@lolmanboss 4 года назад

Common missconception: Ninjas only used shuriken when absolute necessary. normally they didnt carry any of them cause they make noise while moving. and if used they where not thrown but put between fingers so they can punch enemies and hurt them with blades. And Kunai where not knifes, they where universal tools for climbing and digging.

We used to make those at home when we were kids, and practice throwing them. We were careful with them, never regarded them as “toys”, we knew better than that. But then one stupid kid two towns over from us got injured from a wheel shuriken, so all martial arts weapons were banned less than a year later in my [former] state.
