Adamantine Prison Wall
Name: Kongō Rōheki, literally "Adamantine
Prison Wall"
Type: No rank, Defensive, Supplementary, Short
range (0-5m)
Users: Enma
While in the form of the staff, Enma
duplicates himself into a large quantity of staffs and forms a cage
with them to protect the Third Hokage (or possibly imprison an
opponent).
Amaterasu
Name: Amaterasu,
literally "Shining
Heaven"
Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range
(0-5m)
Users: Itachi Uchiha
Named after the Shinto sun goddess
Amaterasu, this legendary jutsu is unique to the Uchiha clan. The
jet-black flames are said to be as hot as the sun, and will burn for
seven days and seven nights. Since the Mangekyo Sharingan is
necessary to activate this jutsu, not many have learned it;
therefore, the specific details of this jutsu are yet unrevealed. Not
surprisingly, it appears to use a large amount of chakra, as Itachi
had to rest after using both it and Tsukuyomi in succession.
Armor of Sand
Name: Suna no Yoroi, literally "Armor of
Sand"
Type: No rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users:
Gaara
This jutsu uses chakra to cover the user with a thin, but
very 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.
Armor of Sticky Gold
Name: Nenkin no Yoroi, literally "Armor
of Sticky Gold"
Type: Hiden, No rank, Defensive, Short range
(0-5m)
Users: Kidomaru
A defensive jutsu, it involves Kidomaru
weaving his unique Sticky Gold (粘金,
Nenkin) into layers covering his entire body. He is also able to emit
this from his sweat glands. Kidomaru's Sticky Gold is a strong metal
that instantly solidifies into a protective armor that blocks chakra
once air touches it. This can even form a barrier against an opponent
who attacks using the Gentle Fist style.
B
----------------------------------
Barrier Encampment Method
Name: Kekkai Hōjin, literally "Barrier
Encampment Method"
Type: B-rank, Offensive
Users: Sound
Four, Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru
An array of four explosive tags are
jointly placed around the boundary of an area. If anyone or anything
happens to walk through the boundary, the seals will instantly
activate and explode, killing the imprisoned target.
Beast Human Clone
Name: Jūjin Bunshin, literally "Beast
Human Clone", English TV "Man Beast Clone"
Type:
C-rank, Supplementary
Users: Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru
A modified
version of a transformation technique, this allows a user to
transform their animal companion into a perfect copy of themselves.
Both the user and the animal assume a more bestial (almost
lycanthropic) appearance, making it impossible to tell the two apart
until the jutsu is broken, usually by attacking the animal and
dispelling the transformation. This jutsu is often followed by the
Double Piercing Fang.
Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot
Name: Kurohigi Kiki
Ippatsu, literally "Black Secret Technique Machine One
Shot"
Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short range
Users:
Kankuro
First the opponent must be trapped in the torso of
Kuroari. After this is accomplished, Karasu separates into about
eight components, each with a sharp blade. Kankuro guides the
separate pieces into slits in Kuroari's torso, impaling the victim
inside. The name of this secret technique is a play on a popular
Japanese toy "Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu", in which the goal of
the toy is to stick little plastic swords into a barrel to make the
pirate in the center jump out. In the second Naruto movie, Kuroari
can do this technique alone using Black Secret Technique Machine Two
Shot.
Blade of Wind
Name: Kaze no Yaiba, literally "Blade of
Wind"
Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Baki
This jutsu creates a blade of wind. The blade is
impossible to block because of its intangible nature. Unlike the
Cutting Whirlwind Technique, this jutsu requires no tool.
Body Flicker Technique
Name: Shunshin no Jutsu, literally "Body
Flicker Technique"
Type: D-rank, Supplementary
Users:
Most, if not all ninja above Genin level
this jutsu is a
high-speed movement technique. It is described as, "appearing
with the wind and disappearing like the wind." A very basic
jutsu, it appears that most shinobi above Genin-rank know it.
Using
chakra to activate the body, the user is able to move from one point
to another faster than the naked eye can track. To a normal person,
it would seem as if the user has teleported. The amount of chakra
used depends on the distance and elevation between the user and the
destination.
Among the many users and villages, various variations
of Shunshin no Jutsu exist. Gaara, for instance, uses the "Sand
Body Flicker" ("Suna-Shunshin"), which uses sand to
cover the user's movement. Other varieties include "Mist Body
Flicker" ("Kiri-Shunshin"), "Water Body Flicker"
("Mizu-Shunshin"), and "Leaf Body Flicker"
("Konoha-Shunshin").
Shisui Uchiha, one of the most
talented Uchiha, was feared as "Shisui of the Body Flicker"
("Shunshin no Shisui"), likely referring to this technique.
Body Replacement Technique
Name: Kawarimi no Jutsu, literally
"Body Replacement Technique",
"Change of Body
Technique",
"Change of Stance Technique", or
"Replacement Technique", English TV "Replacement
Jutsu" or "Substitution Jutsu"
Type: E-rank,
Supplementary
Users: All Ninja Academy graduates
This jutsu
lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such
as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another
person within reach, leaving the opponent open to a counter-attack.
Explosive tags can be attached to the replacement for an added
surprise, which Sasuke has done on one occasion. Fundamentally, all
ninja know this technique.
The anime has a number of other objects
being used for this jutsu, such as a straw man, a boulder, mud, and
even a scarecrow. The first and last items are never anywhere in
sight, suggesting that they are merely gags meant to lighten the
situation, and not an actual part of the jutsu. Additionally, the
normal practice of switching places with a section of log is done in
several places that have no such thing anywhere nearby.
This
technique is sometimes referred to as the Art of Body Projection
("Utsusemi no Jutsu") in other manga and anime series.
Bug Clone Technique
Name: Mushi Bunshin no Jutsu, literally
"Bug
Clone Technique" or
"Bug Replication Technique"
Type:
Hidden, No rank, Supplementary
Users: Shino Aburame
The user
uses the Kikaichu bugs living in their body to create a copy of the
user or anyone else they choose. The clone falls apart into its
component bugs when struck.
C
----------------------------------
Chakra Absorption Technique
Name: Chakra Kyūin Jutsu, literally
"Chakra Absorption Technique"
Type: Unknown, probably:
Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
Users:
Yoroi Akado, Jirobo
The user is able to absorb the physical and
spiritual chakra energy of the opponent into himself. This technique
can be used for both offensive and defensive purposes. The user
doesn't have to actually touch the opponent, since it is also
possible to use it through other media, as Jirobo did with his Earth
Release Barrier: Dungeon Chamber of Nothingness.
The Chakra
Absorption Technique is not truly considered a jutsu since it has
never been given an entry in any of the data books, but more of a
special ability; however, it is not considered kekkei genkai ability,
either.
Cloak of Invisibility Technique
Name: Kakuremino no Jutsu,
literally "Cloak of Invisibility Technique"
Type:
E-rank, Supplementary
Users: All Ninja Academy graduates
this
jutsu allows a ninja to take a cloak or a piece of cloth and blend
into an object, making them invisible. Konohamaru uses this technique
constantly in the beginning of the Naruto series to try and fool
Naruto Uzumaki, but uses poor disguises (square rocks, incorrectly
patterned cloaks), thus betraying the illusion. In the anime, Naruto
has been somewhat practical at using this jutsu a couple of times in
the series.
Clone Great Explosion
Name: Bunshin Daibakuha,literally "Clone
Great Explosion"
Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range
(0-5m)
Users: Itachi Uchiha
This jutsu works in combination
with the Shadow Clone Technique, and creates a shadow clone that will
explode on command, potentially killing or injuring those caught in
the blast.
Clone Technique
Name: Bunshin no Jutsu, literally
"Clone
Technique", English TV "Clone Jutsu", UK DVD "Art
of Body Splitting"
Type: E-rank, Supplementary
Users: All
Ninja Academy graduates
This technique creates a clone of the
user, but it is an illusion, not a real copy like the Shadow Clone
Technique. The illusions will dissipate when they come into contact
with anything. The illusions can be seen through by the Byakugan and
the Sharingan. To these kekkei genkai, the clones look like balls of
chakra. Also, a person with normal eyes can distinguish clones from
the original, since the clones will not disrupt the area around
themselves (won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.) with their
movement.
Combination Transformation
Name: Konbi Henge, literally
"Combination Transformation"
Type: B-rank,
Supplementary
Users: Naruto Uzumaki, Gamabunta, Sound Four, Kiba
Inuzuka, Akamaru
An advanced form of the Transformation Technique,
the Combination Transformation transforms two people into one being.
One usually provides the chakra while the other performs the
necessary technique. Naruto used this with Gamabunta in the fight
against Gaara in his full Shukaku form. Kiba and Akamaru also use
this technique in their fight against Sakon and Ukon, transforming
themselves into a giant two-headed wolf. The Sound Four used this
during the Chunin Exam to disguise themselves as the Kazekage's two
bodyguard attendants (two in each).
Creation Rebirth
Name: Sōzō Saisei, literally "Creation
Rebirth" or "Creation Regeneration" (a.k.a. "Genesis
Rebirth")
Type: S-rank, Supplementary
Users: Tsunade
by
releasing chakra that has been stored up in the seal on her forehead
with Shadow Seal: Release, Tsunade is able to heal all her wounds
almost instantaneously, regardless of the severity of the injuries.
Additionally, she continues to heal at an accelerated rate for the
duration of the jutsu. Unfortunately, this technique has a major
drawback; using it speeds up cell division, significantly shortening
her life span.
Cutting Whirlwind Technique
Name: Kamaitachi no Jutsu, literally
"Cutting Whirlwind Technique", English TV "Wind Scythe
Jutsu"
Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range
(0-10m)
Users: Temari
A jutsu that, using a giant fan, creates
huge gusts of wind mixed with chakra capable of cutting the target
apart. This whirlwind is powerful enough to repel and destroy thrown
weapons and can even reflect sound waves right back at their original
source.

Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range

of himself, which attack along with him in a complicated
sword-dancing pattern to confuse the opponent. The swords are also
able to extend to any length.
Dance of the Seedling Fern
Name: Sawarabi no Mai, literally "Dance
of the Seedling Fern"
Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank,
Offensive, All ranges
Users: Kimimaro Kaguya
Kimimaro's final
dance: a giant forest of bone spikes bursts from the ground. It is an
extremely deadly technique; both Gaara and Rock Lee would have fallen
to this technique if it weren't for Gaara's ability to use sand to
levitate.
Dead Soul Technique
Name: Shikon no Jutsu, literally "Dead
Soul Technique", English TV "Dead Soul Jutsu"
Type:
B-rank, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Kabuto
Yakushi
Using this jutsu, a person can temporarily reanimate a
corpse, creating the illusion of a living person. This is achieved by
causing the heart to beat once more, allowing the user to control the
corpse. The reanimated corpse can serve as either a short-time ally
or an effective decoy. The latter requires that the user change the
appearance of the dead body to resemble the person to be portrayed.
Kabuto was also able to remove the smell of decay from the corpse,
though in all fairness they were recently killed.
Death Foreseeing Technique
Name: Shikumi no Jutsu, literally
"Death Foreseeing Technique" or "Death Viewing
Technique" (Killing Intention), English TV "Murderous
Intent"
Type: Unknown, probably: Mid to Long Range
(0-10m+)
Users: Orochimaru
This jutsu is much like the
Temporary Paralysis Technique, but paralyses the foe by showing them
a vision of their own gruesome death. In addition to the paralysis,
the enemy is overwhelmed with fear, and will no doubt suffer severe
mental stress. The opponent is unlikely to be in a decent fighting
condition for quite some time afterwards.
Decapitating Air Wave
Name: Zankūha, literally "Decapitating
Air Wave", English TV "Slicing Sound Wave"
Type:
D-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)

Users: Tayuya
this is the melody that Tayuya
plays to control her Doki. By playing specific notes, her Doki will
move in specific ways.
Demonic Ice Mirrors
Name: Makyō Hyō Shō, literally
"Demonic
Mirror Ice Crystals", Viz "Demonic Ice Mirrors",
English TV
"Secret Jutsu: Crystal Ice Mirrors"
Type:
Kekkei Genkai, Offensive, Close to mid-range (0-10m)
Users:
Haku
Unique to Haku, this jutsu encircles an opponent with over a
dozen mirrors fashioned out of ice. Haku can then enter one of the
mirrors from the outside and travel between any of the mirrors at an
incredible speed; in fact, the time in transit is almost
instantaneous. During transit, Haku can throw senbon needles while
remaining virtually unassailable himself. If the mirror Haku is
currently in is shattered, he can leap out of one of the fragments
and continue his attack. Though they are made from ice, they are
pressured with enough chakra to resist fire almost completely. While
inside the mirrors, Haku is moving so fast that the outside world
appears to move in slow motion.
Desert Coffin
Name: Sabaku Kyū, literally
"Desert
Coffin",
Viz "The Coffin of Crushing Sand",
English TV
"Sand Coffin"
Type: No rank, Offensive,
Mid- to long range (5+m)
Users: Gaara
This jutsu uses sand to
grab the opponent and cover their entire body. This skill is
primarily utilized for rendering an opponent immobile, but can kill
the opponent by suffocation or by being followed with the Desert
Funeral, which crushes them.
It should be noted that Gaara crushed
Rock Lee's left arm and leg with just Desert Coffin during their
battle in the Chunin Exams, perhaps implying that Desert Coffin
itself has its own crushing effect. Alternatively, he may simply have
forgotten to announce the follow-up attack.
Desert Funeral
Name: Sabaku Sōsō, literally
"Desert
Funeral"
(a.k.a. "Desert Graveyard"), Viz
"Imploding Sand Funeral", English TV "Sand
Burial"
Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range
(0-10m)
Users: Gaara
After wrapping an opponent with sand,
Gaara will cause the sand to implode and crush whatever is within.
When used to kill a person, the death is so quick that there isn't
even time to feel pain. The pressure also produces a sizable fountain
of blood. Gaara can control the pressure used in the attack, which
allows him to merely break bones in place of killing his opponent.
Desert Imperial Funeral
Name: Sabaku Taisō, literally
"Desert
Imperial Funeral"
Type: No rank, Offensive, All ranges
Users:
Gaara
Following the Quicksand in the Style of a Waterfall, Gaara
slams both hands palm down into the sand and emits powerful
shockwaves that compact and greatly damage anything within the
sand-covered area. Considering that the previous jutsu levels an
entire forest, this is a considerably large area.
Desert Prison
Name: Sabaku Rō, literally "Desert
Prison"
Type: Unknown, No rank, Supplementary, All
ranges
Users: Gaara
This jutsu uses sand to imprison the
victim.
Desert Suspension
Name: Sabaku Fuyū, literally "Desert

"Destruction Bug Host Technique"
Type: No rank, Hiden,
Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary, All ranges
Users: Shibi
Aburame, Shino Aburame
The Aburame Clan is famed for their use of
insects 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 that the body stores and in return the ninja gets
to control and command the bugs, using them as their primary fighting
technique. These bugs have the ability to drain chakra through
physical contact with the enemy.
E
----------------------------------
Earth Release Barrier: Dungeon
Chamber of Nothingness
Name: Doton Kekkai: Dorōodōmu,
literally
"Earth Release Barrier: Dungeon Chamber of Nothingness"
Type:
B-rank, Offensive, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users:
Jirobo
This jutsu traps the victims inside a self-repairing dome
of earth. Jirobo is able to absorb the chakra of anyone trapped
inside, something he enjoys greatly. Jirobo's chakra is distributed
throughout the dome, but not equally. Near the back (relative to
him), his chakra is much weaker, making the dome weaker in that spot.
Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart
Name: Doton: Doryū Jōheki,
literally "Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart"
Type:
Unknown, probably Supplementary
Users: Yamato
This jutsu raises

as an example.
Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling

earth that rises into place as defense. The defense is not perfect
though, since a hard or drilling impact can puncture the wall.
Earth Release: Earth Style Wall
Name: Doton: Doryūheki, literally
"Earth Release: Earth Style Wall"
Type: B-rank,
Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Third Hokage

