"From my understanding ninjutsu is the weaponized form of ninshu which was created by The Sage of Six Paths but that's another story. In modern time we shinobi use hand seals to thread, manipulate, and release chakra in various forms against our opponent's. More advanced jutsu use various chakra natures to add elemental effects but I believe I will be learning ninjutsu basics from you sensei."

"What do you know about Ninjutsu?"
Records everything that had been said. "No questions Sensei."That's good.
The student knew quite a bit, however his reply was a bit lacking. Vex prepared to give him some of his own knowledge.
There is no such thing as elemental ninjutsu. You simply mould chakra in a particular way, so that it takes on certain characteristics of an element. For example, by making your chakra vibrate at high speeds, you get raiton chakra. It's just simply manipulating your chakra in advanced ways to create elements.
Chakra is the combination of spiritual and physical energy which exists in our bodies. This physical energy exists within every single cell of the body, and can be honed through general exercise. The physical energy, is like the yang. The life giving physical energy that is required for life, the first side of the coin so to speak. On the other side, is the Spiritual energy that comes from within. This energy, like the Yin, is dependant on the user's own imagination. Thus, it can be honed through study, and meditation. All living things contain chakra, although Shinobi can manipulate it and have weaponised it. This chakra constantly flows through the body, through the chakra circulatory system. This chakra circulatory system is, to a certain extent, connected to our own vital organs. This was shown when Neji Hyuuga attacked chakra points near the heart, yet did a lot of damage to the heart itself. It's somewhat based on the circulation of blood in real life.
Chakra itself is rarely seen, although when performing extremely powerful condensed jutsu (like Raikiri), charka can be seen to an extent with the naked eye. In most other situations however, it requires someone to have a sensory, which will allow them to see the chakra quite clearly, even being able to distinguish between different people. In addition, as pointed out by Karin chakra seems to have a reliance upon the user's own emotions. For example, when Sasuke was angry and upset, Karin described his chakra as 'Dark' and 'Intense'.
Now as I've said before, our spiritual energy is dependant upon our own imagination and knowledge. While the Physical energy, depends strongly on our bodies' phsycial condition. So in order to use Ninjutsu, these energies must be in perfect balance. The user uses the Spiritual Energy to think and envision what he wants to do, and then use his Physical energy to give it shape and actually make it happen. By using handseals as a medium, we are able to then perform feats which are normally extremely difficult to do or even impossible, such as walking up a wall. This is called Ninjutsu. Now, Ninjutsu stems from Ninshu, which was what the sage wanted to use in order to bring people together, connecting them. Instead, it was used to bridge the physical and spiritual energies, and weaponised by people who became known as Ninja or Shinobi.
There are two ways to mold chakra in order to perform Ninjutsu techniques. Shape Manipulation, which manipulates the form of raw chakra in order to aid us in battle, and to accomplish basic things. This can also be applied to objects, through the principle of chakra flow. That is enhancing the properties of ninja tools, and weapons by infusing them with our own chakra. For example, Asuma Sarutobi uses this in order to enhance the properties of his knuckle knives. By infusing them with chakra their reach, cutting power, and durability are all increased. The other way of molding chakra, is nature manipulation which acts to change the actual properties of chakra itself through various means. For example, by causing your chakra to vibrate at high frequencies, you create Raiton chakra which has various numbing and paralsying properties. One can even mold two elemental natures at the same time to create a new elemental nature with some of the properties of both elements, an example would be lava release which is a combination of earth and fire.
Questions?
Eyes grow huge and jaw drops as the scroll opens revealing a hefty list of techniques. After the brief pause I begin my training, I first focus chakra into my mouth calling needles to gather inside and starts spitting the out into the air. I then throw a windmill shuriken in the same direction followed by another windmill shuriken hidden in the shadow of the first shuriken making it appear that only one shuriken was thrown into the distance. Dropping smoke as the shuriken fly I toss makibishi onto the ground; as the smoke clear I begin kick said makibishi of the mountain "I may need to step there later." I summon a clone only to bind it with a black chakra infused rope, as the clone begins to cuss me out I throw a windmill shuriken at him and with my chakra I cause it to grow send the clone flying off the mountain. As it screams in fear I throw several kunai at it causing it to disappear. I finally throw a shuriken with a thin durable, flexible thread attached and begin to maneuver it around my body like a yo yo. "As for your questions I will address them in the order asked. Using jutsu like these are ways to help maneuver and manipulate the battle to your advantage. Using jutsu based attacks verses the free form makes them because the chakra involved in each attack makes them harder to defend or evade without the use of another jutsu. Usage of these seem to fall under supplementary or diversionary tactics in my opinion but if well timed or used in skilled hands all of these could be lethal. Questions I do have are in regards to the first just. How do the needles get into your mouth and how is it possible without your opponent noticing? Is the shadow shuriken able to be seen or sense by dojutsu users or sensory ninja? Can certain shinobi see the thread on the last justu? For example Uchiha?"(Fukumi Hari) - Hidden Needles

