The team I run with ningendo is ssk kimimaro and ningendo.

x - LM - X
Ssk - Nin - Kimi
X - X - X

Talents: 2 3 4 1 3 Summon: Serpent

Notes:
1) Ningendo's hp is pretty low, which is why he is surrounded like that.
2) Root of warrior allows you to eat 1 mystery on turn 2 without having any status effect (along with the mirror helps being there helps) - ie if you have lower initiative just let your opponents use their mystery first before activating yours
3) The combo chases off ningendo twice - mirror effect is useless against that.
4) Overall high combo team (9 with serpent) with Ningendo playing the key role to the team. (ie try to make sure he doesn't die)

Hope my lineup helps.
*edit: realize how old this post actually was, but hopefully helps the guy on top of me xD
