excelent.Shinobis use Ninjutsu in various ways and styles. Ninjutsu litteraly means Ninja Technique. All the Ninja Techniques fall under this name.
You have basic Ninjutsus, which are learned at the academies in the Hidden Villages. These can be various things, like a clone or a replacement technique, or even techniques with which you can duplicate or transform a certain item or attribute (Like Naruto with Henge no Jutsu who was changed in the Giant Shuriken vs Zabuza).
Next to that you have 5 basic forms of element manipulation. Every person has an affinity that is greatest. This is wind for Naruto, and obviously Lightning for Kakashi, as two obvious examples.
The five basic elements are:
As I said before, a person has a main affinity, but he can learn to manipulate others aswel over time (it is believed that 3 is the maximum amount of affinities you can manipulate, without a KG of some kind). You can change the intensity and the way you use this element through focussing chakra into certain points or ways. This brings me to Shape Manipulation.
[*]Fire / Katon
[*]Water / Suiton
[*]Lightning / Raiton
[*]Earth / Doton
[*]Wind / Fuuton
Shape Manipulation gives you the ability to change your Ninjutsu's style (obviously >.>) but also gives you the ability to make new attacks with simply chakra (as seen in Naruto's spammove "Rasengan").
There are also ranks in ninjutsus, based on the difficulty level, going from E to S and beyond (see Fuuton: Rasenshuriken).
I hope this is good enough, sempai!
*as you make the 3rd step you suddenly fall*Right.
I slowly gather up chakra in my feet, keeping the amount constant and making sure it doesnt fluxuate, so I don't fall in the water. Once I feel confident enough that the chakra in my feet is built up nicely, I try to walk on the water.
(I'm not sure if you're the kind of sensei/sempai that let's people finish by letting themselves succeed or not, so i'll let you tell me the result my description).
*very good*Alrighty!
I get up from out of the water and start to put the chakra in my feet again. This time op keeping one amount of chakra in each feet, I keep adding chakra to my feet constantly. I think of nothing else, only visualising myself running over water.
Good. Tell me how you feel (keep concentrating)I stop walking and take a meditative position. I start to concentrate on the water, feeling its properties. Once I feel how the water flows, I let my body feel the water and let the two combine. Once I feel enough unison, I let my chakra infuse with the water all around my body.
great I think you are ready to continue with the jutsusI feel that the water is heavy and can take on any shape. It takes any course it wants, never restricting its movements. It is a very light element. It feel soothing, like it is healing and refreshing me at the same time. It also feels as if the water could crush me at any time, with crushing speed and power.
I keep focussed on the water while I tell you this, making sure it keep the shape around my body.
*activates 2t sharingan*I go off the water on to the land near the lake. I perform the handseal that you have shown me before, and start focussing the suiton chakra as I did before around my body, only this time I let it disperse into the air. I let the suiton chakra mingle with the air particles. I try to put as much chakra into the air, in hopes of thickening the mist enough so your sharingan doesn't see through it.
very good.Damn your Sharingan, damn them all!
With a bit of rumbling I start to concentrate again. I repeat the from before, remembering myself what the properties of the Suiton Chakra was from when it was around my body. I send out more Suiton Chakra than I did before, sending it into the air around me.
