Ninja LoreJutsuA jutsu (technique or skill) is a general term referring to any technique a ninja might use

that an ordinary human would likely be unable to naturally imitate. Jutsu often rely on the

manipulation of chakra (somewhat of a misconception of ninjas, as it realy is Ki or hiwhich they manipulate, as the chakras are centers of energy in the body, and not an

energy themsel!es. "t is howe!er true that ninjas draw ki directly from their chakras) by

!arious methods, the most common of which is hand seals. #he hand seals consist of a

combination of twel!e$animal symbols that deri!e from the Kara #uran earthly branches.#he hand seals are based upon the characters of the Kara #uran %odiac, which is a

longstanding tradition in &hou$'ung. *

Chakra (really Ki or hi)+ody nergy is a !ital force generated within the cells of li!ing organisms. ombined

with &piritual nergy, or force of will and mental fortitude, it can be harnessed to a!ariety of uses, such as the production of the superhuman stamina used in taijutsu. "t can

also be used for formation of the energy known as chakra, essential to the use of e!en the

most basic of jutsu. -nce created, chakra mo!es about the body to any of its release (hakra) points,

utili%ing a network of passages not unlike the circulatory system. +y !arious means$

handseals being the most common$ it can then be manipulated to the end materiali%ing

effects otherwise impossible under the laws of nature, such as walking on water or breathing fire.

epending on the ratio in which physical and spiritual energy is mi/ed, different types

of chakra can be formed. lemental chakra is the most common product of this, and isused to perform elemental jutsu. #he fi!e known elemental natures are earth, fire,

lightning, water, and wind. 0ost ninja ha!e a natural affinity to one type of chakra, but

ha!e the capacity to create elemental chakra apart from their own affinity. ach elementis both stronger and weaker against another. #he order is fire, wind, lightning, earth, and

water, with each being weaker than the pre!ious and stronger than the ne/t. 1ater loops

back into fire. 2or e/ample, a lightning based attack would be !ery effecti!e against an

earth based defense, but easily countered by a wind user. Additionally, elementaltechniques can be countered by techniques of the same element, pro!ided the technique

being countered is of equal or lesser power.

ertain kekkei genkai can also create unique elements, such as wood (earth 3 water) andice (water 3 wind), through a mi/ture of the basic elements, which normal ninja are

incapable of doing. 1hile some ninja are capable of producing !aried types of chakra,

they can4t do so simultaneously.

Eight Gates#he ight 5ates are eight specific points on a person4s chakra circulatory system. #heylimit the o!erall flow of chakra (Ki6hi) within a person4s body. #he basis for the idea of

the chakra gates comes from the body4s limits on the functions within it. #his makes the

body much weaker, but it keeps the body from e/piring too soon. +y opening these gates,

the user can surpass their own physical limits at the cost of e/treme damage to their own



bodies. #he eight gates, in order, are7 the 8elease 5ate (Kaimon, also 9"nitial 5ate9), the

nergy 5ate (Kyuumon, also known as the :eal 5ate, as releasing it triggers fast healing

in the body), the 'ife 5ate (&emon), the 1ound 5ate (&homon, also known as the ;ain5ate), the 2orest 5ate (#omon, also known as the 'imit 5ate), the <iew 5ate (Keimon),

the "nsanity 5ate (Kyōmon), and the eath 5ate (&hinmon). -pening the final gate will

grant the user enough strength to surpass a Kage= howe!er, the result of opening the finalgate is that all the energy from the openers cells is used up, resulting in the user4s death.#he state where all eight gates are opened is called :achimon #onk ō no Jin.

Basic information5enerally speaking, jutsu are di!ided into three categories7 genjutsu, ninjutsu, andtaijutsu. >injutsu also has two sub$categories7 sealing jutsu and cursed seal jutsu, which

are jutsu used to create seals for !arious purposes. #here are also kekkei genkai abilities.

#hese are not actually jutsu, but genetically$inherited abilities that are only possessed by

specific clans. epending on the difficulty or skill necessary to perform a jutsu, they will be ranked

differently. #here are a total of si/ ranks (from to &), plus two informal ranks forspecial circumstances. #he rank of a jutsu doesn4t necessarily mean it will be moreeffecti!e than a lower$ranked jutsu, just more difficult to perform properly. #he o!erall

effecti!eness of any gi!en jutsu is largely based on indi!idual skill. #he two informal

ranks are 9secret9 and 9forbidden technique9. &ecret jutsu are passed down fromgeneration to generation within a clan. #hese jutsu are not ranked since no one outside

the clan knows how to perform them. Kekkei genkai$based jutsu also fall under this rank

since it is impossible for anyone else to perform them. 2orbidden jutsu, on the other hand,often do fall into one of the si/ main ranks, but are an e/ception because they are

forbidden (or, at the !ery least, frowned upon) to learn or perform. A technique can be

categori%ed as forbidden if it either causes great harm to the user, such as opening the

ight 5ates, or if the techniques are dark or sinister in nature.

Ninjutsu >injutsu (9>inja #echniques9) is a !ague term referring to almost any technique that useschakra and allows the user to do something that they otherwise would be incapable of

doing. #he earliest forms of ninjutsu are said to ha!e been created by the first owner of

the 8innegan. ?nlike genjutsu, which makes the opponent see illusions, the effects ofninjutsu are quite real. >injutsu relies on chakra and, most of the time, hand seals (each

hand seal showing a different animal in the Kara #uran %odiac) to be effecti!e. #he hands

are put in sequential positions that mold chakra in the necessary manner to perform a jutsu. #his is not always consistent, howe!er, and some of the simpler jutsu seem to

become second nature to e/perienced ninja, after which they can perform them at will.Additionally, some ninjutsu can be classified as an elemental jutsu, in those cases where a

specific element (earth, fire, lightning, water, wind) is used. #he phrase 9>inja Art9(>inpō) is occasionally added to the beginning of the jutsu.Sealing jutsu

&ealing jutsu (2ūin Jutsu) are jutsu that seal something inside objects or li!ing beings.

#he most common application of this is sealing weapons or other objects within scrolls to

efficiently carry a large number of items. &ealing jutsu are also utili%ed to restrict access



to things, such as chakra or entry to a building.

Cursed Seal jutsu

ursed &eal jutsu (Jūin Jutsu, 9cursed seal techniques9 or 9#echnique of the Accursed

0ark9) are jutsu that use a special 9cursed seal9 to put someone under the control of the

user or elicit an unnatural effect in the one they are placed on. #hey can be used to cause

either pain (including death if the pain is large enough) or in!oking !arious mutations inthe recipient.

Genjutsu5enjutsu (9"llusion #echniques9) are techniques that are employed in the same fashion as >injutsu, requiring chakra and hand seals. :owe!er, the primary difference between the

two is that the effect of 5enjutsu is illusory, creating chakra imbalances in the !ictim4s

brain and ner!ous system to create illusions, causing a disruption in their senses, basically an ad!anced intellectual ninjutsu. #his is often used to create false images or

cause pain from trauma (because the body is led to belie!e it is in pain, and it feels real),

howe!er there are plenty of other uses depending on the situation. #hose with special

abilities like the ?chiha clan4s &haringan or those with high intelligence ha!e an easiertime e/ecuting and countering genjutsu, as attention to detail is key. #he most commonly

seen genjutsu is the simple creation of phantasms @ causing the targeted person(s) to hear,

see, smell, taste and6or feel sensations that are not actually there in order to manipulatethem. "n other words, genjutsu affects the fi!e senses, though other applications of

genjutsu e/ist. #hose under the influence of genjutsu either free%e in place or lose

consciousness, depending on how capable they are in recogni%ing and defending againstit. #hey are not used as often as ninjutsu because they don4t physically harm the

opponent, but se!eral crafty characters ha!e made themsel!es well known for their great

e/ecution of genjutsu. 5enjutsu is created when a ninja e/tends their chakra flow throughthe cerebral ner!ous system of their opponent to control their mind4s chakra, thereby

affecting their fi!e senses. #o combat the effects of 5enjutsu, there are two options. #he first option is for the ninjato stop the flow of chakra in their body, and then apply an e!en stronger power to disrupt

the flow of the casters chakra. #his is called 5enjutsu ancel. Alternati!ely, should they

fail to cancel the genjutsu, intense pain (though not that caused by the genjutsu) can snap

them out of it. #he third option is to ha!e an outside ninja unaffected by the 5enjutsumake body contact, and use their chakra to disrupt the casters flow by forcing their own

chakra into the recipients body, breaking the chakra flow and thus the genjutsu. 5enjutsu

attacks usually will require a lot of skill, and if performed incorrectly will not work.#hese types of attacks use up a high amount of chakra and need perfect hand seals.

+ecause of this they4re most often used by a fighter with !ery high amounts of chakra or

as a last resort.

Taijutsu#aijutsu (9+ody #echniques9 or 9hand$to$hand combat9) refers to any techniquesin!ol!ing the martial arts or the optimi%ation of natural human abilities in general. "n

other words, taijutsu is e/ecuted by accessing the user4s stamina directly, rather than

con!erting the user4s stamina to chakra in order to e/ecute a ninjutsu or genjutsu

technique, meaning that taijutsu is much quicker to e/ecute than (though not always as



powerful) as ninjutsu and genjutsu. "n some cases, chakra is used to enhance the

techniques, particularly in the :yuga clan4s 5entle 2ist style where the user sends small

bursts of chakra into the persons body to attack the chakra system or chakra points, and inthe case of some ninjas, who combine chakra into their attacks to cause great damage.

5enerally speaking, howe!er, most taijutsu users rarely use chakra in their attacks.

Kekkei GenkaiKekkei 5enkai (9+loodline 'imit9) are abilities passed down genetically in specific

clans. 0ost clans ha!e de!eloped special jutsu related to their kekkei genkai and theirrelated jutsu cannot be taught or copied by others, as they require the specific genetic trait

to work, but it is possible to confer the ability to another person if it4s locali%ed in a

particular organ like the eyes !ia organ transplant. Kekkei 5enkai abilities that work !iathe user4s eye are called 9pupil techniques9 (dōjutsu), such as the Byakugan,Sharingan, and Rinnegan. 0any (but not all) Kekkei 5enkai originated in the el!es, and through intermingling ofel!es with humans, were passed down to humans. 2or e/ample, elemental fusions that are

considered Kekkei 5enkai by humans, are more coomon and learnable by all el!es, astheir deep ties with nature make them able to wield such e/traordinary powers. ojutsu,more specifically, +yakugan and &haringan, are simply natural de!elopement of the

el!en eyes, beyond their ability to see through illusions, detect secret doors, and see in the

dark with infra!ision. -ther abilities (such as &hikotsumyaku) come from the el!es4e/traordinary body, which is more e!ol!ed than that of humans.

SageA sage (仙人, &ennin) is someone who is able to utili%e senjutsu (仙術, &age

#echniques), and has mastered the art of &age 0ode.

Senjutsu&enjutsu (仙術, &age #echniques) refers to a speciali%ed field of jutsu that allows the userto sense and then gather the natural energy around a person. &enjutsu practitioners can

then learn to draw the energy of nature inside of them blending it with their own chakra

(created from spiritual and physical energy within the shinobi), adding a new dimensionof power to the &age4s chakra, resulting in the creation of 9senjutsu chakra9 (仙術チャクラ, senjutsu chakura).

#his new chakra enables the user to enter an empowered state called &age 0ode, which

can then drastically increase the strength of all ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu. A person

who is able to use senjutsu is called a sage (仙人, sennin). "t would seem that it stems

from the toads of 0ount 0yboku, as only &hima, 2ukasaku, Jiraiya and >aruto ha!e

been seen using it. 5amakichi and 5amabunta also seem to be familiar with it. #his

howe!er is not true. #he first to harness natural energy and mi/ it with their ki were theancient el!es. #hey passed their knowledge to the toads of 0ount 0yboku, seeing them

as worthy of the knowledge. #hey did so to pre!ent the art from disappearing, as the

el!es had, by then, begun their e/odus to their hidden island in the west.

Usage

According to 2ukasaku, only those who already possess 9e/treme chakra le!els ...

specifically Jiraiya, :ikari and >aruto9 can utili%e natural energies to in!oke senjutsu. #he user is required to balance his6her physical and spiritual energy with the natural



energy he6she gathers from nature= 5amakichi compares the process to adding an e/tra

fla!or to a chocolate and !anilla swirl ice cream. "f the user puts too little natural energy

into using senjutsu, the technique will not initiate. 1hile gathering natural energy, the gatherer must remain absolutely still in order to be

one with nature. #hey can use a special toad oil that allows the natural energy to enter

their body, but this oil only e/ists in liquid form in 0ount 0yōboku's atmoshere. !he oil e"aorates if it is taken outside, thus rendering it useful only forlearning uroses. #f the user takes in too much natural energy, theuser $ill start to turn into a toad and, e"entually, turn to stone. !heetrified remains of one%time arentice Sages $ho failed to mastersenjutsu are sread throughout &ount &yōboku. etting hit by a secial sceter during the transformation $ill re"ersethe !oad !ransformation by knocking all the natural energy out of thegatherer. #t is dangerous to learn ho$ to gather natural energy $ithoutthe staff because there is no other kno$n $ay to re"erse the toadtransformation. (urthermore, if the transformation is comleted, not

e"en the staff can re"erse it, and the user $ould become a toad statuefore"er. #f the ractitioner can achie"e a erfect balance bet$een the hysicaland siritual energies of their o$n chakra, and the energies of naturethey can roduce a ne$ and stronger chakra, called Sage *hakra.Sage Mode#hose who are able to learn to use senjutsu are able to enter a physical state called 9&age

0ode9 (&ennin 0odo). 1hen acti!e, &age 0ode increases the user4s strength and speed,

as well as more powerful jutsu.Ad!antages7

B #he user4s physical strength, speed, stamina, and durability dramatically increase.

B #he user4s ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu become !ery powerful. B #he user can harness the natural energy surrounding them, turning it into an

e/tension of their body, and increasing the reach of their attacks.

B #he user gains the ability to sense chakra around them.

B #he user does not feel as much pain, and reco!ers faster from physical damage.1eaknesses7

B "f the user draws in too much natural energy in the attempt to initiate &age 0ode,

they run the risk of transforming into a toad or another animal (see below), then intostone.

B "n order to gather enough natural energy to initiate the transformation into &age

0ode, the user must remain perfectly still. +ecause of that, the user can be an easy target

for an opponent. B +ecause the user needs to mo!e during combat, the &age chakra cannot be

replenished, which means the user can4t stay within this state for e/tended periods oftime.

B #he two weaknesses mentioned abo!e can be bypassed through the &age Art7

Amphibian #echnique, where one &age gathers chakra for another or as in >aruto4s case,

shadow clones can be used for the same purpose. B After &age 0ode has ended, the user appears to e/perience e/haustion.



Forms

"mperfect &age 0ode7

Jiraiya was not able to properly balance his own chakra with natural energy, resulting inhim using an imperfect form of &age 0ode. As such, whene!er Jiraiya was using &age

0ode, he would summon &hima and 2ukasaku by drawing a blood contract on his face

to assist him in using &age 0ode. #he #oad lders fused to Jiraiya4s shoulders with &ageArt7 Amphibian #echnique, gathering natural energy from their stationary positions for

Jiraiya4s use.

As a result of the imbalance (and the imperfect nature of his transformation), Jiraiyatook a number of toad$like traits when using &age 0ode. :is appearance was altered7 his

nose grows bigger and gains warts, he gains e/cess hair (his goatee), and toad$like eyes.

2urther transformational attributes includes him taking on a toad$like stature and the lines

on his face become much thicker, taking o!er each side of his face. +ecause of thesetraits, Jiraiya didn4t like to use &age 0ode as it 9displeases the ladies9. :e also showed

the ability to transform his limbs (e.g. his hands and feet) into those of frogs so as to aid

in maneu!erability.

;erfect &age 0ode7?nlike Jiraiya, >aruto is able to perfectly balance the natural energy with his own chakra.

#his allows him to use the true &age 0ode, which retains all of his normal physicalcharacteristics e/cept for toad$like eyes7 yellow irises, hori%ontal bar$like pupils, and the

redish$orange pigment mark of a true sage on each eye. :ikar on the other hand draws on

a more ancient teaching of sagedom. 'ike the ancient el!es before him, in sage mode,:ikari take on feline features$ a greenish$blue pigment mark of a true sage appears on

each eye, his eyes turn from purple to purplish$blue and his pupils become slanted like a

cat4s, and his ears elongate slightly further. A true sage would still suffer from the

weaknesses of &age 0ode, requiring that they use &age Art7 Amphibian #echnique in a battle situation. +ecause of the >ine$#ailed emon 2o/ sealed within >aruto, howe!er,

2ukasaku was rejected whene!er he tried to fuse with him.

As a workaround, >aruto has some of his shadow clones gather natural energyelsewhere while he fights. -nce he has run out of his own senjutsu chakra, he has one of

the clones disperse, gi!ing him the clone4s natural energy and allowing him to enter &age

0ode again. #his method limits the ma/imum number of shadow clones that >aruto cancreate to fi!e for as long as the clones are gathering natural energy, as anything more

would interfere with their focus. #o make sure he has enough shadow clones for use in

battle, >aruto has only two shadow clones gather senjutsu chakra, allowing him to enter

&age 0ode a total of three times. >aruto also stated that it is possible to lengthen the timehe is in &age 0ode.

Knon Jutsu ! Ninjutsu "cid of #ne Thousand Fangs

#he Acid of -ne #housand 2angs technique (Ceshi >ensan) empowers its user to breath

forth a gout of highly caustic acid at a target. #he acid burns flesh, and can melt rock and

metal.

"ir Techni$uesAir techniques are techniques that utili%e air and wind, and also re!ol!e around wind$



based chakra nature manipulation. 1hile mostly used for defense and e!asion, some such

techniques are powerful offensi!es.

%ulti!Smoke Clone

Another !ariation of the clone technique, the 0ulti$&moke lone (nju +unshin) uses

smoke and other !apors to form clones that ha!e tangibility, and when struck, they

disperse and coalace.Fl&ing Sallo

#he 2lying &wallow (:ien) is an e/ample of chakra nature manipulation, and is only

usable by those who possess the ability to manipulate their chakra into wind chakra. #hisis an enhancing ability, meant to be used with a weapon made of a substance that can be

infused with chakra (like Asuma4s trench kni!es). #he user can e/tend the blades with his

chakra to injure an enemy se!eral feet out of the physical blade4s range, and while infused

with wind chakra, such weapons possess enough power to pierce through rock.

'ind (elease) *iolent 'ind +alm

#he 1ind 8elease7 <iolent 1ind ;alm or 1ind 8elease7 5ale ;alm (2uuton7 8eppusho)

is a simple technique that sends a gust of concentrated wind at the opponent. 1hen used

with a weapon such as a kunai can be fatal.+eacock 'hirlind

#he ;eacock 1hirlwind (Kujaku &enpuu) technique is a basic air jutsu that allows theuser to send a straight gust of wind at one or more opponents, that widens at its end. #he

gust of wind is strong and encompassing enough to blow the target se!eral yards back,

and knock him of his feet.

*acuum Blade

<acuum +lade (&hinkuuken) is a technique employed using a blade. #he user channels

wind along the blade and with a slice can blow away enemies, objects and more with a

!iolent wa!e of wind. 1ind can be maintained on the blade to add to its strength andsharpness.

Slicing "ir 'a,e

1ith ecapitating Air 1a!e (Cank ūha), the user can control air pressure, creating

supersonic blasts of air from his hands. #hese blasts are powerful enough to destroystone.

Ultimate "ir Slicing

#he ?ltimate Air &licing (Cank ūkyokuha), a more powerful !ersion of the &licing Air

1a!e, where the user creates a massi!e gust of cutting wind capable of totaling the

surrounding area, wiping out anything in its path.

Binding Smoke +rison

#he +inding &moke ;rison (nbakurou) is a technique which allows the user to turn

smoke from any source (e!en smoke clones) into binds and restraints around a target4s body, forbiding him from mo!ing.

Smoke -ragon

#he &moke ragon (nryuu) technique allows the user to form smoke into the shape ofone or more dragons that engulf a target or targets at the user4s direction. 1hile the

smoke dragon has no solid substance, it4s purpose is to cause suffocation from smoke

inhalation. #he only requirement for the technique is that the user ha!e a source of smoketo manipulate.

'ind (elease) *erdent %ountain.s *iolent 'ind



#he 1ind 8elease7 <erdent 0ountain4s <iolent 1ind (2uuton7 &uiran 8eppu) technique

is despite its name all about fine control. #he user can form a gust of wind around an

object and precisely manipulate the object as he wishes as if telekinetically.

'hirlind "ttack

#he 1hirlwind Attack (Kamaitachi) is an air technique that requires a fan to e/ecute. #he

user wa!es the fan and molds chakra to generate a !orte/ of swirling air directed at histarget. -nce hitting the target, the !orte/ straightens abo!e the ground, trapping the

!ictim in a small, powerful tornado. As the wind is embedded with chakra, it can cut the

trapped !ictim, at this point practically helpless, inflicting injuries on him like blades.#his is under the full control of this technique4s user. #he !orte/ can instead be kept

blowing all o!er the area, causing damage to the en!ironment, and those caught in the

wind in general. #he wind, because it is embeded with chakra, is capable of slashing, and

e!en se!ering material objects, depending on their strength.

'ind (elease) Great Slashing 'ind Techni$ue

#he 1ind 8elease7 5reat &lashing 1ind #echnique (2uuton7 ai Kamaitachi no Jutsu)

creates swirling winds so imbued with chakra, it can slice trees clean, and e!en metal. "n

all other respects it is quite similar to the 1hirlwind Attack.Blade of 'ind

#he +lade of 1ind (Ka%e no Daiba) technique creates a blade of wind. #he blade is saidto be impossible to block because of its intangible nature, although since it uses wind, a

fire attack of equal strength might be able to block it by consuming the air.

Beast 'a,e Strike

#he +east 1a!e &trike (Juuha &hou) is a wind technique, where the user in!okes the

technique and wa!es his arm infront of him in an arc. #he result is is a powerful arc of

wind infused with the user4s chakra that can knock many people infront of him and cause

hea!y damage to the area infront of him. #he wind will cut anything, e!en chakra. #heuser can control this arc, directing it in any direction he wants, in circular mo!es, almost

like a bumerang. 0ultiple such arcs can be created.

Beast 'a,e *iolent Strike

#he +east 1a!e <iolent &trike (Juuha 8eppuu &hou) allows the user to direct a powerful

stream of wind$based chakra along his fist, shaping it like a huge claw capable of hitting

an opponent from a distance, and knocking him away !iolently a great distance. #hiswind fist is so powerful that wind chakra swirls from it to the sides of the user.

-ust 'ind

#he ust 1ind jutsu (2uusajin) is yet another air technique that requires a fan to e/ecute.

#he user wa!es the fan and imbues the resultant wind with chakra. #he widespread windis !ery abrasi!e, wearing down e!erything it touches from wood to stone like sandpaper.

#he result is a wind full of particles. #he wind can also cause painful abrasions to li!ing

creatures, especially human and creatures without a coat of fur. Also, the wind lea!es alair of loose dust on any surface it comes in contact. #he technique is used to destroy an

opponent4s footing in areas requiring solid agility like the forests around Konoha.

