@TK (shlav) Take your time with the TV seiries, also all forms of ninja are applicable here.
Here from the Naruto Wiki :3
Jutsu (術,
Literally meaning: skills/techniques) are the mystical arts a ninja will utilise in battle. To use a technique, the ninja will need to use their
chakra. To perform a technique, the ninja will bring out and release the two energies of chakra. By forming
hand seals, the ninja is able to manifest the desired technique. Because of the extensive number of hand seals and different combinations, there are thousands of potential techniques to be discovered.
There are three basic types of techniques:
ninjutsu,
genjutsu and
taijutsu. Subcategories exist, including
fūinjutsu,
juinjutsu and
senjutsu. There are also
kekkei genkai abilities which aren't techniques, but inherited abilities passed down through certain clans (however, they can be used as base for certain techniques, such as
Haku's
Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystals). Kekkei genkai can also be attributed to certain parts of the body, such as
dōjutsu.
Without proper control of their chakra, a ninja will produce ineffective or weakened technique which will lead to them running out of chakra early in a fight. To manipulate their chakra more easily,
hand seals can be used. With these hand seals, users can control their chakra and technique with higher efficiency. Different techniques require different hand seals.
Ranks
Depending on the difficulty or skill necessary to perform a technique, they are ranked differently. There are six different ranks in techniques:
- E-rank - Learned by Academy students. Are the basic and most fundamental techniques for all ninja.
- D-rank - Genin-level techniques. Can be achieved by all genin, though many ninja only learn their "type" of technique.
- C-rank - Chūnin-level techniques. Sometimes learned by genin who have trained extensively.
- B-rank - Jōnin-level techniques. Require high levels of chakra to use.
- A-rank - Kage or jōnin-level techniques. Require great control over one's chakra and may be forbidden.
- S-rank - Secret, extreme level techniques. Are typically unique to a single user.
Kekkei Genkai and
unique abilities normally do not have a rank.
Main Jutsu Types
Ninjutsu
Main article:
Ninjutsu Ninjutsu (忍術,
Literally meaning: Ninja Techniques), is a term referring to almost any
technique which allows the user to do something that they otherwise would be incapable of doing, including the usage of
weapons.
Genjutsu
Main article:
Genjutsu Genjutsu (幻術,
Literally meaning: Illusionary Techniques) are techniques that are employed in the same fashion as
ninjutsu, requiring
chakra and
hand seals. However, the primary difference between the two is that the effects of genjutsu are illusory; instead of attacking the victim's body, like
taijutsu or ninjutsu, genjutsu techniques manipulate the flow of chakra in the victim's brain, thus causing a disruption in their senses. According to the
Second Mizukage, genjutsu fittingly falls under the broad category of
Yin Release.
[1]
This is frequently used to create false images or to cause pain from trauma (because the body is led to believe it is in pain); however, there are plenty of other uses depending on the situation.
Taijutsu
Main article:
Taijutsu Taijutsu (体術,
Literally meaning: Body Techniques) is a basic form of
techniques and refers to any techniques involving the martial arts or the optimisation of natural human abilities. Taijutsu is executed by directly accessing the user's physical and mental energies, relying on the stamina and strength gained through training. It typically does not require
chakra, though chakra may be used to enhance its techniques. Taijutsu generally requires no
hand seals to perform, occasionally making use of certain stances or poses, and are far quicker to use than
ninjutsu or
genjutsu. Taijutsu is simply put: hand-to-hand combat.
Sub Jutsu Types
Barrier Ninjutsu
Main article:
Barrier Ninjutsu Barrier Ninjutsu (結界忍術,
Kekkai Ninjutsu,
Literally meaning: Barrier Ninja Techniques) is the incorporation of barriers into techniques. Essentially these techniques allow the users to manipulate barriers. The user can erect barriers that can be used to protect themselves, or to trap an opponent, amongst other various uses.
Bukijutsu
Main article:
Bukijutsu Bukijutsu (武器術,
Literally meaning: Weapon Techniques) are techniques that entail the use of any handheld weapons in combat, whether the users be
shinobi or
samurai. Students of the
Academy are taught the use of
ninja weapons and tools like
shuriken and
kunai, learning how to throw and wield them through target practice.
[2][3][4]
Chakra Absorption Techniques
Main article:
Chakra Absorption Techniques Chakra Absorption Techniques (チャクラ吸引術,
Chakura Kyūin Jutsu,
English TV: Chakra Absorption Jutsu) are techniques that allow the user to absorb another individual's
chakra. They are typically used to absorb chakra from an opponent and add it to the user's own chakra reserves, allowing them to utilise it as if it were their own, while simultaneously exhausting the opponent's physical energy and limiting the techniques that they can perform.
Chakra Flow
Main article:
Chakra Flow Chakra Flow (チャクラ流し,
Chakura Nagashi) refers to both the flowing of chakra through an object as well as any technique that increases the potency of a weapon by flowing
chakra through it. Usually, elemental chakra is used to flow through bladed weapons in order to either dramatically increase their various pre-existing properties or to gain additional advantageous effects. The user must be touching the tool to initiate chakra flow, but direct contact with the weapon is not necessary to maintain chakra flow. Similarly, techniques such as
Kakuzu's
Earth Release: Earth Spear,
Rōshi's
Lava Release Chakra Mode and the
Fourth Raikage's
Lightning Release Chakra Mode are used to increase close-quarter combat offence and defence by flowing chakra directly through the user's body. However, whether through an individual's body or weapon, the exact effects observed are entirely dependent upon the respective nature and amount of the chakra used.
Clone Techniques
Main article:
Clone Techniques Clone Techniques (分身術,
Bunshinjutsu) are techniques that create copies of the user or their tools. Though the standard
Clone Technique is considered the most basic of
ninjutsu, these techniques are highly versatile, often used to distract enemies or fool them into thinking they have landed a hit on the user. Corporeal clones can aid the user in physical combat, and even use techniques independent of the original. There are varying methods of creating clones, some techniques using only
chakra while others require some sort of medium to give the clones form and substance. There are also clone techniques that transform another person or animal into a clone of the user, such as the
Beast Human Clone, as well as
genjutsu which create illusory clones, such as the
Mist Servant Technique.

