Naruto World After 4th War

1. #1Shinobi Godaikoku

   Keys: Five Great Shinobi Countries, Five Great Ninja Countries, Great Five Ninja Countries, Great Five Ninja Nations, Great Five Shinobi Countries, Great Five Shinobi Nations, Shinobi Godaikoku, Great Five

   Feudal states where shinobi forces officially obey state authority. Political leadership of each country is held by a ruler titled Daimyo. The continent's territory is equally divided among the Shinobi Godaikoku to ensure a balance of power in the global system. The Land of Earth is located in the northwest of the continent. The Land of Lightning occupies the northeastern part. The Land of Water is situated in the east. The Land of Wind is located in the southwest. The Land of Fire occupies the central part of the continent. Each country is named according to the predominant natural chakra type in its territory. Each of the Five Great Shinobi Countries possesses its own Kakurezato, representing a military organization of the highest degree of power and training. These countries are the most powerful nations in the known system of states. The military might and political influence of the Five Great Shinobi Countries are approximately equal, ensuring the maintenance of a stable balance of power. However, the Land of Fire is considered the most powerful and influential of all five. During the Fourth Great Shinobi War, the Five Great Shinobi Countries were united into a single coalition along with the samurai representing the Land of Iron. The combined forces were directed against the Eye of the Moon Plan. Following the conclusion of the Fourth Great Shinobi War, the states continue to pursue a policy of strengthening alliances. Joint initiatives aimed at preserving peace and developing diplomatic ties have received official state-level approval in all Five Great Shinobi Countries.

2. #2Daimyo

   Keys: Great Title, Daimyo

   The title of the supreme ruler of a feudal shinobi country, possessing full political authority within the state system. Daimyo makes decisions on foreign policy, state budget formation, resource allocation, and granting privileges to Kakurezato within their respective country. Daimyo has the authority to appoint a new Kage for Kakurezato. Under standard conditions, the candidate for Kage is determined by the acting Kage. In the event of the Kage's death, incapacitation, or absence, the Daimyo decides on the appointment of a new Kage. The procedure for appointing a new Kage includes consultations with the Kakurezato council, senior jonin-ranked shinobi, and other official representatives.Daimyo regularly attends the final matches of theChunin Shiken to place bets on fights or identify potential candidates for promotion. The Daimyo's permanent residence is the capital of the respective country. The Daimyo is constantly surrounded by numerous advisors and escorts, who typically exhibit imperious and arrogant behavior towards the civilian population. Frequent political disagreements between representatives of different Daimyo lead to armed conflicts. The resolution of the consequences of these conflicts is delegated to the shinobi forces of the respective Kakurezato. Due to the Daimyo's lack of direct participation in military actions, an awareness of the scale of destruction and human losses is absent, which contributes to the repetition of similar situations. Committing crimes against the life of a Daimyo is recognized as a particularly grave offense.

3. #3Kakurezato

   Keys: Hidden Village, Kakurezato

   A territorial administrative unit within a country inhabited by shinobi. Kakurezato supports its economy by training ninjas from a young age and utilizing them for various missions. The rulers of the Great Five' Kakurezato bear the title of Kage. The Great Five' Kakurezato are considered the most powerful. Before the Kakurezato system was established, most shinobi clans were independent military formations that operated as mercenaries, frequently changing allies based on offered payment. With the formation of organized Kakurezato and a centralized governance system, many clans integrated into the structure.

4. #4Shinobi

   Keys: Ninja, Shinobi

   The primary military and social class operating in feudal states. The main characteristic of shinobi is the ability to control chakra to use various techniques. Most shinobi reside in their country's Kakurezato. Some shinobi belong to specialized clans. Shinobi carry out various missions for rewards. In wartime, shinobi unite to defend their Kakurezato and the territories of their respective countries. Shinobi are obligated to remain loyal to their Kakurezato throughout their lives. Individuals who violate this loyalty and leave their Kakurezato without permission are considered nukenin, sentenced to death.

5. #5Kunoichi

   Keys: Kunoichi

   Female shinobi. In the Shinobi Academy, the curriculum for girls additionally includes Kunoichi classes, teaching the basics of culture, behavior, and arts, including ikebana, as part of traditional training for missions requiring stealth and subtle social interaction.

