[Nin] Ninjutsu Training with Shinta
- Thread starter Xicer
- Start date
Ninjutsu is the result of any basic attack or defense that requires the use of chakra. Depending on the jutsu and the skill level of the wielder, hand seals to gather and concentrate chakra may also be needed. The range of Ninjutsu techniques can vary from simple transformations, to creating the moon in the most extreme case.
As I mentioned before, ninjutsu techniques require the use of chakra which is the driving energy and life force present in most shinobi. By using shape and/or nature transformations, different techniques and results can be expected.
Ninjutsu techniques can be in almost any form, such as raiton, suiton, doton, katon, and fuuton. There also exist crosses between these elements that open new techniques entirely, such as wood, lava, ice, gale, and dust styles.

Ninja tools are any and everything that can aid a ninja in their endeavors. This can include kunai, shuriken, paper bombs, ninja wire, lighters, shinobu, scrolls, and various weapons among other random items. Each of these have their own strengths and weaknesses which should be considered before use in any situation.
Ninja tools can hold a number of different abilities. Some can absorb chakra, like Samehada. Some can absorb ninjutsu, such as the Yata Mirror. And some can do things as simple as being infused with different forms of chakra, like how Asuma infused his bladed with wind chakra.
In the RP, ninja tools can be very useful tools. Using most ninja tools doesn't require the use of a turn, so they can be great when another aspect of distraction is needed for a combo comprising of 3 moves already. Because a ninja cannot use ninja tools not present in their ninja bag, we are required to post a list of the ninja tools that our characters carry on their bios.

There are many ways kunai knives can be used in battle. First, I should say that kunai have been shown to be of varying shapes and sizes among many different ninja. They can be thrown like normal kunai, or be held for hand to hand combat. They can be summoned from scrolls and have paper bomb explosives attached to them. Minato even uses special kunai for his Flying Thunder God technique. They are chakra infusable, which greatly increases their power, and can be used in conjuction with rope or various other ninja tools for various effects.
Oh, and now I am being told that another use for these wonder tools is regular yard work, such as mowing grass XD

Yes, it's great at doing chores suck as trimming the grass or even digging trenches xD A good tactic in battle is using kunai with fake tags to control where your opponent goes. Say you don't want them to run to their right, you toss two-three kunai with fake tags attached, aimed to hit the ground a metre or two in front of their position. Their reaction would be to move the other way to avoid the explosion. You might even put a real tag in the mix once in a while so they don't just keep running.
Now, shuriken. How do they work and how would you use them in battle?
Now, shuriken. How do they work and how would you use them in battle?
Shuriken are four pronged metal stars used for throwing. They have a hole in the middle so that one may throw them without being cut in the process. If thrown with enough accuracy, shuriken can be used to maim or trap enemies. The main advantage to using shuriken rather than kunai is that shuriken are notably faster. The drawback for this speed is the lack of power that each shuriken has.
There are also many ways that shuriken can be used in battle. They can be infused with chakra to improve their power, attached to rope for various reasons, or launched through the use of a special weapon. There are also techniques that utilize the use of the shuriken's shadow to conceal a more deadly threat, and techniques that summon numerous shuriken from a scroll.

You are completely fine, Sensai. I am only grateful to be receiving training! ^_^

Flash bombs are primarily used as red herrings. Diversions used to distract the enemy away from potentially life endangering activities. This can be used on the opponent, or on one's self. After use, a blinding light is cast within the immediate area, making normal eyes, Sharingan, and Rinnegan completely useless, considering all three are connected to the optic nerve, which operates based on light alone. Although this effect sounds incising, it only last a short amount of time, so if you want to accomplish something, you better do it fast. This is effective in scenarios where you want to lose sight of your enemy, allowing your to escape to be undetected. This is, of course, unless you are part of the Nara Clan, who would utilize this to create shadows to further their advantage.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Smoke bombs have the same effect, but are slower about it than flash bombs. They generally conceal the location of whomever it is cast upon, but that is not to say that they are to be solely used for personal gain. The gas/smoke that is concealed could be poisonous, if used by a medical ninja, or if constructed correctly could be used for sleep agents.

