Jutsu (Naruto)

Template:Spoiler In the anime and manga series Naruto a jutsu (術, "Technique" or "Skill" in Japanese) is a general term referring to any technique a ninja might use that not any ordinary human could naturally imitate. In some cases the line between a simple action and a Jutsu is blurred and vague, allowing for some humor (Uzumaki Naruto: "What? How did you get loose?!" Uchiha Sasuke: "Rope Untying no Jutsu. It's basic stuff.")

Jutsu are usually the product of channeling chakra to a certain part or parts of the body (through the inner coil system, which is to chakra as blood vessels are to blood) and then manipulating it to create an effect which wouldn't be possible otherwise. If the inner coil system malfunctions or is blocked in any way, it is impossible to perform any jutsu at all.

The English version of the Naruto manga has English names for the attacks, which are often stated with the attacks' Japanese names in translations starting in 2005. The North American Naruto fanbase prefers to use the Japanese as of April 2005.

Basic information

Generally speaking, jutsu are divided into three categories: Taijutsu (Body techniques), Genjutsu (Mind techniques) and Ninjutsu (Techniques that rely on sources beyond those). Besides these main categories there is another, more specific category: Fūin jutsu (Sealing techniques).
Besides being either Ninjutsu, Taijutsu or Genjutsu a jutsu can also be "Hiden" (秘伝, "Secret"). Hiden jutsu are jutsu passed down from generation to generation within some clans.

There is technically another category called Kinjutsu (禁術, "Forbidden Techniques"), but it refers not to the type of the jutsu but to the fact that it is forbidden to learn or perform it. A technique can be categorized as kinjutsu if it either causes great harm to the user if overused, such as Rock Lee's Lotus techniques, or if the techniques are dark or sinister in nature, such as many of Orochimaru's skills.

There are also Kekkei genkai. These are not really jutsu, but special, genetically inherited abilities like the ability to copy other jutsu or to merge your body with other bodies. Kekkei genkai abilities that work via the user's eye are called Dōjutsu (瞳術, "Pupil Techniques").
Some jutsu are based on Kekkei Genkai, like Tsukuyomi.

Ranking
There are seven different ranks in jutsu:
S-rank: Secret: extreme level jutsu
A-rank: Kinjutsu: ultra high level jutsu
B-rank: Jōnin level jutsu
C-rank: Chūnin level jutsu
D-rank: Genin level jutsu
E-rank: Academy student level jutsu
No rank: Jutsu relying on the unique abilities of the users (Kekkei genkai, Hiden jutsu)

Genjutsu (illusion techniques)

Genjutsu (幻術, "Illusion Techniques") are techniques that use the chakra in the victim's nervous system to create illusions; an advanced intellectual Ninjutsu. The most commonly seen Genjutsu is simple creation of phantasms- causing the targeted person to hear, see, smell, taste and feel things that are not actually there in order to manipulate them; other applications of Genjutsu are rare.

There are several ways to counter Genjutsu. Because it uses the victim's own chakra against him, he can cancel the genjutsu by trying to stop, and thereby disrupt, his own chakra flow. This is called Genjutsu Kai (幻術解, "Illusion Technique Cancel"). If this doesn't work, then the only way for the victim to cancel the Genjutsu is having someone else disrupt his chakra flow with theirs through body contact. It has also been seen that if a person caused themself a "shocking" pain (such as a stab wound or broken finger) that they will wake up as well.

Type: C-rank, supplementary, mid- to long-range (5+m)

Users: Oboro, Kagari, Mubi

Name: Tsukuyomi, 月読, literally "Moon Reader"

Type: Kekkei Genkai, No rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Uchiha Itachi

Named after the Shinto god of the moon, this Genjutsu is one of the most powerful Uchiha jutsu enabled by the Mangekyō Sharingan. The Mangekyō user places the victim in an illusory world where all aspects, including the perception of time, are controlled by the user.

Uchiha Itachi uses this ability to inflict several days' worth of torment on his victims in an instant, which tends to leave the victim bedridden. However, Tsukuyomi is an enormous drain on the user, which discourages its frequent use.

