This technique lets the user condense mud or stone from the ground and shape it into spikes that protrude from the ground in order to skewer the target. The spikes cannot penetrate targets of greater density. In the anime, this technique can also produce a single spike, allowing it to be used as a makeshift knife.[1]

By flowing concentrated chakra from one's palms into the Dragon Veins (龍脈, Ryūmyaku) flowing underground, one can tear the earth apart, creating large chasms. The length, width, direction, and curve of the chasm are shaped and fashioned by the user. Manipulating the Dragon Veins requires fine chakra control, but if one has such skill, they can use this technique to divide the space between the enemy and their own team in two, destroy enemy camps or defences, and even to attack.


The user transforms the surface underneath their opponent into a muddy river that sweeps them off their feet and carries them down stream. This technique can also be used as a medium for the Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet technique.

After creating a mud source, the user creates a dragon-like head to shoot mud balls at an opponent. To be more threatening, the user can combine this technique with a fire technique to make the mud balls become searing hot.


Earth Release: Earth and Stone Bamboo Shoot

This technique condenses the soil and rock in the area to sprout out in the form of large spikes which attack the target from separate directions in an attempt to skewer the opponent, making it harder to evade.


A technique that causes the surrounding earth to rise up over a target, creating a cavern. The user can leave either leave an opening to allow attacks to enter through the exit, cutting off any way of the target to avoid the being hit or close it up completely to prevent escape.


Earth Release: Earth Crust Tearing Impact

The user gathers chakra in their fist and jumps into the air and punches down on the ground, causing it to burst up around the user.


The user slams their hands on the ground, generating a large amount of soil, which is launched and manipulated towards the opponent as a fast wave with crushing force.

This technique allows the user to take remote control over rocks, levitating and moving them around.


Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique

While lurking underground, the user grabs a target and drags them into the earth, leaving only their head above the surface. Because victims are rendered unable to move in this state, they are easily subjected to torture or decapitation. Such extreme measures are not required, however;[1] when Kakashi Hatake uses this on Sasuke Uchiha, it is only to restrain Sasuke. Sasuke is eventually able to free himself.[2]


This technique allows Hiruko to control stones and rocks in the area to attack the enemy, forming several enormous jaws made out of the earth that will swallow and crush the enemy.

Earth Release: Demonic Rock Spider Armour

Due being to empowered by Strengthening Prescription: Chakra Injection, Gitai creates an enhanced version of his Earth Release: Hardening Technique. Unlike the previous version, the user creates an armour of rock that encases their body with more demonic- looking, extended arms, that are darker in colour. The appearance of the user resembles the rock spider.


The user turns the ground around a target into deep mud, causing the target to sink into it until reaching their neck. The mud is very thick, making it difficult for the target to free themselves.

Mū creates a disk-shaped bog, which he throws at the opponent to knock them back.


The user flows earth-natured chakra through all or parts of their body, causing it to become noticeably darker, all while increasing their defensive power to become as hard as diamond. As such, this allows the user to easily be able to withstand most attacks with little to no damage,[3] with the exception of Lightning Release ninjutsu. Furthermore, the destructive power of physical attacks is increased,[4] making this a great all-purpose technique.


This technique causes the ground to explode at the users location, damaging and blowing away all opponents in range.


This technique causes the ground and everything on and around it to be sucked in towards the middle of a large pit, much like the method an antlion uses to catch prey. Upon being dragged to the centre, the victim will then be sucked underground. There the victim, depending on how deep the user makes them sink, will be trapped and/or suffocated. The range of the pit is determined by how much chakra is put into the technique. The antlion theme fits in with Kagerō's appearance, emphasising her large jaw in this form.


The Earth Release Resurrection Technique: Corpse Soil is a jutsu that reanimates the deceased using bodies made of dirt and soil. Kazuma described it as the ultimate Earth element resurrection technique.

Overview[]
By utilising soil in the local ground, the user can revive the fallen in one of two ways.
The first version allows the user to seemingly continuously resurrect a large number of slain people as zombies, but with none of their rationality, physical prowess, or techniques at their disposal. They are fairly easy to destroy. If the technique is deactivated either by the user's will or if the user is killed, the zombies will immediately turn to dust.
The second version allows the user to bring a person back as a perfect resurrection, able to use all their skills from when they were alive, with the addition of a preset directive the person is forced to obey despite being consciously aware. Unlike the Impure World Reincarnation technique, the soul is not bound to the body, hence those resurrected cannot heal themselves and can be killed. This method requires a large amount of energy (i.e. electricity). At any time, by performing a Snake hand seal and snapping their fingers, the caster of this technique releases the resurrected targets, turning them into loose soil.

Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome of Magnificent Nothingness

Ninjutsu, Chakra Absorption Techniques, Barrier Ninjutsu

The user creates a dome of earth around a target or targets, trapping them inside. The walls of the dome have chakra flowing within, which quickly repairs any damage that its prisoners may do to it. If the user remains in contact with the dome, they are able to absorb the chakra of those who are imprisoned, making them weaker over time; Jirōbō likes to do this in order to gain sustenance from his enemies.[1] Although the dome is difficult to escape from, it isn't impossible: the chakra within its walls isn't evenly distributed, being at its thinnest on the side of the dome opposite to where the user is standing. If the prisoners can ascertain where this weak spot is and then focus a sufficiently powerful attack on it, they will be able to break out.[2]


The user slams their palm onto the surface below their feet, making it move, akin to waves. This technique is said to require a considerable amount of chakra.

Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique

A technique which enhances the targets gravity at the user's discretion. The enemy's mobility is diminished, as the person is crushed by gravity — and in some cases exhibit petrification-like symptoms and then began to crumble.[2] Using a desert region to their advantage, the user can easily bury the enemy alive by submerging them in sand.[3] When this technique is applied to the user it decreases their speed, but the increased weight drastically improves their strength. This method makes it possible for even a weak person to land a devastating hit.


While spinning through the air, a ninken starts urinating, scattering the urine across a wide area. Any opponents that the urine sprays are likely to be confused, embarrassed,[1] and, if it gets in their eyes, temporarily blinded until they can flush it out.[2] More useful to the ninken and their Inuzuka partner is that they can easily track the urine's scent, allowing them to locate anyone who has been marked by the urine regardless of where they are or where they go.[1] This is an essential prerequisite for the Fang Wolf Fang, which makes users so fast that they can't see where they're going, necessitating that they locate targets by scent instead.[2] Akamaru is quite skilled with this technique, becoming very accurate through practice with Kiba Inuzuka.[3]


Itachi jumps over his opponent while balancing himself over the opponent's shoulder (allowing the user to dodge an attack should it happen). Once landing, still holding onto the opponent's shoulder, Itachi throws them over himself onto the ground.


