Mission Levels Naruto

Info :

In Naruto, there are many different rankings for missions. The higher the rank you are, the more dangerous and higher level the mission is. Below is a list of the different levels.

Rank S
These missions may not always be the most dangerous but only ANBU members or the Kage participates in them. It is very unlikely anyone of a lower rank would be part of these missions.

Rank A
This type of mission is the most dangerous. Ninjas ranked Jounin or higher are usually assigned to these missions. Very often, if things are very bad you will see a Kage participating. Generally you will not find a ninja of lower rank than Jounin in these types of missions unless it is absolutely necessary. Rank A missions are extremely dangerous and usually there is a death or severe injury as a result of it.

Rank B
Missions B ranked are not as tough as A ranked missions. The difficulty is still pretty high. Most B ranked missions involve retrieving important documents or protecting someone and taking them to a certain location. Mostly Jounin or Chuunin ranked ninjas perform these types of missions.

Rank C
These types of missions are generally performed by Chuunins. At times you will even see skilled Genins performing missions C ranked. Most C ranked missions involve protecting an elderly or sending/retrieving a document.

Rank D
D ranked missions are the lowest ranked. These missions are almost all performed by Genins. These missions usually are tedious work or basically useless work. Some missions include: saving an animal, taking out the garbage, walking an animal, or other pointless and boring work. Genins who want to be Chuunins must complete 8 of these missions.

Fighting Styles

Info :

In the series of Naruto, every ninja is unique. Each has a specific way of fighting or strategy to win. Below are some detailed descriptions of some of the ninjas' fighting styles. The information is organized by the Genin teams.

Hatake Kakashi's Team

Uzumaki Naruto - Naruto does not use a favorite fighting style, though he leans toward Ninjutsu. His Taijutsu move is his Uzumaki Naruto Combo (a combination Kage Bunshin and a copy of renge). Also when Naruto is in predicaments, he likes to use the Kuchiyose No Jutsu (Summoning technique). It allows him to summon a huge frog for his aid. Usually he just uses a lot of combos with his Kage Bunshin (Shadow Replication), which is his most used technique. Naruto was also uses a very powerful attack called the Rasengan. After the time skip, Naruto's fighting style does not change by much. He is able to control is chakra better and also use the Rasengan attack. He relies heavily on the Kyuubi chakra inside of him and as a side effect, he begins to lose control after the third tail is released. Naruto also created a new augmentation to the Rasengan which is more power than the original.

Uchiha Sasuke - He is the Genin Leader of this group and the genius that has the blood of the famous Uchiha clan. He uses his Sharingan to copy any move used against him. This gives him various fighting styles. He favors Ninjutsu over the others, though he has great Taijutsu skills like Rock Lee. Under the teaching of Orochimaru, Sasuke increases his speed and power. He also learns new attacks such as the Chidori Nagashi.

Haruno Sakura - She has great chakra control so she can deal a fair amount of damage to the opponent by transferring chakra to her hand. She is a Genjutsu expert and can see through almost all Genjutsu techniques. Despite her capabilities, she is thought of as the weakest of her team. Sakura spends a lot of time with Tsunade to become a powerful medical ninja. She has the ability to use her full power of her hands because she wears a special type of glove that helps her control the power.

Maito Gai's Team
Hyuuga Neji - A genius of the branch family of the Hyuuga Clan. He uses the Jyuuken fighting style, which is the strongest Taijutsu in all of Konoha. One of his strongest Taijutsu attacks is the Divination Field, which delivers 64 consecutive strikes to his opponent. Neji also uses his Byakugan to detect the chakra points of his opponents so he knows the areas to attack. Later on, Neji increases his control over chakra so he is able to launch it from an even longer distance. He also makes some variations to his fighting style.

Rock Lee - Since he can't do any Ninjutsu or Genjutsu techniques, Rock Lee uses Taijutsu to fight. Rock Lee favors to use the Renge style when in battle. Usually Rock Lee tries to beat his opponents from his speed and quickness advantages. After the time skip, Rock Lee, with training from Gai, is able to open more gates and also hit with more force.
Tenten - She is one of the best female Genin. She can hit a target in the same place a hundred times. She specializes in weapons and has a Ninjutsu attack called Rising Twin Dragons that launches an array of attacks at her enemies. She is a strong competitor for the 2nd strongest female Genin in Konoha. Tenten later on learns to summon many more weapons at once.