Soaring Short Sords) -elirium 'inds

#he &oaring &hort &words7 elirium 1inds (2ujaku :ishou &ouken7 &enmoufuu)

technique is called so because of the need to employ two short swords to e/ecute it. #he

user in!okes the jutsu, and cuts the air infront of him with the swords in two crossing

arcs. #he result is a !ery powerful wind blowing forth away from the user. #he wind is



powerful enough to hinder mo!ement significantly. "t is strong and noisy, making most

people disorriented.

'ind (elease) 'ind Cutting

#he 1ind utting or 1ind &licer technique (2uuton7 Ka%e Kiri) is a powerful wind

technique that creates in!isible massi!e blades of wind that can slice easily through

almost anything. "t can also be used as a counter to air and wind techniques. #he userneeds some sort of cutting weapon (like a sword) that he wa!es to intercept the coming

attack. -nce in!oked, the technique breaks any air or wind attack slashed by the weapon.

8elati!e power is important, as a powerful air and wind user may land a successfulattack, if powerful enough, against someone using 1ind utting, who is inferior in

power. "f the user of the 1ind utting is powerful enough, he can e!en return the attack

(albeit somewhat weakened) to the attacker.

'ind Counter

#he 1ind ounter (Ka%e 5aeshi) is a much more powerful !ersion of 1ind utting.

1hen in!oked, it fully nullifies e!en the most powerful wind attacks, and redirects them

at the person who in!oked them.

'ind (elease Ninja "rt) -i,ine 'ind#he 1ind 8elease >inja Art7 i!ine 1ind (2uuton >inpou7 Kamika%e) allows the user

to crete a number of tall thin whirls of air, like small tornados, and direct them at willagainst targets of his choice.

'ind (elease) /ol& Jet Stream

#he 1ind 8elease7 :oly Jet &tream (2uuton7 Kami -roshi) allows the user to send astrong, straight, spiraling stream of wind from his hand at an area or a target.

'ind (elease) Falling +etal -ance

#he 1ind 8elease7 2alling ;etal ance (2uuton7 :anachiri 0ai) technique surrounds the

user with a whirlwind that intercepts an attacker, and throws him away e/tremely!iolently with a powerful torrent of wind. #he wind is filled with flower petals made

from the user4s chakra, hence the name. #he wind is powerful enough to bore somewhat

into rock, and the petals cause slashing damage. #he torrent of wind can also be split intose!eral smaller ones under the user4s control, to attack one opponent from se!eral

directions or se!eral opponents at once.

'ind (elease) 0nfinite Sand Gust Storm

#he 1ind 8elease7 "nfinite &and 5ust &torm (2uuton7 0ugen &ajin aitoppa) is a

technique suited for the desert, where sand is abundent. "t is an air technique, but also

something of a sand technique. #he user inhales, infuses the breath with chakra and

e/hales. #he released breath turns into a powerful gust into which sand is drawn withchakra. #he gust of wind and sand is powerful and abrasi!e, causing terrible abrasions

and blowing away anything in its path that is not anchored or hea!y.

'ind (elease) Great Breakthrough

#he 1ind 8elease7 5reat +reakthrough (2ūton+ aitoa) is a technique that creates

a large e/plosion of wind from the user4s location, easily le!eling e!erything in its path.

A !ariation of the technique in!ol!es a smaller blast of wind which gets ignited with

flame.

'ind (elease) Com1ressed "ir Ball

#he 1ind 8elease7 ompressed Air +all technique (2uuton7 8enkuudan) allows the user

to e/hale a huge spherical condensed blast of air. 1hen it strikes, the blast is spherical.



#his powerful blast can le!el a swath of forest. "f enough chakra is molded into it, the air

ball becomes e/plosi!e, as the hydrogen in the air making up the ball is ignited, creating

a !ery big e/plosion on impact.

'ind (elease) Bleeding Force

#he 1ind 8elease7 +leeding 2orce or 1ind 8elease7 ;ressure amage (2uuton7 Atsugai)

technique creates a huge blast of wind, so powerful, it can tear through an area and lea!enothing but destruction. #he blast of wind can tear and break trees and buildings, and it

can tear a person in it4s path to pieces. #he wind blast is so great it creates tornado

strength wind all around it4s path, knocking things to the ground or blowing them away.

'ind (elease) Se,ering +ressure

#he 1ind 8elease7 &e!ering ;ressure (2uuton7 #atsu no -shigoto) technique, which is

best used outside, allows the user to call a huge tornado from sky that comes down to

surround one or more targets. #he tornado is !ery powerful, with the ability to pick upand uproot large objects caught in it (as well as any person in it). "t is also embeded with

chakra, so it has the same cutting and se!ering quality as other wind attacks. #his is a

!ery powerful jutsu and requires the changing of barometric pressure to occur (it is

usually e!ident by the sudden clouding of the sky, and build$up of static electricity), so ittakes a few moments from the moment it is in!oked until its effects occur. #his technique

can be set up as a fake as it does not immediately acti!ate but has a delayed effect. #hetechnique alters weather conditions temporarily and attacks from the sky rather than from

the person. #he storm clouds that create the attack dissipate immediately after the tornado

begins while the tornado continues in a highly concentrated state.

Sage "rt) 'ind (elease -ust Cloud

&age Art7 1ind 8elease ust loud (&enpō+ (ūton Sunabokori) allows the user to

spit out a massi!e cloud of dust from their mouth, the dust cloud is thick enough that it is

capable of blocking the target4s !ision completely. #he dust cloud is large enough to hidea summon as large as 5amabunta.

"mida.s 2333!"rm -eath Em4race

Amida4s EFFF$Arm eath mbrace (8aigou &enjusatsu) is a !ery powerful technique thatallows the user to call upon a spirit being of imense power. #his jutsu is acti!ated when

the user uses his left hand to make a half$ram and e/tending his right hand down with his

palm parallel to the ground. 0usic starts playing as the user summons the spirit ofAmida. #he spirit is normally calm, angelic and looks peaceful. :owe!er, whene!er the

user gets angry, the spirit turns red and transforms into a somewhat demonic$looking

creature. Amida then attacks the user4s target with its EFFF spirit fists. #his spirit beingtakes its place behind and abo!e the user, appearing as a godess sitted on a lotus in bloom

spreading many arms on both her sides. #he user can send forth huge disembodied fists

from the statue that assault any target or targets he chooses. #he technique is equaly

effecti!e for offense and defense.

Beast Techni$ues+east techniques are the specialty of the "nu%uka lan. #he people of the clan raise theirchildren to form deep bonds with canine animals, that, in turn, become loyal friends and

companions. #he people of the clan can understand their animal companions, they ha!e

techniques allowing them to heighten their senses (especialy scent), and their animal



companions gain the ability to sense the chakra of others and its strength. 0any of the

signature techniques of the clan are based on cooporation with their animal companions,

or mimicry of animal qualities.

Beast %imicr& Ninja Techni$ue5 Four Legs

#he +east 0imicry >inja #echnique, 2our 'egs (5ijyuu >inpou, &hikyaku no Jutsu)

uses chakra to make the user more animalistic. #he user4s fingernails grow slightly andsharpen into short claws, and he becomes comfortable mo!ing on all four limbs. "n

addition, the user of this technique becomes supernaturaly fast, not unlike those who

direct chakra in their body for enhancement, or gifted taijutsu users, capable of making part of his mo!e on all fours running on walls and the like. #he user also gains some

e/tra strength, and a heightened sense of smell just like an animal4s.

/alf!Beast Clone

#he :alf$+east lone technique (Jyuujin +unshin) requires that the user ha!e an animalfriendly and helpful to him on his side. #hrough its use, the user both gains the benefits

of the 2our 'egs technique and transforms his animal companion into an e/ect duplicate

of him, capable of modes of mo!ement and actions like the user (walking on two, using

the hands with more sophistication than paws, etc.)= #he animal companion cannot,howe!er, speak as a human= "t is capable howe!er of fighting mo!es practiced with its

human companion, such as !arious taijutsu techniques. ?nlike most clone techniques,this one is limited by the number of animal companions the user has, but such 9clones9

are not inferior in strength, and it is a transformation technique. 1hen combined with the

2our 'egs #echnique, the user and the animal become !irtually impossible to tell apart,since both act equally animalistic. 'ike any transformation, the jutsu can be broken by

identifying and attacking the animal, thus dispelling the transformation.

/alf Beast %aster Com4at %o,e) Fang -estro&er

#he :alf +east 0aster ombat 0o!e7 2ang estroyer (Juujin #aijutsu -ugi7 #suuga) isa taijutsu technique especially created by beast masters to be used while performing the

2our 'egs technique, or the :alf$+east lone technique. 1hen e/ecuting this mo!e the

user can spin !ery quickly and propel himself forward in an attempt to slam into hisopponent in a !orte/ of blows and claws. #he force of the impact alone is enough to send

most flying across se!eral good yards away. #his is a !ery fast mo!e that is e/tremely

hard to a!oid by most less than hounin rank ninja. #he user is like a drill, and can boresomewhat into earth.

-ou4le Fang -estro&er

#he ouble 2ang estroyer (5atsuuga) is the same as the #suuga, e/cept it is done by a

person and his animal companion in half$beast clone form.

0nu6uka St&le Beast Com4ination Transformation) To /eaded 'olf

#he "nu%uka &tyle +east ombination #ransformation7 #wo :eaded 1olf ("nu%uka 8yuu

hinjuu ombi :enge7 &outou 8ou) is an ad!anced trnsformation technique that allowsthe user, while touching his animal companion (or touched by him) to transform both of

them into one combined creature. #hat creature always looks like a dire, monstrous, huge

!ersion of the animal companion, with two heads. ?sing this technique combines theabilities of both (senses, chakra use, physical abilities, etc.).

Garouga

#he 5arouga (ouble 1olf 2ang) #echnique, is meant to be used in conjunction with the

ombi :enge7 &outou 8ou jutsu. "t is somthing like the 5atsuuga jutsu, e/cept, because



the user is transformed with his animal companion into a giant two headed wolf, it is

much more powerful, and capable of much greater destruction. #his attack is powerful

enough to cut a person in two, and e!en dent a 8ashomon gate. :owe!er, 5arouga4srotation speed is so fast, the user and companion lose much of their field of !ision, but

e!en if they don4t hit directly, its speed is so great that the surrounding air can slice like a

blade. "f he gets hit directly, he is cut to pieces. As the user and companion can4t see well,they must rely on other senses, such as scent and tremor sense.

Bee Techni$ues+ee techniques are a set of bug techniques e/clusi!e to the Kami%uru clan, also bug$

using shinobi who speciali%e in bees. #he Kami%uru clan hail from the :idden <illage of

8ock in the ountry of 'and. #hey were as prominent and prestigious as the Aburameclan in the past, but, during a clash between these two clans that occured during an

attempted attack of the 8ock !illage on the !illage of Konoha, the Aburame clan laid

waste to many of the Kami%uru. "n this battle, they planned to release a large army of

bees to confuse e!eryone in the !illage while they attacked. +ut the Aburame clan

noticed this and faced them from the forest west of Konoha. #he two clans released their bugs, kikai and bees, to fight each other. #he fight that people saw in the sky between the

two bug user clans ended with a !ictory to the Aburame clan. 1ith this battle, theAburame clan succeeded in securing a firm position within the :idden <illage of

Konoha. -n the other hand, the Kami%uru clan was disgraced within the :idden <ilage

of 8ock. -nly a few members of this clan remain, and those are some of their signaturetechniques.

Bee Nectar Techni$ue

#he +ee >ectar #echnique (>inpou7 :achi 0itsu no Jutsu) is a technique of the

Kami%uru clan, also bug$using shinobi who speciali%e in bees. #he user can create aswarm of bees that, upon contact with a target, burst into bee nectar that co!ers the the

target. #hose bees are not real, and cannot sting. #he nectar, which has the same properties as glue, co!ers the target, and adheres to it. &hould enough of it co!er thetarget, he will be limited in mo!ement, or completely immobili%ed.

#ne Thousand Bee Needle Techni$ue

#he -ne #housand +ee >eedle #echnique (:achi &enbon no Jutsu) is another bee relatedtechnique, where the user empowers the bees under his control to shoot solid chakra

needles from their stings at opponents. #hose needles ha!e the same effect as metal

needles. As the name of the technique implies, up to one thousand needles are fired.

Bee Bom4 Techni$ue

#he +ee +omb #echnique (:achi +akudan no Jutsu) is a bee related technique where the

user creates a swarm of bees that, upon contact with a target e/plode like an e/ploding

tag. ach bee on its own is not strong enough to cause serious damage to anyone oranything, but se!eral together, not to mention a swarm, can cause hea!y damage. #he

bees must come in contact with the target to e/plode. "f a bee is killed in mid air, it will

not e/plode.

Black Tornado

#he +lack #ornado #echnique (>inpo, Kuro #atsumaki) is a group technique, where forshinobi sit on each other4s shoulders as a four man tower. #he user molds chakra and



in!okes the technique, allowing him and his three companions to start spinning e/tremely

fast. #o the casual obser!er, they all seem as a swirling black tornado (regardless of their

clothing4s colors). "n this form, they can mo!e e/tremely fast, and cause damage to theirtargets and the immediate en!ironment. ?sually, users of the technique put or hold blades

on or in their hands, and e/tend their arms out, so more damage can be caused to their

targets. "t is possible for one person to perform this technique alone, but its effecti!enessstems from it being a group technique, so one person would be less effecti!e, naturally.

Bod& Flicker Techni$ue

#he +ody 2licker #echnique (&hunshin no Jutsu) is a high$speed mo!ement technique,

allowing a ninja to mo!e short distances at an almost untraceable speed. #o an obser!er,

it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise

the user4s mo!ements. "t is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily boost the user4srefle/es. #he amount of chakra required depends on the o!erall distance between the user

and their intended destination. &hisui ?chiha, one of the most talented ?chiha, was

feared as 9&hisui of the +ody 2licker9 (9&hunshin no &hisui9), likely referring to this

technique. #he +ody 2licker technique has !arious !ariations among the different hidden !illages,

all of which in!ol!e some e/tra element aside from the mo!ement itself. #he e/traelement is usually some sort of substance used to distract the opponent, such as lea!es or

sand. 5aara, for instance, uses the &and +ody 2licker (&una &hunshin), which uses sand

to co!er his mo!ements. -ther !arieties include the 0ist +ody 2licker (Kiri &hunshin),1ater +ody 2licker (0i%u &hunshin), and 'eaf +ody 2licker (Konoha &hunshin).

B&akugan

#he +yakugan (91hite ye9) is an eye technique that naturally occurs in members of the:yuga clan. +yakugan possessors are characteri%ed by their la!ender, pupil$less eyes.

1hen the +yakugan is acti!ated, their pupils somewhat appear and the !eins near their

temples bulge. ;ossessors of the +yakugan are also capable of using the 5entle 2ist styleof combat. #he insight nito the chakra circulatory system that the +yakugan grants is

what allows it4s possessors a most e/traordinary feat$ the ability to produce and e/pel

chakra from e!ery point in their body. "t is a common belief that the &haringan is agenetic offshoot of the +yakugan.

A person with the +yakugan has a nearly G*F degree field of !ision, meaning that they

can literally see e!erything around them, e/cept for a small blind spot at the back of the

neck abo!e the first thoracic !ertebra. +yakugan users can detect anything around themwithin a small radius, the greater the user4s skill with the +yakugan, the larger the radius

is, which makes them close$range combat e/perts. #he +yakugan also gi!es the user the

ability to see through basically any matter o!er e/tremely long distances. A small degreeof telescopic !ision is also present, as a +yakugan user can focus on a single object at any

point within their range of !ision. #he degree of focus seems to be dependent on the skill

of the user. #he +yakugan4s insight capacity makes it useful for searching, tracking, andidentifying targets. :owe!er, one of the greatest uses of the +yakugan is the ability to see

the chakra circulation system inside of another4s body. "t is from this paticular ability that

they are able to employ their ultimate attack style7 5entle 2ist or Jyūken. ;rotection of the +yakugan ability is !ery important to the :yuga clan, and has led to



the de!elopment of an elaborate family hierarchy. 0embers of the lesser branch house

are branded with a cursed seal on their forehead at a young age. 1hene!er a branch

house member dies, the cursed seal will seal the +yakugan ability so that enemies willnot be able to disco!er its secrets.

Chakra "4sor1tion Techni$ue#he hakra Absorption #echnique (hakra Kyūin Jutsu) allows the user to absorb the

physical and spiritual energy of an opponent. #he user doesn4t ha!e to actually touch the

opponent, since it is also possible to use it through other media, as Jirobo did with his

earth dome. #he only necessary condition is some medium through which chakra can bechanneled.

Chidorihidori (literally 9-ne #housand +irds9) is an e/ample of chakra shape and nature

manipulation created by Kakashi :atake after he failed to infuse his own nature

manipulation with the 8asengan. #he hidori requires the user to channel a great deal of

lightning$based chakra to their hand, so much so that the ordinarily in!isible chakra becomes !isible to the naked eye. 2irst, the user focuses chakra into one of his hands, and

changes its nature into an electric current. >e/t, he changes the shape to that of a power

surge, which determines the power and range. ue to the high concentration of electricitythe attack creates, it emits a sound that is reminiscent of chirping birds, hence the name

(if the user is not in motion, it merely makes an electric crackling sound). -nce the attack

is formed the user rushes at their opponent and thrusts their arm into a certain part of the body, such as the heart. #he amount of thrust combined with the large concentration of

chakra allows the user to stab through almost anything= as such it is usually fatal to the

enemy. #his technique is classified as an assassination technique because of the speed atwhich it is performed, despite the loud noise it produces. "f the technique hits an object

instead of a person, the energy is released in the form of a forward spherical e/plosionthat destroys the object, or part of it, depending on its si%e. 1hile the technique is usually

fatal to its target, the speed at which the user mo!es causes them to e/perience tunnel!ision, lea!ing them open for attack. "f the user possesses a &haringan or +yakugan,

howe!er, they are able to take in more detail while mo!ing, allowing them to a!oid

counterattacks. As an additional drawback, the large amount of chakra required limits itsuse to a few times a day. An additional problem, though not necessarily a debilitating

one, is the fact that the large amount of chakra can also injure the user4s hand if they put

too much force into the attack.#he hidori requires a great deal of control in order to be properly utili%ed= Kakashi,

being the creator of the technique, has reached the peak of control o!er the ability.

+ecause of this, Kakashi4s !ersion is referred to as the 'ightning +lade (8aikiri), a higherranked form of the ability with which he once split a bolt of lightning. ue to the high

le!els of chakra required to form the technique, those able to perform it are limited to

!ery few usages a day.

Chidori Nagashi

A !ariant for the hidori, hidori >agashi (9#housand +irds urrent9) allows the user to

release powerful electrical currents from his entire body, instead of just concentrating it

in his hand, causing damage to people in direct contact with him, and those in his



immediate surroundings. #he electricity can be channeled anywhere, allowing the user to

enhance his attacks or defend himself. As an offensi!e technique, because the electricity

isn4t focused, it doesn4t kill on contact, only paraly%es. #he urrent can also be sentthrough the ground to attack opponents from their blind spot. #he user can also channel

the energy, surrounding a weapon he holds with it, increasing its sharpness to the

ma/imum and making any area in the human body hit by it numb. 1ith fine prescision, askilled user can make lightning dance all around him, yet strike only specific targets.

Chidori Sen4on

#he hidori &enbon (9#housand +irds >eedles9) is a hidori related mo!e. #he usermanipulates the current hidori in the form needles, allowing him, at the e/pance of

attack pottency, to hit many targets at a distance. #he senbon are hardly lethal compared

to a normal chidori but they can be used in a !ariety of ways. "f the user can percei!e

chakra currents (by possesing sharingan or better$ byakugan) the needles can be aimed atthe tenketsu to block them, thus pre!enting the target partial or e!en full access to their

chakra.

Chidori Kouken

#he hidori Kouken (9#housand +irds &word of 'ight9) is an ad!anced technique basedon chidori. #he user can turn the energy of the chidori into a blade of energy that can

lengthen or shorten, cut and pierce, just like a real blade, but through almost anysubstance. #he blade can be made to split into multiple ones at any point along its length,

forming quilons, or a nasty surprise for an opponent. +ecause the energy is stabili%ed so

much that it can actually e/ert physical force, the chidori sword of light does not deli!erelectrical shocks when it strikes something or someone. "t is a perfect taming of lightning.

Fla11ing Chidori

#he 2lapping hidori (:abataku hidori, 92lapping -ne #housand +irds9) is a dark

mutilation of the hidori technique. ?sing the power of the ursed &eal of :ea!en,&asuke forces the use of a third hidori. 1hile Kakashi :atake taught &asuke that the

hidori was a blade that protects the bonds he made to his comrades, &asuke warps it into

a blade that se!ers them. #he hidori instead glows black and instead of gi!ing off thesound of birds chirping which the hidori was known for, the 2lapping hidori gi!es off

the sound of many birds taking flight. "t appears to be many times stronger than a

standard hidori and maybe more powerful than the 'ightning +lade.

(aikiri

Kakashi, being the creator of the hidori technique, has reached the peak of control o!er

the ability. +ecause of this, Kakashi4s !ersion is referred to as the 'ightning +lade

(8aikiri), a higher ranked form of the ability with which he once split a bolt of lightning.+ecause the hidori is already powerful on its own, the 8aikiri requires much more

chakra and better chakra control, which is e/amplfied in its appearance. ?nlike hidori,

which menifests as a ball of e/tremely concentrated lightning energy in the user4s hand,8aikin, when it hits a person, elongates to look like a blade of lightning eminating from

the user4s hand. "n other words, the hidori appears as simply a mass of electrical chakra

in the user4s hand, the 8aikiri is more focused. #his causes far more damage, and is farmore destructi!e, but is otherwise similar to hidori.

Cicada Techni$ue

#he icada #echnique (?tsusemi no Jutsu), is a sound transfer technique. +y distributing



the sound of his !oicewith chakra, one can make his !oice appear to come from different

directions, or to originate in a certain direction, disgusing his (and possible comrades4)

location and numbers.

Cla& Techni$ues

A unique offshoot of earth techniques in!ented by eidara of Akatsuki, clay techniquesutili%e soft white clay for !arious techniques.

Cla& Clone

#he lay lone (>endo +ushin) technique allows the user to make a clone out of mudand clay to be used as assistance or decoy.

E71loding Cla&

#he /ploding lay (Kibaku >endo) is a technique reqiring some preparation on thecount of the user. #he use can infuse clay with chakra, and then mold it into a shape

depending on the abilities he wants it to ha!e. #he !arious shapes can be small birds that

ha!e speed and mobility, small spiders that can creep on enemies, and more. After

molding the clay, the user can enlarge it to !arious si%es depending on the intended

purpose of the clay.lay 8anking7

eidara, the creator of these techniques, ranked his clay by number in a fashion similar tothe $ e/plosi!e, the weakest being E and the most powerful being .

