根據一個日本歷史學者講,信長公記有好多個版本。其中得一個係有講信長賜彌助薪金,配劍同住屋。而呢個版本唔係最早,以上描述係手抄時加入。所以唔可以咁肯定講彌助就係武士。

“However, it should be noted that the description of Yasuke being given a sword and a house
can only be found in the Sonkeikaku Bunko edition of "The Chronicle of Nobunaga."
According to Kaneko Taku, a professor at the Historiographical Institute of the University of Tokyo who is known for his research on Oda Nobunaga, the Sonkeikaku Bunko version was copied in 1719 by Ota Yazaemon Kazuhiro (four generations after Ushiichi) from a handwritten version that had been handed down in the Kaga Ota family, who were descendants of Ota Ushiichi and served the Maeda family of the Kaga domain, and presented it to the Maeda family (the handwritten version by Ushiichi that had been handed down in the Kaga Ota family was destroyed in a fire).
Given the circumstances under which it has been transmitted,
the Sonkeikaku Bunko version can be considered a copy with a certain degree of reliability, but it cannot be denied that the description of Yasuke being given a sword and a house may have been added during the copying process.”
