NinjutsuName: Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: E
Description:
This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach, leaving the opponent open to a counter-attack. Explosive tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise, which Sasuke has done twice in the anime. Fundamentally, all ninja know this technique.
The anime has a number of other objects being used for this jutsu, such as a boulder, mud, a scarecrow, and even a large rolled-up carpet. These items are usually nowhere in sight, suggesting that they are merely gags meant to lighten up the situation and not an actual part of the jutsu. Additionally, the normal practice of switching places with a section of log is done in several places that have no such thing anywhere nearby.
This technique is sometimes referred to as the Art of Projection ("Utsusemi no Jutsu") in other manga and anime series.
Name: Kakuremino no Jutsu (Cloak of Invisibility Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: E
Description:
This jutsu allows a ninja to take a cloak or a piece of cloth and blend into an object, making them invisible. Konohamaru uses this technique constantly in the beginning of the Naruto series to try and fool Naruto Uzumaki, but uses poor disguises (square rocks with eyeholes, cloaks that are incorrectly patterned or the wrong way round, or simply not covering himself completely), thus betraying the illusion. In the anime, Naruto has been somewhat practical at using this jutsu a couple of times.
Name: Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: E
Description:
This technique creates intangible clones of the user. The clones are simply illusions and will dissipate when they come into contact with something. The illusions can be seen through by the Byakugan and the Sharingan. A person with normal eyes can also distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.).
Name: Jibaku Fuda: Kassei (Exploding Tag: Activate)
Type: Supplementary
Range: All Ranges
Rank: E
Description:
Utilizing chakra, the user is able to activate the explosion mechanism of a distant bomb tag. The exploding tags that the Third Hokage used were different than the usual bomb tags, being yellow in color instead of white with a red border.
Name: Nawanuke no Jutsu (Rope Escape Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: E
Description:
A basic jutsu taught at the Konoha Ninja Academy, this jutsu allows a ninja to free themselves if they have been tied up.
Name: Oiroke no Jutsu (Sexy Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: E
Description:
This is simply a Transformation Technique used to transform the user into a beautiful, nude woman (or a woman in a bathing suit, as seen in episode 177 and the Naruto video games). Naruto uses it to distract his instructors, sometimes leading to an exaggerated nosebleed by the victim, and it is indeed annoyingly effective; even the Third Hokage swooned when Naruto used it on him. Naruto was forced to use this jutsu in order to receive training from Jiraiya.
A variant of this technique is the Harem Technique, which uses varying numbers of shadow clones in combination with the technique to produce multiple clones of a nude woman.
Name: Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: E
Description:
This jutsu allows the user to assume the appearance of another person, animal, or object. This is one of the basic jutsu taught at the Konoha Ninja Academy. Fundamentally, all ninja know this jutsu.
Name: Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short to Mid 0-10m
Rank: D
Description:
This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily boost the user's reflexes. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance between the user and their intended destination. Shisui Uchiha, one of the most talented Uchiha, was feared as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" ("Shunshin no Shisui"), likely referring to this technique.
The Body Flicker technique has various variations among the different hidden villages, all of which involve some extra element aside from the movement itself. The extra element is usually some sort of substance used to distract the opponent, such as leaves or sand. Gaara, for instance, uses the "Sand Body Flicker" (Suna-Shunshin), which uses sand to cover his movements. Other varieties include the "Mist Body Flicker" (Kiri-Shunshin), "Water Body Flicker" (Mizu-Shunshin), and "Leaf Body Flicker" (Konoha-Shunshin).
Name: Tanuki Neiri no Jutsu (Feigning Sleep Technique)

Name: Kawara Shuriken (Roof Tile Shuriken)
Type: Offensive
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: D
Description:
This jutsu is similar in principle to the Manipulating Attack Blades jutsu, but uses spinning tiles instead of regular weapons. In addition to being able to control the tiles remotely, the user can pressurize the tiles with chakra to make them far stronger than normal.