E7 eidara4s most basic and !ersatile form of clay. #hese are small animated dolls that

often resemble small birds or insects. #hey ha!e an e/plosi!e power similar to that of ahand grenade. espite being his weakest bombs they can still be lethal at close range and

are !ery mobile and agile.

H7 #hese are large li!ing clay statues. #he best e/ample seen was a giant dragon that

could create numerous other e/plosi!es from its own body, such as small burroeing mine$like spheres and flying homing smaller dragons that tracked the target.

G7 :is most powerful large scale bomb, this was a large immobile clay statue that dropson targets from abo!e. "ts e/plosi!e power was great enough to apparently destroy anentire hidden !illage.

7 :is most lethal e/plosi!e, eidara eats and releases the clay out of his actual mouth,

creating a giant copy of himself. #his figure is actually a hollow shell that disintigrates,releasing a cloud of microscopic, tick$like bombs that in!ade the target though the lungs

and the !ictim4s skin pores and detonate inside the body, causing his !ictims to literally

crumble to dust, bneing destroyed on a cellular le!el.F7 #he highest form of eidara4s /ploding lay (his 9?ltimate Art9 (Kyūkyokueijutsu)), *- is a suicide techniue used as a last resort. /e eats alarge ball of clay $ith the mouth on his chest. !his consumes his entire

body, condensing the body into a large black shere $ith jagged teethand uil%less eyes. !he shere then oens u and detonates,destroying e"erything $ithin a blast that co"ers more than tenkilometers.Self -estructing Clone Techni$ue

A combination of the two abo!e$mentioned techniques, the &elf estructing lone

#echnique (Jiga$Kujo +unshin no Jutsu) allows the user to make a clone of his or herself.

#his clone, by eating and chewing clay with its own mouth, infusing it with chakra, and



swallowing it, can turn itself into a li!ing bomb capable of de!astating a large swath of

forest.

Cloak of 0n,isi4ilit& Techni$ue

#he loak of "n!isibility #echnique (Kakuremino no Jutsu) allows a ninja to take a cloak

or a piece of cloth and blend into an object, making them in!isible. Ad!anced users canuse the technique without the aid of a cloak or such, blending perfectly into the

surroundings when still, like chamelions.

/idden Camouflage Techni$ue

#he >inja Art7 :iding amouflage #echnique (>inpou7 0eisaigakure no Jutsu) renders

the user in!isible. "t also masks the user4s scent to some degree, making it more difficult

to locate them. 1hile normal people can4t see through it, those with abilities such as the&haringan and the +yakugan can. Additionally, creatures with enhanced senses of smell

(insects or dogs) can pick up on the user4s reduced scent.

Clone Techni$ue#he lone #echnique (+unshin no Jutsu), creates copies of the user. #he clones are

illusonary, and disappear if harmed. #his technique is used for confusing an opponent forthe purpose of decoy, to facilitate an escape (as each clone can go in a different

direction), and for other uses that a user can think of. #he clones are simply illusions and

will dissipate when they come into contact with something. #he illusions can be seenthrough by the +yakugan and the &haringan. A person with normal eyes can also

distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones will not disrupt the area around

themsel!es with their mo!ement (won4t kick up dust, crush grass, etc.).

/a6& (e1lications

#he :a%y 8eplications technique (-boro +unshin no Jutsu) is related to the clone

technique, in that it creates replications of the user for much the same purpose of theclone technique. #he difference is that those clones do not disappear if hit. &trikes and blows go right through them as they are illusory, but they are much more stable chakra

constructs, and as such remain intact e!en if hit.

-ance of the Crescent %oon

#he ance of the rescent 0oon (0ika%uki no 0ai) creates three shadow clones of the

user, which attack along with the user in a complicated sword$dancing pattern to confusethe opponent. #he swords are also able to e/tend to any length.

-eceased Consumed S1irit Techni$ue

#he eceased onsumed &pirit ninja technique (&hisha Kuu4utsu) is a horifying ninpouthat allows the user to meld and fuse together the bodies of se!eral dead people to a

li!ing person, and re!i!e them as a horible creature. #he resulting creature can appear as

the person used as any of the people whose bodies were fused to it, or it can take it4s trueform, a sickening amalgamation of all who were fused to create it. #he creature has all

the knowledge of those fused to create it, including the knowledge of their known jutsus,

and can use those himself. 1hile not truly ali!e, it is not truly dead either, and thereforehas chakra flowing through its twisted form. #he creature is a sla!e of the creator and



wholy e!il, no longer resembling in beha!iour to any of those who comprise it. ach

person making it, can e/tend out to e/ecute attacks known to him. ausing harm and

killing one of the people comprising the creature can cause the base person to regain hisfaculties, breaking the control of the technique4s user, especially if a pleeded to by the

person doing the harm. #here is one way to undo this horrible technique, and that is

killing all the people fused to the base person, at which point he returns to normal shortly.:owe!er, this is simply final release, allowing all who were part of the creature to find

final rest.

-estruction Bug /ost Techni$ue#he estruction +ug :ost #echnique (KikaichI no Jutsu, 9&ymbiose "nsects Jutsu9) is a

symbol of membership to the Aburame clan. 1hen a child is born into the Aburamefamily, their body is offered to insects as a nest. #he bugs, called Kikai, feed and li!e off

the chakra that the body stores and in return the ninja gets to control and command the

bugs, using them as their primary fighting technique. #hese bugs ha!e the ability to drain

chakra through physical contact with the enemy. #hey can also be used for ea!esdropping

or forming defensi!e barriers.Bug Collection Techni$ue

#he +ug ollection or +ug alling #echnique (0ushi Dose no Jutsu) is mainly used bythe Aburame clan, and other shinobi who use insects. #he user places his hand on a

surface in any outdoor area, and e/tends a web of chakra from his fingers along the

surface. As he mo!es his hand along the surface, the chakra web mo!es with it. +ug inthe immediate area, and in the range of the web, flock to it and to the user. #hey stay

calmly on this chakra web, allowing the user the opportunity to inspect each one, and see

if the insects he4s looking for are among the ones that were attracted to the web. +y

cancelling the web, the user frees the bugs. #his technique is useful for finding a particular insect, and also for a more general gathering of insects, as the user can simply

pick the bugs he wants off the web.Bug Clone Techni$ue

<ery similar to the clone technique, the +ug lone #echnique (0ushi +unshin no Jutsu)

allows a bug$user to make a mass of bugs under his control take shape and resemble

himself or another. #he number of clones he can create depends on the the amount of bugs he has under his control, and his le!el of skill. &uch bug clones are, like most clone

techniques, weaker than the real person. -nce struck cleanly, a bug clone breaks into the

bugs that make up its form, but the bugs themsel!es are otherwise unharmed.

Bug Jar Techni$ue

#he +ug Jar #echnique (0ushi Kame no Jutsu) allows the bug$user to to shield himself

by ha!ing bugs fly around him at high speeds to act as a shield from incoming attacks.

Bug 'all Techni$ue#he +ug 1all #echnique (0ushi Kabe no Jutsu) allows a bug$user to use his bugs to

form a protecti!e wall all around him. #he bugs swirl in a sphere around the user (and

possibly se!eral other people) and block attacks, and shred anything organic that touchesthem from the outside. #he damage to a large creature may not be se!ere, but it can be

significant, and it is a perfect defense against bug techniques.

Secret Techni$ue) 0nsect S1here

&ecret #echnique7 "nsect &phere (:ijutsu7 0ushidama). +y using the destruction bugs,



members of the Aburame clan surround their opponent with thousands of bugs, making a

globe of bugs around the opponent beforehand to completely trap them. -nce trapped,

the bugs would normally drain the chakra and swallow their !ictim. #he bugs co!eringthe !ictims body pre!ent mo!ement, but should they escape the bugs will follow them.

Secret Techni$ue) 0nsect Cocoon

Eight Celestial -i,ination Gates

#he ight elestial i!ination 5ates (:achimon #onk ō no Jin) is not e/actly a

and speed increase, but also the danger to his body. ach gate has its own effect, as well

as increasing pre!ious effects.$#he first gate, 5ate of -pening (Kaimon, also known as the "nitial 5ate) releases the brain4s limit on the total strain on the muscles, gi!ing the user fi!e times their normal

strength and chakra.

$#he second gate, 5ate of 8est (Kyūmon, also known as the 5ate of :ealing and the

nergy 5ate) releases the brain's limit on the body's stamina, making abattle%$orn erson become miraculously ready to fight as if the fighthad just started and spurs the body4s healing process.$#he third gate, 5ate of 'ife (&eimon) is located on the spinal cord, and releases the limit

on the ner!ous system, which makes information tra!el at a faster rate and creates e!enmore stamina. As a side effect, the user4s skin turns red (or slightly pinkish in el!es),

indicating an increased blood$o/ygen le!el.$#he fourth gate, 5ate of ;ain (&hōmon, also known as the 1ound 5ate) releasesthe limit on o5ygen intake in the lungs, creating much more o5ygen forthe body to use. At this le!el of gate release, damage beyond mere fatigue can occur.

physical injuries brought about by the surging energy in their body.$#he fifth gate, 5ate of losing (#omon, also known as the 2orest 5ate) releases the limit

on the amount of chakra released at one time, and adds such a boost to the person4s

chakra, that it starts spreading from him in wa!es that disrupt other techniques and chakra

acti!ity in the !icinity. #he risk of this gate (cumulati!e with the pre!ious ones) is totale/haustion and temporary loss of ability to mold chakra after the closing of the gate.

from his body in wa!es disrupting matter and energy around it, pushing both away from

the person, and it can menifest in form or energy (for e/ample, the morning peacocktechnique in!ol!es the user surrounding his arms and legs with chakra, manipulating its

nature to fire). Anyone capable of opening this gate has concei!ably enough control to

o!er :achimon #onk ō to a!oid the all deletrious side effects of opening the gates with

the e/ception of total fatigue, but as the name of this gate implies, openning it inducesgreat euphoria in the user, which may result in loss of control if not reigned in.

$#he se!enth gate, 5ate of &hock (Kyōmon, also known as the "nsanity 5ate)

remo"es the limit on ho$ fast the body can mo"e, remo"es $astes ,from dead skin cells to feces, and gi"es the body a much cleanersystem to $ork $ith, roducing e"en more o$er and stamina. #hose

who open this gate risk losing their sanity, as the amounts of power the user gains andchannels can litteraly dri!e him to madness.

$#he eighth gate, 5ate of eath (&himon) opens the final gate located at the heart and

uses up all of the body4s energy. "t makes the heart pump at ma/imum power and e/ceedsthe power of e!ery other gate. All the energy in e!ery indi!idual cell is used up, gi!ing



more easily, and, if hiting the ground lea!e a flame burning for awhile longer.

#he 2ire 8elease7 2ire +lowing technique (Katon7 5amayu mudan) empowers the userto breath a continuos, long lasting line of fire. #he fire is not as hot as the one created

with other techniques, but it is more efficient on chakra use, and it can last a nice long

duration when compared to other more abrupt fire techniques.Fire (elease) 0ntense +ain

#he 2ire 8elease7 "ntense ;ain (Katon7 Cukokku) is an immensely powerful fire

technique that allows the user to release a giant sea of fire that incinerates e!erything inits path.

Fire (elease) -ragon Fire Techni$ue

#he 2ire 8elease7 ragon 2ire #echnique (Katon7 8yuuka no Jutsu) is a most powerful

fire technique. 1hen in!oked, it engulfs the user4s body completely in bla%ing hot flames=#he flames don4t hurt the user, but he can direct them in a chosen direction as a huge

wide concentrated stream of super hot flames. +eyond the ob!ious effects, the stream of

flame is so powerful and concentrated, that it can literally punch through barriers of thick

wood and e!en simple stone. #he flames are so hot, that with enough e/posure they cansomewhat melt rock.

Fire (elease) Fire -ragon %issile

#he 2ire 8elease7 2ire ragon 0issile jutsu (Katon7 Karyuudan), much like the 5reat

2ireball jutsu, empowers the user to breath fire, but unlike that jutsu, this one does not

create a bla%ing fireball, but instead a super hot stream of flame coming out of the user4smouth. #he flames are so hot that they can easily ignite material, e!en materials that are

not normally flammable. #he third :okage for e/ample can use this technique in

conjunction with the arth ragon 0issile jutsu to create flaming projectiles that also

carry great impact and adhere to the target.

Fire (elease) Fire -ragon Flame %issile

#he 2ire 8elease7 2ire ragon 2lame 0issile jutsu (Katon7 Karyuu ndan), is similar to

the 2ire ragon 0issile, only that the flame breath is longer, bigger, more far$going, andmuch hotter. #he flames emitted by a true fire master are almost white hot.

Linked Fire (elease) Karura

'inked 2ire 8elease7 (Katon 8enkei7 Karura (a man$bird deity of :indu6+udhist myth))is a technique that normally requires at least G participents (hence the linked), but rare

few can perform it alone. #he users each spit a tongue of flame (or one user three tongues

of flame) in the direction of the opponent(s). #he three flame tongues coil around each

other and form a great snaking dragon made of fire which pursues the target(s) andstrikes, creating a huge e/plosion.

Fire (elease) Great -ragon Fire Techni$ue

#he 2ire 8elease7 5reat ragon 2ire #echnique (Katon7 5ouryūka no Jutsu) allows

the user to fire se!eral large dragon shaped fireballs at their opponent. #he techniqueappears to require a lot of chakra to use easily. #his technique appears to be a

combination of the 2ire 8elease7 ragon 2ire #echnique and 2ire 8elease7 5reat 2ireball

#echnique, and an impro!ement on both. "t is apparently e/tremely powerful as it is ableto alter locali%ed weather conditions to the point of making thunder clouds when shot into

the sky. #his works by causing a sudden warmth in the atmosphere, creating an ascending

air current, which forms cumulonimbus, storm clouds. #his technique can also be used as



a setup for Kirin when no clouds are a!ailable.

Four *iolet Flames Battle Encam1ment

#he 2our <iolet 2lames +attle ncampment (&hishi njin, 92our 2lames 2ormation9) is afield creation jutsu that allows the user to create a purple, bo/$like barrier around a gi!en

area that causes anything that touches it to burst into flames. "n addition, the barrier is

impenetrable. #his barrier can be created around the user or a designated target or area,and be made to mo!e with him (if the user so desires). 0ost users of this technique,

howe!er, are incapable of doing it on their own, as only rare indi!iduals can use field

creation techniques on their own. &uch techniques are usually group techniques, requiringse!eral ninjas working together to use them. #his technique normally requires four

people, standing around the area to be enclosed, hence its name. 5ifted users can create

and maintain more than one such field, usually one field within another.

Floer Techni$ues2lower techniques are !ery common in the country of 5reenery, where the many flower

fields inspired the shinobi of that land to de!elop techniques with flowers as a theme.

Floer Shurikens#he 2lower &hurikens technique (:ana &huriken) is an unusual technique that requires

flowers to e/ecute. #he flowers to be used ha!e to be stemless, so all but the pettled topmust be cut away (making this technique useful for a shinobi with a katana in a flower

field). #he user throws the flower in the air, in!okes the technique, and his chakra

hardens the flowers to that of steel and launches them spinning towards the targets of hischoice. #he flower shurikens4 hit is equal to thehit of normal metal shurikens.

Floer Ninja Techni$ue) Glittering Unha11iness

#he 2lower >inja #echnique7 5littering ?nhappiness (:ana >injutsu7 :ikari 2ukou)

sends a stream of flower heads controlled by the user from him toward a spot he chooses.#he flowers spread and float in the air, and begin to glow, shedding light on the

surroundings.Floer Ninja "rt) " /undred Blooming Floers

#he 2lower >inja Art7 A :undred +looming 2lowers (:ana >inpou7 :yakka &eihou) is a

fire jutsu that requires flowers to e/ecute. #he user infuses the flowers with his molded

chakra and throws them (up to one hundred) at his target (flower heads without the stemare enough). ach flower, upon hitting the target, or landing on the ground, e/plodes with

fire to a fi!e foot diameter.

Floer Ninja "rt) Flurr& of a /undred Floers

#he 2lower >inja Art7 2lurry of a :undred 2lower (:ana >inpou7 :yakka 8youran, also

called 9haotic 2ire rift9) is a fire jutsu that creates a number of flaring flames (how

many, depends on the user4s skill) that fly through the air to suround a target of the user4s

choice. After surounding the target, the flames rush toward him, and, as they meet, theyeither lea!e a burning circle of flames, or burst in a flaming e/plosion (user4s choice).

Alternati!ely, the fire can be made to drift along the ground. ither way, it is an

unusually beautiful fire display, due to its circular symetry that creates a kind of fieryflower.

Fl&ing Thunder God Techni$ue

#he 2lying #hunder 5od #echnique (:iraishin no Jutsu) was the signature ability of the



fourth :okage, 0inato >amika%e, and ga!e him the nickname 9#he Dellow 2lash of

Konoha9 (Konoha no K 6roi Senkō). "t allowed him to teleport anywhere without notice

by the use of a special seal. "t allows the user to mo!e himself to another location in the blink of an eye. Although it is often compared with the +ody 2licker #echnique, the

speed of this jutsu is much greater, and the principle behind the 2lying #hunder 5od is

similar to the &ummoning #echnique. #o acti!ate this jutsu, the user needs a special seal or 9Jutsu formula9 (9Jutsu$shiki9) tomark the destination. After this is done, the user can almost instantaneously transport

himself to that location. #he 2ourth applied the formula in ad!ance to weapons such as

kunai. +y gi!ing one such kunai to a person, he can immediately teleport to that person atany time. "t is also possible to lea!e a formula in an area, object or person touched by the

user. 2urthermore, if an object marked with the seal may touch the ground, the user will

immediately know the position of e!eryone close to the object. #his technique also possesses sur!eillance purposes as he can continuously sense where anyone is as long as

the seal is on them. >o matter where an opponent is, he arri!es directly ne/t to them. #he

jutsu is also !ery unique because it requires no use of chakra, due to a special secondary

seal that emits the same chakra as him, allowing him to ha!e an instant connection to thearea.

"t is because of this technique that Konoha came out !ictorious in the "wa$Konoha >inja

1ar. "t is also one of the few non Kekkei 5enkai technique which can4t be followed bythe &haringan and the +yakugan. "t is also a space6time jutsu and is not speed per se, but

teleportation.

Forced Slee1 Techni$ue

#he 2orced &leep #echnique (#anuki >eiri no Jutsu, 9#anuki &leep #echnique9) is used

to force the user into deep sleep. "t is usually used by shinobi who must get rest, butcannot fall asleep. "t has a special purpose for those who are possessed by the &hukaku of

the &and (&una no &hukaku). +y forcing themsel!es asleep, they allow the &hukaku tomenifest its full strength and powers.

Toad Con,ersion Techni$ue

#he #oad on!ersion #echnique (>inpou7 Kaeru Kaeru no Jutsu, 9#oad #ransformation

#echnique9) is a technique only used by Jiraiya and others with ties to the great frog andtoad spirits. ?sing his connection to toads, by touching the forehead of his target, the user

is able to turn them into a frog or toad.

Toad %outh Tra1

#he #oad 0outh #rap (Kuchiyose7 5amaguchi &hibari) technique summons the

esophagus of a great, fire$breathing toad from 0ount 0yoboku around an area (like a

corridor). #hose cought in it sink slightly into th flesh of the 9mouth9, and cannot mo!etheir feet easily. #he user can cause the esophgus to constrict, wobble, and can e!en

create tongues of flesh to lash out at those trapped in it. ;arts of the esophagus can also

be made to spew fire. #he closed area is inescapable, e/cept for the most powerfultechniques. #he esophagus is adepti!e to the area it is summoned in, fitting to the shape

and si%e of closed spaces if called in such.



Fuuma Ninja "rt) Bo7 of %andara

#he 2uuma #echnique7 +o/ of 0andara (2uuma >inpou7 #subaku 0andara) is a

powerful secret technique of the 2uuma clan of Kara$#ur. #he user, after forming thehand seals to mold the chakra, holds his hands in front of him in the direction of his

intended target, forming a triangle with his thumbs and inde/ fingers. "n this triangle, a

triangle of prismatic light forms, and is then shot forward !ery quickly toward the target.#he technique can miss, but its use is usually best against those not capable of mo!ing

quickly enough (because of any reason). "f the prismatic triangle hits its target, a

prismatic, three$sided pyramid shaped chakra prison encases the target. Anyone touchingthis chakra construct from the outside takes a small electrical shock, pre!enting others

from touching it. +y bringing his hands (each one forming half a triangle) closer together,

the user of this technique can cause the chakra prison to shrink down to a the si%e of a

poppy seed, crushing the !ictim to death. #he chakra jail prison is indestructible, and canonly be cancelled by the user. isrupting the user4s technique forcefully can ha!e a dire

consequence$ if his hands are brought too far apart, the prison will e/plode in a !iolent

e/plosion of chakra, causing massi!e damage to the area around it, and anyone in that

area. #he only one completely safe from the e/plosion is the one initially imprisoned, asthe e/plosion spread away from him in all directions.

Gentle Fist#he 5entle 2ist (JIken, Jyuuken, Juuken) style of combat aims to damage the body4s

chakra circulatory system, thus inhibiting an opponent4s use of chakra. 0uch in contrastwith typical #aijutsu style of 5oken, or ferocious fist, which is focused on being insanely

fast and strong, the 5entle 2ist style focuses on being quick and precise, not focusing on

damage. ach strike, when placed correctly, strikes along the keirakurei, which is the

network of !essels that carry chakra. #his network is closely intertwined with thefunctioning of the body4s organs, and so when the keirakurei take damage, the organs

suffer as well. #o do this, the user will forcefully insert a small amount of their ownchakra into an opponent4s chakra circulatory system, causing the targeted area to ruptureor di!ert flow. Alternati!ely, or as an additional effect, the same method can be used to

damage the opponent4s internal organs, to which the chakra circulatory system is closely

tied. !en the slightest tap from this style can cause major damage, hence the name. Asthere is no way to train the internal organs to become stronger, this technique is capable

of causing damage no matter how physically powerful the opponent is. #he only possible

defense is to stop the 5entle fists hits from connecting. +ecause the chakra circulatorysystem is in!isible, the +yakugan is required for this style to be used effecti!ely and thus

it is e/clusi!e to the :yuga clan.

;articularly skilled users of the +yakugan, which appear only rarely, such as >eji

:yuga (and later on, :inata :yuga), can take the Jyūken attacks one ste further.7long the keirakurei are 89E inrick%si2ed nodes called !enketsu, orchakra oints. :hen struck, these tenketsu $ill seal off, $hich closes

the oening oints from $hich chakra is emitted. #hus, with precision, all

those points along the !ictim4s body can be sealed, stopping the chakra flow to thoseareas. 0ost of the :yuga clan cannot e!en perform this because the #enketsu are too

small to see.

#o quickly seal off an opponent4s access to chakra, 5entle 2ist style users can perform



#he ight 5ates +ombardment (Cesshō /achimon /ōgeki) is an e/tremely high

le!el #enketsu attack, this jutsu in!ol!es attacking and closing the ight 5ates. the user

acti!ates his +yakugan and instead of looking for his opponent4s chakra points he attacksthe ight 5ates, apparently designed as a counter to those who can open them and utili%e

the unleashed power.