Yuuhi Kurenai's Team
Aburame Shino - He is the genius of the Aburame clan, which use Kikai bugs as deadly weapons. He lets the bugs feed on his chakra and then orders them to fight using his mind. The bugs then suck up an opponent's chakra, making sure the opponent can never fight again. Sometimes if the opponent refuses to give up the bugs will kill the opponent.
Hyuuga Hinata - She is also of the Hyuuga Clan, but she is from the more elevated class - the Head Family. Hinata can use the Byakugan and fights in the same Jyuuken style as Neji, but much weaker. Hinata likes to follow Naruto's fighting style and she earns a lot from his style of fighting.

Inuzuka Kiba - He smells like a dog, looks like a dog, and acts like one. Guess what? He also fights like a dog. But that doesn't mean he isn't strong. His drawbacks are that he is too bossy and impatient. He packs power when he uses his Gujyuu Ninpou Shijayaju no Jutsu (Beast Mimicry Technique) and his combo with Akamaru using food pills, which double their chakra for a while and use an attack called Gatsuuga, or Double Fang Destroyer! Kiba also rides on Akamaru to travel to places now that the dog has grown up.

Sarutobi Asuma's Team
Yamanaka Ino - She is the strongest female ninja in Konoha. Her technique, Shinteshin No Jutsu (Mind Stealing Technique) has been past down in her family from generation to generation. Using it, she becomes a worthy opponent to watch out for in battle.

Nara Shikamaru - He knows only one technique but its a good one. Ninpou, Kage Mane no Jutsu! (Ninja Technique, Shadow Mimicry). His whole clan specializes in these techniques which have been past down from generation to generation. It allows him to make his opponent imitate him. He has an IQ of over 200 that allows him to think at a lightning fast speed and use the surrounding landscape to his advantage.

Akimichi Choji - He likes eating and is fat, so this why Baika No Jutsu (Double Weight Technique) and "Meat Tank" is perfect for him. It allows him to turn into a huge ball and smash his opponents! Choji's technique has been passed down by his clan, which specializes in size changing techniques and special food pills.

Attack Types

Info :

Every technique in the series of naruto is split into three main categories. Below you will find more information about these categories and also more indepth categories.

Main Categories

Genjutsu - Genjutsu techniques are mostly illusionary techniques. These techniques cause the opponent to hallucinate and make them see things that are not really there. Genjutsu type techniques are great to use when you are trying to escape or confuse the opposition.
While your opponent is confused, you can attack without them knowing where you are or you can escape.
Ninjutsu - Ninjutsu is the art of making hand seals and kneading chakra to perform a jutsu (technique). When you make the appropriate hand seal, your desired technique comes forth! Performing Ninjutsu techniques require full concentration and if interrupted, will not work. It only takes a few seconds to successfully execute a Ninjutsu technique, however some can take much longer. Ninjutsu is probably the most used attack type out of the three main categories.
Taijutsu - Taijutsu is the hand to hand combat part of a ninjas' training. It deals with no handseals and chakra is focused throughout the entire body. Taijutsu attacks deal from a variety of slow to fast movements. They vary depending on the amount of chakra used. As known there are only two hand to hand specialists in the series: Gai and Rock Lee.

Indepth Categories
Doujutsu - Doujutsu techniques are performed by with the eye. Doujutsu techniques are powerful because they can read Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and Ninjutsu techniques and defeat them without any physical movement whatsoever. Because of the difficulty and power of these techniques, people who perform Doujutsu techniques are usually geniuses. The Sharingan is considered a Doujutsu technique.

Hijutsu - Hijutsu techniques are special techniques that can only be performed by a specific ninja, or only by ninjas from a specific clan or village. These techniques usually have to do with the heritage or physical appearance of the ninja. A lot of times, these techniques are a ninja's most powerful attack and favorite to perform. There are many different Hijutsu techniques in the series. Bloodline limits are considered Hijutsu techniques.

Kinjutsu - Kinjutsu techniques are techniques that are illegal and outlawed by the Kages. Kinjutsu techniques are extremely strong and can cause huge damage when used. If it is mastered by the wrong person; a whole village could be in severe jeopardy.

