Shuriken (Naruto)

Human: Shuriken are one of the most fundamental ninja tools seen in the Naruto series. They take the form of four-pronged metal stars that have been sharpened for throwing purposes. In addition to their function as projectiles, they can also be employed in close combat situations, although not with optimal results. Despite their compact size, these weapons are surprisingly effective at distracting or pinning down enemy shinobi, and if thrown accurately, can even inflict fatal wounds or render an opponent completely helpless. The central opening of each shuriken serves a dual purpose: it provides a secure grip for the user to prevent accidental injury from the blades, as well as allowing thread to be passed through it for added functionality. This circular design also contributes significantly to the overall aerodynamics of the weapon, ensuring that thrown shurikens fly more accurately and consistently.