6. #6Bingo Book

   Keys: Nukenin List, Tehaisho, Criminal List, Search Instruction Book, Ninja Blacklist, Shinobi Blacklist, Bingo Book

   A book with information about the ninjas included in the "blacklist" as targets for capture or elimination. There are several versions of Taehaisho, each of which belongs to a specific Kakurezato. The entries in the book are made by high-ranking officials of the village, most often Kage. The book is given to the Jonins and the members of the Nsa. The list contains dangerous ninjas, nukenins, and individuals who pose a security threat that must be eliminated. Photos of the destroyed nukenins are crossed out. NSA units may have the task of destroying nukenins without leaving traces.

7. #7Nukenin

   Keys: Fugitive shinobi, Nukenin, Fugitive ninja, Kakurezato traitor

   A shinobi who left their Hidden Village with no intention of returning. A nukenin is considered a criminal who has severed ties with their home village. Nukenin often become such after committing crimes or for personal gain. Some nukenin continue to wear their village's forehead protector, but scratch out the symbol. Kirigakure has a special unit, the Oinin, created to eliminate nukenin. However, leaving a village does not always mean recognition as a nukenin. After the Fourth Great Ninja War, the number of nukenin on the continent increased. Shinobi leave their villages due to threats to their way of life or for other reasons. Nukenin become more ruthless and often kill their employers for large rewards.

8. #8Sato-osa

   Keys: Kakurezato's Head, Leader of Hidden Village, Leader of the Hidden Village, Leader of the Kakurezato, Leader of Kakurezato, Head of a Kakurezato, Head of Kakurezato, Leader of a Kakurezato, Sato-osa, Leader of a Hidden Village, Kakurezato's Leader, Head of a Hidden Village, Head of Hidden Village, Head of the Hidden Village, Head of the Kakurezato

   The highest-ranking and usually strongest shinobi in a Kakurezato. The chief representative of Kakurezato, responsible for administrative and military affairs. Each Kakurezato has one leader, but power is distributed among the leader, advisors, and high-ranking shinobi. The method of electing a Sato-osa varies among Kakurezatos and may include democratic elections or hereditary succession. Sato-osa from the Great Five hold the most power and respect and bear the title of Kage.

9. #9Kage

   Keys: Kage

   Title of the leaders of the Hidden Village of the Great Five. All five Kage together are called the Gokage. The Kage controls the activities of their Hidden Village: assigning shinobi to missions and making decisions concerning the safety of the entire population. Within a Hidden Village, the Kage is considered the strongest ninja and the supreme leader. The title was first introduced by Hashirama Senju after the founding of Konohagakure. Hashirama became the first Kage after being elected by the population of Konohagakure and the Land of Fire. After this, the title system was adopted by other countries when creating their own Hidden Villages. The Kage primarily cares for their own Hidden Village, so cooperation between the leaders of the Hidden Villages occurs rarely. Usually, interaction is limited to treaty signing ceremonies and public events where the Kage have the opportunity to communicate with each other. The only instance when all five Kage gather together is the Gokage Kaidan—a meeting convened by any of the Kage to discuss matters concerning all major Hidden Villages. The process of electing a new Kage differs in different Hidden Villages. In Konohagakure, the Hokage usually appoints their successor. If the Hokage dies or loses the ability to perform their duties before a successor is appointed, the right of choice passes to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, who consults with a committee, elders, the Jonin Commander, and a representative of the ANBU. The appointment must be approved by the Jonin of Konohagakure. If a Kage retires, the title is retained for life. A retired Kage can assist the new one in decision-making and other duties. In exceptional cases, a retired Kage returns to leadership if the successor dies and there is no candidate capable of taking the position. The importance of Jinchuriki to the village has led to the tradition of creating them from the Kage's relatives. This strengthens loyalty and demonstrates the Kage's power.

10. #10Mission

    Keys: Mission, Order, Ninmu

    Official missions, performed by shinobi according to the internal structure of a Kakurezato. They form the basis of a shinobi's professional activity and are classified into five rank categories based on danger level and significance. Shinobi missions are divided into the following ranks: Rank D - simple, risk-free assignments for academy students and genin; Rank C - missions with minimal risk, intended for genin and beginner teams; Rank B - medium-difficulty missions, primarily executed by chunin; Rank A - high-risk missions, assigned to jonin and highly skilled specialists; Rank S - missions of extreme difficulty and importance, exclusively for elite shinobi. Mission completion quality directly impacts a shinobi's reputation, status, and advancement. Failure consequences depend on the mission's nature and the Kakurezato's political course. In some cases, mission completion requires extreme or forbidden measures, including sacrifices from comrades. Violence, deception, and information concealment are permitted. Action evaluation depends on the specific Kakurezato's norms. If a client distorts mission information (e.g., downplaying threat level), shinobi are released from the obligation to complete the mission, though voluntary continuation is possible. Mission costs influence client policy. In conditions of financial scarcity, clients resort to downplaying danger levels to reduce rank and thus cost, using mercenaries, or transferring missions to other Kakurezato. There have been instances where a country's Daimyo transferred missions to a foreign Kakurezato, bypassing their own, for cost savings. Yohei perform missions not sanctioned by the Kakurezato system. In Konohagakure, shinobi receive their first mission directly from the Hokage.

