This ninja weapon consists of a chain with a weight attached to each end of the chain. Various sizes and shapes of chain and weight could be used. After all, it never had any established rules for its construction.
Ninja Weapon - Kama
Kama is nothing more than a miniature scythe. It is very similar to agricultural tools. They were very easy to transport. In addition, they were extremely easy to conceal when wielding. Remembering that these were two essential needs for ninjas.
This ninja weapon was originally used in agriculture to cut rice. Yes, that's right, she was just a farm implement like a hoe. It is a weapon that can be used both alone and in pairs. Kama is often included in martial arts weapons training segments.
ninja weapon - Kusarigama
And as a weapon well known in the world, we have the Kusarigama. For anyone who has watched "assassin ninja" knows what this weapon is. She was created from some sort of junction between kama and manriki-gusari.
That is, a chain with a small sickle at one of its ends. The kusarigama's unusual appearance perfectly matches its mystery and potential. After all, they are weapons that can be used in short, medium and long range attacks. All with high death potential.
Especially when used for this purpose. Its strange shape and complex movements always have a great deadly effect. The deaths that were caused by this weapon are innumerable.

The most well-known weapon in the ninja's arsenal is the ranged weapon, known as a shuriken. This ninja weapon is a kind of star made of metal. Remembering that there are many types and forms of Shuriken. They are used by throwing, being kept hidden until the last minute.

NINJA WEAPON – Kunai
The famous ninja knives for assassinations. another ranged weapon used through throwing. An easily concealable knife perfect for throwing, the kunai was a favorite among ninjas.
And just like the previous one, it has a wide range of shapes and types. It can vary even more than Shuriken. But let's leave this part alone. This is another ninja weapon that gained a lot of popularity through the Naruto anime.
NINJA WEAPON - Poison
Well, the latter may not be specifically considered a weapon like the previous ones. But it is still a type of weapon, in fact, an extremely lethal one. And we can list it as the most lethal so far when the quality is high.
Ninjas have always needed to be discreet. So often they couldn't just slit the person's throat or pierce the heart. In these cases, they needed something less flashy.
Thus, they preferred to kill their enemies, with small, almost imperceptible wounds. Which should never be detected. The poison was decisive at this stage, which would be injected into their weapons to infect the wounds.
Because of this method, poison has become a hallmark of the ninja. After all, they needed to murder without being seen, much less discovered than captured. The poison turned into the perfect “ninja weapon”.
