Hello Rock Lee, it's nice to meet you. I'm Cilan, a Pokemon Connoisseur from the Unova region. [Not that he expects you to have any idea of what the heck that is.] I'm afraid I haven't heard of a "way of the ninja" before, but from what it sounds like, it does have an agreeable taste: after all, even "genius" can require hard work in order to become knowledgeable and experienced in whatever subjects you're interested in.
