A ninja throwing weapon. While ninjas are known for the severe training they undergo, perhaps the most fundamental skill is the throwing of a shuriken. It demands complete control of the arm and wrist to send it flying to the vulnerable part of your foe, and only ninjas who hit their target without fail are worthy of their name.
