The ninneko has 6 chakra points which they can expend. All chakra points are regained at the end of a long rest. Keen Sense. The ninneko has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell. Feline. The ninneko has advantage on Stealth checks and may take the Dash action as a bonus action if it does not take the Attack action. Variable Size. While usually Medium, ninneko range can be as small as Tiny. Regardless of size, all ninneko use the same statistics, including hit points. ACTIONS Unarmed Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage. Chakra Fang (2+ Chakra). Melee Spell attack +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature.

The ninneko becomes unable to be smelled or heard until the end of its next turn. Shadow of the Dancing Leaf (3 Chakra). As a bonus action, the ninneko gains the ability to move across any liquid surface— such as water, acid, mud, snow, quicksand, or lava— as if it were harmless solid ground (creatures crossing molten lava can still take damage from the heat) for 1 minute. If they cast this Jutsu while submerged in a liquid, the Jutsu carries them to the surface of the liquid at a rate of 60 feet per round. Additionally, their movement speed increases by half its total (rounded down), and attacks of opportunity against them have disadvantage. REACTIONS Substitution (3+ Chakra). When the ninneko is hit by an attack and would take damage, they decrease the damage by 8 (1d10 + 3) and teleports up to 15 ft. in any direction to an unoccupied space, during which they take the Hide action. A generic object is left in their place and they take any remaining damage from that attack. The ninneko can add reduce this damage by an additional 6 (1d10) points per chakra point spent over the initial cost.

[Source]. Ninja cats, often called ninneko, have a long history as the lesser-utilized rivals of ninja dogs. While many ninneko are capable of speaking, not all are, and some simply do not wish to speak with humans. Some ninneko are loyal to human companions, though they have caught a reputation of being in the service of black market dealers, forcing many to stay within their own various communities, such as Nekomata's Palace.
