After becoming more in-tune with myself, understanding the ebb and flow of my own body in pure tranquillity, I notice a source of life silently flowing throughout my body as I meditate longer its presence seems more tangible to me. Its presence seems constant and not just apart of me but sub-consciously I am aware that it is also part of all things around me. The awareness grows and the sensation multiples with passing hours until my body gives in and I pass out from dehydration.
"Hmmm, thanks... Well the sensation I felt flowing through my body must have been my chakra flowing through it's circulatory system and to my knowledge chakra is the life force that exists in all things. Now the specific use of that chakra is called ninjutsu. Ninjutsu is a very broad spectrum and in order to perform ninjutsu the user must have an acute awareness of his or her chakra and how to use it. Chakra manipulation is the key to making ninjutsu exist and its manipulation can be divided into two large groups Shape Manipulation and Nature Manipulation. Shape manipulation refers to the form you mould your chakra into for a desired effect, which in essence allows the jutsu to take real form. Nature manipulation refers to the ability to give your chakra the necessary properties in order for your ninjutsu to have a correlating effect and characteristics that you would like to occur. There are five basic nature/elemental ninjutsu that make up the entire side of elemental ninjutsu, with a few variations and manipulations inbetween. There are also external source of chakra called natural energy which can allow the user to enhance their physical and spiritual attributes and capabilities if harnessed correctly. This is an advanced form ninjutsu and is derived from the heart of understanding ninjutsu and having precise internal balance and chakra control. I think I have waffled on enough for now." *Gasps from fatigue and continues to drink the water*

Those are the twelve basic hand seals, each one is named after an animal in the zodiac. They are used to help shinobi mould chakra easier. Each shape helps with a different and desired effect within ones chakra system. One could say that the number of handseals represents the level of difficulty of a jutsu but, that isn't the case. Jutsus have various levels of chakra manipulation in order for them to be executed correctly. The handseals help each shinobi mould the chakra (Create an easier flow/control/mainpulation.) in a specific area. This is different for many because though certain techniques require a certain number of handseals to perform, a user who has a high level of understanding or skill in moulding the element, that specific chakra manipulation or shape can reduce the number of seals he or she needs to do to execute those jutsus. There are some that require one handseal to do a specific jutsu while it takes others three. They are an aid into learning,executing and mastering ninjutsu, but one must always understand that they do consume time in a life threatening situation. Which is why we train..!:scorps:
Chakra is the physical and spiritual energy combination that exists in ones body. They constantly flow through a persons body and some have greater amounts of it than others. There are those who have more physical than spiritual energies or chakra resevers than another. These enhance and alter who you are and your capabillites as a shinobi overall. Those who have a more 'spiritual' combination have generally a strengthened mind,spirit,vitality and peace within oneself. Whilst the physical manifests itself outwardly in enhanced movement,fast reflexes, instinctual survival/combat judgement, e.t.c
"Ahh man, sorry sensei, I guess I am not too fond of rambling." *Drops low and starts doing push ups* "Damn this is though" *Keeps going while beginning to sweat profusely* "700!" *Arms are trembling and physical exhaustion is taking it's toll.* "900!" The shade of tree protecting the last few push-ups as I collapse on the floor after performing the last one. "1000" said in a fatigued voice. *Grabs bottle of water and lies back exhausted breathing erratically*