11. #11Yohei

    Keys: Ninja Mercenary, Yohei, Shinobi Mercenary

    Shinobi who provide their services for a fee, regardless of political affiliation or national loyalty. Yohei are hired by other countries, organizations, or private individuals for missions involving combat, sabotage, reconnaissance, or target elimination. The practice of hiring shinobi for reward dates back to the times before the establishment of the Kakurezato system. Shinobi who continue to offer their services to external clients without the sanction of their home Kakurezato are classified as Nukenin. Fighting for a foreign power against the interests of one's own Kakurezato is considered treason, even if the sole motivation is financial gain.

12. #12Genin

    Keys: Genin

    Genin is the base shinobi rank, awarded after completing Shinobi Academy training or demonstrating relevant combat and theoretical skills. Genin shinobi undertake paid missions, participating in their village's economy. Most missions are Rank D, simple tasks with minimal risk. With experience, they can participate in Rank C missions, which are more complex but still relatively safe, usually under a Jonin mentor's supervision for safety and training. During personnel shortages or emergencies, like the attack on Konohagakure, Genin may be deployed to higher-ranked missions without escort. Genin are typically organized into squads of three rookies and one Jonin mentor. Team formation balances individual abilities and psychological compatibility to foster teamwork and practical experience under an experienced shinobi. Promotion to Chunin is possible after passing the Chunin Exams. The Genin rank does not always reflect actual combat proficiency.

13. #13Chunin Shiken

    The Chunin Exams are a formalized test held by Kakurezato to promote Genin to Chunin, initiated by Tobirama Senju. Officially, they foster diplomatic ties between Kakurezato and other nations, but in practice, they serve as a display of military strength and an alternative to open warfare, reducing political tension. Held twice a year, an eagle appearing over Kakurezato a week prior signals the event. Only Genin teams who have completed at least eight missions are eligible, requiring written approval from their Jonin leader. Konohagakure's exams traditionally consist of three stages: a written test assessing analytical skills and information gathering, a survival exam in the Forest of Death testing endurance, teamwork, and combat skills, and a final tournament stage with one-on-one battles between remaining participants.

14. #14Chunin

    Keys: Chūnin, Chunin

    A Chunin is a mid-level shinobi who has reached a level of maturity and possesses leadership and tactical skills. Genin take the Chunin Exams to become Chunin.

    Keys: Jōnin, Jonin

    Highest rank for highly skilled and experienced shinobi with significant combat and tactical abilities, capable of using at least two nature transformations. Jonin serve as military commanders, are dispatched on A-rank missions, and the most experienced are entrusted with S-rank missions, which can be performed solo. Promotion to Jonin is by recommendation. With sufficient support from the Kakurezato residents and Kage approval, the candidate receives the rank. In Konohagakure, the Hokage decides on promotions. The Konohagakure also has the title of Jonin Hancho – the Jonin leader. Shinobi with narrow specialization in a specific area are classified as Tokubetsu Jonin.

16. #16Jonin-sensei

    Keys: Jōnin-mentor, Jonin-mentor, Jōnin-sensei, Jonin-sensei

    Jonin-ranked shinobi assigned as commander to a team of three Genin-ranked shinobi. The mentor Jonin's task is to train the Genin in teamwork and develop their combat skills. The mentor Jonin is also responsible for deciding the team's readiness for the Chunin Shiken.

    A Jonin-ranked Shinobi who has undergone specialized training in a specific area. Unlike regular Jonins, they do not perform a wide range of tasks but focus on a narrow specialization. They are assigned to carry out specific functions that require deep knowledge and high competence in a particular field. They are considered elite specialists and may be called upon to work under the command of a standard Jonin when the situation demands their professional skills.

