How many times do I have to explain this?

The term "plot" in this sense does not mean "the Plot," it refers to an event or ability that should and would not exist if not for the continuation of the Plot.

Ex. How did Naruto defeat Kakuzu, a 100 year old man with experience of equal length, while he was in a long-range mode specifically designed to counteract Naruto's current assault? Because in order for the Plot to continue, Naruto couldn't lose.

That's "plot." It's not a hard concept.

When someone that you know that was not supposed to die or die easily as they did.. Like the Akatsuki.. It had to be something like plot no jutsu. When Itachi got sick. Plot no jutsu. However Hashirama died. PLOT NO JUTSU.

some people might say it by meaning : something out of character happens so something can be prolonged .
Meaning- something uncharacteristically happens when the usual or expected should have happened.

example: Sasuke has been using fire so much in this battle , but hasn't used Kirin again yet.
Plot no jutsu: they say Kirin was just plot to use against Itachi (yata/susano'o) and never be used again .. (kirin isn't really important)

However, Kirin is nature and nature has been used all throughout this battle by sage mode users , so Kirin doesn't have a chance of being used when its being absorbed by others the whole time. :)


Really ... plot no jutsu is just a cheesy moment in the story to keep someone or something alive ..... or to explain why something that logically (to the story) could -should- have happened , but didn't happen.

^^^This here should end this thread.Plot no Jutsu is just a term used for narutobase and naruto forums.Deus ex machina is the proper term, meaning a unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly resolved by the contrived and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability or object.This happens a lot throughout the naruto series.

Everything that happens in the manga is plot and it's Kishimoto trying to use all his bit characters and their abilities to get through A to B, this 'plot no jutsu' is a simplification of when Kishimoto doesn't quite convince his audience because the situation wasn't very plausible and it's way too apparent this situation and the outcome was to further the plot. People misuse the term when something happened in a chapter they didn't like but this is the wrong use of it.

I mean everything furthers the plot but it's Kishi's job as a storyteller to disguise that fact, something he does 90% of the time. And then you have Naruto trick an experienced survivalist ninja capable of blowing up the entire forest. Or Itachi pull a never before seen technique out of thin air and defeat Kabuto with it. You have to solve problems convincingly otherwise you ruin the suspension of disbelief and start using deus ex machinas to fight your battles.

The simple answer is that you're wrong and you don't understand what people mean when they say it.
