All in all, I enjoy an honest answer.
So, enlighten me on why you want to learn Ninjutsu? O:

Well one of the main reasons is because I think its the first thing any RP'ing individual should learn. I mean how could we technically learn to utilize elemental chakra before fully mastering or at least getting a grasp over regular chakra? From what I've seen, most RP'ers that haven't learned ninjutsu are unable to fully complete certain elements. This is more or less because of the shadow clone technique and its variants as well as rasengan variants.(ex: Lightning shadow clone, certain lightning techniques that require shadow clones, water vortex, wind styled rasengan etc) That aside I think the ninjutsu field is a great one to explore, I mean you've got techniques ranging from weapon combinations like shuriken enlargements to projecting your voice further or even concealing your presence from others. I think completing ninjutsu will allow me to expand in a lot more fields, mainly on my elemental and custom ones.

Off topic kind of: Since I've joined and read a few fights as well as explored people's biographies I've come to notice at least two flaws in our system that technically require us to clear ninjutsu to accomplish.

Number One - Our Global Moderator Caliburn has clearly stated several times that we do not get the walking on water or trees technique automatic. This means that we require ninjutsu training to learn them, correct? That being said, I think most if not all people without ninjutsu training are running around channeling chakra into the ground to stay more firm, walk on trees and even water. That technically, shouldn't be allowed correct?

Number Two - How are we allowed to create custom summoning techniques and summon them to the field without ninjutsu training? It clearly states or well.. "shows" that we require ninjutsu training to learn the summoning technique. So technically we shouldn't be summoning our animals without ninjutsu training, correct? Same as above, I've noticed nearly everyone summoning their creatures without said training.

An excellent response, and I completely understand your frustration of RPers unable to comprehend other jutsus because they haven't grasped the concepts (I often have to teach people Rasengan or Shadow Clone during another element).
You also speak of the aspect of creativity - which I believe is very important in RP, along with of course, having fun. This type of Ninjutsu (whilst it is a general term, it also applies to the other five elements) utilizes mainly your chakra and basic ninja weapons to wreak havoc on the battlefield.
Let's actually start simple, with the basics, which I believe are important.
Because there are no restrictions regarding ninja tools, we should all be able to use them as much as we can and as creatively as we can.
I'd like to teach you about them, if you may.
First, we have the kunai. What do you know of them?

Now that you mention that I also think its silly that we have ninjutsu techniques in our jutsu list such as "The user throws a barrage of kunais at the opponent". That basically means most of us at some point have used a jutsu we haven't been taught and may even have passed the three jutsu per turn rule. Though I think those are minor mistakes no one pays attention to.

Well its one of the most basic and used projectile weapons a ninja uses aside from the shuriken. It has a variety of uses like...

- Can be used as a very small "dagger" for close range combat.
- Medium to Long range weapon when thrown.
- Can be used in combination with things like flash bombs or smoke bombs.
- We've seen it used with elements like wind and lightning. Both elements are mainly used for increasing cutting capabilities as well as paralyzing with lightning.
- Another combination is attaching a wire to it which allows us to channel both lightning surges and even fire techniques like the one we saw sasuke use in the anime.
- We can even use them with things like fuuinjutsu like that technique we have in our list in which we cross two bladed objects and create a barrier that drains the opponents chakra.
- And of course, custom techniques. In fact, I've just recently (an hour or two ago) have submitted a custom wind technique that includes the usage of kunais to perform the technique.

Oh, trust me, the entire Ninjutsu thread needs some serious revision...there are so many things I can't teach on there either without proper noting.
Ah, very nice points, and I'd like to emphasize on one or two if you don't mind.
Firstly, say that you and your opponent were locked in close combat. Where would you strike with your kunai in order to deal him instant death.
Secondly, what how would you utilize a fake explosive tag attached on the hole on top of the kunai?

Well I don't know how "instant" my suggestions would be, but I think slicing the throat open and piercing the heart or lungs. Though either option in our RP is piratically impossible to accomplish without some form of paralysis beforehand to allow us to do it, seeing as everyone has minato reactions and sharingan slow motion eyes to detect every little physical movement.

Well its hard for me to find ways to utilize a fake explosive tag because the second the opponent reads about the tag they do anything in their power to take you down or get away from it. Maybe that might have answered your question? A fake tag would allow me to predict what my opponent will try to do after I've used it or tried to use it.

 

[Adachi]

Haha, yeah, sometimes I think the speed chart needs to be emphasized on, but indeed, it is very hard to implement such rules in RP.

