Naruto jutsu
|
|
In the anime and manga series Naruto a jutsu (術, "Technique" or "Skill" in Japanese) is a general term referring to any technique a ninja might use that not any ordinary human could naturally imitate. In some cases the line between a simple action and a Jutsu is blurred and vague, allowing for some humor (Uzumaki Naruto: "What? How did you get loose?!" Uchiha Sasuke: "Rope Untying no Jutsu. It's basic stuff.")
Jutsu are usually the product of channeling chakra to a certain part or parts of the body (through the inner coil system, which is to chakra as blood vessels are to blood) and then manipulating it to create an effect which wouldn't be possible otherwise. If the inner coil system malfunctions or is blocked in any way, it is impossible to perform any jutsu at all.
The English version of the Naruto manga has English names for the attacks, which are often stated with the attacks' Japanese names in translations starting in 2005. The North American Naruto fanbase prefers to use the Japanese as of April 2005.
Naruto Jutsu
Generally speaking, Jutsu are divided into three categories: Taijutsu (Body techniques), Genjutsu (Mind techniques) and Ninjutsu (Techniques that rely on sources beyond those). Besides these main categories there are another, more specific categorie: Fūin jutsu (Sealing techniques).
Besides being either Ninjutsu, Taijutsu or Genjutsu a jutsu can also be "Hiden" (秘伝, "Secret"). Hiden jutsu are jutsu passed down from generation to generation within some clans.
There is technically another category called Kinjutsu (禁術, "Forbidden Techniques"), but it refers not to the type of the jutsu but to the fact that it is forbidden to learn or perform it.
There are also Kekkei genkai. These are not really jutsu, but special, genetically inherited abilities like the ability to copy other jutsu or to merge your body with other bodies. Kekkei genkai abilities that work via the user's eye are called Dōjutsu (瞳術, "Pupil Techniques").
Some jutsu are based on Kekkei Genkai, like Tsukuyomi.
Ranking
There are seven different ranks in jutsu:
S-rank: Secret: extreme level jutsu
A-rank: Kinjutsu: ultra high level jutsu
B-rank: Jōnin level jutsu
C-rank: Chūnin level jutsu
D-rank: Genin level jutsu
E-rank: Academy student level jutsu
No rank: Jutsu relying on the unique abilities of the users (Kekkei genkai, Hiden jutsu)
Genjutsu (Illusion Techniques)
- Genjutsu (幻術, "Illusion Techniques") are techniques that use the chakra in the victim's nervous system to create illusions; an advanced intellectual Ninjutsu. The most commonly seen Genjutsu is simple creation of phantasms- causing the targeted person to hear, see, smell, taste and feel things that are not actually there in order to manipulate them; other applications of Genjutsu are rare.
- There is a way to counter Genjutsu. Because it uses the victim's own chakra against him, he can cancel the genjutsu by trying to stop, and thereby disrupt, his own chakra flow. This is called Genjutsu Kai (幻術解, "Illusion Technique Cancel"). If this doesn't work, then the only way for the victim to cancel the Genjutsu is having someone else disrupt his chakra flow with theirs through body contact

When used, the Mangekyō user can control all aspects in a virtual reality world, able to dig deep into one's mind and exploit his mental weaknesses. Victims to Tsukuyomi are in extreme pain in a world where time is lost.
Taijutsu (Body Techniques)
- Taijutsu (体術, "Body techniques", or more figuratively hand-to-hand combat) refers to any techniques involving the martial arts or the optimisation of natural human abilities in general. In some cases chakra is involved to enhance the techniques, but generally speaking a Taijutsu user can fare well without much chakra available compared to a Genjutsu or Ninjutsu user.
Asakujaku (Morning Peacock)

Using this tremendous burst of power and speed, he will approach his opponent in a distinctive stance. When near enough, he will kick his opponent and launch them into the air.

