 Jutsu can literally mean "Technique" or "Art". They are the basic fundamental of ninja itself. To perform any Justu, a ninja must 1) learn to control and mix chakra together, the body and the spirit and 2) the mind to manipulate and create the Jutsu. Either by using up too much chakra or produce enough to perform a Jutsu. Chakra is the most important to correctly perform Jutsu. There are 5 elemental Justu, Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and Lightning and each require different amount of chakra to perform them.
Jutsu can be divided into 3 main categories: Taijutsu (Hand-to-Hand Combat), Genjutsu (Illusionary Technique), and Ninjustu (Ninja Technique). There are side categories: Fuuinjutsu (Sealing Technique), Kinjutsu (Forbidden Technique), Hidden (Hidden Technique) that only exist within a clan like the Advance Bloodline, Doujutsu (Eye Technique), and Kuchiyose no Justu (Summoning Technique). |