Now these jutsu all utilize ninja weapons. Thus, they fall under the broad category of Bukijutsu, or weapon techniques. They are all dependant upon your use of basic tools, so it's important to mention that your bio carries these weapons. Some of these jutsu require chakra such as the giant shuriken technique. That's because they either enhance the damage of the weapons, or apply some effect tk them that can't normally be done. Now a lot of these techniques can be done with freeform, so what's the use of using a jutsu? If they can be done freeform, why waste the jutsu slot to perform them? And finally, in what type of situation would you use this type of technique? Perform and analyze them all please . Ask questions btw, if you have them xD.
I like the way Dean trains meh but you could just say you saw me perform all those and they all looked good xDOkay I got a different approach than Vex with Nin xD So should we do RP style again, or just analyze the techniques and discuss?
ooc: Le sighLife would be too easy then!
Dean emerges from a dark portal once more, his Nekura cloak over his shoulders and a black bag on his back. He was training so many students these days, but somehow, he had trained this kid several times now. Keji had become a familiar face, and someone Dean didn't mind training.
"Hey, Keji! Good to see you again. So it seems you covered the basis of Ninjutsu with the Snake, I mean, Vex over there. We'll start with the techniques, since most of the information has been covered, and weapons we can cover later on, or as we come into contact with 'em. Anyway, let's start off. I simply want a small analysis on a technique I describe, so it'd be easier. You can perform it as well."

Description: The user is able to call forth needles into their mouth and then spit them at their opponent with great accuracy.
"Now, as you can see, this technique is quite straightforward. Using your chakra, you will materialize some needles in your mouth, which can be shot towards the opponent, like you spit a passer-by. This is done with great accuracy and precision, allowing you to hit vital areas, or even just sensitive areas like the eyes. Although not very damaging, it can be hindering in a fight, and of course, its just close range, because that's where its difficult to dodge."
Keji pulls out a bottle of whiskey after hearing what Dean had said, Thank you Dean-o. Keji then listens to what Dean had to say about the technique Keji begins to analyze."Hmm, perform and analyze the the ones B rank and above, yeah? So in that case, we'll just analyze the basics (from now till B ranks start). Other than that, good job, here you go."

"Next is a technique which requires the usage of a Giant Windmill Shuriken. You will launch it towards the opponent, and then quickly throw another one, and by using chakra, you will hide the second one within the shadow of the first. This would obviously surprise the opponent, and allow you to hit them with the shuriken. Best performed under the guise of some smoke or mist, so the opponent doesn't see the second one thrown. You know what to do."
Dean says, as he crosses his arms and waits.
Keji crosses his arms then puts on hand on his chin."Possible indeed. Good job."