Eight Trigrams +alms /ea,enl& S1in#he same process that seals off one4s access to chakra can also be used as a shield= withight #rigrams ;alms :ea!enly &pin (:akkeshō 3aiten, 9i!ination 1hirl9 or

9&pinning :ea!ens9), the user releases a huge amount of chakra fromtheir chakra oints (called 9#enketsu9) $hen in danger of being attacked. !he released chakra blocks any ossible attack, and the user need onlysin themsel"es raidly to arry the attack, both creating a shield ofchakra around themsel"es and tossing a$ay any $ould%be attacker.

>ormally, controlling the amount of hakra released from the hakra holesis hard, ande!en a Jounin can only release a small amount from his hands and feet for a special

mo!e. +ut a master of Jyuuken can release hakra from his entire body and completely

nullify physical attacks with his hakra4s centrifugal force. #he greater the user4s skill is,the larger and more powerful he can make the chakra shield. :owe!er, the :ea!enly &pin is only effecti!e when rotating. hakra itself is not enough

to stop a physical attack, unless it is e/tremely concentrated, such as when the demon fo/

enhances >aruto. &ince such concentration is impossible with the :yuga members, theymust rotate in order to ma/imi%e the deflection. "f the rotation stops, they become

!ulnerable once again.

Eight Trigrams Em1t& +alm

#he ight #rigrams mpty ;alm technique or Air ;alm (:akke K ūshō) was created by

>eji :yuga. #he technique is an impro!ement o!er the 5entle 2ist style of combat, withwhich the user can e/pell chakra from his palm to attack opponents out of his physical

reach. #he user e/pells energy from his palms, pushing his opponent forcefully back. #heattack can be made powerful enough to shatter trees and rocks if need be (with all implieduses). #o put it more accurately, this technique is similar in practice to ight #rigrams

:ea!enly &pin, but has a specific target rather than a general area.

Eight Trigrams %ountain Crusher

#he ight #rigrams 0ountain rusher (:akke :asangeki) is a powerful Juuken mo!e

where the user thrusts at his opponent at point blank range, and releases a !ery large

amont of chakra from his palm, causing a lot of damage and throwing the opponent far

back with great force. #his mo!e is more than enough to shatter rock. "n a way its like afocused !ariation of ight #rigrams ;alms :ea!enly &pin.

Eight Trigrams Crum4ling %ountain Bom4ardment

#he ight #rigrams rumbling 0ountain +ombardment (:akke :a%an :ougeki) is ane/tremely powerful attack where the user strikes the enemy4s !ital area while dischargig

his chakra within the enemy4s body until it bursts from the back in the form of a small

thin beam that rapidly enlarges into a massi!e mountain destroying wa!e of chakra."t isalmost always fatal.

/ea,en.s -ance of /a6& 'hite

An in!ention of :inata :yuuga, the :ea!en4s ance of :a%y 1hite (:akur ō !enbu) is

a powerful attack in which the user focuses so much chakra in his two hands that they



turn light with chakra. #he user takes se!eral swipes at the enemy with his hands, and

combining with a clash with both his hands, he makes a great burst enough to make the

opponent fly off se!eral feet.

Gentle Ste1 Tin Lion Fists

"n the 5entle &tep #win 'ion 2ists (Jūho Sōshiken), the user forms two large lion$like

shrouds of chakra around their hands, then thrusts them forward at the opponent. #he jutsu seems to be performed in a spinning manner to confuse and throw off theopponent4s aim. #he lion shrouds add alot of power to the user4s attacks, as well as

increase the the likelyhood of striking an opponent (the fist itself need not strike the

target, as the shroud arround it has tangibility of it4s own. #his is comparable to sagemode4s manipulation of natural energy around the user4s body).

+rotection of the Eight Trigrams Si7t&!Four +alms

#he ;rotection of the ight #rigrams &i/ty$2our ;alms or i!ine ;rotection7 &i/ty$2our&trikes (&hugo :akke 8okujū Don Shō, 95uardian of ight i!ination &eals7 &i/ty

2our &trikes9) is a technique of :inata :yuga4s in!ention, a combination of the :yugaclan4s more powerful techniques. 1ith it, :inata emits a constant stream of chakra from

her palms, creating e/tremely sharp blades of chakra that e/tend from her hands, and thatshe can use to hit any target in her +yakugan4s field of !ision. ue to the speed at whichthese blades mo!e as well as the amount of control she has o!er them, :inata can use this

technique to attack and defend simultaneously in a sphere of G*F degrees. +y making the

blades either sharper, larger, stronger, more fle/ible, or any combination thereof throughcontrol of the chakra release, she, and other users, can take on larger and more powerful

opponents and creatures with them, and protect against greater threats.

God of the Night.s Lightning Techni$ue

#he 5od of the >ight4s 'ightning #echnique (>inpou7 Doraishin) is a trap jutsu. #he user

throws many nails on the ground and in!okes the technique. #he nails burrow in the

ground and are now under the user4s control. Against anyone who steps on the nail$imbeded ground, the user can cause nails to sprout out, impailing their feet. #he nails can

return into the ground, awating other targets. Alternati!ely, the user can, by forming the

dragon seal, cause all the nails to shoot out of the ground at once, at any target or targetsof his choice.

/idden Shado Snake /and#he :idden &hadow &nake :and technique (&en$ei Jashu) in an odd yet effecti!e

technique. #his !ersatile technique allows the user to create up to four snakes that lash

out from his forearm. #he snakes can e/tend quite far, making the technique an up to

medium range one. #he snakes can be used to attack, as they carry quite an impact

(capable of breaking through up to medium thickness wooden barriers), in addition to thefact they can bite the target and deli!er a potent !enom. #he snakes can also be used in

!aried utilitarian ways= #hey can wrap around a person and retract back into the user4sforearm, pulling the target closer, they can latch to a high spot, and pull the user up, etc.

#his technique is a signature of many of -rochimaru4s followers, past and present.

Countless /idden Shado Snake /ands

'ike #he :idden &hadow &nake :and, the ountless :idden &hadow &nake :ands

(&en4ei #ajashu) is only different in the fact that it creates many snakes and not just four,



entwining around each other to form a massi!e black tornado of icy wind

0ce (elease) 'olf ",alanche Techni$ue

#he "ce 8elease7 1olf A!alanche #echnique (:youton7 8ouga >adare no Jutsu) is a powerful technique that allows the user to create a snow a!alanche. 2rom the snow form

tiger made of ice, that can be used to attack enemies. "t is so cold that it can free%e water

with a touch, cause chills and numbness to li!ing creatures it touches, and has a fierce

bite and impact.

0m1ortant Bod& +oints -istur4ance Techni$ue

#he "mportant +ody ;oints isturbance (8anshinshō) allows the user to con!ert a small

amount of chakra into electricity. -nce opponents are struck by this technique, the

electrical flow of signals from their brain to the rest of their body is disrupted, such as

causing their leg to mo!e when they attempt to mo!e their arm. #his does not totallyincapacitate the !ictim, howe!er, as a person with enough physical control can work the

system out (re$learning to mo!e their limbs with the disrupted signals) and continue

fighting with only a delay in reaction times.

Ji6ou of Needles#he ninja art of the Ji%ou of >eedles (>inpou, :ari Ji%ou, 9>eedle 5uardian9) causes the

hair of the user to lengthen and spike like a hedgehog4s needles= #he hair then enshroudsthe user as a prtecti!e shell, lea!ing only the face e/posed. Anyone striking the user in

close combat gets damaged and e!en impaled by the needles. #his technique is meant to

discourage any attempts at close combat.

"rt of the Wild Lion's Mane Technique#he Art of the 1ild 'ion4s 0ane #echnique (8anji &higami no Jutsu) causes the user4shair to lengthen, and allows him to use it to capture or attack his foes.#he hair becomes

strong as steel, able to cut tear, and lacerate with great force. #he user can e!en form an

e/tension into a lion$like maw to attack a target.

Lightning Techni$ues'ightning techniques are jutsus that mold chakra to create an electrical current, usuallyfor the purpose of attack. #hey are efficient techniques when it comes to the con!ersion

of chakra to energy, nesceserily cheap in the amount of chakra they consume. ach case

is different though, and it depends on the power le!el of the technique.

Lightning Ball

#he 'ightning +all technique (8aikyuu) allows the user to launch a ball of electricity at



an opponent, both causing damage, disrupting the target4s mo!ements for a few moments

(due to electrical spasms), and knocking him back a few yards if he is close enough to the

user.

Lightning (elease) Ground Flash

#he 'ightning 8elease7 5round 2lash (8aiton7 hibashiri) technique allows the user to

channel a stunning current of electricity along an object that can conduct it, e!en theearth, towards a target in contact with the conducting medium.

Lightning (elease) Electromagnetic %urder

#he 'ightning 8elease7 lectromagnetic 0urder (8aiton7 Jibashi) technique allows theuser to release strong electrical currents from his hands to strike a target. ?pon hitting,

electricity flares around the target for awhile longer, causing further damage.

Lightning S1eed

'ightning &peed (enkousekka) creates a ground tra!eling lightning stroke that is !erystrong, and can not only seriously damage anyone it hits but also creates a trail of broken

earth in its wake and can break through walls of wood and stone.

Lightning (elease) Fl&ing Thunder God

#he 'ightning 8elease7 2lying #hunder 5od (8aiton7 :iraishin) technique allows theuser to engulf his body briefly with a shroud of lightning, causing anyone touching him

or too close to him to take damage and be thrown away from the user.

to shoot out twin forks of lightning at one or two targets.

Lightning "rmor

#he 'ightning Armor technique (8aigeki no Doroi) allows the user to enshroud himself

with electrical energy. Anyone hitting the user in close combat gets electricuted. After a

few strikes, the energy of the armor is completely discharged, and it !enishes. #he more powerful the user, and the more chakra he in!ests in the technique, themore energy the

armor has, and the more strikes can be countered with lightning retribution. #he armoralso has the effect of lessening the power of strikes landed on the user somewhat, and it

pro!ides some protection against energy attacks made against the user.

Lightning (elease) Thunder Binding

#he 'ightning 8elease7 #hunder +inding (8aiton7 Kaminari &hibari) technique require

the user to surround the target with three long metal poles planted in the ground. #hetechnique once in!oked creates a blue energy barrier between each two poles and

between their three top points, trapping the target in all directions but down.

Lightning (elease) Binding of Four +illars

'ightning 8elease7 +inding of 2our ;illars (8aiton7 hichuu &hibari) allows the user to

stun the target with electrical currents that dance around the target. #he lightning than

raises four pillars of stone from the ground which focus it on the target causing massi!e

electricution. #he technique scales with the user4s power, allowing the user to use it onsmall targets as well as gargantuan ones.

Lightning (elease) Binding of Si7teen +illars

&imilar to +inding of 2our ;illars, 'ightning 8elease7 +inding of &i/teen ;illars (8aiton7Juurokchuu &hibari) bo/es a target in a prison of si/teen sone pillars that closes at the top

as well.

Lightning (elease) Shado Clone



lightning can reach a temperature of GF,FFFL, so that e!en if it misses the target, the

si%able blast will likely eliminate the enemy. #he lightning forms the shape of a kirin

(hence the name) that charges and strikes the target of the user4s choice.

Lightning (elease) Limelight

#he 'ightning 8elease7 'imelight (8aiton7 'imelight) is a technique regarded as the

greatest lightning$element technique in history. 2our people, lightning masters all theymust be, enclose an area from the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west),

and resuce it to ash in an instant. -nce they ha!e reached their positions, each in!okes the

technique, and a column of lightning forms around him or her. -nce all four in!oke thetechnique, the four columns of lightning surrounding them bend toward a point abo!e the

center of the area and meet. A massi!e lightning bolt then shoots toward the ground

straight down from the meeting point of the four columns of lightning, and from the point

of impact blossoms an e/panding sphere of lightning that incinerates e!erything in theenclosed area.

Li,ing Cor1se (eincarnation

#he 'i!ing orpse 8eincarnation (2ushi #ensei), de!eloped by -rochimaru, allows himto transfer his mind to someone else4s body. "f repeated periodically, it basically grants

the user immortality as long as the user can find new host bodies. -rochimaru can only perform this technique once e!ery three years. "t also seems that when the three years are

almost o!er, he is forced to mo!e into another host, as the pre!ious one begins to reject

him. ;resumably, if he had a proper container, he could stay in the host for a full lifetime.#he fact that he wants to prepare &asuke ?chiha for the transfer before performing it

seems to reinforce this. "t is possible that -rochimaru can use the cursed seals of :ea!en

and arth to make his transfers permanent.

%agic Lantern Bod& Techni$ue

#he 0agic 'antern +ody #echnique (5entōshin no Jutsu) allows one to sit down and

send out 9thought wa!es9, con!erted into chakra. #hese thought wa!es are then picked up

by a chosen main user, acting as a kind of control tower. #his technique amplifies thethought wa!es and broadcasts them to a specific location through illusionary bodies. #he

illusionary bodies differ from being mere reflections. 1hile the main user is relaying the

members4 thoughts, they can ha!e con!ersation and use !arying techniques. #hese !irtual images look like the ones they represent, the only difference being that

they are standing up with their hands in a seal. #he images are also transparent, sa!e for

the eyes and are constantly refracting an array of spectral colors, much like a rainbow.

%a&fl& Techni$ue) E1hemeralit&

#he 0ayfly #echnique7 phemerality (Kagerou >inpou7 ?takata), is a last resort,

forbidden, almost suicidel technique, in which the user takes a faery$like appearance. #heuser still looks like himself, only far more beautiful to behold= :e gains glittering wings

of blue light, and the ability to fly. -nce in this form, the user completes the technique.

-nce the last seals are formed, the wings flare with pure chakra, that lashes out at thetarget of the user4s choice. #here is no way to a!oid this chakra blast which anihilates the

target upon hitting. #he only way to defend against this technique is with the use of a

powerful enough ultimate defense, like the :ea!enly &pin, or any other technique that



pro!ides a strong full co!er. -nce the technique is done, the user can as a last act turn to

energy and transport himself and se!eral others (the number of additional people depends

on the power of the user) to another location that he knows of. -nly !ery strong peoplecan remain ali!e after using this jutsu, as it drains the user almost completely from

chakra, releasing it in a bla%e of glory.

%ega +alm Thrust

#he 0ega ;alm #hrust (hou :arite) technique is a jutsu that uses precise chakra control

and release. #he jutsu allows the user to focus a large amount of chakra in the palms ofhis hands and then release it while thrusting his palms to the ground, creating a concusi!e

shockwa!e around him.

%ind Bod& Sitch Techni$ue#he 0ind +ody &witch #echnique (&hintenshin no Jutsu) is the signature ability of the

Damanaka clan. 1ith it, the user sends their mind into a target4s body (human or animal),

supplanting the target4s mind with their own. #hough normally used as a spying jutsu, it

can also be used in battle with se!eral major drawbacks. 2irst, the user4s spirit tra!elsslowly, in a straight line, making it easy to dodge. "f the user misses their target, they are

left helpless until their spirit returns to their body, which takes se!eral minutes. &econd,e!en if the technique does work, the user4s ability to stay in an enemy4s body is

determined by how fatigued they are. #he user can be forced out if facing a strong

enough will, are too tired, or if the target is in incredible pain. 2inally, the user4s bodyfeels any pain that the target feels while possessed, and any damage the user suffers while

possessing another is transferred to their original body. #herefore, if the target dies, so

does the user. #his is the lowest le!el of this technique. #he known highest form of this

jutsu allows to enter the opponent4s body while staying in control of their own body, andthe user does not get harmed unless their original body is attacked.

%ind Confusion Techni$ue#he 0ind onfusion #echnique, +ody #raitor #echnique, or 0anipulation #echnique(&hinranshin no Jutsu) allows the user to confuse another4s mind causing him to do things

against his will, attacking a friend for e/ample (this is the choice of the jutsu4s user, as he

manipulates the target4s body). #he target of the jutsu does not ha!e his mind taken o!erlike in the case of the 0ind +ody &witch technique, but he does lose proper control o!er

his actions to the user. #he user can metally control the target4s actions. ?nlike the 0ind

+ody &witch technique which is more of a spying technique, this one is !ery suited forcombat, allowing the user to turn an opponent physically against his comrades. #his

technique does require concentration to maintain control o!er another4s body. &omeone

strong enough can concei!ably fight against this control and break free, although it would

take someone !ery strong.

%ind.s E&e of the Kagura

#he 0ind4s ye of the Kagura (Kagura &hingan or 0ind4s ye of the i!inentertainment) allows the user to find, sense, and track indi!iduals through their chakra

o!er !ast range. #his is done by closing one4s eyes and opening the mind4s eye. #he

ability e/tends to telling when a person is lying from the fluctuations in a person4s chakramade from dishonest emotions or if someone is under a genjutsu. Also by focusing on a



particular chakra, the user can percei!e its location and mo!ement with great detail.

%irrored Sudden "ttacker Techni$ue

#he 0irrored &udden Attacker #echnique (Kyōmen Shūja no Jutsu) is a double trap

laid under the 2i!e &eal +arrier. #his technique is automatically started when the

92orbidden9$tags are remo!ed. An e/act copy of the person who remo!ed the tag willappear with their appearance, battle skills, and so on. +ecause the double has a fi/edamount of stamina, it has an ad!antage in a drawn$out battle. "n order to cancel this

technique, the one who remo!ed the tag has no choice but to somehow become stronger

than they were at the time they remo!ed it.

%ist Ser,ant Techni$ue

#he 0ist &er!ant #echnique (Kasumi Jūsha no Jutsu) creates clones that phase in and

out of the ground as if they were made of a blackish, oil$like liquid. 1hen attacked, the

clones regenerate themsel!es. #he clones can be controlled to make it seem as if they4rethrowing kunai. #he user can then time their attacks with those of the clones.

%okuton#he 0okuton (91ood 8elease9) jutsu are techniques that combine earth and water$based

chakra to create plants, specifically trees of !arying si%e and shape. 0okuton techniques

can be produced from anywhere, including the user4s body, as the user4s chakra is literallycon!erted into a source of life. #he 2irst :okage, the first known possessor of the

technique, this Kekkei 5enkai, used the ability to grow the trees that ser!ed as the

foundation of Konohagakure, the primary reason for his being gi!en the title of :okage.

After the 2irst4s death, Damato (real name$ #en%ou), along with *F other children, wasinjected with the 2irst4s >A in an attempt by -rochimaru to replicate the ability.

Damato sur!i!ed the e/periment and is the only known li!ing user of 0okuton. 0okuton

can be used for subtle things as well, such as growing wood from the user4s body for allkinds of purposes (like growing wood slowly from a finger attached to a key hole to form

the right key for the lock). #he user can make wood grown directly from his body and

still attached to him to recede back into his body, lea!ing no trace behind. +ecause Damato is the only current owner of the 0okuton ability, many of its

associated jutsu ha!e been e/clusi!ely used by him. :e most commonly creates copies of

himself or barriers to be used as defense. 2or more elaborate purposes, Damato can createhouses complete with such basic features as doors, windows, and balconies. A possibly

unrelated technique, but unique to the 2irst and Damato, is the ability to suppress a tailed

beast4s influence o!er its host. #his is done by producing wooden poles from the ground

that attach to the host and force the tailed beast4s chakra to recede. #he 2irst :okage4s

crystal necklace aids in this technique4s e/ecution. #he necklace is a chakra crystal thatresponds to the 2irst4s chakra.

'ood (elease (e1lacement

#he 1ood 8elease 8eplacement (0okuton Kawarimi) technique is just like the normal

replacement technique, e/cept the user creates the replacement himself from wood, and if

he creates it in his own shape, it can act as a decoy for a moment or two.

'ood (elease Transformation

#he 1ood 8elease #ransformation (0okuton :enge) is a special transformation



technique where the user surrounds himself with grown wood that transforms to a shape

of his choice. "t is a technique well suited for transforming into people who carry or wear

special equipment, especialy if it is large and comple/ (like a puppeteer who is inside alarge puppet that acts as a shell, the way &asori was), as the wood can be transformed into

those things. #his technique only transforms the wood, not the user himself, but because

of that it can be used for transforming into !ery large things beyondthe scope of thenormal transformation technique.

'ood Clone Techni$ue

#he 1ood lone #echnique (0oku +unshin no Jutsu) makes wood grow from theground or directly from the user4s body. #his wood takes the shape of the user and then

seperates from him, becoming a clone of the user. #his clone has chakra like a shadow

clone and can use 0okuton techniques. "t can also merge with wooden objects big

enough to contain it (like trees), making it perfect for spying in certain terrain types and places abundent with wood (in the form of objects and plants). #he user can sense the

location of this clone and can also dismiss it in a unique way, turning it back to wood by

touch, and making it shrink until it turns into a seed. +y placing such seeds on other

people, or making people swallow them, the user can sense the location of these people inrelation to him. &uch seeds resonate with the user4s chakra, allowing him to sense them

and track their locations.

'ood (elease) Great Forest Techni$ue

#he 1ood 8elease7 5reat 2orest #echnique (0okuton7 aijurin no Jutsu) changes the

user4s arm into wood. #hen, by acti!ating the wood, stimulating it to grow rapidly, itlengthens at high speed and forks into many branches (if the user so chooses). "t is

possible to capture the enemy with these branches and at the same time, if one changes

the ends into sharp stakes, turn them into countless, sharp, spear$like piercing weapons.

#hese can also be used to intercept mo!ing objects and projectiles. #he user can retractthe branches back into his body, thus regaining a measure of the chakra used for the

technique, or he can detach the wooden branches from his body quickly if mobility is

required.

Four Column +rison Techni$ue

#he 2our olumn ;rison #echnique (&hichuurou no Jutsu) is a technique that allows he

user to grow from the ground a rectangular wooden cage. #he cage is huge and springsfrom the ground almost instantly, making this a !ery good capture technique.

'ood (elease) 'ood Locking 'all

#he 1ood 8elease7 1ood 'ocking 1all (0okuton7 0okujou :eki) technique allows the

user to grow from the ground thick, conca!e plates of wood that join together, two at atime, to quickly form a wooden semi$dome around and infront of the user (and possible

allies), protecting him from physical harm. 1ith greater control and skill, one can create

a complete dome or e!en a sphere (half of which would be underground).

'ood (elease) Four +illar /ouse Techni$ue

#he 1ood 8elease7 2our ;illar :ouse #echnique (0okuton7 &hichūka no Jutsu) is a

more comple/ wood release technique that allows the user to create a four sided building

of the shape of his choice. #he technique causes wood to grow from the ground andconform to the shape the user chooses. "t can comple/ enough to include doors, stairs,

se!eral floors, furniture, and e!en designs. "t is a !ersatile technique that can be used for

utility, con!eniance and e!en defense.



to use it in colaboration with others of at least adequate skill.

%ulti!Si6e Techni$ue#he 0ulti$&i%e #echnique (+aika no Jutsu, 9#he Art of /pansion9) is the signature

ability of the Akimichi clan. #he ability increases the user4s body si%e (as well as their

clothing) by using up their stored food energy, con!erting calories into chakra. Akimichiclan members tend to eat fattening foods and ha!e large physiques in order to support this

technique. Akimichi often used their increased si%e to perform other jutsu, taking

ad!antage of their bigger mass to make their attacks more potent. #he proportions thatthe user4s body increases to seems to depend on the le!el of e/pertise.

