The World of Naruto Part Three: Jutsu 2 Recurring Jutsu










Top: Sharingan Second:Shadow Clone Jutsu Third: Rasengan Fouth:Chidori Bottom:Byakugan
Intro: Most of the Jutsu that is performed in the show, is performed only once or is done only by a single person. However, some types of Jutsu are performed often by more then one person. Some of them are Kekkei Genkai, which are ninja techniques that can only be obtained genetically in some clans. Some Kekkei Genkai are eye techniques, while others like ice style jutsu and wood style jutsu are mixtures of two elements of jutsu.
Sharingan: The sharingan is and eye technique that appears in a few members of the Uchiha clan. Unlike many other Kekkei Genkai, the sharingan does not appear at birth, instead it only appears when a potential user is in a life-threatening situation. Sharingan is an eye technique that allows the user to mimic any jutsu the opponent uses as long as the user has the physical ability to perform the jutsu. The sharingan is also capable of allowing a user to track incredibly fast moving objects easily, sometimes allowing the user to predict the movements of the object. The final power of the sharingan is the power of unique kinds of hypnosis, like putting the enemy to sleep, or creating many different illusions. It is possible for a sharingan eye to be transplanted into a non-Uchiha. For example, Kakashi's sharingan eye was transplanted into him by a deceased teammate. A heightened form of sharingan, called the Mangekyo Sharingan, allows the user different more powerful and unique ablilities. However, users of the Mangekyo Sharingan suffer sight loss the more often they use the technique, and usually end up blind unless they kill someone they share a close bond with.
Shadow Clone Jutsu: This jutsu is unlike the other forms of clone jutsu, because it splits the user's chakra among the clones, making each clone a complete copy of the user with a fraction of the user's power. However, this is also a very dangerous type of jutsu, because it drains a person's chakra very quickly. The more dangerous type of this jutsu is the forbidden form, Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu, which allows the user to create any number of clones, as long as they have enough chakra. Naruto is very skilled in this technique, and due to his enormous amount of chakra, he can create thousands of clones at a time.
Rasengan: Rasengan is a techique that relies only on the user's chakra control. It is a very difficult jutsu to learn, and perform so teaching it is divided into three steps where the student learns how to mold there chakra into the shape of a perfect sphere. The creator of the rasengan originally intended to combine rasengan with an elemental chakra, but failed. However, Naruto is successful in combining rasengan with his own wind natured chakra.
Chidori: Chidori is a lighning element based jutsu. It involves the user focusing their chakra into their hand and changing it into lightning. Kakashi's Chidori is sometimes known as Raikiri (lightning blade) because he once cut a lightning bolt in half with it. Kakashi also happens to be the creator of Chidori. Chidori is a very powerful technique, but the enormous amount of chakra it takes to activate limits it's usage to a few each day.
Byakugan: The Byakugan is a Kekkei Genkai that appears naturally in members of the Hyuuga clan. Users of the Byakugan have eyes with no pupils, however when the Byakugan is activated pupils appear and the veins near the eye bulge. The Byakugan allows the user to see for long distances in a near 360 degree radius with a small blindspot at the back of the neck. Users of the Byakugan usually use the Gentle Fist style of fighting with involves attacking an opponent's chakra system stopping the flow of chakra which can kill easily. Byakugan users are capable of using the Gentle Fist style, because they are able to detect an opponent's chakra system, which is invisible to the normal eye.