Name: Tobidogu (Projectile Weapons)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: C
Description:
In order to store and use items or weapons that the user would never be capable of carrying normally, the user can keep them contained within summoning scrolls. Puppets commonly have such scrolls attached to hidden compartments to produce extra arms and other similar features. Like the Summoning Technique, a small donation of blood is required to summon the items.
Name: Utsusemi no Jutsu (Projection Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: All Ranges
Rank: C
Description:
Using this jutsu, the user can project their voice from various points in a specific area in a manner similar to ventriloquism. The user does not need to speak to transmit the sound, so tracking them by sound is impossible. Those in the area where the voice is being projected at will hear a resonating echo, as well as a more ominous undertone.
Projection Technique is only known as a jutsu in the Naruto anime. It was first used in the Naruto manga by Zabuza Momochi and Orochimaru with no name. In addition, this technique has never been given an entry name in the databooks, which more than likely means it is more of a skill than a jutsu, much like walking up walls or walking on water using chakra.
Name: Joro Senbon (Sprinkling Needles)
Type: Offensive
Range: Mid 5-10m
Rank: C
Description:
After tossing a needle-filled umbrella into the air, this jutsu can be used to fire a barrage of hundreds of needles from sockets in the umbrella. The needles come at the enemy at Mach speed and can surround them from all directions. Chakra is utilized to control and increase the accuracy of every needle, making them impossible to dodge or evade. In the manga, it's said that the needles are capable of piercing through five millimeters of steel, yet they are not powerful enough to get past Gaara's Shield of Sand.
Name: Kyomeisen (Vibrating Sound Drill)
Type: Offensive
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: C
Description:
This jutsu involves Dosu's Melody Arm, a device used to amplify and control the sound waves from arm movements, to attack his opponent's sense of balance.

Name: Fubaku Hojin (Sealed Bombs Square Release)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: C
Description:
This jutsu uses an array of explosive tags in a manner similar to the Barrier Encampment Method, but the tags are activated manually by the user instead of exploding once the target enters the trap. Once the trap is active, the tags will explode if the target attempts to move. Others, however, can enter with no trouble, and the user can shut off the tags.
Name: Hachi Senbon no Jutsu (Thousand Bee Stings Technique)
Type: Offensive
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: C

Rank: B
Description:
Using this jutsu, the user can merge with another object and take on its properties to avoid any damage. In the manga, Orochimaru uses this to merge with a tree just before his battle with his former student, Anko Mitarashi. He, however, does not give it a name.
Name: Kekkai Hojin (Barrier Encampment Method)
Type: Offensive
Range: Depends on where tags are placed
Rank: B
Description:
This jutsu is performed by placing four exploding tags in an array around a designated area. The tags are then set, forming an invisible barrier around the area. Should anyone pass the barrier, the tags will activate, creating a massive explosion capable of killing inattentive ninja.
Name: Kurohigi Kiki Ippatsu (Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot)
Type: Offensive
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: B
Description:
To perform this jutsu, Kankuro's opponent must be trapped in the torso of Kuroari. After this is accomplished, Karasu separates into about eight components, each with a sharp blade. Kankuro guides the separate pieces into the slits in Kuroari's torso, impaling the victim inside. The name of this secret technique is a play on a popular Japanese toy "Kurohige Kiki Ippatsu", Known in America as "Pop-up Pirate," in which the goal of the toy is to stick little plastic swords into a barrel to make the pirate in the center jump out. In the second Naruto movie, Kuroari can do this technique alone using Black Secret Technique Machine Two Shot.
Name: Chakra Kyuin Jutsu (Chakra Absorption Technique)
Type: Unknown
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: B
Description:
This jutsu allows the user to absorb the physical and spiritual energy of an opponent. The user doesn't have to actually touch the opponent, since it is also possible to use it through other media, as Jirobo did with his Earth Release Barrier: Dungeon Chamber of Nothingness. The only necessary condition is some medium through which chakra can be channeled.
The Chakra Absorption Technique is not truly considered a jutsu since it has never been given an entry in any of the databooks, but more of a special ability; however, it is not considered a kekkei genkai ability, either.
Name: Konbi Henge (Combination Transformation)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: B
Description:
An advanced form of the Transformation Technique, the Combination Transformation transforms two users into one being. One user usually provides the chakra while the other performs the necessary hand seals. Naruto uses this with Gamabunta in their fight against Gaara's full Shukaku form to become a giant fox. Kiba and Akamaru use a variation of this technique in their fight against Sakon and Ukon, transforming themselves into a giant two-headed wolf. The Sound Four used this during the Chunin Exam to disguise themselves as the Kazekage's two bodyguard attendants (two in each).
Name: Shikon no Jutsu (Dead Soul Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short to Mid 0-10m
Rank: B
Description:

