A

Armor of Sand
Name: Suna no Yoroi, 砂の鎧, literally "Armor of Sand" or "Sand Armor"
Type: No rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Gaara
Using this jutsu, Gaara can cover himself in a compacted layer of sand, providing an additional defense should his Shield of Sand fail. Though quite effective, maintaining the armor requires a large amount of chakra and stamina.


Armor of Sticky Gold
Name: Nenkin no Yoroi, 粘金の鎧, literally "Armor of Sticky Gold"
Type: Hiden, No rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Kidomaru
By excreting his Sticky Gold from his pores, Kidomaru can quickly create a temporary armor that once exposed to oxygen, is capable of blocking chakra.


B

Beast Human Clone

Kiba and Akamaru perform the Beast Human CloneName: Jūjin Bunshin, 獣人分身, literally "Beast Human Clone", English TV "Man Beast Clone"
Type: D-rank, Supplementary
Users: Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru together
A modified version of a transformation technique, this jutsu allows a user to transform their animal companion into a perfect copy of themselves. When combined with the Four Legs Technique, the user and the animal become virtually impossible to tell apart, since both act equally animalistic. Like any transformation, the jutsu can be broken by identifying and attacking the animal, thus dispelling the transformation. This jutsu is often followed by the Double Piercing Fang.


Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot
Name: Kurohigi Kiki Ippatsu, 黒秘技機々一発, literally "Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot"
Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Kankuro
To perform this jutsu, Kankuro's opponent must be trapped in the torso of Kuroari. After this is accomplished, Karasu separates into about eight components, each with a sharp blade. Kankuro guides the separate pieces into slits in Kuroari's torso, impaling the victim inside. The name of this secret technique is a play on a popular Japanese toy "Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu" [1], known in America as "Pop-Up Pirate," in which the goal of the toy is to stick little plastic swords into a barrel to make the pirate in the center jump out. In the second Naruto movie, Kuroari can do this technique alone using Black Secret Technique Machine Two Shot.


Body Flicker Technique
Name: Shunshin no Jutsu, 瞬身の術, literally "Body Flicker Technique"
Type: D-rank, Supplementary
Users: Most, if not all ninja above Genin level
This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short 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 boost the user's reflexes. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance between the user and their intended destination. Shisui Uchiha, one of the most talented Uchiha, was feared as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" (瞬身のシスイ, Shunshin no Shisui?) , likely referring to this technique.

The Body Flicker technique has various variations among the different hidden villages, 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. Gaara, for instance, uses the "Sand Body Flicker" (砂瞬身, Suna-Shunshin?), which uses sand to cover his movements. Other varieties include the "Mist Body Flicker" (霧瞬身, Kiri-Shunshin?), "Water Body Flicker" (水瞬身, Mizu-Shunshin?), and "Leaf Body Flicker" (木ノ葉瞬身, Konoha-Shunshin?).


Body Replacement Technique
Name: Kawarimi no Jutsu, 変わり身の術, literally "Body Replacement Technique", "Change of Body Technique", "Change of Stance Technique", or "Replacement Technique", English TV "Replacement Jutsu" or "Substitution Jutsu"
Type: E-rank, Supplementary
Users: All Ninja Academy graduates
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, leaving the opponent open to a counter-attack. Explosive tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise. Fundamentally, all ninja know this technique.

The anime has a number of other objects being used for this jutsu, such as a boulder, mud, a scarecrow, and even a large rolled-up carpet. These items are usually nowhere in sight, suggesting that they are merely gags meant to lighten up the situation and not an actual part of the jutsu. Additionally, the normal practice of switching places with a section of log is done in several places that have no such thing anywhere nearby.

This technique is sometimes referred to as the Art of Projection ("Utsusemi no Jutsu" wink in other manga and anime series.


Bug Clone Technique
Name: Mushi Bunshin no Jutsu, 蟲分身の術, literally "Bug Clone Technique" or "Bug Replication Technique"
Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary
Users: Shino Aburame
Using the Kikaichu bugs living in their body, the user can create a copy of themselves or anyone else they choose. The clone falls apart into its component bugs when struck. Because they're made of bugs, the clones can reform almost instantly.


