Ninja Attack is a Wind Move Card. It is somewhat similar to Mayfly.

Statistics

It was the third of three Attack Moves for Wind.

Effect: Run forward and create duplicates of yourself, all of which jump up and land around his opponent, running in a circle around them; then, the copies dash from one side to the other, slamming the opponent as they pass, the hits quickly coming faster and faster!
Other: It was in the card folio Jonathan had. It was stolen by the Alpha Gang, but was reclaimed by Dr. Taylor, who gave it to Rex. It was Ace's second Move Card; it was his second most-used Move in season 1, but was only used once in Mesozoic Meltdown. Shear used another copy with her Megaraptor (Meg), but it was countered by Ace's Ultimate Wind.

Artwork from its various arcade cards is also seen on the TCG Move Cards Whirlwind (06 4th), Gust of Vengeance (Kaku 6th), Breakneck Blitz (06 5th), and Stealth Slash (06 6th).
This Move has had various interactions with other Moves:
- In Dance Evolution, Ace used it to jump over Tank's ground-splitting Earthquake.
- Ace used it against Terry in Temple Tempest, but Terry dodged it and Tag Team's Pawpawsaurus jumped into his place to get hit instead.
- Ace used it in A Mesozoic Mess to avoid getting hit by Allosaurus' Mayfly and then quickly hit it right after its attack was over.
In the anime, Wind Dinosaurs using this Move usually duplicate while rushing towards their opponent and then continue to run in a circle while enveloping the opponent, making it look similar to Mayfly (since they score similarly high numbers of hits). In the arcade, Wind Dinosaurs duplicate into only six copies that surround the opponent while standing still, then rush into the center to attack (thus only scoring six hits).
In the anime, the animation for Ninja Attack doesn't show the attack going for the center of the opponent, but a small triangle around them. This can be seen clearly in Ninja Nightmare!, when Ace uses it against the Deinonychus trio and merely corrals them closer together, failing to hit at all.
Though the DS Game recycles the arcade game's animation for this Move, the copies of the dinosaur are not visibly present, and instead streaks of empty air appear to strike the opponent.
