A forgotten NES game.

Well, this is just one unpopular game in the NES. Rare one, yet Japanese.
When you start the game the background is all blue with some title on it. Theres a shuriken in the title.
First stage, then your character is some sort of a ninja. I dont really get it if he is really a ninja, yet for me he's a ninja, Wearing blue with a scarf.
Your abilities.........hmmm you can transform into a Female Ninja that runs pretty fast and throws a boomerang........Then you can even transform into an old man (Priest?) with a staff.......Wearing some kind of white clothes......In the middle of the game you'll go get some map parts..[uh...]
Whats more..........Around in the last part of the game, you'll go in a ship. Then some sort of opening and closing poles........pretty hard, but fun.Soooooo, does anybody know?

Too many ninja gamesBut ill take a stab at it. I haven't played it in forever and don't really remember much besides the name butKid Niki

On second thought, that doesn't sound like Kid Niki at all.

I SUMMON THEE, CAHOS.I would have said Ninja Gaiden, but you mentioned transformation..
