The ninja stars are called shuriken.

Also, ninjas and fiction depicting them were around way before Naruto, which is a crap representation of them.

Naruto is such a awful anime.
Basilisk, now that’s a good anime about ninjas.

This post also reminds me of this.

I would say that the Shurikens ninja are reference to Ryu by the cloths no for the wood, and the Sword ones are for Goemon who is a old school game saga, that blue hair with red clothes are too similar.

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.

Naruto isn’t a “ninja”. Just an FYI.

In GW2, Trading Post plays you!

Ninjas in popular culture have been around for a long, long time. Way before Naruto came upon the scene (which I will grant has really brought a lot of tropes about ninjas into the mainstream).

Ninja stars (shuriken, as they’re properly called) were an actual weapon used by real-life ninja. They are actually not designed to be lethal most of the time, used instead as devices to blind or distract foes by throwing them while closing in for a more lethal strike. However, it was not unheard of for shuriken or other throwing weapons to be coated in poison and used for assassination.

The trope of “ninja vanish”, leaving behind a wooden log or facisimile of the ninja also predates Naruto. My first encounter with it was in the Japanese fighting game “Samurai Shodown”, which first debuted in 1993. (Read up about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samurai_Shodown) It was a move used by two characters in the roster: Hanzo Hattori, and Galford, both of whom were ninjas. However, I’m sure that the idea of it probably existed before Samurai Shodown.
