Sand Shuriken

• Name: Sand Shuriken (砂手裏剣, Suna Shuriken)
• Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
• User: Gaara (Post Transformation)
• Debut (Anime): Naruto Episode 77
• Debut (Manga): Chapter 132

Once Gaara begins transforming into Shukaku, he can throw shuriken made from sand. Unlike regular shuriken, these are merely fast-moving balls of sand that cause blunt trauma, not actual wounds. They are thrown much faster than regular shuriken; therefore, the pain caused can be considerable.
