Naruto jutsus

In the fictional anime/manga 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.")

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

Naruto Jutsus

Generally speaking, Jutsus are divided into three categories: Taijutsu (Body Techniques), Genjutsu (Mind Techniques) and Ninjutsu (Techniques that rely on sources beyond those). There is technically another category called Kinjutsu (Forbidden techniques), but it refers not to the type of the jutsu but to the fact that it is forbidden to learn or perform it.

Genjutsu (幻術)

Genjutsu ("Eye techniques", or more figuratively Mind Techniques) are techniques that rely on chakra-enhanced deception or manipulation of another person's mind. The most commonly seen Genjutsu is simple creation of phantasms- causing the targeted person to hear, see, smell, taste and feel things that are not actually there in order to manipulate them; other applications of Genjutsu are rare.

Art of the Doppelganger

Art of the Doppelganger (Bunshin no Jutsu, 分身の術, literally "Clone Technique") creates illusory duplicates of the user. It is impossible to tell which is the real ninja and which are illusions; clones generated by this technique, however, cannot attack anything as they are not physical beings.

The Art of the Doppelganger is one of the most basic ninja techniques and mastering it is required in order for one to graduate from Leaf Village's academy, and presumably any academy, and become a Genin.

Cancel

This jutsu utilises chakra and the user's willpower to overcome other Genjutsu. It seems that only Jōnin-level ninjas and up are able to use it effectively. However, academically gifted genins such as Sakura and Shikamaru are able to use this technique.

Art of Transformation

Art of Transformation (Henge no Jutsu, 変化の術, literally "Transformation Technique") is a very common and basic skill, it gives the user the appearance of another person or object. Mastering it is required to graduate from the ninja academy of Leaf Village (And presumably all other academies).

Ninja Harem

Ninja Harem (Harem no Jutsu, ハーレムの術, literally "Harem Technique") was developed by Uzumaki Naruto. Both Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, this jutsu combines Art of the Doppelganger (Bunshin no Jutsu) and Ninja Centerfold (Oroike no Jutsu) to create a legion of beautiful naked women lavishing attention on the victim, often causing male victims nosebleeds so severe that they are knocked out (due to a combination of Newton's third law of motion and cartoon logic), not to mention severe shell-shock. This jutsu is yet to be defeated.

Tsukiyomi

("God of the Moon") A genjutsu technique that is one of the three most powerful Uchiha jutsus coming from the Mangekyo Sharingan. When used, the mangekyo user can control all aspects in the virtual reality world, able to dig deep into one's mind and exploit his mental weaknesses. Victims to Tsukiyomi are in extreme pain constantly in a world where time is lost.

Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu (朧分身の術)

("Mist Clone Technique") The Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu creates illusory clones of the user from mist. Those clones are indistinguishable from the original, but cannot attack and disappear when hit.

Ninja Centerfold

Ninja Centerfold (Oiroke no Jutsu, お色気の術, literally "Sexy Technique") is a derivative of Art of Transformation (Henge no Jutsu) developed by Uzumaki Naruto. The user assumes the appearance of a beautiful naked woman, often causing male victims nosebleeds so severe that they are knocked out. This technique has defeated Konoha's 3rd Hokage. This technique is called Sexy no Jutsu by many North American Naruto fans.

Taijutsu (体術)

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

Baika no Jutsu (倍化の術)

("Double-Size Technique") A special technique passed down in the Akimichi Clan which allows the user to increase the size of one part or even all of their body for a short time. It uses up lots of calories.

Byakugan (Mind Read, 白眼 (読心))

("White Eye (Mind Read)"). Those who possess the Byakugan are able to notice the subtle shifts of people's eyes and body and use them to get the general idea of the emotions and thoughts they are experiencing. They also have an improved line of sight with a 360° field of vision (except for a tiny blind spot behind the first thoracic vertebrate of the user), the ability to see through and around many objects, and the ability to see the inner coil system that transports chakra through the body. In advanced cases they can also see the opening points, which in theory gives them the ability to shut down an opponent's chakra flow completely.

Chakra Kyūshū (チャクラ放出)

("Energy Absorption") see Naruto advanced bloodlines.

