Jutsu techniques, Naruto battle style and types.
Naruto chakra nature transformations and more.

Naruto fan facts. Did you know? That:

• Before the ninetails killed Naruto’s parents, his mother wanted her best friend’s son to be friends with Naruto. It was Sasuke’s mother.
• Neji’s fighting style comes from the Baguazhang, a Chinese martial art, meaning Eight Trigram Palm.
• Rock Lee’s character greatly resembles Bruce Lee. Additionally, Bruce Lee once received the same type of injury as Rock Lee did in the Chunin Exams against Gaara, and he was also never expected to walk, much less fight again.
• Tenten’s fashion and fighting style stereotypes the Chinese theme.
• Ino-Shika-Cho is a winning combination in Hanafuda (Flower Cards), a japanese card game played with special cards.
• In episode 1, when Sasuke and Naruto kissed, Naruto didn’t have his whiskers!!!
• In episode 1, Naruto painted all the carvings, but not Minato’s.
• Uchiha Sasuke was named after Sarutobi Sasuke. In the Naruto World, Sarutobi Sasuke was Sandaime Hokage’s (Sarutobi Hiruzen) father. Sasuke’s mother named him ‘Sasuke’ hoping that someday he would become a great ninja just like Sandaime Hokage’s father. In the real world, Sarutobi Sasuke was a famous ninja in Japanese Folklore. He is generally believed to be a Meiji period fictional creation based on the historical ninja Kozuki Sasuke.
• Jiraiya (児雷也 – literally “Young Thunder”), the title character of the Japanese folktale Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari (児雷也豪傑物語, “The Tale of the Gallant Jiraiya”), is a ninja who uses shapeshifting magic  to morph into a gigantic toad . The heir of a powerful clan in Kyūshū of the same name, Jiraiya fell in love with Tsunade , a beautiful young princess who masters slug  magic. His arch-enemy was his one-time follower, Orochimaru , who mastered snake  magic. (All this, is in Naruto and it is just a folklore of japan, the most simple version of the tale of the gallant jiraiya.
• Suigetsu (meaning “water moon”) is a poetic term for the moon reflecting on the surface of the water. As an extension of this, the word can also refer to something illusory, without true substance; perhaps referring to Suigetsu’s ability to turn his body into water.

Names and meanings, a small example:

• Kakashi Hatake: Scarecrow field
• Sakura Haruno: Cherry Blossoms of Spring
• Kurenai: Deep Red (see her eyes)
• Hinata: Sunny Place, Let the sun shine
• Konohamaru: Leaf + Male suffix, he has explained it himself.
• Tsunade: Mooring Rope, also Tsu: steal, Na: indicates emotion or emphasis, De: rising of the moon or sun.
• Iruka: Dolphin
• Uzumaki: whirlpool
• Kiba means fang and akamaru means red. Kiba’s mom is Tsume, meaning talon and her ninken is kuromaru, meaning black. Kiba’s sister is Hana, meaning nose, and her ninken are Haimaru Sankyodai, the grey triplets.
• Naruto: fishcakes, just like the ramen he loves.

Here is some Japanese mythology that connects to Naruto:

Izanagi is a deity born of the seven divine generations  and is also referred to in the roughly translated Kojiki as “male-who-invites” or Izanagi-no-mikoto (“Lord Izanagi”). It is also pronounced Izanagi-no-Okami (“The God Izanagi”).
Izanami-no-Mikoto, meaning “she who invites”, is a goddess of both creation and death, as well as the former wife of the god Izanagi-no-Mikoto. She is also referred to as Izanami-no-kami.

After Izanami’s death, Izanagi went to the Underworld to take her back, but it was already too late. After getting out, in the cleansing rite he begot Amaterasu (the sun goddess) from his left eye, Tsukuyomi (the moon god) from his right eye and Susanoo (tempest or storm god) from his nose.

Susanoo slayed the the eight-headed serpent Yamata no Orochi.