Name: Shishienjin (Four Violet Flames Battle Encampment)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Mid 5-10m
Rank: B
Description:
This jutsu creates a box-like barrier around an area defined by the four users of it. Anything that touches the barrier will burst into red flames. As long as the users of the jutsu remain active and unharmed, this barrier can never be broken. In addition to the outside barrier, the Sound Four were also able to create an additional inner barrier around themselves, thus ensuring that the barrier would never be unwillingly broken. Those using the technique seem to be able to touch the barrier with no problem.
Name: Sen'eitajashu (Hidden Shadow Many Snakes Hand)
Type: Offensive
Range: Short to Long 0-15m
Rank: B
Description:
This jutsu is similar to the Hidden Shadow Snake Hand, but with far more snakes. In addition, these snakes can stretch to much greater lengths.
Name: Kage Shuriken no Jutsu (Shadow Shuriken Technique)
Type: Offensive
Range: Mid to Long 5+ M
Rank: B
Description:
The user of this technique throws multiple large shuriken in such a way that the first shuriken hides the subsequent ones by blocking the line of sight. To the target, it appears as if only one shuriken was thrown.
Sasuke first used this technique against Zabuza Momochi. When he used it, he referred to the technique as "Wind Demon Shuriken, Shadow Windmill", which in the English version was dubbed as "Demon Wind Shuriken, Windmill of Shadows". His version used a transformed Naruto as the second shuriken, creating an additional surprise attack after Zabuza avoided the first.
In the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja series, Naruto employs the above jutsu on his own.
Name: Hari Jizo (Needle Guardian)
Type: Offensive and Defensive
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: B
Description:

Name: Dokugiri (Poison Mist)
Type: Offensive
Range: Short to Mid 0-10m
Rank: B
Description:
Using this jutsu, the user can create and blow a toxic gas from their mouth.
Name: Nan no Kaizo (Soft Physique Modification)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short to Mid 0-10m
Rank: B
Description:
Originally developed for spying activities, this technique can be done after some surgery and actual body modification. The user dislocates their joints then controls their softened body with chakra, allowing them to stretch and twist any part of their body at any angle, elongating and even coiling around their opponent. This can also be used to make the user's body more malleable and snakelike. Orochimaru can do this without surgical modification thanks to his various forbidden jutsu. In addition, his version allows him to stretch his body parts well beyond their normal length.
Name: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: A
Description:
Similar to the Clone Technique, this jutsu creates clones of the user. Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. Unlike other clones, they can't be detected by the Byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance, making them indistinguishable from the actual person. Sasuke Uchiha claims that the Sharingan can tell the difference during his battle with Naruto at the Valley of the End.
Any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. It's also useful for training purposes, since the total amount of experience the user gains is multiplied by the total number of clones being used to train. Using it in this manner is far more difficult, however, since a large number of clones are needed to make a significant difference in the training time. It's unclear if other types of clones possess this advantage.
This technique is considered dangerous because of the manner in which the clones are created. Because the user divides their chakra among the clones, the user could potentially use up all their chakra fairly quickly if the user is low on chakra or makes too many clones, such as Naruto does with Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, this jutsu's enhanced (and forbidden) form. Naruto is able to use this technique to the extremes that he does because of his tailed beast, the nine-tailed demon fox, which gives him an abnormally high chakra level. Even without the demon fox's chakra, Naruto can make quite a few clones, but nowhere near on the level he can when he has access to the demon fox's chakra. The technique can also be dangerous if the user is injured or has some otherwise debilitating physical condition at the time of the cloning, since all of the clones will be created in roughly the same state.
Name: Taiju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Multiple Shadow Clone Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: A
Description:
This jutsu is basically a massive version of the Shadow Clone Technique. Instead of a few clones, it creates a few hundred clones (or a number of equal grandeur). This is considered a forbidden technique, because it can potentially be dangerous to the person performing it, seeing as how all of the clones are given an equal amount of chakra directly from the user. Naruto learned the technique from the scroll of forbidden seals written by the First Hokage and used it to save Iruka from Mizuki. Few people are able to use this technique effectively, due to the large amount of chakra it consumes. This weakness does not apply to Naruto due to his demon fox chakra, which allows him to create upwards of 2,000 clones while maintaining a decent supply of chakra in each one. This technique is also used by Naruto to train quickly, since all the clones share their experiences with Naruto, but it causes extreme fatigue with repeated use.
Name: Shihohappo Shuriken (Shuriken From All Directions)
Type: Offensive
Range:Short to Mid 0-10m
Rank: A
Description:
Once Naruto clones himself using his Shadow Clone Technique, he and his clones throw a large number of shuriken from all angles at their opponent. It is similar in practice to the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique used by the Third Hokage during his fight with Orochimaru.
Name: Shuiken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique)
Type: Offensive
Range: Short to Mid 0-10m
Rank: A
Description:
A modification of the Shadow Clone Technique, the user throws one shuriken at the victim and then uses this jutsu to create multiple copies of the shuriken to make the attack more powerful.
Name: Yoraishin (God of Night Lightning)
Type: Offensive
Range: Short to Mid 0-10m
Rank: A
Description:
This jutsu requires a large amount of nails to perform. First, the user throws nails into the air. When the nails hit the ground, they dig themselves into the ground. When the opponent walks over the ground where the nails dug themselves in, two nails stab out of the earth through the feet of the opponent, ensuring that they cannot move. The user then forms another hand seal, causing the rest of the nails to shoot out of the ground at the opponent.
Name: Ayame Tori (Murderous Grasp)