18. #18Seiki Butai

    Keys: Regular Troops, Seiki Butai, Standing Army, Regular Forces

    The primary unit of the shinobi system in Kakurezato. Most shinobi are part of the Seiki Butai and carry out the majority of missions assigned to Kakurezato. In addition to missions, Seiki Butai members undertake various internal duties, including training new shinobi and administrative activities. Upon graduating from the Shinobi Academy, shinobi are assigned the rank of Genin and become part of the Seiki Butai. With skill development and successful exam completion, promotion to Chunin and then Jonin is possible. In cases where shinobi possess highly specialized skills, transfer to the rank of Tokubetsu Jonin is possible.

19. #19Student of a Shinobi Academy

    A person undergoing training at the Shinobi Academy. Not part of the Seiki Butai. In case of an emergency, they may be mobilized to participate in the defense of Kakurazato as part of its military potential. Upon completion of the course, a graduation exam is conducted to determine the candidate's readiness to advance to the next stage. Successfully passing the exam does not guarantee automatic promotion to Genin rank—the student must undergo an additional test conducted by a Jonin mentor. Only after passing the Jonin mentor's test does the candidate receive the hitai-ate and the status of a full-fledged shinobi. Those who do not pass the exams return for further training at the Academy. Diploma requirements vary by village. In Konohagakure, for example, a randomly selected E-rank technique must be demonstrated.

20. #20Shinobi Academy

    Keys: Ninja Academy, Ninja School, Shinobi Academy, Shinobi School, Academy

    Konohagakure Educational Institution, where aspiring shinobi learn the fundamentals of Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu to become shinobi.

The core of the program consists of disciplines closely related to future military service: studying shinobi conduct, chakra theory, methods of its control and application to enhance both physical and mental abilities. A significant portion of the training is dedicated to practice. Students master kunai and shuriken throwing. Regular sparring sessions are held to facilitate Taijutsu mastery, as well as physical endurance and combat discipline. Through systematic training focused on concentration and chakra control, students master basic Ninjutsu and learn the principles of hand seal formation. Introductory Genjutsu training to identify and recognize illusions, develop mental resilience, and methods for neutralizing enemy techniques. The curriculum for girls additionally includes kunoichi classes, teaching the basics of culture, behavior, and arts, including ikebana, as part of traditional training for missions requiring disguise and subtle social interaction. To obtain the Genin rank, candidates must pass a final exam, including theoretical and practical parts. The exam is administered by an instructor, most often holding the rank of Chunin. Upon successful completion, the candidate receives a forehead protector with the symbol of the Hidden Village, signifying official entry into the shinobi ranks. Graduates are assigned to teams of three under the guidance of a Jonin mentor. The Jonin conducts an additional test to assess teamwork skills and mission readiness. In case of an unsatisfactory result, the candidate may be returned to the Academy or suspended from promotion. Promotion to the rank of Genin is possible outside the standard procedure if the candidate demonstrates exceptional abilities confirming readiness for shinobi duties.

Despite their high status and authority, they formally retain the rank of Jonin.

22. #22Jutsu

    Keys: Technique, Jutsu

    Jutsu is the general term for techniques used by shinobi employing chakra. Ordinary people cannot use jutsu. Activation requires chakra control, often with hand seals based on the twelve Chinese zodiac animals. Advanced users can perform jutsu without hand seals. There are thousands of jutsu with various effects and purposes. Jutsu are categorized by usage/effect: Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu. Another category includes special jutsu requiring unique conditions or innate abilities: Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, Senjutsu, Fūinjutsu. Other unique techniques exist outside standard classifications. Jutsu are ranked from E to S. E-rank includes basic skills for Academy students. D-rank techniques are simple and accessible to Genin. C-rank covers more complex techniques typically used by Chūnin. B-rank includes advanced Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Genjutsu requiring greater chakra control and skill. A-rank refers to powerful techniques mastered by experienced Jōnin. S-rank includes the most dangerous and destructive techniques, often involving Kinjutsu. This ranking doesn't apply to Kekkei Genkai, Hiden, and Senjutsu, as these require innate abilities, special conditions, or specific knowledge beyond the standard difficulty scale.

23. #23Spiritual Energy

    Keys: Spiritual Energy

    Internal energy of the body, formed by the mind. Increased through learning, meditation, and life experience. Necessary for chakra creation.

24. #24Physical Energy

    Keys: Physical Energy

    Internal energy of the organism, gathered from each cell and increased through training, stimulants, and physical exercise. Necessary for chakra creation.

