List of ninjutsu in Naruto (S-Z)
This is a list of ninjutsu present in both the Naruto manga and anime that begin with a letter between S and Z. All ninjutsu are listed by the literal translation of their Japanese name.
S
Sand Clone
- Name: Suna Bunshin, 砂分身, literally "Sand Clone" or "Sand Replication", Viz "Sand Doppelganger"
- Type: No rank, Supplementary
- Users: Gaara
This jutsu creates a clone of Gaara out of sand. Perhaps the most versatile of all clones, this variant does not disperse when hit. When attacked, the affected area turns back into sand and snags the opponent. Major damage must be caused to actually disperse the clone (destroying its head, for instance); otherwise, it can simply reform.
While Gaara's functional sand clone is quite obviously a clone, Gaara can create non-functional clones that look just like him. These clones, however, are simply hollow shells, as seen in Gaara's fight against Rock Lee.
Sand Drizzle
- Name: Suna Shigure, 砂時雨, literally "Sand Drizzle" (a.k.a. "Rain of Sand")
- Type: No rank, Offensive, All ranges
- Users: Gaara
This jutsu is an alternative to Gaara's Desert Coffin; it gathers sand in the air and then targets the opponent from above, covering them in a rain of sand.
In the second movie, an alternate form of this jutsu was shown in which Gaara forms the sand into needle-like projectiles and fires them towards his opponent at a very high speed.
Sand Shuriken
- Name: Suna Shuriken, 砂手裏剣, literally "Sand Shuriken"
- Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Gaara
Once Gaara begins transforming into Shukaku, he can throw shuriken made from sand. Unlike regular shuriken, these are merely fast-moving balls of sand that cause blunt trauma, not actual wounds. They are thrown much faster than regular shuriken, however, so the blunt trauma caused can be considerable.
Secret Healing Wound Destruction
- Name: In'yu Shōmetsu, 陰癒傷滅, literally "Secret Healing Wound Destruction"
- Type: A-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Kabuto Yakushi
Kabuto can concentrate his chakra to a prepared area on his body and begin regenerating the moment the targeted area becomes damaged. Unlike normal healing, this can actually restore dead cells.
Sexy Technique
- Name: Oiroke no Jutsu, おいろけの術, literally "Sexy Technique", Viz "Ninja Centerfold", English TV "Sexy Jutsu", UK DVD "Art of Eros"
- Type: E-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Naruto Uzumaki, Konohamaru
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.
Sexy: Double Knockout Girls Technique
- Name: Oiroke: Onna no Ko Dōshi no Jutsu, おいろけ・女の子どうしの術, literally "Sexy: Double Knockout Girls Technique"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Konohamaru
This is Konohamaru's "upgrade" to the Sexy Technique. He first creates a shadow clone and they both transform into two nude women in a very suggestive pose.
Sexy: Double Knockout Guys Technique
- Name: Oiroke: Otoko no Ko Dōshi no Jutsu, おいろけ・男の子どうしの術, literally "Sexy: Double Knockout Guys Technique"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Konohamaru
This is a variation of the Double Knockout Girls Technique made exclusively for girls who mock the first version. Konohamaru first creates a shadow clone and they both transform into two nude men in a very suggestive pose. The first time he used it on Sakura, he used Sasuke's and Sai's likenesses, gaining a perverted reaction from Sakura.
Shadow Clone Technique
- Name: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, 影分身の術, literally "Shadow Clone Technique", "Shadow Doppelganger Technique", or "Shadow Replication Technique", Early Viz "Art of the Doppelganger", Recent Viz "Art of the Shadow Doppelganger", English TV "Shadow Clone Jutsu", UK DVD "Art of Shadow Body Splitting"
- Type: B-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Naruto Uzumaki, Third Hokage, Konohamaru, some Jonin-level ninja
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. They can also disperse on their own. 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.
Shadow Imitation Technique
- Name: Kagemane no Jutsu, 影真似の術, literally "Shadow Imitation Technique" (a.k.a. "Kage Shibari no Jutsu, 影縛りの術, literally "Shadow Bind Technique"), Viz "Shadow Possession Technique", English TV "Ninja Art: Shadow Possession Jutsu" (a.k.a. Shadow Paralysis Jutsu)
- Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Nara Clan
The signature move of the Nara family, this jutsu allows the user to control their own shadow and merge it with their opponent's shadow, combining them. This links the movements of the user with the target; the target is subsequently forced to make any movement the user makes. The technique can even force unconscious or partially-conscious targets to mimic the user, as shown when Shikamaru assisted an unconscious Temari in dodging an attack. On the other hand, the user also mimics any movements that the target is forced to make, such as recoil from being punched. It is an extremely versatile technique, as the user can contract and change the shape of their shadow, potentially grabbing multiple targets at once. The degree to which the user's shadow can be stretched is limited by its total surface area. Using the shadows of other objects, the user can extend their shadow beyond its normal range.