Range: Short to Mid 0-10m
Rank: A
Description:
This jutsu uses a metal string strengthened with chakra to make a thread capable of cutting through steel with little difficulty.
Name: Jigyaku no Jutsu (Time Reversal Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: A
Description:
This technique puts the target in a state of reverse hypnosis, allowing them to remember details that they otherwise would not. The target will comply with interrogation, but seems to retain his or her personality while under hypnosis. For example, when the ANBU used this technique to bring back Naruto's memories about his conversations with Gennou, Naruto was more specific about the ramen he shared with the old man rather than their conversations, which the ANBU were asking about.
Name: Bunshin Daibakuha (Clone Great Explosion)
Type: Offensive
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: A
Description:
This jutsu works in combination with the Shadow Clone Technique to create a shadow clone that will explode on command. The blast created is considerable, and could potentially kill an attacker engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
Name: Kongo Roheki (Adamantine Prison Wall)
Type: Defensive, Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: A
Description:
While in the form of the staff, the user duplicates themself into a large quantity of Adamantine Staffs and forms a cage with them to protect someone, or to possibly imprison an opponent. This Adamantine prison is practically indestructable, and requires the ability to transform into the Adamantine Staff first.
Name: Harem no Jutsu (Harem Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: A
Description:
This jutsu combines the Shadow Clone Technique and the Sexy Technique to create multiple of clones of a beautiful, nude woman (or in a bathing suit, as in some filler episodes and the video games). Naruto uses a modified form of this technique in episode 193 when he transforms into dozens of clones of Sakura (still clothed) in order to confuse Rock Lee.
Name: Chikatsu Saisei no Jutsu
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: A
Description:
This jutsu uses a part of the patient's body as a medium to heal their wounds. It requires an almost room-wide seal and a lot of time to complete. The medic-nin on hand actually have to trade places after tiring, indicating just how long it takes. One medic-nin notes that he had been working on it for three hours before tiring. Unfortunately, this treatment's success rate isn't very high. This was used successfully on Neji Hyuga during the Sasuke Retrieval arc.
Name: Meisaigakure no Jutsu (Hiding Camouflage Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: A
Description:
This jutsu renders the user invisible. It also masks the user's scent to some degree, making it more difficult to locate them. While normal people can't see through it, those with abilities such as the Sharingan and the Byakugan can. Additionally, creatures with enhanced senses of smell (insects or dogs) can pick up on the user's reduced scent. In the anime, Kabuto has been seen using this technique in the Forest of Death. Quite a few ninja in the filler arcs of the anime also know this technique.
Name: Ranshinsho (Important Body Points Disturbance)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: A
Description:
By converting a small amount of chakra into electricity and hitting her opponent's brain stem, Tsunade can disrupt the regular flow of electrical signals from the target's brain to other parts of the target's body. For example, if the target tried to move their right arm, their left leg would move instead.
Name: Jutsu Sho (Technique Neutralize)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short to Mid 0-10m
Rank: A
Description:
This jutsu cancels or impedes the occurring of the opponent's technique. It uses the same amount of chakra as the jutsu it intends to cancel.

