"Eh."
Bows still fit, to me - ranged, yes, but still fitting. (It's also nice when you pair it with /ta.) Shuriken I'm not wild about. The dart or mini-crossbow, maybe - after all, the attacks are there in the widow trees.
Alternately, give melee attacks. Have it as a 100% melee mastermind. Give them a sword! 
Give my Henchmen Ninja Run and I'll call it even.

While giving the Ninja minions Ninja Run might look cool and seem like a good idea on the surface, I can't even imagine how much that would magnify the Ninja reputation for being ADD aggro monkeys.
Gotta keep that leash pretty short if they get hit with Speed Boost as it is.
The Players' Guide to the Cities
One of the MOre underrated powersets in-game. I love it, though I may be a bit biased...
Anyway
I've observed, and may or may not have read, that Each MMs ranged powers are supposed to match up with the theme of their henchman
Thugs Use pistols- Thug MMs use Dual Pistols
Dark Knights use darkness attacks- Necro MMs Use dark blasts
Mercenaries use Assault Rifles- Merc MMs use Assault Rifles
Robots Use Lasers- Robotic MMs use Laser Pulse Rifles
Ninja Use Shuriken- Ninja MMs use.... bows?
I know Ninja Used to use Bows, and there were issues with that, so they got shuriken instead, unfortunately this kinda broke the thematic resonance.
I would love if Ninja MMs had the option to use three shuriken attacks instead of the bow attacks, or, even better If they got three attacks with the wrist-mounted dart shooter that jounin get in their first upgrade, Good idea or no?
