Orochi Soul-Reaver
Creature — Snake Ninja Rogue
Whenever one or more creatures you control deal combat damage to a player, create a Treasure token and manifest the top card of that player's library. (Put it onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature. Turn it face up any time for its mana cost if it's a creature card.)

The ninjutsu ability can be activated only after blockers have been declared. Before then, attacking creatures are neither blocked nor unblocked.

Although the Ninja is attacking, it was never declared as an attacking creature (for purposes of abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks, for example).

As you activate a ninjutsu ability, you reveal the Ninja card in your hand and return the attacking creature to its owner’s hand. The Ninja card stays revealed and isn’t put onto the battlefield until the ability resolves. If it leaves your hand before then, it won’t enter the battlefield at all.

The creature with ninjutsu enters the battlefield attacking the same player, planeswalker, or battle that the returned creature was attacking. This is a rule specific to ninjutsu; in other cases, when a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking, that creature’s controller chooses which player, planeswalker, or battle it’s attacking.
