Ninjutsu :: Ninja Techniques

Name: Kuchiyose Gojū Rashōmon :: Summoning Quintuple Rashōmon
Rank: S
Type: Defensive
Range: Close
Element: N/A
Description:
With one gate already boasting enormous defensive properties, this technique grants the user summons five Rashōmon Gates to block an incoming attack. The defense is quite formidable, and with five gates, the user is able to change the trajectory of rather powerful attacks with great ease. The defensive qualities of this technique is further boosted by the lack of hand seals required to perform this technique.

Name: Rasengan :: Spiraling Sphere
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short (0-5m)
Element: N/A
Description:
The Rasengan is a powerful A-rank technique invented by a several Shinobi who observed the destructive force of the Nine Tailed Demons. These Shinobi spent several years developing the Rasengan; their plan was to take the shape transformation of one's chakra to the "highest possible point" and then combine it with a basic elemental nature affinity, creating a technique that did not need the aid of time-consuming hand seals to control. However, on shape transformation alone, the Rasengan is still a very useful, powerful, versatile, and difficult technique to learn and master. The Rasengan does not require any hand seals to use, relying only on the chakra control of the user. Once it is complete, it becomes self-sustaining. The compacted nature and moving speed of the chakra allows the Rasengan to grind into whatever it comes in contact with to inflict major damage. This tends to launch the target spiraling backward after being hit or, if the target is lying on the ground or being launched to the ground, the destructive force is enough to form a crater. The Rasengan was designed to use the caster's elemental affinities. Because of the difficulty of this, any derived jutsu can only be of the basic 5 elemental affinities and are sure to be of S-Rank.

Name: Bunshin Daibakuha :: Clone Great Explosion
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
This technique is used to create a Shadow Clone that can be detonated. This clone looks like a normal shadow clone, which allows the user to get the clone close to the target without them expecting anything besides a normal attack or the target might even close in willingly to try to attack the clone. Using multiple tricks and diversionary tactics to disguise the nature of the clone can make this technique more likely to be effective.

Name: Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu :: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close to Mid (0-9m)
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
The user creates a numerous amount of shadow clones from one shuriken. 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. this can be performed with Senbon, Shuriken, or Kunai and other projectile weapons.

Name: Kuchiyose Sanjū Rashōmon :: Summoning Triple Rashōmon
Rank: A
Type: Defensive
Range: Close
Element: N/A
Description:
An upgrade to the standard Rashōmon technique, which — as its name suggests — summons not one, but three menacing Rashōmon Gates. The technique requires two summoning seals to be completed, and these gates serve the same function as the single Rashōmon, but with triple the defense. The first gate takes the attack head-on, the second reduces the attack's power and the third disperses the pressure, causing all attacks that come in contact with it to lose their power before they can be effective. The defensive capabilities of this technique are further boosted by the lack of hand seals required to perform this technique.

Name: Shōshagan no Jutsu :: Vanishing Facial Copy Technique
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close (0-5m)
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
This technique was developed for spying with grisly effects. The user applies their hand onto the subject's face, stealing its features and making it their own. Since what is stolen is the face itself, the disguise achieved through facial features alteration won't reveal the tiniest flaw. The victims of this technique are reduced to faceless corpses. The user can even change their voice to sound like that of the victims, making a very convincing copy. However, with enough force, the face can wrinkle and tear to the point of the user's actual face being shown underneath. The face can be peeled off at any point.  

Name: Kekkai Hōjin :: Barrier Dome Method Formation
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close - Mid
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
This technique creates a spherical detection barrier with the user at the center. At the user's command, the detection barrier can expand, grasping everything in the room. The user is able to detect anyone who moves inside the barrier space with their own "sense".

Name: Konbi Henge :: Combination Transformation
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
An advanced form of the Transformation Technique, the Combination Transformation transforms two users into one being. One user usually provides the chakra while the other performs the necessary hand seals.