Chidori (千鳥)

("A Thousand Birds") a very powerful technique, it needs a huge amount of Chakra, so much that it is visible around the user's hand. Once the hand has been charged with a sufficient amount of chakra, it can be plunged into the enemy quickly and powerfully, creating a single, devastating fist which is usually aimed at the heart, where it would do the most damage. It is said that Kakashi once used this Jutsu to cut though lightning, which is why he gave it the nickname Lightning Blade.

Gatsūga (牙通牙)

("Piercing Fang") The user, usually with at least one partner (which makes this technique much more effective), spins at a ferocious speed and delivers many powerful beastlike attacks when contact is made with the target.

Hakke Rokujū-yon Shō (八卦六十四掌)

("The Sixty-Four Point Palms") Currently acknowledged as the pinnacle of the Gentle Fist Style, the user must be able to see the Chakra holes 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 a dazzling thirty-two consecutive pinpoint-precision strikes, this jutsu closes the chakra holes of the opponent completely, making it very problematic to stay standing up and impossible to execute jutsus (unless an alternate chakra source is available, which is exceedingly rare). This jutsu is passed down in the Hyuga 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 (Hyuga Neji being the only known example).

Hakke-Shō Kaiten (八卦掌 回天)

("Heavenly Spin") A very advanced Taijutsu technique passed down in the Hyuga 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 both a very efficient defense and offense. Despite it being a secret Jutsu passed only in the Hyuga main house, Hyuga Neji of the branch house has mastered it by himself, which is a testimony to his genius.

Hidden Leaf Ancient Taijutsu Supreme Technique: A Thousand Years of Pain

A very simple Taijutsu technique with a very over-dramatised name. Forcefully plunges the user's fingers into the vicinity of the victim's rectal regions. Sakura dubbed it the "Super Powerful Ass-Poke".

Jūken (柔拳)

("Gentle Fist") The inner coil system that transfers chakra around the body is very close and is essentially a part of all of the human body, including crucial organs. Members of the Hyuga clan train in a special fighting style that requires the Byakūgan 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.

Kagebuyo

Kagebuyo (影舞葉 Kagebuyō, literally Shadow of the Dancing Leaf) A technique used to attach the user to their opponent's shadow. Once done, the victim is in a vulnerable position to a more damaging attack such as Initial Lotus or Lion Combo.

Kage Shuriken no Jutsu (影手裏剣の術)

("Shadow Shuriken Technique") This technique consists of throwing two shuriken, one normally and the other hiding in the first one's shadow. The target focuses on the first one and is often hit by the second.

Konoha Hurricane

The Konoha Hurricane (Konoha Senpū (木の葉旋風 "Leaf Spinning Wind") - This Jutsu is mainly a set-up one, and consists of kicking the opponent high into the air, thus leaving them vulnerable to a subsequent more powerful attack (usually Naruto jutsus#Kagebuyo, Shadow of the Dancing Leaf).

Nikudan Sensha (肉弾戦車)

("Meat Tank") A jutsu passed down in the Akimichi clan. The Multi-Size Technique is typically performed beforehand. This jutsu sends the user into a powerful roll, turning them into a ball of destruction- but uses a high amount of calories.

Omote Renge (表蓮華)

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

Sharingan (Copy, 車輪眼(コピー))

("Copy Wheel Eye - Copy") Available only to those who possess the Sharingan and its most famous ability, the user's natural "watch and learn" ability is boosted to inhumane accuracy, enabling them to see, imitate, register and memorise any movement almost perfectly. This enables Sharingan users to use any technique they have watched with the Sharingan later, given that they have all the required parameters to perform the jutsu (such as chakra control, physical fitness or an advanced bloodline); the sharingan isn't a magic shortcut around anything but the process of learning.

Shishi Rendan (獅子連弾)

("Lion Combo") The result of Uchiha Sasuke copying Rock Lee's similar combo. While not able to emulate Rock Lee's agility or power, the Sharingan let him figure how to push himself to achieve the closest thing possible, and this was the result. It isn't as fast or effective as Rock Lee's version and imposes fatigue upon Sasuke, but is still very powerful.