The World of Naruto Part Two: Jutsu 1




Top:Genjutsu Middle:Ninjutsu Bottom: Hand Seals
Intro: Jutsu is a important component of the Naruto franchise. For a ninja to perform jutsu, they must focuse their chakra and perform a pattern of hand seals. Jutsu is classified as either Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, and Taijutsu.
Genjutsu: Genjutsu is a type of jutsu that traps the victim into an illusion. The most common type of Genjutsu are the ones that trap the the victim by causing them to hear, smell, taste,see, or feel something that isn't actually happening. There is a way to counter Genjutsu though. Someone can counter Genjutsu by disrupting their own chakra flow. However it is also possible to break the genjutsu by having a comrade forcefully insert some of their own chakra into the victim's body therefore disrupting the chakra flow of the victim and breaking the Genjutsu. Another way to break Genjutsu is if the victim experiences intense pain or if the victim loses consciousness the genjutsu will end.
Ninjutsu: Ninjutsu is the most common type of jutsu. It allows a ninja to perform things that they wouldn't normally be able to accomplish, like breathing fire. Ninjutsu requires chakra and a combination of hand seals to be activated. Complex styles of Ninjutsu involve controling elements and are classified under the five elements, earth 土遁 Doton, fire 火遁 Katon, lightning 雷遁 Raiton, water 水遁 Suiton,and wind 風遁 Fūton.
Taijutsu: Taijutsu is a type of jutsu that involves martial arts. Unlike Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, Taijutsu is based on a human's regular abilities, like stamina and speed. In some types of Taijutsu, chakra is added to make the technique more powerful, like the Gentle Fist style of fighting.

The World of Naruto Part One: Chakra







Top left: Naruto in demon fox cloak Top right: Demon fox's chakra Far left: Element Chart Near left:Chakra System


Chakra is a key component of the Naruto world. It is the invisble energy force flowing through all living things. It can be harnessed by ninja to perform jutsu. The chakra system is invisible to the naked eye, but can be seen by users of the Byakugan. If a human uses all their chakra there is a good chance they will die. Chakra also comes in different elements. Each individual has an affinity for a
certain type of chakra element. There are five types of elemental chakra, fire, wind, lightning, earth, and water. Each element has a strength and weakness against another element. For example fire is strong against wind, but is weak against water. A person with a certain type of elemental chakra is able to perform high level jutsu of the same element. Some elements are mixtures of two basic elements. For example wood is a mixture of earth and water, while ice is an element made of wind and water.
Some people, like Naruto and Gaara who have tailed beasts in their bodies, sometimes are able to call upon the beasts' incredible unlimited chakra. This gives the person unbelievable strength and enhances the person's normal abilities. However they have absolutely no control over the power, and sometimes it appears against the person's will. During the state when the person has the chakra of the beast, they might kill allies and enemies since they have lost control over their own bodies.

The Sand Siblings




Top:Kankuro Middle:Temari Bottom:Gaara
Intro: The Sand Siblings are a group of ninja from the Village Hidden Among Sand. They are siblings with Temari being the oldest, and Gaara being the youngest. They first appeared during the biannual ninja exams as antagonists, but later return as allies do to the influence of Naruto Uzumaki.
Temari: Temari is the oldest of the three siblings. Unlike her more combat-loving brothers, Temari values peace, and is very sensible in nature. She carries a large iron fan which she wields during battle to cause huge gusts of wind and for performing ninjutsu and genjutsu. Temari is skilled at identifing an opponents skills and weaknesses soon after a battle starts.
Kankuro: Kankuro is the middle sibling of the three siblings. He used to disagree with Gaara, but held himself in check in the fear of being killed. However, when Gaara begins revealing his dreams and hopes to Kankuro, he becomes protective of Gaara and readily risks his life to save him when Gaara is kidnapped. During battle, Kankuro uses his chakra to control puppets that are filled with weapons and poison. His puppets are Crow, Black Ant, and Salamander.
Gaara: Gaara is the youngest of the three siblings. His father originally intended to make him into a military weapon by sealing the one-tailed Shukaku (racoon-dog) sand spirit into him. However Gaara was tormented by his fellow villagers for being the host of a tailed beast. After one of his few remaining relatives tried to kill him, Gaara developed a violent personality, killing others to affirm the value of his existence. During battle, Gaara can break up rocks and minerals in the ground to create sand which he uses to perform his sand based jutsu. He also keeps a set amount of sand in the gourd on his back, which is a special type of sand he pours large amounts of chakra into.