C

Chakra Absorption Technique
Name: Chakra Kyūin Jutsu, チャクラ吸引術, literally "Chakra Absorption Technique"
Type: Unknown
Users: Yoroi Akado, Jirobo
This jutsu allows the user to absorb the physical and spiritual energy of an opponent. The user doesn't have to actually touch the opponent, since it is also possible to use it through other media, as Jirobo did with his Earth Release Barrier: Dungeon Chamber of Nothingness. The only necessary condition is some medium through which chakra can be channeled.

The Chakra Absorption Technique is not truly considered a jutsu since it has never been given an entry in any of the databooks, but more of a special ability; however, it is not considered a kekkei genkai ability, either.


Cloak of Invisibility Technique
Name: Kakuremino no Jutsu, 隠れ蓑の術, literally "Cloak of Invisibility Technique", English (Card Game) "Disguise Jutsu"
Type: E-rank, Supplementary
Users: All Ninja Academy graduates
This jutsu allows a ninja to take a cloak or a piece of cloth and blend into an object, making them invisible. Konohamaru uses this technique constantly in the beginning of the Naruto series to try and fool Naruto Uzumaki, but uses poor disguises (square rocks with eyeholes, cloaks that are incorrectly patterned or the wrong way round, or simply not covering himself completely), thus betraying the illusion. In the anime, Naruto has been somewhat practical at using this jutsu a couple of times.


Clone Great Explosion
Name: Bunshin Daibakuha, 分身大爆破, literally "Clone Great Explosion"
Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Itachi Uchiha
This jutsu works in combination with the Shadow Clone Technique to create a shadow clone that will explode on command. The blast created is considerable, and could potentially kill an attacker engaged in hand-to-hand combat.


Clone Technique
Name: Bunshin no Jutsu, 分身の術, literally "Clone Technique", English TV "Clone Jutsu", UK DVD "Art of Body Splitting"
Type: E-rank, Supplementary
Users: All Ninja Academy graduates
This technique creates intangible clones of the user. The clones are simply illusions and will dissipate when they come into contact with something. The illusions can be seen through by the Byakugan and the Sharingan. A person with normal eyes can also distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.).


Combination Transformation
Name: Konbi Henge, コンビ変化, literally "Combination Transformation"
Type: B-rank, Supplementary
Users: Naruto Uzumaki, Gamabunta, Sound Four, Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru
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. Naruto uses this with Gamabunta in their fight against Gaara's full Shukaku form to become a giant fox. Kiba and Akamaru use a variation of this technique in their fight against Sakon and Ukon, transforming themselves into a giant two-headed wolf. The Sound Four used this during the Chunin Exam to disguise themselves as the Kazekage's two bodyguard attendants (two in each).


Creation Rebirth
Name: Sōzō Saisei, 創造再生, literally "Creation Rebirth" or "Creation Regeneration" (a.k.a. "Genesis Rebirth" wink
Type: S-rank, Supplementary
Users: Tsunade
By releasing chakra that has been stored up for a relatively long period of time in the seal on her forehead with Shadow Seal: Release, Tsunade is able to heal all her wounds almost instantaneously, regardless of the severity of the injuries. She can even regrow lost organs and limbs if necessary. Additionally, she continues to heal at an accelerated rate for the duration of the jutsu. Unfortunately, this technique has a drawback; using it speeds up cell division, and it shortens her life span.


D

Dead Soul Technique
Name: Shikon no Jutsu, 死魂の術, literally "Dead Soul Technique", English TV "Dead Soul Jutsu"
Type: B-rank, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Kabuto Yakushi
Using this jutsu, a person can temporarily reanimate a corpse, creating the illusion of a living person. This is achieved by causing the heart to beat once more, allowing the user to control the corpse. The reanimated corpse can serve as either a short-time ally or an effective decoy.


Desert Coffin
Name: Sabaku Kyū, 砂縛柩, literally "Desert Coffin", Viz "The Coffin of Crushing Sand", English TV "Sand Coffin"
Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Gaara
This jutsu uses sand to grab the opponent and cover their entire body. This skill is primarily utilized for rendering an opponent immobile, but can kill the opponent by suffocation or by being followed with the Desert Funeral, which crushes them.

It should be noted that Gaara crushed Rock Lee's left arm and leg during their battle in the Chunin Exams, and crushed Deidara's arm in the Rescue Gaara Arc, with just Desert Coffin, implying that Desert Coffin itself has its own crushing effect. However, Gaara makes the hand motion that he typically makes when using Desert Funeral in this particular instance.


