Gotta love when newbies come onto base and post in every thread trying to build post count. There should be a auto message when you join base that suggests playing in forum games for post count.

Literally was just on your profile Sensei :p


There are a few reason I want to learn Ninjutsu. The main being it is the basis of a Ninja. Ninjutsu takes in to part all the things a shinobi needs, his skillset. One cannot be a great shinobi without having great ninjutsu skills (unless you're Naruto). Another is that in order to become the Suiton master I intend, I need to complete ninjutsu. Ninjutsu is needed to master an element because it teaches you how to make clones out of that element (i think) and other stoof.

My goal is to be a great shinobi. One of a shinobi's most valuable assets is his use of ninjutsu. With proper ninjutsu training I'll have a better understanding of how to use my elements to their fullest potential, use weapons with a better skill level, an even be able to avoid attacks or keep myself hidden from my enemies who wish to do me harm.

Your answers are very similar, as you both acknowledge Ninjutsu as more of a foundation, and you are somewhat correct. With the introduction of this type of Ninjutsu, it is a basic term that also contains the basic five in it, but what you must keep in mind that this Ninjutsu is about the manipulation of pure chakra. Such an example of this would be what you said, such as cloning and summoning contracts. It is the fundamental, whereas you focus on manipulating raw chakra in conjunction with Ninja Tools, which I feel is very much underestimated these days. So, I want to talk about Ninja Tools a bit, if you don't mind. Generally, there are no restrictions regarding Ninja Tools, so use them as much and as creatively as possible.
Starting with the kunai, what do you know of them?

Kunai are the most commonly used ninja tool next to shurikens. They can be used for many reason such as: Throwing at enemies. To attach strings an set trip wire traps. Attach explosive tags to. They are also used as daggers for close range physical combat. A lot of ninja incorporate their elemental affinity into the weapon by covering it in the chakra type for many reason such as: extra damage like fire, increased sharpness with wind nature as well as increased penetration power.

Kunai is a basic yet very important tool. It has many uses such as cutting or killing. It can be thrown or used as a handheld weapon. It can also be used in conjunction with something like wire, used for binding an opponent. It can also be infused with elements, making it more powerful.

Very basic answers from both of you. Kunais are offensive weapons that allow for physical contact of the body, as you stated. However, they can also be defensive, and can block simple taijutsu or other direct attacks, hand in hand combat. Wind, as SandCoffin states, is most often used for the elemental combinations, but yes, they can be combined with a variety of moves.

Furthermore, by releasing a full wave of kunais at someone, it distracts their vision of sight, as they will be focused on what is before them. Within a battle, it is important to know where your opponents focus will be. By using flashy moves, you can get them to stare upon that only while you cook up another move that can flank them from the back. Naturally, by using this jutsu, their attention would be focused on the kunais, so keep this in mind the next time you battle. It is a good distraction, so use it to the best of your ability.

Now, what do you both know of Shurikens?

There are different types of shuriken, Windmill (collapsible) and a giant one, and ofc the basic ninja ones. They have 4 points normally and shaped kind of like a star. They too can be used in multiple ways. Whether marking positions or attacking an opponent or even deflecting their ninja tools. Like kunai they can be atatcked to wire for multiple purposes and charged with chakra to become mo' powerful.

Shurikens or throwing stars are the second most commonly used ninja tool, generally used for throwing, and sometimes stabbing or slashing. They are sharpened hand-held blades made from a variety of everyday items, such as needles, nails, and knives, as well as coins, washers, and other flat plates of metal. Shurikens are mainly a supplemental weapon to the more-commonly-used sword or other various weapons in a samurai/shinobi's arsenal, though they often play a pivotal tactical role in battle.

Again, you both speak more of physical aspects, but Japan also covers the fact that both of the weapons mentioned above can be charged with chakra. This includes streaming lightning or even fire through threads like what Sasuke did, are both great ways to use Shurikens. Windcan definitely enhance these weapons as well.
Neither of you mention this, but Shurikens are designed to travel quickly and efficiently through the air, gathering force so that the edges become particularly sharp as it hits its opponents.
The easiest way to use these are either a swarm of Shurikens, which act like little annoying bugs, and can easily block your opponents field of vision (as they will be focused upon these weapons coming at them), or to tie them upon strings and manipulate your opponents into being tied up in them.
They are light, easy to handle, and you can hold a bunch at once, unlike a kunai.
The next ninja tool is the smoke bomb.
Explain to me how you would use it in a battle and what it's prime use it for. Also, which Doujutsu can render it useless?

The smokebomb is used for distraction or to hide your presence from the enemy, usually more than one are used at the same time. You can use them not only to hide yourself, but can also mask your movements such as handseals so your opponent can't guess with nature release you are about to do, or to even mask yourself making a clone and hiding underground or in the form of water quickly. Ultimately the use depends on the ninja but it's main purpose is to mask your true intentions, and avoid detection.

I believe the Byakugan can see through the smoke as it can see through walls, trees, and other obstetrical up to quite a long distance(as Neji saw the chakra tags miles away from the entrance to Akatsuki hideout in Gaara retrieval ark). I don't think that the Sharingan can see through smoke, they may be able to see chakra on the other side of the smoke as color, but won't be able to see your actions in the smoke.

Exactly. When the opponent can't see you, they are unable to react appropriately to the situation, and to whatever jutsu may be coming up next. While it also provides cover, it can also provide engage, due to your opponent being unable to see you.

You are correct about the Byakugan and the Sharingan, but yes, the Sharingan can see the chakra of other shinobis, and as the smoke bomb does not have chakra in it, he would be able to get a vague image of his opponent.

Next, we have the flash bomb. What do you know of this?

Flash bombs are used for diversions, creating a blinding light when they detonate. Flash bombs are also popular tools of the Nara clan, as they can use them to temporarily increase the size and range of their shadows. It may look like small spheres wrapped in paper or, more conventionally, as canisters. In the anime, it was shown that flash bombs can also be used in paper form similar to explosive tags.

Outside of Narutoverse flash bomb or flashbang, is a non-lethal explosive device used to temporarily disorient an enemy's senses. It is designed to produce a blinding flash of light and loud noise without causing permanent injury.
The flash produced momentarily activates all photoreceptor cells in the eye, making vision impossible for approximately five seconds, until the eye restores itself to its normal, unstimulated state. The loud blast is meant to cause temporary loss of hearing, and also disturbs the fluid in the ear, causing loss of balance.

You are precisely correct. The easiest way to remember this is:
Smoke bomb = Cover.
Flash bomb = Opening to attack.
Throwing a flash bomb behind yourself is the fastest way to blind an opponent. Keep that in mind and use it often. I like to start off fights with it, to be honest, because the throw is a quick and efficient act. I also like to follow up with some a particular Ninjutsu that you will learn soon. Also, don't forget that they help Nara jutsus...if you ever decide to get a Nara bio.

So for this first jutsu, proceed to take these two shurikens and note how they are similar to one another. Then, throw them in such a way that the second one is hidden in the shadow of the first...
What might be the purpose of this?