The amount of time for which an opponent can be held is limited by the user's chakra, since the user must constantly maintain the jutsu. The jutsu is also more difficult to maintain at greater ranges or for multiple opponents, since the user's shadow must be stretched constantly. At closer ranges, it requires considerably less effort on the user's part. Additionally, the target can force their way free with enough effort, though the amount of effort required to do so is considerable.
The Shadow Imitation Technique used to be called the Shadow Bind Technique, suggesting that the imitation aspect was devised later on and that the original technique could only hold targets in place. Shikaku uses the former name of the technique when performing it.
Shadow Neck Bind Technique
- Name: Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu, 影首縛りの術, literally "Shadow Neck Bind Technique" English TV "Shadow Strangle Jutsu"
- Type: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Shikaku Nara, Shikamaru Nara
After capturing an opponent with the Shadow Imitation Technique, the user can then further extend their shadow up to the target's throat in the shape of a hand, which chokes them to death. Additionally, it can be used to bind the limbs of exceptionally strong targets who can move, even while bound by the Shadow Imitation.
Shadow Sewing
- Name: Kage Nui, 影縫い, literally "Shadow Sewing" or "Shadow Embroidery"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Shikamaru Nara
The user of this jutsu can extend their shadow and create multiple tangible tendrils for various purposes. Such purposes can include using them as stabbing weapons, rope for binding an opponent, or extra appendages for throwing weapons.
It can also be used simultaneously with Shadow Imitation Technique, so it is possible to split the shadow and use both jutsus at the same time.
Shadow Shuriken Technique
- Name: Kage Shuriken no Jutsu, 影手裏剣の術, literally "Shadow Shuriken Technique", English TV "Shadow Shuriken Jutsu" (a.k.a "Fūma Shuriken, Kage Fūsha, literally "Wind Demon Shuriken, Shadow Windmill"", English TV "Demon Wind Shuriken, Windmill of Shadows")
- Type: D-rank, Offensive, Mid to long range (5+m)
- Users: Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto: Ultimate Ninja)
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 thus releasing Kakashi from the water prison.
In the Naruto: Ultimate Ninja series, Naruto employs the above jutsu on his own.
Shadow Summoning Technique
- Name: Kageyose no Jutsu, 影寄せの術 literally, "Shadow Summoning Technique"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Shikamaru Nara
After capturing a target with the Shadow Imitation Technique, the user summons shadowy tendrils from their opponent's body, controlling them in the same manner as Shadow Sewing, but from the opponent's body instead of the user's. In Naruto Shippūden: Narutimate Accel, Shikamaru uses this jutsu to fully ingulf the enemy and constrict them.
"Yose" is also a term used for the endgame move in go and shogi.
Shapeshifting Technique
- Name: Shōten no Jutsu, 象転の術, literally "Shapeshifting Technique"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Akatsuki leader
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.
Shield of Chakra
- Name: Chakura no Tate, チャクラの盾, literally "Shield of Chakra"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Chiyo
A technique used by puppet masters, this jutsu creates a shield using chakra emitted from panels that are released from a puppet's arms. This chakra shield can protect the user from several hazardous attacks; however, enough clotting force (such as Iron Sand) can clog up the puppet's arm joints and render the shield useless.
Shield of Sand
- Name: Suna no Tate, 砂の盾, literally "Shield of Sand", English TV "Sand Shield"
- Type: No rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Gaara
This jutsu causes sand to automatically surround and protect Gaara from harm, even if it's self-inflicted, regardless of whether or not he wants it to. The shield is capable of withstanding considerably strong attacks and projectiles, and can be hardened to a point where it's stronger than steel. It can be defeated by avoiding it completely with extremely high-speed attacks, or merely overcoming the shield with incredible brute force.
Shuriken From All Directions
- Name: Shihōhappō Shuriken, 四方八方手裏剣, literally "Shuriken From All Directions" English TV "Everywhere Shuriken"
- Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Naruto Uzumaki
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.
Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique
- Name: Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, 手裏剣影分身の術, literally "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique" or "Shuriken Shadow Replication Technique", English "Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu"
- Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Third Hokage
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.
Shuriken Shadow Imitation Technique
- Name: Kagemane Shuriken no Jutsu, 影真手裏似の術, literally "Shuriken Shadow Imitation Technique"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Shikamaru Nara
By channeling his chakra into Asuma Sarutobi's trench knives, Shikamaru can use them to pin his opponent's shadow to the ground, immobilizing his opponent. The technique doesn't require any further effort on Shikamaru's part to maintain, but whether or not it has a time limit is unclear. With the opponent pinned, Shikamaru can then use his regular Shadow Imitation Technique to control them at his leisure.
Slug Great Division
- Name: Katsuyu Daibunretsu, 蛞蝓大分列, literally "Slug Great Division"
- Type: No rank, Supplementary
- Users: Katsuyu
Using this jutsu, Katsuyu is able to divide herself into smaller slugs; by doing so, she can escape harm. She can then reform herself by combining her clones once more.
Soft Physique Modification
- Name: Nan no Kaizō, 軟の改造, literally "Soft Physique Modification"
- Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary
- Users: Misumi Tsurugi, Orochimaru
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.
Sphere of Sand
- Name: Tama no Suna, literally "Sphere of Sand"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Gaara
Gaara surrounds himself entirely in a protective orb of sand to guard against attacks. He then uses Third Eye to watch his opponents movements and control sand as necessary to battle them. In addition to being extremely dense, this sand-sphere can form spikes from its surface to spear any would-be attacker who thinks that their own physical strength will be enough to penetrate it. Gaara can also use this technique to shield himself from his opponent long enough to perform his transformation into Shukaku, as demonstrated in his match against Sasuke Uchiha in the Chunin Exam.
Spider Bind
- Name: Kumo Shibari, 蜘蛛縛り, literally "Spider Bind" English TV "Ninja Art: Spider Web Net"
- Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Kidomaru
After gathering his spider webbing into his mouth, Kidomaru spits it out into a wide web pattern. This web can envelop his foes and tie them down to a nearby surface. This stickiness is caused by him mixing his chakra with his body fluid, making the web stronger and more refined than steel. The technique is so refined that even after having left his body, his chakra will continue to flow through the thread to hold his opponent in place.
Spider Cocoon
- Name: Kumo Mayu, 蜘蛛繭, literally "Spider Cocoon"
- Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Kidomaru
This technique makes a cocoon of web around the opponent, immobilizing and leaving them open for other attacks.
Spider Sticking Spit
- Name: Kumo Nento, 蜘蛛粘吐, literally "Spider Sticking Spit"
- Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Kidomaru
Emitting a stream of webbing from his mouth, Kidomaru will grab onto a nearby opponent then swing them around in a circle.
Spider Sticky Gold
- Name: Kumo Nenkin, 蜘蛛粘金, literally "Spider Sticky Gold"
- Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary
- Users: Kidomaru
Unlike Kidomaru's binding webs, this technique produces a liquid that hardens into a golden metal. As well as being very strong, the metal is impervious to chakra. Kidomaru can form the metal into various shapes (throwing spikes, in this case) to use against his opponents, as well as quickly forming a protective shell over his body by excreting it from his pores.
Spider War Bow: Terrible Split
- Name: Kumo Senkyū: Susaku, 蜘蛛戦弓・凄裂, literally "Spider War Bow: Terrible Split"
- Type: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Long range (10+m)
- Users: Kidomaru
When in his level two cursed seal form, Kidomaru expels Spider Sticky Gold from his mouth and gathers it to form a large war bow. He will then open his third eye on his forehead to increase his accuracy. Kidomaru can use basic attacks with the arrow or refine his attacks to meet specific demands, such as a strand of his web to guide it or different arrowheads to change speed or power.
Spider Web Area
- Name: Kumo Sōkei, 蜘蛛巣域, literally "Spider Web Area"
- Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary, All ranges
- Users: Kidomaru
If Kidomaru is in enemy territory and needs to rest while still remaining on guard, he can lay spider thread throughout the surrounding area. Most ninja will recognize the thread as common spider web; however, this thread runs all the way back to a finger on Kidomaru's hand. Slight movement against a webbing thread will pull it all the way back to Kidomaru's finger and alert him to the enemy's presence.
