A
Armor of Sand
•Name: Suna no Yoroi, literally "Armor of Sand" or "Sand Armor"
•Type: No rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
•Users: Gaara
Using this jutsu, Gaara can cover himself in a compacted layer of sand, providing an additional defense should his Shield of Sand fail. Though quite effective, maintaining the armor requires a large amount of chakra and stamina.
Armor of Sticky Gold
•Name: Nenkin no Yoroi, literally "Armor of Sticky Gold"
•Type: Hiden, No rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
•Users: Kidomaru
By excreting his Sticky Gold from his pores, Kidomaru can quickly create a temporary armor that once exposed to oxygen, is capable of blocking chakra.
B
Beast Human Clone
•Name: Jûjin Bunshin, literally "Beast Human Clone", English TV "Man Beast Clone"
•Type: D-rank, Supplementary
•Users: Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru together
A modified version of a transformation technique, this jutsu allows a user to transform their animal companion into a perfect copy of themselves. When combined with the Four Legs Technique, the user and the animal become virtually impossible to tell apart, since both act equally animalistic. Like any transformation, the jutsu can be broken by identifying and attacking the animal, thus dispelling the transformation. This jutsu is often followed by the Double Piercing Fang.
Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot
•Name: Kurohigi Kiki Ippatsu, literally "Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot"
•Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
•Users: Kankuro
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 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.
Body Flicker Technique
•Name: Shunshin no Jutsu, literally "Body Flicker Technique"
•Type: D-rank, Supplementary
•Users: Most, if not all ninja above Genin level
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?).
Body Replacement Technique
•Name: Kawarimi no Jutsu, literally "Body Replacement Technique", "Change of Body Technique", "Change of Stance Technique", or "Replacement Technique", English TV "Replacement Jutsu" or "Substitution Jutsu"
•Type: E-rank, Supplementary
•Users: All Ninja Academy graduates
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. 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.
Bug Clone Technique
•Name: Mushi Bunshin no Jutsu, , literally "Bug Clone Technique" or "Bug Replication Technique"
•Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary
•Users: Shino Aburame
Using the Kikaichu bugs living in their body, the user can create a copy of themselves or anyone else they choose. The clone falls apart into its component bugs when struck. Because they're made of bugs, the clones can reform almost instantly.
C
Chakra Absorption Technique
•Name: Chakra Kyûin Jutsu, literally "Chakra Absorption Technique"
•Type: Unknown
•Users: Yoroi Akado, Jirobo
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.
Chidori
•Name: Chidori, literally "One Thousand Birds"
•Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
•Users: Kakashi Hatake, Sasuke Uchiha
This jutsu is Kakashi's only original technique, though he now uses an S-ranked version known as the Lightning Blade. He created it around the time he was promoted to Jonin, and later taught it to Sasuke. This jutsu channels a large amount of chakra into the user's arm. The amount of chakra is so great that it becomes visible to the naked eye. The technique actually alters the nature of the user's chakra, effectively converting it into electricity. As a side effect of the conversion process, the large amount of chakra, and the speed at which the user moves, this technique makes a loud noise similar to many birds chirping, hence the name (if the user is not in motion, it merely makes an electric crackling sound). Once the technique is completed, the user charges forward and stabs their enemy with it. The amount of thrust combined with the large concentration of chakra allows the user to stab through almost anything; as such it is usually fatal to the enemy. This technique is classified as an assassination technique because of the speed at which it is performed, despite the loud noise it produces.
This jutsu has a major drawback, however. The speed at which the attack must be done, combined with the fact that the user must run in a straight line, causes a tunnel vision-like effect for the user. This allows their enemy to easily counter the attack, making it a potentially lethal move for the user. Though this drawback would seem to make learning the technique fairly pointless, Sasuke and Kakashi are able to avoid the drawback because of their Sharingan eyes, which take in every detail regardless of how fast the user is moving. As an additional drawback, the large amount of chakra required limits its use to a few times a day (two for Sasuke, four for Kakashi). Sasuke can manage one more than normal with the use of his cursed seal. Should the user attempt to go beyond their limit, all of their chakra will be drained and their very life force could go along with it, killing them. An additional problem, though not necessarily a debilitating one, is the fact that the large amount of chakra can also injure the user's hand if they put too much force into the attack. Sasuke does this while battling his brother, Itachi, causing some of the skin to peel from his hand and leaving it slightly smoldering after the attack was finished.
