Ninjutsu (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 (Sequential positions the hands are put into in order to mold chakra in the necessary manner to perform a jutsu).

Aka Higi: Hyakki no Soen (Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets)

  • Name: Aka Higi: Hyakki no Souen, literally “Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets”

Amagumo (Rain of Spiders)

  • Name: Amagumo, literally “Rain of Spiders”
  • Type: B-rank, Offensive, All ranges
  • Users: Kidoumaru

After Kidoumaru summons his giant spider, it will release an egg sac full of “baby” spiders. These large spiders will then rain down upon his opponent. The spiders will spin a strand of webbing as they fall, as they circle the opponent the webbing will stick and bind onto the target.

Amaterasu (Shining Heaven)

  • Name: Amaterasu, literally “Shining Heaven”
  • Type: Kekkei Genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
  • Users: Uchiha Itachi

Named after the Shinto sun goddess, this legendary jutsu is unknown outside of the fire-manipulating Uchiha clan. 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 Mangekyou Sharingan is necessary to activate this jutsu, not many have learned it and therefore details of this jutsu are yet unrevealed. Not surprisingly, it appears to use a large amount of chakra. Itachi uses Amaterasu to break through Jiraiya’s Gamaguchi Shibari.

Baika no Jutsu (The Art of Expansion)

  • Name: Baika no Jutsu, literally “Multi Size Technique”, Viz “The Art of Expansion”
  • Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary
  • Users: Akimichi Chouji, Akimichi Chouz

This is a secret jutsu passed down in the Akimichi clan. The jutsu increases the user’s body size, using up the user’s food energy.

  • Name: Bubun Baika no Jutsu, literally “Partial Multi Size Technique”
  • Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary
  • Users: Akimichi Chouji

This is a secret jutsu passed down in the Akimichi clan. Similar to Baika no Jutsu, Bubun Baika increases the user’s body size, using up the user’s calories. However Bubun Baika let’s the user increase only a part of his body (like an arm).

Bunshin Daibakuha (Clone Great Explosion)

  • Name: Bunshin Daibakuha, literally “Clone Great Explosion”
  • Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
  • Users: Uchiha Itachi

This jutsu works in combination with the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Replication Technique), and basically creates a Shadow Replication that will also explode on command, potentially killing or injuring those caught in the blast.

Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Jutsu)

  • Name: Bunshin no Jutsu, 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.

Chakura Kyuin Jutsu (Chakra Absorption Technique)

  • Name: Chakura Kyuin Jutsu, literally “Chakra Absorption Technique”,
  • Type: Unknown, probably: Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
  • Users: Akadou Yoroi

The user drains the opponent’s Chakra by touching the opponent with their hands.

Chidori (One Thousand Birds)

  • Name: Chidori, 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.

Type: B-rank, Supplementary

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu)

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 Taju 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 very high thanks to the Kyubi. Kage Bunshin can’t be detected by Byakugan (Hyuga Neji states this during his fight with Naruto during the third Chunin exam). This is because the clones are real bodies with real chakra systems, identical to the user. It can be detected by Sharingan. 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.

Name: Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu, literally “Shadow Neck Bind Technique”
Type: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)

However, those with much chakra are able to push back the shadow hand and resist the effects.

Kage Shuriken no Jutsu (Shadow Shuriken Technique)
Name: Kage Shuriken no Jutsu, literally “Shadow Shuriken Technique” English TV “Shadow Shuriken Jutsu”
Type: D-rank, Offensive, Mid- to long range (5+m)
Users: Uchiha Sasuke

The user of this technique throws multiple large shuriken in such a way that the first shuriken hides the subsequent ones, probably by blocking the line of sight. To the target, it would look like only one shuriken was thrown.

Sasuke successfully used this technique (with two shuriken) against Momochi Zabuza to cancel his Suirou no Jutsu and thus free Kakashi from it.

Kagemane no Jutsu (The Art of Me-and-My-Shadow)
Name: Kagemane no Jutsu, literally “Shadow Imitation Technique”; Kage Shibari no Jutsu, literally “Shadow Bind Technique” Viz “The Art of Me-and-My-Shadow”
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, literally “Puppet Technique”
Type: C-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary, Close to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Kankurou, 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 Shu (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 (“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.

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.

Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
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 formed in the shape of a sphere, between the size of a softball and a baseball. 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 hand. 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.

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

Users: Jiraiya, Hatake Kakashi
A special written seal, probably created by Jiraiya, that when applied to Uzumaki Naruto’s body will dispel all effects, including chakra, of the Kyubi. This seal is probably S-ranked, because of it’s ability to seal Kyubi’s chakra when it’s already out.

This technique, when performed properly, ends the lives of both the target and the user.

Type: B-rank, Supplementary
Users: Sound Four

Byakugan (Evil Eye)

  • Name: Byakugan, literally “White Eye”, Viz “Evil Eye”
  • Type: Doujutsu, No Rank, Supplementary, All ranges
  • Users: Hyuga Hinata, Hyuga Neji, Hyuga Hiashi, Hyuga Hanabi, Hyuga Hizashi

The power and effectiveness of the Byakugan varies from person to person, but in the most advanced cases (such as that of Hyuga Neji), a Byakugan user has a 360 degree field of vision, with the exception of a small blind spot behind the user’s first thoracic vertebra, 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 Juken, as it allows the user to see the chakra circulatory system of an opponent. It is to be noted, however, that the Byakugan is a seeing eye that lacks the power of analysis. Each level of its insight can therefore be mystified by proper means. This is demonstrated in an anime filler arc by Ranmaru, who created false chakra circulatory systems through the use of a doujutsu (possibly a bloodline limit), causing the Byakugan to see inanimate objects as people and the objects themselves at the same time. A Byakugan user is unable to see the working of such an “illusion”.

Makyo Hyosho (Demonic Mirror Ice Crystals)

  • Name: Makyo Hyosho, 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 ice 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 between these mirrors and attack while in transit, making it almost impossible to defend from his attacks or to attack him.
Haku’s Makyo Hyosho had never been defeated before his fight with Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, when Naruto used the Kyubi’s chakra to break through the mirrors.

Mangekyo Sharingan (Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye)

  • Name: Mangekyou Sharingan, literally “Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye”
  • Type: Doujutsu, 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 Mangekyou progressively weakens and destroys the vision.

In manga chapter 276, Kakashi reveals that he has also developed the Mangekyou, and uses a technique (possibly the Susanoo) to destroy Deidara’s right arm (possibly sending it to another dimension). Thus, there are two known living users of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Uchiha Itachi and Hatake Kakashi. It is unknown if Kakashi was the other Mangekyou 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 Mangekyou appears slightly different from Itachi’s, an observation with currently unknown significance.

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

Also according to Itachi, you need to kill your best friend in order to obtain the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Sharingan (Copy Wheel Eye)

  • Name: Sharingan, literally “Copy Wheel Eye”
  • Type: Doujutsu, 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 Hyuga 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, 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.