Technique"; English TV "Earth Style: Headhunter
Jutsu"
Type: D-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Kakashi Hatake, Third Hokage, Kabuto Yakushi
The user,
emerging from the ground below the target area, pulls down (or
possibly swaps places with) the opponent so that only their head is
above ground. Kabuto tried to use this technique on Tsunade, but was
unsuccessful in grabbing her, probably explaining its low difficulty
rank.
Earth Release: Rock Lodging Destruction
Name: Doton: Iwayado

Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld
Name: Doton: Yomi Numa,
literally "Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld"
Type:
A-rank, Offensive, All ranges
Users: Jiraiya
This technique
turns a large area of land into a sinking swampland, making it
impossible for anyone or anything in that area to move around. The
size of the swamp is proportionate to the amount of chakra used to
perform the technique. When performed by a drugged Jiraiya, this
technique only created a large, semi-deep swamp that merely inhibited
the movement of the snakes it was targeting. When performed properly,
it is supposed to engulf the target completely.
Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique
Name: Doton:
Dochū Eigyo no Jutsu, literally "Earth Release: Underground

Offensive, Mid-range (5-10m)
Users: Sasuke Uchiha, Anko
Mitarashi
The user breathes fire along a length of cord, guide
wire, or other long thin object. While the technique is shown in the
anime to be even larger and more devastating than Fire Release: Great
Fireball Technique, in the manga it is shown to be nothing more than
a small burst of flame running along a line of wire.
Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Missile

Users: Most Uchiha clan members,
Jiraiya, Yamashiro Aoba, Oki, most Konoha nin above Chunin
level
Utilizing a large amount of chakra, a large ball of flame is
exhaled from the user's mouth. When an Uchiha clan member masters
this technique, they are recognized as an adult. In the anime, this
seems to be a fairly common technique amongst Konoha ninja.

This jutsu sends multiple balls of
fire at a target. It is also possible to hide shurikens within the
fireballs, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. For the
most part, this jutsu is used as a distraction.
Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet
Name: Katon: Gamayu Endan,
literally
"Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet"
Type:
A-rank, Offensive, All ranges
Users: Jiraiya or Naruto Uzumaki
with Gamabunta
Gamabunta spits out a large amount of oil, which is
then ignited by the user. Jiraiya uses Fire Release: Great Fireball
Technique to ignite the oil while Naruto uses an exploding tag since
he doesn't know any fire techniques. The sheer amount of oil
Gamabunta is capable of spitting makes this the most powerful
fire-based jutsu in the series.
Flapping One Thousand Birds
Name: Habataku Chidori, literally
"Flapping One Thousand Birds"
Type: S-rank, Offensive,
Short Range (0-5)
Users: Sasuke Uchiha
Using the power gained
through the level 2 form of his Cursed Seal of Heaven, the Chidori
that Sasuke Uchiha was taught to use as a "blade" to
protect his comrades is warped into a dark version of itself that is
used to sever his ties with them. Instead of the usual chirping of
birds that the Chidori is known for, this technique lets out a
frightening "roar", much like that of a large number of
birds taking flight. Its power far surpasses that of the normal
Chidori.
Flying Thunder God Technique
Name: Hiraishin no Jutsu, literally
"Flying Thunder God Technique"
Type: S-rank,
Supplementary, All ranges
Users: Fourth Hokage
This jutsu was
created by the Fourth Hokage and the reason behind his nickname "The
Yellow Flash of Konoha" ("Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō").
It allows the user to move over large distances with ultra-high
speed. Although it is often compared with the Body Flicker Technique,
the speed of this jutsu is much greater. In principal, it is similar
to the Summoning Technique, but instead sends the user somewhere
rather than bringing something to them.
To activate this jutsu,
the user needs a special seal or "jutsu formula"
("Jutsu-shiki") to mark the destination. After this is
done, the user can almost instantaneously transport him to that
location. The Fourth applied the formula in advance to weapons such
as kunai. It is also possible to leave a formula in an area touched
by the user.
This is one of the few known non-Kekkei-Genkai
techniques created that the Sharingan and Byakugan cannot follow. It
is because of this technique that Konoha came out victorious in the
Iwa-Konoha Ninja War.
The Japanese name Hiraishin is also the
phonic of the Japanese word, which means lightning rod; this may
explain why the Fourth needed a seal or formula for this to work.

this jutsu
creates a box-like barrier around an area defined by the four users
of it. Anything that touches with barrier will burst into purple
flame. As long as the users of the jutsu remain active and unharmed,
this barrier can never be broken. In addition to the outside barrier,
the Sound Four were also able to create an additional barrier around
them, thus ensuring that the barrier would never be broken.

Technique and the Sexy Technique. Naruto uses it to create any number
of clones of a beautiful, nude woman. According to Naruto, this
technique has never been defeated. Naruto uses a modified form of
this technique in episode 193, where he transforms into dozens of
clones of Sakura (still clothed) in order to confuse Rock Lee. It
works, but Lee does not get a nosebleed, instead breaking out into
one of his tear-filled moments of joy.
Haze Clone Technique
Name: Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu, literally
"Haze
Clone Technique" or
"Haze Replication Technique",
English TV
"Ninja Art: Fog Clone Jutsu"
Type: D-rank,
Supplementary
Users: Kagari, Oboro, Mubi
Similar to the Clone
Technique, Kagari, Oboro, and Mubi use this jutsu to create hundreds
of illusionary clones. Instead of disappearing after being struck,
these clones reform, making any attacks futile.
Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique
Name: Chikatsu Saisei
no Jutsu, literally "Healing Resuscitation Regeneration
Technique"
Type: A-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Medic Team, Shizune
This jutsu uses a part of the
patient's body as a medium to heal their wounds. It requires an
almost room-wide seal, and a lot of time. The medic-nin on hand
actually have to trade places after tiring, indicating just how long
it takes. Unfortunately, this treatment's success rate isn't very
high. This was used on Neji Hyuga during the Sasuke Retrieval arc and
on Anko Mitarashi during a flashback in a filler arc.
Hidden Mouth Needles
Name: Fukumikuchi Hari, literally, "Hidden
Mouth Needles"
Type: Unknown, possibly: C-rank, Offensive,
Short range (0m-5)
Users: Shizune
The user is able to spit out
needles hidden in their mouth at their opponent.
Hidden Shadow Many Snakes Hand
Name: Sen'eitajashu, literally
"Hidden Shadow Many Snakes Hand"
Type: Unknown,
probably: Offensive, All ranges
Users: Orochimaru
This jutsu is
similar to the Hidden Shadow Snake Hand, but with far more snakes. In
addition, these snakes can stretch too much greater lengths
Hidden Shadow Snake Hand
Name: Sen'eijashu,literally
"Hidden
Shadow Snake Hand", Viz "Striking Snake Technique",
English TV
"Striking Shadow Snake"
Type: C-rank,
Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Orochimaru, Anko
Mitarashi
This jutsu allows the user to project several snakes
from their wrist as they make a punching motion towards their
intended target. The snakes bite and wrap around the given target,
potentially inflicting multiple wounds. They are even capable of
poisoning the victim.
Hiding Camouflage Technique
Name: Meisaigakure no Jutsu, literally
"Hiding Camouflage Technique"
Type: A-rank,
Supplementary
Users: Taiseki, Kabuto Yakushi, Kamizuru clan
this
jutsu renders the user invisible to the naked eye, and can even hide
their scent. Abilities such as the Sharingan and the Byakugan can see
through it, however. Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka have also
demonstrated the ability to see through this technique in the anime,
using their bugs and enhanced sense of smell, respectively. In the
anime, Kabuto has been seen using this technique, or perhaps one very
similar, in the Forest of Death.
Hiding Mist Technique
Name: Kiri Gakure no Jutsu, literally
"Hiding Mist Technique", Viz "Kirigakure Jutsu"
(translated as "Art of Hiding in the Mist" in a side note),
English TV "Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu" or "Hidden
Mist Technique"
Type: D-rank, Supplementary
Users: Most
Mist and Rain-nin
This jutsu envelops the surrounding area in a
dense mist, causing anyone within it to lose the advantage of
visibility. The density can be controlled by the user, allowing them
to create a mist so thick that they themselves cannot see through it.
Hokage-Style Sixty-year-old Technique: Enclosed Hermitage Return to
Society
Name: Hokage Shiki Jijun Jutsu: Kakuan Nitten Suishu,
literally "Hokage-Style Sixty-year-old Technique: Enclosed
Hermitage Return to Society"
Type: S-rank, Supplementary,
Short Distance (0-5m)
Users: Yamato
When performed, this jutsu
causes a seal ("seat") to appear on the user's hand. After
touching their palm to someone "possessed" by a biju, a
stream of chakra connects them, and an open structure of sort's
forms around the target. This technique forcibly reverses a biju
transformation.
Human Puppet
Name: Hitokugutsu, literally "Person
Puppets"
Type: S-rank, probably: Hiden, Supplementary
Users:
Sasori, Chiyo
Human puppets are a form of puppets made from actual
humans, hence the name. The technique for creating them was developed
by Sasori. This technique allows the puppeteer to turn a still living
human into a puppet. Because the puppet was once human, it can still
use chakra and even some of the jutsu it knew. First, the entrails
are removed. Then, once the skin has been peeled off, the user
cleanses them and draws out all of the blood. Once the bodies are
preserved so they do not decompose, various gadgets are then
installed inside of them. The puppet will maintain the same amount of
chakra as its original body held when it was alive. If the original
ninja was highly skilled, like the Third Kazekage, the puppet can
retain its original abilities as well. Even the unique body traits
will be passed on to its puppet form, like the Third Kazekage's Iron
Sand. Thus, the puppeteer can still use all the original jutsu the
ninja once utilized.