Cooperation Ninjutsu
Main article:
Cooperation Ninjutsu Cooperation ninjutsu (連携忍術,
Renkei Ninjutsu), called
collaboration techniques (コンビ術,
Konbijutsu,
English TV: collaboration jutsu) in the anime, pertains to a branch of techniques where two or more existing techniques are combined to produce a much more powerful one. When initiated with the right timing, one will feed into each other to become a technique of greater power than the sum of its parts.
Fūinjutsu
Main article:
Fūinjutsu Fūinjutsu (封印術,
Literally meaning: Sealing Techniques) are a type of
jutsu that seal objects, living beings,
chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within another object. Fūinjutsu can also be used to restrict movement or unseal objects either from within something or someone.
Hiden
Main article:
Hiden Hiden (秘伝,
Literally meaning: secret tradition) or simply "secret" techniques are passed down orally from generation to generation in certain regions or
clans.
The groups who possess these techniques are usually extremely secretive about them in order to ensure that no one other than the members of the group or clan learn them. As such, they are passed down through oral means instead of being written down or recorded. A few hiden techniques require a special ability or lineage and as such are usually the pride and fame of the clan that possesses them.
Juinjutsu
Main article:
Juinjutsu Juinjutsu (呪印術,
Viz: Curse Mark Jutsu,
Literally meaning: Cursed Seal Techniques) are a type of techniques used to bring someone under the control of the user. By applying a seal to the victim's body, the user brings the victim's abilities and actions under his/her control.

Kenjutsu
Main article:
Kenjutsu Kenjutsu (剣術,
Literally meaning: Sword Technique) pertains to techniques that entail the use of
swords, whether the users be
shinobi, or
samurai. Kenjutsu can be used in combination with
taijutsu,
ninjutsu,
fūinjutsu,
chakra flow and even
genjutsu in order to achieve more devastating techniques. It is regarded as a branch of
bukijutsu.

medical-nin". The use of medical ninjutsu requires very advanced
chakra control, as well as extensive knowledge on such things as herbs, medicines, the human body and even poisons.
Ninshū
Main article:
Ninshū Ninshū (忍宗,
Viz: Ninja Creed,
Literally meaning: Shinobi Sect) is the religion and the peaceful precursor of modern
ninjutsu created by
Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the first one to understand and teach the mystery of
chakra. The teachings of ninshū were meant to give people a better understanding of themselves, as well as others, and lead the world into an era of peace. Unfortunately, ninshū would eventually come to be known as ninjutsu, a more weaponised version of the Sage's teachings.

Main article:
Nintaijutsu Nintaijutsu (忍体術,

Reincarnation Ninjutsu Reincarnation Ninjutsu (転生忍術,
Tensei Ninjutsu,
Literally meaning: Life Transfer Ninja Techniques" or "Reincarnation Ninja Techniques) are techniques that usually require or accomplish the transfer of life force between people. These techniques are generally classified as
kinjutsu because the restoration of one life typically requires the sacrifice of the life of another, or that it violates the laws of nature and morality.
Senjutsu
Main article:
Senjutsu Senjutsu (仙術,
English TV: Sage Jutsu,
Literally meaning: Sage Techniques) is a specialised field of
techniques that allows the user to sense and then gather
natural energy. Senjutsu practitioners learn to draw the energy of nature inside of them, blending it with their own
chakra. This adds a new dimension of power to the practitioner's chakra, resulting in the creation of "
senjutsu chakra" (仙術チャクラ,
senjutsu chakura).
Shurikenjutsu

Literally meaning: Bloodline Limit) are abilities passed down genetically within specific
clans. It's possible for a
shinobi to have more than one of these abilities. Kekkei genkai abilities that work via the user's eye are called
dōjutsu. Other kekkei genkai include mixing one type of elemental chakra with another, creating a new one unique to the users, which is usually impossible for normal ninja, or other bodily manipulations that are usually unachievable by normal standards.
Kekkei Tōta
Main article:
Kekkei Tōta Kekkei Tōta (血継淘汰,
Literally meaning: Bloodline Selection) is an advanced branch of jutsu that is more advanced than the jutsu class of
kekkei genkai.

fire.
Kekkei Mōra
Main article:
Kekkei Mōra Kekkei Mōra (血継網羅,
Literally meaning: Bloodline Encompassing) is an advanced branch of jutsu unique to

Dōjutsu
Main article:
Dōjutsu Dōjutsu (瞳術,
English TV: Visual Jutsu,
Literally meaning: Eye Techniques) are
genetic ninja abilities that utilise the eyes, granting the wielder ocular abilities. Being a by-product of specific
kekkei genkai, dōjutsu are not classified as one of the major
jutsu types. They do not require the use of
hand seals and in some cases facilitate in the use of or defence against
genjutsu,
taijutsu and
ninjutsu and then defeat their opponent. All known dōjutsu also provide the user with some unique abilities, such as an extended field of vision or predictive capabilities. The use of dōjutsu often-time consumes a great deal of chakra. It should also be noted that along with the eye itself, techniques that stem from the eye's use are also known as dōjutsu. Some of these techniques can be used without an activated dōjutsu and even if the user does not actually possess eyes at all