Spider Web Flower
- Name: Kumo Sōka, 蜘蛛巣花, literally "Spider Web Flower"
- Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Kidomaru
After gathering his spider thread into his mouth, Kidomaru will spit net-like cobwebs of the thread at his target. These nets will fly through the air, and upon hitting an opponent, will stick and bind the target to any nearby surface.
Spider Web Unfold
- Name: Kumo Sōkai, 蜘蛛巣開, literally "Spider Web Unfold" English TV "Ninja Art: Spider Web Net"
- Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Kidomaru
After gathering his spider thread into a ball in his hands, Kidomaru releases it in the form of a large spider web to catch his opponent. Once the target touches the thread, its stickiness will hold them in place.
Spiraling Sphere
- Name: Rasengan, 螺旋丸, literally "Spiraling Sphere", English Games "Power Strike"
- Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya, Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake
The Spiraling Sphere is a technique invented by the Fourth Hokage after three years of development. It requires a very high level of chakra control. The Spiraling Sphere incorporates the chakra control learned from the tree-climbing and water-walking exercises to create a ball of concentrated, spinning chakra in the user's hand that is slightly larger than a baseball. For training purposes, teaching the technique is broken into three steps. The first, emphasizing rotation, the user has to learn to pop a water balloon by spinning the water inside in multiple directions with their chakra. The second step, emphasizing power, they do the same with a solid rubber ball. Since the rubber is thicker and air is completely different from water, it forces the user to rely mostly on denser chakra to break it. The final step, emphasizing control, the user has to form a complete Spiraling Sphere by combining what they learned in the previous two steps and making a ball shape shell around the spinning chakra to hold it in regular shape. A regular balloon is often used to train making the shell. In Part II, Naruto develops an improved version known as the Great Ball Spiraling Sphere.
The Spiraling Sphere requires no hand seals to perform, instead relying entirely on the chakra control of the user. Once the user creates a stable Spiraling Sphere, however, it becomes self-sustaining, so the user does not need to provide any more chakra after forming it. The force of the spinning chakra grinds into whatever it touches, causing major damage. The force of the attack also causes significant internal injury. The user can also release the spinning chakra, creating a violent explosive force at the point of contact. The one drawback of the Spiraling Sphere, if it can be considered as such, is that it requires great chakra control. Of course, this will not be a drawback if the user has learned the technique, because they already possess the necessary chakra control. It can be a problem if some force is disrupting the user's ability to mold chakra. Unlike the One Thousand Birds, there is no definite limit to the amount of times this technique can be used in a day. Because it uses far less chakra in comparison, it doesn't carry the same over-use risk as the One Thousand Birds, either.
Despite the Spiraling Sphere being a one-handed technique, Naruto actually uses three or more hands to form it (his one hand makes a shell and his clones spin the chakra) in the first part of the series due to his poor chakra control (which would require spinning it several directions), but in the second part of the series has been shown to be capable of making a one-handed Spiraling Sphere, though he still prefers using clones. When Naruto accesses his tailed transformation states, he can form the Spiraling Sphere with one hand by using demon fox chakra to form the shell, which likely provides better control and power. It also forms irregularly and grows as it mixes with the demon fox's chakra, giving it a purple color.
The anime makes light of the Spiraling Sphere by making it an "all-purpose jutsu". During episode 168, Naruto uses it to mix the ingredients for noodles quickly and evenly. In episode 177, Jiraiya uses it to create a path through a maze of houses, in order to see through everything behind the walls (inadvertently blasting through a woman's bathroom). While outrunning some ninja, Jiraiya uses it to as a propeller for a boat; in this episode, Naruto even commented that it had become a "cheap trick", even though he himself uses it at Jiraiya's insistence. In episode 194 of the anime, Naruto actually throws a Spiraling Sphere to free himself and his friends from a mansion. The last event is a significant deviation on the standard Spiraling Sphere, since it is normally hand-held, and may not be canon since these are filler episodes. He does, however, do something similar when first using the technique against Kabuto.
Kakashi explains after the timeskip that the Spiraling Sphere is an incomplete technique, since the Fourth Hokage originally planned on combining his own nature manipulation with it, but could not due to his premature death. Naruto, however, is capable of doing so. Since his chakra is wind-based, his version is known as Wind Release: Spiraling Sphere, with a further variation known as Wind Release: Spiraling Shuriken.