Desert Funeral
Name: Sabaku Sōsō, 砂漠送葬, literally "Desert Funeral" (a.k.a. "Desert Graveyard" wink , Viz "Imploding Sand Funeral", English TV "Sand Burial"
Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Gaara
After wrapping an opponent with sand, Gaara will cause the sand to implode and crush whatever is within. When used to kill a person, the death is so quick that there isn't even time to feel pain. The pressure also produces a sizable fountain of blood. Gaara can control the pressure used in the attack, which allows him to merely break bones or completely liquefy an opponent.


Desert Imperial Funeral
Name: Sabaku Taisō, 砂漠大葬, literally "Desert Imperial Funeral"
Type: No rank, Offensive, All ranges
Users: Gaara
Following the Quicksand in the Style of a Waterfall, Gaara slams both hands palm down into the sand, creating powerful shockwaves that compress the sand. Anything buried in the sand is subsequently crushed.


Desert Prison
Name: Sabaku Rō, 砂漠牢, literally "Desert Prison"
Type: Unknown
Users: Gaara
This jutsu is a massive version of Gaara's Desert Coffin, using an entire desert's worth of sand to trap an opponent.


Desert Suspension
Name: Sabaku Fuyū, 砂漠浮遊, literally "Desert Suspension"
Type: No rank, Supplementary
Users: Gaara
Using his sand as a platform, Gaara is able to float in the air.


Destruction Bug Host Technique
Name: Kikaichū no Jutsu, 寄壊蟲の術, literally "Destruction Bug Host Technique" English TV "Parasitic Insects Jutsu"
Type: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary, All ranges
Users: Aburame clan
The Aburame clan is famed for their use of insects in their jutsu. When a child is born, their body is offered to insects, called destruction bugs, as a nest. The bugs feed and live off the chakra that the body stores and in return the ninja gets to control and command the bugs, using them as their primary fighting technique. These bugs have the ability to drain chakra through physical contact with the enemy.


Drowning Maelstrom Technique
Name: Kufū Suika no Jutsu, 颶風水渦の術, literally "Drowning Maelstrom Technique"
Type: Unknown
Users: Naruto Uzumaki and Yamato together
This jutsu combines Yamato's Water Release: Rapid Crasher with Naruto's Wind Release: Spiraling Sphere to create a powerful waterspout.


E

Earth Release Barrier: Dungeon Chamber of Nothingness
Name: Doton Kekkai: Dorōdōmu, 土遁結界・土牢堂無, literally "Earth Release Barrier: Dungeon Chamber of Nothingness"
Type: B-rank, Offensive, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Jirobo
This jutsu traps the victims inside a self-repairing dome of earth. Jirobo is able to absorb the chakra of anyone trapped inside, something he enjoys greatly. Jirobo's chakra is distributed throughout the dome, but not equally. Near the back (relative to him), less chakra is present, making the dome weaker in that spot.


Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart
Name: Doton: Doryū Jōheki, 土遁・土流城壁, literally "Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart"
Type: Unknown
Users: Yamato
This jutsu raises a large ridge or hill from the ground. Yamato uses this technique along with Water Release: Waterfall Basin Technique while demonstrating elemental chakra types to Naruto, creating a waterfall as an example.


Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling
Name: Doton: Doryū Dango, 土遁・土陵団子, literally "Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Dango"
Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Jirobo
Jirobo is able to overturn the earth into a large dumpling-shaped chunk of earth the size of a mausoleum. Using his immense strength, he can lift up the ball and hurl it at his opponent, flattening everything in its path.


Earth Release: Earth Shore Return
Name: Doton: Doroku Gaeshi, 土遁・土陸返し, literally "Earth Release: Earth Shore Return"
Type: C-rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Jirobo
After striking the ground with his hands, Jirobo creates a large wall of earth that rises into place as defense. The defense is not perfect though, since a hard or drilling impact can puncture the wall.


Earth Release: Earth Style Wall
Name: Doton: Doryūheki, 土遁・土流壁, literally "Earth Release: Earth Style Wall", English TV "Earth Style: Mud Wall Jutsu"
Type: B-rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Third Hokage
The user spits out a stream of mud that quickly grows and solidifies into a strong, protective wall.


Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Technique
Name: Doton: Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu, 土遁・心中斬首の術, literally "Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Technique", Viz "Earth Style: Groundhog Technique Decapitation", English TV "Earth Style: Headhunter Jutsu"
Type: D-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Kakashi Hatake, Third Hokage, Oki
The user, emerging from the ground below the target area, pulls down the opponent so that only their head is above ground.


Earth Release: Rock Lodging Destruction
Name: Doton: Iwayado Kuzushi, 土遁・岩宿崩し, literally "Earth Release: Rock Lodging Destruction"
Type: B-rank, Offensive, All ranges
Users: Kakko
This jutsu dislodges rocks above an opponent to crush them.


Earth Release: Split Earth Turn Around Palm
Name: Doton: Retsudotenshō, 土遁・裂土転掌, literally "Earth Release: Split Earth Turn Around Palm"
Type: C-rank, Offensive, All ranges
Users: Iwagakure ninja
This technique causes the ground surrounding the enemy to spiral inwards on itself, burying them alive or crushing them.


Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld
Name: Doton: Yomi Numa, 土遁・黄泉沼, literally "Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld", English "Earth Style: Dark Swamp"
Type: A-rank, Offensive, All ranges
Users: Jiraiya
This jutsu turns a large area of land into a sinking swampland, making it impossible for anyone or anything in that area to move around. The size of the swamp is proportionate to the amount of chakra used to perform the technique. When performed by a drugged Jiraiya, this technique only created a large, semi-deep swamp that merely inhibited the movement of the snakes it was targeting. When performed properly, it is supposed to engulf the target completely.


Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique
Name: Doton: Dochū Eigyo no Jutsu, 土遁・土中映魚の術, literally "Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique", English "Earth Style: Underground Move Jutsu" English games "Underground Reflecting Fist Jutsu"

Users: Kagari, Oboro, Mubi, Kagero
Using this jutsu, a person can hide underground until they're ready to attack an opponent.


Exploding Tag: Activate
Name: Jibaku Fuda: Kassei, 自爆札・活, literally "Exploding Tag: Activate"
Type: Unknown
Users: All Ninja Academy graduates
Utilizing chakra, the user is able to activate the explosion mechanism of a distant bomb tag. The exploding tags that the Third Hokage used were different than the usual bomb tags, being yellow in color instead of white with a red border.


F

Feigning Sleep Technique
Name: Tanuki Neiri no Jutsu, 狸寝入りの術, literally "Feigning Sleep Technique" (a.k.a. "Tanuki Sleep Technique" wink , English TV "Play Possum Jutsu"
Type: No rank, Supplementary
Users: Gaara
Once Gaara assumes his full Shukaku form, he can use this jutsu to put himself to sleep, allowing Shukaku's spirit to take over.


Fire Release: Ash Product Burning
Name: Katon: Haisekishō, 火遁・灰積焼, literally "Fire Release: Ash Product Burning"
Type: Unknown
Users: Asuma Sarutobi
Unlike other fire-based jutsu, this jutsu allows the user to breathe out a cloud of superheated ash capable of causing third-degree burns. Because it is ash and not flame, the ash remains in the air around the target, and therefore remains potent for a longer period.


Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique
Name: Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu, 火遁・龍火の術, literally "Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique", English TV "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu"
Type: C-rank, Offensive, Mid-range (5-10m)
Users: Sasuke Uchiha, Anko Mitarashi
The user breathes fire along a cord or any other type of long object. While the technique is shown in the anime to be even larger and more devastating than Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, in the manga it is shown to be nothing more than a small burst of flame running along a line of wire.


Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Missile
Name: Katon: Karyū Endan, 火遁・火龍炎弾, literally "Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Missile", English TV "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Bomb"
Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Third Hokage
This technique exhales a long stream of incredibly hot fire from the user's mouth, not unlike that of a flamethrower.


Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
Name: Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu, 火遁・豪火球の術, literally "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique", Viz "Fire Style: Blaze Of Glory", English TV "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu"
Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Most Uchiha clan members, Jiraiya, Aoba Yamashiro, Oki, Kakashi Hatake
Utilizing a large amount of chakra, a large ball of flame is exhaled from the user's mouth. When an Uchiha clan member masters this technique, they are recognized as an adult. This technique also seems to be fairly common amongst Konoha's Chunin-level ninja.


