You are certainly correct when it comes to this. The best way to describe them is by saying that they represent a military of a nation capable of manipulating chakra to great extent. This incorporates hand to hand combat as well as the elemental manipulation which requires the ability from one to perform nature and shape manipulaton in quick time-frame making it almost unnoticable. <:Ninjas are the basic militia for the nations of the world. They reside from/or come from various hidden villages where they are usual trained to become a ninja. They possess physical prowess unmatched to the common citizen and perform superhuman tasks.
To me, I follow the same ideology as Naruto, Hashirama and Jiraiya that being a ninja means being able to endure.
Essentially chakra represents basic energy within each shinobi which is formed from two parts. That is physical and spiritual energy. Spiritual energy is one which comes from within each shinobi and its power is different depending on the shinobi at hand. On the other hand physical energy is one which is build over time and training and which can easily be improved. Well, it is better to say that is easier to improve the physical than spiritual energy, rather than saying that it is easily improved. It requires a lot of time and effort put from a shinobi. In my opinion best manifastation of spiritual energy would be Susano'. It increases with increase in potency of spiritual energy (in this case doujutsu). Chakra has a circulatory system within our body which can be compared to the blood circulatory system. It is built out of 361 tenketsu and from each one of those shinobi is capable of releasing the same.Chakra is a mixture of physical and spiritual which is developed through years of martial art training and physical endeavors and meditation. It was first originated from the God Tree and passed on to the humans through princess Kaguya who ate a fruit bore from the tree which made her the first person to wield it. Ninjas take advantage of chakra by molding it and releasing it through pressure points on their bodies called tenketsu in order to perform jutsus, which enable them to perform extra ordinary tasks like Exhale fireballs, creating illusions etc.
A ninja can have a "maximum" amount of chakra that they can form and use before it runs out and they need to rest to regenerate it. With practice this limit can be increased, but to an extent they are limited to the quantity and strength of chakra that their genetics grants them.
Ninjutsu, allows us to by utilization of chakra achieve tasks that without it we wouldn't be capable of. The way ninjutsu works is that we firstly focus chakra and then mold it as to give it specific characteristics. Charka, similar to blood in our body has its cirulatory system through which it flows although we don't need to constantly monitor it, also similar to how blood circles in our body. However when we so wish and/or need we can focus that chakra to specific part of the body and release it. In the essence, chakra represents molding or mix of our physical and spiritual energies. Now, as to improve our abilities to control and/or mold chakra we can use hand seals. There are twelwe basic hand seals which named after animals;In order to have good chakra control, a ninja must only mould as much chakra as they need to perform a jutsu. If they mould more chakra than is needed, the excess chakra is wasted and they will tire out faster from its loss. If they don't mould enough chakra, a technique will not be performed properly.
Ninjutsu is the most common of the three types of jutsus performed by a ninja. Any technique which is not hand to hand combat or illusions is considered as a ninjutsu, even the usage of weapons (like Tenten). Most ninjutsu involves shape and/or nature transformation. General training methods for improving one's moulding and manipulation of chakra are the Leaf Concentration, Tree Climbing, and Water Surface Walking exercises. Once mastered it, rasengan can be performed."

Hand seal basically help us as to manipulate exact amount of chakra that is needed for a specific technique. Each technique has a different sequence of hand seals that is needed for its performance. Some techniques need less hand seal whereas some other need more.

Both shape and nature manipulation are types of molding chakra whereas one deal with one thing and other with other. You got my point. Anyhow what I said already by mixing our physical and spiritual energies we will create chakra which we can release from one of our 361 tenketsus. Now when we are releasing this chakra we usually apply processes of nature and shape manipulation. Nature manipulation deals with transforming chakra into specific element with different characteristics. Now depending on the element into which you are transforming this chakra you would focus on different aspects. On the other hand there is shape manipulation which deals with actual form that chakra takes. This can be anything and it also depends on the technique and/or element which is in question.
We will go over basics here and then I will resume the other training thread![]()
"Right, what do you know about Fire Release? As well as its interactions with other elements?