Sprinkling Needles
- Name: Jouro Senbon, 如雨露千本, literally "Sprinkling Needles", Viz "Rain of Needles", English TV "Ninja Art: Senbon Rainstorm"
- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Mid-range (5-10m)
- Users: Shigure, Aoi Rokusho
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.
String Reeling
- Name:' Ayatsuito no Jutsu, ひもの巻き取ること, literally "String Reeling"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Uchiha Sasuke, Hatake Kakashi
This string can be used in rappeling, or as a method to tie down and restrict the movement of an opponent. The Uchiha clan also utilizes the wire in their Sharingan Soufuusha Sannotachi technique. The wire allows the clan member to pin down an opponent, and then unleash a torrent of fire upon them.
Suicide Bombing Clone
- Name: Jibaku Bunshin, 自爆分身, literally "Suicide Bombing Clone"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Deidara
Deidara uses clay to clone himself then has the clone swallow as much clay as possible. While Deidara uses the distraction to flee, he has the clone explode in order to destroy his attackers. The blast could potentially destroy an entire forest.
Summoning: Earth Release: Tracking Fang Technique
- Name: Kuchiyose: Doton: Tsuiga no Jutsu, 口寄せ・土遁・追牙の術, literally "Summoning: Earth Release: Tracking Fang Technique", Viz "Shinobi Conjuration: Earth Style: Fanged Vengeance Technique", English TV "Ninja Art Summoning: Earth Style: Fanged Pursuit Jutsu"
- Type: B-rank, Offensive, All ranges
- Users: Kakashi Hatake
This jutsu summons eight Ninken (ninja dogs) directly into the ground. The Ninken follow a scent given to them during the summoning and burst from the ground under it, grabbing whatever target happens to be there at the time.
Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer Technique
- Name: Kuchiyose: Yatai Kuzushi no Jutsu, 口寄せ・屋台崩しの術, literally "Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer Technique", English TV "Summoning: Bring Down the House Jutsu" Viz Ninja Art: Summoning: Mayhem Technique
- Type: B-rank, Offensive, All ranges
- Users: Jiraiya
The jutsu summons a giant toad in midair to crash upon a target. The toad wears a pair of enormous katana on its back and is described by Jiraiya as a "snake hunter".
Summoning: Impure World Resurrection
- Name: Kuchiyose: Edo Tensei, 口寄せ・穢土転生, literally "Summoning: Impure World Resurrection", English "Summoning Jutsu: Reanimation"
- Type: Kinjutsu, S-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Orochimaru
This forbidden summoning technique allows the user to revive the dead. The user must first sacrifice a living human in order to tie the deceased person's soul to the world (unlike the normal summoning technique, which only requires some of the user's blood). The sacrificed body is then surrounded with dirt and dust that compacts into the shape of the summoned soul's original body. The resurrected person then rises from the ground in a wooden coffin. At first, the person appears pale and dirty, as most undead are portrayed. The user has to restore their appearance through a special seal.
When revived, the person retains all of their memories. Because of this, the revived person is not completely under the user's control. With the same seal that restores the revived person's appearance, their free will can be erased, thus putting them under the user's complete control. The summoned person can't be killed and any damage to them regenerates. The soul must be removed from the body in order to kill the resurrected person. This technique can be used to summon multiple people at once, depending on the amount of sacrifices and the chakra level of the user.
Orochimaru uses this technique during his battle with the Third Hokage in the Invasion of Konoha arc to summon the First and Second Hokages. He had also intended to summon someone else, but the Third prevented the final summon. In the anime, the coffin partially rises from the ground, and the symbol on it suggests that the Fourth Hokage was the final summon. In the manga, the coffin did not appear as the Third stops the final summon before it can even be attempted, so the occupant of the coffin is left more ambiguous.
Summoning: Quick Beheading Dance
- Name: Kuchiyose: Kirikiri Mai, 口寄せ・斬り斬り舞, literally "Summoning: Quick Beheading Dance"
- Type: B-rank, Offensive, All ranges
- Users: Temari
Unlike most summoning techniques, this jutsu uses Temari's fan as a medium instead of her hand. Temari uses it to summon Kamatari, a scythe-carrying weasel. Once summoned, Kamatari is capable of decimating an entire forest with very powerful slicing winds.