Taijutsu (Body Techniques)

Taijutsu (体術, "Body techniques", or more figuratively hand-to-hand combat) refers to any techniques involving the martial arts or the optimisation of natural human abilities in general. In some cases chakra is involved to enhance the techniques, but generally speaking a Taijutsu user can fare well without much chakra available compared to a Genjutsu or Ninjutsu user. See also: real-world Taijutsu, basically a general term for a wide range martial arts techniques.

Asakujaku (Morning Peacock)

Name: Asakujaku, 朝孔雀, literally "Morning Peacock"

Users: Maito Gai

Maito Gai first opens the sixth Celestial Gate (Hachimon Tonkō: Dairoku: Keimon: Kai, 八門遁甲・第六・景門・開, "Eight Gates Release: Number Six: View Gate: Open"), which gives him access to an enormous amount of chakra. Using this tremendous burst of power and speed, he will approach his opponent in a distinctive "crane" stance. When near enough, he will kick his opponent and launch them into the air. He will then strike them multiple times, causing the distinctive peacock fan to develop. His opponent will then fall back to the earth, covered in the strike's aura.

Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Hakke Kusho (Eight Trigrams Empty Palm)

Name: Hakke Kūshō, 八卦空掌, literally "Eight Trigrams Empty Palm"

Type: Unknown, probably: Kekkei genkai, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)

Users: Hyūga Neji

A palm thrust, done while out of arms' reach, pushes away the victim violently.

Hakke Rokujuyon Sho (Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms)

Name: Hakke Rokujūyon Shō, 八卦六十四掌, literally "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms" (a.k.a. "Divination Field: or Divine Sixty-Four Strikes" and "64 Hands of Hakke".)

Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Hyūga Neji

A very advanced Gentle Fist Style technique, the user must be able to see the Chakra holes (tenketsu, 点穴, "pressure points")) of the opponent and execute it with incredible dexterity and precision in order for it to be effective. In a series of two heavy strikes, followed by two more, followed by four, followed by eight, followed by sixteen, followed by a dazzling thirty-two consecutive pinpoint-precision strikes, this jutsu closes 64 of the 361 tenketsu of the opponent completely. The last of the sixty-four strikes appears to be a blow with the full, open hand, rather than the fingertips of the index and middle fingers. The end result is a victim with disrupted chakra flow, making it very problematic to stay standing up and impossible to execute jutsu, unless an alternate chakra source is available, which is exceedingly rare and has only been demonstrated thus far in people containing a Bijū (Tail Beast). This jutsu is passed down in the Hyūga main house, but it is theoretically possible to figure it out on one's own if one is talented and insightful enough to do so (Hyūga Neji being the only known example). In the Anime Neji has developed an enhancement, Hakke Hyaku Nijūha shō ("Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms"), which essentially means a doubled attack speed and doubled capability.

Hakke Hyaku Nijuhachi Sho (Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms)

Name: Hakke Hyaku Nijūhachi Shō, 八卦百二十八掌, Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms (a.k.a. "Divination Field: or Divine One Hundred-Twenty Eight Strikes")

Type: Unknown, probably: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Hyūga Neji

Hakke Hyaku Nijūhachi Shō is an advancement of the Hakke Rokujūyon Shō (Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms). Hakke Hyuka Nijūhachi Shō is first used by Hyūga Neji to protect himself from the Amagumo (Rain of Spiders) released from Kidōmaru's Spider Summoning. Assumably, this technique would strike each of the special 64 Tenketsu (chakra holes) twice when directed at a single, humanoid opponent, an even more devastating blow than the Sixty-Four Palms. The attacks in this technique are clearly executed at a much higher speed than the Sixty-Four Palms, making it even more dangerous. Upon witnessing this technique Kidōmaru notes that "If I take a direct hit from that [the One Hundred Twenty Eight Palms], I'm finished."

Hakke Hyaku Nijūhachi Shō is a jutsu used only in the Naruto anime, therefore it's generally not seen as canon.

