1''The Greek Ninja'' was an online novel by Seireina. [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant Has nothing to do with]] ComicBook/{{Elektra}}, even though there's an Ele'''[[SpellMyNameWithAnS c]]'''tra here.
2
3It follows the life of a young ninja living in Greece and attending a martial arts school there. One day, her Sensei is killed by a mysterious force, and she sets out on a journey in order to fulfill her late teacher's wish; to find her real self.
4
5The prophecy she receives from the oracle is beyond belief; the dreams that had been tormenting her every night turn out to be lost memories from her previous life, that of a legendary hero. But that's not it. The world is in danger and fate has it that she must save it from destruction. Besides, the force responsible for that is the same one responsible for her teacher's death. Her hope of avenging him is reignited.
6
7A longer and more painful journey begins, now with the addition of two kindhearted Greeks to the team. This time, the destination is Japan. They return a year later to Greece, having retrieved the Legacy of Hiroyuki, a much-needed force for the final battle in the form of an arrogant samurai. They find things have changed drastically.

9The war has begun and they must hurry if they want to have any chance of winning it.

14!! Greek Ninja provides examples of:
15
16* ActionGirl: Almost all female characters.
17* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: The invasion of the academy that started it the whole thing. Unfortunately, that was just the tip of the iceberg...
18* AloofAlly: Electra in the Third Arc.
19* BadassCrew: Sasha and what ended up being referred to as "her group".
20* BandOfBrothers: What it says above.
21* BelligerentSexualTension: Sasha and Daichi? Why, of course, they all but try to kill each oth- oh wait! Nope, they've done that.
22* BrilliantButLazy: Daichi is shown to be this to start with.
23* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Both Sasha and Daichi find themselves feeling this way about people. [[spoiler: Especially each other.]]
24* CelibateHero: Daichi, who, despite attracting a lot of female attention, is uninterested by the fact.
25* CharacterDevelopment: Almost all characters, especially Sasha and Daichi, who go through major personality changes.
26* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Dawson can be a bit of this.
27* CycleOfRevenge: Secret theme that is revealed in the end.
28* DumbMuscle: Menelaos sometimes acts like one.
29* {{Fangirl}}: Iphigenie has a profound love for all guys who are pretty.
30%%* FunPersonified: Menelaos again.
31* GratuitousEnglish: Menelaos, who speaks English by making direct translations from Greek. That results in the creation of a language unlike English or Greek.
32%%* HeterosexualLifePartners: Sasha and Iphigenie.
33* HoYay: Sasha's encounter with Dolores, the crazy succubus, who has "interesting" ways of killing her victims...
34* IAmWho: Sasha has one of these moments when she finds out who she really is from Pythia.
35* ICanStillFight: Surprisignly enough for the group, it was Dawson that pulled this little stunt.
36* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Daichi, and also Sasha fits into this trope. Gradually, they both become less jerks, so then they are forced to act like they still are.
37* LadyOfWar: Sasha and Eleonora, Sasha being more ruthless and Eleonora more graceful (except when she loses it which is often.)
38* TheLeader: Sasha, and she gets really mad you try to dispute that.
39* KatanasAreJustBetter: You know they are! Well, Sasha, Daichi and Electra certainly do.

41* NinjaSchool: Ariadnio.
42* OutOfCharacterMoment: Daichi has a major one near the end, and Sasha many throughout the story. Also Dawson, whose character runs on this, although in his case this happens cause it's hard to define his character. [[spoiler: Highly-skilled tracker, a HiddenBadass, or just a goofball?]]
43* PrettyBoy: Hashimoto Daichi and Nektarios Lekas are the most prominent ones.
44* ProphecyTwist: Yup, one in the infamous prophecy. That ought to be a surprise.
45* ShipperOnDeck: Eleonora, with Menelaos and Dawson participating, to Sasha and Daichi.
46-->‘You’re joking, right? He’s the male version of you! Except that he’s more spoilt, but other than that, you two are made for each other!’
47* ShirtlessScene: Daichi has one. Iphigenie, Sasha's childhood friend, is impressed.
48* TallDarkAndHandsome: Menelaos even gets a fangirl. [[spoiler: Iphigenie, who else?]]
49* TimeSkip: Happens twice between the arcs.
50* TheVoiceless: Menelaos a lot of the time due to his limited knowledge of English.