Ura Renge (裏蓮華)

("Extreme Lotus") This technique puts a lot of strain on the user's muscle fibers, and is basically a suicidal attack. Normally, humans use the power of their muscles at only about 20 percent of its full power; the brain regulates muscle usage to ensure this, since any higher and the muscles will be damaged or destroyed. This Jutsu releases the brain's regulation, much like the Initial Lotus, but goes beyond it in power, speed, and self damage. The user opens three of the body's inner celestial gates: First the Initial Gate to release the brain's limits, followed by opening the Heal Gate to raise their stamina and finally the life gate, which enables entering the extreme lotus. The result is Taijutsu of a force and speed that are incredibly powerful and far beyond the scope of any other Taijutsu, but at the cost of terrible damage to and usually ripping of the user's muscles.

Uzumaki Naruto Rendan (うずまきナルト連弾)

("Uzumaki Naruto Combo"). Naruto does not possess the Sharingan, but he can still watch and learn, and that is what he did in this case. The lack of Sharingan to push him to his limits is compensated for by usage of the Shadow Replication Technique, creating multiple shadow clones of the user participating in the combo.

Ninjutsu (忍術)

Ninjutsu is hard to define; it is basically any technique that does not fall under either Taijutsu or Genjutsu, which means that it uses sources outside those naturally available to the body or the mind to accomplish its task. Ninjutsu relies on chakra and hand seals (Sequential positions the hands are put into in order to channel chakra effectively).

Mangekyō Sharingan (万華鏡車輪眼)

("Kaleidescope Copy Wheel Eye") Very few of those who possess the Sharingan attain this version of it. Hypnosis is what it appears to be, and in the cases seen in the manga, it can impose untold amounts of pain on the victim (such as being stabbed by katanas for 3 days) in an instant. Another use would be to make the victim recount past events, or to transmit what the user saw. Apparently, only other Sharingan users can counter the effects of it, although it remains to be seen. Itachi is the only person known to possess this ability, and according to him, the only way to attain it is 'to kill your closest friend'.

Sharingan (Hypnosis, 車輪眼)

("Copy Wheel Eye - Hypnosis") Available only to those who possess the Sharingan, it hypnotises the opponent and lets the user suggest thoughts and actions to them. The user often follows a successful hypnosis with constant mimicry of the opponent's movements and speaking out their thoughts in perfect synch, which they are able to do since they are the ones suggesting those movements and thoughts in the first place; this greatly bewilders the opponent and makes it appear as if the user can see the future.

Fūja Hōin (封邪法印)

("Evil Sealing Method") This Seal negates the effect of Orochimaru's Curse Seal, making the effects of it significantly weaker; its main source of power is the person's self-control, however, so if the person it has been performed on loses control of their emotions, it becomes all but ineffectual.

Hyōi no Jutsu (憑依の術)

("Possession Technique") A Jutsu that causes an unborn child to be possessed by a ghost or spirit. The Mother will not survive the birth of her child - her flesh is used up as nourishment for the demon.

Jouro Senbon (如雨露千本)

Jo'uro Senbon ("Raining Needles") A barrage of needles fly at the enemy from sockets in an umbrella that has been flung into the air. They come at the enemy from all directions and are controlled by chakra to increase accuracy. These needles have been known to have the power to pierce 5 mm of steel.

Juin Jutsu (Hyūga, 呪印術 (日向))

("Curse Seal (Hyūga)") A secret Ninjutsu passed on from generation to generation within the Hyuga Clan. It is put on members of the Branch House at a very young age. This Curse Seal is the unavoidable death that the Main House imposes onto the Branch House. It easily destroys the brain nerves of the person who suffers from it, kills them and removes all traces of the Byakūgan.

Juin Jutsu (Orochimaru, 呪印術 (大蛇丸))

("Curse Seal (Orochimaru)"). Receiving the small mark which appears on the neck through a bite from Orochimaru makes the receiver instantly fall unconscious. Then, if they are strong enough to survive the 9/10 chance of immediate death, they regain concsiousness. Whenever the person inflicted releases chakra the Curse Seal becomes active and forcibly pulls out Chakra, making the person stronger. At this point the small mark on the neck grows to wrap around their whole body, and causes them to lose control of their actions. It's a forbidden Jutsu which, when active, eats at the person's body.