Chidori Current
•Name: Chidori Nagashi, literally "One Thousand Birds Current"
•Type: Unknown
•Users: Sasuke Uchiha
A variation on a regular Chidori developed by Sasuke during his two-and-a-half year training with Orochimaru, this jutsu allows Sasuke to cover himself in electricity, instead of just concentrating it in his hand. The electricity can be channeled anywhere, allowing Sasuke to enhance his attacks with it. Because it is channeled throughout his entire body and not concentrated, the electricity will only cause temporary paralysis instead of killing an opponent. While this is not a problem in one-on-one battles, it does allow others to save their comrade if Sasuke is outnumbered. Sasuke can also channel the electricity through his Kusanagi sword, increasing its overall strength and cutting power.
Cloak of Invisibility Technique
•Name: Kakuremino no Jutsu, literally "Cloak of Invisibility Technique", English (Card Game) "Disguise Jutsu"
•Type: E-rank, Supplementary
•Users: All Ninja Academy graduates
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.
Clone Great Explosion
•Name: Bunshin Daibakuha, literally "Clone Great Explosion",Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2 "Shadow Clone: Smash"
•Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
•Users: Itachi Uchiha
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.
Clone Technique
•Name: Bunshin no Jutsu, literally "Clone Technique", English TV "Clone Jutsu", UK DVD "Art of Body Splitting"
•Type: E-rank, Supplementary
•Users: All Ninja Academy graduates
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.).
Combination Transformation
•Name: Konbi Henge, literally "Combination Transformation"
•Type: B-rank, Supplementary
•Users: Naruto Uzumaki, Gamabunta, Sound Four, Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru
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).
Creation Rebirth
•Name: Sôzô Saisei, literally "Creation Rebirth" or "Creation Regeneration" (a.k.a. "Genesis Rebirth")
•Type: S-rank, Supplementary
•Users: Tsunade
By releasing chakra that has been stored up for a relatively long period of time in the seal on her forehead with Shadow Seal: Release, Tsunade is able to heal all her wounds almost instantaneously, regardless of the severity of the injuries. She can even regrow lost organs and limbs if necessary. Additionally, she continues to heal at an accelerated rate for the duration of the jutsu. Unfortunately, this technique has a drawback; using it speeds up cell division, and it shortens her life span. It also has the minor side effect of dispelling the jutsu she uses to disguise her age.
D
Dead Soul Technique
•Name: Shikon no Jutsu, literally "Dead Soul Technique", English TV "Dead Soul Jutsu"
•Type: B-rank, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
•Users: Kabuto Yakushi
Using this jutsu, a person can temporarily reanimate a corpse, creating the illusion of a living person. This is achieved by causing the heart to beat once more, allowing the user to control the corpse. The reanimated corpse can serve as either a short-time ally or an effective decoy.
Desert Coffin
•Name: Sabaku Kyû, literally "Desert Coffin", Viz "The Coffin of Crushing Sand", English TV "Sand Coffin"
•Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
•Users: Gaara
This jutsu uses sand to grab the opponent and cover their entire body. This skill is primarily utilized for rendering an opponent immobile, but can kill the opponent by suffocation or by being followed with the Desert Funeral, which crushes them.
It should be noted that Gaara crushed Rock Lee's left arm and leg during their battle in the Chunin Exams, and crushed Deidara's arm in the Rescue Gaara Arc, with just Desert Coffin, implying that Desert Coffin itself has its own crushing effect. However, Gaara makes the hand motion that he typically makes when using Desert Funeral in this particular instance.
Desert Funeral
•Name: Sabaku Sôsô, literally "Desert Funeral" (a.k.a. "Desert Graveyard"), Viz "Imploding Sand Funeral", English TV "Sand Burial"
•Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
•Users: Gaara
After wrapping an opponent with sand, Gaara will cause the sand to implode and crush whatever is within. When used to kill a person, the death is so quick that there isn't even time to feel pain. The pressure also produces a sizable fountain of blood. Gaara can control the pressure used in the attack, which allows him to merely break bones or completely liquefy an opponent.