So let’s see: In Naruto series the Uchiha clan can use Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi and Susanoo. Also two very powerfull jutsu were revealed to us, Izanagi and Izanami.Finally Itachi is the one that defeated Orochimaru using Susanoo.

Every ninja can use his chakra different to have more and more power. By melding their chakra and use different ratios of the psysical and spiritual energy, new types of chakra can be formed. Every ninja has his own type of chakra, but they all have the capacity to create one more.
The basic chakra types are 5. Fire, Wind, Earth, Lighting, Water. Each type has its weakness and strenghts.
In addition to these Elements, there are some ninja that have the power to combine 2 types together to form a new one. A lof of ninja can use 2 Elements, but very few can use them simultaneously.

Chakra Control
A ninja to become stronger has to be able to control his chakra. By controlling chakra they can create new and powerfull jutsu.When creating a ninjutsu, the two methods of manipulating chakra are referred to as Shape Transformation and Nature Transformation:

• Shape Transformation deals with controlling the form, movement, and potency of chakra.
• Nature Transformation usually deals with changing the physical properties of chakra into an element. There is also the Nature Transformation of Yin and Yang, which deals with changing the ratio of spiritual and physical energies within chakra.
  These two methods can be implemented separately or together in order to create a technique.

 Shape Control
A lof ot techniques take a certain shape and it is controlled from one hand to another. For example Naruto uses the jutsu rasengan.

Elemental Chakra
The five main elemental types are also the names for the Five Great Shinobi Nations: Fire, Wind, Lighting, Earth, Water.
The amount of chakra and the element a ninja employs is different based on which ninjutsu he uses.

Other types of Chakra
Tailed Beast Chakra: The demonic chakra of the 9-tailed-beasts.
Senjutsu Chakra: Sage mode, balance of the psysical, spiritual and nature energy that boosts every aspect of a ninja.
Star Chakra: Ninja from Hoshikagure manipulate their chakra into a wide variety of jutsu at the cost of damage to their bodies.
Gift of the Hermit Group: Is a special kind of chakra used by the ninja monks of the Fire Temple.
Dark chakra:  Is a special chakra formed from the negative emotions of the heart.
Priestess chakra: A chakra that has a bright and unique aspect.

Basic types and a few words

• Fire (Hi) natured chakra allows for Fire Release (Katon), which is strong against Wind but weak against Water.
• Wind (Kaze) natured chakra allows for Wind Release (Fūton), which is strong against Lightning but weak against Fire.
• Lightning (Kaminari) natured chakra allows for Lightning Release (Raiton), which is strong against Earth but weak against Wind.
• Earth (Tsuchi) natured chakra allows for Earth Release (Doton), which is strong against Water but weak against Lightning.
• Water (Mizu) natured chakra allows for Water Release (Suiton), which is strong against Fire but weak against Earth.

Counterbalancing
It is a principle of the relationships between chakra natures. It says that when 2 ninjutsu of the same nature collide and they have the same amount of chakra in them, then the 2 ninjutsu cancel each other. But if one has more chakra than the other then it can cuts through. Also the stronger jutsu absorbs the weak jutsu and becomes a lot stronger.

Affinity
Every shinobi (ninja) has an affinity to one type of chakra. To find out which one, they use a special paper from a special tree (grown and fed with chakra).

When they pass chakra through the paper then it reacts:
If a shinobi possess,

• Fire: the paper will ignite and turn to ash.
• Wind: the paper will split in two.
• Lightning: the paper will wrinkle.
• Earth: the paper will turn to dirt and crumble away.
• Water: the paper will become wet/damp.

 Advanced types
Simultaneously use of 2 basic types.