Jūjin Bunshin (獣人分身)

("Beast-Human Clone") In coordination with an animal, the user creates a perfect likeness of that creature, and vise-versa with the beast assuming the form of the person. This makes it impossible to tell the two apart until the jutsu is broken, usually by damaging one of the participants which then reverts to their original form.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (影分身の術)

("Shadow Replication Technique") Unlike the normal Replication Technique, this jutsu creates not just an illusion, but multiple real bodies of yourself. The strength of the clones is evenly distributed among the user and every clone, making it impossible to decipher which is the original. Since these are real clones, unlike regular Bunshin no Jutsu, they can cause damage to a target; however, they will disappear if hit. This technique is forbidden, but is still known by many advanced Ninjas.

Kagemane no Jutsu (影真似の術)

("Shadow Imitation Technique") The user's shadow is extended to the opponent's shadow, combining them. This puts the attacker in control of the target's movements- the target is forced to make any movement the user makes. It is an extremely versatile technique- given enough talent, the shadow can contract and change shape, and even get ahold of several targets at once. The shadow can also be connected with other inanimate objects so it can be extended. The Jutsu does have a time limit, however, which is roughly 5 minutes.

Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu (影首縛りの術)

("Shadow Neck Bind") An advancement of the KageMane no Jutsu (Shadow Imitation Technique). Once the target has been captured with the KageMane no Jutsu, the user makes a hand seal to further the attack. The user then uses their shadow to form a hand, which will creep along the target to their neck and proceed to strangle them. However, those with much chakra are able to push back the shadow hand and resist the effects.

Kamaitachi no Jutsu (カマイタチの術)

("Slashing Wind Technique") A Jutsu that, using a giant fan, causes huge gusts of wind capable of cutting the target apart.

Kanashibari no Jutsu (金縛りの術)

("Body Freeze Technique") Used to cause one's opponent to lose the advantage of movement. Freezing them in their tracks, this Jutsu creates an opening for a more dangerous attack. Most Anbu Ninjas seem to know this technique.

Fire Style Blaze of Glory

Fire Style Blaze of Glory (Katon Gōkakyū no Jutsu (火遁 豪火球の術) literally "Fire Type - Great Fireball Skill") - Utilising a high amount of chakra, the user breathes a huge and intense ball of flame. A devastating attack.

Katon Hōsenka (火遁 鳳仙花)

("Fire Type - Mythical Fire Flower") Sends multiple balls of flame at the target. It is also possible to hide shurikens within the fireballs, creating an unexpected secondary attack.

Art of Fire-Dragon-Flame Technique

Art of Fire-Dragon-Flame Technique (Katon Karyū Endan, 火遁 火龍炎弾, literally "Fire Type - Fire Dragon Flame Dragon") shoots an enormous ball of flame shaped like a dragon from the user's mouth.

Katon Ryūka no Jutsu (火遁 龍火の術)

("Fire Type - Dragon Fire Skill") The person using this jutsu sends a stream of fire at the opponent from their mouth.

Art of Substitution

Art of Substitution (Kawari-mi no Jutsu, 変わり身の術, literally "Body Substitute Technique") - The user quickly replaces themselves with another object, such as a plant or an animal. This usually confuses the attacker and leaves them open to a counter-attack. A fairly common Jutsu, it is one of the basic Jutsu a Ninja must learn before graduating to the Genin level. It is not limited strictly to the Naruto series, and is sometimes called Utsusemi no Jutsu (空蝉の術).

Kaze no Yaiba (風の刃)

("Blade of Wind") This Jutsu creates a blade out of wind which, being wind, makes it impossible to block. However, unlike the Slashing Winds skill, this Jutsu requires no tool.