Hakkesho Kaiten (Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin)

Name: Hakkeshō Kaiten, 八卦掌回天, literally "Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin" (a.k.a. "Divine Whirl" or "Divine Spin")

Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Hyūga Neji, Hyūga Hiashi

A very advanced Taijutsu passed down in the Hyūga main house, it uses a solid amount of chakra expelled from the whole body- as opposed to imprecise bursts from only specific parts of the body, which is the most even your typical Jōnin can manage- to stop any attack in its tracks, then push it back with equal force, making it a very efficient defense and also making it possible to use it as an offense. Despite it being a secret jutsu passed only in the Hyūga main house, Hyūga Neji of the Branch house mastered it without any training or information of the technique from the Main house, but rather discovered the technique himself and trained with his teammate Tenten, a weapons specialist, to perfect it, which is a sure testimony to his genius.

Hien (Flying Swallow)

Name: Hien, 飛燕, literally "Flying Swallow"

Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Sarutobi Asuma

Juken (Gentle Fist)

Name: Jūken, 柔拳, literally "Gentle Fist"

Type: Unknown, probably: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Hyūga Neji, Hyūga Hinata, Hyūga Hiashi

The inner coil system that transfers chakra around the body is very close and is essentially a part of all of the human body, including crucial organs. Members of the Hyūga clan train in a special fighting style that requires the Byakugan and excellent chakra control; through the Byakugan they are able to see the opponent's inner coil system which they forcefully channel their own chakra into, causing severe damage to organs nearby. The technique earned its name because even a seemingly gentle, unimpressive hit can prove lethal.

Kage Buyo (Shadow of the Dancing Leaf)

Name: Kage Buyō, 影舞葉, Literally "Shadow of the Dancing Leaf", Viz "Shadow of the Dancing Leaf" (a.k.a. "Shadow Leaf Dance")

Type: C-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Rock Lee, Uchiha Sasuke

While the target is airborne, the user jumps in such a way as to appear below the target while following a similar trajectory through the air. Since the victim is airborne, he is in a vulnerable position to a more damaging attack such as Omote Renge or Shishi Rendan.

Karamatsu no Mai (Dance of the Larch)

Name: Karamatsu no Mai, 唐松の舞, literally "Dance of the Larch" (a.k.a. "Dance of the Pines")

Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Kimimaro

When used, razor-sharp bones quickly grow out all over the user's body. Not only does this surprise opponents and make it difficult for them to fight in melee range, but the user's body becomes a deadly weapon.

Konoha Daisenpu (Leaf Great Whirlwind)

Name: Konoha Daisenpū, 木ノ葉大旋風, literally "Leaf Great Whirlwind"

Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Rock Lee

Using his quickness and agility, Lee moves low to the ground and spinning kick to sweep his opponent off their feet.

Konoha Senpu (Konoha Hurricane)

Name: Konoha Senpū, 木ノ葉旋風, literally "Leaf Whirlwind", Viz "Konoha Hurricane", (a.k.a. "Konoha Whirlwind")

Type: D-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Rock Lee

This Jutsu is mainly a set-up one, and consists of kicking the opponent high into the air, thus leaving them vulnerable to a subsequent more powerful attack (usually Kage Buyō, Shadow of the Dancing Leaf).

Konoha Shofu (Leaf Rising Wind)

Name: Konoha Shōfū, 木ノ葉昇風, literally "Leaf Rising Wind"

Type: Unknown, probably: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Rock Lee

Nikudan Hari Sensha (Spiked Human Bullet Tank)

Name: Nikudan Hari Sensha, 肉弾針戦車, literally "Spiked Human Bullet Tank" (a.k.a. "Spiked Meat Tank")

Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)

Users: Akimichi Chōji

Basically the same as the Nikudan Sensha, but before beginning the roll, Chōji wraps himself in kunai tied to strings.

Nikudan Sensha (Human Juggernaut)

Name: Nikudan Sensha, 肉弾戦車, literally "Human Bullet Tank" Viz "Human Juggernaut" (a.k.a. Meat Tank)

Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)

Users: Akimichi Chōji

Human Juggernaut is a jutsu passed down in the Akimichi clan. The Baika no Jutsu (Art of Expansion) is typically performed beforehand. This jutsu sends the user into a powerful roll, turning them into a ball of destruction—but uses a high amount of food energy.