Summoning: Rashomon
- Name: Kuchiyose: Rashōmon, 口寄せ・羅生門, literally "Summoning: Rashomon"
- Type: B-rank, Defensive
- Users: Sakon, Ukon, Orochimaru
This summoning creates a demonic form of the main gate of old Kyoto which is capable of blocking almost any attack. It was previously believed that two people were required to summon it, as both Sakon and Ukon did; however, Orochimaru has been able to summon three of these gates by himself with his Triple Rashomon. To do so, he simply uses both hands, instead of one as is common in a summoning.
Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind
- Name: Kuchiyose: Gamaguchi Shibari, 口寄せ・蝦蟇口縛り, literally "Summoning: Toad Mouth Bind"
- Type: A-rank, Offensive, All ranges
- Users: Jiraiya
This jutsu encloses the surrounding area with the esophagus of a great, fire-breathing toad from Mount Myoboku: Rock Lodging (妙木山・岩宿, Myōboku-san: Iwayado). Jiraiya can then control the stomach, causing it to expand, contract, or grow in whatever direction he wishes. In a filler arc, Jiraiya uses a variation of this jutsu when he summons an able-bodied toad's stomach to protect himself and Naruto from Kagero's Ephemeral Vengeance.
When first used, Jiraiya claimed that no one had ever escaped from this jutsu. Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki manage to escape, however. Itachi uses his Amaterasu to burn through the stomach.
In the video games, parts of the stomach also spew fire, which fits with Jiraiya's description of the animal the toad esophagus originates from.
Summoning Technique
- Name: Kuchiyose no Jutsu, 口寄せの術, literally "Summoning Technique", Viz "Shinobi Conjuration", English TV "Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu"
- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary
- Users: Many ninja, usually above Genin rank
The basic form of all summoning techniques, this jutsu uses a contract, hand seals, and the user's blood to summon an animal from another dimension. As an alternative to the normal hand seals, the same contract that appears on the ground during the summoning can be drawn by hand and activated, producing the same result. The type of animal summoned is determined by the contract. The blood is used as a signature to make the contract, which can be written on a scroll or tattoo, valid. Once summoned, the animal can perform a task or help the user in battle.
The summon usually is subservient to the summoner; however, the more powerful summons, such as Gamabunta and Manda, demand respect and loyalty from their summoners. Manda even demands hundreds of live human sacrifices.
Super Beasts Imitation Picture
- Name: Chōjū Giga, 超獣偽画, literally "Super Beasts Imitation Picture"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Sai
Sai draws creatures on his scroll, then uses this technique to animate them. The animals can act as the corresponding animal would. For example, a bird can be used for espionage or flight depending on its size, while a tiger can attack and maul an opponent. Sai can also control them for other purposes.
Chōjū Giga is a pun for 鳥獣戯画 (Scroll of Frolicking Animals), which literally means "birds and beasts caricature". These emakimono, or picture scrolls, date back to 12th and 13th centuries and are part of the national treasures of Japan. They are sometimes referred to as Japan's oldest manga.

Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction
- Name: Sanbou Kyuukai, literally "Three Buddhist Treasures Vacuum Destruction"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Chiyo with the Chikamatsu puppets
This jutsu is performed by three puppets that were created by Monzaemon Chikamatsu. Three of the ten Chikamatsu puppets come together to form a pyramid.

- Type: No rank, Supplementary

- Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Haku
Using this jutsu, Haku gathers some water from the air and surrounding environment into one thousand long needles, and then directs them a specific target at high speed, leaping backwards before impact so he doesn't get caught in the crossfire. While the needles do surround a target from all sides, they don't appear above the target, creating an escape route. Haku is able to perform this jutsu with one-handed seals, allowing him to pin an opponent's arm and attack while they cannot use any techniques themselves.
Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid
- Name: Zesshi Nensan, 舌歯粘酸, literally "Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid"
- Type: No rank, Offensive, All ranges

- Name: Henge: Kongōnyoi, 変化・金剛如意, literally "Transformation: Adamantine Staff" English TV "Transformation: Adamantine Nyoi"
- Type: No rank, Supplementary
- Users: Enma
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. It is similar to the Monkey King's staff in old Chinese folk tales.

- Type: Unknown
- Users: Jiraiya
This jutsu is the ultimate peeping technique developed by Jiraiya when he was still a student under the Third Hokage. This jutsu allows Jiraiya to escape from any area unheard and unseen. It appears to be ineffective against his longtime female companion Tsunade. It is unknown what this jutsu actually does, but it probably makes him invisible.