25. #25Chakra Generation

    Keys: Chakra Production, Creation of chakra, Chakra Generation, Generation of chakra, Production of chakra, Chakra Creation, Manufacturing of chakra

    The process of merging a person's physical and spiritual energy. The higher the level of these energies, the stronger the created chakra. Constant practice of the technique increases spiritual energy, while developing endurance strengthens physical energy. Some individuals have an innate potential for rapid chakra growth.

26. #26Chakra

    Keys: Chakra

    A special form of life energy, formed by the combination of the body's physical and spiritual energies. Humans did not originally have chakra. The first being to obtain chakra was Kaguya Otsutsuki, after she ate the chakra fruit from the Shinju tree. This was about two thousand years ago. Kaguya's sons were already born with chakra. Kaguya's son, Hagoromo, spread chakra among humans through the teaching of Ninshu. It is now virtually impossible for a person to be born without chakra. An organism possessing chakra dies if its chakra runs out. Chakra is necessary for using jutsu and circulates throughout the body via the keirakukei channel system, passing through chakra pressure points. Chakra is consumed when performing jutsu and is restored when the body rests. The maximum possible amount of chakra is unique to each organism, can be increased through training, but is limited by genetic traits. Even if chakra is divided, changes made to the original chakra's characteristic will cause the divided chakra to mimic those changes.

27. #27Tenketsu

    Keys: Chakra pressure points, Tenketsu

    Chakra circulation system nodes from which chakra is released. The human body has 361 nodes. Most shinobi can release chakra from tenketsu on their hands and feet to increase their physical strength. Members of the Hyuga clan are distinguished by their unique ability to release chakra from any tenketsu or all tenketsu simultaneously. Each node is so small that it cannot be seen even with the Sharingan. Only the Byakugan can see another person's tenketsu, allowing the wielder of this Dojutsu to attack tenketsu directly to block them, disrupting chakra flow and preventing its use by the opponent. Juuken is based on performing this task.

28. #28Keirakukei

    Keys: Keirakukei, Meridional system, Chakra circulation system

    The body's chakra circulation system, present from birth with a chakra, permeates the entire being and interacts with every living cell. Interruption of chakra flow to any part prevents it from releasing chakra. Enemies can exploit this system to direct harmful, foreign chakra to vital organs. As organs cannot be trained to resist physical or energetic attacks, this method is highly effective.

29. #29Chakra signature

    Keys: Chakra signature, Chakra hue, Chakra imprint

    A unique set of characteristics of each wearer's chakra. The distinctive features of the chakra are transmitted genetically, allowing the clan representative to be identified by his chakra. The distinctive feature of the chakra can be changed by absorbing DNA from multiple people, mixing different types of chakra together to create a completely new kind. Each person's chakra also has a unique color, which is seen by the owners of Dojutsu.

30. #30Chakra's Control

    Keys: , Control of the chakra, Control of a chakra, Chakra's Control, Chakra Control, Control of chakra

    The ability to control the flow of released chakra. The skillful, effective, and economical use of chakra control to perform jutsu is a shinobi's key skill.

    Chakra control form that transforms chakra into a natural element. Changes for basic elements: Fire - Katon, Wind - Futon, Lightning - Raiton, Water - Suiton, Earth - Doton. Each element surpasses another but is surpassed by a third. Fire surpasses Water, Wind surpasses Fire, Lightning surpasses Wind, Earth surpasses Lightning, and Water surpasses Earth. Water is surpassed by Fire, Fire by Wind, Wind by Lightning, Lightning by Earth, and Earth by Water. A jutsu with a weaker element but a higher level can win a duel. Two jutsu with the same properties neutralize each other if they use the same amount of chakra. Each chakra user has an affinity for a specific element. However, to fully master transformation, long and persistent training is necessary. It is technically possible to master the transformation of any element, but such a skill is extremely rare. Besides the basic elements, there are mixed elements: Mokuton, Hyoton, Yoton, Futton, Ranton, Jinton, Bakuton, Shakuton, Jiton, Shoton, Meiton, Koton. Transformation into a mixed element is even more difficult. Transformation into non-elemental chakra natures is also possible: Inton, Yoton, and Onmyoton. Inton is based on the spiritual energy of the human body, which is responsible for imagination. Inton is used to create form from nothing. Yoton is based on the physical energy of the human body, which is responsible for life. Yoton is used to breathe life into form. Onmyoton is a seishitsuhanka obtained by mixing Inton and Yoton.