Kikaichū no Jutsu (奇壊蟲の術)

("Bug Host Technique") The Aburame Clan is famed for their use of bugs in their Jutsu. When a child is born, their body is offered to insects, called Destruction Bugs, as a nest. The bugs feed and live off the Chakra which the body stores and in return the Ninja gets to control and command the bugs, using them as their primary fighting technique.

Kirigakure no Jutsu (霧隠れの術)

("Hidden Mist Technique") A simple yet very effective technique. Covers the area of your opponents with a thick sheet of mist, crippling their senses and creating an opening for a more powerful attack.

Kuchiyose Edo Tensei (口寄せ　穢土転生)

("Summoning - Impure World Resurrection") This technique allows the user to revive a dead person. The user must first sacrifice a living human soul in order to tie the dead person's soul to the world (unlike the normal summoning technique, which only uses some of the user's blood). Then, the dead person's body is formed out of dust and dirt and rises out of the ground in front of the user inside a wooden coffin. This technique can also be used on multiple people at once.

Kuchiyose no Jutsu (口寄せの術)

("Summoning Technique") This Jutsu, using a contract, Seal, and the user's blood, binds an animal to the user. The type of animal is determined by the contract and Seal performed. The blood is used as a signature to make the contract, which can be written on a scroll or tattoo, valid. Once binded, the animal can be summoned to perform a task or help the user in battle.

Kugutsu no Jutsu (傀儡の術)

("Marionette Technique") The user controls a doll using their chakra. Just like a marionette, Chakra extends from the user's fingers to move the puppet which can be small, life size or even bigger. This skill is often used in co-ordination with the Art of Substitution (Kawarimi no Jutsu), so the user can quickly replace their body with the puppet. Another useful quality of this skill is the fact that the puppet can take the form of another person, object, or, more commonly, the form of the user.

Makyō HyōShō Hijutsu (魔鏡氷晶秘術)

("Demonic Ice Mirrors Secret Technique") Using the powers bestowed by the advanced bloodline of Transportation by Ice, the user creates a prison of Ice Mirrors from water and surrounds their enemy with them. This Jutsu allows the mirror's reflection to transport the user at extremely high speeds. Almost unsee-able to the opponent inside, the user can attack without danger of being harmed. The high speed of the user makes it almost impossible to dodge any oncoming attacks.

Mikazuki no Mai (三日月の舞)

("Dance of the Crescent Moon") creates a clone of the user similar to a shadow clone, which along with the user attacks in a complicated sword-dancing pattern which confuses the opponent.

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (水分身の術)

("Water Replication Technique") Creates one or multiple identical copies of the user out of water. More similar to Shadow Clone than to a Normal Clone, Water Clones are capable of attacking, except each Clone's strength is only one tenth of the power of the original. Also, the clone can only be controlled within a certain radius of the user.

Rasengan

A Ninjutsu technique incorporating the chakra control needed for both the tree climbing training and water walking training. With the type of chakra control needed for the tree climbing training, the ninja focuses a set amount of chakra into the palm of their hand.

It is a very high-level technique that took the 4th Hokage three years to perfect. It is capable of lethality and is an attack that that unlike chidori, is not a cutting technique nor is it as inefficient in utilizing chakra. It is literally a hurricane of chakra and it differs and is very effective in its chakra utilization but as a drawback, takes perfect chakra control. It is a self-sustaining technique so once the chakra is molded, one doesn't need any more chakra. It requires no hand seals and can be used with either hand or both.

The only users of the rasengan to date are Yondaime, Jiraiya, and Naruto.

Lightning Blade

Lightning Blade (Raikiri, 雷切, literally "Lightning Edge") is a very powerful technique, it was created especially for assassination missions. The lightning blade is in fact only the nickname of the true technique, The Thousand Birds.

Sabaku Kyū (砂縛柩)

("Desert Coffin") This Jutsu uses sand to grab the opponent and cover their entire body. This skill is primarily for rendering an opponent immobile, but can kill the opponent by suffocation or by being followed with the Desert Funeral technique.

Sabaku Sōsō (砂瀑葬送)

("Desert Funeral") Through the will of the user, the sand already wrapping a target will implode and crush whatever is within. When used to kill a person, the death is so quick there isn't even time to feel pain.

