Main Jutsu Types

Ninjutsu

Main article: NinjutsuNinjutsu (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: GenjutsuGenjutsu (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: TaijutsuTaijutsu (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.

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.