This is a flying kick directed at an opponent, typically their face. The kick serves two simultaneous purposes: as a surprise attack,[1] for which reason the user may first throw a kunai to distract targets from the approaching kick;[2] as an act of self-sacrifice, with the user's exaggerated stance, confident expression, and the sheer inconceivableness of the attack combining to intimidate the opponent, in the process enhancing the kick's offensive potential. Because the kick's effectiveness very much relies on appearance, any faltering of resolve will weaken it: when Might Guy realizes mid-flight that he's attacking Jiraiya, an ally, his surprise causes his kick to do less damage than it otherwise would have.[1]

Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique is a Kekkei Tōta utilised by the Second and Third Tsuchikage.

Overview[]
The user uses Dust Release to create a structure, with a sphere located at its centre, between the palms of his hands. The structure expands rapidly in size when being propelled towards its intended target and traps them inside its confines. The sphere then seems to explode with a tremendous amount of force, while the exterior walls of the structure effectively restrict the size of the blast radius, resulting in the destruction of everything and anyone caught within as they are pulverised into minute particles of dust. The technique isn't limited to just affecting physical matter; it can also affect chakra-based defences, witnessed from Ōnoki's use of it to destroy Madara Uchiha's Susanoo.[2]

     Kakō's large variant.
The resulting damage that this technique can produce varies considerably, depending on the initial shape of the created structure. For example, when fabricated in the form of a cube, the structure possesses a relatively small blast radius, minimising the possibility for collateral damage. However, the conical version was implied to be enough to potentially destroy an entire island.[3] Additionally, it is possible to produce a much larger variant of the cube-shaped technique, which was large enough to destroy twenty-five Susanoo-clad wood clones in an instant. This cube can also be split into two after being activated, allowing for other techniques to be directed between the two halves.[4] When two similar techniques of approximately equal power collide, the pair merge into a single large spherical explosion; where everything caught within the substantial blast radius is completely pulverised.[5]
Kakō has shown he could fire off the cubical version of the technique one-handed, which allows him for a rapid-fire attack (albeit the cubes do not expand upon release).[6]

Shape Variants[]
This technique can be manipulated into a diverse selection of three-dimensional structures, including cones, cylinders and cubes, with each retaining a sphere located at their centres. The size and length of it is proportional to the amount of chakra put into it. According to Ōnoki, the differences in shape demonstrated by the users of this technique is reflective of the generational gap between them.[5]

Cubical variant.Drill (錐, Kiri)[7] variant.Cylinder (柱, Chū)[7] variant.

Gaara creates a sandstorm around himself that can strike multiple opponents, as well as protect him from harm.


This is a style of taijutsu that is only possible while the user is very drunk. Because they are intoxicated, users move irregularly and erratically: they attack with no warning and defend with unconventional motions. Users have no conscious awareness of what actions they'll take, which also means opponents can't predict what they'll do. In Rock Lee's case, he also becomes extremely belligerent while drunk, thereby adding to his opponent's confusion because of how polite he usually is.[1] According to Might Guy, the Drunken Fist cannot be learned, taught, nor refined through training and practice.[citation needed]
Lee is a natural prodigy of the Drunken Fist.[1] After drinking only a small amount of alcohol, his cheeks become red and he goes into a drunken rage, picking fights with friends and foes alike.[2] Since he's already very gifted with taijutsu, Lee is extremely destructive in his drunken state;[1] during his first drunk experience, he destroyed the restaurant where he was dining and even Guy struggled to subdue him.[2] Because of how easily Lee becomes drunk, he also sobers just as easily: when Kimimaro only scratches his face,[3] Lee returns to normal shortly afterwards. Lee seems to have no memory of his actions while drunk, or at least he can't understand his hangover.[4]
In the anime, Lee developed a variant called Seasickness Fist, where he makes use of nausea caused by seasickness to overcome the fact he can't drink alcohol.[5]


This technique allows the user to control multiple sections of rock and move them around their opponent. The user then forms two gigantic sections that crush the opponent.

This manoeuvre inflicts substantial damage upon the opponent.


Disturbance Taijutsu (攪乱体術, Kakuran Taijutsu) refers to Killer B's unique fighting style.

Usage[]
Akin to a warrior's dance performance, B is able to rapidly and relentlessly bombard his target, with precision, at various angles and locations. This style, comprised of sheer unpredictable movements, can easily catch his opponents off-guard. Even those who wield the Sharingan have shown to have had trouble keeping up with B's movements and were forced to go on the defensive or retreat.[2][3] B is also able to employ this technique against multiple of opponents, as shown in his fight with Taka.
Combining this fighting style's wild nature with swords, B is able to increase the lethality of his attacks. B, using any number of swords can easily close in on and exploit an opponent's vital points.[1] To maximise the style's killing potential, he could, in tandem with his seven Supervibrato Lightning Release Swords, make use of his unique and peculiar kenjutsu Acrobat.[1]

Dharma Power Sealing Technique: Sen no Rikyū

Ninjutsu, Fūinjutsu, Chakra Absorption Techniques

With the help of a musical instrument and a fūinjutsu formula on their chest, the user produces a stream of chakra that forms into many purple-coloured chains that are launched from the formula into the target. The chains move very fast, able to bypass Gaara's Shield of Sand, which is known for its speed. Once latched on to the target's body and chakra network, the chains will use the tenketsu located at the navel to reach their way to the tailed beast and constrict their neck, pulling the beast from the inside of the jinchūriki. The continued forceful use of the tenketsu for the extraction damages the jinchūriki's chakra network contributing to the targeted jinchūriki's immobilisation and causing them pain. Others who attempt to touch the chains will be struck with a powerful electrical shock. However, if another jinchūriki touches the chains, then their chakra will be drained for the duration of the physical contact.
The technique can be countered. Techniques that suppress chakra absorption such as a cocoon made up of a network of highly refined chakra threads can slow down the rate at which the chakra is drained. The chakra absorption can be stopped completely by closing the particular tenketsu the chains are using to extract the tailed beast.
There is a dangerous drawback to this technique, however. If the chains are removed before properly absorbing all the tailed beast chakra, they will turn on the nearest target with that chakra, with it being the caster, ultimately sealing them. Despite that, the seal can be broken if all tenketsu of the target are blocked, after which they will still be in need for immediate treatment.


A cooperation ninjutsu used by a Water Release user and Lightning Release user. The Water Release user creates a large puddle of water then, the Lightning Release user electrocutes the opponent, causing an explosion.


At some point, the user of this technique will set up an array of barrier tags, which are camouflaged by surroundings. If the target is not aware of the camouflaged tags, the presence of the target will ignite the trap automatically. Once activated, a dark red chakra sphere will form, trapping the target inside. Anyone caught in the trap as it activates will be compressed in its container, devoured, and crushed.
The trap was dispelled by Shikamaru via Shadow Sewing Technique before it could do so. When it is dispelled, it will be shattered like broken glass and disappear.


Mifune punches his opponent in the stomach, and while they're stunned, he strikes down with his sword in a guillotine motion.


This article is about information on the ability. For information on the character, see Yahiko.

