Changes: Ninjutsu

Latest revision as of 22:24, 17 December 2023

Ninjutsu (忍術, English TV: Ninja Art, literally meaning: Ninja Techniques) is one of the three main jutsu categories. Ninjutsu is the most nebulous of the three, and may most simply be described as anything that is not genjutsu or taijutsu. Most ninjutsu require chakra and hand seals, but this is not always the case since the mere usage of weaponry qualifies as ninjutsu. The huge range of ninjutsu's uses is illustrated by its several sub-classifications: medical ninjutsu, reincarnation ninjutsu, space–time ninjutsu, barrier ninjutsu, sealing jutsu, cursed seal jutsu and sensory ninjutsu.

Most ninjutsu use shape transformation, which deals with controlling the form and movement of the ninjutsu, while nature transformation deals with changing the ninjutsu's physical properties. Ninjutsu that use nature transformation tend to follow a naming convention of their nature type followed by a more specific name. With practice and experience, certain ninjutsu can become second nature to a ninja, allowing them to perform it at will.

Background

Ninjutsu is humans' corrupted use of the Sage of Six Paths' ninshū originally created by his son, Indra;^[1] rather than use chakra to achieve understanding and create peace as the Sage intended, humans weaponised their chakra for war. Over time, shinobi came to believe that Hagoromo was the inventor of the ninjutsu rather than his eldest son.

Trivia

The simultaneous use of ninjutsu and taijutsu is called "nintaijutsu".
Jin no Sho describes Sage Art: Super Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken as "the most marvellous ninjutsu of all time".^[2]
Amado considers ninjutsu as attempts to reproduce the effects of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's shinjutsu.
- Kinshiki says the chakra pills are desired because they allow the user to perform supernatural or divine acts.^[3]

More complex ninjutsu manipulate one's surroundings or utilise the elements, respectively serving such tasks as [[Medical Ninjutsu|healing]] others or manipulating [[nature transformation]]s.

-Ninjutsu, most of the time, relies on [[chakra]] and [[hand seals]] to be effective. The hands are put in sequential positions that moulds and manipulates chakra in the necessary manner to perform a technique. This is not always needed, however, and some techniques become second nature to experienced ninja, after which they can perform them at will.

-It is said that the [[Sage of the Six Paths]] was the first to explain the mysteries of chakra, travelling throughout the world to spread his ideas and religion, the {{translation|Ninshū|忍宗|lit meaning=Shinobi Sect}}. The teachings were meant to give people a better understanding of themselves, as well as others, and lead the world into an era of peace. However, as time wore on, ninshū would eventually come to be known as ninjutsu, a more weaponised version of the Sage's teachings.
-It can be used in collaboration with [[taijutsu]] to create [[nintaijutsu]] techniques.