Omote Renge (Front Lotus)

Name: Omote Renge, 表蓮華, literally "Front Lotus" (a.k.a. "Primary Lotus" or "Initial Lotus")

Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Rock Lee

This technique puts a lot of strain on the user's muscle fibers, and is basically a suicidal attack. Normally, humans use the power of their muscles at only about 20 percent of its full power; the brain regulates muscle usage to ensure this, since any higher and the muscles will be damaged or destroyed. The Omote Renge requires the opening of one of the inner celestial gates- the Initial Gate, which releases the brain's regulation on muscle usage. The result is a much more powerful brand of Taijutsu than normal, but at the cost of damage to the user.

Rakanken (Achiever of Nirvana Fist)

Name: Rakanken, 羅漢拳, literally "Achiever of Nirvana Fist"

Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Jirōbō

Sennen Goroshi (One Thousand Years of Death)

Name: Konohagakure Hiden: Taijutsu no Ōgi: Sennen Goroshi, 木ノ葉聡れ秘伝・体術の奥義・千年殺し, literally "Hidden Leaf Secret: Taijutsu Supreme Technique: A Thousand Years of Death" (a.k.a. "Sennen Gurushi, 千年苦し, Thousand Years of Pain" or "Hidden Leaf Ancient Taijutsu Supreme Technique: A Thousand Years of Death")

Type: E-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Hatake Kakashi, Uzumaki Naruto

A very simple Taijutsu technique with a very over-dramatised name. Forcefully plunges the user's fingers into the vicinity of the victim's rectal regions. Sakura dubbed it the "Super Powerful Ass-Poke". However, Naruto figured out the true meaning of the Taijutsu: it was mainly used with a pointed object (usually a kunai), in order to attack the blindspot of the enemy. When combined with explosive seals, it can even damage Gaara in his semi transformed mode.

The Naruto manga lists the technique as 千年殺し (Sennen Goroshi), as does the manual for Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 2 (and ostensibly the first, as well), a Gamecube title which saw release only in Japan. This wording means "The Kill of a Thousand Years" instead of "1,000 Years of Pain". It could be construed that the original fansubbers, when translating the fourth episode of Naruto (the first appearance of the jutsu) heard the name as "Sennen Gurushi, 千年苦し", which does mean something along the lines of "1,000 Years of Pain". Both names are provided for reference. see also: Kancho

Shishi Rendan (Lion Combo)

Name: Shishi Rendan, 獅子連弾, literally "Lion Combo"

Type: C-rank, Offensive, Close range (0-5m)

Users: Uchiha Sasuke

The result of Uchiha Sasuke copying Rock Lee's similar combo. While not able to completely emulate Rock Lee's agility and power, the Sharingan allowed him to gain the ability to push himself to achieve a similar effect, and the result was a copied Kage Buyo followed by a series of kicks to the falling target. It isn't devastating as Lee's Lotus techniques, but also isn't nearly as dangerous to perform, and is quite effective against most targets.

Shugohakke Rokujuyon Sho (Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms)

Name: Shugohakke Rokujūyon Shō, 守護八卦六十四掌, literally "Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms"

Type: Unknown, probably: kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)

Users: Hyūga Hinata

An Animé invention which does not appear in the manga, Hinata has developed and honed this unique variation on the traditional "Hakke" jutsu by training with bodies of water and testing it against the attacks of her teammates. The user can emit constant beams of chakra from their hands or shoot short streams, and hit even a large amount of very small targets with extremely high speed and precision, akin to Hakke Rokujūyon Shō (but obviously with longer range). With enough skill at destroying incoming threats, or alternatively sufficient power, speed and flexibility put into a large amount of arc-shaped beams, it is also possible to create an "absolute defense" effect similar to that of Hakkeshō Kaiten. Many fans have dubbed it simply the "chakra laser" (as the beams can apparently cut through iron - while training her technique, Hinata uses them to tear apart kunais).