/uman Bullet Tank

#he :uman +ullet #ank (>ikudan &ensha) is a jutsu passed down in the Akimichi clan.After the user uses 0ulti$&i%e #echnique to make themsel!es into a human$si%ed ball,

they tuck their limbs inside their clothes and use chakra to propel themsel!es into a

powerful, but slow, roll. "t has an impro!ement, the &piked :uman +ullet #ank (>ikudan

:ari &ensha), in which the user wraps himself in kunai tied to strings to make it more

damaging. #he kunai also make him mo!e faster since he has more traction than in hisnormal ball form.

+artial %ulti!Si6e Techni$ue

#he ;artial 0ulti$&i%e #echnique (+ubun +aika no Jutsu) allows the user to increase the

si%e of just part of his body, like an arm, both elongating the part of the body, and

increasing its si%e, mass, and strength. &o, an arm, for e/ample, would be capable ofde!astating and less a!oidable attacks. #his technique is more rapid, allowing for faster

growth and shrink back.

Su1er %ulti!Si6e Techni$ue

#he &uper 0ulti$&i%e #echnique (hou +aika no Jutsu), is similar to the normal 0ulti$&i%e jutsu, e/cept it has ten times the effect of the normal one, turning e!en a no!ice user

of this series of techniques into a !eritable giant. "t also increases the si%e of anythingthey might happen to be wearing or holding.

Butterfl& Bullet Bom4ing

#he +utterfly +ullet +ombing (hōdan Bakugeki) is a taijutsu technique which

utili%es the red Akimichi food pill. #he pill should only be used as a last resort as it

con!erts the e/cess fat into chakra. #his is useful for the Akimichi clan, as the members,who tend to be o!erweight, can burn off enough fat to increase their strengtha a hundred

fold. 1hen the clan member focuses all their chakra to one hand, it will carry an

e/plosi!e amount of impact when it connects on their opponent. #his is a last resortfinishing mo!e.

%urderous Gras1#he 0urderous 5rasp (Ayame #ori) technique is part of a set of unusual jutsus that

require the user to use a strong and long loop of string. #he user holds the loop with both

hands and makes different patterns with it (like the game 95ranny Knits9)= #hese patterns

are the substitution for the hand seals that are normally required to mold chakra to form a jutsu. #he string is also the required medium for this type of techniques, that are mostly

concerned with cutting and se!ering, and from it the technique is e/ecuted. #his

particular jutsu creates a thin beam of light that shoots forward, and is capable of cutting



through anything it passes through, or that passes through it.

%&sterious +eacock %ethod

#he 0ysterious ;eacock 0ethod (Kujaku 0youhou) is a !ersatile and powerful jutsu.

1hen in!oked, it forms the user4s chakra as a peacock4s tail emenating from the user4s

back. #he user can use the chakra 9peacock tail9 for defensi!e, offensi!e, and utilitarian purposes. "t is a technique encompassing an entire series of abilities, and is almost as

powerful as a bloodline limit. #his technique was de!eloped in the :idden &tar <illage

(:oushigakure), and is a secret and e/clusi!e technique to the shinobi of this !illage. 2irst of all, this method allows the user to intercept incoming attacks, blocking,

deflecting, and e!en reflecting (ranged weapon attacks) the attacks by flinging the tail at

them (not so different from the Kaiten defense of the 5entle 2ist). 1hether he is capable

of mere blocking, deflection, or outright reflection of attacks depends on the le!el of skillthe user has with the method.

&econd, the user can also attack with this jutsu, making the tail scatter. 1hen doing so,

each 9feather9 of the tail can be made to e/tend and lash at a direction of the user4s

choice, allowing the user to attack multiple opponents in multiple directions at once. #hechakra feathers can slice at enemies like blades. Alternati!ly, people can be grappled,

constricted, and e!en strangled with the chakra feathers. -ne caught by the streams ofchakra emenating from the user, the target can become the subject of a special powerful

form of control e/erted by the user, assuming he is powerful enough to do it. As a bound

person is in direct contact with the user4s chakra, the user can synchroni%e with the boundopponent4s chakra, controlling his mind and body to make him say or do anything. #his is

a most powerful ability only few who know this jutsu can perform. A different form of

attack merges some of the feathers together, forming a psuedopod that can lash and ram

at targets. #wo of those can be formed simultaneously. "n contrast, more delicate ways ofdealing with an enemy can be done, by forming the chakra into strings that can bind the

opponent. #he user can also in!oke a Kemono (9beast9) attack, channelling chakra from

the tail that takes the form of a !ery large !ersion of any creature the user can think of.#he creature is a chakra construct, and it is e!ident to !iewers, looking as ethereal as the

peacock tail, but ha!ing solidity as a material creature, though imper!ious to physical

attacks. #hat creature can be made to attack with whate!er natural attack a creature of itskind possesses. #wo such creatures can be created at the same time, and by in!oking an

9Agony9 attack, the user can make the two merge into one huge creature. #hese chakra

creatures are always conected to the tail. #he !arious forms of attack, in the order they

are mentioned, require an increasing amount of skill with the method. #he #hird use of this technique allows for tra!el, retrie!al, and utilitarian purposes. #he

user can grab people and objects with the indi!idual feathers, and pull them toward him.

#he user can latch with the chakra feathers onto tree branches and cliff faces to assist himin climbing. #he chakra can be used to mo!e and lift objects telekineticaly. #he le!el of

precision and the si%e and weight of the objects that can be mo!ed and lifted depend on

the user4s skill and power. &ince the user can sync his chakra with another4s throughtouch, a limited form of healing can be used by the user, as he uses his chakra to gi!e

strength and re!i!e another. An ad!anced scatter form allows the user to form two large

chakra wings that allow him to fly, although each function of this mar!elous jutsu, as

mentioned before, requires more skill to use. >o!ice users of the technique can only



defend and make a simple scatter attack, but as they grow in skill, they gain more abilities

with the technique.

%&stical +alm Techni$ue#he 0ystical ;alm #echnique (&hōsen no Jutsu) is a multiurose techniue

that can heal $ounds and erform surgery. !o heal $ith the ability,users collect chakra to their hand to seed u cell regeneration$here"er it is alied. 2or the latter, the user focuses their chakra into a blade to

make cuts where necessary, though because the blade is made of chakra the flesh is ne!er

cut. #his aspect of the ability can be used in combat, though it requires great precision to

be effecti!e. 1hen utili%ed in combat it allows the user to se!er their opponent4s musclefibers or their chakra circulatory system at the point of contact. -ther ad!anced uses of

the ability include reacti!ating dead cells in a concentrated area and grow new ones4

which allows immediate reco!ery from injuries, drawing poison from a wound,

transplanting organs (like in the case of Kakashi4s &haringan eye), and temporarilyreanimating a corpse for use as an ally or a decoy. A !ery dark and powerful aspect of

this technique is the ability to integrate another4s remains into one4s body as a means to become more powerful by absorbing the traits and special powers (e!en Kekkei 5enkai). As for healing, it is !ital to match the amount of chakra used to the se!erity of the

affliction or injury. #his requires a great amount of chakra control. +ecause of this, only a

few highly skilled medical$nin are able to use this technique. +y sending an e/cessamount of chakra into the patient4s body, the user can o!erload the patient4s normal

circulation, trapping them in a comatose state. Although this is usually undesirable, it can

gi!e a medical$nin the ability to incapacitate opponents in combat with just a touch.

Chakra Scal1el

#he hakra &calpel (hakra no 0esu) technique forms one4s chakra into a small, sharp

blade. #his can then be used for highly accurate incisions necessary for surgeries and

anatomical dissections. ?nlike regular scalpels, the chakra scalpel can actually make cutsinside the body without actually creating an open wound, limiting the risks of an

infection.

#he chakra scalpel can also be used offensi!ely, although it requires great precision to beeffecti!e. +ecause of this requirement, using the chakra scalpel offensi!ely is highly

unusual. "n heated combat, e!en the greatest medical$nin won4t be able to e/ert the

precision needed to make fatal cuts, but it can still effecti!ely cuts muscle tissues andtendons, rendering the target immobile.

+oison E7traction Techni$ue

#he ;oison /traction #echnique (okunuki no Jutsu) allows the user to use their chakra

and a globe of water touched to the target4s body to literally pull poisons out from the

cells in another4s body, requiring precision control on the part of the user to a!oid causinginternal injury to their patient. #he poison is drawn into the globe of water maintained by

the user.

/ealing (esuscitation (egeneration Techni$ue

#he :ealing 8esuscitation 8egeneration #echnique (hikatsu &aisei no Jutsu) uses a part

of the patient4s body as a medium to heal their wounds. "t requires an almost room$wideseal and a lot of time to complete. #he medic$nin on hand actually ha!e to trade places

after tiring, indicating just how long it takes. "t is used to fully heal e!en the most se!ere



and life threatening wounds.

Secret /ealing 'ound -estruction

#he &ecret :ealing 1ound estruction ("n4yu &hōmetsu) technique allows the user to

concentrate their chakra to an area on their body and begin the cell recreation process the

!ery moment the targeted area becomes damaged, in effect, gaining a regenerati!e

ability. "t should be noted that though this technique is e/tremely effecti!e at decreasingthe time that the user requires to reco!er it is not perfect. -ne, it is limited to the user4schakra capacity and two, attacks that deli!er an e/treme amount of damage (i.e.

8asengan) produce damage that e/ceed this techniques ability to negate it, lea!img the

user still weakened and too hurt to do anything more e/cessi!e than walking.

Bod& "cti,ate Techni$ue

#he +ody Acti!ate #echnique (>ikutai Kassei no Jutsu) is a high le!el medical ninjutsu.

&imilar to the &ecret :ealing 1ound estruction technique, this jutsu allows the user tosur!i!e any otherwise normally fatal damage and instantly heal from the damage. A

unique trait of this jutsu is that it can momentarily gi!e the user the appearance of death.

1hen combined with high le!els of chakra, this jutsu can also be used to physically

enhance the person to superhuman le!els of speed, strength, and healing might.-ead Soul Techni$ue

#he ead &oul technique (&hik ūn no Jutsu) is a jutsu related to the 0ystical ;alm jutsu.

"t allows the user to reanimate and control a recently dead corpse for about an hour by

getting its heart to beat. #his reanimated corpse is infused with the user4s chakra, and isunder his full control. #his animated corpse can be used as an ally or a decoy, to fight or

simply perform !arious tasks.

Genesis of (e4irth

A unique medical jutsu of #sunade4s creation, creation rebirth (&ō2ō Saisei, 90itotic

8egeneration9), once acti!ated, heals any and all damage to the target4s body

instantaneously and continues to heal at an accelerated rate for the duration of the jutsu.

1hile an e/tremely powerful healing technique, the rapid regeneration of cells cuts downon one4s lifespan, making it a technique to only be used in desperate situations. 1hethereused on self or another, it also uses up the user4s chakra reser!es, lea!ing him unable to

fight once the jutsu ends.

#ne.s #n Life (eincarnation Techni$ue

#he -ne4s -wn 'ife 8eincarnation #echnique (Kishō #ensei no Jutsu) is an in!ention of

hiyo. 1hen used, a blue energy emenates from the user4s hands as he transfers from hislife energy to another. "t allows the user to bring a dead person to life. 1ith this

technique, one could e!en bring a puppet to life. #he cost, howe!er, is one4s own life, an

equal e/change. #he technique can also be used for healing, e!en for critical wounds thatare beyond the healing of other techniques. "n such a case, when the target is still ali!e,

but critically wounded, the user does not lose his life, and the life energy he gi!es

regenerates o!er time.

0nk +aintings Techni$ues"nk ;aintings #echniques are a set of ninjutsu techniques that require great artistic skills,mainly drawing and painting.

Ninja "rt) Great Beast +aintings

#he >inja Art7 5reat +east ;aintings (>inpou7 houjuu 5iga) is a most unusual



technique. 2or its e/ecution, the user needs se!eral things7 an artistic ability, a blank

scroll, ink and a brush or pen. #he user draws beast and animal paintings of any kind on

the scroll, and, using this technique, he can mold chakra into the paintings and animatethem, making them leap out of the scroll as three dimensional creatures that do his

bidding. #hey can be used for attack and other purposes. "f defeated, the beasts break

down into ink. #his technique is !ery useful and !ery !ersatile= #he user can, fore/ample, draw large predators for attack, a snake to tie and bind one or more enemies,

many small mice to spread and search for something or someone of his choice, a large

bird to carry him aloft, a small bird to carry a message, and much more. #he user can alsotransform words he writes on his scroll into small animals that seek out their target and

re!ert back to words upon arri!al, gi!ing him the ability to communicate easily o!er long

distances.

0nk Clone

An e/tension of the 5reat +east ;aintings technique, the "nk lone (&umi +unshin)

technique allows the user to paint himself on a scroll and animate the painting as an

identical clone. 'ike any real clone, it can be used for reconnaissance, aid in battle, decoy

and more. 'ike the great beast paintings, if the clone is struck cleanly, it breaks back toink. #his clone, made from a small amount of ink, carrying chakra, is different from the

ordinary lone #echnique in that it has actual substance and mass, making it difficult tosee through.

0nk %ist Techni$ue

&imilar to the +ody 2licker #echnique, using the "nk 0ist #echnique (&umigasumi noJutsu), the user wraps their body in chakra$infused ink to hide themsel!es and lea!e the

area.

Ninja "rt) 0nk Flush

#he >inja Art7 "nk 2lush (>inpou7 &uminash), by pouring some of his special ink into theground, the user can create ink constructs, just like in the 5reat +east ;aintings

technique, but without actually drawing the images before hand. "nstead, with this more

ad!anced technique, the user merely has to !isuali%e the desired forms in his mind, suchas se!eral ink snakes that strike from underground and restrain his opponents, for

e/ample. ?nlike the 5reat +east ;aintings, should the opponent pro!e strong enough to

break the images, they can reform, making struggling pointless.

Non!Slicing Shoer

#he >on$&licing &hower technique (Kiteinu &hawaa) allows the user, by placing a nail in

his mouth and in!oking the technique, to spit a cone of nails at an opponent, or e!en agroup of enemies. #he technique4s name stems from the fact that it causes piercing

damage rather than slicing one.

+a1er Techni$uesA set of techniques requiring both good chakra control and high skill in -rigami

+a1er Clones

#he ;aper lone (Kami +unshin) technique allows the user to create tangible clones

made from many papertags. Just like shadow clones, these clones can fight and perform

physical tasks. ?nlike shadow clones, they do not disappear when struck, but are clearlyeasy to damage, and are highly !ulnerable to certain things, namely, fire, water, oil and



mo!ements to help or hinder their progress. Another useful quality of this skill is the fact

that the puppet can take the form of another person, usually its user, allowing the user to

trick their enemy into thinking they4re fighting a li!ing person. #he art of puppetry !aries in usage from person to person, as puppets can be equipped

with an array of different weapons and tools to make a battle easier. ;uppeteers can also

combine the abilities of their puppets to increase their effecti!eness= Kankuro, fore/ample, can use one of his puppets, Kuro Ari (9+lack Ant9), to capture an enemy while

a second, Karasu (9row9), bombards them with weapons, killing them. &tandard

puppets, howe!er, are limited to attacks not dependent on chakra, as soulless beingscannot utili%e it. &asori has created a workaround for this shortcoming by con!erting the

body of a still$li!ing person into a puppet. +ecause they were once human, these puppets

are able to perform jutsu, gi!ing them a drastic ad!antage o!er other puppets.

Kankuro4s has three puppets. #he first, Karasu (meaning 9row9) is an attack puppet. "thas a slender body, two slender, segmented legs and four slender, segmented arms, and a

large head (compared to the body) with a mouth that opens quite a bit. ach arm of

Karasu has a compartment with a spring blade at the base of the palm, and each blade is

set a hollow handle that can contain poison that drips on the blade when it is sprung out.ach palm is fitted with a needle launcher. #he top arms open at the middle joint to

re!eal a bomb launcher that can be loaded with smoke bombs, poison gas bombs and thelike. Karasu4s body has si/ cur!ed blades in it that can be sprung out (like a burst out rib

cage). "nside Karasu4s mouth is a dagger launcher that is like a strong crossbow in

strength. #he face can also be made to open (nose plate and lower jaw) to re!eal a springloaded, large hollow needle that can contain a lot of poison. !ery part of Karasu can be

made to detach from the body, e!en the head, and all ha!e a long blade at that end as

well.

each segmented part of which has a retractable serated blade in it that can be sprung out.

ach arm can also come apart from Kuro Ari, just like Karasu, to re!eal a folding spring blade, and each arm has needle launchers at the palms. Kankuro uses Kuro Ari to hug an

enemy while the blades are out to injure the enemy, and using Karasu, he pushes enemies

into the open barrel body of Kuro Ari, and then closes it to capture the enemy. Kuro Arihas se!en slot holes on its barrel body, four at the front, two at the back, and one at the

top, behind its head.

#he third, &anshōuo (meaning 9&alamander9) is a defense puppet that protects Kankuro

(ain of Needles#he 8ain of >eedles or #housand &prinkling >eedles technique (Jouro &enbon) is atechnique that requires a number of special umbrelas to perform= each is filled with

numerous metal needles. #he user spreads the umbrelas and throws them up o!er his

opponents= :e then uses chakra to keep them up and make them spin fast, releasing theneedles that rain down on his opponents. :e further uses chakra to then direct the

needles, making them swarm his opponents from e!ery direction, lea!ing no room for

escape, and negating the benefits of partial co!er. #he needles are also regulated with theuser4s chakra so as to actually seek their targets.

(esult of the -on1our

#he 8esult of the ownpour (&amidare Kekka) technique is a lesser !ersion of the rain ofneedles technique. "t requires only one umbrela, and is more specific in its targeting. #he

user in!okes the technique, holds the umbrela closed by its top, and aims its bottom

towards the target of his choice= #he jutsu allows the user to shoot the needles from the

umbrela in a concentrated conical spray on the target. &uch umbrelas ha!e enough

#he 8ain #iger at 1ill #echnique (?koji%ai no Jutsu) is a perception ninjutsu, allowing

one to freely manipulate rain infused with the user4s own chakra. #he rain falls from rain

clouds, formed with the user4s own chakra. uring this technique, the falling raindropsare closely linked to the user4s senses. 1hen the rain is obstructed by a chakra belonging

to someone not of the !illage, the e/istence of the intruder can be detected. #he rain will

keep on falling until the user uses the seal to cancel it.

Su1er (e,i,al Fist

#he &uper 8e!i!al 2ist (hou Kassei Ken) works in similar properties to the 8asengan,though not as potent. +y gathering chakra in the user4s hand, the user can create an orbwith two rings around it (gi!ing it an atomic look). #he user will then plow the orb into

his target, resulting in the target being struck with tremendous bone$shattering force.

once it4s complete, it becomes self$sustaining. #he 8asengan was meant to be an e/ample

of nature manipulation as the 2ourth meant to combine his chakra element with the8asengan. :owe!er, he died before he could accomplish this. espite this, the 8asengan

is still a !ery useful, if difficult to learn, jutsu. #he 8asengan grinds into whate!er it

to >aruto4s 5reat +all 8asengan, the ?ltimate 8asengan is roughly larger than Jiraiya4sown body and can be used in one hand. Jiraiya has only e!er used this technique while in

his &age 0ode. #his technique adds natural energy to the 5reat +all 8asengan. #he

natural energy rapidly increases it to gigantic proportions, and is created in an instant.

?nlike >aruto4s 5reat +all 8asengan, it can be used with only one hand. "f the &uper5reat +all 8asengan e/ploded, it would easily hollow out an entire mountain.

Fire (elease) Great Flaming (asengan

#he 2ire 8elease7 5reat 2laming 8asengan (Katon7 5ōen Rasengan) is an infusion of

the 8asengan jutsu with fire elemental chakra. "t also has the same grinding effect as the

8asengan but with flames infused to it. #he fire$natured chakra causes whate!er is hit bythe rasengan to continue to be eaten away by corrosi!e energy (whether the thing can

normally burn or not).

Sage Techni$ue) S1iraling Grou1 S1here

#he &age #echnique7 &piraling 5roup &phere (&enjutsu7 8asenrengan) is simply two

8asengan used simultaneously. -nce created, both 8asengan are used at the same timewith greater force than a single, regular 8asengan. "t is different than #win 8asengan,

because #win 8asengan uses one 8asengan at a time to attack, while this technique uses

both 8asengan at the same time. #his presumably uses twice the chakra of a regular8asengan. &enjutsu chakra is added to the technique, which greatly enhances the

strength of the attack.

'ind (elease) S1iraling Shuriken

#he 1ind 8elease7 &piraling &huriken (2ūton+ Rasenshuriken) is an infusion of the

8asengan jutsu with wind elemental chakra, created by >aruto ?%umaki. "t is also a

!ariation of the 1ind 8elease7 8asengan, similar to the 5reat +all 8asengan being a!ariation of the standard 8asengan. +y manipulating the wind chakra of the 1ind

8elease7 8asengan, >aruto was able to create four large points, making the 8asengan

appear as a giant shuriken, the 8asengan in the center remaining a perfect sphere. espitethe name, because the 8asengan is a handheld jutsu, the 8asenshuriken can not be

thrown, instead the user has to figure out a way to get close enough to his opponent and

hit them. "f successful, the !ictim becomes trapped in a huge spherical !orte/ of windchakra blades that attack the body or anything else it hits on a cellular le!el. #he wind

chakra se!ers the chakra and ner!e channels in the body of the target.

#he main drawback of the 8asenshuriken is that it is a double$edged sword. 1hile it can



utterly reap any opponent trapped in the !orte/, it also damages the users body, usually

the hand that performs the technique. 1ith greater le!el of skill this drawback can be

eliminated.

>aruto is in &age 0ode, he encases the 8asenshuriken in senjutsu chakra to maintain itsshape. #his allows him to throw it at his opponents, remo!ing the possibility of itdamaging himself.

1hen the central sphere connects with his target, it works in a manner similar to when

he was fighting Kaku%u. 1hen he is unable to make a direct hit though, he is able toe/pand it after it has been thrown, compensating for imprecise aim or fleeing opponents

by widening the area of effect. #he senjutsu chakra also allows >aruto to increase the

8asenshuriken4s destructi!e power, as the technique that left Kaku%u4s body reasonablyintact has impro!ed to the point of tearing ;ain4s :uman ;ath to pieces. After the blades

of the shuriken e/pands, the sphere also e/pands.

1hen fighting ;ain4s e!a ;ath, >aruto has also combined the 8asenshuriken with the

&hadow &huriken #echnique, throwing two 8asenshuriken, one hidden behind the otherto catch his opponent off guard. "t has also become one of >aruto4s fastest techniques

(enge#he 8enge ('otus) #echniques are powerful taijutsu techniques capable of inflicting

critical, e!en fatal damage on their !ictims. #hey are also !ery dangerous as they usechakra to remo!e the limis imposed on the muscles by the brain. >ormally, a human

being uses about HFO of his muscles4 potential, where EFFO muscular potential

implamented would cause the muscles to break down= 1ith the 8enge, chakra is used toremo!e that boundary by opening some of the eight gates, allowing the user to push

himself much further beyond the limit. As a result, these techniques are classified asforbiden, and as last resort techniques, as their use lea!es the user in a weakened state

afterwards.

