This technique of the Third Hokage, nicknamed the Professor, is an elaborate shuriken throw that can be lethal with enough skill. By focusing his chakra in the projectile, the user is able to enlarge it several times to make a deadly weapon, even all by itself. The technique has been known to ravage the enemy ranks in the second Great War, and cut down immense trees. To avoid peculiar balance issues, the shuriken is thrown first and the technique performed as it is in mid-flight. The user makes a ranged attack with a shuriken with doubled range increment. The attack, if it hits, deals damage as per size category (see below), as the weapon is enlarged in mid-flight.

Empower
The thrown shuriken is controllably enlarged 1 category size at a time, each size category costing more Chakra, starting from Tiny (base weapon size). The weapon returns to its original size after the attack has been made, regardless whether it hit or not.

• Small: The shuriken deals 10 points of piercing damage plus the user's Strength (+1 per 20).
  
  
• Medium-sized: The shuriken deals 25 points of piercing damage plus the user's Strength (+1 per 20).
  
  
• Large: The shuriken deals 50 points of slashing damage plus the user's Strength (+1 per 20).
  
  
• Huge: The shuriken deals 80 points of slashing damage plus the user's Strength (+1 per 20) times 1.5.
  
  
• Gargantuan: The shuriken deals 100 points of slashing damage plus the user's Strength (+1 per 20) times 2.
  
  
• Colossal: The shuriken deals 200 points of slashing damage plus the user's Strength (+1 per 20) times 3.