33. #33Chakra Nature

    Keys: Chakra Affinity, Chakra's Affinity, Affinity of chakra, Nature of chakra, Chakra Nature, Chakra's Nature, Affinity of a chakra, Affinity of the chakra, Nature of a chakra, Nature of the chakra

    Genetic predisposition to one of five basic chakra natures. Determined by a special paper test that changes when chakra is passed through it. If the paper ignites, the chakra nature is fire. If the paper gets wet, the chakra nature is water. If the paper crumples, the chakra nature is lightning. If the paper becomes brittle and crumbles, the chakra nature is earth. If the paper is cut, the chakra nature is wind. Chakra nature-based jutsu are easier to master.

34. #34Natural energy

    Keys: Natural energy

    Energy that can be gathered from the environment. Natural energy combines with spiritual and physical energies to create a special type of chakra. The use of natural energy allows for the application of Senjutsu techniques. Uncontrolled natural energy leads to mutations or loss of control. Jubi is entirely composed of natural energy and can control it, therefore Jubi and its Jinchuriki are only vulnerable to techniques that incorporate natural energy.

35. #35Ninshu

    Keys: Shinobi Sect, Ninja Sect, Ninshu, Ninshū

    Spiritual teaching created by Otsutsuki Hagoromo. Its primary goal is to establish mutual understanding among people by uniting their spiritual energies through chakra. The teaching was based on chakra transmission, not its use in combat. Over time, the practice was distorted: instead of spiritual connection, people began using chakra to enhance combat techniques. Thus, Ninjutsu emerged – the result of combat application of Ninshu principles. The first to use chakra in this manner was Otsutsuki Indra.

36. #36Genjutsu

    Keys: Genjutsu

    One of the three main categories of jutsu. It refers to jutsu based on creating illusions with chakra. Unlike Ninjutsu, it does not cause real changes to the environment. Its effect is on the central nervous system, influencing sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. The goal is to create false sensations or images, as well as deceive perception and inflict phantom pain. Genjutsu can be used for mind control by creating illusory suggestions. It is most often activated through eye contact, but other methods exist, including sound, interaction with natural transformations, and special preparations. Sound illusions are considered the most dangerous due to their range of effect. The use of Genjutsu requires a high level of chakra control, making the technique rarely used. Most shinobi choose Ninjutsu and Taijutsu as more direct and reliable methods. Some shinobi specialize in Genjutsu. Victims of Genjutsu may lose consciousness or continue to act under the illusion's influence, losing their orientation. This allows the user to alter the perception of space, hide their location, or disorient the enemy. The victim's chakra flow, if sufficiently disrupted, can suspend the user's illusionary influence. This dispelling or cancellation of Genjutsu can be performed by the victims themselves or an ally who channels chakra through them. Pain not caused by Genjutsu can bring the victim back to their senses.

37. #37Taijutsu

    Keys: Taijutsu

    One of the three main categories of jutsu. Refers to jutsu based on the use of martial arts and physical abilities. Physical and mental energy accumulated through training is used for application. Taijutsu does not require hand seals and is almost independent of chakra, although chakra can enhance actions. Taijutsu is performed faster than Ninjutsu and Genjutsu as it requires no preparation. It is based on hand-to-hand combat, with an emphasis on stamina, strength, and precision of movement. Many ninja possess Taijutsu, but some build their entire fighting style solely on it. Taijutsu is suitable for chakra conservation and rapid attacks. It can be combined with Ninjutsu, forming Nintaijutsu – a combined style. Taijutsu can also be combined with weapons.

38. #38Ninjutsu

    Keys: Ninjutsu

    One of the three main jutsu categories, encompassing techniques that use chakra to perform actions beyond normal human capabilities. It includes everything that isn't Taijutsu or Genjutsu. Ninjutsu often requires hand seals, but not always, as weapon usage can also be considered Ninjutsu. It is divided into functional branches: Iryoninjutsu, Tensei, Jikukan, Kekkai, Fuin, and Jujutsu. Most ninjutsu requires Shape Transformation and Nature Transformation of chakra. Ninjutsu arose from a distortion of Ninshu philosophy, when people began using chakra as a weapon instead of a means of understanding. Hagoromo is later recognized as the founder of Ninjutsu. It can be combined with Taijutsu to form Nintaijutsu—a combined style.