Also, don't forget that you can attach a smoke or flash bomb to a kunai (take care with the kunai and flash bomb), describe to me how you think you could come a kunai with a flash and then a smoke bomb.
Then senbon, describe them and compare to a kunai please.
Then senbon, describe them and compare to a kunai please.
Well, kunai could be used with flash/smoke bombs in many different ways. First: they could be connected directly to the kunai. This would ensure that the flash/smoke would effect the target area, containing your opponent, prohibiting their sight in general, along with your current whereabouts and actions. Next, they could be thrown on your own personal whereabouts, ensuring that your opponent cannot know what is happening in the target area. (This would be more accurate, since my opponent couldn't react effectively with free form, but it also limits the potential of these moves.) Finally, I could flash/smoke my opponents, blinding them of what is to come, then throw the kunai. This would help ensure a good hit.
Senbon are a bit different from the tools we have discussed thus far. They are essaentially needles, where as kunai are knives. They hold a potential to be much more accurate, but are less damaging than kunai as well. They can be dipped in poison by medical ninja, or used to hit vital spots by the same group. Because of their relative size to kunai and shuriken, they are harder to see and dodge, so they would be most effective with a flash bomb first.

Okay...
We've covered some ninja tools... now some jutsu applications of said jutsu.
These aren't your ordinary senbon, but instead smaller needles. Shizune used this but they were coated in poison... something you can't do unless you've completed med-school.
This is a very accurate jutsu as the needles give pin-point precision and your chakra gives them enough of a boost during the 'spitting' so that the needles rapidly hit your target.
Just rattle off some opinions and how you'd use this in battle; including combinations and how you'd see yourself countering this jutsu if someone used it against you.
Also cover some info on the differences between Senbon/needles and Kunai.
This requires two giant shuriken and a little slight of hand. The two shuriken are thrown at the same time, parallel to each other and the ground so that the undermost shuriken sits in the shadow of the uppermost. The top shuriken is mainly a distraction and it is the second one that strikes the target.
Perspective greatly aids in the use of this jutsu, if you understand what I mean by that, describe a situation that shows you understand.

Because of the small amount of total weight that each Senbon consist of, almost any technique could send them off their path making the technique useless. This leads me to think that this technique would be best used at short range, after using some sort of technique to block my opponents vision. For example, a jutsu that explodes between us, then shooting the needles through the smoke at short range. This would severely cut down on the amount of time that my opponent could use to counter the attack, hopefully leading to a hit. There are a lot of differences between kunai and needles, including the weight as mentioned before. Aside from that, needles are a lot faster than the knives, but do less total damage because of the lower surface area of the blade.

Trunks concentrates his doton chakra and produces an Earth clone, whom he instructs to run mid range away from him. Once the clone is in position, Trunks pulls two windmill shuriken from his ninja bag with one hand. Using a palm up side arm throw, Trunks slings the shuriken at his opponent. Because of the orientation that the shuriken have upon being released, one is just slightly above and ahead of the other, allowing the second to fall directly in the shadow of the first. The clone sends out a single mud shot to take care of the first shuriken, but the second remains unaffected and continues along its path. Now, out of time, the clone has no choice but to embrace the hit, as the shuriken splits him into top and bottom halves. The clone begins to reform, then crumbles back into Earth clumps as Trunks undoes the jutsu.

These are the remainder of the Shuriken based, D-rank ninjutsu:
You will need to charge your chakra into this shuriken before you throw it, else nothing will happen. What is so special about this jutsu, that might make you want to use it in battle? Could it have something to do with the change in size?
One standard Shuriken, with very thin, specially designed wire attached to it. Kakashi used this on Sasuke just before he left, or in the lead up to him leaving, to bind him to a tree.
This uses the element of surprise to catch your opponent off guard, how would you use this and how could you defend from this?

Description: With this technique a translucent string, both elastic and highly durable, is attached to a shuriken, making it possible to alter its path after having thrown it. An expert will have the ability to freely glide the shuriken in any direction with just a single movement of their fingertip. The first attack, challenging the enemy, is avoided and after a time-lag of several seconds, it will come from behind. Depending on the performance, the possible tactics can be infinite.