Desert Imperial Funeral
•Name: Sabaku Taisô, literally "Desert Imperial Funeral"
•Type: No rank, Offensive, All ranges
•Users: Gaara
Following the Quicksand in the Style of a Waterfall, Gaara slams both hands palm down into the sand, creating powerful shockwaves that compress the sand. Anything buried in the sand is subsequently crushed.
Desert Prison
•Name: Sabaku Rô, literally "Desert Prison"
•Type: Unknown
•Users: Gaara
This jutsu is a massive version of Gaara's Desert Coffin, using an entire desert's worth of sand to trap an opponent.
Desert Suspension
•Name: Sabaku Fuyû, literally "Desert Suspension"
•Type: No rank, Supplementary
•Users: Gaara
Using his sand as a platform, Gaara is able to float in the air.
Destruction Bug Host Technique
Name: Kikaichû no Jutsu, literally "Destruction Bug Host Technique" English TV "Parasitic Insects Jutsu"
•Type: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary, All ranges
•Users: Aburame clan
The Aburame clan is famed for their use of insects in their jutsu. When a child is born, their body is offered to insects, called destruction bugs, as a nest. The bugs feed and live off the chakra that the body stores and in return the ninja gets to control and command the bugs, using them as their primary fighting technique. These bugs have the ability to drain chakra through physical contact with the enemy.
Drowning Maelstrom Technique
•Name: Kufû Suika no Jutsu, literally "Drowning Maelstrom Technique"
•Type: Unknown
•Users: Naruto Uzumaki and Yamato together
This jutsu combines Yamato's Water Release: Rapid Crasher with Naruto's Wind Release: Rasengan to create a powerful waterspout.
E
Earth Release Barrier: Dungeon Chamber of Nothingness
•Name: Doton Kekkai: Dorôdômu, literally "Earth Release Barrier: Dungeon Chamber of Nothingness"
•Type: B-rank, Offensive, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
•Users: Jirobo
This jutsu traps the victims inside a self-repairing dome of earth. Jirobo is able to absorb the chakra of anyone trapped inside, something he enjoys greatly. Jirobo's chakra is distributed throughout the dome, but not equally. Near the back (relative to him), less chakra is present, making the dome weaker in that spot.
Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart
•Name: Doton: Doryû Jôheki, literally "Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart"
•Type: Unknown
•Users: Yamato
This jutsu raises a large ridge or hill from the ground. Yamato uses this technique along with Water Release: Waterfall Basin Technique while demonstrating elemental chakra types to Naruto, creating a waterfall as an example.
Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling
•Name: Doton: Doryû Dango, literally "Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Dango"
•Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
•Users: Jirobo
Jirobo is able to overturn the earth into a large dumpling-shaped chunk of earth the size of a mausoleum. Using his immense strength, he can lift up the ball and hurl it at his opponent, flattening everything in its path.
Earth Release: Earth Shore Return
•Name: Doton: Doroku Gaeshi, literally "Earth Release: Earth Shore Return"
•Type: C-rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
•Users: Jirobo
After striking the ground with his hands, Jirobo creates a large wall of earth that rises into place as defense. The defense is not perfect though, since a hard or drilling impact can puncture the wall.
Earth Release: Earth Style Wall
•Name: Doton: Doryûheki, literally "Earth Release: Earth Style Wall", English TV "Earth Style: Mud Wall Jutsu"
•Type: B-rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
•Users: Third Hokage

This technique causes the ground surrounding the enemy to spiral inwards on itself, burying them alive or crushing them.
Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld
•Name: Doton: Yomi Numa, literally "Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld", English "Earth Style: Dark Swamp"
•Type: A-rank, Offensive, All ranges
•Users: Jiraiya
This jutsu turns a large area of land into a sinking swampland, making it impossible for anyone or anything in that area to move around. The size of the swamp is proportionate to the amount of chakra used to perform the technique. When performed by a drugged Jiraiya, this technique only created a large, semi-deep swamp that merely inhibited the movement of the snakes it was targeting. When performed properly, it is supposed to engulf the target completely.
Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique
•Name: Doton: Dochû Eigyo no Jutsu, literally "Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique", English "Earth Style: Underground Move Jutsu" English games "Underground Reflecting Fist Jutsu"
•Type: C-rank, Supplementary

Armor of Sand
•Name: Suna no Yoroi, literally "Armor of Sand" or "Sand Armor"
•Type: No rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
•Users: Gaara
Using this jutsu, Gaara can cover himself in a compacted layer of sand, providing an additional defense should his Shield of Sand fail. Though quite effective, maintaining the armor requires a large amount of chakra and stamina.
Armor of Sticky Gold
•Name: Nenkin no Yoroi, literally "Armor of Sticky Gold"
•Type: Hiden, No rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
•Users: Kidomaru
By excreting his Sticky Gold from his pores, Kidomaru can quickly create a temporary armor that once exposed to oxygen, is capable of blocking chakra.
B
Beast Human Clone
•Name: Jûjin Bunshin, literally "Beast Human Clone", English TV "Man Beast Clone"
•Type: D-rank, Supplementary
•Users: Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru together
A modified version of a transformation technique, this jutsu allows a user to transform their animal companion into a perfect copy of themselves. When combined with the Four Legs Technique, the user and the animal become virtually impossible to tell apart, since both act equally animalistic. Like any transformation, the jutsu can be broken by identifying and attacking the animal, thus dispelling the transformation. This jutsu is often followed by the Double Piercing Fang.
Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot
•Name: Kurohigi Kiki Ippatsu, literally "Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot"
•Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
•Users: Kankuro
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 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.
Body Flicker Technique
•Name: Shunshin no Jutsu, literally "Body Flicker Technique"
•Type: D-rank, Supplementary
•Users: Most, if not all ninja above Genin level
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?).
Body Replacement Technique
•Name: Kawarimi no Jutsu, literally "Body Replacement Technique", "Change of Body Technique", "Change of Stance Technique", or "Replacement Technique", English TV "Replacement Jutsu" or "Substitution Jutsu"
•Type: E-rank, Supplementary
•Users: All Ninja Academy graduates
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. 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.
Bug Clone Technique
•Name: Mushi Bunshin no Jutsu, , literally "Bug Clone Technique" or "Bug Replication Technique"
•Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary
•Users: Shino Aburame
Using the Kikaichu bugs living in their body, the user can create a copy of themselves or anyone else they choose. The clone falls apart into its component bugs when struck. Because they're made of bugs, the clones can reform almost instantly.
C
Chakra Absorption Technique
•Name: Chakra Kyûin Jutsu, literally "Chakra Absorption Technique"
•Type: Unknown
•Users: Yoroi Akado, Jirobo
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.
Chidori
•Name: Chidori, literally "One Thousand Birds"
•Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
•Users: Kakashi Hatake, Sasuke Uchiha
This jutsu is Kakashi's only original technique, though he now uses an S-ranked version known as the Lightning Blade. He created it around the time he was promoted to Jonin, and later taught it to Sasuke. This jutsu channels a large amount of chakra into the user's arm. The amount of chakra is so great that it becomes visible to the naked eye. The technique actually alters the nature of the user's chakra, effectively converting it into electricity. As a side effect of the conversion process, the large amount of chakra, and the speed at which the user moves, this technique makes a loud noise similar to many birds chirping, hence the name (if the user is not in motion, it merely makes an electric crackling sound). Once the technique is completed, the user charges forward and stabs their enemy with it. The amount of thrust combined with the large concentration of chakra allows the user to stab through almost anything; as such it is usually fatal to the enemy. This technique is classified as an assassination technique because of the speed at which it is performed, despite the loud noise it produces.