I seeIn my opinion, fire is one impulsive element as well as a precarious one, that can easily smoulder and suddenly burst. The flames of creativity and passion, dancing source of heat, life and light. Fire is capable of giving wings of fortitude, benevolence and devotion. Fire is adamant and exhilarating and doubtlessly not subtle. It is seen as a force that is burning inside all of us, giving us iron willpower as to reach our objective, bestowing upon us the passion to do it with all of ourself. What I learned is that water is stronger then fire. This being said, a C ranked water jutsu is equivalent in power as a B ranked fire jutsu, keeping in mind that sizes of jutsus are approximately the same. This is because water is capable of extinguishing flames and thus not letting them keep on burning. Although water is stronger then fire, when used in conjuction, the two are capable of forming steam. This is especially usable if you are a sensory ninja or are capable to in any way or form know where your opponent is standing. You will be capable of hiding your presence and thus create sneak attacks. Now if you know that your opponent is capable of sensing you could get rid of the steam by releasing wind which will passively blow away the steam as it continues towards opponent. Now when it comes to fire release and wind release. Fire is stronger then wind, because oxygen from which wind is formed is just going to fuel the flames. Although when they clash fire is going to overpower wind, they are actually quite great when it comes to their combo usage. Oxygen from which wind is formed is going tu fuel flames even more and thus make them stronger and make them effect bigger area. The speed of the technique that would now be running would be greater. Fire and Earth Release in our RP are neutral with each other. Which means that a C ranked fire technique will be equivalent in power as a C ranked earth technique, keeping in mind that their size is approximately the same. Although they are neutral to each other when they clash they are quite good when they combine with each other. The heatness from fire will effect the earth and thus melt it forming magma. Keep in mind that magma will be formed if earth is more solid. If the variation of earth release, mud was combined with fire release, heatness of fire is going to harden the mud. Same as with Earth Release, Fire and Lighting are neutral once they clash. It is usally great to make great damage to opponent. Fire release is going to burn down the opponent whereas lighting is going to shock opponent. Interesting to the two is that they in a way compensate each other. Fire is strong against Wind whereas, Lighting is weak against Wind. It would be good to let's say firstly send a lighting attack as a bait, assuming that opponent is going to use wind jutsu as you send a fire attack to follow it.
*I take the chakra paper and start concentrating on fire. Simultaneously molding chakra and passing it through my tenketsu towards my fingertips where they diffuse into the paper. While this happens, I concentrate on the element of fire, as mentioned by you, I sense the burning desire to reach my goal, and use it as a force that accomplishes my goal. My Hands start heating up, and I think of being one with fire and concentrate on the transfer of energy. *Ok so, take this paper sheet and try to infuse chakra within it. If you're able to manipulate element of fire it should burn to ashes. Think of fire's properties as you infuse it with chakra!
*Hands you out a paper sheet*
Okay lets do it!*The paper burns down to many little pieces.*
Right, so, amazing job! This means you are able to manipulate element of fire. However this first task was a piece of cake when you look at it now. Let's see how good you can actually control it.
*Lisbeth jumps forward getting closer to you*
Look at this.
*She begins molding chakra in her upper body, mouth and gullet whilst thinking of fire's properties. When she was certain that she has enough chakra molded she begins releasing it from her mouth. Applying basic processes of nature manipulation she would cause for creation of fire and shape manipulation to form multiple balls of flames which easily reach mid range.*
Try and do the same. Basically focus chakra in your upper body before releasing it. Then apply nature and shape manipulation to form multiple smaller projectiles of flames. LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!
(Katon: Ryu Kaen Bakufuu ) - Fire Release: Dragon Flame Blitz
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user inhales and then exhales, shooting small balls of fire at the opponent.
*catches scroll*Amazing! This next technique have multiple applications, or well can be used both as a projectile or a stream. Due to last technique being a projectile type of technique, I'd like you to perform this one as a stream. Basically gather chakra in your body before releasing it from your mouth. Apply nature and shape manipulation to form a stream which you'll fuel as it is being released. Alternatively, you can use this as a projectile by releasing fire balls and also releasing it from your limbs rather than mouth. Due to its nature, you can use it so to aid you in taijutsu.
*tosses you a scroll*
( Katon no Jutsu ) - Fire Release Technique
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will release a small but powerful flame of fire at their opponent from either their limbs (through movement) or exhaling it. It can produce fire balls or fire streams or simply aid in taijutsu.
I see!Projectiles are techniques that are released from your body,from your mouth,your feet,your fists and so on. Projectiles are blasted off/launched from your body towards the intended target. When it comes to projectiles you gather and release a defined amount of chakra. What is characteristic when it comes to projectiles is that once they leave your body they are no longer tied to your chakra which means that once you release them you can send another technique to follow them (Let's say you send a fire ball towards your opponent and as soon as you release that fire ball from your mouth you send a wind tornado as to make a fire tornado which makes more damage as well as effects bigger area). But not being tied to your own charka comes with an disadvantage. Direction in which they are moving can not be changed unless the technique you use says otherwise. That disadvantage with which they come makes it easier in a way for opponent to counter them. There is one more characteristic attribute to projectiles and that is sending few of them at the intended target. But the bigger the number of projectiles there is the smaller their power as well as size are. But sending more projectiles can make countering of a technique harder. You can send one towards your target's legs and one towards his head. He will have to use a technique that effects a bigger area as to defend from yours.
1 S ranked projectile = 2 A ranked = 4 B ranked = 8 C ranked = 16 D ranked
Unlike projectiles, streams are constantly released from ones body which means a person has to constantly fuel their stream with chakra as to keep it active. Because streams are constantly tied to ones chakra they make it unable for one to perform another technique whilst he or she is streaming it unless of course they have a clone or an ally or anything that can perform a technique. But because they are tied to ones chakra they are let's say more controllable. Person can decide when he or she is gonna stop streaming his technique and in that way stop it. Person can also change direction in which he is releasing the stream. Unlike projectiles when it comes to creation of streams there is less shape manipulation involved and thus they are less concentrated.