Important Body Points Disturbance
Name: Ranshinshō, literally
"Important Body Points Disturbance"
Type: A-rank,
Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Tsunade
By attacking
the base of the brain stem with chakra converted to electricity,
Tsunade is able to flip the brain's movement signals to the arms and
legs. For example, if one tried to move their right arm, their left
leg would move in the way they wanted their right arm to move.
Ink Clone
Name: Sumi Bunshin, literally "Ink Clone"
Type:
Unknown
Users: Sai
This jutsu creates clones out of ink. The
clones revert back to ink once damaged enough.
Iron Sand
Name: Satetsu, literally "Iron Sand"
Type:
S-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary, Short to mid-range
(0-10m)
Users: Third Kazekage
This jutsu was created by the
Third Kazekage, who based it on techniques used by one of the
previous Jinchuriki of Shukaku. By converting his chakra into
magnetic forces, the Third Kazekage could manipulate iron powder into
any shape he desired.
After the Third Kazekage was turned into a
puppet by Sasori, the latter was able to use Iron Sand and its
related jutsu as well. Sasori used Iron Sand to, among other things;
clot the joints of Chiyo's puppet barrier, further disabling them.
The effect was cancelled after Sakura destroyed the Third Kazekage
puppet.
The Iron Sand used by Sasori was highly poisonous, which
was probably added by Sasori himself.
Iron Sand Drizzle
Name: Satetsu Shigure, literally "Iron Sand
Drizzle"
Type: Unknown, probably: S-rank, Offensive, Short to
mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Third Kazekage
This jutsu is similar
to Gaara's Sand Drizzle. The Kazekage uses his Iron Sand to create a
rain of Iron Sand bullets, which pours down on the enemy.
Iron Sand World Order
Name: Satetsu Kaihō, literally "Iron
Sand World Order/Cosmos"
Type: Unknown, probably: S-rank,
Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Third Kazekage
This
jutsu uses Iron Sand to create an expanding sphere of spikes.

Kusanagi Sword: Long Sword of the Heavens
Name: Kusanagi no
Tsurugi: Kū no Tachi, literally "Kusanagi Sword: Long Sword of
the Heavens"
Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range
(0-10m)
Users: Orochimaru
This technique arms Orochimaru with
the Kusanagi ("Grass Halberd") of Japanese legend. To
retrieve it, Orochimaru opens his mouth and a snake comes out. The
snake then opens its mouth and produces the Kusanagi. In the anime,
it glows a white, bluish aura, possibly symbolic of the name "sword
of the heavens". The sword can also be greatly extended in
length. Orochimaru has so far reserved the use of the sword to
difficult fights, such as those against the Third Hokage, the Fourth
Kazekage, Jiraiya and Tsunade, and the four-tailed Kyubi
Naruto.
Sasuke also has a Kusanagi sword, which he amplifies with
his Chidori Current. Sasuke's sword, however, is not the same
legendary sword. Sasuke's Kusanagi resembles a katana in a shirasaya,
a wooden sheath designed to conceal or store a blade for a long time,
but less suited for battle than an ordinary sheath. Additionally,
Sasuke carries his Kusanagi rather than summoning it, enabling him to
draw the sword very quickly. Lastly, he is not able to stretch the
blade, unlike the real Kusanagi.

Last Absolute Defense: Shield of Shukaku
Name: Saikō Zettai
Bōgyo: Shukaku no Tatte, literally "Last Absolute Defense:
Shield of Shukaku"
Type: No rank, Short range (0-5m),
Defensive
Users: Gaara
Gaara creates a small sand sculpture of
Shukaku which defends him from virtually any type of offensive
attack. Although this technique requires a lot of chakra, it does
provide for a very powerful defense. Because the attacker could just
walk around the shield, making the defense anything but absolute,
Gaara has to make sure his opponent either can't or won't move. The
sculpture doesn't closely resemble the Shukaku, but rather a toy-like
replica of the beast.
Leech All Creation: Attack Prevention Technique
Name: Hiru Banshō:
Bōka no Jutsu, literally "Leech All Creation: Attack Prevention
Technique"
Type: No rank, probably: Defensive
Users:
Orochimaru, Nagare
The user merges with or within a nearby object,
taking on its properties, and avoiding any damage. In the manga,
Orochimaru uses this to merge with a tree just before his battle with
his former student, Anko Mitarashi. He, however, does not give it a
name. In the anime, when Orochimaru uses it during his battle against
the Third Hokage, he leaves behind an illusion of himself getting
barraged by the Third's attacks in order to confuse his opponent.
Lightning Cut
Name: Raikiri,
literally "Lightning Cut",
Viz "Lightning Blade/Thrust", English TV "Lightning
Blade" (a.k.a. "Lightning Edge")
Type: S-rank,
Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
User: Kakashi Hatake
This jutsu
is an enhanced form of the Chidori with the same, albeit more
powerful, effect. Kakashi is the only one able to use it, and it is
named as such because he once cut a lightning bolt with it. This
jutsu requires a larger amount of chakra and better chakra control.
Because of this, it is an S-rank jutsu, while the Chidori is an
A-rank jutsu.
Living Corpse Reincarnation
Name: Fushi Tensei,
literally
"Living Corpse Reincarnation"
Type: Kinjutsu, S-rank,
Supplementary
Users: Orochimaru
This kinjutsu, developed by
Orochimaru, allows him to transfer his mind to someone else's body.
If repeated periodically, it basically grants the user immortality as
long as the user can find new host bodies. Orochimaru can only
perform this technique once about every three years. It also seems
that when the three years are almost over, he is forced to move into
another host, as the previous one begins to reject him. This
rejection may be due to Orochimaru's hosts being unable to contain
his considerable power. Presumably, if he had a proper container, he
could stay in the host indefinitely. The fact that he wants to
prepare Sasuke Uchiha for the transfer before performing it seems to
reinforce this.

