Stealthy Ninja Character with Sword

This illustration features a ninja in a classic black shinobi shozoku, with only their piercing eyes visible through the hood and mask. The figure is captured in a dynamic, low stance, suggesting readiness for combat or stealthy movement. They firmly grip a distinctive katana-style sword with a uniquely serrated or wavy blade, held prominently in front. An additional scabbard hangs at their hip, complementing the traditional Japanese warrior aesthetic. Details like the wrapped forearms and lower legs add to the authentic appearance of a skilled martial artist.
