Naruto Jutsus
A Jutsu In the
anime/manga
Naruto ("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 (Naruto: "What? How did you get loose?!"
Sasuke: "Rope Untying no Jutsu. It's basic stuff.")
Jutsus 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 jutsus at all.
Generally speaking, Jutsus are divided into three
categories:
Taijutsu (Body Techniques),
Genjutsu (Mind Techniques) and
Ninjutsu (Techniques that rely on sources beyond those). There is
technically another category called Kinjutsu (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.
Genjutsu
Genjutsu
("Eye techniques", or more figuratively Mind Techniques) are techniques that
rely on chakra-enhanced deception or manipulation of another person's mind.
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.
Bunshin no Jutsu
("Clone
Technique") The Bunshin no Jutsu creates
illusory duplicates of the user. It is impossible to tell which is the
real ninja and which are illusions; clones generated by this technique,
however, cannot attack anything as they are not physical beings.
The Bunshin
no Jutsu is one of the most basic ninja techniques and mastering it is
required in order for one to graduate from
Leaf Village's academy, and presumably any academy, and become a
Genin.
Cancel
This jutsu
utilises chakra and the user's
willpower to overcome other
Genjutsu. It seems that only
Jounin-level ninjas and up are able to use it effectively.
Henge no Jutsu
("Transformation Technique") A very common and basic skill, it gives the
user the appearance of another person or object. Mastering it is required to
graduate from the ninja academy of
Leaf Village (And presumably all other academies).
Harem no Jutsu
("Harem
Technique") developed by
Uzumaki Naruto. Both
Ninjutsu and
Genjutsu, this jutsu combines
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and
Sexy no Jutsu to create a legion of beautiful naked women lavishing
attention on the victim, often causing male victims nosebleeds so severe
that they are knocked out (due to a combination of
Newton's
third law of motion and
cartoon logic), not to mention
severe shell-shock. This jutsu is yet to be defeated.
Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu
("Mist Clone
Technique") The Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu creates illusory clones of the user
from mist. Those clones are indistinguishable from the original, but cannot
attack and disappear when hit.
Sexy no Jutsu
("Sexy
Technique") A derivative of
Henge no Jutsu developed by
Uzumaki Naruto. The user assumes the appearance of a beautiful naked
woman, often causing male victims nosebleeds so severe that they are knocked
out (due to a combination of
Newton's
third law of motion and
cartoon logic). This technique has
defeated the
Leaf Village's
3rd Hokage.
Sharingan (Hypnosis)
("Copy Wheel
Eye - Hypnosis") Available only to those who possess the
Sharingan, it hypnotises the opponent and lets the user suggest thoughts
and actions to them. The user often follows a successful hypnosis with
constant mimicry of the opponent's movements and speaking out their thoughts
in perfect synch, which they are able to do since they are the ones
suggesting those movements and thoughts in the first place; this greatly
bewilders the opponent and makes it appear as if the user can see the
future.
Taijutsu
Taijutsu
("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 any
chakra available compared to a
Genjutsu or
Ninjutsu user.
Baika no Jutsu
("Multi-Size
Technique") A special technique passed down in the Akimichi Clan which
allows the user to increase the size of one part or even all of their body
for a short time. It uses up lots of calories.
Byakuugan (Mind Read)
("White Eye
(Mind Read)"). Those who possess the
Byakuugan are able to notice the subtle shifts of people's eyeballs and
pupils and use them to get the general idea of the emotions and thoughts
they are experiencing.
Byakuugan
(Enhanced Vision)
("White Eye
(Enhanced Vision)"). Those who possess the
Byakuugan have an improved line of sight, a 360 degrees field of vision
and the ability to see the inner coil system that transports chakra through
the body. In advanced cases they can also see the opening points, which in
theory gives them the ability to shut down an opponent's chakra flow
completely.
Chakra Kyuushuu
("Energy
Absorption") see
Naruto advanced bloodlines.
Gatsuuga
("Piercing
Fang") The user, usually with at least one partner (which makes this
technique much more effective), spins at a ferocious speed and delivers many
powerful beastlike attacks when contact is made with the target.
Hidden Leaf Ancient Taijutsu Supreme Technique: A Thousand Years of Pain
A very simple
Taijutsu technique with a very over-dramatised name. Forcefully plunges the
user's finger into the vicinity of the victim's rectal regions.
Sakura dubbed it the "Super Powerful Ass-Poke".
