Strongest Ninja?

I've decided to do something different with the poll system. Instead of doing a repeat if a similar question of which game you like best, or which boss is the coolest, I've decided to a "versus" system.
This means that I'll set up a poll every week with a character from the Final Fantasy universe to face off against another character from the Final Fantasy universe. I'll try to keep it as balanced as possible, however, there are characters that are overpowered for whatever reason.

Anyhow, this week is Ninja vs Ninja.
I just watched Ninja Assassin with my girlfriend and thought I'd do this.
You the community most vote on which Ninja is the strongest to truly decide.

You got the idea from FF Wiki am I right? I could change it for you. you could even make a touranament!

I hadn't even finished posting the actual poll before you posted this. >_<;
I did not get this idea from FF Wiki; however, this idea has been done time again on many different sites.
I thought I'd do it as well.

I voted for Shadow. Reasons? Because he would slit my mothers neck for a nickel.

No original Ninja? Edge is up next then! why? dualweild....steal......throw...and his slic kand realy handsome!?

actualy ninja cass is the job -.- i voted for edge then meh edge has a name atleast

shadow hands down.

The last option has a "Specify Ninja Class or Job" option. :p

I'm picking Edge. I don't see Shadow being able to steal, use ninjutsu(he has to use SCROLLS, HE CAN'T DO IT BY HIMSELF), AND dual-wield without the use of a relic. Plus, Edge manages to get in a humorous scene here and there, while Shadow is too serious to even think of such things.

if u want shadow to steal give him a thief knife. bottom line is shadow is great not just because of his strong throws and attack power but also he has the shadowfang and interceptor to intercept being attacked and 50/50 counterattack.

Yeah...I forgot about that one.