I see a couple of things with this jutsu that could be seen as special, so I will spout them off with reasons. First, you can change the size of the shuriken. This is great, because it throws off your opponent. By this, I mean that my opponent would first see a normal shuriken coming toward them, and would set up a defense accordingly. But then it would enlarge, which could cause problems for them unless they are prepared for it. Which leads me to the second point, the enlargment happens after you throw it. With this information, you can wait until the absolute last second to increase its size, proving for an untimely inaccurate counter.
____________________________________________
I would use this technique after placing my opponent under this jutsu:
This is because I could further disrupt my opponents senses this way. This is a shuriken that you can't see coming at you if it is from behind, so if it looks like they are being thrown from all around you (assuming my opponent realizes they are under genjutsu), which one is the real one? Maybe it's this one, maybe that one, it can't be that one because it flat out missed, is it that one? Maybe it-- JESUS CHRIST MY BACK! (A little dramatization for you)
My normal counter should work for this, which is an arbitrary elemental jutsu to send it (ninja tools in general), back in the direction it came. But I'm sure you're looking for more than that, so I will say sound would be my counter. Regardless of whether I see it coming at me, or back for me, I should be able to hear the wind rushing off the sides of it as it travels, know it is there, and counter accordingly.

Now for some Kunai based ninjutsu.
You'll need several kunai with pouches filled with explosive tags attached to them. As the pouched kunai hit the ground around your target, they will detonate and hurl up a large number of small, non-active, explosive tags. One final tagged kunai that will detonate in this shower of tags will detonate the entire pile... for a larger explosion.
Tell me your thoughts on this jutsu.
Pretty simple... throw groups of six kunai towards your target (three in each hand), several times. The large number of kunai will leave them on the defensive for you to ready another attack... or an ally to ready an attack.
(Sakura Fubuki no Jutsu) - Cherry Blossom Snow Storm Technique
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 10

Description: The user will hurl kunai with pouches attached at their target. Upon impact, the pouches explode, releasing small explosive notes. Due to the large number of kunai thrown, a shower of notes will rain down on the target. The user will then throw one final kunai with an active explosive note at the target. It will begin to burn, and by igniting the falling smaller notes it will cause a gigantic explosion.

The first technique can be very useful, but easily countered by a mindful opponent. What I mean by this is that being surrounded by the explosive tags is almost inevitable. The kicker is that you have to ignite the tags for them to be of any use at all. Now, this can either play into my hand or be my undoing, depending on my opponent. If my opponent tries to counter with a lightning or fire jutsu, the tags will be ignited by them, so I win. At the same time, if they were to use water or earth, they could block the spark from reaching the fuse so to speak. Water would be worse, because then the tags would become useless, where as an earth technique would let them fall, unharmed and still active, to the ground around my opponent. This could lead to later moves being aided by random explosions all around my opponent.
I really like the second jutsu as well, more for the team battle side of it though. You're basically giving your opponent the option, die to my kunai or die to their jutsu. It would make for a very good distraction as well.
Could we combine these jutsu to make a massive explosive radius rather than a moderate one? 0_o

By combining the two jutsu, it would be D+D= C-rank jutsu. However I don't think it wise to combine any form of explosive ninjutsu with one that spreads the explosion in a random and uncontrolled manner.
While Kunai and Shuriken are a common ninja tool, some often overlooked ninja tools are the simple rope and Makibishi.
By infusing chakra into a rope, you are able to effectively bind someone or something so that they are unable to escape using the E-rank Escape Skill technique. However, this can by broken by higher ranked chakra techniques...
Give your thoughts on this jutsu, when and where you might use this etc.
These must be deployed quickly and silently under the cover of a smoke bomb in order to ensure the proper effect has been achieved. The idea is so that your opponent spikes their feet while trying to move from their location, particularly useful against those who use running speed to their advantage.
How might you use this in battle, any combinations to assist in hiding the Makibishi or to boost their effectiveness?
These are Makibishi by the way, they are called caltrops in western culture:
