Karin's Mind Eye of Kagura

Karin's sensory perception.

A sensor type (感知タイプ, kanchi taipu, literally meaning: perception type) is a ninja that is capable of detecting the presence of other people by directly sensing their chakra.

Overview

Kanchi

A depiction of a sensor-type shinobi sense of chakra.

A skilled sensor can detect their targets from a great distance, as well as differentiate the characters by their chakra signature alone.[1][2] They are even able to tell when other sensors are using their abilities.[3][4] Karin is able to tell exactly who is among a crowd of people and her sensory skills are such that she is even able to tell if her targets are lying based on any fluctuation of their chakra.[5] and Tobirama Senju can discern between chakra signatures of shinobi from different populations.[6][7] Nagato, another skilled sensor, was able to detect the exact location of the person controlling them despite that person erecting a barrier around themselves.[8] Members of the Yamanaka clan have even displayed a technique whereby sensory perception can be transferred to other non-sensors.

Insect Jamming technique

The Aburame's Insect Jamming Technique creating false images.

There are, however, methods that can hinder a sensors ability to detect individuals. Mū has mastered the Hiding with Camouflage Technique to such extent that he is able avoid detection by traditional sensory techniques, but can be sensed through other means such as contact type sensory techniques.[9] Karin is able to suppress her chakra though she herself cannot use her abilities while doing this.[3] The Aburame clan members can use their insects to create false chakra signals and confuse sensors.[10] The Mirage Genjutsu used by the Second Mizukage and his Giant Clam also prevents them from being sensed through traditional methods while in effect.[11] Zetsu is also able — through unknown means — to render himself undetectable.[12]

Sunanokanchi

Gaara's Sand Sensing — a contact type of sensing.

Throughout the series, various characters have commented on the 'feel' of a person's chakra and similar comments regarding the ability to sense high levels of chakra a little, leading to the possibility that chakra sensing is merely a more refined version of this by either teaching or being simply born more sensitive. Several other methods of sensing have also been displayed such as Gaara's Sand Sensing technique which is a contact type (接触タイプ, sesshoku taipu) sensory ability as well as Kidōmaru's Spider Web Area and Nagato's Rain Tiger at Will Technique.

According to Karin in the anime,[13] sensor types have different specialities depending on their villages: Konoha shinobi often use ninken with their smell and tracking sense. Karin's sensing abilities are derived from her Mind's Eye of the Kagura; it is unknown if other sensors also have a specific techniques to do so, or if it is just a general skill.

There are also other methods of sensing, Tobirama Senju and Minato Namikaze were able to detect enemy presence and numbers by simply touching the ground with their index finger.[14][15] Tobirama went as far as being able to tell that Orochimaru's new body was made almost entirely of Hashirama's DNA.[16] Gaara also possess a sensory ability which is tactile in nature: Sand Sensing which allows him to locate targets that his sand comes into contact with, even if they are invisible.

Trivia

  • Sages, who utilise natural energy, can also detect presence of people through their chakra, essentially making them sensors: in fact, the word senjutsu (仙術) uses the same hiragana: せんじゅつ, as the art of scrying (占術), an allusion to the abilities of Sages to sense persons while in Sage Mode.
  • Kisame Hoshigaki's blade, the Samehada, is attracted to intense chakra, allowing him to hunt down such individuals.[17]
  • After gaining control of the Nine-Tails' chakra, Naruto has displayed the Nine-Tails' ability to sense others' presence by detecting negative emotions, an ability Mito Uzumaki, a former jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails also had and something that Kisame stated other sensors cannot do.[18]
  • It should be noted that while in the anime Karin referred to persons using ninken as sensors,[13] this was not said in the manga.[19]
  • Sasuke claimed that Karin's ability to sense chakra is unlike that of anybody else.
  • In Naruto: Shippūden episode 226, the sensor type shinobi that was on the ship exhibited the ability to sense things that would generally fall out of the realm of sensors, such as being able to tell that they were far away from the depth charges being fired, seemingly sense air currents underwater as well as tell that there was a large subterranean hot spring underneath them.