Man Beast Combination Transformation: Double-Headed Wolf
Name:
Jinjū Konbi Henge: Sōtōrō,literally "Man Beast Combination
Transformation: Double-Headed Wolf"
Type: B-rank,
Supplementary
Users: Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru
Using this jutsu,
the user and their dog transform themselves into a large double
headed-wolf using a modified form of a Combination Transformation.
Manipulating Attack Blades
Name: Sōshūha,
literally
"Manipulating Attack Blades"
Type: C-rank, Offensive,
Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Yashamaru, Chiyo
This jutsu
allows the user to control and manipulate blades, which can fly
through the air and attack targets.
Manipulating Windmill Triple Blades
Name: Sōfūshasan no Tachi,
literally "Manipulating Windmill Triple Blades", English TV
"Windmill Triple Attack"
Type: C-rank, Offensive,
Mid-range (5-10m)
Users: Sasuke Uchiha
Utilizing the abilities
of the Sharingan, the user is able to control three shuriken that
have wire cords attached to them (two held with the hands and one
with the mouth) and manipulate their paths to tie the opponent to a
nearby large object, binding them. If there is no object, the
shuriken will impale the opponent.
Mind Body Disturbance Technique
Name: Shinranshin no Jutsu,
literally "Mind Body Disturbance Technique"
Type:
B-rank, Supplementary, Close to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Inoichi
Yamanaka, Ino Yamanaka
This jutsu is a more advanced form of the
Mind Body Switch Technique. Instead of transferring the user's
consciousness, this jutsu sends a spirit of confusion into a target,
causing them to attack their allies. Although the target is mentally
aware of what they are doing, they are unable to control their body.
For this particular jutsu, the user is able to stay in their own
body, unlike its predecessor. In the anime, it has been revealed that
Ino also knows this jutsu.
Mind Body Switch Technique
Name: Shintenshin no Jutsu,
literally
"Mind Body Switch Technique", Viz "Art of
the Valentine", English TV
"Ninja Art: Mind Transfer
Jutsu"
Type: C-rank, Supplementary, Short to mid-range
(0-10m)
Users: Ino Yamanaka
This jutsu allows the user to
enter a target's mind, taking control of their body and senses.
Though normally used as a spying jutsu, it can also be used in battle
with several major drawbacks. The user's spirit travels slowly,
making it somewhat easy to dodge, and if they miss their target, they
are left helpless for a span of several minutes, which is the time it
takes for the user's spirit to return to their own body. Even if the
technique does work, the user's ability to stay in an enemy's body is
determined by how fatigued they are. When the user is inside of the
target's body, any damage that is inflicted upon the target will also
is inflicted upon their original body. Therefore, if the target dies,
so does the user. Also, the user can be forced out if facing a strong
enough will (or two wills, in Sakura Haruno's case).
Art of the
Valentine, which is used along with Shintenshin no Jutsu in the Viz
English manga, is not a literal translation of Shintenshin no Jutsu,
although Shintenshin is a Japanese card game that literally means
"Change of Heart".
Multi-Size Technique
Name: Baika no Jutsu, literally "Multi-Size
Technique", Viz "The Art of Expansion", English TV
"Expansion Jutsu"
Type: Hiden, No rank,
Supplementary
Users: Choza Akimichi, Choji Akimichi
This is a
secret jutsu passed down in the Akimichi clan that expands the user's
stomach. This jutsu increases the user's body size, using up the
user's food energy by converting calories into chakra. Akimichi clan
members tend to eat fattening foods and have large physiques in order
to support this technique.
Multiple Shadow Clone Technique
Name: Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu,
literally "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique" or "Mass
Shadow Replication Technique", English TV "Multi Shadow
Clone Jutsu"
Type: A-rank, Supplementary
Users: Naruto
Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake
This jutsu is basically a massive version
of the Shadow Clone Technique. Instead of a few clones, it creates a
few hundred clones (or a number of equal grandeur). This is
considered a forbidden technique, because it can potentially be
dangerous to the person performing it, seeing as all of the clones
are given an equal amount of chakra directly from the user. Naruto
learned the technique from the scroll of forbidden seals written by
the First Hokage and used it to save Iruka from Mizuki. Few people
are able to use this technique effectively, due to the large amount
of chakra it consumes. This technique is also used by Naruto to train
quickly, since all the clones share their experiences with Naruto.
Mystical Palm Technique
Name: Shōsen Jutsu, literally "Mystical
Palm Technique"
Type: A-rank, Supplementary, Short range
(0-5m)
Users: All medical ninja
By concentrating chakra to the
hand, the user is able to cure wounds by focusing their own chakra to
where the critical injuries lie, healing them in the process. This
jutsu, however, uses up a high amount of chakra. Very skilled
medic-nin such as Tsunade and Kabuto can use this technique to
perform surgeries that otherwise would not be possible. This may also
be utilized in combat as a chakra scalpel, allowing the user to sever
their opponent's muscle fibers or their chakra circulatory system at
the point of contact.

Needle Guardian
Name: Hari Jizō, literally "Spiked Jizō"
(a.k.a. "Spiked Buddha")
Type: B-rank, Offensive,
Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Jiraiya
Jiraiya causes
his long, spiky hair to wrap around him and harden in a manner
similar to a hedgehog or porcupine's quills, defending against any
physical attacks. This is effective as a method for forcing someone
away, or stopping a powerful strike.
O
----------------------------------
One Thousand Birds
Name: Chidori,, literally "One Thousand
Birds"
Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users:
Kakashi Hatake, Sasuke Uchiha
This jutsu is Hatake Kakashi's only
original technique, though he now uses an S-ranked version known as
the Raikiri. He created it around the time he was promoted to Jonin,
and later taught it to Sasuke Uchiha. This jutsu channels a large
concentration of chakra to the user's arm. The amount of chakra is so
large that it becomes visible to the naked eye as a ball of
electricity. In fact, the technique actually alters the nature of the
user's chakra, effectively converting it into electricity. Once the
technique is completed, the users charge forward and stab their enemy
with it. As a side effect of the conversion process, the large amount
of chakra and the speed at which the user moves, this technique makes
a loud noise similar to many birds chirping, hence the name. This
technique is classified as an assassination technique, despite the
loud noise it produces.
Because of the high concentration of
chakra, and the speed at which the attack is done, the Chidori can
break through almost any defense; however, the speed at which the
attack must be done, combined with the fact that the user must run in
a straight line, causes a tunnel vision-like effect for the user.
This allows their enemy to easily counter the attack, making it a
potentially lethal move for the user. Though this drawback would seem
to make learning the technique fairly pointless, Sasuke and Kakashi
are able to avoid the drawback because of their Sharingan eyes, which
take in every detail regardless of how fast the user is moving. As an
additional drawback, the large amount of chakra required limits its
use to a few times a day (two for Sasuke, four for Kakashi). These
numbers are undoubtedly higher in Part II. Sasuke can manage one more
than normal with the use of his cursed seal. Should the user attempt
to go beyond that limit, all of their chakra will be drained, and
their very life force could go along with it, killing them.
One Thousand Birds Current
Name: Chidori Nagashi, literally "One
Thousand Birds Current"
Type: S-rank, Offensive, Defensive,
Short range (0-5m)
Users: Sasuke Uchiha
A variation on a
regular Chidori, this jutsu was developed by Sasuke during his
two-and-a-half year training with Orochimaru. This jutsu allows
Sasuke to produce a Chidori effect around his entire body, instead of
just his hand. The energy can be channeled anywhere, allowing Sasuke
to enhance his attacks with Chidori energy. Because it is channeled
throughout his entire body and not concentrated, the energy will only
cause temporary paralysis instead of killing an opponent. While this
is not a problem in one-on-one battles, it does allow others to save
their comrade if Sasuke is outnumbered. Sasuke can also channel the
energy through his Kusanagi sword, increasing its overall strength
and cutting power.