Shikon no Jutsu (死魂の術)

("Dead Soul Skill") With this Jutsu the user can make the dead seem lifelike, allowing dead bodies to move around as a diversion or decoy. This skill causes the dead bodies' hearts to beat, allowing the user to control them for a few minutes.

Art of the Valentine

Art of the Valentine (Shintenshin no Jutsu (心転身の術), literally "Mind-Body Switch Technique") allows the user to enter a target's mind, taking control of their body and senses. Normally a spying Jutsu, it can also be used in battle although with many drawbacks. The spiritual energy travels very slowly making it easy to dodge; If this happens, the user's body will be left as an empty vessel for a few minutes, leaving it wide open to attack- and even if the Jutsu does work, any damage that is caused to the target will also be inflicted upon the user's original body. This Jutsu can only be maintained for about five minutes before the user is forced to retract their spiritual energy back to their original body.

Shinranshin no Jutsu (心乱身の術)

("Mind-Body Disturbance Technique") A more advanced form of the Shintenshin no Jutsu (Mind-Body Switch Technique), this skill can be used into confusing enemies into attacking their own allies, wreaking havoc among enemy lines. By forming a hand seal, the user is able to send a spirit of confusion into their target. Although the target is mentally aware of what they are doing, they are unable to stop their bodies from attacking their allies. It appears that the user is able to stay in their own body with this skill, unlike its predecessor.

Shishō Fūin (四象封印)

(Four Season Seal) The seal that was used to trap the Nine-tails demon fox inside Naruto.

Sensatsu Suishō Hijutsu (秘術 千殺水翔)

(Flying Water Needles secret technique) An application of the Transportation by Ice advanced bloodlines that doesn't take advantage of the transportation capabilities of the ice created, but is lethal nonetheless. This jutsu freezes water into the shape of sharp needles, which then home in on the opponent, crushing them in a sphere of points and ripping their body to shreds. To perform this Jutsu, the user must be near a body of water.

Sōja Sōsai no Jutsu (双蛇相殺の術)

("Double Snake Assassination Skill") A forbidden jutsu which is a murder-suicide attack- killing both the user and the target.

Suirō no Jutsu (水牢の術)

("Water Prison Technique") A move used to trap the victim inside a virtually inescapable prison of water. The only downside to this technique is that the user must keep one arm inside the bubble at all times in order for the victim to remain imprisoned. This Jutsu cannot be performed without a sufficiently large body of water to supply the water for it.

Suiton Daibakufu no Jutsu (水遁 大瀑布の術)

("Water Type - Explosion Skill") A Jutsu which creates a huge cyclone turned on its side, which is sent towards the target. This Jutsu can only be done when in or near a body of water, and is devastatingly powerful. It can easily rip tree roots from the Earth and suck large debres into itself. Weapons can also be hidden inside the cyclone for a secondary attack.

Suiton Suiryūdan no Jutsu (水遁 水龍弾の術)

("Water Type - Water Dragon Blast Skill") A powerful attack that creates a huge current of water in the shape of a dragon, which is sent towards the opponent. Except when used by extremely powerful ninjas, this Jutsu can only be done when in or near a body of water.

Suna no Tate (砂の盾)

("Sand Shield") Regardless of their own will, this jutsu automatically surrounds and protects the body and surrounding area of the person it was performed on. Capable of withstanding considerably strong attacks and projectiles, this Sand Shield is stronger than steel. Though one (and perhaps the only) way it can be defeated is with extremely high speed attacks, all other attacks are rendered useless.

Suna no Yoroi (砂の鎧)

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

Zankūha (斬空波)

("Air Slicing Blast") A Jutsu which allows the user to freely control supersonic sound waves and air pressure with a device implanted into one or both of their arms. The blasts are powerful enough to destroy rock.

Zankūkyokuha (斬空極波)

("Ultimate Air Slicing Blast") A Jutsu which allows the user to freely control supersonic sound waves and air pressure with a device implanted into one or both of their arms. The blasts are powerful enough to destroy rock. This version uses a lot more chakra than the regular Air Slicing Blast and is more powerful.