The Ice (Kōri) nature: Water and Wind natures.
The Wood (Ki) nature: Earth and Water natures.
The Lava (Yōgan) nature: Fire and Earth natures.
The Blaze (Honō) nature: It is unknown what this nature entails.
The Storm (Arashi) nature: Lightning and Water natures.
The Boil (Futtō) nature: Water and Fire natures.
The Dust (Chiri) nature: Fire, Earth and Wind natures.
The Explosion (Bakuhatsu) nature: It is unknown what this nature entails.
The Scorching Heat (Shakunetsu) nature: Fire and Wind natures.
The Magnetism (Jiryoku) nature: It is unknown what this nature entails.

Combining Nature and Shape transformation
Rasengan is a Shape transformation but it can become stronger when naruto uses his wind style.
So shinobi are able to combine the nature and shape of chakra to release more powerfull jutsu.
Example: Rasengan, Wind release-Rasengan

Yin and Yang
Yin Yang is the sixth type of chakra. It is a non-elemental chakra type. Yin is the the basis of imagination and spiritual energy and Yang is the the basis of vitality and physical energy. The transformation of the Yin and Yang seemingly has to do with altering the amounts of and balance between spiritual and physical energy in chakra.

Here is one episode of Naruto Shippuuden that can be used as a Guide. Watch it carefully.

Jutsu (techniques), they are the skills that ninja use to battle. In order to use a jutsu they have to meld their chakra (it is the combination of their spiritual and psysical energy). The result depends on the way they use it. They can extract chakra from their feet to climb a tree, boost their jump, walk on the water, or even boost the destructive power of a weapon. but the real image of jutsu is revealed when hand seals are used. Depending on the seals that are used and their order a different effect (jutsu) is created.

HAND SEALS

Jutsu Ranks based on power:

• E-rank – Learned by Academy students. Are the basic and most fundamental techniques for all ninja.
• D-rank – Genin-level techniques. Can be achieved by all genin, though many ninja only learn their “type” of technique.
• C-rank – Chūnin-level techniques.
• B-rank – Jōnin-level techniques. Require high levels of chakra to use.
• A-rank – Kage or jōnin-level techniques. Require great control over one’s chakra and may be forbidden.
• S-rank – Secret, extreme level techniques. Are typically unique to a single user.
• Kekkei Genkai, unique abilities and Tailed Beast Skills don’t have a rank.
  

But the ways of using chakra are many, and jutsu can be assorted like this:

• Ninjutsu: (ninja techniques) every technique that uses chakra and hand seals.
• Taijutsu: (body techniques) no hand seals, but chakra can boost the psysical power, hand to hand combat.
• Genjutsu: (illusion techniques) uses chakra and hand seals, but it doesn’t attack like a ninjutsu does, causes pain from trauma because the body is led to believe it is in pain.

Sub Jutsu (Other types of jutsu)

• Barrier Ninjutsu: Barrier Ninja Techniques
• Bukijutsu: Weapon Techniques
  
• Chakra Absorption Techniques: Allow the user to absorb another individual’s chakra
• Chakra Flow: Flowing of chakra through an object
• Clone Techniques: Create a copy of the user or objects
• Collaboration Techniques Teleportation Techniques: Synchronised or combination techniques
• Fūinjutsu: Sealing Techniques
• Hiden: Secret techniques
• Juinjutsu: Cursed Seal Techniques
• Kenjutsu: Sword Technique
• Kinjutsu: Forbidden Techniques
• Medical Ninjutsu: Medical Ninja Techniques
• Nintaijutsu: Ninja Body Techniques
• Reincarnation Ninjutsu: Life Transfer Ninja Techniques” or “Reincarnation Ninja Techniques
• Senjutsu: Sense and then gather the natural energy
• Shurikenjutsu: Sword hidden in the hand techniques
• Space–Time Ninjutsu: Teleportation Techniques
• Tailed Beast Skill

Blood Limit Types

• Kekkei Genkai: (a technique limited to inheritance by blood” or “Bloodline Limit”) Those are abilities passed down genetically within specific clans. It’s possible for a ninja to have more than one of these abilities. Bloodline that uses eye power is called Dojutsu.
• Kekkei Tota: (Bloodline Selection) A very rare technique that uses the combination of 3 or more nature transformations.
• Dojutsu: (Eye techniques) Are genetic ninja abilities that utilise the eyes, granting the wielder ocular abilities. They don’t require hand seals.