Suiken (Drunken Fist)

Name: Suiken, 酔拳, literally "Drunken Fist"

Type: C-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Rock Lee

The Drunken Fist (Suiken) is an unusual style of taijutsu combat where the user takes in enough alcohol to become intoxicated (hence the name), causing them to become unpredictable and highly dangerous. Suiken is not a fighting style that one can learn or train in, nor is it a bloodline limit, but more of a natural talent that one is born with.

Tarenken (Multiple Connecting Punches)

Name: Tarenken, 多連拳, literally "Multiple Connecting Punches"

Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Sakon, Ukon

Tessenka no Mai: Tsuru (Dance of the Clematis: Vine)

Name: Tessenka no Mai: Tsuru, 鉄線花の舞・蔓, literally "Dance of the Clematis: Vine"

Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Kimimaro

Kimimaro pulls out his own spine to use as a weapon. For this attack, the length of bone becomes a spiked whip-chain weapon, which wraps around the target and holds them in place.

Tsubaki no Mai (Dance of the Camellia)

Name: Tsubaki no Mai, 椿の舞, literally "Dance of the Camellia"

Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Kimimaro

Performed when a member of the Kaguya clan pulls out a bone from his arm and uses it as a sword. The quick movements of the blade and slicing technique make this a formidable dance. It can make short work of an large number of people quickly.

Tsutenkyaku (Painful Sky Leg)

Name: Tsūtenkyaku, 痛天脚, literally "Painful Sky Leg"

Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Tsunade

Ura Renge (Reverse Lotus)

Name: Ura Renge, 裏蓮華, literally "Reverse Lotus" (a.k.a. "Extreme Lotus")

Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Rock Lee

This advanced, more destructive version of the Renge requires the opening of at least the Third Gate (Life Gate), with a correspondingly higher cost to the user. Once the third gate is open, the user can then use Ura Renge by launching the target into the air and hiting them with one arm and foot, sending the target crashing into the ground, typically killing them. When Rock Lee used this move, he also opened the Fourth and Fifth Gates to grant him extra strength and speed, however, this is not required to perform Ura Renge.

Yanagi no Mai (Dance of the Willow)

Name: Yanagi no Mai, 柳の舞, literally "Dance of the Willow"

Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Kimimaro

To perform this dance the Kaguya clan member has long bones come out from the palms of his hands to be used as stabbing swords. The blades are fairly long and are very strong. The clan can use both of these bone hand blades to stab, slice or impale their opponent. With quick movements and jabs this is a formidable dance.

Ninjutsu (Ninja Techniques)

Ninjutsu (忍術, "Ninja Techniques") is hard to define; it is basically any technique that does not fall under either Taijutsu or Genjutsu, which means that it uses sources outside those naturally available to the body or the mind to accomplish its task. Ninjutsu relies on chakra and, most of the times, hand seals (印, In) (Sequential positions the hands are put into in order to mold chakra in the necessary manner to perform a jutsu). See also real-world Ninjutsu, a general term for all subjects taught to ninja.

Type: Kekkei Genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

The jet-black flames are said to be as hot as the Sun, and the first time touching them will be your last. It is said that the fire from this jutsu will burn for seven days and seven nights. Since the Mangekyō Sharingan is necessary to activate this jutsu, not many have learned it and therefore details of this jutsu are yet unrevealed.

Itachi uses Amaterasu to break through Jiraiya's Gamaguchi Shibari.

Baika no Jutsu (The Art of Expansion)

Name: Bunshin no Jutsu, 分身の術, literally "Clone Technique", Viz "Art of the Doppelganger", English TV "Clone Jutsu"

Type: E-rank, Supplementary

Users: Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, etc.

This is a basic technique known to all genin. Bunshin no Jutsu creates a clone of the user, which can used to create a diversion or cause confusion. Unlike Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Art of the Shadow Doppelganger), these clones aren't real, and thus cannot do any damage.

