'''Dog Ninja (犬忍者 inu ninja)''' is the twenty-third rhythm game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''. The main playable character is a dog that slices various things such as vegetables, tires, and frying pans.
{{Nihongo|Dog Ninja|<ruby>犬忍者<rt>いぬにんじゃ</rt></ruby>|Inu Ninja}} is the 3rd [[Rhythm Game]] of the fifth stage (23rd overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and the 2nd of [[Lush Tower]] (29th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
==Gameplay==
The objects can come into the screen from either side and be sliced when they reach the middle. They can also come in on both sides at the same time, but this doesn't change the timing, it just causes somewhat of a distraction. When a good slice is done, the object splits in half.
==Controls==
*Flick: Slice
==Hit or Miss==
*Hit: The item is solidly sliced in half.
*Barely: The item will bounce of of the blade, making a slight noise.
*Miss: The sword will completely miss the thrown item.
==Rating Notes==
*[[Try Again]]: "''Haaaaiiii - - Huh?''"
*[[OK]]: "''I think I've earned a little snack.''"

The player plays as the eponymous [[Dog Ninja!]], who slices things such as vegetables, tires, and cast-iron skillets. The objects come into the screen from either left or right, or both sides, and must be sliced at the precise moment.
During practice, [[Dog Ninja!]] can be seen inside a room. In the real game, he is seen outside, with [[Mister Eagle]] appearing at the start with a sign saying "Cut everything!"

*The eagle that appears at the beginning reappears in Slicing Legend 2.
**Additionally, the prologue to this game shares the same scenario as the one to [[Ninja Bodyguard]]: A big yellow moon with grass in the foreground with a dark blue sky.
*[[Mister Eagle]] reappears in [[Super Samurai Slice 2]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.

I, a humble ninja beagle, did battle on high a mighty eagle. I fought for my lord most regal, though it was probably illegal. I was then befouled by a seagull. I pray there is no sequel.