Name: Hari Jizō :: Needle Jizō
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
This is a technique where the user encases themselves in a countless number of sharp needles, but in truth, the spikes are the user's hair. Chakra grants the strands of hair the hardness and shape of needles, endowed with a capacity to injure and kill 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.

Name: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu :: Shadow Clone Technique  
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
Similar to the Clone Technique, this technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. Shadow clones can't be distinguished from the actual person since the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance. A characteristic that is unique to the Shadow Clone Technique is that 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, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. Any extra chakra the clone has when it disperses is also returned to the original. Because of the manner in which the clones are created, the user must divide their chakra among the clones, potentially using up all of their chakra fairly quickly if the user is low on chakra or makes too many clones. One division (one clone) will lower the Chakra rank for the user and the clone by one (1) rank and any further clones created will do the same. Thus, if a user has a chakra rank of SS and creates a Shadow Clone, both the clone and the user will then have Chakra Ranks of S until the clone is dispersed. In this manner, even very powerful Shinobi are only able to create three (3) to four (4) clones without themselves and the clones becoming very weak.

Name: Kuchiyose Rashōmon  :: Summoning Rashōmon
Rank: B
Type: Defensive
Range: Close
Element: N/A
Description:
When summoned, this menacing gate provides a tremendous defense for its summoner and is able to completely intercept an opponent's physical attack. However, the gate itself is vulnerable to attacks that cripple the base, causing it to collapse. As a special type of Summonning Technique there is no blood requirement and instead the jutsu is cast via hand seals. However, with enough mastery over this technique, the user can use it the need for hand seals.

Name: Kuchiyose Raikō Kenka :: Summoning Lightning Blade Creation
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
This is a special "ninja tool summon" that allows the user to seal ninja tools like swords or kunai into a scroll or their clothes beforehand, allowing them to be called upon when needed. The ninja tools can be summoned in an instant just by touching the sealing "marks" which can be drawn anywhere. The greatest advantage of this technique is that the time between taking out a ninja tool, taking the right stance and actually throwing it is greatly reduced. Also when a weapon such as a Fūma Shuriken is summoned, the time needed to throw it can be further shortened by having prepared the weapon in its fully extended form beforehand. The ninja tools are thrown with the actual speed of a "flash of lightning", ruining the opponent's outset of the battle, and snatching away the initiative. Furthermore, because the summoned ninja tools can remain hidden until right before they are used, if this technique is mastered, there are an exceptional number of possible tactics. A total of 100 ninja tools can be stored within any one sealing mark, which can make the efficiency of this technique last longer.

Name: Ranjishigami no Jutsu :: Wild Lion's Mane Technique  
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close - Long
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
This technique uses chakra to temporarily enhance the head's metabolism and manipulate the hair that grows longer as a result of it. There is also chakra flowing through the lengthened hair, making its hardness comparable to that of steel wire. By thickly bundling the hair, its strength is further increased, also increasing its destructive power.

Name: Shikoku Fūin :: Finger Engraving Seal
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
The user concentrates chakra into their finger and using the heat from that can apply writing to a surface of their choosing. This technique however, requires them to be very delicate with their chakra control. This technique causes slight discomfort for a living target and if it is on flesh, it will scar.

Name: Sumi Bunshin no Jutsu :: Ink Clone Technique
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
This clone, made from a small amount of ink, is different from the ordinary Clone Technique in that it has actual substance and mass, making it difficult to see through. However, experienced ninja are able to see through this technique. It would also seem that the user and his clones have the ability to stay in contact with each other until the user is rendered unconscious, at which point the clones disperse.

Name: Sumigasumi no Jutsu :: Ink Mist Technique
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
The user wraps their body in chakra-infused ink to hide themselves creating an effective smokescreen. When used in combination with the Body Flicker Technique, the user can quickly leave the battlefield without being noticed.