This jutsu has a major drawback, however. The speed at which the attack must be done, combined with the fact that the user must run in a straight line, causes a tunnel vision-like effect for the user. This allows their enemy to easily counter the attack, making it a potentially lethal move for the user. Though this drawback would seem to make learning the technique fairly pointless, Sasuke and Kakashi are able to avoid the drawback because of their Sharingan eyes, which take in every detail regardless of how fast the user is moving. As an additional drawback, the large amount of chakra required limits its use to a few times a day (two for Sasuke, four for Kakashi). Sasuke can manage one more than normal with the use of his cursed seal. Should the user attempt to go beyond their limit, all of their chakra will be drained and their very life force could go along with it, killing them. An additional problem, though not necessarily a debilitating one, is the fact that the large amount of chakra can also injure the user's hand if they put too much force into the attack. Sasuke does this while battling his brother, Itachi, causing some of the skin to peel from his hand and leaving it slightly smoldering after the attack was finished.
Chidori Current
•Name: Chidori Nagashi, literally "One Thousand Birds Current"
•Type: Unknown
•Users: Sasuke Uchiha
A variation on a regular Chidori developed by Sasuke during his two-and-a-half year training with Orochimaru, this jutsu allows Sasuke to cover himself in electricity, instead of just concentrating it in his hand. The electricity can be channeled anywhere, allowing Sasuke to enhance his attacks with it. Because it is channeled throughout his entire body and not concentrated, the electricity will only cause temporary paralysis instead of killing an opponent. While this is not a problem in one-on-one battles, it does allow others to save their comrade if Sasuke is outnumbered. Sasuke can also channel the electricity through his Kusanagi sword, increasing its overall strength and cutting power.
Cloak of Invisibility Technique
•Name: Kakuremino no Jutsu, literally "Cloak of Invisibility Technique", English (Card Game) "Disguise Jutsu"
•Type: E-rank, Supplementary
•Users: All Ninja Academy graduates
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.
Clone Great Explosion
•Name: Bunshin Daibakuha, literally "Clone Great Explosion",Naruto Ultimate Ninja 2 "Shadow Clone: Smash"
•Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
•Users: Itachi Uchiha
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.
Clone Technique
•Name: Bunshin no Jutsu, literally "Clone Technique", English TV "Clone Jutsu", UK DVD "Art of Body Splitting"
•Type: E-rank, Supplementary
•Users: All Ninja Academy graduates
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.).
Combination Transformation
•Name: Konbi Henge, literally "Combination Transformation"
•Type: B-rank, Supplementary
•Users: Naruto Uzumaki, Gamabunta, Sound Four, Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru
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).
Creation Rebirth
•Name: Sôzô Saisei, literally "Creation Rebirth" or "Creation Regeneration" (a.k.a. "Genesis Rebirth")
•Type: S-rank, Supplementary
•Users: Tsunade
By releasing chakra that has been stored up for a relatively long period of time in the seal on her forehead with Shadow Seal: Release, Tsunade is able to heal all her wounds almost instantaneously, regardless of the severity of the injuries. She can even regrow lost organs and limbs if necessary. Additionally, she continues to heal at an accelerated rate for the duration of the jutsu. Unfortunately, this technique has a drawback; using it speeds up cell division, and it shortens her life span. It also has the minor side effect of dispelling the jutsu she uses to disguise her age.

•Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
•Users: Gaara
This jutsu uses sand to grab the opponent and cover their entire body. This skill is primarily utilized for rendering an opponent immobile, but can kill the opponent by suffocation or by being followed with the Desert Funeral, which crushes them.
It should be noted that Gaara crushed Rock Lee's left arm and leg during their battle in the Chunin Exams, and crushed Deidara's arm in the Rescue Gaara Arc, with just Desert Coffin, implying that Desert Coffin itself has its own crushing effect. However, Gaara makes the hand motion that he typically makes when using Desert Funeral in this particular instance.
Desert Funeral

•Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
•Users: Gaara
After wrapping an opponent with sand, Gaara will cause the sand to implode and crush whatever is within. When used to kill a person, the death is so quick that there isn't even time to feel pain. The pressure also produces a sizable fountain of blood. Gaara can control the pressure used in the attack, which allows him to merely break bones or completely liquefy an opponent.

This jutsu turns a large area of land into a sinking swampland, making it impossible for anyone or anything in that area to move around. The size of the swamp is proportionate to the amount of chakra used to perform the technique.

When performed properly, it is supposed to engulf the target completely.