Hakke Kusho (Eight Trigrams Empty Palm)
- Name: Hakke Kūshō, 八卦空掌, literally "Eight Trigrams Empty Palm"
- Type: Unknown, probably: Kekkei genkai, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Hyūga Neji
- This jutsu pushes the victim away violently, from a distance.
Hakke Rokujuyon Sho (Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms)
- Name: Hakke Rokujūyon Shō, 八卦六十四掌 , literally "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms" (a.k.a. "Divination Field," "Divine Sixty-Four Strikes" and "64 Hands of Hakke".)
- Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Hyūga Neji
- Commonly acknowledged as the pinnacle of the Gentle Fist Style, the user must be able to see the Chakra holes (tenketsu, 点穴, "pressure points")) of the opponent and execute it with incredible dexterity and precision in order for it to be effective. In a series of two strikes, followed by two more, followed by four, followed by eight, followed by sixteen, followed by thirty-two, followed by a dazzling sixty-four consecutive pinpoint-precision strikes, this jutsu closes the 64 tenketsu of the opponent completely, making it very problematic to stay standing up and impossible to execute jutsu (unless an alternate chakra source is available, which is exceedingly rare). This jutsu is passed down in the Hyūga main house, but it is theoretically possible to figure it out on one's own if they have the huge amount of talent required to do so (Hyūga Neji being the only known example). In the Anime Neji has developed an enhancement, Hakke Hyaku Nijūha shō ("Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms"), which essentially means a doubled attack speed and doubled capability.
Hakke Hyaku Nijuha Sho (Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms)
- Name: Hakke Hyaku Nijūha Shō, 八卦百二十八掌, Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms (a.k.a. "Divination Field: or Divine One Hundred-Twenty Eight Strikes")
- Type: Unknown, probably: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Hyūga Neji
- Hakke Hyaku Nijūha Shō is a jutsu used only in the Naruto Anime, therefore it's generally not seen as canon.
- This jutsu is an advancement of the Hakke Rokujūyon Shō (Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms). Hakke Hyuka Nijūha Shō is first used by Hyūga Neji to protect himself from the Amagumo (Rain of Spiders) released from Kidōmaru's Spider Summoning. Assumably, this technique would strike each of the special 64 Tenketsu (chakra holes) twice when directed at a single, humanoid opponent, an even more devastating blow than the Sixty-Four Palms. Also of note, the attacks in this technique are made at a much higher speed than the Sixty-Four Palms, making it even more dangerous. Kidōmaru said "If I take a direct hit from that [the One Hundred Twenty Eight Palms], I'm finished." when he saw Neji use this technique to defend against his attacks.
Hakkesho Kaiten (Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin)
- Name: Hakkeshō Kaiten, 八卦掌回天, literally "Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin" (a.k.a. "Divine Whirl" or "Divine Spin")
- Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Hyūga Neji, Hyūga Hiashi
- A very advanced Taijutsu passed down in the Hyūga main house, it uses a solid amount of chakra expelled from the whole body- as opposed to imprecise bursts from only specific parts of the body, which is the most even your typical Jōnin can manage- to stop any attack in its tracks, then push it back with equal force, making it a very efficient defense and also making it possible to use it as an offense. Despite it being a secret jutsu passed only in the Hyūga main house, Hyūga Neji of the Branch house has mastered it by himself, which is a testimony to his genius.
Hien (Flying Swallow)
- Name: Hien, 飛燕, literally "Flying Swallow"
- Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Sarutobi Asuma
Juken (Gentle Fist)
- Name: Jūken, 柔拳, literally "Gentle Fist"
- Type: Unknown, probably: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Hyūga Neji, Hyūga Hinata, Hyūga Hiashi
- The inner coil system that transfers chakra around the body is very close and is essentially a part of all of the human body, including crucial organs. Members of the Hyūga clan train in a special fighting style that requires the Byakugan and excellent chakra control; through the Byakugan they are able to see the opponent's inner coil system which they forcefully channel their own chakra into, causing severe damage to organs nearby. The technique earned its name because even a seemingly gentle, unimpressive hit can prove lethal.
Kage Buyo (Shadow of the Dancing Leaf)
- Name: Kage Buyō, 影舞葉, Literally "Shadow of the Dancing Leaf", Viz "Shadow of the Dancing Leaf" (a.k.a. "Shadow Leaf Dance")
- Type: C-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Rock Lee, Uchiha Sasuke
- While the target is airborne, the user jumps in such a way as to appear below the target while following a similar trajectory through the air. Since the victim is airborne, he is in a vulnerable position to a more damaging attack such as Omote Renge or Shishi Rendan.
Karamatsu no Mai (Dance of the Larch)
- Name: Karamatsu no Mai, 唐松の舞, literally "Dance of the Larch" (a.k.a. "Dance of the Pines")
- Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Kimimaro
