The balance is fine, but let's be honest, this jutsu is difficult to land which is fine, the scaling is fine, the damage is fine, but what good is it for a lowbie to have this jutsu self-stun, what advantage can this have against a high level, if what you want is to maintain that danger in battle, the selfstun is fine, but that the selfstun is almost equal or even higher than the enemy's stun makes it an incomplete jutsu, you should reduce the self stun time of the jutsu, if your objective is balancing a fight against a lvl high being a lowbie.
#Fumma Shuriken SelfStun

This is true. The moment the lowbie throws out that Fuuma it's just an act of defiance. Even if they hit the Fuuma, the stun duration on target is less than the self stun. They're dead the moment they throw it, it's just a matter if they hit anything or not to die with a smirk on their face.

Agreed since fumma's creation

Every time a Lowbie asks me if the Fumma Shuriken is good, I tell him no but I never tell him not to buy it and try it, they themselves realize after 3 or 4 times of using it in a real battle and although they leave or just dont use it there when they have the opportunity to eliminate it they do it.
Older players know this more than anyone else, even though they have lowbie accounts, they proceed to not buy it, and if they do buy it, they use it to bait, cancel it, or to brag with it. An experienced PVP player will never use the fumma shuriken, they know that using that jutsu is not good trading.

Please make it useful, perhaps elimate the self stun and .5s the enemies stun or just enough time to combo an attack in/get distance. I used it when I started, landed it fine but the self stun almost always got me hit, useless as shadow kunai can be used and not be hit/chains well and does alr dmg all I'd ask is it's on par with the others. As of now, never seen anyone use it out of lvl 10 ranges.

Fuuma has always worked as a jutsu to support the stronger players in the village. A lowbie throws it and has a chance at stunning the enemy with massive draw backs
It’s honestly perfectly designed for its role of mirroring Naruto and Sasuke in kakashi vs zabuza
MAYBE there could be a high level alternative to trade out for at a higher level to get rid of the self stun. That way lowbies still feel the drawbacks of using a powerful jutsu while mature ninjas have the body strength to withstand them