Jyuuken
("Gentle
Fist") 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 Hyuuga clan train in a special fighting style that
requires the
Byakuugan and excellent chakra control; through the Byakuugan 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 Buyou
("Shadow Leaf
Dance") A technique used to attach the user to their opponent's shadow. Once
done, the victim is in a vulnerable position to a more damaging attack such
as
Initial Lotus or
Lion Combo.
Kage Shuriken no Jutsu
("Shadow
Shuriken Technique") This technique consists of throwing two shuriken, one
normally and the other hiding in the first one's shadow. The target focuses
on the first one and is often hit by the second.
Konoha Senpuu
("Leaf
Spinning Wind") 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
Shadow Leaf Dance).
Nikudan Sensha
("Meat Tank")
A jutsu passed down in the Akimichi clan. The
Multi-Size Technique 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 calories.
Omote Renge
("Initial
Lotus") 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 initial lotus 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.
Sharingan (Copy)
("Copy Wheel
Eye - Copy") Available only to those who possess the
Sharingan and its most famous ability, the user's natural "watch and
learn" ability is boosted to inhumane accuracy, enabling them to see,
imitate, register and memorise any movement almost perfectly. This enables
Sharingan users to use any technique they have watched with the Sharingan
later, given that they have all the required parameters to perform the jutsu
(such as chakra control, physical fitness or an
advanced bloodline); the sharingan isn't a magic shortcut around
anything but the process of learning.
Shishi Rendan
("Lion
Combo") The result of
Uchiha Sasuke copying
Rock Lee's similar combo. While not able to emulate Rock Lee's agility
or power, the Sharingan let him figure how to push himself to achieve the
closest thing possible, and this was the result. It isn't as fast or
effective as Rock Lee's version and imposes fatigue upon Sasuke, but is
still very powerful.
Ura Renge
("Extreme
Lotus") 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. This Jutsu releases the brain's regulation, much like
the
Initial Lotus, but goes beyond it in power, speed, and self damage. The
user opens three of the body's inner celestial gates: First the Initial Gate
to release the brain's limits, followed by opening the Heal Gate to raise
their stamina and finally the life gate, which enables entering the extreme
lotus. The result is Taijutsu of a force and speed that are incredibly
powerful and far beyond the scope of any other Taijutsu, but at the cost of
terrible damage to and usually ripping of the user's muscles.
Uzumaki Naruto Rendan
("Uzumaki
Naruto Combo"). Naruto does not possess the
Sharingan, but he can still watch and learn, and that is what he did in
this case. The lack of Sharingan to push him to his limits is compensated
for by usage of the
Shadow Replication Technique, creating multipile shadow clones of the
user participating in the combo.
Ninjutsu
Ninjutsu 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 hand seals (Sequential positions the hands are put into
in order to channel chakra effectively).
Doton Shinjuu
Zanshu no Jutsu
("Earth Type
- Inner Decapitation Technique") The user hides underground and grabs the
legs of their victim, then pulls them under leaving their head above ground
and vulnerable to a more deadly attack.
Fuuja Houin
("Evil
Sealing Method") This Seal negates the effect of
Orochimaru's
Curse Seal, making the effects of it significantly weaker; its main
source of power is the person's self-control, however, so if the person it
has been performed on loses control of their emotions, it becomes all but
ineffectual.
Hyoui no Jutsu
("Possession
Technique") A Jutsu that causes an unborn child to be possessed by a ghost
or spirit. The Mother will not survive the birth of her child - her flesh is
used up as nourishment for the demon.
Jouro Senbon
("Raining
Needles") A barrage of needles fly at the enemy from sockets in an umbrella
that has been flung into the air. They come at the enemy from all directions
and are controlled by chakra to increase accuracy. These needles have been
known to have the power to pierce 5mm of steel.
Juin Jutsu (Hyuuga)
("Curse Seal
(Hyuuga)") A secret Ninjutsu passed on from generation to generation within
the Hyuuga Clan. It is put on members of the Branch House at a very young
age. This Curse Seal is the unavoidable death that the Main House imposes
onto the Branch House. It easily destroys the brain nerves of the person who
suffers from it, kills them and removes all traces of the
Byakuugan.
Juin Jutsu (Orochimaru)
("Curse Seal
(Orochimaru)"). Receiving the small mark which appears on the neck through a
bite from
Orochimaru makes the receiver instantly fall unconscious. Then, if they
are strong enough to survive the 9/10 chance of immediate death, they regain
concsiousness. Whenever the person inflicted releases chakra the Curse Seal
becomes active and forcibly pulls out Chakra, making the person stronger. At
this point the the small mark on the neck grows to wrap around their whole
body, and causes them to lose control of their actions. It's a forbidden
Jutsu which, when active, eats at the person's body.
