Asuma notices the sound of footsteps, as he gets up and notices a man.
"He must be my Sensei! Hey Sensei"
, Asuma remarks, as his sensei asks him to tell him everything he knows about Ninjutsu.
Closing his eyes for a moment, and recollecting his thoughts, he begins:
Ninjutsu
Ninjutsu, literally means, "Ninja Techniques", wherein, 'Nin' means Ninja and 'Jutsu' means techniques. In Narutoverse, ninjutsu requires the usage of 'chakra', which are specific points located in the human body. Essentially, Ninjutsu allows the user to perform techniques that usually cannot be performed by weapons or by simple physical attacks.
Simpler ninjutsu serving such tasks as transforming the user or allowing them to evade attacks. More complex ninjutsu manipulate one's surroundings or utilise the elements, respectively serving such tasks as healing others or manipulating nature transformations and shape transformations. Most of ninjutsu attacks require chakra and specific hand seals to allow to mould and manipulate chakra depending upon the specific handseals and amount of chakra used. And then there's elemental ninjutsu, which is of five types:

Chakra
Chakra, are specific points located in the human body. It is the moulding of physical and spiritual energy.
Once moulded, it can be channelled through the chakra circulatory system, which is to chakra as the regular circulatory system is to blood, to any of the 361 chakra points (called tenketsu) in the body. Through various methods, the most common of which is hand seals, the chakra can then be controlled and manipulated to create an effect that would not be possible otherwise.

Shape Transformation deals with controlling the form, movement, and potency of chakra. Nature Transformation usually deals with changing the physical properties of chakra into an element. There is also the Nature Transformation of Yin and Yang, which deals with changing the ratio of spiritual and physical energies within chakra.
A good way to build up chakra in the body is to spin it into a tight spiral. Whether to spin the chakra left or right is dependent on the way the user's hair grows, either to the right or left. An opponent can negate a technique by absorbing it and reversing the spin of the chakra within their own body.
Types
- Elemental Chakra i.e. Shape and Nature Manipulation/Transformation
- Senjutsu Chakra
- Tailed Beast Chakra
Rinnegan users have the ability to learn all Chakra types, as usually an average shinobi can learn only maximum 2-3 chakra types, depending on his affinity.
Additionally, Ninjutsu can be used in conjuction with Taijutsu to create Nintaijutsu techniques, for eg: The Fourth Raikage's Lightning Shield Armor.