Description: Kanashibari no Jutsu is a simple Ninjutsu technique used to temporarily bind an animal (or animals). With the target frozen in place, the ninja can either take the opportunity to attack or to retreat. It can only be used against animal (summons or not) and works by forcefully using your chakra to restrain the summon physically by holding it in place. It can, however, be broken by outside means or brute force, making it less effective against bigger summons like boss summons or similar.
Note: lasts only as long as the user is focusing on the target to sustain it.
"A weird technique where you will use chakra to bind an animal in place, most likely a summon. This requires you to focus on the animal in question, and stay concentrated on it. This also just works on small animals/summons, and not large ones and as such, can also be broken by outside means like when you are distracted or disrupted. Pretty cool for holding small summons if you have to."
Killer intent if used to strike fear into the target(s). This is done in two ways one being if the target is a shinobi rank below you, it would cause them to hesitate to attack, stumble or mess up weaving a hand seal depending on your proximity to them. The other is if the target(s) are 2 or more shinobi ranks below you then the intent could cause them to see nightmarish visions of their death or even completely paralyze them. This technique is often believed to be a genjutsu but in truth, it is simple you imposing your will onto the target via presence. The effects of killer intent are varied depending on range and amount of targets you are trying to effect. To break out of one's intent, you would have to cause yourself severe pain to one's self, use a mind cleansing technique or impose your own killer intent upon the caster. I would personally only use this technique in mid to close range as it is more effective the closer you are to the target. Also, would probably only use it in one v one battle so you can focus all that intent on one target for maximum effectiveness."Pretty much, and would work great if a clone could do it."

Description: Killing Intent pertains to the ability of the user giving off their pure killing intention and having it affect their opponent and others around them up to the point of paralyzing them. When the Killing Intent is particularly strong, it can even give the victim visions of their own gruesome death, nausea, pain, etc. This can cause the Killing Intent to be confused with a genjutsu, despite not being a genjutsu at all; simply a showcase of intention and power. The target will feel as if facing an overwhelming enemy and, even if not a sensor, will suddenly feel the pressure of the users chakra and its magnitude, making the effect that much more dramatic. To effectively be used, the user needs to focus on his target and concentrate on the killing intent towards it, meaning that one must see the target and be focused on it. The strength of the Killing Intent is dependent on many factors and go through several levels. If a difference in rank smaller than 2 ranks exist, the enemy will feel only the pressure and the ominous presence of their dark intentions. Its enough to lose your grasp on a weapon or stay clinched to it (depending on the situation) or even to hesitate in an attack, stumble or mess up a handseal, all depending on the situation and proximity. The effect is small and normally not that significant but can be effectively used to pressure enemies into making a mistake. If a difference of 2 ranks or more exist, the enemy will be frozen, almost unable to move as the overwhelming killing intent dominates their own conscious and riddles them with nightmarish versions of death. The paralyzation gradually weakens as time passes and can only be maintained while the user is focused on the target. The further away the target, the weaker it is and it can only fully paralyze a target within short range. Similarly, the more targets one focuses on, the weaker the effect is in each one (divinding the effects equally between the number of targets). Lastly, the stronger the user is in relation to the target, the stronger the effect will be. The target can counter Killing Intent directed at it through pain, "mind cleansing" techniques or their own Killing Intent.
Note: Intensity of technique depends on the rank of the user, distance to target and number of targets one is focusing on
Note: Can only be used once
Note: Lasts only while the user is focusing on it and while focusing on it the user can't mold chakra
"This technique is quite intense, yet useful in a sense. I want you to read through the scroll, and give me an analysis. Its just one of those techniques I want my students to read through on their own, and be sure they understand it, since its uses are quite many yet many fail to use it effectively due to not really understanding the concept behind it."
Advantage, of this jutsu, would be the diversion that it causes. This diversion allows the user to follow up with other attacks unnoticed and is a perfect cover to use Illusion Technique: Flower Petal Escape effectively trapping your target in a genjutsu without them knowing it."Indeed, it's a great way to start off a fight as well."

"One of my favorite techniques, despite its feminine effects. Using your chakra, you will create a swarm of cherry blossom petals to surround the opponent, and swirl around them. This causes confusion and obscures the opponent's vision, and also allows you to strike them. Combine this with that Genjutsu technique I taught you, and you have yourself the perfect diversion."