39. #39Kekkei Genkai

    Keys: Kekkei Genkai

    A hereditary trait, arising from genetic mutation or inherited DNA, that grants its wielder unique abilities unavailable to other shinobi. These abilities can manifest as special techniques, unique physical traits, or altered perception. Kekkei Genkai are most commonly passed down within a single clan. An exception is Mokuton, used by Hashirama Senju, which was later recreated through artificial DNA manipulation. Some Kekkei Genkai are based on the combination of two chakra natures, such as Hyoton. It is rare for individuals to possess two Kekkei Genkai simultaneously. Kekkei Genkai provide a significant combat advantage and often become a defining factor in the strength of a particular clan or shinobi. There are three types of Kekkei Genkai: Dojutsu, enhanced Seishitsuhenka, and unusual bodily capabilities, such as the fusion of two bodies into one.

40. #40Hand Seal

    Keys: Hand Seal

    Hand seals are positions of fingers and hands used by shinobi to regulate chakra flow for jutsu. They form a sequence, the completion of which begins the jutsu. Many jutsu require numerous seals, but a strong ninja can reduce them to a few. Rarely, a ninja can form seals with one hand. Additionally, two shinobi can perform a seal together by pressing their palms together and forming their fingers in a specific way.

41. #41Iryonin

    Keys: Medic Shinobi, Medic Ninja, Ninja Medic, Iryōnin, Iryonin, Shinobi Medic

    A shinobi specializing in healing and using Iryoninjutsu to treat others. Becoming an Iryonin requires high intelligence and excellent chakra control. Iryōnin are trained to avoid sustaining injuries to maintain their supportive healing function for other team members. Iryōnin accompany other ninja on high-stakes missions to increase mission success and overall team survivability.

42. #42Iryoninjutsu

    Keys: Iryoninjutsu, Iryōninjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu

    A category of jutsu aimed at healing and restoring the body through chakra control. Users of these techniques, known as iryōnins, possess exceptional precision and fine chakra manipulation, as well as extensive knowledge of anatomy, physiology, poisons, and medicines. This enables them to diagnose conditions, select treatments, and create antidotes. Advanced iryōnins can heal from a distance without touching the patient, using highly concentrated chakra streams.

43. #43Kinjutsu

    Keys: Forbidden Jutsu, Kinjutsu, Forbidden Technique

    Forbidden jutsu, prohibited for learning and use. Bans can be enacted for various reasons, however, Kinjutsu can generally be placed into one of three categories: 1) Techniques that harm the user; 2) Techniques that violate the laws of nature; 3) Certain techniques known for causing mass collateral damage, such as the complete destruction of an entire village, and resulting in the death of anyone within their range. Despite the prohibition, the common use of Kinjutsu carries no legal consequences for the Kakurezato in which they are used, or for the shinobi, except for those that harm the user themselves. Nevertheless, the use of Kinjutsu is condemned, especially those techniques that violate the laws of nature.

44. #44Dojutsu

    Keys: Dōjutsu, Dojutsu

    A special type of Kekkei Genkai manifesting in a shinobi's eyes. Dojutsu encompasses both innate, constantly active or activatable eye abilities, and special techniques based on these eyes. While typically hereditary, Dojutsu can be transplanted with the eye. However, unnatural carriers experience side effects: rapid fatigue, pain, bleeding, or the need for special means for activation and control. Overstraining the eyes (e.g., from frequent or excessive use of powerful techniques) can lead to temporary loss of Dojutsu activation. Nevertheless, the user can still employ other jutsu as their overall chakra may not be depleted. The most well-known Dojutsu are considered to be the Sharingan, Byakugan, and Rinnegan.

45. #45Hiden

    Keys: Hiden Jutsu, Hiden Technique, Hiden

    A type of jutsu that is kept secret and passed down within a specific clan or region from generation to generation. It is carefully hidden from outsiders to maintain the uniqueness and advantage of the clan. Often, the transmission of Hiden techniques occurs orally, without written records, which helps protect them from leaking. Some Hiden require special abilities or lineage, making them a symbol of pride and glory for the clan. Hiden cannot be simply copied by observing their use, which distinguishes them from regular techniques. Hiden differ from Kekkei Genkai in that special training and preparation are sufficient to learn secret techniques, while Kekkei Genkai are genetic abilities passed down through inheritance. Thus, Hiden are accessible to ordinary shinobi if they receive the necessary training within the clan or group.

46. #46Fuinjutsu

    Keys: Fuinjutsu, Sealing Technique

    A type of jutsu designed for sealing various objects, living beings, and chakra within another object. Additionally, they can be used to immobilize targets or to unseal sealed items within other objects or beings. The sealing process is usually accompanied by the appearance of special formulas, kanji, or symbols that serve as a kind of sign or seal.

