Ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu

Ninjutsu..

 

[Colonel Armstrong]

ninjutsu bro

 

[Gerkak]

ninjutsu is the best

 

[Draphsin]

Ninjutsu, most versatile.

Genjutsu & taijutsu are both restricted to certain conditions.

 

[AGoodBoy]

Genjutsu. It's the best skill IMO. If you're as good as itachi/shishui/trollkage you can do sooo much with little no evidence left behind.
I can kill someone and no one would even think i did anything. I could make someone go insane with no trace back to me. So much masked destruction, so little traces left behind. Beautiful.

 

[Prime Rib]

the people who say ninjutsu/taijutsu mastery you would choose clearly cant see that genjutsu is way better since by messing up a user mind and chakra flow they wont be able to Move(tai) or perform (nin) jutsu

 

[Dr Doom]

Taijutsu makes badass interesting fights. Ninjutsu is cool...Genjutsu is lame lmao.

 

[Xāvî1]

Actually you need all depending on the foe

 

[paratise]

Taijutsu, i like martial arts. Even done for a short while.

 

[Yolobito Swagchiha]

Genjutsu without a doubt. It honestly depends on which style, TBH. If it were, say, Sharingan style Genjutsu I'd pick it in a heartbeat.

 

[Yolobito Swagchiha]

And then again, Izanagi, which is possibly the most badass tech in existence. Definitely Genjutsu if I have access to Izanagi.

Ninjutsu for sure. Most of the best moves in series are ninjutsu. Though genjutsu is a real close second for me.

 

[UltimateDeadpool]

Taijutsu for me. I feel that ninjutsu and taijutsu should be supplementary.

I think it's the other way around, personally.

 

[Beatrix]

Genjutsu - best skill set for a true shinobi. None of this flashy orange-loud-mouthed-hero bullsh*t.

Itachi Uchiha had it right I think. Lead in with genjutsu, mind-**** and destroy enemies with minimal effort.

I'd use taijutsu to back-up and ninjutsu to counter.

 

[Akaoni]

Genjutsu... really I just want to do the Kakashi stare down.

Lol people thinking ninjutsu would be useful in todays world. Genjutsu for me, that has so mamy uses.

 

[UltimateDeadpool]

I think it's the other way around, personally.

Look at the manga though. Fight after fight shows characters playing jutsu dodgeball, doing minimal damage - if any. Finally, it comes down to the combatants being low on chakra, and one of them ends up stabbing the other one.

Punches and kicks hurt, and weapons like swords have proven to be more lethal than most jutsus; and the only chakra they require is how much it takes to swing them.

That's because going in for taijutsu attacks is pure suicide against anyone in the top 20-ish. Like if Rock Lee or Ay or Kimimaro went for a strike, they'd be smashed with a chakra arm and blasted with Frog Kumite, flicked away by Susano'o, teleported with FTG, sniped/evaded with Kamui, have a forest created under their fert, face a monsoon of crushing sand, get sucked in by gravity and catch a chakra rod to the head, etc. The way the game has evolved, pure taijutsu isn't exactly a good game play. Even taijutsu experts are creating massive attacks like Gai's Hirudora/Evening Elephant.


Your post does hold merit, a lot of batles do come to simple blow for blow. But, with how the game has changed and power has scaled, a ninjutsu expert would wreck a taijutsu user before they came in range. Like Madara with Bijuu sized Katon, Itachi's wall of Amaterasu, what have you. However, taijutsu and physical damage is desperately needed when all that chakra is gone like you pointed. It definitely shouldn't be neglected in any light.

TL;DR - Ninjutsu generally has a bigger scale, more devastating results, and doesn't require placing yourself in dangerous situations, as opposed to the bulk of taijutsu. However, both are incredibly useful and necessary tools for the standard shinobi.

And blind.

OT: Ninjutsu would be the most practical, but gen would be the coolest.