The Deva Path (天道, Tendō) grants the user the ability to manipulate attractive and repulsive forces with objects and people. These techniques, however, cannot be performed in rapid succession; the amount of time required to recharge after use varies depending on the scale of the technique used, five seconds being the basic minimum. If used at high intensities, not only will it result in a long downtime, but it could potentially shorten the user's lifespan. The Deva Path also grants another ability: Chibaku Tensei which allows the user to create a huge makeshift terrestrial body from all the surrounding matter that is attracted to a black sphere released by this technique.
Though he used the powers of the Deva Path prior to being crippled, Nagato spent the remainder of his life channelling the power through the corpse of his deceased friend Yahiko, using him as the face of his Pain alias. In the anime, through Pain, Nagato demonstrated the ability to levitate in midair prior to levelling Konoha and during his battle against Naruto in his six-tailed state.

Influences[]
In Buddhism, the Deva realm is the realm of bliss. The Deva realm is sometimes also referred to as the "god's realm" because, compared to humans, its inhabitants are so powerful that they could be compared to deities. However, beings born into the Deva realm are still subject to reincarnation. Devas suffer from pride and the knowledge that their long lives and powers will not prevent their eventual rebirth.

Toad Smoke Technique


The caster uses their sand to create gigantic hands or claws, which can be used for multiple purposes including crushing, capturing or restraining enemies and other targets. The brilliance of this technique is in the strength and sheer size of the constructs which rivals that of a tailed beast. Once the arms lock onto its target, it is near impossible to break free, and one must resort to other methods. This technique was powerful enough to completely halt the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's chains.
Shinki’s usage of this technique incorporates Iron Sand, which he uses to surround his hand to strengthen his punches,[2] or attach to more Iron Sand to act as arms, that can deliver a barrage of punches.[3]


Gaara uses sand to create a platform capable of supporting his weight, which he keeps suspended in the air with his chakra. One of the simpler purposes for this technique is as a defence, lifting Gaara out of reach of attacks.[1] While airborne, Gaara can still use his other techniques, such as forming his Shield of Sand around the platform for additional protection.[3] This technique can also be used for transportation, enabling Gaara to travel around quickly. Platforms can be made larger to support allies alongside him, or Gaara can give allies their own platforms.[4]
Shinki performs this technique using Iron Sand.[5]

Through the Outer Path, the user is able to manifest chakra chains, which bind anyone they touch. According to Obito, this binding power is far greater than that of Nagato's Outer Path.[3] The chains possess a cursed seal that suppresses the power of tailed beasts,[4] and also cause a great deal of pain to their victims.[5]
Obito was able to generate these chains through the use of black receivers. He implanted a single receiver into each of his Six Paths of Pain, which were made into temporary jinchūriki. By manifesting chains from the jinchūriki's receivers and connecting them to his hand, he was able to bind and suppress the tailed beasts inside them in the event that they resisted his control.[5] When Naruto Uzumaki was trapped inside the Four-Tails' mouth, Obito attempted to capture him by dragging the beast inside his own body using these chains.[6] The beasts were also bound by chains within their consciousness; when the receivers were removed from their jinchūriki's bodies, these chains were replaced by a single larger chain connecting directly to the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, permitting Obito to quickly reseal them into the statue.[7]

     The Demonic Statue emitting chains.
The Demonic Statue itself is able to emit chakra chains from its mouth. When Madara retrieved his Rinnegan and took control of the statue, he used it to produce chains with tips shaped like a dragon's head.[8] These chains were able to quickly restrain and seal all nine tailed beasts by wrapping around their necks like collars and dragging them into the statue. The chains are also capable of extracting tailed beasts from their jinchūriki, as well as preventing them from cancelling their Tailed Beast Mode. In the event that they are severed, these chains can easily be reconnected.[9][10]

Ninjutsu, Fūinjutsu, Juinjutsu, Cooperation Ninjutsu

Using a large quantity of sand, the user covers the enemy with several successive layers of the material, before compressing it into the form of a huge pyramid which serves to imprison the target upon its completion. Sealing tags can be placed onto the pyramid to increase its sealing power, or Shukaku can strengthen the seal with the juinjutsu that cover its body.


Gaara, whilst using the floating sand, manipulates his sand to create a large powerful pillar of sand to erupt from the ground beneath the opponent with intense ferocity, sending the opponent flying into the air.


Demonic Statue of the Outer Path (jutsu)

The Naraka Path grabs the opponent by the throat, and summons the King of Hell, who pulls the opponent into its mouth, bites them, and spits them back out.


Kekkei Genkai, Ninjutsu, Dōjutsu, Space–Time Ninjutsu, Barrier Ninjutsu, Taijutsu

Obito grabs the opponent and teleports them into Kamui's dimension. The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path then crushes the opponent with its palm.


Naruto harnesses a large amount of chakra and delivers a series of powerful claw slashes to the opponent. He then punches them into the air where he bats them back to the ground.


Haku creates a single ice wall that he can use to push back his opponent or defend against attacks for a short time.


Haku vanishes and reappears in any location desired, then creates a single ice mirror. Haku will then leap into the mirror from the rear and come out from the front, slashing the opponent with a senbon.


After the victim is trapped in Haku's ice mirrors, he attacks the victim in high speed like he does with the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals technique. During this, the dome starts to float in the air. After that, a clash of blue light explodes inside the dome, damaging the victim greatly. Right before this happens, Haku escapes at the last second, to prevent harm to himself. The mirrors then shatter into a million ice pieces.


This technique is performed with the "cursed" kekkei genkai of the Yuki clan. Haku creates several large mirrors out of ice, which he surrounds a target with.[1] By entering one of these mirrors,[2] Haku's reflection will appear in all of them. Haku can travel between these mirrors near-instantaneously, giving the appearance that he occupies all of them simultaneously. As such, any attacks he makes from these mirrors - usually rapid volleys of thrown senbon - can overwhelm opponents, seemingly coming from every mirror at once.[1] Using the technique requires a great deal of chakra from Haku, meaning he cannot use it indefinitely.[3] In the anime, if the mirror the user is in is broken, they can leap out of one of the fragments and continue their attack or move to another mirror.[4]
Although Haku moves between the mirrors extremely quickly, to the point that Rin no Sho describes it as light speed,[1] it is still possible to track him: Sasuke Uchiha, with his undeveloped Sharingan, becomes able to follow his movements, and with enough time could even attack Haku;[3] Naruto Uzumaki, after entering an initial jinchūriki form, is able to dodge Haku as well.[5] Similarly, although the mirrors are quite resilient, notably not melting against standard Fire Release,[6] Naruto's jinchūriki form is strong enough to shatter one.[5] The mirrors will also shatter if Haku stops maintaining them.[7]
These exceptions aside, the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals is still a formidable technique. Most victims will be unable to do anything against Haku's attacks, as they are so fast and come from so many directions at once that it's impossible to see all of them. If they should try to attack Haku while he's within a mirror, he can simply move to another mirror before they've even noticed.[1] If Haku completely surrounds his victims with mirrors, such as the dome he uses against Sasuke, then they are effectively trapped; only allies working from outside the dome stand a reasonable chance of saving them.[6] Even targets who manage to keep their distance from Haku are not safe, as he can simply form a mirror next to them, allowing him to quickly travel to and attack them.[8]


Kurenai places the opponent in a genjutsu where they are trapped in a tower as Kurenai places explosive tags all over it, causing it to crumble upon their detonation.


Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death Explosion

After using Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death, the tree that trapped the opponent explodes.


Kekkei Genkai, Ninjutsu, Clone Techniques

Using Ice Release, Haku leaves behind a clone of himself, which disperses into an ice mirror, with a reflection of his likeness inside. If an opponent touches it, they get frozen over.


Itachi places the opponent in a genjutsu where Itachi and a clone slash them numerous times.


The target experiences the illusion of a tree coiling around them, preventing them from moving. Because targets are immobile yet still conscious, this technique is a useful way to perform interrogations. Alternatively, users can simply kill the immobilised targets;[1] when Kurenai Yūhi attempts to do this, she emerges from the tree above the target to cut their throat.[3] This technique has been passed down through the generations among Konohagakure's villagers.[1] It was originally created during the time of Hashirama Senju, intended to make victims believe they were fighting Hashirama himself and his Wood Release.[4]

Demonic Illusion: Transforming Flower Technique

Kurenai brings out numerous flower petals, which are actually explosive tags after undoing her genjutsu, igniting them when the opponent is up close.


Demonic Illusion: Toad Confrontation Chant

Senjutsu, Genjutsu, Collaboration Techniques

This is a sound-based genjutsu sung by toads, their most powerful genjutsu.[3] The song's sheet music has been passed down through the generations of Mount Myōboku, but due to the complexity of the lyrics and melodies, only the Two Great Sage Toads have ever been able to successfully perform it.[1] It takes some preparation time for the two to establish the correct harmony, which in the meantime will alert opponents to their location and to what they're doing. Therefore, they rely on allies to fend off or distract opponents until they're ready.[3]
Once the toads have harmonized and have begun singing, all opponents – regardless of number or skill – who hear it will fall under the genjutsu's influence. Within the illusion, the victim's mind and movements are sealed within a barrier of water by four toad samurai. Meanwhile, the users and their victims can still interact and communicate.[4] The genjutsu can only be undone when the user gives the order or by having Mount Myōboku's secret Stone Swords driven into the victim's heart.[1] After the song is finished, the toads' throats are left strained and require rest.[5]

Demonic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Change

When a genjutsu is used on them, the user quickly decrypts the genjutsu with their Sharingan to understand how it works. They then perform an identical genjutsu on their attacker, causing a "genjutsu reversal" (幻術返し, Genjutsu Gaeshi, English TV: Genjutsu Reflection, literally meaning: Illusion Technique Reversal). Since most genjutsu are used to confuse victims, this reversed genjutsu deals predominantly mental damage. The effectiveness of the reversed genjutsu relies on how strong this technique's user is relative to their attacker and whether or not the attacker has any kekkei genkai of their own.[1]

Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique

This technique subjects targets to visions of their greatest fear, regardless of whether or not they're aware that they're afraid of it. This "fear" can be something that the target is actually scared of or merely the one image that they least want to see.[1] When Kakashi Hatake uses this technique on Sakura Haruno, he makes eye contact with her as he activates it. Kakashi then seems to disappear in a swirl of tree leaves, leaving behind what Sakura fears: a dying Sasuke Uchiha.[2] Being presented with such a gruesome image, one that, at the time, Sakura believes to be real, gives her enough of a shock that she faints to see it.[1]

Demonic Illusion: False Surroundings Technique

This technique layers an illusion over a location, causing it to look like a different location. Because of how wide an area the illusion can be placed over, that in turn makes it easy to trick others: any who enter the area will be affected by the illusion and see the false location. But to create an illusion on such a large scale and to potentially deceive so many people raises the chances that the trick will be discovered by someone who is familiar with genjutsu.[1]

Demonic Illusion: Dancing Blossom Swarm Technique

Kurenai gathers a gust of cherry blossoms around and sends three bundles of the blossoms as projectiles towards the opponent.


Demonic Illusion: Cajolery of Glamour is a speech-induced genjutsu of  Gengo's creation. It allows the user to put their opponent under an illusion using only words and speech. By infusing chakra into the tongue of the user, any target within auditory range of the user will become easily swayed in a post-hypnotic trance of their will and self-assurance; forcing them to face their innermost trauma as realised by the user's words in an effort to mentally break their spirit. Once told to look behind their back the genjutsu becomes complete, causing them to awaken (覚醒, Kakusei) as an obedient follower of the user.
The illusion itself cannot be easily broken, even when the person is under realisation that the genjutsu is in effect, but strong emotional connections, like love, can help in dispelling it. Hearing also plays a major factor for the illusion to take effect; as hearing loss makes the target immune to the genjutsu entirely. Likewise, echoes and acoustics that enhance the user's voice can make the genjutsu more effective to sway the target.


Demonic Illusion: Steaming Multistoried Building

A wide-range genjutsu (広範囲幻術, kōhan'i genjutsu, literally meaning: wide-range illusion technique), whereby Gengetsu, in tandem with his Giant Clam, is able to manifest realistic mirages by manipulating the light reflecting off the steam that it produces.[1]

Overview[]
As it is impossible for observers to distinguish from the real thing through normal methods, this technique is ideal for concealing the actual location of either individual, resulting in confusion amongst the opposition as their attacks are rendered ineffective as they attempt to ascertain the pair's true positions. Because the clam can continually produce steam from its siphons,[3] Gengetsu's illusions can last indefinitely.
According to Gengetsu, the only method to end the technique is to defeat the real clam, stopping it from producing steam. But as the creature itself remains camouflaged within the mirage, this is no easy task, even if the summoner is providing beneficial advice. While the technique is in effect, both Gengetsu and the clam cannot be sensed through traditional means, with the exception of contact type methods.[4]

Using her Demonic Flute, Tayuya summons the materialised spirits she stores in her Doki, without summoning an actual one. The spirits chase the opponent, stunning it if they hit.


The user concentrates all their Shikotsumyaku powers into the creation of a single bone weapon, which is made as hard as possible with a considerable amount of chakra. Because of the weapon's large size, as well as the sheer density of the compressed bone, Kimimaro must enter the second level of his cursed seal to be able to handle it. The bone weapon can be incredibly destructive, wielded as a sort of battering ram or spear. But a philosophy of the Kaguya clan is that even the deadliest weapon is useless if it can't hit its target. As such, Dance of the Clematis: Flower is first preceded by Dance of the Clematis: Vine, which is used to immobilise targets.[1] Despite its strength, this technique was unable to break through Ultimately Hard Absolute Defence: Shield of Shukaku, against which it shattered into pieces.[2]


Demonic Flute: Three Subordinates Interment Melody

While in her second stage cursed seal, Tayuya traps her opponent in a genjutsu with her flute, and while they're immobilised, her Doki attack her opponent from below.


With his Shikotsumyaku, Kimimaro pulls from his body a bone, such as an upper arm bone, that he's modified to use as a sword. With it he repeatedly stabs at his target, doing so rapidly enough to create the appearance of afterimages. Each stab is directed at a slightly different part of the target, from a slightly different angle, and with slightly different regularity, making it difficult to predict each strike. Although targets may be able to dodge Kimimaro's attacks for a time, they will eventually be unable to keep up with the constant and "chaotic" strikes, giving Kimimaro the opening he needs to finally stab and kill them.[1]


Demonic Illusion: Double False Surroundings Technique

This technique places another illusion within another illusion created by the user. When the target dispels the first illusion, they will not realise that a second is in place.


When Kimimaro enters the second level of his cursed seal, his spine grows longer to give him a tail-like appendage. For this technique, Kimimaro removes that spine to use as a weapon. Cartilage between the individual vertebrae makes the spine flexible for use as a whip, and the cartilage can be stretched further to increase the whip's range.[1] The vertebrae are also modified to have spikes, making it easier for them to hook into targets. When this spine whip is wrapped around a target, it holds them in place, making it easier to kill them with Dance of the Clematis: Flower.[2]

Kawaki fires a shrunken rod at the opponent, impales them by enlarging the rod, which immobilizes them long enough for him to drop a large cube on top of them.


The user spins around at high speeds, appearing like a small twister. While doing so, the user will launch a large barrage of kunai to several targets at once.


Isshiki brings out large cubes, showering them down in the surrounding area.


This genjutsu traps a victim in a powerful illusion, with no necessary eye contact; similar to Ephemeral, however, direct eye contact can still be applied when using this technique. When used, the genjutsu projects a torrent of crows, leaving the opponent at the user's mercy.


Demonic Illusion: Shackling Stakes Technique

Firstly, this technique requires the use of the Genjutsu: Sharingan. The opponent is caught in the illusionary world created by the user, and the victim is tormented with the sensation of having spikes driven through them, taking away their body's freedom. At the same time, the physical pain accompanying the illusion reveals that the greatest use this technique has is torture.


The user brings out large stone columns to pin down the opponent from above.

Kimimaro repeatedly attacks the opponent with alternating attacks with a longer than usual bone sword coming out of each hand.


This cursed seal is given to all members of the Anbu subgroup Root by Danzō Shimura, to ensure no information about him or the organisation fell into the wrong hands. After Danzō died, the seals disappeared from all the Root members.
When the wearer of this cursed seal speaks about anything incriminating related to Danzō or Root, their entire body will be paralysed, taking away their ability to speak or move. It is applied to the tongue and takes the shape of three solid lines and two broken lines from the back of the tongue to the tip.


Kekkei Genkai, Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Senjutsu

Jūgo slams down on the opponent from above and uses a stronger Piston Fist which creates a huge black shockwave.


The Cursed Seal of Earth is one of the strongest of Orochimaru's cursed seals, the other being its counterpart: the Cursed Seal of Heaven.

Appearance[]
It consists of three slightly curved lines, which spread in a rip-like pattern. The seal is located of the upper portion of Kimimaro's chest over his manubrium. When the first level is activated, the seal turns orange-red and expands in lines spreading all over Kimimaro's body in contorting and parallel lines. When the second level of the seal is active, Kimimaro takes on a dinosaur-like appearance complete with a tail. Several large bones also protrude from his darkened skin and gains four distinguishing figures: two dark black curved like markings under his eyes - one under each eye and two as elongated eyebrows - one above each eye.

Usage[]
This cursed seal is particularly strong even amongst the other already powerful cursed seals with Kimimaro being the only known user and with the Cursed Seal of Heaven standing as its only equal. Like all cursed seals, Kimimaro receives increased chakra levels, physical capabilities and his ninjutsu skills become more effective when the seal is active. The second level also increases his healing might, as his torn flesh was instantly restored upon his transformation.
Kimimaro must enter his second level in order to properly use the Dance of the Clematis: Flower, due to the resultant weapon's size and density.[1] In his second level, he can also merge with the bone blades created by his Dance of the Seedling Fern, allowing him to launch a deadly surprise attack at his target's blindspot.[2]

In his cursed seal level two form, Sasuke dives into the opponent, launching them into the air where Sasuke strikes them with a Chidori that creates a growing cloud of lightning.


The user can summon large black cubes which are capable of interfering with the abilities of Sensor Type individuals. The cubes themselves are very heavy, usually being dropped from above to crush anything below. In the anime, the Compression Rasengan, one of Boruto Uzumaki's strongest techniques, was incapable of inflicting any damage to one of the cubes.


The Cursed Seal of Heaven is one of the strongest of Orochimaru's cursed seals, the other being its counterpart, the Cursed Seal of Earth.[1]

Appearance[]
The seal consists of three tomoe (the design known as mitsudomoe), similar to the Sharingan, which when activated, the seal turns orange-red and spreads flame-like markings across Sasuke and Anko's bodies.

Usage[]
Like all cursed seals, the user receives increased chakra levels and physical capabilities when the seal is active, to the point where with the second level, Sasuke was equal in power to Naruto's one-tailed form when he first used it. The seal was applied on the left side of the back of both Sasuke's and Anko's necks.
Anko received her cursed seal when she was a student of Orochimaru. She, along with nine others, were the first people to receive a cursed seal. She was the only one to survive the application, establishing the one-in-ten success rate for the procedure. Because she lacked the will to use it, her seal receded, and (in the anime) Orochimaru wiped her memory. Orochimaru was able to briefly reactivate the seal when they fought in the Forest of Death before the Third Hokage sealed it off again. It was fully removed when Sasuke used it as a medium to revive Orochimaru's consciousness and body via the Evil Releasing Method.[2]
Orochimaru branded Sasuke with the cursed seal in the second phase of the Chūnin Exams, which took place in the Forest of Death. Orochimaru intended to have the seal corrode Sasuke's mind so that he could become his next body. Kakashi Hatake used the Evil Sealing Method to try and prevent this, but its effectiveness relied on Sasuke's choosing not to use his cursed seal. Sasuke ultimately chose to advance his seal to its second level, and went to Orochimaru with the help of the Sound Four.
When Sasuke activated the second level of the seal, his skin turned dark-grey and his hair grew and turned dark blue. His eyes also turned dark grey. Additionally, he grew webbed-claw-shaped wings from his back which he could use to fly and glide, and a dark, star-shaped mark appeared across the bridge of his nose. Should any limbs be lost, Sasuke is able to replace them with snakes. During Sasuke's battle with Itachi Uchiha, he lost the cursed seal, along with Orochimaru (having earlier been absorbed into Sasuke's body), as they were removed with the Sword of Totsuka.
According to Kabuto, the seal itself contains Orochimaru's chakra, which Kabuto used in order to improve the binding power of Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation. In fact, when Orochimaru was defeated, his consciousness remained split amongst the cursed seals, and Sasuke used that, along with a piece of Kabuto's modified flesh, to bring the former back to his original state and mind.[2]

After performing various hand seals, the user is able to perform an ancient ninja art that is only known to a few generations of the Fūma clan. The technique traps the victim in a pyramid-like chakra cage which will slowly constrict as the user moves his hands closer together. Anyone caught in the Mandala as it constricts will be crushed.
The user of this technique must maintain a triangle-shaped hand seal at all times to maintain the cage. Should the user's will falter or the entrapped opponent happen to be strong enough, the cage can be broken. When the cage breaks, a massive explosion of energy follows, destroying a wide area and harming the user. The prisoner however, remains safe at the centre of the blast.


With the help of pre-existing sand, the user creates a great number of sentient sand puppets and sends them to fight the opponent. The puppets, however, aren't that sturdy and can be easily taken out with one blow.


Culminated Feelings: Wind Lightning Cherry Blossom Formation

Kekkei Genkai, Ninjutsu, Senjutsu, Dōjutsu, Kinjutsu, Taijutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, Cooperation Ninjutsu

Naruto and Sasuke jump high into the sky, manifesting their Kurama cloak and Complete Body — Susanoo, respectively. Sakura completely releases her Strength of a Hundred Seal, and jumps even higher into the sky, gathering a massive amount of chakra in her fist. The three connect their attacks on the opponent, Sakura from above, Naruto and Sasuke from each side respectively.


Juinjutsu, Ninjutsu, Clone Techniques, Chakra Absorption Techniques

The user instills their chakra into a doll which absorbs chakra of a nearby individual and takes human form. Naruto Uzumaki was assigned by the Curse Jutsu Master to defeat and collect the curse dolls of the Curse Jutsu Master's friend which have taken the appearance of most of the characters in the game and had gone acting violently. His friend meant to make the beings that could labour indefinitely which turned into a failure though the Curse Jutsu Master revealed that this was a lie and that he scattered the dolls to create the ultimate ninja.


Curse Technique: Body Controlling Manipulated Blood

A jujutsu technique which requires both the user and their opponent be standing within a Jashin symbol, as well as obtaining the victim's blood and using it on their puppet. Afterwards, the puppet and victim become connected, allowing any damage done to the puppet to be shared with the connected individual. Even if the victim dies, the connection isn't severed, leaving their corpse to eternally be a puppet.


Guren creates a giant jade-green crystal shuriken, resembling a snowflake, and throws it at the enemy. Despite its sharpness, it wasn't able to penetrate the Three-Tails' shell.


Crystal Release: Tearing Crystal Falling Dragon

The user crystallises a material in the area, and then turns it into a pink Chinese-like dragon with several pink horns and jade-green eye irides. It can be used as a means to travel or to attack a target. Several dragons can also be made and manipulated at once.[1]

References[]

↑ Naruto: Shippūden episode 104


Crystal Release: The Gods' Crossings Technique

Guren places her hand on a surface, creating a long stream of sharp blue crystals to bind and pierce a target.

Influence[]
The name of this technique comes from a natural phenomenon that occurs in Lake Suwa in Japan's Nagano Prefecture. In winter, the lake's surface freezes over, but because of a natural hot spring under the lake, the lower waters remain warm and circulating. This causes pressure ridges to appear on the ice, reaching heights of 30 centimetres or more. Local belief holds that these ridges are formed by gods crossing the lake to visit the various buildings of the twelve centuries old Suwa Grand Shrine.


Guren creates pink crystal shuriken in the shape of snowflakes to launch at the target. The user can make them spin to increase their lethal power, and can burst into multiple shards with enough force to easily pierce through trees.


After using the Pressure Points of Harm and Death technique, Guren encases herself in a prism of transparent blue crystal. The prism can hover in the air, but seems to be immobile. However, the prism protects her from almost any attack, as it was capable of withstanding a barrage of continuous Rasengan, only shattering in the end. In addition, this technique allows her to attack by focusing her chakra into powerful heat blasts launched through the prism's tip.


Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Prison Technique

This technique, which seems to be Crystal Release: Crystal Pentagonal Prison on a smaller scale or a minor version of it, allows Guren to completely encase a single target in a compact mass of pink crystals. If the crystals are shattered, the victim disintegrates along with the crystal particles. However, Hinata was able to surround her body with chakra before she was completely encased, thereby avoiding the fatal disintegration effect. Therefore, this jutsu has no effect on chakra.


Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Labyrinth Technique

Kekkei Genkai, Ninjutsu, Barrier Ninjutsu

After planting red crystal seeds, Guren can cause them to bloom at will. These flower-like constructs will rapidly grow and into a massive barrier in order to trap whatever is within its perimeter. Enemies trapped inside hindered by the labyrinth's reflective nature as it can generate mirror images of the routes, paths, and other details within its confines, confusing and disorienting them. It is even capable of confusing the Byakugan. Until it is broken, the barrier cannot be discerned from within.
Because of the crystal's stable molecular structure, a simple attack focused at one point is rendered useless, and its wide surface will disperse the force of wide range attacks, reducing their effectiveness. To overcome this technique, an attack that has impact force both wide and powerful is required to smash through it from the outside.


Guren outstretches her arms in a position where her hands are open, and materialises a pink chakra-like energy, before converting it into a large jade-green mirror. The mirror takes the shape of a snowflake, and Guren can use it to perform the Jade Crystal Clone Technique.


Guren creates pink thorn-like crystals that she can manipulate to continuously grow towards her target's direction.


Guren surrounds herself in pink crystal particles, condensing them into numerous shuriken that continuously revolve around her as she launches them at high speeds.


Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Wall Eighth Formation

This technique allows Guren to encase a large area in red crystal, thus crystallising everything within it. This technique was first used in Guren's battle with the Three-Tailed Beast, but to no avail, as it broke out shortly after.


Guren materialises a blue crystal blade on her forearm to engage in combat. It has proven to be durable enough to block shuriken and kunai. If need be, she can create a crystal blade on each forearm.

By creating five large pink crystalline pillars around the user, this technique can be used to enhance the potency of other techniques. It was used to greatly amplify Yūkimaru's ability to the point that he could summon the Three-Tails, although with assistance from Kabuto's medication.


Crystal Release: Crystal Pentagonal Prison

Guren completely encases her opponents in pink crystal using the surface beneath them. When shattered, the bodies of the victims disintegrate along with the crystal particles. It is shown through examination with Shino's kikaichū that those affected by the technique are covered in a frostbite-like pattern.


Guren creates long, sharp pink crystals that shoot at the target at extremely high speeds with pinpoint accuracy. She can also create smaller version of pink crystals to trap her target.

This technique allows Guren to create a large and sharp blue spear-like crystal surrounding her forearm, which she can use to impale her target.

Guren creates a ring-shaped wheel out of pink crystal and has it circle around her, allowing her to keep above water and reach high speeds.


Crystal Release: Crystal Imprisonment Wave

A technique similar to Guren's Crystal Release: Crystal Pentagonal Prison, where she instead sends a wave of pink crystal particles through the air to encase them crystal.