Besides its use for peeping, it is also very useful for Jiraiya's espionage activities. When he's about to be caught, this jutsu allows him to escape an area without a trace.
Triple Rashomon
- Name: Sanjū Rashōmon, 三重羅生門, literally "Triple Rashomon"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Orochimaru
This jutsu is an advanced version of the Summoning: Rashomon used by Orochimaru. It creates three demonic forms of the main gate of old Kyoto, instead of just one. Additionally, Orochimaru is able to summon them without the aid of another individual by using both hands for the summon.
Twin Snakes Mutual Death Technique
- Name: Sōjasōsai no Jutsu, 双蛇相殺の術, literally "Twin Snakes Mutual Death Technique", Viz "Twin Snakes Kill Each Other", "Double Snake Assassination Technique", or "Dual Snake Destroyer", English TV "Ninja Art: Twin Snake Sacrifice Jutsu"
- Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Orochimaru, Anko Mitarashi
This forbidden jutsu is a murder/suicide attack – killing both the user and the target. The user makes a one-handed seal with both their hand and the intended victim's. Two snakes are then summoned from the user's sleeve, biting both their wrists and killing them by deadly venom.
In Naruto: Narutimate Hero 3, when Anko performs this jutsu, two summoned snakes wrap themselves around her and her victim and lock themselves in that position by biting each others' necks. The snakes then detonate, causing major damage to Anko's opponent. For gameplay reasons, however, Anko is left unharmed.
U
Uzumaki Naruto Combo
- Name: Uzumaki Naruto Rendan, うずまきナルト連弾, literally "Uzumaki Naruto Combo", Viz "Uzumaki Naruto Barrage", English TV "Naruto Uzumaki Barrage"
- Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Naruto Uzumaki
This jutsu is Naruto's version of Sasuke Uchiha's Lion Combo, which he uses to defeat Kiba Inuzuka in the Chunin exam. (Kakashi comments on the obvious similarities between the two, glad that Naruto at least bothered to change the name, somewhat.) Naruto uses his Shadow Clone Technique to make up for his lack of speed. He makes four clones, which shout "U!" "Zu!" "Ma!" "Ki!" as they kick the opponent into the air, and the real Naruto finishes the combo with "Naruto Rendan!" and a kick from above. In the English dub, the corresponding shouts are "Na", "Ru", "To", "Uzumaki Barrage!" On each occasion Naruto has used this technique, he has performed it differently. Though Naruto's version of the technique is no more effective than Sasuke's, his is ranked higher due to his use of shadow clones.
Uzumaki Naruto Two Thousand Combo
- Name: Uzumaki Naruto Nisen Rendan, うずまきナルト二千連弾, literally "Uzumaki Naruto Two Thousand Combo", English TV "Naruto 2K Uzumaki Barrage"
- Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Naruto Uzumaki
This jutsu was made by Naruto to fight against the transformed Gaara. Basically, it is the same as the Uzumaki Naruto Combo, only 400 times larger. 1,999 Shadow Clones are formed, making 2,000 Narutos combined. Like the original, the clones shout the syllables of the technique, followed by the whole name, while performing it. Unlike the other, however, they end with punches instead of kicks. It is a technique requiring unbelievable amounts of chakra, but can easily pummel most any opponent.
V
Vanishing Facial Copy Technique
- Name: Shūshagan no Jutsu, 消写顔の術, literally "Vanishing Facial Copy Technique"
- Type: B-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Orochimaru
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.
Vibrating Sound Drill
- Name: Kyōmeisen, 響鳴穿, literally "Vibrating Sound Drill"
- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Dosu Kinuta
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. By damaging the victim's inner ear, the victim is rendered off-balance and nauseous. Dosu can use his chakra to redirect the sound waves in midair to his intended target.

- Type: C-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Kisame Hoshigaki, Zabuza Momochi, Kakashi Hatake, Rain ninja, Mist Ninja
This jutsu creates one or more identical copies of the user out of water. Like the Shadow Clone Technique, these clones are capable of attacking and using jutsu, but they are easier to defeat because they are only one-tenth of the user's power. Additionally, they can only be controlled within a certain distance of the user.