#mote (enge

#he ?mute 8enge (litteraly 9&econdary 'otus9) is the first of the 8enge techniques. #his

technique opens the first gate, the -pen 5ate= "t unfastens the control of the brain, andenables a person to use his muscles at their limits. #he user can mo!e e/traordinarily fast

while performing it. "t starts with the user mo!ing !ery quickly near the front of his

opponent4s feet, squating low, and sending a fast, powerful kick straight up to hit hisopponent4s chin, sending him flying straight up= At this point the user can leap up with all

four limbs and deli!er a few more upward going kicks (although the strain put on the

body by this technique makes most users a!oid adding too much to it), or continue to thene/t stage of the attack= "n the ne/t and final stage, #he user positions himself inflight

behind his opponent4s back, wraps his arms around his opponent4s arms and torso, pulls

both himself and the opponent back, so that their heads face the ground, and brings both

into a fast spin= At the end they both come crashing at high speed, head first, into theground. Just before hitting the ground, the user lets go and flips away to land safely on

his feet. #he opponent, on the other hand, hits the ground head first, or on th upper back,

something that usually ends in the death of the opponent.



Ura (enge

#he Aura 8enge (;rimary 'otus) is the pinnacle of the 'otus techniques. "n addition to

openning the first gate, it opens the second gate, the nergy 5ate, and increases one4sstrength forcefully. And after opening the third gate, the 'ife 5ate, the ;rimary 'otus is

carried out. #his technique, simply put, is a combination of high$speed hnan$to$hand

combat mo!es where the enemy cannot e!en touch the user. #he rare people capable ofusing this technique, usually e/ecute high$speed combat mo!es, landing them from e!ery

direction almost simulateously, so high is their speed.

#he ;eregrine 2alcon rop (:ayabusa -toshi) is a mo!e in!ented by &usuke ?chiha that

wrapping oneself around an airborne opponent to ensure they are unable to sa!e

themsel!es upon impact with the ground.

The Lion.s Barrage

#his technique, #he 'ion4s +arrage (&hi &hi 8andan), is a !ariation on the ?mute 8enge

technique. #he first two stages of the attack are the same as the umute renge, but at the

third stage, after positioning himself behind the back of his opponent, the user puts onehand on his opponent4s back and uses it ascounter a kick from his opposite leg to the side

of his opponent, then he flips to the other side of his opponent, deli!ering a back hand blow to his face, and, as they both start falling back to the ground, he slams his close fist

on the opponent for impact and le!erage, makes a D$a/is flip, and lands a heel kick on

the opponent4s stomach, crashing him into the floor.

(e1lacement Techni$ue

#he 8eplacement #echnique (Kawarimi no Jutsu) is a technique when one uses an object,

an animal, or e!en another person within reach to quickly change places with it, andmake the enemy think he was hit. #hen, one is able to attack the enemy4s unguarded point

or run away. #he user in!okes the technique, designating an object or animal to switch

places with, and if he is hit by anything, he switches places with that designated object oranimal, which gets hit instead. /plosi!e tags can be attached to the replacement for an

added surprise.

#he 8innegan (literally 9&amsara ye9) first possessed by the &age of the &i/ ;aths, the

founder of the ninja world and the creator of the first ninjutsu. "t is characteri%ed by a

number of concentric circles around the pupils, or with el!es, as a glow of the entire eye,strongest at the pupil combined with sharingan, allows the wielder to perform any jutsu

and use all si/ types of chakra$nature manipulation. Also just like the &haringan and

+yakugan, 8innegan allows the user to see chakra and things created by it (such as barriers and the like).

;ein, the only known possessor of this ability, uses the 8innegan in his fight with Jiraiya,

summoning a total of si/ bodies that all possessed the 8innegan. An ability gained byusing the 8innegan is that all the bodies can see each indi!idual body4s field of !ision.

+ecause of this ad!antage, one must be blinded in order for a blind spot to be opened.

#his suggests that a user creating tangible clones (by use of any clone technique, e/cept

meant to suppress a tailed beast4s (or any powerful creature4s) influence o!er it4s host.Seal of the Fi,e Elements

#he &eal of the 2i!e lements (5ogyou 2uuin) is a seal meant to seal away or at least

limit energy flows such as chakra, and, due to this function, it can also suppress theinfluence of a second source of chakra (like from a tailed beast in a host), lea!ing only

latent abilities a!ailable (rapid healing, great stamina, etc.), or an elemental energy within

someones body, barring or limiting access to it. "t is also a way to reinforce an e/istingseal, amplifying its power and increasing it4s effecti!eness. #his seal must be applied

directly to the target4s body by touch of the user. #he seal, once formed, resembles a

circle of fi!e spirals flaring out with runes between each two. epending on the user4sskill in &ealing #echniques, the sealing system is more, or less, effecti!e and stable. "t

#he &hadow &eal ("nf ūin) is a rarely known yet highly useful seal. +y using it on

oneself, a person can store in it chakra. #he user can seal more and more chakra in it,

creating a chakra reser!e he can use when short on chakra and in a desperate need of it.+y releasing the seal ("nfuuin Kai), the user gains access to the stored chakra. -nce the



user no longer needs chakra, or the stored chakra runs out, he can reform the seal, so it

can accumulate chakra again. 1hen sealed, the seal is in the form of a sky blue diamond.

1hen released, the seal spreads on the user4s body in a patern of !ines.

-ark Seal

#he ark &eal (2uukoku :ouin), which must be written in the blood of the user on a

talisman paper tag, has many uses, from protecting a door, to protecting a container. #hetag is placed on the thing to be warded, and the seal in!oked, at which point it attaches to

runes of containment (such as a barrel), into which a li!ing person is put. 8aising theirhands in unison the air around start to !ibrate slightly, and from their hands sips dark mist

that gathers o!er the container as a swirling dark cloud. #he seal is then in!oked, and

they bring their hands down, causing the mist to swirl down into the open container.

-nce the mist enters the container fully, it is sealed by a black lid that forms. #his sealingmethod is used to put someone in a death$like suspended animation, where he is not

actually suspended, but is more in a state of hibernation. "t is a way to sur!i!e dark and painful transformations, like the infusion of demonic essence into the soul, or enduring

the stage two transformation of -rochimaru4s ursed &eals. &uch processes usually end

in the death of the one trying to accomplish them, but this sealing technique softens theside effects of such processes, assuring the sur!i!al of the subject by making eternal

death into just apperant death.

E,il Su11ressor Seal

#he !il &uppressor (2uuja :ouin) is a seal meant to suppress e!il influences, such ascursed seals, demonic possesions in people, and the like. #he seal is stronger, the stronger

the will of the person bearing it, as this sealing technique utili%es its bearer4s will as its

main source. "t has its own power like all seals, but unless the person bearing it staysstrong, and depending on the strength of the e!il suppressed, the seal may falter and

break. Applying this seal requires some preperation= #he person to bear it must be placed

in the center of two double circles, one small and one big= ach such circle must bemarked in si/ points of equal distance, so that each four points stand on one line passing

through the center of the circles= Along these three diameters, si/ paths of sealing runes

must be inscribed in the blood of the one creating the seal, leading toward the person to

bear the seal, sitting in the center= #he runes are inscribed in continuation from the floorto the body of the person to bear the seal, all the way to one point on his body. -nce this

preperation is done, the seal can be in!oked. -nce in!oked, the runes rush from the edges

of the big circle to the central point on the recipient4s body, where they form a smallcircular runic seal. "f sealing a cursed seal, the cursed seal must be the center point, and

the seal, once formed, circles it.

and was not in a host, in the statue. 1hen the jutsu is in!oked, the dragon statue4s mouth

opens and a blue glow gathers in it. 2rom this blue light emerge nine tongues of blueenergy shaped like dragons. #hese tongue assault the host4s body, surrounding him in a



blue field of energy, and in the course of three days e/tract the tailed beast from inside

him or her. #his is !isible as a constant stream of chakra that is drawn from the host4s

eyes and mouth into the statue4s mouth (the process seems quite agoni%ing to the host). "nthe case of an unsealed tailed beast, the same thing happens to the beast itself. As the

process progresses, the eyes on the statue slowly begin to open. ach eye is an indicator

for one of the tailed beasts= #he empty ones ha!e no pupils, while those corresponding toan imprisoned tailed beast do. At the end of three days, the tailed beast is sealed in the

statue, the eyes fully open, and the host dies. #here seems to be a limit on which tailed

beast they can seal at once howe!er as they are unable to seal the demon fo/ withoutsealing all other beasts first, as it would destroy the statue, possibly freeing all the

captured beasts.

-ead -emon Consuming Seal

#he ead emon onsuming &eal (2uuinjutsu7 &hiki 2Ijin, 9&ealing Jutsu7 8eapereath &eal9) is a seal created by the 2ourth :okage that in!okes the powers of the death

god (&hinigami). A sealing jutsu so secret, powerful, and forbidden, only the #hird and

2ourth :okages were able to learn and use it. After performing the hand seals, a eath

5od (&hinigami) 9materiali%es9 and ho!ers behind the user who (being the one who madea contract with the eath 5od) is the only one capable of seeing him at the meantime,

and remains in!isible to the opponent until it has grasped their soul. As the eath 5odappears, the user4s soul 9materiali%es9 in front of him as ethereal bluish figure and is

readily entangled with some of the eath 5od4s long hair. "t takes a few moments for the

sealing to be ready for use= -nce it is, runes run along the arms of the death god4sapparition, and he sinks the arm into the user4s apparition entangled infront of him. #his

is most painful for the user, but that is also the sign for him that the technique is ready to

use. At this point it is also too late to cancel it. After the sealing is completed the death

god consumes the user4s soul soon afterwards, killing them. -nce a soul has been eaten itresides within the death god4s stomach, destined to do battle with its fellow souls for all

eternity.

?nlike many of the other seals, the ead emon onsuming &eal has ser!ed different purposes for each of its uses. 1hen first used by the 2ourth, it aided in sealing the >ine$

#ailed emon 2o/ within >aruto ?%umaki. 1hen later used by the #hird :okage4s

shadow clones, the ead emon onsuming &eal sealed the souls of the 2irst and&econd :okage within the clones4 bodies. "n this instance, the death god consumed the

:okage4s soul in addition to the souls of the clones, suggesting that it consumes whate!er

souls are present within the user4s body. 1hen the actual #hird :okage used the seal, it

sealed -rochimaru4s arms, pre!enting their use. :ere is how it worked for the #hird7 #heuser must be in close pro/imity with the target and grasp him to begin the e/traction of

the target4s soul. -nce the user in!okes upon the eath 5od, the eath 5od reaches its

arm out as it passes through the user4s soul and emerges in front of the user4s chest. #hearm then grasps the soul of the target and starts pulling it off from the body. At this stage,

the target is most likely unable to mo!e or perform any sort of jutsu. 2urthermore, the

target is now able to see the eath 5od himself. #he eath 5od can optionally se!er any part of the target4s soul using his long blade at the user4s bidding. 1hen this happens, that

part is de!oured by the eath 5od and the corresponding part of the target4s body dies

off, rendering it unusable. #he dead part will rot o!er time, causing e/cruciating pain to

the target. #his rot will spread, e!antually killing the target. #he effecti!eness of the jutsu



is only as good as the current amount of chakra, strength, and will$power of the user, and

this determines how much of the target4s soul can be e/tracted out of his body. #hus the

jutsu can become a failure, and regardless of this, the user4s soul will still be consumed bythe eath 5od and he dies. +ut when the target4s soul or a part of it is taken, it can get

sealed immediately at the user4s command and a seal appears on the user4s chest. 1hen

the whole of the target4s soul is taken, the eath 5od de!ours both their souls as they die,intertwining them in hatred, locking the two souls in an eternal battle inside the eath

5od4s stomach where they can ne!er escape. #his jutsu can also be performed through

shadow clones and with them he can seal the souls of multiple targets, though the user4ssoul will be sealed, regardless.

The /&uga Clan.s Cursed Seal

;rotection of the +yakugan ability is !ery important to the :yuga clan, and has led to the

de!elopment of an elaborate family hierarchy. 0embers of the lesser branch house are branded with a cursed seal on their forehead at a young age. #he seal resembles a green P

mark flanked by two green hori%ontal shepherd sta!es whose heads face the seal, where

the right one4s cur!ed top faces down while the left one4s faces up. 1hene!er a branch

house member dies, the cursed seal will seal the +yakugan ability so that enemies willnot be able to disco!er its secrets, and then disappear without a trace. #his secret

technique of the :yuga clan is used to protect the +yakugan ability, but, in effect, thesealing technique4s complete function is to seal any kekkei genkai the bearer of the seal

possesses. "t is therefore effecti!e with respect to such abilities as &haringan, 0okuton,

:youton, etc. #he seal has a second purpose. #hose who know this sealing technique can in!oke the

seal on anyone bearing it. #he seal begins to glow in a green light and eight lines of tiny

thin runes appear around the P, four abo!e the sta!es and four below. -nce in!oked, the

seal begins to slowly destroy the bearer4s brain cells, causing him debilitating pain. "fkept acti!e long enough by the user, it can kill the bearer. "t is a cruel and effecti!e way

for the :yuga head family to control the branch family and guarentee its loyalty.

#rochimaru.s Cursed Seals

-rochimaru4s cursed seals were first de!eloped through his e/perimentations on Jugo.

Jugo4s body naturally produces an en%yme that transforms the user into any number of

different forms, drastically increasing their chakra supply in the process. +y e/tractingthis en%yme from Jugo4s body and refining it, -rochimaru is able to apply it to whiche!er

of his followers he wishes. #he difference between -rochimaru4s seals and the unrefined

en%yme are the effect they ha!e7 while the cursed seal is controllable, the unrefined

en%yme produces uncontrollable rage in those e/posed to it. -nce the cursed seal is applied, the applicant stands a EFO chance of sur!i!al and they

lose consciousness as their body accepts or rejects the seal. &hould they sur!i!e, recei!ers

of the cursed seal are gi!en access to the seal4s first le!el. 1hen acti!ated the seal4sunique pattern spreads across their body from the point of application= the more body

co!erage there is, the more the user is drawing upon the seal4s effects. #he seal forcibly

draws chakra from the user4s body and grants them with increased physical abilities,though consequently lea!es them e/hausted once the seal is deacti!ated. #heir mind

slowly corrodes while the seal is acti!e, opening them to -rochimaru4s influence and

simultaneously ad!ancing the seal to its second state.

Ad!ancement to the second le!el of the cursed seal is a long process, so long in fact that



-rochimaru de!eloped a special drug to speed up the process. -nce le!el two is

achie!ed, the user can enter the state by fully co!ering their body with the cursed seal.

#his is followed by an unnatural alteration of the user4s body, with the only commonfeatures being yellow eyes with a black sclera. Aside from the first and second le!els of

the seal, skilled users of the seal are able to perform partial transformations in which le!el

two state can be accessed without completely altering the entire body. #he power of thecursed seal can e!en synchroni%e with the user4s regular body with e/tended use,

increasing the power of his6her natural state. #he powers gained by the second stage !ary

between users. Known ones are becoming ten times stronger than normal, the ability todisassemble and reconstruct cells in the body to get inside another4s body, and to control

many illusions using a certain medium.

Shado Clone Techni$ue#he &hadow lone #echnique (Kage +unshin no Jutsu, 9Art of the &hadow

oppelganger9) creates actual copies, not illusions, of the user with whate!er damage

and weapons the original may ha!e. ?p to fi!e clones can be created. #he user4s chakra is

e!enly distributed among e!ery clone, gi!ing each clone a fraction of the user4s o!erall power. +ecause of this, the technique itself is considered dangerous= when creating

multiple copies of one4s self it is possible to use up all of one4s chakra fairly quickly. #hisis considerably more dangerous with the jutsu4s forbidden form, the 0ultiple &hadow

lone #echnique (#ajū 3age Bunshin no Jutsu). :hile the standard Shado$*lone !echniue tyically creates no more than fi"e clones, the&ultile "ersion allo$s the creation of a limitless number of clones solong as the user has enough chakra. ue to the danger of the ability itis tyically used by only the most ad"anced ninja, often at or abo"e Jonin rank. #he clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can e!en bleed, but will

usually disperse after one or two solid blows. #hey can also disperse on their own. ?nlikeother clones, they can4t be detected by the +yakugan because the clones ha!e the e/act

same amount of chakra and aren4t made from any other substance, making them

indistinguishable from the actual person. Any e/perience the shadow clones gain duringtheir e/istence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed (occurs at the clones

discretion or after it recei!es a fatal or direct blow). #his makes the technique ideal for

spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target and then ha!e the clonedisperse itself to quickly pass the information back to the user. "t4s also useful for training

purposes, since the total amount of e/perience the user gains is multiplied by the total

number of clones being used to train. ?sing it in this manner is far more difficult,howe!er, since a large number of clones are needed to make a significant difference in

the training time. 'ikewise, depending on how many clones are used for this purpose, theuser can be o!ercome by the amount of information communicated to them with the

clones4 dispersion.

%ulti1le Shado Clone Techni$ue

#he 0ultiple &hadow lone #echnique (#ajū 3age Bunshin no Jutsu) isconsiderably more dangerous. "t is the shadow clone technique4s forbidden form. :hilethe standard Shado$ *lone !echniue tyically creates no more thanfi"e clones, the &ultile "ersion allo$s the creation of a limitless



number of clones so long as the user has enough chakra. ue to thedanger of the ability it is tyically used by only the most ad"ancedninja, often at or abo"e Jonin rank.Clone Great E71losion

#he lone 5reat /plosion (+unshin aibakuha), is a technique that works in

combination with the &hadow lone #echnique to create a shadow clone that wille/plode on command. #he blast created is considerable, and could potentially kill anattacker engaged in hand$to$hand combat.

%ulti1le +hantom Shuriken

#he 0ultiple or 0ass ;hantom &huriken (5eien #ajuu &huriken) technique allows the

user to multiply thrown shuriken. &imilar to the &huriken &hadow lone technique, thisone creates a fi/ed number of cloned shuriken instead of as many as the user is capable of

creating. ach thrown shuriken is multiplied by fi!e (four clones per shuriken).

Shuriken Shado (e1lication Techni$ue

#he &huriken &hadow 8eplication (&huriken, Kage +unshin no Jutsu) is much like the

shadow clone jutsu, e/cept that, instead of creating clones of the user, it replicates one or

more shurikens thrown by the user. #he number of replications depends on the le!el ofskill of the user, and the amount of chakra he in!ests in the technique. At minimum, two

replication of a single shuriken are created, when using the minimum amount of chakra

needed to e/ecute the technique.

Shado -ance

#he &hadow ance (Kage +uyō) is a #aijutsu technique that is used to position a ninja4s

opponent into a !ulnerable aerial position. #he ninja will first quickly appear below their

opponent, then with a switch upper kick they will launch their target into the air. #heninja will then jump into the air to 9shadow9 the target with the target4s back to their

chest.

Shado 0mitation Techni$ue#he &hadow "mitation #echnique (Kagemane no Jutsu) is the signature technique of the

>ara clan. #his jutsu allows the user to control their own shadow and merge it with theiropponent4s shadow, combining them. #his links the mo!ements of the user with the target

(both conscious and unconscious)= the target is subsequently forced to make any

mo!ement the user makes. -n the other hand, the user also mimics any mo!ements thatthe target is forced to make, such as recoil from being punched. "t is an e/tremely

!ersatile technique as the user can contract and change the shape of their shadow,

potentially grabbing multiple targets at once. #he degree to which the user4s shadow can

be stretched is limited by its total surface area= by using the shadows of other objects, the

user can e/tend their shadow beyond its normal range. #he amount of time for which anopponent can be held is limited by the user4s chakra, since the user must constantly

maintain the jutsu. #he jutsu is also more difficult to maintain at greater ranges or formultiple opponents, since the user4s shadow must be stretched constantly. #he target can

force their way free with enough effort, though the amount of effort required to do so is

considerable. #he &hadow "mitation #echnique used to be called the &hadow +ind #echnique (Kage

&hibari no Jutsu), suggesting that the imitation aspect was de!ised later on and that the



original technique could only hold targets in place. -lder members of the >ara clan use

the former name of the technique when performing it. -ther uses for one4s shadow ha!e

been seen= using the shadow to directly interact with the surroundings, such asmanipulating objects or piercing flesh.

Shado Bind Techni$ue

#he &hadow +ind technique (Kage &hibari no Jutsu) is the precursor to the &hadow"mitation technique. 'ike that technique this jutsu allows the user to control their own

shadow and merge it with their opponent4s shadow, combining them. ?nlike the shadow

imitation technique, the shadow bind technique only allows it4s user to hold his opponentin place, parali%ed as long as their shadows are merged.

Shuriken Shado 0mitation Techni$ue

A creation of &hikamaru, the &huriken &hadow "mitation #echnique (Kagemane

&huriken no Jutsu), by channeling his shadow into kni!es, the user obtains a portablesource of immobili%ation that he need only throw at an opponent4s shadow to capture

them and sa!e himself the energy. 1hile teaching himself to use Asuma4s trench kni!es,

&hikamaru in!ented this technique to use against Akatsuki4s :idan and Kaku%u. ?sing

the trench kni!es ability to absorb the users chakra, in his case his chakra. 1ith this theuser can target his opponent4s shadow and remotely trap them in the &hadow "mitation

#echnique. #his is e/tremely ad!antageous as he is no longer retricted to a stationary position while holding down his opponent.

Shado Neck Bind Techni$ue

#he &hadow >eck +ind #echnique (Kage Kubi &hibari no Jutsu, &hadow &trangle Jutsu)allows one to use his shadow to ha!e more interaction with an opponent by using it to

choke an opponent.

Shado Seing

&hadow &ewing (Kage >ui) is an impro!ement o!er the &hadow >eck +ind technique,which allows the user4s shadow to lift from the ground and either grab and throw

weapons or simply pierce an opponent. A skilled user can shape his shadow into tendrils

that can attack se!eral targets at once. #he &hadow &ewing technique is a techniqueunique to the >ara lan. #he user first e/tends his shadow by using the 8at hand seal,

then creates shadow tendrils by using the +ird hand seal. #he tendrils can ser!e !arious

purposes such as attacking or binding an opponent and6or attacking multiple targets.

Shado Summoning Techni$ue

#he &hadow &ummoning #echnique (Kageyose no Jutsu) is like the &hadow &ewing

jutsu, with the difference that it allows the user to utili%e an opponent4s shadow for the

same purpose, allowing him to use their own shadow against them. After capturing atarget with the &hadow "mitation #echnique, the user summons shadowy tendrils from

their opponent4s body, controlling them in the same manner as &hadow &ewing, but from

the opponent4s body instead of the user4s.

