Answer

No — you can't bundle a spell-move with a Standard Move, and by the time one of them lands, the window for the other is already closed.

Only Standard Moves can be performed simultaneously (multiple units to the same destination as one game action, ). Shuriken Flip is a spell on the Chain — it can't join that declaration, and while it's on the Chain the state is Closed ().

Even sequenced back-to-back it fails: the instant a unit arrives at a battlefield you don't control, Contested is applied, and the following Cleanup immediately stages and opens a Showdown/Combat there (–323.12). Once it's open, Standard Moves are banned () and Shuriken Flip can't be played — it has no Action or Reaction keyword (). So whichever you do first, the second unit can't get in before the fight resolves (FAQ #12450). If you want two units to arrive together, do one simultaneous Standard Move with both units (or Ganking) — no spell required.
