Ninjutsu - General Techniques

Fukumi Hari (Hidden Needles)
Rank: D
Description: With training, one is able to form needles from their chakra in their saliva. Essentially, one can spit out needles at an opponent with precision.

Kugutsu no Jutsu (Puppetry)
Rank: D
Description: Allows a ninja to use a puppet to attack from afar. Using their body's chakra, the ninja emits strings of chakra that run from their fingers to the puppet. The puppet itself can be loaded with many weapons and tools, allowing the puppet master to remain hidden while the puppet moves and attacks the target.

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: D
Description: A high-speed movement technique used by ninjas to move over short distances with accelerated speed to surprise opponents. This movement may be disguised with leaves or items from the native village's elements, making it appear as though the user is teleporting, but the jutsu itself is not a Space-Time Ninjutsu.

Karasu Bunshin no Jutsu (Crow Clone Jutsu)
Rank: C
Description: Ninjutsu created by a rogue ninja, which eventually spread through the shinobi villages. This technique allows the user to create a clone composed of crows. The clone can disperse into multiple crows, which still maintain the user's consciousness. This allows him / her to speak and react while in crow form.

Kushiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Jutsu)
Rank: C
Description: A powerful jutsu, Kuchiyose allows a ninja to summon animals and objects to fight on their behalf. The ninja normally signs a blood contract with the animal species, which allows them to summon different size and skill levels of creature. Please see the Summonings page for a full listing of summons and more detailed information.
Special: Must have this technique before signing a contract or creating a summon.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu)
Rank: B
Requires: C-Rank or higher character
Description: Kage Bunshin is a Jounin level Ninjutsu. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance; however, the Kage Bunshin creates a real copy with form and substance. The clone itself can also utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained is passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones. It takes extreme amounts of chakra to use and maintain this jutsu, and also distributes your chakra and power evenly between all of your clones and yourself. When struck by an attack or with a technique, or if the user runs out of chakra or decides to release the technique, the Shadow Clone disperses. You may create a maximum of five clones with this technique, but the more clones you create, the weaker you and they will be. If you create one clone, you are essentially halving your character's strength. Two clones, dividing it into thirds, and so on.
Special: If Shadow Clones are used in training, 2 less posts are required to learn the jutsu, with a minimum of 1 post required to learn the jutsu.

Kuchiyose: Rashoumon (Rashoumon Gate Summons)
Rank: B
Description: One performs several handseals and places their hands to the ground. In front of them, a gigantic wall of epic proportions lifts itself up out of the ground. On the face on the wall is a giant beast-like face. This wall is highly impregnable, but intensely powerful techniques can destroy it.
Special: The wall can only be broken by B-rank or higher techniques. One can summon upto three walls (each wall counts as a B rank jutsu). One wall tanks a B rank, two tanks an A-Rank, and three can take an S-rank.

Wild Lion's Mane Technique
Rank: B
Description: This is a technique where the user uses chakra to temporarily enhance the head's metabolism and manipulate the hair that grows longer as a result of it. The user encases themselves in a countless number of the sharp needles. Chakra grants the strands of hair the hardness and shape of needles, endowed with a capacity to injure on par with that of metallic weapons. In addition, if activated in response to an opponent's attack, it can also be used as a counter. The hair is made hard enough that it can withstand blows from certain types of weapons such as arrows.

Bunshin Bakuha (Shadow Clone Explosion)
Rank: A
Requirements: Must know Kage Bunshin no Jutsu - does not take up a jutsu slot
Description: An alternate technique than Shadow Clone jutsu. At first glance, the clone appears to be a normal Kage Bunshin, but the user can detonate the clone at any time to form a very large explosion. This takes extra chakra to perform, besides already splitting chakra to make the clone.

Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique
Rank: A
Requires: Shadow Clone Jutsu
Description:The user creates shadow clones which transform into shurikens, striking down the enemy. This is a technique that combines ninja tools with ninjutsu. Compared to normal shadow clones, clones of material objects are said to be on a far higher level. There is no need for preparations beforehand, like stocking up on shuriken, yet since the shadow clones are real and not illusions, all the shadow blades that fly around are equally lethal. Because the clones form in just an instant, completely evading them is next to impossible. The Jutsu however does not send all the weapons in the same area as the foe and mearly uses most of them to pravent the foe from dodgeing the weapons which are aimed at them.

Needle Hell
Rank: A
Requires: Wild Lion's Mane Technique
Description: After using Wild Lion's Mane Technique, extending his hair around his body, the user shoots multiple hardened needle-like hair towards the enemy.

Rasengan (Spiral Sphere)
Rank: A
Description: Rasengan was a ninjutsu technique developed over the span of three years by the Fourth Hokage. The technique was taught to a select few very skilled shinobi. The technique is unlike other jutsu, in that it does not require any handseals, it just relied on the ninja's ability to mold chakra. The ninja concentrates a contained, fast, rotating sphere of chakra in the palm of their hand which can cause a great destructive impact. This technique normally takes a great span of time to learn.

Tajuu Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu)
Rank: A
Requirements: Must know Kage Bunshin no Jutsu - does not take up a jutsu slot
Description: Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu is an advanced variation of the Kage Bunshin Ninjutsu which was banned by the First Hokage. This has not stopped many Jounin-level ninja from learning the technique however. Instead of creating several clones, several dozen clones are made. Like normal Kage Bunshin a ninja's chakra is split evenly among the clones when created. A maximum of twenty clones may be created with this technique.

Oodama Rasengan (Giant Spiral Sphere)
Rank: S
Requires: Rasengan
Description: Rasengan was a ninjutsu technique developed over the span of three years by the Fourth Hokage. This technique is a massively expanded size of the regular Rasengan. It uses a great deal of chakra, and as such, is normally a finishing move. The technique is unlike most jutsu, in that it does not require any handseals, it just relied on the ninja's ability to mold chakra. The ninja concentrates a contained, fast, rotating sphere of chakra in the palm of their hand which can cause a great destructive impact. This technique normally takes a great span of time to learn, and takes great chakra reserves to even try to attempt this.
