Ninja

**Ninja** (忍者 (ニンジャ) ) is a job class that hailed originally from YGGDRASIL.

## Background

By YGGDRASIL standard, the prerequisite to becoming a Ninja is that the person must at least be level 60 or higher. It apparently seems that such a standard was not applicable in the New World as it is now possible to take the ninja class early on in life.

Normally it would be impossible to acquire the ninja class without be able to satisfy the prerequisite conditions. However it is possible for New World natives to learn professions without regard to certain prerequisites. For example, if one were to collect information at the expense of many casualties, they may be able to acquire the ninja class.

## Known Ninjas

* Nishikienrai
* Tina
* Tia
* Tira

## Known Ninja-type Monsters

* Eight-Edge Assassin
* Hanzo
* Kashin Koji
* Tobi Kato
* Fuuma

## Abilities and Powers

While they are not as good as pure scouting-type characters, no stealth-specialized character can evade a ninja's eyes.

For Thief-type classes out there, Ninja is a specialization that comes from taking many classes of the Assassin [subcategory] and reaching Level 60. Ninjas sacrifice the Direct Combat Ability in pursuit for more Ninjutsu.

### Active

* **Bursting Flame Column**: A ninjutsu skill used to seemingly create a self-imploding explosion with flames.
* **Dark Crossing**: A ninjutsu skill used to teleport from one shadow to another one nearby.
* **Hide Shadow**: A ninjutsu skill used to fuse seamlessly in any shadow, becoming invisible to the naked eye as well as avoiding detection.
* **Immobility Binding Paralysis**: A ninjutsu skill used to temporarily immobilize a single target.
* **Immovable Adamantine Shield**: A ninjutsu skill used to create a large shield radiating with multiple colors to appear in front of her.
* **Shadow Clone**: A ninjutsu skill used to create a clone of herself. The clone has one-quarter of the original body’s battle power. However, only the shadow’s evading ability was determined by the amount of magic power granted to it by the main body.
* **Unnamed Ninja Skill**: A ninjutsu skill which allowed the ninja to detect the presence of those who were concealed by magic or some other skills.

## Trivia

* In the New World, both Tia and Tia have the Ninja class yet the two are not even at level 60 which was supposed to be the requirement in the game.
* Ninjas typically wielded kunai.
* Female ninjas were called kunoichi.
* High-leveled ninja-type monsters like Hanzo are capable of leaving unique afterimages behind them.
* Before Narberal sent off as an adventurer, she tried cosplaying as a ninja for her alter ego before Ainz, which he had to halt and edge her into wearing less conspicuous clothes.
* In Mass for the Dead, there were some swimsuits that were more ninja-styled such as those worn by Narberal Gamma and Albedo. While Narberal's attire made her look like a stealthy ninja, Albedo's made her look more flashy in a skimpy kimono. Though its purpose to support the covert actions of others by standing out as a decoy.
