Bukijutsu

pertains to techniques that entail the use of any handheld weapons in combat, whether the users be shinobi or samurai. Students of the Ninja Academy are taught the use of of ninja weapons and tools, like shuriken and kunai, learning how to throw and wield them through target practice.

Bukijutsu can be used in combination with taijutsu, ninjutsu, chakra flow, and even other weapons in order to achieve more devastating effects, such as the flail used in conjunction with the Infinite Armour, and Kakashi Hatake's use of lightning-infused kunai. Shurikenjutsu is a sub-type of bukijutsu, revolving completely around the use of shuriken of various sizes.