Chidori (One Thousand Birds)

Name: Chidori, 千鳥, literally "One Thousand Birds" (see also "Raikiri")

Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Uchiha Sasuke, Hatake Kakashi

A very powerful technique that requires a huge amount of chakra, which becomes visible around the user's hand. Once the hand has been charged, it is then thrust straight through the target. Due to the direct and obvious path the user of the technique must take to achieve an effective strike, a user of Chidori is left highly vulnerable to counterattacks and dodges. The technique can only be safely attempted by a ninja with the Sharingan or a similar countermeasure to defenses and attacks. Chidori is said to be one of the few original techniques of Hatake Kakashi, who is also one of only two known users, the other being Uchiha Sasuke. Uchiha Itachi is theoretically also capable of performing the Chidori, as he was watching Uchiha Sasuke with his Sharingan activated when Sasuke failed to kill him with the technique.

Although it produces a distinctive sound and is by no means stealthy, Chidori has nonetheless been classified as a possible assassination technique due to the incredible speed it requires and the devastating effect of a successful execution.

The name Chidori comes from the sound the technique makes, which is said to remind the listener of the chirping produced by a thousand birds. Because of the high amount of chakra it requires, a ninja can only use Chidori a certain number of times per day.

Name: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, 影分身の術, literally "Shadow Clone Technique" Viz "Art of the Shadow Doppelganger"

Type: B-rank, Supplementary

Users: Uzumaki Naruto, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Itachi, Ebisu etc.

Unlike the normal Bunshin no Jutsu (Art of the Doppelganger), this jutsu creates not just an illusion, but real bodies of the ninja. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among the user and every clone. This could be very dangerous if the user is low on chakra or makes many clones (like with Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Multiple Shadow Clone Technique), making this technique forbidden), something Naruto doesn't have to worry about, since his chakra supply is nigh on unlimited thanks to the Kyūbi. Kage Bunshin can't be detected by either the Byakugan (Hyūga Neji states this during his fight with Naruto during the third Chūnin exam) or Sharingan. This is because the clones are real bodies with real chakra systems, identical to the user. Because the clones are real they can do real damage and can take some damage themself, being even able to bleed, although they'll still disappear when enough damage has been done, which is usually after one hit.

Type: No rank, Hiden, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)

Users: Nara Shikamaru, Nara Shikaku

The user's shadow is extended to the opponent's shadow, combining them. This puts the attacker in control of the target's movements- the target is forced to make any movement the user makes. It is an extremely versatile technique. Given enough talent, the shadow can contract and change shape, and even get ahold of several targets at once. The shadow can also be connected with the shadows of other objects to extend its range. Shikamaru can only hold the jutsu for about 5 minutes.

Kagemane no Jutsu used to be called Kage Shibari no Jutsu. The name also suggests that in the past, the technique could only hold targets in place and not force them to copy the user's movements.

Name: Kugutsu no Jutsu, 傀儡の術, literally "Puppet Technique"

Type: C-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary, Close to mid-range (0-10m)

Users: Kankurō, Sasori, Chiyo, Monzaemon

Just like a marionette, the user controls a puppet using strings of chakra from his fingers. This skill is often used in co-ordination with Kawarimi no Jutsu (Change of Body Technique), so the user can quickly replace their body with the puppet. Another useful quality of this skill is the fact that the puppet can take the form of another person, object, or, more commonly, the form of the user. Puppets are fitted with various hidden devices, most commonly extendable blades, various projectile launchers, and poison, both in gaseous form and liquid coating their weapons. This technique can also be adapted to control humans as if they were puppets, or another puppeteer's puppets.

The first person to use this jutsu was called Monzaemon. The ten puppets which are called his masterpieces are used in the jutsu Shiro Higi: Jikki Chikamatsu no Shū (White Secret Technique: Ten Puppet Group of Chikamatsu).

Although puppets are usually made out of wood, Sasori made most of his puppets out of the remains of his opponents. Sasori is also the only person able to create Hitokugutsu (人傀儡, "Person Puppet" or "Human Puppet"). A Hitokugutsu is created out of a still living person, and thus is still able to use chakra. Sasori even made himself into a Hitokugutsu.

• Sasori, サソリ. Sasori's own body, made into a Hitokugutsu.
• The ten puppets of Monzaemon. Used by Chiyo (and very likely Monzaemon).
• Sasori's hundred puppets. Hitokugutsu created by Sasori out of his defeated victims.