Name: Kuchiyose no Jutsu :: Summoning Technique
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
The Summoning Technique is a Space–Time Ninjutsu that allows the summoner to transport animals or other things across long distances instantly. One method involves just hand seals and blood. With this, before an animal summoning can be performed, a prospective summoner must first sign a contract with a given species. The contract can come in the form of a scroll or a tattoo, which is signed in the contractor's own blood and once signed is valid even after the contractors death. After this, they need only perform the hand seals, offer an additional donation of blood (biting the summoner's finger being the most common way to obtain blood), and use the same hand they signed the contract with to summon the creature. The amount of chakra used during the summoning determines how big the summoned creature can be. When an animal is summoned it is transported from its place of residence to the summoner's location. Once summoned, the animal can perform a task or help the user in battle. The summon is not required to help the user, and may be more of a hindrance than an ally. In addition, summons are able to summon their summoner. They may also wear a forehead protector, suggesting a loyalty to only one village. Summoning can also serve as a base for other techniques. Additionally, items can be "summoned" from scrolls. Because the items are not summoned from anywhere, instead only being released from storage, no blood is needed and thus it is not a conventional summoning.

Name: Shunshin no Jutsu :: Body Flicker Technique
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Varies
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
This technique is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalize the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination. The different hidden villages have variations of the Body Flicker Technique, all of which involve some extra element aside from the movement itself. The extra element is usually some sort of substance used to distract the opponent, such as leaves or sand.

Name: Kami Shuriken :: Paper Shuriken
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Long
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
A technique that consists of pouring one's chakra into a scrap of paper in a split second, hardening and sharpening it, so it can be used as a shuriken. Its sharpness is equal to that of a shuriken made of metal. The user can further increase the power of the shuriken by making it into certain shapes.

Name: Kage Shuriken no Jutsu :: Shadow Shuriken Technique
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Long
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
It's a simple technique where two shuriken, like the Fūma Shuriken, are piled one onto another and thrown simultaneously. However, depending on the way it's used, it can prove its absolute efficiency. The trick is to somehow draw the enemy's attention towards the upper shuriken. Then, to deal with the path of the lower shuriken. If the enemy notices both shuriken, the technique ends up losing all of its efficiency.

Name: Kanashibari no Jutsu :: Temporary Paralysis Technique
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Mid
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
A technique for physical restraint, quite as if the opponent had been tied in invisible steel ropes. This is a basic ninjutsu usable even by genin, but its intensity will vary greatly according to the user's level. In addition, depending on the user, the technique can be cast on every target at once, and usually won't fail a shinobi during their missions. This debilitates the victim for a short period of time, which allows the user to either strike again or, in some cases, take the target into custody. This can be countered with a specific amount of chakra flow through the target's body. This can also be undone by an ally.

Name: Kawarimi no Jutsu :: Body Replacement Technique
Rank: E
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
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, the moment an attack hits. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. The user can then use this confusion to escape or launch a counter-attack. Exploding tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise.

Name: Kakuremino no Jutsu :: Cloak of Invisibility Technique
Rank: E
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
This technique allows a ninja to take a cloak or a piece of cloth and blend into an object, making them invisible.

Name: Bunshin no Jutsu :: Clone Technique
Rank: E
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
This technique creates intangible copies of the user. The clones are simply illusions and will dissipate when they come into contact with something. These illusions however have been shown to be easily distinguishable by persons with ocular jutsu. A person with normal eyes can also distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones do not have shadows and will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (i.e. won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.).

Name: Nawanuke no Jutsu :: Rope Escape Technique
Rank: E
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
A basic technique taught at the Academy. It allows a ninja to free themselves using chakra if they have been tied up.

Name: Henge no Jutsu :: Transformation Technique
Rank: E
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Non-elemental
Description:
This jutsu allows the user to transform either themselves or another object into the appearance of another person, animal, or object. This is one of the basic jutsu taught at the Shinobi Academy, and most Shinobi know this jutsu. The transformation technique is considered to be among the more difficult E-ranked techniques, since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form. On top of that, the user would be, most likely, interacting with the environment. This puts mental strain on an inexperienced ninja. Thus the best way to determine if it is indeed a transformation is to cause this strain upon the user; though this is of course not always successful.