Next article will be explaining the nature of chakra, chakra flow, chakra gates, chakra nature transformations.

The clockwise direction shows what particular element is strong against.

Summary of season one and two, ”Naruto” , ”Naruto Shippuuden”

Naruto is a young boy who wants to be acknowledged and has vowed that he would, one day, become the best Hokage (Leader of the Village). The plot is followed by a story: Twelve years ago a nine-tailed Demon Fox attacked the village (Konoha) and killed many villagers, skilled ninja and destroyed much of the village. The Fourth Hokage used a very strong jutsu (skill, technique) and sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails into a newborn, Naruto Uzumaki. In his childhood, naruto was ostracized by the villagers because they regarded him as the Nine-Tails itself. Even though the Third Hokage, who was in charge, outlawed speaking about anything related to the Nine-Tails, the children inherited the same feelings towards naruto, hate and fear.

So the adventure of Naruto starts at the academy, where he achieves the first title of a ninja and becomes a Genin. Of course that happened after a lot of struggles and fights, where he learned a jutsu from a forbidden scroll, the Shadow Clone Jutsu (Kage Bunshin no Jutsu). After graduation Naruto was assigned in team 7, along with Sakura and Sasuke. Naruto had a crush on Sakura and Sasuke was his ”rival”, a very talented kid, the only survivor (except of his older brother Itachi, who is a rogue ninja) of the Uchiha clan who possessed Sharingan. The sensei (leader/teacher) of team 7 was Kakashi Hatake. As team 7 they were assigned to many missions and they participated in a ninja exam that gives them the opportunity to get higher ninja ranking. During the exams Orochimaru attacked the village and killed the Third Hokage. After that Jiraya (one of the three legendary ninja) went for a journey to find Tsunade to make her the Fifth Hokage that needed Konoha. During the journey they discovered that Orochimaru wanted Sasuke to get his powers, and eventually Sasuke followed him because he thought he could become stronger and take revenge by killing brother. Naruto and his friends tried hard to take him back, but they were too weak. So Naruto decided to leave Konoha and follow jiraya, with whom he trained for two and a half years.

After Naruto returned from his training, a new organisation made his appearance. The Akatsuki, which wanted all the ‘tailed beasts’ that were inside of people, just like Naruto. Itachi was a member of Akatsuki too. They took 7 of the beasts and all their hosts died in the process except of Gaara, who was the host of the One-Tailed beast, thanks to Naruto and his comrades who saved him. Itachi died in his battle with Sasuke and after that he was told by the Akatsuki founder and leader Tobi that Itachi was ordered by Konoha’s leadership to destroy his clan to which he agrees with the condition of allowing Sasuke to be spared. Thus, Sasuke joins forces with Akatsuki to kill Konoha’s superiors who ordered the Uchihas’ elimination and destroy Konoha in revenge.

The Konoha ninja killed a lot of Akatsuki members but the strongest one, Pain invaded Konoha to capture Naruto. However Naruto won him, became a hero and convinced to abandon Akatsuki. With Pain’s eventual death, Tobi, announced that he wanted to obtain all nine of the “tailed beasts” in order to perform an illusion powerful enough to control all of humanity. The leaders of the five ninja villages joined forces to defend against Tobi and his allies. This resulted in a fourth ninja world war between the unified armies of the Five Great Countries (known as the “Ninja Alliance Army”) and Akatsuki’s forces. During the conflict, it is revealed that Tobi is actually Obito Uchiha, Kakashi’s former teammate who was supposed to be dead, but he was saved by the real Madara Uchiha and has been working with him ever since. When Sasuke learned the true faces of his ”allies” he decided to come back to Konoha, protect it and help his friends to confront the enemy.
