Well if you're not that'll be 3000 yen. Now cough it up before I kill your ass!

Humm... what I look forward to in Ninjutsu... Well for starters, I'm definitely not looking forward to Shadow Clones. But if I had to sum it up, I guess something along the lines of better chakra control which I know ninjutsu offers, but apart from that I'm not entirely sure what to say. Not every technique is even applicable in this day and age and a lot of them don't really seem all that good. But I'm hoping to find that gem in the rough which is amazing in every single way possible.

You make it sound like you already know what that is. :| *cough cough* Haze clones, *cough*.

Alright, with the introduction of this type of Ninjutsu, it is a basic term that also contains the basic five in it, but what you must keep in mind that this Ninjutsu is about the manipulation of pure chakra. Such an example of this would be what you said, such as cloning and summoning contracts. It is the fundamental, whereas you focus on manipulating raw chakra in conjunction with Ninja Tools, which I feel is very much underestimated these days. So, I want to talk about Ninja Tools a bit, if you don't mind. Generally, there are no restrictions regarding Ninja Tools, so use them as much and as creatively as possible.
Starting with the kunai, what do you know of them?

Only noobs use Haze Clones. :| Everyone knows it's all about the Killing Intent and Shadow Clones and Rasengan.

But yes, the ever-so-beautiful kunai. I believe this weapon is one of the standard shinobi weapons which almost everyone carries on their person in quite a few numbers. It's simply a knife given how sharp it is with the blades and the pointed tip which is useful for stabbing. Kunai are often used alongside with an explosive tag wrapped around the hilt or attached via string to the small loop on the end. The design of the kunai is so that it has an aerodynamic feel to it and thus travels incredibly smoothly through the air. The loop on the end can also be used with Ninja Wire in order to set traps, or with other weapons like flash bombs. Most people wield the kunai with a reverse grip, I'd assume just because it's easier to defend against incoming weapons since then it would be like using a fist, but I personally see it as holding it that way which doesn't so much obstruct hand seals.

Good description. On the design of kunai as well, Shurikens actually have more of an aerodynamic design, but we will get to that later. However, kunais are meant for one per hand, and can be used for close range combat. The reverse grip is a nice touch, and you are correct, I also see Kakashi do this a lot in the manga. Furthermore, by releasing a full wave of kunais at someone, it distracts their vision of sight, as they will be focused on what is before them. Within a battle, it is important to know where your opponents focus will be. By using flashy moves, you can get them to stare upon that only while you cook up another move that can flank them from the back. Naturally, by using this jutsu, their attention would be focused on the kunais, so keep this in mind the next time you battle. It is a good distraction, so use it to the best of your ability.

Now, what do you know of Shurikens?

Shurikens, as nonchalant as they appear are as you said, more aerodynamic than kunai. I think this would be more due to the fact that they are more shaped like a flying disc or something like that idk. They are mostly four-pointed stars with a small hole in the middle usually for finger slots, and can be stacked on top of each other in that way allowing several to be thrown at the same time. Sometimes the design can be different with up to six points usually for added death. Unlike kunai though, they are much lighter which makes for easier handling both throwing it and taking the hit. Because of this, shuriken aren't so strong individually and as such they're much easier to take a hit. Shuriken are stronger in large numbers as well, and such "flashy" moves are much more appropriate.

Streaming lightning or even fire through threads like what Sasuke did, are both great ways to use Shurikens. Wind might be the best option.
As you said so yourself, Shurikens are designed to travel quickly and efficiently through the air, gathering force so that the edges become particularly sharp as it hits its opponents.
The easiest way to use these are either a swarm of Shurikens, which act like little annoying bugs, and can easily block your opponents field of vision (as they will be focused upon these weapons coming at them), or to tie them upon strings and manipulate your opponents into being tied up in them.
They are light, easy to handle, and you can hold a bunch at once, unlike a kunai.
The next ninja tool is the smoke bomb.
Explain to me how you would use it in a battle and what it's prime use it for. Also, which Doujutsu can render it useless?

Dun wanna!

...

>_>
<_<

Smoke Bombs are used in battle generally to conceal one's presence. Well not presence, per se as almost everyone can just "feel" where someone is even if they are blinded by smoke and can rely on other senses, especially those from Kirigakure who are used to such conditions with the mist or the Inuzuka who have heightened senses, naturally. Also I believe it's more used as an escape mechanism than something used to engage on someone unless you're graves but yes, I wouldn't use it to try and go in on someone unless I had a Byakugan or something which could see through the smoke it creates.
So it's the Byakugan which renders it useless, as it renders everything useless and is thy holy lord and savior.

I have a question, would you be able to infuse the smoke bomb with chakra, elemental or not to maybe compress it and cause the bomb to erupt into something bigger than it would usually be like? Or maybe infuse it with Fire chakra and create a hot smoke, almost like ashes?

:| Dude, I swear Graves has aimbot hacks on and an unlimited amount of Smoke Bombs stuffed in his big ass pockets somewhere.
Naw, I don't think so. That's a special circumstance, or maybe like even the element Smoke. Also, Sharingans can see chakra so it wouldn't work on them.

Lastly, the flash bomb.

Shoot. And no, it is not Lux's ultimate.

So shouting "Demacia!" while using a flash bomb wouldn't make it stronger? xD

Flash bombs are similar to smoke bombs except they emit light instead of smoke. Naturally light travels a lot further than smoke does, so the range is far more effective. Additionally, the further away someone is the less it affects them. It's not going to affect people as much if they're well equipped with sunglasses or anything like that riot graves op, or any other thing which prevents light from getting through: blindfolds, etc. This also doesn't affect people with their Byakugan activated since they can't be blinded through such menial tactics.

Those of the Nara clan can both benefit and be disadvantaged from this object greatly, depending on how it's used. A lot of Nara will use this behind them, creating a blinding light to extend the length of their Shadow Imitation technique. Throwing it behind you is the best tactic as you don't get blinded by the light yourself, and you're able to strike.

Riot Graves too OP.

You are precisely correct. The easiest way to remember this is:
Smoke bomb = Cover.
Flash bomb = Opening to attack.
Throwing a flash bomb behind yourself is the fastest way to blind an opponent. Keep that in mind and use it often. I like to start off fights with it, to be honest, because the throw is a quick and efficient act. I also like to follow up with some a particular Ninjutsu that you will learn soon.

So for this first jutsu, proceed to take these two shurikens and note how they are similar to one another. Then, throw them in such a way that the second one is hidden in the shadow of the first...
What might be the purpose of this?