Crystal Release: Crystal Encampment Wall

Guren sends out a wave of chakra, which then turns into an almost impenetrable red crystal wall, given the fact that it repairs itself when damaged. Only Shino's enhanced insects were capable of weakening the wall enough for Kakashi to finally destroy it with his Lightning Cutter..


Guren creates a dome of pink crystal to surround a target. It is highly durable from both external and internal attacks, and can be used to either protect or trap a target.


Malice creates a crystal barrier. Anything within the confines of the barrier is kept in suspended animation and constant chakra is necessary to keep the victim in the crystal barrier. If the user is somehow weakened and the targets who were sealed still have enough chakra, they can manage to escape.


This technique allows Guren to cover her skin with a thin sheet of pink crystal that improves her defence against physical attacks. This armour can also aid her to perform stronger physical attacks. The crystal is transparent and can only be noticed by light reflecting off it.

This is a clone technique utilised by Itachi Uchiha.

Overview[]
A technique that produces a clone by projecting one's own chakra towards dozens of crows. Because it uses crows as a medium, it requires less chakra than the normal Shadow Clone Technique, while still being able to perform techniques. The dozens of crows then come together to form the body of a clone. The same crows of the dispersed clone can regroup and form a new clone immediately.
When the chakra projected by the user is severed, the crows disperse, though the user is still able to continue to speak through it. When the crow clone is defeated, the crows can regroup to form a new clone immediately, or failing that, can be used to blind the opponent, leaving them open to a counter-attack.

Using the large mechanical drill on his right arm. Toki fires it in the direction he desires with such force that it can literally change the geography of the affected area. He used this technique to create a fork in the river which he used as a choke point where he can attack his targets.


The Creation of All Things Technique was a technique possessed by Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki that allowed him to turn fantasy into reality. The process he used is explained to have initially involved the administration of imagination, and the spiritual energy which forms the basis of Yin chakra to create physical forms from nothingness. Then, through the application of vitality, and the physical energy which forms the basis of Yang chakra, he would breathe life into the resulting creations. The tailed beasts were created from the Ten-Tails' chakra with this technique.
In the anime, when using this ability, the beings created are minuscule and surrounded by a magatama-like green energy pod.[2]


The Crescent Moon Rasengan is a more powerful version of the Rasengan used by Naruto in Naruto the Movie: Guardians of the Crescent Moon Kingdom.

Usage[]
By combining the rays of a crescent moon with a Rasengan, the size of the Rasengan is increased, which glows a bright white, light-purple colour, and forms a white crescent moon with a star inside of it.

Kinjutsu, Ninjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, Regeneration Techniques

The Creation Rebirth was invented by Tsunade with the resolution to protect the lives of her comrades. By releasing a large amount of chakra at once, the body's cell division is forcibly stimulated. Whenever the body's tissues are damaged or an organ is destroyed, the injury will instantly heal regardless of the severity. So long as Creation Rebirth remains active, the user cannot die, earning it recognition as the "pinnacle of medical ninjutsu" and the "ultimate regeneration technique".[1]
Creation Rebirth does not repair the old cells, instead hastening the creation of new ones through division. Because a body's cells can only split a certain number of times, the user shortens their natural lifespan whenever this technique is used.[2]

After jumping into the air, the ninken attack the enemy from a circular formation reminiscent of a crane's wings. After surrounding the opponent(s), the hounds then bite the target's limbs rendering them unable to react as they plummet to the ground.


In Sage Mode, Jiraiya lands a kick and a punch on his opponent before hitting them four times with his extended hair.


Kinjutsu, Taijutsu, Collaboration Techniques

This article is about the technique performed through the Eight Gates. For the one performed by the ninken, see Crane Wing Formation.

The Crane Wing Formation is a collaboration technique used by seven members of the Suicide Corps after activating the sixth gate.

Overview[]
The users line up side by side and enter the sixth gate. Upon doing so, they leap at their opponent, able to reach high up into the sky. The aura surrounding the users as a collective gives off the appearance of a crane's wings spread out — hence the name. When enclosing in on a target, the technique acts like a powerful blade, capable of destroying most of a gigantic meteorite.[1]

Yagura slams the end of his staff down on the ground, generating a long row of coral spikes to rise out of the ground, and once they reach the opponent several feet away, several large coral spikes impales them from below.


While in his transformed state, Yagura strikes the opponent with a powerful blow, causing a large formation of coral to quickly grow from the initial point of contact. This then rapidly solidifies and restricts the enemy's mobility, as the substance continues to grow, eventually covering their entire body.

The Corpse Clone Technique is a kinjutsu that allows the user to assume the identity of their victims. By opening their mouth wide, akin to a snake, the user will consume the target's living brain. After which, the user gains the victim's memories, abilities, and can take on their physical likeness perfectly. This technique is perfect for infiltration and spying leaving targets none the wiser as the user becomes a perfect replica. In the anime, the changes are implied to not require upkeeping once performed, as Shojoji was able to keep impersonating Tsukiyo at Hōzuki Castle, despite being branded with Fire Release: Heavenly Prison, which prevents one from using chakra.


The tailed beast or transformed jinchūriki fires multiple uncompressed Tailed Beast Balls in rapid succession at the target.


Ninjutsu, Cooperation Ninjutsu, Barrier Ninjutsu

A type of barrier ninjutsu utilised by the Konoha Barrier Team. After using themselves as the perimeter for the barrier, a barrier is erected and then takes on a dome shape capable of even trapping the Nue. To ensure Konoha's ability to respond to a crisis, Naruto routinely trains Konoha shinobi to use the barrier, usually releasing his own powerful chakra to test their limit.
The barrier apparently does not prevent people from entering as the Seventh Hokage was able to enter it without any issues. Similarly a Space–Time Ninjutsu was able to reach the barrier.

After Kandachi performs the necessary hand seals, the Conch King uses one or more of its chakra tongues to whip or restrain the opponent. The user can also pump their chakra into the Conch King increasing the tongue's length and speed. It is shown that repeated hits with the tongue can eventually kill the victim.


When the user implements this fūinjutsu on a summoner, it removes any direct control the summoner has over a summoned creature. Close contact appears to be required for the implementation of the seal. Minato Namikaze used this technique to wrest a Sharingan-controlled Kurama from Tobi's control. Though the Contract Seal removes the summoner's ability to control its summon, it does not give the user of the fūinjutsu the ability to control the summon in turn. Doing this however, seems to negate the time limit that a controlled summoning creature is in the present place.

The Compression Rasengan was created by Boruto Uzumaki in his quest to defeat Deepa.

Overview[]
By overlapping the Rasengan as it is formed in the dominant hand with the other hand, the user compresses and condenses it to its limit. In this state, it can penetrate targets with little resistance. Even if the impact is reduced by a strong defence to the point of making it non-lethal, it can still knock out powerful opponents. At the same time, its compressed nature can cause severe recoil, greatly straining the user's arm, making it dangerous to use often.[1]

The user and a teammate or more can team up and perform a special attack together on the opponent. Moves executed vary depending on the game.


This technique is used by Fūka to switch her consciousness between the several bodies she has access to. She needs to do this because of her Execution by Kiss technique: since a single body couldn't handle so much chakra, she had to use several to distribute all the chakra she had sucked during her life. Bringing out a scroll, she obscures her body in a quick movement, and switches into another body. Due to the bodies being made to share the same appearance, new bodies will appear unscathed, which can be used to create the illusion that Fūka can somehow heal herself. Destroyed bodies crumble into dust, causing the next body to replace it. Each body possesses a unique combination of elemental affinities. However, since she housed her soul within her hair, and that the hair was the same for all bodies, damage inflicted to that will be permanent.

The user does a powerful spin, generating the momentum needed to slash at any opponents behind them. The user can also utilise this spinning motion to trick an enemy that's in front of them. The enemy is fooled into thinking the user will attack them, but instead the user attacks the targets behind the user.


The user first imbues their blade with fire, before slashing in the direction of the desired enemy, resulting in the creation of large arcs of intense flame that follow the trajectory of the previous swing. A skilled user of this technique, such as Atsui, is capable of surrounding their immediate area with a circular wall of flames, incinerating multiple targets even if they approach from numerous angles simultaneously.

The user swings their sword in a single, large, crescent moon-shaped arc, which occurs with such ferocious velocity that the technique can be employed in situations where only a very limited time to react is available. The swing can be used to counter attacks from multiple opponents simultaneously.


The user uses a giant roll of cloth to tightly wrap up the intended opponent, completely immobilising them, thus preventing them from moving or using any techniques. The ability itself is versatile as once completed, the addition of further seals can be placed on top of the bound victims, preventing them from even being summoned while in effect. This technique is used by Sunagakure ninja. Mere physical contact with the cloth seems to be required to use this technique.

Ninjutsu, Clone Techniques, General skill

This article is about the actual ninjutsu. For the classification of this ninjutsu, see Clone Techniques.

This is a basic technique that every shinobi can use. In fact, Konohagakure's Ninja Academy prevents students from graduating unless they master this technique, and it was for this reason that Naruto Uzumaki failed three exams in a row. For this technique, users create one or more afterimages of themselves to move alongside them. Unlike most other clone techniques, these afterimages have no substance and thus are incapable of damaging opponents. Because of this, it is only useful for distracting enemies while other attacks are prepared.[1] Opponents can identify clones from their original through careful observation, as clones won't crush grass, kick up dust, etc.[citation needed] When demonstrating the jutsu, Sasuke's clones were not uniformly next to him or copying his moves.[3]


Kabuto slams his hand on the surface of water containing his specially-developed snakes and emits dark-red lightning, which causes the snakes to take on the form of a giant blue snake with a red mouth and no eyes. The snake then rams and pushes the enemy underwater in an attempt to drown them. Kabuto used this technique within The Hole, which is known to speed up the recreation process of his snakes.


The Clone Trap is a technique that uses an earth clone to restrict an opponent's movements.

Overview[]
When an opponent is prepared to land a physical blow, the user quickly creates an earth clone to take the hit instead. The earth clone will then revert to mud, which uniquely hardens to restrain the opponent's limb as the rest of their body is spread with cursed seals. However, it can be overcome with enough willpower.

After implanting Orochimaru's DNA, Kabuto used some of his cells to develop a large amount of tiny snakes that multiply at a rapid rate and can merge into either a clone of another living being using a genetic sample or a larger serpent for combat. They also have incredible regenerative abilities. Kabuto not only created a clone of Hidan using this technique, he also created one of Naruto with Kurama's chakra as well. However, for Hidan, the clone snakes have a short lifespan, with what they form into eventually suffering a cellular breakdown within 48 hours of existence.


After creating several shadow clones, Naruto and his clones launch themselves into the air and begin to somersault. They then come spinning down, slamming their heels onto the target's shoulders and head.

The user creates a shadow clone, intending for their opponents to attack the clone at close range. After a certain amount of time has passed, the clone detonates, creating a large explosion. If opponents happen to notice that it's a shadow clone they may be able to escape in time, for which reason the user should try to conceal the clone's identity and purpose as much as possible.[1]

Naruto and four shadow clones work together to deliver a physical attack from a distance. There is no set pattern, steps, or method to how this is done, instead relying on Naruto's characteristic unpredictability to be devised in the moment. When he uses this against Gaara, three shadow clones distract Gaara while the fourth throws Naruto at him, intended to deliver a body blow. Because one of his shadow clones is throwing him, Naruto's body blow ends up being more accurate and damaging than what he could do on his own.[1]

The user covers themselves with a cloak that has a colour and pattern matching the nearby surroundings, concealing their presence by seamlessly blending in. The user can then gather intel from their position or wait for an opportunity to stage an ambush on unsuspecting targets. Although skilled ninja can make effective use of this technique, unskilled ninja can be particularly ineffective; during his time as an Academy Student, Konohamaru Sarutobi routinely used poor disguises, such as trying to blend in with a fence using a horizontal pattern rather than a vertical one.[1]
While only a basic skill, Magire Kakuremino was able to effectively camouflage himself without the use of a pre-prepared cloth and freely move about, all while blending in with his surroundings.[2]

A unique ability to mix chakra with the iron from the user's blood to create black bands that serve as portals to travel to previously marked locations.

Overview[]
    Code travelling through a marking.
By making contact with or — from a distance — swiping towards a desired location, the user can manifest variously sized portals to any surface.[1][2] Once applied, they are able to freely travel to any of them, regardless of distance — even if they're in a different dimension.[3] While it only allows the user to move through them, it can take only one other person with him at a time.[4] While mostly used in battle or for transportation, it can also be employed as a means of communication, putting the user' mouth or ear through them to contact Ada.[5]
Although primarily chakra-based, they also contain iron from Code's blood which when mixed together causes them to become physical matter making absorption from Kāma impossible.[6]
When his limiters were active, the number of Claw Marks Code could create each time was severely limited. Once they were removed, he could create enough to cover the gigantic Ten-Tails, and manipulate them into pinching off pieces of the beast into Claw Grime.[7]
Removal of Claw Marks may be difficult, as Shikamaru Nara had to request Kawaki to use Sukunahikona to shrink them to unusable sizes.[8]

Drawbacks[]
Claw Marks are one size fits all; if they are shrunk to a certain size, Code will not be able to move between them, being forced to create new ones.[9]

Fū spins with his tantō, hitting the opponent several times.


A highly convenient technique, characteristic of Deidara. Above most other "clone techniques", this clone has the double role. It acts as a substitute and a trap for capturing the enemy. Made from clay, this clone can take attacks and capture the enemy by taking them into its own body. The clone shows its natural shape the instant a body goes through. While the clay changes in hardness, the enemy is skilfully immobilised. If explosive clay is added to the clone, it can then make itself explode, taking the enemy with it.