Water Prison Technique
- Name: Suirō no Jutsu, 水牢の術, literally "Water Prison Technique", English TV "Water Prison Jutsu"
- Type: C-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Zabuza Momochi, Kisame Hoshigaki
This jutsu is used to trap a victim inside a virtually inescapable sphere of water. The only downside to this technique is that the user must keep at least one arm inside the sphere at all times in order for the victim to remain imprisoned. Clones can be used in place of the actual person, provided that the clone is the one that performed the technique. This jutsu can't be performed without a sufficiently large body of water to supply the water for it. Neji Hyuga has been able to use his ability to release chakra from all of his pressure points to disrupt the flow of chakra inside the prison and break free. Despite the fact that the prison is made up entirely out of water, and the target is unable to move while within it, the target is still able to breathe and speak.

- Users: Zabuza Momochi, Kakashi Hatake

- Type: B-rank, Offensive, All ranges
- Users: Zabuza Momochi, Kakashi Hatake, Second Hokage, Shibuki, Oki
Using this jutsu, the user creates a huge current of water in the form of a serpentine dragon and directs it towards a target. The water used to create the dragon must be present to perform the technique. This technique requires 54 hand seals to perform, more than five times that of almost every other jutsu shown in the series.
Water Release: Water Encampment Wall
- Name: Suiton: Suijinheki, 水遁・水陣壁, literally "Water Release: Water Encampment Wall", English TV "Water Style: Water Wall Jutsu"
- Type: B-rank, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Second Hokage, Kakashi Hatake
This jutsu creates a water barrier to protect the user from any offensive attacks. Both the Second Hokage and Kakashi Hatake were able to perform this without a water source by spitting the water from their mouths.

- Name: Shiro Higi: Jikki Chikamatsu no Shū, 白秘技・十機近松の集, literally "White Secret Technique: Ten Puppet Collection of Chikamatsu"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Chiyo
This jutsu summons the ten masterpiece puppets of the first puppet user, Monzaemon. Chiyo once used it to defeat an entire castle. The puppets were designed as a set, with several special features that combine one or more puppets to create devastating combos.
- One: Extremely strong

- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Orochimaru
This jutsu sends out a powerful explosion of wind from the user's location, easily leveling anything in its path. A variation of this technique involves a smaller blast of wind that gets ignited with flame, making it stronger and more damaging to the target.
Wind Release: Infinite Sand Cloud Great Breakthrough
- Name: Fūton: Mugen Sajin Daitoppa, 風遁・無限砂塵 大突破, literally "Wind Release: Infinite Sand Cloud Great Breakthrough", English "Wind Style: Sandstorm Devastation"

Wind Release: Spiraling Shuriken
- Name: Fūton: Rasenshuriken, 風遁・螺旋手裏剣, literally "Wind Release: Spiraling Shuriken"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Naruto Uzumaki
A variation on the Wind Release: Spiraling Sphere, this jutsu reshapes the wind chakra used in the technique into a large, four-pointed shuriken. The sphere in the center remains intact. The technique is only half-complete, so it dissipates a few seconds after it is formed. Additionally, despite its shape, it can't be thrown like a shuriken. It has to be used against the opponent at point-blank range to work. If used successfully, however, it traps its victim in a swirling dome of wind chakra that attacks the victim with blades so minuscule that they hit at the cellular level and sever the chakra and nerve channels. It seems to be a dangerous jutsu for the user, as Naruto's arm suffered a limited amount of cellular damage in addition to multiple breaks; repeated use could render him unable to use chakra altogether. Tsunade has prohibited Naruto from using this jutsu due to these possible consequences. However, Naruto does not seem to be worried about this due to his abnormal resilience.
Wind Release: Spiraling Sphere
- Name: Fūton: Rasengan, 風遁・螺旋丸, literally "Wind Release: Spiraling Sphere"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Naruto Uzumaki
This jutsu combines Naruto's wind-based chakra with the Spiraling Sphere, maintaining the stability of the previous version while increasing its power by a significant degree. During his training, Naruto was able to create a massive crater in the ground. Unlike the regular Spiraling Sphere, which requires a single clone to help form the sphere, this version requires a second clone to shape the wind-based chakra. Despite the damage it can currently cause, the technique is still only half complete.

- Users: First Hokage
This jutsu grows a giant tree from nowhere. The user can control how the tree grows, allowing them to track down and ensnare opponents in the tree's growing branches.

It has been said that the First Hokage created Konohagakure with this technique.