Hokages

Info :

Find out all you need to know about the Hokages that have and are ruling Konoha!
1st Hokage
Name: Unknown (Referred to as Shodai Hokage)
Strengths: Herculean Strength, Secret tree Jutsu
Family Members: The 2nd Hokage (Brother), Tsunade (Granddaughter), and Nawaki (Grandson)
Students: Sarutobi the 3rd Hokage (Deceased), Homura, and Koharu the Hokage's advisors

Info:
Sixty years ago, Shodai Hokage led a group of Shinobi to a lush forest land and founded the village of Konoha. Unfortunately during that chaotic era, he passed away shortly after the creation of the village.
He later returned in the series when Orochimaru resurrected him using the Impure World Resurrection (Kyuchiyose Edo Tensei) and was forced to fight his former disciple. The 3rd had to stop his former teacher and used the 4th's Demonic Soul Seal (Fuuinjutsu Shiki Fuujin) sealing his soul into one of his Kage Bunshins. With this jutsu, whoever's soul is sealed will suffer for all eternity in the belly of the Shinigami, never gaining release, hating each other and battling for all of eternity. Shodai Hokage's fighting style is a direct one, preferring to attack the opponent head on in hand to hand combat rather than attack from a distance or rely on jutsus to do his dirty work. Sadly because of this, we only see him use one jutsu.
The Secret Tree Element Technique: Birth of the Trees (Mokuton Hijutsu, Jukai Koutan), is a secret technique that (allegedly) only he could use and a number of the large trees growing in Konoha were created with this technique. By using his chakra as a source of life, Shodai Hokage can cause massive trees to grow exponentially fast as well as control their movement whilst they grow. This is particularly useful for ensnaring opponents or wrecking buildings and is truly one of the coolest jutsus ever. When Orochimaru discovered that only those with the bloodline of the 1st Hokage could control Bijuu, he decided to break into the grave of the 1st and steal his DNA. He then implanted the DNA into 52 test children. Only one survived as a clone of the 1st and his name was Yamato.

2nd Hokage
Name: Unknown (Referred to as Nidaime Hokage)
Strengths: Genjutsu, Water Style Jutsus, Agility
Family Members: The 1st Hokage (Brother), Tsunade (Grandniece), and Nawaki (Grandnephew)
Students: Sarutobi the 3rd Hokage (Deceased), Homura, and Koharu the Hokage's advisors

Info: The cofounder and creator of the Konoha, he was the 2nd Hokage. He is the younger brother of the 1st Hokage and took over the role of Hokage when his brother stepped down. Nidaime inherited his older brother's will and was responsible for the creation of the Ninja Academy and others organizations within the village. The great ninja war broke out afterwards; in his dying moment, Nidaime instructed the future generation to pacify the war and ensure the village's prosperity. He later returned in the series when Orochimaru resurrected him using the Impure World Resurrection (Kyuchiyose Edo Tensei) and was forced to fight his former disciple. The 3rd had to stop his former teacher and used the 4th's Demonic Soul Seal (Fuuinjutsu Shiki Fuujin) sealing his soul into one of his Kage Bunshins. In contrast to his brother, who prefers to assault the enemy head on, Nidaime is a more nimble fighter preferring to capitalize on his speed and agility to catch his opponents off guard. He is also very dangerous at a distance thanks to his prowess with Water Style techniques, and he can even use extremely powerful water attacks in areas with no water nearby, a feat that has yet to be repeated.

3rd Hokage
Name: Sarutobi
Strengths: Knowledge of over 1,000 Jutsus, Genius intelligence, Summoning
Family Members: Konohamaru (Grandson), Asuma Sarutobi (Son)
Students: Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru

