Shadow Shuriken Jutsu

Odin read the technique, no the jutsu to the letter.  He double checked for hand signs or any special way to activate it.  It was simply a technique used with practice and skill in order to trick the opponent.  Odin had never practiced throwing two kunai or shuriken at once.  If he were to be in a real battle, sometimes these tricks might come in handy.  Odin marked the page he was on and closed the book.  He put it back into his pouch, a safe place for it. 
Next, he took out all the kunai and shurikens he had on his person and counted each one. 
Five kunai and five shuriken.  This might be a pain, he thought.

He stood up, placing his two black ninjatos on the ground.  He first picked up two shurikens, holding both with one hand.  He held the first between his pointer and middle and the second between his ring and pinky finger.  Next, he chose a training dummy to aim at. 
Since Dum Dum is torn to pieces from my chidori, I guess the next one will do.  He thought, looking at the training dummy ripped into four pieces.  He guessed no one has come to clean up the mess he made.  Or rather no one was going to clean up his own mess but himself.  He would worry about the mess after he trained some more.

It was time to get down to business.  He wasn't sure how the application of the jutsu worked but he had to try it out.  He set himself parallel to the training dummy in front of him.  He positioned his hand up by his ear, crossing his arm over his chest.   He threw both shurikens at the dummy.  He watched the shurikens fly at his target.
 The shurikens split apart, ending up side by side horizontally instead of vertically.  Odin sucked his teeth in fustration as the two shurikens hit the dummy. 

He walked over to the bench nearby and picked up two more shurikens.  He walked back to the exact spot that he had thrown the previous shurikens.  He held the shurikens at the same spots in his hand, crossing his arm over his chest.  He cocked back.  He threw the shurikens again, trying to concentrate on the way he threw the two shurikens. Once again the two shurikens flew in unison, side by side horizontally.  

Odin sucked his teeth as he walked up to the training dummy.  He looked back at the bench to check to see if he had more shurikens.  None, as expected. Odin began walking toward the dummy. He thought about the technique again.  He had to do a different throwing technique if he was going to master this jutsu. 



Is this even a jutsu or even a practice technique in order to master other techniques? I need to first figure out the way to perfect the throw. 

The jutsu seemed pretty practical,throw one shuriken.

....Then throw the other, Odin didn't need to put much thought into the process. This 'jutsu' was just the beginning of many other forms if done correctly.  He knew it was the easiest form of double throwing. 

"I need to master this as soon as possible.  If I don't, I would be a crappy future chuunin!"  Odin tells himself while walking up to the training dummy.  He takes out the four shurikens, one by one. He took a couple steps back, practicing his throw without actually throwing anything.  He thought about how to throw the shurikens, different techniques...

Odin held a shuriken in each hand.  He kept practicing different throwing styles and throwing techniques while he backed up even further.  He stared hard for a moment, knowing that he will be able to do it this time.  He pocketed two shurikens and put the other two in between the pointer and middle finger, one in each hand.  He put his arms over each shoulder, winding up before the actual throw.  He needed to time the throw, making sure the shurikens were thrown like one.  
The shurikens need to become one.  One is the ghost of the other.  

He threw the shurikens in unison, he felt in his heart that he perfected it as he watched the shurikens fly true.  The shurikens flew together as one.  Even Odin's eye almost deceived him, he could have sworn he just threw one for the moment.  He pulled out the other two from his pouches.  

He sighed as he held the two shurikens in his one hand again.  He couldn't get the technique right with one hand but it was this time that he would do it.  He held his arm back over his shoulder. 

 He focused on the target, this time actually aiming, focusing with his third eye.  
He aimed with his hand, not with his eye.  
He threw the shuriken with his heart, not with his hand.
He imagined the shuriken floating together as one, then he saw them; the shurikens blended in as one object.  

Odin smirked, walking over to the kunai resting on the bench.  As he walked back, he knew the 'trick' to the jutsu, if it was even deemed to be called that. 
"More like a practice session," he said as he held all four kunai, two in each hand.  
He jumped to the side, targeting two training dummies at once.  
The kunai flew at each dummy, four becoming two.  The jutsu was embedded into his chakra system, becoming instinct now.  
The kunai hit the same spots on the training dummies.  

As expected.  

Odin plucked all his equipment off the training dummies, he was done here.