Shado %irror Sha1eshift

#he &hadow 0irror &hapeshift (Kage Kagami &hinten) technique is a !ery powerfultransformation technique passed down in the emon ountry. #he technique allows the

user to transform into someone whose looks he is familiar with. ?nlike other, inferior

transformation techniques, this one is permanent. -nce you ha!e transformed, there is no

way to return to your old self, unless you are an elf. -nly el!es can re!erse this



technique. #he transformation is perfect down to the last detail, cloths included. #o use

the technique, the user needs to make a few preperations. 2irst, a circle must drawn or

madewith small stones or pebbles. >e/t, the user must stand in its center and perfrm thehand seals. #he user begins to glow, and streams of light emenate from him and engulf

him. #he light then takes a shape around the user in the form of the person he wishes to

transform into, and when the light subsides, the transformation is complete.

Shado Shuriken Techni$ue

#he &hadow &huriken #echnique (Kage &huriken no Jutsu), allows the user to throwmultiple large shuriken in such a way that the first shuriken hides the subsequent ones by

blocking the line of sight. #o the target, it appears as if only one shuriken was thrown.

Sha1eshifting Techni$ue

#he &hapeshifting #echnique (&hōten no Jutsu ) allows the user to allocate chakra

from someone else into a human sacrifice, allowing them to fight !ia an elaborate 9copy9.

#he appearance of the person on whom the &hapeshifting #echnique is performed is

EFFO identical to the original person. #he technique will imitate any weapons, tools orkekkei genkai held by the original person, allowing the copy to fight with them. #he

power of the copy is in proportion to the !olume of allocated chakra, which is decided by

the user. #he original4s techniques are also a!ailable, but once the chakra runs out, thetechnique is cancelled and the copy dies. As it e!en uses up the sacrifices chakra, this is

an incredibly brutal technique.

Sharingan#he &haringan (literally 9opy 1heel ye9) is an eye technique that naturally occurs in a

select few members of the ?chiha clan. #he &haringan is thought to be descended fromthe +yakugan, which in turn was inherited by half$el!en humans from el!en parents, but

grants the user different abilities and a different insight. #he &haringan does notautomatically appear from birth in a user= instead, it will usually appear when the user is

in a life$threatening situation, where the power of the &haringan could sa!e them. Afterthis first appearance, the user can then call up the &haringan any time they wish. #he

power of the &haringan is judged through the number of tomoe in the eye, with a

ma/imum of three in each. #he &haringan4s first and most well known ability is to memori%e any technique that it

witnesses (this is sometimes reffered to as 9#echnique 0anipulation9). "t can memori%e

any standard form of jutsu with perfect accuracy, allowing the user to use the techniquesas his own. "n order to reproduce copied jutsu, howe!er, one must ha!e the necessary

skill or ability to perform them. &haringan cannot allow the user to reproduce other

kekkei genkai since the &haringan user doesn4t possess the same genetic trait.Additionally, &haringan users cannot summon a creature which they ha!e not made a

contract with.

#he &haringan4s second ability is granting the user incredible clarity of perception,

allowing them to track fast$mo!ing objects with ease and e!en predict the subsequentmo!ements of those objects. #he ability to track and predict mo!ement is largely based

on indi!idual skill, as unskilled users ha!e much more trouble tracking fast$mo!ing

objects. A fully$e!ol!ed &haringan eye can track e!en the quickest opponents, though,



like the first ability, it doesn4t necessarily mean the user has the ability to react to it. #his

perception is also great enough to see through genjutsu and to obser!e the mo!ement and

flow of chakra, but not to the same e/tent or clarity as the +yakugan. "t also gi!es colorto chakra. 0oreo!er, those powerful enough can see unusual sources of chakra (like E$

year old &usuke4s noticing of the >ine$#ailed emon 2o/ as being >aruto4s source of

power). Additionally, the &haringan grants the user e/ceptional analytical powers,allowing them to instincti!ely pick up on !arious !isual clues with little difficulty. 2or

e/ample, being able to reproduce writing of another person by watching their pencil

mo!ements (this is sometimes reffered to as 92orm 0anipulation9). #he &haringan4s third capability is a unique brand of hypnosis that in!ol!es suggesting

actions and thoughts to the opponent (somtimes reffered to as 90ind 0anipulation9).

1hen used in conjunction with the aforementioned aspects of the &haringan, this allows

the user to perfectly mimic e!ery mo!e their opponent makes, e!en before they do,making it appear as if the user can see the future. "t also allows for other forms of

hypnotism, such as putting an opponent to sleep, replaying memories to someone else, or

creating !arious illusions to fool an opponent. #he most skilled of &haringan users can

e!en combine the three capabilities of the &haringan to copy jutsus as they are being used by their opponents, and with perfect syncroni%ation.

1ith each stage of the &hringan gained beyond the first, thepre!ious ones impro!e in power.

"t is possible to transplant &haringan eyes from one person to another, as occurred with

Kakashi and his deceased comrade -bito ?chiha. :owe!er, transplanted eyes do notwork as well in a non$?chiha body= Kakashi4s eye is always acti!e, causing him great

strain when he uses it and forcing him to recuperate for e/tended periods of time after a

battle. Kakashi keeps it co!ered when not using it to a!oid this side effect in his e!eryday

acti!ities. ?chiha clan members are not burdened with this weakness= while acti!ation ofthe &haringan does consume chakra, the drain is so small as to be almost insignificant.

%angek&o Sharingan

#he 0angekyo &haringan (literally 9Kaleidoscope opy 1heel ye9) is a heightenedform of &haringan. "t was first awakened by 0adara ?chiha, who was able to use it to

gain control o!er the >ine$#ailed emon 2o/. -!er the generations other ?chiha came

to possess their own 0angekyo &haringan. ?nlike the standard &haringan, the 0angekyo&haringan differs between users, changing the form of the &haringan4s tomoe seal when

acti!ated. :owe!er, unlike the &haringan, it has a different appearance between the users,

as a kaleidoscope ne!er looks the same when looked through. #hose who ha!e the

potential to obtain it must make a great sacrifice in order to obtain it @ according to "tachi,they must kill their closest friend. And apparently, the 0angekyo &haringan can be

transferred from person to person without a need for sacrifice. #hose who possess a

0angekyo &haringan suffer from e!er$deteriorating eyesight, a process that becomesfaster through repeated usage and culminates in blindness. -nly by taking the eyes of a

sibling can one4s eyesight be permanently restored, combining the appearances of the two

0angekyo &haringan and granting them immense strength in the process which pre!ents blindness and might grant immortality.

1hile each possessor of the 0angekyo &haringan gains one or more occular abilities

unique to him, the 0angekyo &haringan has one power that is shared by all$ the ability to

control the #ailed +easts, e!en the >ine #ails emon 2o/.



Among the el!es, 0angekyo &haringan works differently. "t is rare and only appears

among the !enerableold or the truly e/ceptional e/amplars of the race, but it does not

require such gruesome act as murder of a lo!ed one to awaken. "nstead, it is awakened ina select few when they are mature enough, or ha!e been through an ordeal that truly

pushed them to their limits of ability. &uch indi!idual are !enerated and well respected

among the el!es$ pillars of their community. l!es with this ability are not at risk ofgoing blind, as long as their hearts remain good. #heir 0angekyo &haringan is a power

for good, and only begins to seal itself, thus blinding the possessor, if he becomes e!il.

#hat is why humans of the ?chiha who ha!e gained it slowly go blind$ #heir power is born from e!il, an e!il act of murder, and so they slowly destroy it, losing its light.

#he truly incredible thing about the el!en 0angekyo &haringan is that it can be shared

with other el!es who possess it.All it takes is the willingness to do so, and the locking of

ga%es as both in!oke their &haringan, and the one who wishes to share his 0angekyo&haringan in!okes it. #he recei!er then gains the abilities of the other 0angekyo

&haringan as an addition to his own. #his is considered a great and precious gift, an

ultimate show of trust, friendship and lo!e.

Kakashi :atake4s 0angekyo &haringan$ Kamui (0ight of the 5ods)7 +y focusing his0angekyo &haringan on a particular point, Kakashi can create a locali%ed

interdimensional space$time warp, forcing that point to collapse in on itself, allowing himto send any targeted object or creature and things in the !icinity to another dimension.

#he effect is !isible as a distortion in the air all around the target mo!ing towards a single

point of absolute darkness in the middle. #he dimensional barrier can be used to tear partof an object or creature, sundering an object or maiming a li!ing creature, and sending

just part of it away, but an accurate use of the ability sends the target entirely away. #he

center of this dimensional sinkhole is always the point the user4s eyes look.

0adara ?chiha4s 0angekyo &haringan7 0adara ?chiha was actually the first person towield this dangerous weapon. 1hen he was young, he and his younger brother were the

first people to gain the 0angekyo &haringan. :e e!entually grew blind from it, and he

killed his younger brother and took his eyes, though 0adara claims the eyes were asacrifice from his brother for the good of the clan. #his unlocked the 9ternal9 0angekyo

&haringan, a 0angekyo &haringan that ne!er goes dark.

"t is belie!ed 0adara used its power to control the power of the >ine$#ailed emon 2o/and sent it to attack Konoha, though he denies this. 8egardless, the attack failed because

of the 2ourth :okage4s sacrifice. #he ternal 0angekyo &haringan in appearance looks

identical to 0adara4s first 0angekyo combined with his younger brother4s 0angekyo.

0adara has shown using an unnamed space6time ninjutsu which makes him nearlyin!ulnerable and allows him to teleport to different places at will !ery quickly, but it4s

unclear if this is a result of his 0angekyo &haringan. #his is belie!ed to ha!e been the

0angekyo &haringan ability of his younger brother, although it could be his. :e can also put out the so$called ine/tinguishable flames of Amaterasu quite easily.

1hile it is unclear what e/actly was the 0angekyo &haringan ability of 0adara ?chiha,

it is known that it allowed him to control the power of the >ine$#ailed emon 2o/ andsuppress his chakra. #he ternal 0angekyo &haringan also seemingly grants the user

immortality and, according to "tachi, a fourth and final eye technique.

"tachi ?chiha4s 0angekyo &haringan7 1ith his 0angekyo &haringan, "tachi can utili%e

three speciali%ed eye$techniques. 1ith the first, #sukuyomi (the god of the moon in



&hinto and Japanese mythology= litteral translation of the word is 90oon 8eading9),

"tachi is able to torture opponents for what seems like days in a matter of moments,

lea!ing them crippled and in a state of mental collapse. "n effect, any kind of sensationcan be con!eyed, "tachi simply chooses torture. #his is a 5enjutsu, and is one of the most

powerful genjutsu in e/istence. <ictims of this ability find themsel!es in an illusionary

world of the user4s conception, in any situation he chooses, and can concei!e of. ays inthat world can be a second in real life, the user has full control of space, time, and matter

in this world. -nce the jutsu is finished, the target will not be able to fight for some time,

if they don4t suffer complete mental collapse. 1hile the illusion is ne!er the same twice,some elements always remain. #he first and foremost similarity is the red moon, which

hangs in the sky of open scene illusions. #he moon, in turn, casts a red light throughout

the illusion, gi!ing the background a blood$red appearance while the figures within the

e/ecuting this jutsu, eye contact is required.

Amaterasu (in Japanese mythology a sun goddess= litteral translation of the word is

9(that which) illuminates :ea!en9), is the highest le!el 2ire 8elease technique, as well asone of the most powerful ninjutsu, in e/istence. "t is said to represent the 90aterial 1orld

and 'ight9 (+usshitsukai to :ikari), the antipode to #sukuyomi, a genjutsu of similar power and a fellow 0angekyo &haringan dōjutsu, said to reresent theSiritual :orld and arkness <Seishinkai to 4ami). #he jet$black flames of

the Amaterasu are said to be as hot as the sun. #he flames are e/tremely powerful,

capable of burning through Jiraiya4s &ummoning7 #oad 0outh +ind, which Jiraiya stated

to be fire resistant. >ot surprisingly, it appears to use a large amount of chakra. #hought

to burn e!erything reflected on its retina, Cetsu also commented that the Amaterasu burned e!erything within "tachi4s wide field of !ision to cinders with an unholy black

flame, to the degree of being able to burn an entire forest or !illage with it. "t can e!en

smother regular flames easily. 1here!er the user focuses his eye, the flames will appearat the e/act spot without mo!ing, making it una!oidable as long as the user keeps his

!ision trained on the target. :owe!er, the delay in which it is launched makes it possible

to e!ade. #he flames are said to burn until they completely consume what they burn, andcannot be e/tinguished with water or any other normal methods. :owe!er, it can be

e/tinguished by the user, and the flames can be sealed with sealing techniques. A highly

skilled user can manipulate Amaterasu to such an e/tent that he is able to form a full$

body shield around himself. #he flames are black as a reflection of the cruel way the?chiha come into the power of the 0angekyo &haringan= for someone of good heart and

pure soul (such as how el!es must be to gain the 0angekyo &haringan in the first place),

they can menifest as a pure form of flames (blue, purple, gold, whith, sil!er). :is final and strongest ability, &usano4o (in &hinto is the god of the sea and storms,

depicted as a warrior). &usanoo is a technique that creates a spiritual being resembling a

yamabushi. " creates a massi!e ethereal warrior surrounding his body, that will fight on"tachi4s behalf, and otherwise shields him from all attacks. #he warrior wields a shield in

its left hand, the sacred Data >o Kagami (9Data4s 0irror9 or ight &pan 0irror), a mirror

that4s considered one of the three sacred treasures capable of reflecting all attacks, and inits right, the legendary #otsuka no #surugi (lit. 9#he &word #en :ands 'ong9), also

known as the &akegari 'ongsword (&akegari #achi, lit. 9&ake utter 'ongsword9). #he



#otsuka no #surugi, commonly sheathed in a sake jar held by a third hand growing from

&usano4o4s right forearm, is an ethereal weapon with an enchanted blade imbued with a

sealing jutsu capable of sealing anything it pierces in an eternal dream$like illusion worldof eternal drunken stupor, and is described as the perfect counter to -rochimaru4s

Kusanagi &word.

'ike the other 0angekyō Sharingan techniues, Susano4o comes $ith itso$n risks to human users. !o sustain Susano4o, the user must act as amedium for the sirit, allo$ing it to consume their life force energy. !his uts a se"ere strain on the user's body. 0"en $hile using Susano4oin its imerfect form, Sasuke describes it as feeling ain in e"ery cellin one's body. =rolonged use $ill lead to the user's death. "t seems only an

el!en user can form and sustain Susano4o without such a risk as the being is sustained

by the user4s spiritual energy which is more abundant and more rapidly replenishing.

Susano4o4s form also seems to change between users. Among the el!es, Susano4o is

called orellon, and is considered a menifestation of their prime god.

branch underground, creating a network of bone under the surface. :e can then cause

bones to sprout from the ground from anywhere his network of bone e/tends, and as

close to each other as his network is close$knit, impaling anyone in the area caught by thelong bone spikes sprouting from the ground and unable to somehow shield himself.

epending on the user4s strength with the ability, a larger area can be co!ered. &omeone

the user from attacks, and can e!en absorb completely a lethal attack, e!en an energy

based attack, but once the skin blocks such an attack, it disol!es off the user.

contract differing depending on what creature is to be summoned. -nce this is done, thesummoner need only perform the proper hand seals and offer a few additional drops of

blood with the same hand they signed the contract with to perform the summon. #he

amount of chakra offered at this time is directly proportionate to the si%e of the

summoned creature. &ummons ha!e their own abilities that they can use by themsel!es orin conjunction with the summoner. &ome summons are so powerful that they may e!en

challenge the summoner, or will demand something in order to contribute to the battle. "ncertain cases, it is also possible to summon inanimate objects. As with li!ing summons,inanimate summons also require a blood sacrifice.

what is instructed of them, the largest snake, 0ando, is an almost draconic, purple

monstrousity that will not help others without payment. :e will only help if a hundred

grapple targets, or to spit large globs of water at targets. Anyone trying to penetrate him

from the outside disco!er that his surface is like rubber that does not yield to penetration.

5amakichi and 5amatatsu, are currently small enough to ride upon one4s head. ach toad

is shown to ha!e a unique personality= 5amatatsu has a fi/ation for snacks and

5amakichi (cute tiny toads) enjoys watching battles from a safe distance. #heir father,5amabunta, speaks like a Kara$#uran yaku%a who won4t work with anyone he doesn4t

respect. espite this, he is fiercely protecti!e of his children and >aruto, and will fight

for their safety regardless of his respect for the summoner (or, more likely, whether or notJiraiya is on his good side). 5amaken, a toad of comparable si%e to 5amabunta, spends

the bulk of his time commenting on how weak and stupid he is, suggesting he is !ery

insecure. #he toad elders seem to hold high positions in toad$society= the 5reat #oad &age, an

aging and senile toad, hands out wisdom and predictions to the younger generations. :e

is highly respected for his track record of always being right, and getting to meet with

him is considered a great honor. A married toad couple, who simply refer to each other as0a and ;a (2ukasaku), assist the 5reat &age in his work. #hey also seem to be

particularly powerful. Jiraiya speaks to both of them !ery respectfully, whereas most

other toads he treats as his equals.

mouths to release a many$mouthed snake$like creatures composed of pure spirit energy.+ecause of this, the snakes are impossible to hit and can directly attack an opponent4s

chakra, weakening them o!er time. +ecause the snakes are composed of spirit energy and

lack body energy, when they come in contact with a li!ing creature, they easily draw on

his body energy which they hunger for.Summoning5 (eincarnation to the 0m1ure 'orld

calls the souls of the dead and re!i!es them. #he technique summons the desiredindi!iduals with the potential of making them fully ali!e, and in possesion of whate!er

ground. 2rom the gate rise the coffins, shrouds, urns, or whate!er other method of burialwas used on the deceased. 2rom those come out or appear the summoned indi!iduals, as

spirits. >ormally, to summon something, the one who in!okes the summon must sacrifice

some of his blood, but this technique requires a li!e human sacrifice to tie the dead4s soulto this world. #he knife used for the sacrifice must be sunk into the menifestation of the

dead soul once summoned. #he body of the sacrifice must be burried prior to thesummoning. #o actually gain the blind obedience of the dead, a special mystical tag must

be applied to the soul along with the knife of the sacrifice= #his kills the soul4s personality, making it a puppet of the summoner. -nce complete, the re!i!ed is

impossible to kill by normal means. "f a limb is destroyed or remo!ed, it will simply

regenerate. #o kill the re!i!ed, the soul has to be remo!ed. #his is a forbidden technique,for ob!ious reasons, and also because it is considered taboo to summon the dead without

long as they know the appearence of the person, animal or object, the form of which they

wish to assume. #his is a ninjutsu, not a genjutsu$ the transformation is real and tangible,not illusary. &ome effort (as well as chakra) is nessecery to maintain the transformation,

and it is immediately dispelled if too little chakra remains to sustain it, or if the user is

injured too badly to maintain the jutsu. Also, the user cannot transform to something that

is too much bigger than him. #ransformation into smaller things is not a problem, but

transformation into bigger ones is limited to things that are not much bigger than the user.Com4ination Transformation

#he ombination #ransformation (ombi :enge) technique is e/ectly like a normaltransformation, with one big differense$ two creatures touching each other transform into

transformation to transform along with the user, to gain the benefits of another form, and

second, as a result of the combination of two creatures into one form, the limit of

#he user e!en gains the scent and !oice of the target person, making it impossible for

e!en an animal with heightened senses of smell and hearing to tell the difference.;hysically speaking, it is a flawless transformation technique. ?nlike the normal

transformation technique,this one can not be cancelled at will. "t wears off after a few

days unless renewed.

can take no more energy in, triggers the forbidden technique. #he user is surrounded by a

shield of pure chakra to protect him from its effects, and than the accumulated energy

creates the illusion, it doesn4t sustain it= #he user does that. An e/ample illusion, theream &ound hain, makes the target feel as if they are tied with numerous wires,

restricting their mo!ement. &oon after, their flesh will begin to melt away from their

bones, causing great pain and horror to the target.

0llusion Bell Needles

#he "llusion +ell >eedles (&u%u &enbon no 5enkaku) technique is a sound based illusion.

#he user can use this technique with specially designed bells. +y attaching the bells to

senbon (throwing needles) and throwing them at his target, he can get them to dodge andsubsequently ignore the bells. Additionally, the target may belie!e the bells are actually

designed to lull them into a false sense of security or to confuse them. "n actuality, he has

strings attached to the bells or can use chakra strings (like with the ;uppet #echnique),

which allows him to ring them. #he bells ring at a certain frequency, which directlyaffects the brain. #his, in conjunction with the technique, causes his target to see multiple

copies of himself, making it impossible to tell the real one from the illusions.Additionally, the target loses their motor skills with continued e/posure to the ringing.

-eath Foreseeing Techni$ue

#he eath 2oreseeing #echnique (&hikumi no Jutsu) is much like the ;aralysis

#echnique, but paraly%es the foe by showing them a !ision of their own gruesome death.

"n addition to the paralysis, the enemy is o!erwhelmed with fear, and will no doubt suffer

se!ere mental stress. #his is an illusion based paralysis.

0llusionar& Techni$ue) "4solute -arkness

#his Jutsu (5enjutsu7 Kokuangyou no Jutsu) co!ers an entire area around the user incomplete darkness that is impenetrable to light sources despite the e/istance of any. #his

jutsu makes the target think that they are surrounded by total darkness, allowing the user

to attack unseen.

'ater (elease 0llusion) %&stic Fog +rison

#he 1ater 8elease "llusion7 0ystic 2og ;rison (&uiton 5enjutsu7 0ugen 0arou) is a

powerful technique that creates a fog laced with shimmering motes of light that placethose in the area of the fog into an illusion in which they are gradually encased in ice,

rendering them immobile. -nce fully paralysed, !ictims of the illusion begin seeing a

demonic shadowy apparition that mo!es towards them to instill fear in them.

Floer 0llusion) %a7imum Cutting

#he 2lower "llusion7 0a/imum utting (:ana 5enjutsu7 Kyouka &ai) requires flower pettles to e/ecute. #he user throws the pettles at his target and in!okes the technique. #he

flower pettles begin to swirl around the target, and the world around him darkens to a

twilight. #he user !anishes in the process, concealed by the illusion, and free to act

further under co!er of the illusion.



Leaf St&le) 'illo

#he 'eaf &tyle7 1illow (Konoha 8yuu7 Danagi) illusion, in!ol!es the user slowlywa!ing a long object, preferably a weapon, infront of his intended targets. "llusary

duplicates of that objects appear, each e/tending from the pre!ious in a way reminiscent

of the long willow leaf !ines. &oon, many long strings of the weapon fill the subjects4field of !ision, only to fade into a !ision of a willow tree lit by a purple moon. #his

illusion entrances and immobili%es those caught in it, lea!ing them in the mercy of the

illusion in!oker.

The Sage of Si7 +aths +oers and Techni$uesAs possessor of the 8innegan, the sage of si/ paths could not only master all elements

and any technique, but he also possessed some powers that were unique to him. &i/ ;aths

which ga!e him his nickname.

The -i,init& +ath

#he e!a ;ath (天道, #end) is the first of the &i/ ;aths. #his path of power between

hea!en and earth is all about attraction and repulsion$ directional gra!itational force orit4s in!ersion. #he possessorof the 8innegan can push things away from him or pull themto him, while using himself as a center, whether a single object or being, or e!erything

around him. +oth matter and energy can be affected by this power.

