| Technique Guide  Jutsu, or skills/techniques, are the
mystical arts a ninja will utilize in battle. To use a jutsu, the ninja
will need to use his chakra. Chakra comes from two places. (1) the body
energy inherent in your trillions of cells and (2) the mental &
spiritual energy gained from exercise and experience.
To perform a jutsu, the ninja will bring out and release these two
energies. By forming handseals, the ninja is able manifest the desired
jutsu. Because of the extensive number of hand seals and different
combinations, there are thousands of potential jutsu to be discovered.
Based on which jutsu the ninja uses, the type and amount of chakra
will be different as would the elements you would be to employ. The
five main elemental styles are also the five names for the Five Great
Shinobi Countries: Fire, Wind, Lightning, Earth and Water. Each ninja
has the potential to better utilize one of these styles and potentially
more. A special elemental detecting paper is used to determine ones
type. The paper comes from trees which are specially grown with chakra.
When the ninja imbues the paper with a portion of their chakra, the
paper will alter to reveal one's type. The paper will rip in two for
Wind, burn for Fire, become wet for Water, fall apart for Earth and
crumple for Lightning. For example Kakashi is a predisposed Lightning
type, while Sasuke is both Lightning and Fire for the Uchiha clan
specialty.
The five elements themselves form a cyclical strong and weak
relationship against each other. The element of Fire is stronger than
Wind, as the usage of Wind merely increases the strength of Fire. So if
a Fire jutsu came up against an equal strength Wind jutsu, the Fire
jutsu is more likely to win out. Wind in turn is stronger than
Lightning. Lightning is stronger than Earth and Earth in stronger than
Water. Water finishes the cycle by naturally winning out over Fire.
Combining elements to form new ones requires a bloodline ability
or the usage of Bijuu granted powers. These new elements do not have
corresponding strong/weak relationships. | |