Type: S-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Hatake Kakashi

Lightning Blade is a technique developed by Hatake Kakashi that allows him to cut through any foe. It is essentially the same attack as Chidori; in fact, Chidori is the "true" name of the attack, it was given the nickname "Raikiri" or "Lightning Blade" after Kakashi used the technique to cut a lightning bolt in two. However, Lightning Blade is used in respect to Kakashi and given the designation S-rank whereas Sasuke's Chidori is an A-rank since Kakashi's attack is more powerful than Sasuke's. Lightning Blade is used for assassination purposes. Activating the body to focus chakra to the hand, Kakashi's hand becomes enveloped by an electrical looking force. After concentrating all the chakra into his arm, Kakashi uses his quickness and the power of the thrust from the chakra to pierce any object with his extended forearm. Due to the high speed at which Kakashi moves, the force emits a sound like a thousand birds chirping, which is where Chidori originally got its name. Because of the great amount of chakra needed to utilize the technique, Kakashi can only use it four times in one day.

Users: Uzumaki Naruto, Jiraiya, Yondaime Hokage

A Ninjutsu technique incorporating the chakra control needed for both the tree climbing training and water walking training.

The Rasengan is a very high-level technique that took the Yondaime Hokage three years to perfect. Unlike the Chidori, the Rasengan does not "cut" per se. It "grinds" rather, literally creating a hurricane of chakra. It does have a drawback, however, the Rasengan needs great chakra control. It is a self-sustaining technique so once the chakra is molded, the user doesn't need any more chakra. It requires no hand seals and can be used with one (definite) or both hands (in theory). Before the timeskip, when Naruto uses this technique, he typically uses a clone to generate the swirl while the main body holds the chakra in his hand. Afterward, Naruto was shown to be able to execute a Rasengan easily using one hand.

A powerful attack that creates a huge current of water in the shape of a dragon, which is sent towards the opponent. Except when used by extremely powerful ninja, this jutsu can only be done when in or near a body of water. Hatake Kakashi copies this technique from Momochi Zabuza with Sharingan and uses it to defend against Zabuza's, and again to defend against Hoshigaki Kisame when he and Uchiha Itachi were travelling through Konoha.

Type: No rank, Supplementary

Users: Gaara

Creates a clone of the user from sand. When it is attacked, it does not disappear like with other clone techniques. This makes it one of the most powerful and advanced types of the Bunshin. However, it is useless as a decoy because it takes on the appearance and color of sand.

Users: Gaara

Regardless of his own will, this jutsu automatically surrounds and protects Gaara from incoming attacks.

Type: No rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Gaara

This jutsu uses chakra to cover the user with a thin, but dense, layer of protective sand. While a good defense, it puts an unignorable burden on the user's stamina, both through chakra absorption and the fact that the sand makes them heavier and hampers their movement.

Suna Shigure (Sand Drizzle)

Name: Suna Shigure, 砂時雨, literally "Sand Drizzle" (a.k.a. "Sand Rain")

Type: No rank, Offensive, All ranges

Type: No rank, Offensive, All ranges

Fuin Jutsu (Sealing Techniques)

Fūin jutsu (封印術, "Sealing techniques") - the "seal" here may refer to marks upon the body rather than "sealing" something, although the latter is often still the case.

Type: A-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Sandaime Hokage, Yondaime Hokage

First used by the Yondaime to seal the Kyūbi inside an infant Uzumaki Naruto. The Sandaime also attempted to use this technique against Orochimaru. This technique, when performed properly, ends the lives of both the target and the user.

Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limits)

Kekkei Genkai (瞳術, "Bloodline Limits") are abilities passed down genetically in specific clans. Most clans have developed special jutsu related to their Kekkei genkai (Like the Hyūga's Hakkeshō Kaiten or the Kaguya's Sawarabi no Mai). Kekkei genkai and their related jutsu can't be copied by the Sharingan. Kekkei genkai abilities that work via the user's eye are called Dōjutsu (瞳術, "Pupil Techniques"). See also: Naruto kekkei genkai

Byakugan (Evil Eye)

Name: Byakugan, 白眼, literally "White Eye", Viz "Evil Eye"

