What it does:
This versatile technique can be used in one of three ways. All three methods involve the use of at least one projectile weapon, with a Giant Shuriken being the traditional choice. Other weapons can also be used if they measure at least 2 feet.

The first and second method use a second weapon or a clone respectively. These are thrown simultaneously so that the second weapon or clone hides in the shadow of the first weapon. Each weapon/clone can individually change its initial trajectory at jutsu speed by no more than 90 degrees of its original trajectory once per post when thrown in this manner, while remaining within 10/20/30 meters of each other. Each weapon/clone would also cause damage equal to jutsu power.

The second weapon (or clone) remains invisible to the naked eye but detectable to passive chakra sensory. If the user has the sensory specialty however, the clone or second weapon is better concealed and may not be detected by any means or chakra sensory except with the use of either chakra vision or a sensory technique with a greater power than 20/30/60.  Should the first weapon be stopped, the second weapon or clone will still continue towards its target independently. As such, the two components of this technique behave as completely independent objects until the second weapon is detected by the target. Should the target detect the second weapon, this technique becomes less effective and its parts cease to behave as independent objects. The second weapon will always cease to be invisible by default once it reaches within 3 meters of its target. 



Both weapons/clone that make up this technique can pierce through other techniques (physical and chakra) with a lower power than this technique without taking damage.

In the case of the second method, the clone behaves exactly as a regular weapon that it has imitated. It cannot imitate augmented ninja tools. It cannot form hand seals or use or maintain any other techniques until its transformation is undone. It can choose any point within its trajectory to undo its transformation voluntarily, or be forced out of its transformation if struck by a technique with a greater power than Shadow Shuriken Technique. If this were to happen to a weapon or a clone, the damage from the opposing technique would be inflicted on them. While transformed, the clone can wear and carry any equipment that it has on its person.

The third method makes use of the collaboration system and can be found here.

Revamp of this

Looks pretty good!

Thoughts on changing it to
Specialty: Weaponry or Sensory - then adding the element of "The clone or second weapon may not be detected by chakra sensory" if they have the sensory spec? Just thinking about making it more accessible to weaponry users as it's primarily intended for them.