- When used, razor-sharp bones quickly grow out all over the user's body. Not only does this surprise opponents and make it difficult for them to fight in melee range, but the user's body becomes a deadly weapon.
Konoha Daisenpu (Leaf Great Whirlwind)
- Name: Konoha Daisenpū, 木ノ葉大旋風, literally "Leaf Great Whirlwind"
- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Rock Lee
Konoha Gorikki Senpu (Leaf Strong Whirlwind)
- Name: Konoha Gōrikii Senpū, 木ノ葉剛力旋風, literally "Leaf Strong Whirlwind"
- Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Maito Gai
Konoha Reppu (Leaf Gale)
Konoha Senpu (Konoha Hurricane)
- Name: Konoha Senpū, 木ノ葉旋風, literally "Leaf Whirlwind" (a.k.a. Viz Konoha Hurricane, "Konoha Whirlwind")
- Type: D-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Rock Lee
- This Jutsu is mainly a set-up one, and consists of kicking the opponent high into the air, thus leaving them vulnerable to a subsequent more powerful attack (usually Kage Buyō, Shadow of the Dancing Leaf).
Konoha Shofu (Leaf Rising Wind)
- Name: Konoha Shōfū, 木ノ葉昇風, literally "Leaf Rising Wind"
- Type: Unknown, probably: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Rock Lee
Nikudan Hari Sensha (Spiked Human Bullet Tank)
- Name: Nikudan Hari Sensha, 肉弾針戦車, literally "Spiked Human Bullet Tank" (a.k.a. "Spiked Meat Tank")
- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Akimichi Chōji
- Basically the same as the Nikudan Sensha, but before beginning the roll, Chōji wraps himself in kunai tied to strings.
Nikudan Sensha (Human Juggernaut)
- Name: Nikudan Sensha, 肉弾戦車, literally "Human Bullet Tank" Viz "Human Juggernaut" (a.k.a. Meat Tank)
- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Akimichi Chōji
- Human Juggernaut is a jutsu passed down in the Akimichi clan. The Baika no Jutsu (Art of Expansion) is typically performed beforehand. This jutsu sends the user into a powerful roll, turning them into a ball of destruction—but uses a high amount of food energy.
Omote Renge (Front Lotus)
- Name: Omote Renge, 表蓮華, literally "Front Lotus" (a.k.a. "Primary Lotus" or "Initial Lotus")
- Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Rock Lee
- This technique puts a lot of strain on the user's muscle fibers, and is basically a suicidal attack. Normally, humans use the power of their muscles at only about 20 percent of its full power; the brain regulates muscle usage to ensure this, since any higher and the muscles will be damaged or destroyed. The Omote Renge requires the opening of one of the inner celestial gates- the Initial Gate, which releases the brain's regulation on muscle usage. The result is a much more powerful brand of Taijutsu than normal, but at the cost of damage to the user.
Rakanken (Achiever of Nirvana Fist)
Sennen Goroshi (One Thousand Years of Death)
- Name: Konohagakure Hiden: Taijutsu no Ōgi: Sennen Goroshi, 木ノ葉聡れ秘伝・体術の奥義・千年殺し, literally "Hidden Leaf Secret: Taijutsu Supreme Technique: A Thousand Years of Death" (a.k.a. "Sennen Gurushi, 千年苦し, Thousand Years of Pain" or "Hidden Leaf Ancient Taijutsu Supreme Technique: A Thousand Years of Death")
- Type: E-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Hatake Kakashi, Uzumaki Naruto
- A very simple Taijutsu technique with a very over-dramatised name. Forcefully plunges the user's fingers into the vicinity of the victim's rectal regions. Sakura dubbed it the "Super Powerful Ass-Poke". However, Naruto figured out the true meaning of the Taijutsu: it was mainly used with a pointed object (usually a kunai), in order to attack the blindspot of the enemy. When combined with explosive seals, it can even damage Gaara in his semi transformed mode.
- The Naruto manga lists the technique as 千年殺し (Sennen Goroshi), as does the manual for Naruto: Gekitou Ninjataisen 2 (and ostensibly the first, as well), a Gamecube title which saw release only in Japan. This wording means "The Kill of a Thousand Years" instead of "1,000 Years of Pain". It could be construed that the original fansubbers, when translating the fourth episode of Naruto (the first appearance of the jutsu) heard the name as "Sennen Gurushi, 千年苦し", which does mean something along the lines of "1,000 Years of Pain". Both names are provided for reference. see also: Kancho
Shishi Rendan (Lion Combo)
- Name: Shishi Rendan, 獅子連弾, literally "Lion Combo"
- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Close range (0-5m)
- Users: Uchiha Sasuke
- The result of Uchiha Sasuke copying Rock Lee's similar combo. While not able to completely emulate Rock Lee's agility and power, the Sharingan allowed him to gain the ability to push himself to achieve a similar effect, and the result was a copied Kage Buyo followed by a series of kicks to the falling target. It isn't devastating as Lee's Lotus techniques, but also isn't nearly as dangerous to perform, and is quite effective against most targets.
Suiken (Drunken Fist)
- Name: Suiken, 酔拳, literally "Drunken Fist"
- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Rock Lee
- The Drunken Fist (Suiken) is an unusual style of taijutsu combat where the user takes in enough alcohol to become intoxicated (hence the name), causing them to become unpredictable and highly dangerous. Suiken is not a fighting style that one can learn or train in, nor is it a bloodline limit, but more of a natural talent that one is born with.
Tarenken (Multiple Connecting Punches)
- Name: Tarenken, 多連拳, literally "Multiple Connecting Punches"
- Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Sakon, Ukon

