This technique is an assassination technique best done at night or within the shadows. After forming the needed hand signals, the user manipulates the air currents around them and tosses more than ten shuriken into the air. While the shuriken are in the air, the user keeps the wind as quiet as possible and the shuriken scatter off. Once the target comes into view, the user has the shuriken hit as many vital points of mobility to bring the target down. Then, the user whips a blast of wind towards the user's neck, either slitting their throat or decapitating them.
This technique requires that the user is hidden, yet capable of having a good view of their target. Also, movement is strictly unwanted due to the possibly of making a noise or coming into view, so the user has to have mastery of Wind Release to move the shuriken flawlessly. Also, the user can distract the target before making an attack to prevent a counterattack of some kinds.
