Okay, we must start from the beginning.
Tell me why you want to learn Ninjutsu and how you personally plan to use it in a battle.
There are many reasons as to why I would like to learn ninjutsu, so I'll sum it up with a list.

  • In order to become a sensei, and pass knowledge onto newer Role-players, I must at least master Ninjutsu, along with the Basic Five | Genjutsu | Kenjutsu | and Taijutsu.
  • I plan on taking a Minato Namikaze battle test, and in order to show full usage over the character, I should have a good general knowledge on Ninjutsu.
  • I hate to say it, but I also would like to learn it, to have more techniques at my disposal.
Well I plan to use ninjutsu to give me an advantage over my opponent. There are quite a lot of ninjutsu techniques, whch can make countless of good counters, if used correcty.

Sorry if the reply isn't in detail, quite tired, but if you need me to write more, I would be willing to.

No, no, it's great. If you're tired, it's best to go sleep, haha, I wrecked my own body staying up too late in the past.
They're all good reasons, but I hope you can treat each and every Ninjutsu technique as a special one. All of them have great uses and allow you to be creative in many different ways.
The first basics of Ninjutsu I would like to go over are in fact, the weapons, which are utilized a lot in the Ninja World.

Firstly, you have the kunai.

Haha true, but I have some work I need to do with my village, until our kage gets unbanned. =.=

A kunai is a standard basic ninja tool, mainly used in hand to hand combat. Unlike a shuriken, a Kunai is far more heavier, and impales much more deeper due to it's design. It can also act to transport small nearly weightless things, such as notes | explosive tags | and poison.

I personally would use it in battle to set up explosive tags, or throwing deadly poisons towards the opponent, while staying out of range.

Straightforward description. I'm liking it.
The Kunai is generally the strongest out of the basic ninja tools, and can also be treated as a small sword. It can block weak physical attacks and easily cut into people to kill them, like an easy slice into the sternum and ribs, or into the forehead or the back of the head for an instant death.
There is indeed a hole for a kunai to be able to fit on explosive/poison tags. Flash and smoke bombs can also be attached to it with a small string.
My favorite character in Naruto is Shikamaru (followed by Kabuto), and he is known for excellent usage of Ninja tools. There's one trick I picked up from him, and that I'll share with you.
Fake explosive tags.
There's something called zoning in any battle, which means forcing your opponent to stay in one idea through use of jutsus or tools so that you can trap or damage them in the way you want to.
Let's say I tossed a kunai with you to your right side and it looked like it had an explosive tag on it, what would you do?

Your description makes me wanna write more. :eek:
I would most likely try to get out of short-range from it, or defend myself with a technique.
I like the trick, it's pretty deceiving, and useful, because while your opponent is defending against the fake explosive tag, you could attack them while they're distracted, putting more force, and pressure on them.

Oh no, haha, don't be pressured, just enjoy the learning. I just want to make sure everyone walks out...enlightened, at the very least. xD Not just learn a jutsu and move on.
Yes, you hit the point. If I had a kunai with an explosive tag coming at me from my left side, I'd be forced to jump to my right, which then, my opponent would be able to hit me with a jutsu that he set up there, or maybe even a bomb he had placed.
This also hits another great topic, which would be the opponent's field of vision. It's impossible to be looking everywhere at once (Byakugan the exception) so knowing what your opponent is focused on and taking advantage of his blind spot can allow you to pull off successful jutsus too.

Okay, let's move on for now though there are so many more things I could be ranting about. xD
Shurikens.

Explain how they are used and how their design is special within a battle.

Yeah, I understand what you mean. For my wind training, I did that, and I terribly regret it. I don't really use wind in combat, because more than half the techniques I'm unsure of. (I'll have to retrain myself with wiki) >_>
Ahh the bind spots are always the best places to take your opponent down. :p

Alright. xd
The design of a shuriken is quite unique, having four sharp blades. Due to it's design it travels through the air much lighter, and faster than a normal kunai. It often has a hole at the center, allowing for the user to tie threads, and wires.

They are mainly used as a distraction, or nuisance to the opponent, and due to the design the user is able throw multiple shurikens in rapid successions, further irritating the opponent. They are also used for setting up traps, mainly using threads.

You know what I see? Senseis posting like three jutsus at once and then brushing them by.
That is completely unacceptable. Wtf. I was taught like that too over three years ago by Kaito, and I didn't learn jack shit until I read some battles and gained some common sense. I want people to be able to refer back to their training threads for refresher if they ever need it, not just forget whatever they learned. (Shh, I never said this.)

Field of vision is an important aspect of any battle that you must keep in mind while battling. Other small, yet extremely important, details include handseals, timing, and human body limits. The more you express, the better.
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, as you said so yourself.
They are easy to handle, and you can hold a bunch at once, unlike a kunai.
Furthermore, because it is so light and agile, it easily starts spinning rapidly in the air, allowing a centripetal force to propel them, making them especially sharp, so that it cuts easily into an opponent. Think of it like running momentum.

Okay, next 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?

Remember that there are no restrictions on basic Ninja tools in a battle, so be creative and use them to the best of your ability.

I agree, some post a lot more than three. X__X
AHh I forgot all about hindering the opponent's vision, Itachi was able to perform hand seals during his Shuriken battle with Sasuke, and Sasuke didn't even notice. O_O Not sure if that was a good example. xD

Well in a battle I would use a smoke bomb in several ways. The first way would be to hide your location, with this the user can go underground, coming up from behind the opponent, or making a run for it. The second way I would use a smoke bomb, is for surprise attacks, similar to how Naruto did with the Rasenshuriken against pain, or to throw a barrage of weapons towards your opponent.

The only doujutsu that has been shown to be able to see through smoke is the Byakugan, due to it's unique vision.

Great example! Good to know what your opponent is focused on at all times so you can take advantage of it, e.g., concealing handseals you said, or even incoming traps and jutsus.
Excellent.
The Smoke Bomb allows you to pull off moves that are usually shrouded, so your opponent can't detect it. You can do a lot of sneaky things behind it (heh), and one of my personal favorites is creating a clone, but hiding it immediately underground. By disregarding your opponent from knowing what's going to happen, you can easily win a battle.
You're missing another Doujutsu.
An important one. o_o
Explain why it can see through Smoke Bombs.

The byakugan is capable of seeing through the smoke due to having eye sight similar to X-Ray Vision, but instead it sees chakra. (Not sure if this is correct)
O_O The other Doujutsu, I can't remember its name, it's from the filler arc with Raiga?

No, no, just don't say you understand.
Let's do a little research on Sharingan together.
What exactly can the Sharingan see that is similar to the Byakugan, which allows it to see through smoke bombs? Why is it considered one of the most dangerous Kekkei Genkais to have?

Super late, tired, running a stomachache for some time. xD Gotta head to sleep, but I promise I'll reply tomorrow. My apologies beforehand.