----------------------------------
Parasite Demon Demolition Technique
Name: Kisei Kikai no Jutsu,
literally "Parasite Demon Demolition Technique"
Type:
Kekkei Genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Ukon,
Sakon
Ukon is able to fuse with the opponent as he normally does
with Sakon, the difference being that he will slowly destroy the
host's cells and slowly kill them. The one weakness of this jutsu is
that any injury the host receives is transferred to Ukon as well.
Sakon seems to be able to use this technique, as he attempted to fuse
with Kankuro before discovering that 'Kankuro' was actually a puppet.
Partial Multi-Size Technique
Name: Bubun Baika no Jutsu, literally
"Partial Multi-Size Technique"
Type: Hiden, No rank,
Supplementary
Users: Akimichi clan
this is a secret jutsu
passed down in the Akimichi clan. Similar to the Multi-Size
Technique, this jutsu allows a user to increase the size of a
specific body part, such as an arm or leg.
Poison Extraction Technique
Name: Dokunuki no Jutsu, literally
"Poison Extraction Technique"
Type: S-rank,
Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Sakura Haruno
This
ornate jutsu uses chakra to literally pull foreign materials from
someone's body, no doubt requiring precision control on the part of
the user to avoid causing internal injury to their patient. Sakura
uses this technique to remove Sasori's poison from Kankuro after
their battle. None of the medic-nin on hand could perform the
technique, so it is no doubt quite difficult to perform properly.
Poison Mist
Name: Dokugiri, literally "Poison Mist"
Type:
B-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Shizune
The
user breathes out a toxic gas from their body, which can also be used
as a smokescreen.
Prepared Needle Shot
Name: Shikomishindan,
literally "Prepared
Needle Shot"
Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range
(0-10m)
Users: Shizune
The user of this technique launches
five needles from a wrist-mounted device. This device is usually used
to surprise the enemy, as it may be concealed under long sleeves.
These needles are also dipped with a lethal poison to add to their
fatality.
Prison Sand Burial
Name: Gokusamaisō, literally "Prison Sand
Burial"
Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Gaara
The ground quickly loosens below the opponent and
causes everything in the area to completely sink hundreds of meters
deep within the earth. By being imprisoned at this depth, the
pressure on the opponent will prevent him from even moving a finger.
Projectile Weapons
Name: Tobidōgu, literally "Projectile
Weapons"
Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range
(0-10m)
Users: Tenten, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasori, Sound Four
In
order to store and use large items or various weapons that the user
would never be capable of carrying normally, the user can keep them
contained within summoning scrolls.
Projection Technique
Name: Utsusemi no Jutsu, literally
"Projection Technique"
Type: Unknown, probably:
Supplementary
Users: Zabuza Momochi, Orochimaru, Jigumo
From a
hidden location, the user can project their voice in a way similar to
ventriloquism. Those in the area where the voice is being directed at
will hear a resonating echo, as well as a more ominous
undertone.
Projection Technique is only known as a jutsu in the
Naruto anime. It was first used in the Naruto manga by Zabuza Momochi
and Orochimaru with no name. In addition, this technique has never
been given an entry name in the data books, which more than likely
means it is more of a skill than a jutsu.
Puppet Technique
Name: Kugutsu no Jutsu, literally "Puppet
Technique", Viz "Art of the Puppet Master", English TV
"Puppet Master Jutsu"
Type: Unknown or Hidden,
Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary, Close to mid-range
(0-10m)
Users: Kankuro, Sasori, Chiyo, Monzaemon
Just like a
marionette, the users of this jutsu can control a puppet using
strings of chakra from their fingers. This skill is often prepared in
coordination with the Body Replacement Technique so the user can
quickly replace their body with the puppet when they feel the need to
activate it. Another useful quality of this skill is the fact that
the puppet can take the form of another person, or, more commonly,
its user, allowing the user to make it seem as if they're fighting
the enemy when in fact the puppet is doing so.
Apart from being
used to control marionettes, the chakra strings can be attached to
other objects, allowing the user to control, or at the very least
disrupt, certain objects. In one instance, Kankuro uses chakra
strings to trip Naruto Uzumaki when they first meet. In another,
Chiyo uses chakra strings to control Sakura Haruno like a puppet.

Users: Gaara
This technique moves
sand in the likeness of an ocean wave towards the enemy, covering and
"drowning" them in an ocean of sand. This appears to be the

to
start the technique, Sasori removes two summoning scrolls from his
back. He then opens his right chest compartment to emit one hundred
chakra strings, which reach into the scrolls. From the scrolls, one
hundred human puppets emerge, each one a defeated and converted
opponent of Sasori. Sasori claims that he brought down an entire
country with this jutsu.
Rope Escape Technique

or
"Sand Replication" Viz
"Sand Doppelganger",

Type: No rank,
Supplementary
Users: Gaara
this jutsu creates a clone of Gaara
out of sand. Perhaps the most versatile of all clones, this variant
does not disperse when hit. Instead, it simply transforms the
attacked area back into sand in order to snag and attack the
opponent. Major damage must be caused to actually disperse the clone.
Otherwise, it can simply reform.
Sand Drizzle
Name: Suna Shigure, literally "Sand Drizzle"

Users: Naruto Uzumaki, Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon
This is
simply a Transformation Technique used to transform the user into a
beautiful, nude woman (or, in episode 177 a woman in a bathing suit).
Naruto uses it to drive his instructors to distraction, sometimes
leading to an exaggerated nosebleed by the victim, and it is indeed
annoyingly effective. Naruto was forced to use this jutsu in order to
receive training from Jiraiya.
A variant of this technique is the
Harem Technique, which uses varying numbers of shadow clones in
combination with the technique to produce multiple clones of a nude

The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, which can
be dangerous if the user is low on chakra or makes too many clones,
such as Naruto does with Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, this
jutsu's enhanced form. Naruto himself need not worry about running
out of chakra, however, since his chakra supply is almost unlimited
because of his biju, the Kyubi. Even without the Kyubi's chakra,
Naruto can make quite a few clones, but nowhere near on the level he
can when he has access to the Kyubi's chakra.
Like other clones,
they can perform jutsu and cause damage to their target. The clones
will disperse when enough damage has been done. Unlike other clones,
they can't be detected by the Byakugan because the clones have the
exact same amount of chakra and aren't made of any other material,
making them indistinguishable from the genuine article. The
Sharingan, however, can tell the difference, likely through an
application of its analytical properties and attention to
detail.
Finally, any experience the clones gain during their
existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This
makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send
a clone to spy on a target, and that clone need not return on foot to
pass the information back to the user. It's also useful for training
purposes, but far more difficult since a large number of clones are
needed to make a significant difference in the training time. It's
unclear if other types of clones possess this advantage.
Shadow Imitation Technique
Name: Kagemane no Jutsu,
literally
"Shadow Imitation Technique" (a.k.a. "Kage
Shibari no Jutsu, literally
"Shadow Bind Technique"),
Viz "The Art of Me-and-My-Shadow", English TV
"Ninja
Art: Shadow Possession Jutsu"
Type: No rank, Hidden,
Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Shikaku Nara,
Shikamaru Nara
The signature move of the Nara family, the user's
shadow is extended to touch the opponent's shadow, combining them.
This links the movements of the user with the target; the target is
subsequently forced to make any movement the user makes. It is an
extremely versatile technique, as given enough talent the user can
contract and change the shape of their shadow, potentially grabbing
multiple targets at once. Using the shadows of other objects, the
user can extend their shadow beyond its normal range. The amount of
time for which an opponent can be held is limited by the user's
chakra, since the user must maintain the jutsu. Additionally, the
target can force their way free with enough effort, though a
considerable amount of effort is required to do so.
The Shadow
Imitation Technique used to be called the Shadow Bind Technique,
suggesting that the imitation aspect was devised later on and that
the original technique could only hold targets in place.

