It was necessary, of course, to disguise that the true wound was in the shoulder. I had to make a fatal wound that would appear to be caused by the kunai, so I made the throat wound. After all, May would likely remember the trajectory of the kunai was not towards the chest...so the throat wound was clearly necessary.