Type: Supplementary
Range: Long 10+ m
Rank: A
Description:
With this technique, one is able to view a distant location through the use of a clairvoyant crystal ball.
Name: Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: All Ranges
Rank: S
Description:
This jutsu was created by the Fourth Hokage and the reason behind his nickname, "The Yellow Flash of Konoha" (
, "Konoha no Kiiroi Senko"). It allows the user to move over large distances with ultra-high speed. Although it is often compared with the Body Flicker Technique, the speed of this jutsu is much greater. In principal, it is similar to the Summoning Technique, but instead sends the user somewhere rather than bringing something to them.
To activate this jutsu, the user needs a special seal or "jutsu formula" (?? Jutsu-shiki?) to mark the destination. After this is done, the user can almost instantaneously transport himself to that location. The Fourth applied the formula in advance to weapons such as kunai. It is also possible to leave a formula in an area touched by the user.
This technique is the reason Konoha came out victorious in the Iwa-Konoha Ninja War. After having his subordinates toss marked kunai randomly into the enemy ranks, the Fourth used the technique to appear within their ranks and slaughter them one by one before they could even react.
The Japanese name Hiraishin is also the phonic of the Japanese word
, which means lightning rod; this may explain why the Fourth needed a seal or formula for this to work.
Name: Jibaku Mandara (Self-desstruction Mandala)
Type: Offensive
Range: Short to Mid 0-10m
Rank: S
Description:
This jutsu creates a pyramid-like chakra cage around an opponent. The user can then constrict the cage to crush the opponent. The user must maintain a triangle-shaped hand seal at all times to maintain the cage. Should the user's will falter or the entrapped opponent happen to be strong enough, the cage can be broken. When the cage breaks, a massive explosion of energy follows, destroying a wide area. The one who broke the cage, however, remains safe in the center of the blast.
Name: Shoten no Jutsu (Shapeshifting Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: S
Description:
This jutsu is used to perfectly clone a willing target by sacrificing another person. To perform the jutsu, the intended target must give up a fair portion of their chakra to create the duplicate (in its debut, the leader asked for thirty percent), after which the sacrificial body morphs into an exact clone of the target. The target is so perfectly cloned that every aspect of them will be copied, even kekkei genkai and weapons the target is carrying. The clone's abilities are proportionate to, and limited by, the amount of chakra given to it by the original. This makes the clone unable to use techniques that require large amounts of chakra to perform. The clone can either act autonomously or be controlled by the original. Once the sacrificial body dies, the Shapeshifting Technique will end and the person used will be revealed.
Name: Choju Giga (Super Beasts Imitation Picture)
Type: Offensive
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: -
Description:
Sai draws creatures on his scroll, then uses this technique to animate them. The animals can act as the corresponding animal would.

Name: Henge: Kongonyoi (Transformation: Adamantine Staff)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: -
Description:
The Monkey King Enma turns himself into a large staff to be wielded by the Third Hokage. This staff is harder than diamond and can extend to whatever length Enma or the Third wishes. Enma can still be harmed by Orochimaru's Kusanagi, however. Despite its appearance, it can slice through solid objects as easily as any blade. Enma can "un-transform" areas of the staff into various body parts at will if necessary. Enma can also fly while in this form, allowing him to return to the Third if dropped. Additionally, Enma can clone himself in this form, which he uses to perform his Adamantine Prison Wall.
Name: Shushagan no Jutsu (Vanishing Facial Copy Technique)
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short 0-5m
Rank: -
Description:
This jutsu allows the user to peel the face of another person off and wear it like a mask, effectively impersonating said person. In addition to copying the victim's face, it also copies their voice. The grisly after-effect of this is that the target loses their face entirely, as if it were dissolved clean off their head. Orochimaru uses it to infiltrate Konoha during the Chunin Exam arc and again to impersonate the Fourth Kazekage just before the invasion. Orochimaru can seemingly do this at will to mimic his original appearance.