Juujin Bunshin
("Beast-Human
Clone") In coordination with an animal, the user creates a perfect likeness
of that creature, and vise-versa with the beast assuming the form of the
person. This makes it impossible to tell the two apart until the jutsu is
broken, usually by damaging one of the participants which then reverts to
their original form.
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu
("Shadow
Replication Technique") Unlike
the normal Replication Technique, this jutsu creates not just an
illusion, but multiple real bodies of yourself. The strength of the clones
is evenly distibuted among the user and every clone, making it impossible to
decipher which is the original. Since these are real clones, unlike regular
Bunshin no Jutsu, they can cause damage to a target; however, they will
disappear if hit. This technique is forbidden, but is still known by many
advanced Ninjas.
KageMane no Jutsu
("Shadow
Imitation Technique") 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 other inanimate objects so it can be
extended. The Jutsu does have a time limit, however, which is roughly 5
minutes.
Kamaitachi no Jutsu
("Slashing
Wind Technique") A Jutsu that, using a giant fan, causes huge gusts of wind
capable of cutting the target apart.
Kanashibari no Jutsu
("Body Freeze
Technique") Used to cause one's opponent to lose the advantage of
movement. Freezing them in their tracks, this Jutsu creates an opening
for a more dangerous attack. Most Anbu Ninjas seem to know this technique.
Katon Goukakyuu no
Jutsu
("Fire Type -
Empowered Fireball Skill") Utilising a high amount of chakra, the user
breathes a huge and intense ball of flame. A devastating attack.
Katon Housenka
("Fire Type -
Mythical Fire Flower") Sends multipile balls of flame at the target. It is
also possible to hide shurikens within the fireballs, creating an unexpected
secondary attack.
Katon Karyuu Endan
("Fire Type -
Fire Dragon Flame Blast") Shoots an enormous ball of flame shaped like a
dragon from the user's mouth.
Katon Ryuuka no Jutsu
("Fire Type -
Dragon Fire Skill") The person using this jutsu sends a stream of fire at
the opponent from their mouth.
Kawarimi no Jutsu
("Body
Substitute Technique") The user quickly replaces themselves with another
object, such as a plant or an animal. This usually confuses the attacker and
leaves them open to a counter-attack. A fairly common Jutsu, it is one of
the basic Jutsu a Ninja must learn before graduating to the
Genin level.
Kaze no Yaiba
("Blade of
Wind") This Jutsu creates a blade out of
wind which, being wind, makes it impossible to block. However, unlike
the the
Slashing Winds skill, this Jutsu requires no tool.
Kikaichuu no Jutsu
("Bug Host
Technique") The Aburame Clan is famed for their use of
bugs in their Jutsu. When a child is born, their body is offered to
insects, called Destruction Bugs, as a nest. The bugs feed and live off the
Chakra which the body stores and in return the Ninja gets to control and
command the bugs, using them as their primary fighting technique.
Kirigakure no Jutsu
("Hidden Mist
Technique") A simple yet very effective technique. Covers the area of your
opponents with a thick sheet of mist, crippling their senses and creating an
opening for a more powerful attack.
Kuchiyose no Jutsu
("Summoning
Technique") This Jutsu, using a contract, Seal, and the user's blood, binds
an animal to the user. The type of animal is determined by the contract and
Seal preformed. The blood is used as a signiture to make the contract, which
can be written on a scroll or tattoo, valid. Once binded, the animal can be
summoned to perform a task or help the user in battle.
Kugutsu no Jutsu
("Marionette
Technique") The user controls a doll using their chakra. Just like a
marionette, Chakra extends from the user's fingers to move the puppet
which can be small, life size or even bigger. This skill is often used in
co-ordination with the
Body Substitute 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.
Makyou HyouShou
HiJutsu
("Demonic Ice
Mirrors Secret Technique") Using the powers bestowed by the advanced
bloodline of
Transportation by Ice, the user creates a prison of Ice Mirrors from
water and surrounds their enemy with them. This Jutsu allows the mirror's
reflection to transport the user at extremely high speeds. Almost unsee-able
to the opponent inside, the user can attack without danger of being harmed.
The high speed of the user makes it almost impossible to dodge any oncoming
attacks.
Mikazuki no Mai
("Dance of
the Crescent Moon") creates a clone of the user similar to a
shadow clone, which along with the user attacks in a complicated
sword-dancing pattern which confuses the opponent.
Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu
("Water
Replication Technique") Creates one or multiple identical copies of the user
out of water. More similar to
Shadow Clone than to a
Normal Clone, Water Clones are capable of attacking, except each Clone's
strength is only one tenth of the power of the original. Also, the clone can
only be controlled within a certain radius of the user.
Raikiri
("Lightning
Edge") a very powerful technique, it needs a huge amount of Chakra, so much
that it is visible around the user's hand. Once the hand has been charged
with a sufficient amount of chakra, it can be plunged into the enemy quickly
and powerfully, creating a single, devastating fist which is usually aimed
at the heart, where it would do the most damage. It is said that
Kakashi once used this Jutsu to cut though
lightning- hence its name. The lightning edge is closely related to
The Thousand Birds.
Sabaku Kyuu
("Desert
Coffin") This Jutsu uses sand to grab the opponent and cover their entire
body. This skill is primarily for rendering an opponent immobile, but can
kill the opponent by suffocation or by being followed with the
Desert Funeral technique.
Sabaku SouSou
("Desert
Funeral") Through the will of the user, the sand already wrapping a target
will implode and crush whatever is within. When used to kill a person, the
death is so quick there isn't even time to feel pain.
Shikon no Jutsu
("Dead Soul
Skill") With this Jutsu the user can make the dead seem lifelike, allowing
dead bodies to move around as a diversion or decoy. This skill causes the
dead bodies' hearts to beat, allowing the user to control them for a few
minutes.
Shintenshin no Jutsu
("Mind-Body
Switch Technique") This Jutsu allows the user to enter a target's mind,
taking control of their body and senses. Normally a spying Jutsu, it can
also be used in battle although with many drawbacks. The spiritual energy
travels very slowly making it easy to dodge; If this happens, the user's
body will be left as an empty vessel for a few minutes, leaving it wide open
to attack- and even if the Jutsu does work, any damage that is caused to the
target will also be inflicted upon the user's original body. This Jutsu can
only be maintained for about five minutes before the user is forced to
retract their spiritual energy back to their original body.
Shishou Fuuin
(Four Season
Seal) The seal that was used to trap the Nine-tails demon fox inside
Naruto.
Sensatsu Suishou
Hijutsu
(Flying Water
Needles secret technique) An application of the
Transportation by Ice advanced bloodlines that doesn't take advantage of
the transportation capabilities of the ice created, but is lethal
nontheless. This jutsu freezes water into the shape of sharp needles, which
then home in on the opponent, crushing them in a sphere of points and
ripping their body to shreds. To perform this Jutsu, the user must be near a
body of water.
Souja Sousai no Jutsu
("Double
Snake Assassination Skill") A forbidden jutsu which is a murder-suicide
attack- killing both the user and the target.
Suirou no Jutsu
("Water
Prison Technique") A move used to trap the victim inside a virtually
inescapable prison of water. The only downside to this technique is that the
user must keep one arm inside the bubble at all times in order for the
victim to remain imprisoned. This Jutsu cannot be performed without a
sufficiently large body of water to supply the water for it.
Suiton Daibakufu no
Jutsu
("Water Type
- Explosion Skill") A Jutsu which creats a huge cyclone turned on its side,
which is sent towards the target. This Jutsu can only be done when in or
near a body of water, and is devastatingly powerful. It can easily rip tree
roots from the Earth and suck large debres into itself. Weapons can also be
hidden inside the cyclone for a secondary attack.
Suiton Suiryuudan
no Jutsu
("Water Type
- Water Dragon Blast Skill") 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 ninjas, this Jutsu can only be done
when in or near a body of water.
Suna no Tate
("Sand
Shield") Regardless of their own will, this jutsu automatically surrounds
and protects the body and surounding area of the person it was performed on.
Capable of withstanding considerably strong attacks and projectiles, this
Sand Shield is stronger than steel. Though one (and perhaps the only) way it
can be defeated is with extremely high speed attacks, all other attacks are
rendered useless.
Suna no Yoroi
("Armour of
Sand") 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.
Zankuuha
("Air Slicing
Blast") A Jutsu which allows the user to freely control
supersonic sound waves and
air pressure with a device implanted into one or both of their
arms. The blasts are powerful enough to destroy rock.
Zankuukyokuha
("Ultimate
Air Slicing Blast") A Jutsu which allows the user to freely control
supersonic sound waves and
air pressure with a device implanted into one or both of their
arms. The blasts are powerful enough to destroy rock. This version uses
a lot more chakra than
the regular Air Slicing Blast and is more powerful.
