The smoke bomb is either used as a distraction or an escape tool. The gas bomb is simply a poisonous gas bomb which causes coughing once breathed in. The light bomb is used to blind a person and it was used to blind Tayuya as part of one of Shikamaru's plans.

Its shape makes it so at least one point is always facing up.

Chakra Knives - The combination of brass knuckles and a knife can be a deadly weapon to any foe. Chakra extends through the metal of the blade and out the end causing the blade to lengthen.