47. #47Scroll

    Keys: Scroll, Makimono

    One of the most important elements of shinobi equipment, consisting of compact scrolls that can be easily stored even in ninja vests. Larger scrolls are usually attached to the user's back. In addition to being used as writing paper, makimono are also used in various ninjutsu: they can serve as a means to summon allies to the battlefield, a container for storing ninja tools, and even for sealing techniques.

48. #48Jinchuriki

    Keys: Jinchuriki, Jinchūriki

    A person in whom a Biju is sealed. Possesses a vast reserve of Biju chakra, granting them unimaginable shinobi power. The decision to seal a Biju and choose a candidate is made by the Hidden Village that owns the Biju. A Jinchuriki's purpose is to strengthen the Hidden Village's combat power. Often, villagers harbor fear and hatred towards their Jinchuriki, viewing them as monsters who bring pain, suffering, and destruction. Members of the Kage's family are frequently chosen as Jinchuriki. Typically, individuals become Jinchuriki early in their lives—often shortly after birth—so they can adapt to their beast as they grow. For Jinchuriki to survive for extended periods, it is crucial for them to have a special compatibility or unique chakra that can increase their chances of survival. If a Jinchuriki manages to maintain their status, their chakra naturally adapts to the Biju to enhance compatibility. There are several ways to extract a Biju from its Jinchuriki. If a Jinchuriki loses control of the beast or the seal weakens sufficiently, the monster will be released. For female Jinchuriki, the seal particularly weakens during childbirth. Most often, Biju extraction leads to the immediate death of the Jinchuriki. If a Jinchuriki can obtain their Biju's chakra externally, it allows the Jinchuriki to survive. After defeating Otsutsuki Kaguya, her son Otsutsuki Hagoromo sealed the Ten-Tails' chakra within himself and became the first Jinchuriki.

49. #49Kibakufuda

    Keys: Explosive tag, Kibakufuda

    A basic shinobi tool, consisting of a small paper tag with the kanji 爆 — "explosion." The paper is infused with chakra, after which it explodes — either on a timer, remotely, or upon contact with fire. Kibakufuda are attached to surfaces or weapons and then activated for attack, distraction, or confusion of the enemy, even in heavy rain. Remote detonation of Kibakufuda is done using the hand seal "Rat," allowing for sequential detonation and trap creation. Fake tags are often used to deceive the enemy.

50. #50Biju

    Keys: Biju, Tailed beast, Bijū, the Tailed

    A massive clump of chakra, embodied in the form of a giant beast. There are nine Biju in total, all differing in the number of tails. The more tails a Biju has, the more chakra it is composed of and, consequently, the greater its power. The Ten-Tails Jubi was the embodiment of Otsutsuki Kaguya. After defeating Otsutsuki Kaguya, her son Otsutsuki Hagoromo sealed the Jubi's chakra within himself and became the first Jinchuriki. After this, Hagoromo Otsutsuki divided the Jubi into nine Biju. Hagoromo Otsutsuki gave each Biju a name. Subsequently, throughout his life, Hagoromo dispersed all the Biju across the continent. The first person to use Biju for their true purpose was Senju Hashirama, who captured some Biju using his Wood Style. Senju Hashirama proposed that the Hidden Villages and their Kage divide the Biju equally to ensure a balance of power in the world and avoid conflicts. This idea failed, and three Great Shinobi World Wars occurred with the participation of Biju and their Jinchuriki. Biju, initially perceived by humans as bloodthirsty monsters, transformed into the demons they were seen as after centuries of distrust. After the conclusion of the Third Shinobi World War, the organization Akatsuki began to operate, with the goal of capturing all Biju to create a new world, free from wars and bloodshed. Each Biju possesses a unique ability. Biju have vast reserves of powerful red chakra at their disposal, which Biju can easily transfer to any shinobi. Since Biju are aggregations of chakra, Biju cannot be killed: Biju chakra will regenerate over time. Biju can communicate telepathically with each other and their Jinchuriki, possessing several levels of consciousness. At the initial level, Biju are apparently in a kind of habitat, usually somehow imprisoned by those who used Fuinjutsu for sealing purposes. At the second level, all Biju can gather and communicate with each other without any restrictions. Jinchuriki can also access this level, but to do so, they must be strongly bound by trust with their Biju.