Celestial +ull of "ll Creation

#he elestial ;ull of All reation (+anshō #en4in) technique allows the user to pull a

target to him. epending on the amount of energy in!ested, a larger and hea!ier object or person can be pulled.

/ea,enl& Su4jugation of the #mni1resent God

#he :ea!enly &ubjugation of the -mnipresent 5od (&hinra #ensei) tchnique allowsthe user to push e!erything around away from him, but on a much larger scale than the

;ath of i!inity allows the user without the use of a technique (in other words$ withoutmolding chakra). #his technique can cause great destruction. Catacl&smic /ea,enl& Bod&

'itteraly #ranslated 9:ea!enly +ody +ursting from the arth9, the ataclysmic

:ea!enly +ody or atastrophic ;lanetary onstruction (hibaku #ensei) is possibly the

greatest technique originating from the e!a ;ath. hibaku #ensei is a special technique de!eloped by the &age of the &i/ ;aths, who used

it to create the moon and trap the #en$#ailed +east4s body inside of it.

#he user creates a small glowing sphere which quicly darkens to a dark black sphere ofgra!ity that, when thrown into the sky, begins to shine rays of golden light and attracts

objects from all directions and pulls them into the sphere, compressing them together.

#he surrounding earth, including forests and mountains, are collected into a single point, piling on top of one another until it creates a large sphere. A large crater is left where the

earth has been collected from.

The "nimal +ath

#he Animal ;ath (畜生道, hikushd) is the second path of the sage. #he Animal ;ath4s

main abilities re!ol!e around summoning !arious animals and creatures to aid it in battle.

ach creature ser!es a different purpose in battle, much like e!ery path of the sage was

also different from the others. #he summons a!ailable to the &age of &i/ ;aths, are



e/tremely powerful, being on a whole different le!el than most known summons (with

only few, such as nma, as an e/ception). 1orthy of note, the sage requires no blood

sacrifice, does not need to form the necessary hand seals or hand contact with the surfaceto performing a &ummoning #echnique.

The +reta +ath

#he ;reta ;ath (餓鬼道, 5akid) is the third of the &i/ ;aths. "t grants the sage the abilityto absorb energy. Blocking Techni$ue "4sor1tion Seal

#he +locking #echnique Absorption &eal (2ūjutsu 3yūin) is a highly ad!anced

sealing technique that is capable of absorbing any chakra, regardless of any shape or

nature transformation, and dispersing it within one4s body by spinning the chakra within

one4s body in the opposite direction. As a result, this technique can absorb any ninjutsu based technique, regardless of power, without harming the user. #his technique could

also take the form of a barrier around the sage4s body, allowing it to absorb attacks from

all directions. &hould the user get close enough to grab the opponent, the barrier can absorb chakra

right out of an indi!idual4s body, effecti!ely draining them (similar to the hakraAbsorption #echnique). ;resumably, it is possible for the sage to use the absorbed chakraas his own.

The /uman +ath

#he :uman ;ath (人間道, >ingend) is the fourth path of the sage. #he :uman ;ath

gi!es the sage the capability of mind reading simply by placing its hand o!er the target4shead, and could e/tort any information or secret being hidden by the !ictim against

his6her will. #he most powerful and lethal ability possessed by the :uman ;ath is the

power to remo!e a li!ing target4s soul by ripping it out of his6her body, thus killing the!ictim.

The "sura +ath

#he Asura ;ath (修羅道

, &hurad) is the fifth of the sage4s &i/ ;aths. "t gi!es the sage power o!er the inanimate, allowing him to gi!e such things the semblence of life.

The Naraka +ath

#he >araka ;ath (地獄道, Jigokud) is the si/th path of the sage. "t has the power to

summon the King of :ell, a spiritual entity capable of interogation and judgement, and

restoration of things. #o interrogate, the >araka ;ath need only catch hold of a person,

causing the -uter ;ath to appear before them. 1ith the !ictim seemingly paraly%ed, the >araka ;ath begins questioning them. After answers are gi!en, the King of :ell will

un%ip its mouth to release tendril$like arms and would draw out an apparition of the

!ictim4s life force energy in the form of an enlarged tongue. #he King of :ell then

proceeds to pass its judgment. "f the person was lying or refused to answer the questions,

the King of :ell would remo!e their soul and consume it, killing them. :owe!er, if theytold the truth, they would be spared, although left e/tremely e/hausted.

#he second ability the >araka ;ath possessed is the ability to repair any damage. #o doso the >araka ;ath has the King of :ell ingest the damaged body with its tendril$like

arms into its mouth. #hen, after some time, the destroyed body will emerge from its

mouth, completely healed and reju!enated.

The #uter +ath

#he -uter ;ath (外道, 5ed) is the se!enth path of the sage, not included with the main



&i/ ;aths. "t has control o!er 'ife and eath, and is the ultimate meaning of the

8innegan.

Summoning) -emonic Statue of the #uter +ath

#his &ummon (Kuchiyose7 5edō &a2ō) is only usable by a possessor of the 8innegan.

#his summons a giant statue that releases multiple chakra rods from its abdomen that

pierce the user4s back. 1hen the rods are in place, the user uses the statue to spew adragon$like creature from its mouth, which remo!es the souls of any person it comes incontact with. After ser!ing its purpose, the chakra rods break off and remain embedded in

the user4s back while the statue disappears. #he technique seems to take a considerable

toll on the user, who becomes more and more emaciated for the duration of the technique. #uter +ath) Samsara of /ea,enl& Life Techni$ue

?uter =ath+ Samsara of /ea"enly @ife !echniue (5edō+ Rinne !ensei no Jutsu). +y channeling his power through the -uter ;ath, the user can re$infuse new life

force energy to the dead bodies of those recently killed. 1ith their reju!enated bodies

acting as an anchor, the indi!idual souls are then able to lea!e the crossroad between life

and the afterlife, returning back to their physical !essels. #he jutsu targets all the

indi!iduals killed, e!en those not necessarily killed by the sage. #here seems to be alimited time for when this technique can be used, as >agato is unable to bring back those

who ha!e remained dead for an e/tended period of time, such as Dahiko and Jiraiya. #histechnique requires a massi!e amount of chakra and can kill the user if he has to little, as it

resulted in >agato4s death due to chakra o!eruse. >agato became se!erely weakened, his

hair becoming increasingly thinner and grayer as he performed the technique. #hetechnique can be used a great distance from the user by employing the King of :ell.

Tailed !easts#here are nine giant demons called the #ailed +easts (+ijū) that inhabit the lanet. !hey are actually li"ing chakra in hysical form, often referred to as

*hakra &onsters. !he beasts are differentiated by the number of tailsthey ha"e, $ith each ossessing an amount from one to nine. !hey arelarge, li"ing forms of chakra, gi"ing them o$er that far outmatchesmost ninja. /o$e"er, this immense strength is temered due to theirbestial nature, $hich restricts them from being smart enough to use iteffecti"ely. Beasts sealed $ithin humans are able to benefit from thekno$ledge of their hosts, gi"ing them the ability to seak and betterutili2e their o$ers. "t seems that the tailed beasts were around before the 2irst 5reat >inja 1ar. #he shinobi

nations first in!ol!ed these demons by attempting to capture them and harnessing theirimmense chakra to defeat their enemies. After the 1ars, :ashirama &enju, the 2irst

:okage, managed to capture and control them with his 1ood 8elease techniques, andused them as a peace treaty to the other great shinobi nations, in order to stabili%e the

balance of power between them. After his death, howe!er, the shinobi nations couldn4tcontrol these giant demons themsel!es and they began to run wild. #heir attempts to

capture and harness them failed as no nation could control such immense power. #he

attempt was a failure as no nation was able to control such power. "nstead, the nationsmo!ed to capture the beasts and seal them in a human, a Jinchūriki. #his method worked

and by the time period of today, the only known tailed beast to ha!e not been sealed was



the #hree$#ails.

#he tailed beasts are nine gigantic demons of immense power. ach re!ealed tailed

beast is around the si%e of 5amabunta, who is o!er EFF meters tall. #hey aredifferentiated by the number of tails they ha!e, with each possessing an amount from one

to nine. #he tailed beasts are also known for possessing the 9ultimate chakra9 (more

accurately$ 9ultimate ki9 or chi), as they ha!e chakra le!els far beyond what most of thehuman characters possess. :owe!er, this immense strength is tempered due to their

bestial nature, which restricts some of them from being smart enough to use it effecti!ely.

+easts sealed within another person are able to benefit from the knowledge of their hosts,gi!ing them the ability to speak and better utili%e their powers.

Akatsuki is currently collecting the tailed beasts. #hey capture the hosts and take them

to a secret location where a three day long jutsu is performed to draw out the tailed beast

from the host. #hey possess se!en of the nine tailed beasts7 &hukaku, the one$tailed beast=the two$tailed demon cat= the three$tailed beast= the four$tailed beast= and three other

unknown beasts. All se!en of these tailed beasts ha!e been e/tracted and sealed. ;ain

claims that when all nine beasts are sealed, he will be able to create a jutsu powerful

enough to instantly wipe out a country.

(osts#hose within whom a tailed beast has been sealed are called Jinchūriki <lit. =o$er of/uman Sacrifice, 9&piritualist 0edium9), or simply hosts. "n most instances, they are

actually stronger than the tailed beast they contain, as they ha!e the knowledge to

effecti!ely control the tailed beast4s strength. ach of the hosts that ha!e appeared so far

also possesses a physical characteristic that resembles their beast R >aruto has fo/$like

whisker$marks, and 5aara has tanuki$like rings around his eyes, and the beast4s traits can become infused with the hosts personality. According to Akatsuki members, those who

host such creatures are typically lonely people who loathe humanity, and so far this has

initially been the case. 1hen Akatsuki captured their first two jinchūriki, no one fromtheir "illages cared, and in fact $ere thankful to be rid of them. #t isalso kno$n that the death of a host $ill result in the death of the tailedbeast $ithin, and the hosts seen thus far sometimes e5hibitin"oluntary defensi"e o$ers, such as aara's sand shield and>aruto's demon fo5 cloak. #he tailed beasts are also !ery protecti!e of their hosts

for that sole reason7 if the host dies, so does the demon inside. @ike$ise, theremo"al of the tailed beast results in the death of its host. >aruto takesthe $ord jinchūriki offensi"ely, regarding it as a dehumani2ing term.uring the reat Shinobi :ars, each country's /idden 1illage tried tomake use of the tailed beasts for military uroses, and cometed for

)ne*Tailed Shu+a+u



!he ?ne%!ailed Shukaku <#chibi no Shukaku, 9&hukaku the &and &pirit9, &una

no &hukaku, 9&hukaku of the &and9) has been in the possession of &unagakure for many

years, being sealed into two pre!ious citi%ens before being sealed in 5aara. "t was oncesaid to be a corrupted spirit of a &and priest that turned into a demon, but it is actually

one of the #ailed +easts. "t was originally sealed inside a tea kettle and then placed inside

its first host. 1hen Karura, the wife of 2ourth Ka%ekage, became pregnant, her husbandordered hiyo to seal &hukaku inside an unborn 5aara, but only after being remo!edfrom the second host. +efore she died gi!ing birth to 5aara, she cursed all the people of

&unagakure, including her husband, for what they had done. hiyo sealed it into 5aara

under the 2ourth Ka%ekage4s orders, and 5aara4s mother was used as a sacrifice for thesealing process.

&hukaku is intelligent but also incoherent, gi!ing him the demeanor of a drunkard= this

fits well with the typical depictions of tanuki in Japanese folklore. 'ike other tailed beasts, its innate rage and bloodlust influence its beha!ior, and it relishes in the

opportunity to kill anyone in sight. &hukaku looks somthing like a monsterous raccoon. "t

has powers o!er the sand and the wind, employing many different sand and air attacks.

As a host of &hukaku, 5aara has the ability to mo!e and le!itate sand at will. :e is alsogi!en constant protection by his sand, as it surrounds him to block any and all damage

regardless of his will. Also, the &hukaku haspower o!er air and wind, granting mastery

o!er these forces to his host as well. As a symbol of the beast sealed within him, 5aarahas &hukaku4s characteristic rings around his eyes. Although they are a part of his

physical appearance, their presence is further amplified by his lifelong insomnia= should

he fall asleep, &hukaku will supplant his personality and take control of his body. "f need be, 5aara can bring out &hukaku in battle to deal with more powerful opponents= 5aara

first creates a life$si%ed replica of &hukaku from sand that he is merged with at its

forehead. :e then forces himself to sleep to release the demon at its full power. -ncereleased &hukaku takes control of the sand$body to do with as he please until 5aara

awakens, suppressing its spirit once more.

Two*Tailed $e%on Cat#he #wo$#ailed emon at (>ibi no >ekomata) is a fire$breathing, blue$flamed flamingcat that was sealed within Dugito >ii of Kumogakure (:idden <illage of the loud). #he

demon cat was said to be a li!ing ghost. As the container of the demon cat her eyes are

slanted and cat$like. Dugito can materiali%e the demon cat4s form around her, gi!ing her

access to its fire$based abilities. espite transforming into the demon cat to fight them,Dugito is captured by Akatsuki members :idan and Kaku%o, though it is unknown which

member was specifically assigned to capture her. #he demon cat is later e/tracted from

her body, resulting in her death.

Three!Tailed -emon Turtle

#he #hree #ails (&anbi no Kame) is a gigantic, turtle$like demon. "n the past, the #hree$#ails was sealed within an unnamed shinobi from Kirigakure, later it seemed to ha!e

been e/tracted from its host for reasons unclear, and was set free in the wild. After which,

the giant turtle li!ed in a lake and remained uncaptured by any shinobi. According to#sunade, the #hree$#ails was lost after the great war. "ts abilities remain unclear. "t is

clearly quite fast despite its si%e, as e!idenced by its ability to keep up with #obi. "t is



different from the &hukaku and the demon fo/ as it isn4t intelligent, which makes it little

more than a wild animal. According to eidara, lacking a host made the beast weaker

because it wasn4t intelligent enough to control its own strength. "ts skin is !ery hard, ableto shatter rystal 8elease techniques with ease, it could also unleash a powerful roar

attack that can repel matter, the roar also appears to ha!e some relation to sonics as it

could shatter crystals due to the high frequency, finally it has control o!er water, able tomenifest many water technique, including a G*FL tidal wa!e technique that can cause

large scale damage. "t has limited genjutsu capabilities that enables it to create a powerful

fog that can cause animals to become confused and people to hallucinate. -ne otherability that the #hree$#ails has been shown to use was the opening of a portal to a

separate dimension within the lake that it had appeared from. 1hether or not this ability

is e/clusi!e to the #hree$#ails or if the other #ailed creatures can use it as well is

unknown. "t has also not been re!ealed if the #ailed +easts reside within their owndimension together or separated.

The "ine*Tailed $e%on ,ox#he >ine$#ailed emon 2o/ (Kyūbi no 4ōkō 5itsune, 9>ine$#ailed 2o/

&pirit6emon9) is the most powerful of the tailed beasts. "ts power is such that it isregarded as an age$old natural disaster attracted to areas where human malice festered, asa single swipe of one of its nine tails is enough to raise tsunamis and flatten mountains. "t

has limitless chakra and massi!e strength. At an unknown time, the demon fo/ met with

the founder of the ?chiha clan, ?chiha 0adara, who used his 0angekyo &haringan tocontrol it and he used the demon fo/ to battle against &enju :ashirama (the first :okage),

leader of the &enju lan of the 2orest, at the <alley of the nd for the title :okage, but

0adara lost. #wel!e years ago 0adara ?chiha used his 0angekyo &haringan to ha!e the

fo/ attack Konohagakure. >one of the ninja of the !illage were able to defeat it until the2ourth :okage, 0inato >amika%e, arri!ed to deal with it with the aid 5amabunta, among

the greatest of the toad spirits. After 0inato defeated it, he sealed the demon fo/ within

>aruto, breaking 0adara4s control o!er it. !er since then, the demon fo/ has a specialloathing for the &haringan and those who uses it, e!en remarking &asuke ?chiha4s eyes

and chakra was far more sinister than its own, because his &haringan reminded it of

0adara. 0inato sacrificed his life to seal the fo/ into the body of his newborn son, >aruto ?%umaki. 8ather than completely seal off the fo/4s great power, howe!er, 0inato

only sealed away a portion of it, gi!ing >aruto access to the rest for unknown reasons.

0inato left a key to Jiraiya that could either strengthen or weaken the fo/4s seal shouldthe need arise. #he seal naturally becomes weaker as the years pass, and in the e!ent that

it is broken the demon fo/ will be released.

As far as its personality goes, the demon fo/ is a beast of almost complete male!olence.

"t is intelligent, and has a scathing and sadistic personality. :owe!er, it does ha!e a sense

of honor, and possesses a loathing respect for >aruto and the 2ourth :okage.Additionally, it has a distinct sense of pride and became rather angry and scornful at

>aruto when he rejected its chakra, though this might ha!e merely been anger o!ermissing an opportunity to partially usurp control o!er >aruto4s mind and body and thus

weakening the seal. #he demon fo/ relishes the thought of killing >aruto, but it knows it

has to help as long as it is sealed within him or it will die. #he only initial indication that >aruto is the fo/4s host are the whisker marks on his face

and his ability to rapidly heal from injuries and fatigue, and an almost unri!aled stamina.



-nce learning of the fo/4s presence within him, >aruto makes better usage of its chakra

by performing jutsu that would ordinarily be impossible for ninja of his age. #he near$

limitless chakra allows >aruto to perform his signature jutsu, &hadow lone #echnique,seemingly without limit. :e is e!en able to summon 5amabunta, a normally Kage$le!el

feat requiring a huge amount of chakra proportionate to the si%e of the summoned

creature. #hough small amounts of the fo/4s chakra constantly mi/ with >aruto4s own, hecan draw upon its reser!es in two ways7 he can enter his own subconscious and con!erse

with the fo/ to ask for a donation of its strength. Alternati!ely, he can succumb to rage,

allowing the fo/4s !iolent personality to influence his own during e/treme emotionalstates or life$threatening situations. As >aruto draws upon greater amounts of its chakra

the fo/ begins to manifest itself in the form of a fo/$shaped red aura with multiple tails.

>aruto can only maintain control o!er his mind for the first three tails= at the fourth, he

loses all sense of self and readily attacks anyone nearby, lea!ing only destruction in hiswake. "n these instances, the fo/ can only be stopped by suppressing its influence, either

with Damato4s 0okuton abilities or with a special seal created by Jiraiya that is directly

applied to >aruto4s body.

"n the few instances where >aruto con!erses with the fo/ it is shown to ha!e a loathingrespect for both >aruto and 0inato. 1hile the fo/ initially complies to >aruto4s requests

out of curiosity, it later does so in an attempt to further its influence o!er >aruto andweaken the seal. "t also acts in order to preser!e its own well$being, as >aruto4s death

would also result in its own.

to a card, it becomes in!isible. -nly the person who placed the information in the card

can make it !isible to others, by channeling his chakra into the card. #hat person can alsoattune the card to other people (whom he must know), allowing those people to make the

information !isible with their chakra. #his feature of the information cards is what makesthem so useful to shinobi spies, and those who wish to deli!er information without fear ofunauthori%ed people !iewing it. ards can be purged of the information they store,

making them reusable.

with the e/ception that the alchemical compound making them is added with pepper, oranother irritating mi/ture of herbs, and they are deep red in color. #hose e/posed to the

smoke begin to caugh, snee%e, itch, and feel a burning sensation in their moths and

throats if they inhale the smoke.

+oison Smoke Bom4s) #hese small pellets, dark green or purple in color, are like smoke bombs, e/cept the smoke they create is a poisonous smoke (oku Kemuri). #he potency

of the poison depends on the one used during the creation of the bomb.

works changes. #he user can make it e/plode immediately, or after a certain period oftime elapses. #he strength of the e/plosion depends on the making of the tag$ the amount

of chakra in the seal and the inscription. #he weakest tags can only create a small burst of

flame, while the most powerful ones can create a huge e/plosion.

S1ecial +ills

#hroughout the years, shinobi ha!e ha!e created !arious special medicines and drugs toassist them in !arious situations. &ome of those are listed below.

Food +ills) #he food pill is a small, round, brown pill that is closely related to the more

potent soldier pill. A food pill, as it name implies is high in nutritional !alue, and can be a

substitute for a meal. "n addition, the food pill helps a person quickly reco!er his chakra,allowing him to return to action quickly.

Soldier +ills) #he soldier pill (:yourou 5an) is a special medicine that comes in the

form of a small, round, black pill, and that allows a person who uses it to fight three days

and three nights straight (gi!e or take). "t is high in protein, and is quickly absorbed intothe body. "t also has substances that act as both a stimulus and tranquilli%er. Another

effect of the pill, deri!ed from its main function on the body, is to temporarily double a person4s chakra (ki6chi).

Blood Clotting +ills) #he blood clotting pill comes in the form of a small, round, dark

red pill. #his alchemical medicine spreads quickly throughout the body, hasteningclotting of blood in open wounds both e/ternal and internal. "t also causes the body to, for

a short period, produce blood !ery quickly, to compesatefor blood loss.

Secret Food +ills of the "kimichi Clan

#he Akimichi lan, whose techniques require a lot of body energy to use (the ouble

&i%e technique, to name one), has de!eloped special food pills to allow them to take on

just about most opponents, taking ad!antage of their !ast bodily resources. #he set ofthree pills they de!eloped is !ery useful and !ery powerful, but also !ery dangerous, e!en

to them. ach pill contains an e/tremely huge amount of energy, and consumes bodily

resources in the form of fat, cholesterol, and callories to bring about e/traordinary effects,gaining an e/plosi!e burst of power, but this rapid burning of body resources turns !ery

painful e!entually. ach pill, in order, has more effect, and is thus more dangerous. "t is a

trump card not to be used lightly, but only when all other options ha!e been e/hausted.

#hese three pills come in a small, transperent, three compartment container.

Green S1inach +ill) #his large green pill, the spinach (:ouren) pill, the first in the set,

increases the user4s strength tenfold, allowing him to perform e/traordinary feats of

strength. "t also enhances the user4s chakra as a result. Alone, it is sufficient to take onmost ri!als.

:ello Curr& +ill) #he second in the set, this large yellow$orange pill has the same

effects as the green pill, but its effect on the user4s chakra is phenomenal, more thanquadrupling it, allowing the user to perform powerful jutsus and draw on monstrous

strength.

(ed +e11er +ill) 'ast of the set, and the most dangerous, the large red pepper pill

increases the user4s strength and chakra a hundredfold. #he effect is so e/traordinary that



his chakra actually takes form around him. #he shape depends on the user, butit is always

remarkable to behold. #he use of this last pill is at best e/tremely dangerous, and at

worst$ suicidal. 2ew can sur!i!e its side$effects.

Secret Bug (e1elent of the "4urame Clan) #he Aburame clan speciali%es in bugs and

bug techniques. As a result, they ha!e a much better understanding and knowledge in thisfield. #he secret bug repelent formula they ha!e created is superior to any other. #his

pale la!ender liquid is capable of repeling any insect, protecting the user from irritating

nuisance or serious attack in!ol!ing bugs."%umo (bandage and spikes), Kotetsu (bandana and smooth hair)