Type:
D-rank, Offensive, Mid- to long range (5+m)
Users: Sasuke
Uchiha
The user of this technique throws multiple large shuriken
in such a way that the first shuriken hides the subsequent ones by
blocking the line of sight. To the target, it appears as if only one
shuriken was thrown.
Sasuke used this technique with two large
shuriken against Zabuza Momochi. When he used it, he referred to the
technique as "Wind Demon Shuriken, Shadow Windmill", which
in the English version was dubbed as "Demon Wind Shuriken,
Windmill of Shadows".
Shapeshifting Technique
Name: Shōten no Jutsu, literally
"Shapeshifting Technique"
Type: Unknown, probably:
S-rank, Supplementary, All ranges
Users: Akatsuki leader
this
technique creates a duplicate of one person using another person.
This duplicate's abilities are proportionate to, and limited by, the
amount of chakra given to it by the duplicated person. This jutsu
can't be seen through by the Sharingan or Byakugan. It can even
duplicate kekkei genkai, though the limited amount of chakra makes
the copy somewhat less effective than the original. The duplicates
can either act autonomously or be controlled by the originals. Once
the chakra runs out or the sacrificial body dies, the Shapeshifting
Technique will end and the actual person used will be revealed.
Shield of Chakra
Name: Chakra no Tate, literally "Shield of

Type: Unknown, probably: Defensive, Short range
(0-5m)
Users: Chiyo
A technique used by puppet masters, this
shield is created when chakra is emitted in the form of a disk from
panels that are released from the puppet's arms. This chakra shield
can protect the user from several hazardous attacks; however, enough
clotting force (such as Iron Sand) can clog up the puppet's arm
joints and, additionally, render the arms useless.
Shield of Sand
Name: Suna no Tate, literally
"Shield of
Sand", English TV "Sand Shield"
Type: No rank,
Defensive
Users: Gaara
Regardless of his own will, this jutsu
automatically surrounds and protects Gaara from incoming attacks.
Capable of withstanding considerably strong attacks and projectiles,
this sand shield can become stronger than steel. It can be defeated
by avoiding it completely with extremely high-speed attacks, or
merely overcoming the shield with incredible brute force.

Users: Naruto
Uzumaki
Once Naruto clones himself using his Shadow Clone
Technique, he and his clones throw a large number of shuriken from
all angles at their opponent. It is similar in practice to the
Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique used by the Third Hokage during his
fight with Orochimaru.
Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique

body into smaller slugs; by doing so, she can use this technique to
escape harm. The smaller versions can also recombine to form her
original self in its entirety.
Soft Physique Modification
Name: Nan no Kaizō, literally "Soft
Physique Modification"
Type: No rank, Hidden,
Supplementary
Users: Misumi Tsurugi, Orochimaru
originally
developed for spying activities, this technique can be done after
some surgery and actual body modification. The user can then stretch
and twist any parts of their body at any angle, elongating and
allowing themselves to coil around their opponent, surprising them.
This can also be used to make the user's body more malleable and
snakelike. Orochimaru can do this without surgical modification
thanks to his various forbidden jutsu.
Spider Bind
Name: Kumo Shibari, literally "Spider Bind"
Type:
Hidden, No rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
Users:
Kidomaru
after gathering his spider webbing into the mouth,
Kidomaru spits it out into a wide web pattern. This web can envelop
his foes and tie them down to a nearby surface. This stickiness is
caused by him mixing his chakra with his body fluid, making the web
stronger and more refined than steel. The technique is so refined
that even after having left his body, his chakra will continue to
flow through the thread to hold his opponent in place.
Spider Cocoon
Name: Kumo Mayu, literally "Spider
Cocoon"
Type: Hidden, No rank, Supplementary, Short range

Name: Kumo Nenkin, literally "Spider
Sticky Gold" (a.k.a. "Golden Spider Spines")
Type:
Hidden, No rank, Supplementary
Users: Kidomaru
Unlike
Kidomaru's binding webs, this technique produces a liquid that
hardens into a chakra-blocking metal. He can form the metal into
various weapons (spines, in this case) to use against his opponent.
Spider War Bow: Terrible Split
Name: Kumo Senkyū: Susaku,
literally "Spider War Bow: Terrible Split"
Type: Hidden,
No rank, Offensive, Long range (10+m)
Users: Kidomaru
When in
his level two cursed seal form, Kidomaru expels Spider Sticky Gold
from his mouth and gathers it to form a large war bow. He will then
open his third eye on his forehead to increase the accuracy of his
shot. Kidomaru is known for not making any wasteful attacks since
each attack is used to further refine ways to kill his target. With
each shot, he refines his attack. The power and accuracy of his
attacks further increase with the use of a web string attached to the
arrow, allowing Kidomaru to guide it remotely.
Spider Web Area
Spider Web Area Name: Kumo Sōkei,literally
"Spider Web Area"
Type: Hidden, No rank, Supplementary,
All ranges
Users: Kidomaru
If Kidomaru is in enemy territory
and needs to rest while still remaining on guard, he can lay spider
thread throughout all of a surrounding area. Most ninja will
recognize the thread as common spider web; however this thread will
run all the way back to a finger on Kidomaru's hand. Slight movement
against a webbing thread will pull it all the way back to Kidomaru's
finger and alert him to the nearby presence.
Spider Web Flower
Spider Web Flower Name: Kumo Sōka, literally
"Spider Web Flower"
Type: Hidden, No rank,
Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Kidomaru
After
gathering his spider thread into his mouth, Kidomaru will spit
net-like cobwebs of the thread at his target. These nets will fly
through the air and upon hitting an opponent, will stick and bind the
ninja to any nearby surface.
Spider Web Unfold
Name: Kumo Sōkai,
literally "Spider Web
Unfold"
Type: Hidden, No rank, Supplementary, Short to
mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Kidomaru
After gathering his spider
thread into a ball in his hands, Kidomaru releases it in the form of
a large spider web to catch his opponent. Once the target touches the
thread, its stickiness will hold them in place. The webbing is so
strong that it can support up to two elephants.
Kidomaru uses this opportunity to launch Golden Spider Spines at his defenseless opponent. No matter how much the opponent tries to cut through the webbing, conventional edged blades will not be able to cut or slice through it.
Spiraling Sphere
Name: Rasengan, literally "Spiraling
Sphere"
Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users:
Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya, Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake
The
Spiraling Sphere is an A-ranked technique invented by the Fourth
Hokage after three years of training. It requires a very high level
of chakra control. For training purposes, teaching the technique is
broken into three steps. First, the user has to learn to pop a water
balloon with their chakra. Second, they must do the same with a solid
rubber ball. Finally, the user has to form a complete Spiraling
Sphere by combining what they learned in the previous two steps. A
regular balloon is often used to act as the shell. In Part II, Naruto
develops an improved version known as the Great Ball Spiraling
Sphere.
The Spiraling Sphere incorporates the chakra control
learned from the tree-climbing and water-walking exercises to create
a ball of concentrated, spinning chakra in the user's hand that is
slightly larger than a baseball. The Spiraling Sphere is somewhat
akin to the One Thousand Birds, but arguably stronger and less
dangerous to use. Additionally, the Spiraling Sphere is rarely fatal,
though the target of it could certainly be killed by whatever they
crash into after they are propelled by the Spiraling Sphere. Also,
unlike the One Thousand Birds, it alters the shape of the user's
chakra, not its nature. According to Kakashi, it represents the
highest level of such an alteration.
The Spiraling Sphere requires
no hand seals to perform, instead relying entirely on the chakra
control of the user to create a spinning ball of chakra in one hand.
Once the user creates a stable Spiraling Sphere, however, it becomes
self-sustaining, so the user does not need to provide any more chakra
after forming it. The force of the spinning chakra grinds into
whatever it touches, causing major damage. The user can also release
the spinning chakra, creating a violent explosive force at the point
of contact. The one drawback of the Spiraling Sphere, if it can be
considered as such, is that it requires great chakra control. Of
course, this will not be a drawback if the user has learned the
technique, because they already possess the necessary chakra control.
Unlike the One Thousand Birds, there is no definite limit to the
amount of times this technique can be used in a day. Because it uses
far less chakra in comparison, it doesn't carry the same over-use
risk as the One Thousand Birds, either.
Despite the Rasengan being
a one-handed technique, Naruto actually uses three or more hands to
form it (his one hand holds and spins the chakra while any number of
clones creates a shell with their hands). When Naruto accesses his
tailed transformation states, he can form the Rasengan with one hand
by using the Kyubi chakra to form the shell, which likely provides
better control and power. It also forms irregularly and grows as it
mixes with the Kyubi's chakra, giving it a purple color.
The anime
makes light of the Spiraling Sphere by making it an "all-purpose
jutsu". During episode 168, Naruto uses it to mix the
ingredients for noodles quickly and evenly. In episode 177, Jiraiya
uses it to create a path through a maze of houses, in order to see
through everything behind the walls (inadvertently blasting through a
woman's bathroom). While outrunning some ninja, Jiraiya uses it to as
a propeller for a boat; in this episode, Naruto even commented that
it had become a "cheap trick", even though he himself uses
it at Jiraiya's insistence. In episode 194 of the anime, Naruto
actually throws a Rasengan to free himself and his friends from a
mansion. The last event is a significant deviation on the standard
Spiraling Sphere, since it is normally hand-held, and may not be
canon since these are filler episodes. He does, however, do something
similar when first using the technique against Kabuto.
Though
Kakashi doesn't use the technique regularly, he has demonstrated that
he can do so. He also explains that the Spiraling Sphere is an
incomplete technique, since the Fourth Hokage originally planned on
combining his own nature manipulation with it. Such a feat, however,
proved too difficult for both him and Kakashi. Naruto, however, might
be capable of doing so.
Sprinkling Needles
Name: Jōro Senbon, literally "Sprinkling Needles", Viz
"It's Raining Needles From Heaven", English TV "Ninja

