The modern day ninja may very well be among the crowd, in the office space, or serving you that venti Frap you get every morning.  The modern ninja needs to have the proper equipment to to correctly blend into today’s society.

The Shuriken

Shuriken are commonly known in the West as “death stars”, “throwing stars”, “Chinese stars” or “ninja stars”. However, the shuriken took many different shapes and designs during the time that they were used. The major varieties of shuriken are the bō shuriken (棒手裏剣, stick shuriken) and the hira shuriken (平手裏剣, flat shuriken), or shaken (車剣, also read as kurumaken, wheel shuriken).

In this modern day we can also find many other varieties of shuriken.  These new developments in technology allow ninjas to arm themselves without being a threat to the general populace.

A modern ninja must always be ready to turn thier work computer into a killing machine. This easily concealable device not only plays a pivotal tactical role in battle, but also will double as a 2GB USB drive for transporting stolen documents.

Even when the ninja goes home they must be prepared.  Relaxation is not a luxury the ninja can afford, always coiled like a waiting cobra, ready to strike.  In a well equipped ninja household, the ninja star coat hooks are a accessory that should always be close at hand.

Sometimes the best defense is a good offense, every modern day ninja needs to know how to issue a stern warning.  Though many ninjas are not above tin foiling the cubicle or taping the bottom of the optical mouse, there are times that a simple note will suffice.

Remember the Ninja Master is not a lost art of yesterday.  Modern day ninjas lurk about us everyday, in the book store, in the pizza place, or maybe right behind you!