Fire Release: Intense Pain
Name: Katon: Zukokku, 火遁・頭刻苦, literally "Fire Release: Intense Pain"
Type: Unknown
Users: Kakuzu's lion mask
After being released from Kakuzu's back, the lion mask can blow a massive blast of flame from its mouth which spreads quickly across the ground, devastating a wide area.


Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique
Name: Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu, 火遁・鳳仙火の術, literally "Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique", English TV "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu", Viz "Fire Style - Art of the Dragon's Breath, Phoenix Technique"
Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Sasuke Uchiha, Oki
This jutsu sends multiple balls of fire at a target. It is also possible to hide shurikens within the fireballs, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. For the most part, however, this jutsu is used as a distraction.


Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet
Name: Katon: Gamayu Endan, 火遁・蝦蟇油炎弾, literally "Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet", English "Fire Style: Toad Flame Bomb"
Type: B-rank, Offensive, All ranges
Users: Jiraiya or Naruto Uzumaki with Gamabunta
Gamabunta spits out a large amount of oil, which is then ignited by the user. Jiraiya uses Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique to ignite the oil while Naruto uses an exploding tag since he doesn't know any fire techniques. The sheer amount of oil Gamabunta is capable of spitting allows this jutsu to reach further and cover a much larger area than any other known fire jutsu.


Flapping One Thousand Birds
Name: Habataku Chidori, 羽撃く千鳥, literally "Flapping One Thousand Birds"
Type: Unknown
Users: Sasuke Uchiha
Using the power gained through the level 2 form of his Cursed Seal of Heaven, the One Thousand Birds that Sasuke Uchiha was taught to use as a "blade" to protect his comrades is warped into a dark version of itself that is used to sever his ties with them. In contrast to the usual chirping of birds that the One Thousand Birds is known for, this technique emits a noise much like that of a large number of birds taking flight. Its power far surpasses that of the normal One Thousand Birds.


Flying Thunder God Technique
Name: Hiraishin no Jutsu, 飛雷神の術, literally "Flying Thunder God Technique"
Type: S-rank, Supplementary, All ranges
Users: Fourth Hokage
This jutsu was created by the Fourth Hokage and the reason behind his nickname, "The Yellow Flash of Konoha" (木ノ葉の黄色い閃光, Konoha no Kīroi Senkō?). It allows the user to move over large distances with ultra-high speed. Although it is often compared with the Body Flicker Technique, the speed of this jutsu is much greater. In principle, it is similar to the Summoning Technique, but sends the user somewhere instead of bringing something to them. Additionally, it makes no noise and produces no puff of smoke, allowing the user to appear behind someone unnoticed.

To activate this jutsu, the user needs a special seal or "jutsu formula" (術式, jutsu-shiki?) to mark the destination. After this is done, the user can almost instantaneously transport himself to that location. The Fourth applied the formula in advance to weapons such as kunai. It is also possible to leave a formula in an area touched by the user.

This technique is the reason Konoha came out victorious in the Iwa-Konoha Ninja War. After having his subordinates toss marked kunai randomly into the enemy ranks, the Fourth used the technique to appear within their ranks and slaughter them one by one before they could even react.

The Japanese name Hiraishin is also the phonic of the Japanese word 避雷針, which means lightning rod.


Four Legs Technique
Name: Shikyaku no Jutsu, 四脚の術, literally "Four Legs Technique" (a.k.a. "Down on All Fours Technique" wink , English TV "All-Fours Jutsu"
Type: D-rank, Supplementary
Users: Kiba Inuzuka
This technique gives some increase of strength and speed to the user, as well as lengthening their nails into claws. Travel in this mode is somewhat akin to a dog's fast run. Users of this technique also tend to act more feral when using it.


G

Great Ball Spiraling Sphere
Name: Ōdama Rasengan, 大玉螺旋丸, literally "Great Ball Spiraling Sphere"
Type: Unknown
Users: Naruto Uzumaki
This is simply a larger and more powerful version of the Spiraling Sphere, but also more unstable. Naruto needs a clone to form and control the energy. Naruto uses this jutsu to defeat Yura disguised as Itachi Uchiha by way of the Shapeshifting Technique.