- Name: Tarenkyaku, 多連脚, literally "Multiple Connecting Kicks"
- Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)

Tessenka no Mai: Tsuru (Dance of the Clematis: Vine)
- Name: Tessenka no Mai: Tsuru, 鉄線花の舞・蔓, literally "Dance of the Clematis: Vine"
- Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Kimimaro
- Kimimaro pulls out his own spine to use as a weapon. For this attack, the length of bone becomes a spiked whip-chain weapon, which wraps around the target and holds them in place.
Tsubaki no Mai (Dance of the Camellia)
- Name: Tsubaki no Mai, 椿の舞, literally "Dance of the Camellia"
- Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Kimimaro
- Performed when a member of the Kaguya clan pulls out their bone in their arm and uses it as a sword. The quick movements of the blade and slicing technique make this a formidable dance. This is powerful and useful since the bones in the clan are compressed to maximum density so the sword is strong as steel. It can make short-work of an army of people and it's very strong for such a small blade.
Tsutenkyaku (Painful Sky Leg)
- Name: Tsūtenkyaku, 痛天脚, literally "Painful Sky Leg"
- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Tsunade
Ura Renge (Reverse Lotus)
Yanagi no Mai (Dance of the Willow)
- Name: Yanagi no Mai, 柳の舞, literally "Dance of the Willow"
- Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Kimimaro
- To perform this dance the Kaguya clan member has long bones come out from the palms of his hands to be used as stabbing swords. The blades are fairly long and are very strong. The clan can use both of these bone hand blades to stab, slice or impale their opponent. With quick movements and jabs this is a formidable dance.
Ninjutsu (Ninja Techniques)
- Ninjutsu (忍術, "Ninja Techniques") is hard to define; it is basically any technique that does not fall under either Taijutsu or Genjutsu, which means that it uses sources outside those naturally available to the body or the mind to accomplish its task. Ninjutsu relies on chakra and hand seals (Sequential positions the hands are put into in order to channel chakra effectively).
Amagumo (Rain of Spiders)
- Name: Amagumo, 雨蜘蛛, literally "Rain of Spiders"
- Type: B-rank, Offensive, All ranges
- Users: Kidōmaru
- After Kidōmaru summons his giant spider, it will release an egg sac full of "baby" spiders. These large spiders will then rain down upon his opponent. The spiders will spin a strand of webbing as they fall, as they circle the opponent the webbing will stick and bind onto the target.
Amaterasu
- Name: Amaterasu, 天照, literally "Shining Heaven"
- Type: Kekkei Genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Uchiha Itachi
- Named after the Shinto sun goddess, this legendary jutsu is unknown outside of the fire manipulating Uchiha clan. The jet-black flames are said to be as hot as the Sun, and the first time touching them will be your last. It is said that this jutsu is named after the Shinto goddess of the Sun because it continues to burn for seven days and seven nights. Since the Mangekyō Sharingan is necessary to activate this jutsu, not many have learned it and therefore details of this jutsu are yet unrevealed.
- Itachi uses Amaterasu to break through Jiraiya's Gamaguchi Shibari.
Baika no Jutsu (The Art of Expansion)

- Type: E-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, etc.
- This is a basic technique known to all genin. Bunshin no Jutsu creates a clone of the user, which can used to create a diversion or cause confusion. Unlike Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Art of the Shadow Doppelganger), these clones aren't real, and thus cannot do any damage.
Chidori
- Name: Chidori, 千鳥, literally "One Thousand Birds" (see also "Raikiri")
- Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Uchiha Sasuke, Hatake Kakashi
- A very powerful technique, it needs a huge amount of chakra, so much that it is visible around the user's hand. Once the hand has been charged with a sufficient amount of chakra, it can be plunged into the enemy quickly and powerfully, creating a single, devastating thrust which is usually aimed at the heart, where it would do the most damage. Its name comes from the noise the technique makes, which sounds like the song of a thousand birds. Chidori is an original technique of Hatake Kakashi, one of only two known users, the other being Uchiha Sasuke.

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

The shadow can also be connected with the shadows of other objects to extend its range. Shikamaru can only hold the jutsu for about 5 minutes.

However, Lightning Blade is used in respect to Kakashi and given the designation S-rank whereas Sasuke's Chidori is an A-rank since Kakashi's attack is more powerful than Sasuke's.

- Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Uzumaki Naruto, Jiraiya, Yondaime Hokage
- A Ninjutsu technique incorporating the chakra control needed for both the tree climbing training and water walking training.

It does have a drawback, however, the Rasengan needs great chakra control. It is a self-sustaining technique so once the chakra is molded, the user doesn't need any more chakra. It requires no hand seals and can be used with one (definite) or both hands (in theory). Before the timeskip, when Naruto uses this technique, he typically uses a clone to generate the swirl while the main body holds the chakra in his hand. Afterward, Naruto was shown to be able to execute a Rasengan easily using one hand.