Type: Dōjutsu, No Rank, Supplementary, All ranges

Users: Hyūga Hinata, Hyūga Neji, Hyūga Hiashi, Hyūga Hanabi, Hyūga Hizashi

The power and effectiveness of the Byakugan varies from person to person, but in the most advanced cases (such as that of Hyūga Neji), a Byakugan user has 360 degree a field of vision, with the exeption of a small blind spot beneath the user's first thoracic vertebrae, and can even see the minuscule chakra pressure points (tenketsu, 点穴). It also has telescope and X-ray vision. The Byakugan is the key to Konohagakure's strongest Taijutsu, the Jūken, as it allows the user to see the chakra circulatory system of an opponent.

Makyo Hyosho (Demonic Mirror Ice Crystals)

Name: Makyō Hyōshō, 魔鏡氷晶, literally "Demonic Mirror Ice Crystals" (a.k.a. "Demonic Ice Mirrors"), Viz "Secret Art of Water Ice Crystal Magic Mirror Technique"

Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)

Users: Haku

This jutsu uses water to create mirrors surrounding the opponent. These mirrors are as hard as steel, and almost impossible to break through or melt. The jutsu user can travel almost instantaneously through these mirrors, making it almost impossible to defend from his attacks or to attack him.

Haku's Makyō Hyōshō had never been defeated before his fight with Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, when Naruto used the Kyūbi's chakra to break through the mirrors.

Mangekyō Sharingan (Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye)

Name: Mangekyō Sharingan, 万華鏡写輪眼, literally "Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye"

Type: Dōjutsu, No rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Uchiha Itachi, Hatake Kakashi

An advanced and more powerful form of the Sharingan. It allows the user to use the jutsu Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and one other as of now unnamed jutsu, possibly called Susanoo (Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo are siblings in Japanese mythology, being the deities of the sun, the moon, and storms, respectively.) Such powerful jutsu comes with a price, however. Each usage of the Mangekyō progressively weakens and destroys the vision.

In manga chapter 276, Kakashi reveals that he has also developed the Mangekyō, and uses a technique (possibly the Susanoo) to destroy Deidara's right arm. Thus, there are two known living users of the Mangekyō Sharingan, Uchiha Itachi and Hatake Kakashi. It is unknown if Kakashi was the other Mangekyō user Itachi was referring to when talking to Sasuke after he murdered their family. Considering Itachi's look of shock when Kakashi asks about his degrading vision, it is unlikely to be the case. Kakashi's Mangekyō appears slightly different from Itachi's, an observation with currently unknown significance.

According to Itachi, Uchiha Sasuke should be able to unlock the Mangekyō, making him the third Mangekyō user in history.

Sharingan (Copy Wheel Eye)

Name: Sharingan, 写輪眼, literally "Copy Wheel Eye"

Type: Dōjutsu, No rank, Supplementary, All ranges

Users: Uchiha Sasuke, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Fugaku

The Uchiha clan's Sharingan is an evolution from the Byakugan (Evil Eye) of the Hyūga Kekkei genkai.

It can be used to see through an opponent's jutsu as well as copy it, although it cannot copy Kekkei genkai jutsu. It stands to reason that the Sharingan is also incapable of copying any jutsu that has special requirements, e.g. Kuchiyose no Jutsu requiring a contract with a Summon. There is also some doubt about whether or not the Sharingan is capable of copying jutsu that don't require hand seals, like the Rasengan.

The natural enemy of a Sharingan user is a Taijutsu user, because , although the Sharingan can copy and follow Taijutsu, the Sharingan user also needs the strength and speed of the Taijutsu user to use the copied jutsu or counter it effectively.

Hatake Kakashi has an additional weakness. Because his Sharingan was transplanted from Uchiha Obito he doesn't have Uchiha blood himself. This makes using his Sharingan very inefficient and exhausting.

Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse)

Name: Shikotsumyaku, 屍骨脈, literally "Dead Bone Pulse"

Type: No rank, Supplementary

Users: Kimimaro

The users of this bloodline limit can manipulate their bones in terms of structure, shape and hardness. They often protrude bones from their bodies as a form of attack, and in extreme cases can pull out bones from their bodies to wield as weapons.