Type: C-rank, Offensive, Mid-range
(5-10m)
Users: Shigure, Rokusho Aoi
A barrage of hundreds of
needles flies at the enemy from sockets of an umbrella that has been
flung into the air. They come at the enemy at Mach speed and can
surround them from all directions. Chakra is utilized to control and
increase the accuracy of every needle, making them impossible to
dodge or evade. In the manga, it is said that the needles are capable
of piercing through five millimeters of steel, yet they are not
powerful enough to get past Gaara's Shield of Sand.
Suicide Bombing Clone

Users: Kakashi Hatake
The user summons
several Ninken (ninja dogs) directly into the ground. The Ninken
follow a scent given to them during the summoning and burst from the
ground under it, grabbing whatever target happens to be there at the
time. The target is unable to move after being grabbed, since several
large dogs are hanging from its limbs.
Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer Technique

Summoning: Impure World Resurrection
Name: Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei,
literally "Summoning: Impure World Resurrection", English
TV "Forbidden Jutsu: Return of the Dead"
Type: Kinjutsu,
S-rank, Supplementary
Users: Orochimaru
This technique allows
the user to revive the dead. The user must first sacrifice a living
human in order to tie the deceased person's soul to the world (unlike
the normal summoning technique, which only requires some of the
user's blood). The body summoned is formed out of dirt and dust and
rises out of the ground in front of the user inside a wooden coffin.
At first, they appear pale and dirty, as most undead are portrayed.
The user has to restore their appearance through a special seal. The
summoned person cannot be killed, and any damage to them regenerates.
This technique can be used to summon multiple people at once,
depending on the amount of sacrifices and chakra level of the user.
The revived person is not under the user's control unless certain
things are done to erode away their emotions and memories, which can
be done with the same seal that restores their appearance. Orochimaru
uses this technique during his battle with the Third Hokage in the
Destruction of Konoha arc to summon the First and Second Hokages. He
had also intended to summon someone else, but the Third prevented the
coffin from opening. Presumably, the Fourth was in this coffin, which
is supported by the symbol on the coffin, but this is contradicted by
facts introduced later in the battle.

Users: Sakon, Ukon, Orochimaru
this summoning creates
a demonic form of the main gate of old Kyoto capable of blocking
almost any attack. It was previously believed that two people were
required to summon it, as both Sakon and Ukon did; however,
Orochimaru has been able to summon three of these gates by himself
with his Triple Rashomon. To do so, he simply uses both hands,
instead of one as is common in a summoning.
Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind
Name: Kuchiyose: Gamaguchi Shibari,
literally "Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind"
Type: A-rank,
Offensive, All ranges
Users: Jiraiya
This jutsu encloses the
surrounding area with the esophagus of a great, fire-breathing toad
from Mount Myoboku: Rock Lodging ("Myōboku-san: Iwayado").
Jiraiya can then control the stomach, causing it to expand, contract,
or grow in whatever direction he wishes. When first used, Jiraiya
claimed that no one had ever escaped from this jutsu. Itachi Uchiha
and Kisame Hoshigaki manage to escape, however. Itachi uses his
Amaterasu to burn through the stomach. In a filler arc, Jiraiya uses
a variation of this jutsu when he summons an able-bodied toad's
stomach to protect himself and Naruto from Kagero's Ephemeral
Vengeance.
Summoning Technique
Name: Kuchiyose no Jutsu, literally "Summoning

C-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary
Users: Kakashi Hatake,
Might Guy, Orochimaru, Third Hokage, Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya, Naruto
Uzumaki, Kabuto Yakushi, Tsunade, Temari, Tenten, etc.
The basic
form of all summoning techniques, this jutsu uses a contract, hand
seals, and the user's blood to bind an animal to the user. The type
of animal is determined by the contract. The blood is used as a
signature to make the contract, which can be written on a scroll or
tattoo, valid. Once bound, the animal can be summoned to perform a
task or help the user in battle.
The summon usually is subservient
to the summoner; however, the more powerful summons, such as
Gamabunta and Manda, demand respect and loyalty from their summoners.
Manda even demands hundreds of live human sacrifices.

Users: Jiraiya
this
jutsu is the ultimate peeping technique developed by Jiraiya when he
was still a student under the Third Hokage. This jutsu allows Jiraiya
to escape from women's bathhouses unheard and unseen. It appears to
be ineffective against his longtime female companion Tsunade. It is
unknown what this jutsu actually does, but it probably makes him
invisible to the human eye.
Besides its use for peeping, it is
also very useful for Jiraiya's espionage activities. When he's about
to be caught, this jutsu also allows for him to escape an area
without a trace.
Triple Rashomon

Naruto's version of Sasuke Uchiha's Lion Combo of that he
used to defeat Kiba Inuzuka in the Chunin exam. Naruto uses his
Shadow Clone Technique to make up for his lack of speed. He makes
four clones, which shout "U!" "Zu!" "Ma!"
"Ki!" as they kick the opponent into the air, and the real
Naruto finishes the combo with "Naruto Rendan!" and a kick
from above. In the English dub, the corresponding shouts are "Na",
"Ru", "To", "Uzumaki Barrage!" Kakashi
comments on the obvious similarities between the two, glad that
Naruto at least bothered to change the name, somewhat. On each
occasion Naruto has used this technique he has performed it
differently. Though Naruto's version of the technique is no more
effective than Sasuke's, perhaps even less so, his is ranked higher
due to his use of shadow clones.

Vanishing Facial Copy Technique

literally "Vanishing Facial Copy Technique"
Type:
B-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Orochimaru
This
jutsu allows the user to peel the face of another person off and wear
it like a mask, effectively impersonating said person. In addition to
copying the victim's face, it also copies their voice. The grisly
effect of this is that the target loses their face entirely, as if it
were dissolved clean off their head. Orochimaru uses it to infiltrate

Hatake, Rain ninja
This jutsu creates one or more identical copies
of the user out of water. Like the Shadow Clone Technique, these

this jutsu is used to trap the victim inside a

technique is that the user must keep at least one arm inside the

Clones can be used in place of the actual person, provided that the
clone is the one who performed the technique. This jutsu cannot be
performed without a sufficiently large body of water to supply the
water for it. Neji Hyuga has been able to use his ability to release
chakra from all of his pressure points to disrupt the flow of chakra
inside the prison and break free. Despite the fact that the prison is
made up entirely out of water, and the target is unable to move while
within it, the target still seems to be able to breathe, as Kakashi
was seen talking while imprisoned inside of Zabuza's water prison.