Lastly, let's actual speak of this strategy a bit. It may be a bit new to you.
First off, let's talk a bit about psychological warfare. I enjoy using D-Rank jutsus mainly because it allows me to screw with my opponent's mind in general. For example, simple Haze Clones, mixed with actual Shadow Clones can really wreck with your opponent. They wouldn't know which is real or not, and it would result in serious confusion.
Same with explosive tags. You can trick them into thinking that the next one you toss is fake, then after that, it's real, but they'll think it's fake, so they won't move.
I'll derive into another concept from this, called cause and effect. For example, you used a Wind Jutsu to blow away the explosive tag, thus, I can follow up with a prepared fire move to disregard your Wind Jutsu, so that it overcomes it and is sent back at you two times stronger.
By taking the upper hand, you can juggle your opponent around and have them react the way you want to, as we are all forced to make moves and survive in a battle. This is most often used in chess, where it is necessary to be able to predict several moves ahead of the opponent.

Do you understand now?

Crystal clear ^_^

 

[Adachi]

Excellent. Definitely don't want you walking out of this training thread without learning anything new. xD
Next, let us discuss the shuriken.
What do you know of them?

Shuriken..hmmm...hmm... Ahhaa!!

The shuriken in the narutoverse is a very unique projectile. I say this because there are all types and sizes. We've got our regular hand sized shuriken that can be thrown directly forward or even at a circular motion. We've also seen it been attached to wire just like kunais but in a more effective way because their overall design allows them to wrap around their targets with more accuracy. We've got the wind-mill shuriken which is a medium sized shuriken that contains four blades like any other shuriken but slightly shaped in the form of a scimitar, and also able to be put away by sliding all blades together. The last shuriken I can think of is the one used by the magnetism release user in the manga. The giant four edged shuriken that was used as means of magnetism combinations allowing him to release such heavy/big projectile with ease. Oh and of course! Shurikens are also used with various ninjutsu, like the shadow shuriken technique which multiplies their physical properties or another technique that actually enlarges the shuriken. Last but not least, we've also witnessed shurikens being used in a very sneaky way by hiding a second one underneath the shadow of the first just like Kakashi versus Zabuza arc.

 

[Adachi]

Ah, definitely, I like your emphasis on their use and shape, as it allows them to take advantage of the air and become even deadlier due to their aerodynamic aspects.
You can also infuse them with different elements, much like Sasuke, or hide them in fireballs.s

Now, let's move on to the smoke bombs! What do you know of them?

I can't believe I completely forgot about the fire masking combos.... *_*

Well they can be attached to most projectiles to later detonate and block the view of the target. They can be thrown by hand, used on one's self to conceal your cover momentarily while you do something. Though blocking your own view isn't wise nor do I suggest doing unless you have something really tricky up your sleeve. I can't really think of anything else. Maybe smoke ninjutsu? Using the source of smoke created by the smoke bomb and later manipulate it? Not sure if thats allowed even on smoke using biographies.

Spoiler

Kk I'll be heading out for real this time xD time is burning as I sit on this computer its very late... xd

 

[Adachi]

Don't worry, I think your GMT may be around mine so I will consistently reply if I can. xD Even so, I update at least once per day.

You pretty much covered everything except for the fact of why this does not work on Doujutsu users.

Awesome ^_^

The only reason I can think of is because they would still see my chakra signature through the smoke?

 

[Adachi]

Pinpoint answer. ^_^
Alright, moving on. What do you know of the flash bomb?

 

[Hard]

Pinpoint answer. ^_^

Yay ^_^
The flash bomb is an object that can be detonated to release a blinding light. Just like the smoke bomb, flash bombs can be placed on thrown projectiles for medium to long range tactics. The most effective way I've seen flash bombs be used in our RP is to expand one's shadow when using a nara biography. I've seen people throw them behind their backs and detonating them, increasing their shadow's reach. Aside from that the only other way I can think of us simply blinding your opponent and maybe following it up with a blinding genjutsu that traps him in a dark place, or a sneak attack that has little to no sound. There are also those key tactics that you told me about, having fake flash bombs (like the tags).

 

[Adachi]

O_O All covered, excellent.
Now, the easiest way to remember this would be...
Smoke bomb = Cover.
Flash bomb = Opening to attack. Keep that in mind and the helpfulness of such tools.

Alright, take these two huge shurikens and observe them. Notice how they fit closely together and are the exact size and shape.
Toss them in such a way so that the second one is hidden in the shadow of the first.
What might be the purpose of such a jutsu?

Thank you ^_^

After hearing the instructions I grab a hold of both shurikens. I then reach into my pouch and drop a smoke bomb around my location. While doing so, I throw the first shuriken towards that nearby tree. Without much delay I also throw the second shuriken underneath the first aiming to hide it in the shadow of the first.

Well its used to trick the opponent but in our RP I don't see very useful ways to execute it. I mean, once they read we posted this jutsu they will use a wind technique or something to get away from he shuriken because they read and thus "know" what's actually coming. That being said, I still think it can be used in battle it just depends who your opponent is.

 

[Adachi]

Ah, yes, so let's be a bit more specific here.
If you had to aim this an opponent, consider the range and the place you direct it at.
1. Say we were at mid range, how long would the shuriken take to reach your opponent?
2. Where would you aim for the biggest effect?
