<description><![CDATA[A Ninja is silent assassin, a warrior of night. He moves like a cat, without making a sound and can complete his job before you can say "Ninjitsu". A Ninja uniform must be black coloured that camouflages with the darkness of the night and also, a Ninja in pink wouldn't look very amusing. Ninja uniform should not be too tight and you can expect it to be too loose either. Unlike a Samurai, foot wear in a Ninja uniform is kept such, that it makes minimum noise when the Ninja walks and lets our man do the job without making any extra noise, there is a sole, but, a very thin one. Most important part of the uniform, is the mask, a ninja uniform must include a mask. Without a mask, one can't be a Ninja. Ninja uniform is designed in a way, that it doesn't interferes in the combat, weather it is martial arts or using weapons. A Ninja should wear comfortable clothes, because, his job is not really one of the most comfortable jobs.]]></description>