Info:
Sarutobi is a kind old man in every sense of the word; he regards everyone living in Konoha has a family member often acting like a grandfather to his people instead of just their leader. His biggest drive in life is to keep Konoha safe and to keep the people who live there happy.
He is also known to be a bit of a pervert as seen by his vulnerability to Naruto's Sexy Jutsu as well as his interest in young Jiraiya's peeping techniques. Despite his calm and kindly exterior however, he is an incredibly strong leader with guts and willpower to match. Not much is known about Sarutobi's life before he became Hokage. We do know that as a Jounin he was in charge of training the Gennins that would one day become the 2 Legendary Sennins, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru, and that he pioneered the "get the bells" drill the Kakashi would later employ on Naruto and the rest of team seven. After the 4th Hokage was chosen he decided to retire and let the 4th run the village, but after the 4th died fighting Kyuubi Sarutobi took the position of Hokage once again.
It was because of his leadership skills that lead Konoha to victory and peace against both the Earth and Thunder countries. He took great interest in Orochimaru as a student because of Orochimaru's genius and hoped he would someday inherit the title of Hokage and rule the village justly. This dream blinded him from seeing Orochimaru's inner malice until one day Orochimaru was caught experimenting on Konoha ninjas trying to create in immortality jutsu. Even when confronted by this evidence, Sarutobi still couldn't bring himself to kill his former student and Orochimaru escaped to wreck havoc later.
Prior to the Wind and Sound country's invasion of Konoha he was planning on staying in office for 5 more years before choosing a 5th Hokage, but that plan was never realized do to his defeat at Orochimaru's hands, but even in defeat the 3rd managed to save his homeland by stealing the life-force from Orochimaru's hands which rendered them useless, and him jutsu-less. Being a master of over 1,000 jutsus, including every secret jutsu in Konoha, Sarutobi has a pretty nice arsenal of moves to choose from, though he seems to favor fire and earth style jutsus.
This is most likely due to the fact the fire jutsus are Konoha's specialty and the fact that he spent a great deal of time fighting against enemy ninjas from the earth country, thus he has a great deal of experience with them. But his arsenal alone is not what makes him so dangerous, it's the way he uses and combines them that lead to him being called the most powerful Hokage of all time (at least, when he was in his prime). An example of this was seen in his fight with Orochimaru wherein he combined the Earth Style; Earth Dragon Missile (Doton, Doryuudan), a jutsu that causes a dragon head of mud to rise up and spit mud missiles at the opponent, with the Fire Dragon Missile (Karyuudan) which causes the user to breath intends flames, to create missiles of molten lava. Like most upper level Shinobis, Sarutobi also knows the Summoning Jutsu (Kyuichose No Jutsu); in his case he is able to summon monkeys. The only one of whom we've seen him summon (and most likely the strongest of the monkeys) is Enma, the eldest Monkey a.k.a. The Monkey God, King Enma. While he's not as large as some of the other Kyuichose No Jutsu animals, Enma's extremely tough, as he is able to physically fend off a Kage level opponent without too much difficulty.
His true power though, is his unique ability to transform into a black and gold Bo staff called the "Free Forming Diamond pole," (Kongou Nyoi). As its name suggests this weapon is as hard as a diamond and can adjust its size and length at will. not only that, but since Enma is the actual weapon itself he/it can move around completely unaided, he can also multiply himself and cause his eyes and arms to sprout from anywhere on the pole.
As a last resort Sarutobi has the ability to call on the most power and most dangerous jutsu created by the 4th Hokage, the Demonic Soul Seal (Fuuinjutsu Shiki Fuujin). This is the same technique the 4th used to seal Kyuubi inside Naruto's body so the sheer power of this jutsu is beyond compare. This Jutsu allows the user to call upon a Shinigami or "Death God" which joins with the actions of the user.
Shinigami reaches into an outline of a soul in front of him which is actually the user. When the user grabs the victim, the Shinigami extends his hand through the soul outline and comes out from the stomach of the user.
The Shinigami's hand goes into the enemy's stomach where from it literally rips the soul out. After the soul is pulled back into the user, the user says "Fuuin" (Seal) this completes the seal of the soul in the user's body. This can be used until the user runs out of energy, and since it is a sealing jutsu, there is a price. The user pays the price with his life, which death devours. The souls of both the user and the target are kept in the belly of the Shinigami, and will suffer for all eternity in the belly of the Shinigami never gaining release, hating each other and battling for all of eternity. Apparently if the soul is not completely extracted from the body, Death can cut part of it and seal just the part which he has grasped. In Orochimaru's case this was his arms, which are now lifeless and unusable.

4th Hokage
Name: Namikaze Minato
Strengths: Speed, Rasengan
Family Members: Naruto Uzumaki, Uzumaki Kushina
Students: Kakashi Hatake, Rin, Obito Uchiha
Info:
Sadly we haven't seen much of this Konoha legend in action so most info on him comes from the testimony of other characters in the story. All we really know about Minato is that he was the Jounin who trained Kakashi and that he was the one who defeated Kyuubi by sealing him inside Naruto's body. The most dangerous thing about Minato was his insane speed gained thanks to his Body Flicker Jutsu (Shunshin no Jutsu). This jutsu instantly transports him to anyplace he wants, hence the nickname "Yellow Flash of Konoha" and can be used over long distances as long as he knows exactly where he's going.
Another jutsu that Minato uses involes special kunais. These kunais are made so wherever they are throw, the 4th Hokage can immediately teleport to its location. This technique is particularly effective on large numbers of enemies; Minato will simply distribute his special kunai to ally ninja and tell them to throw them at different targets at the same time, then simply teleport to the location and finish off his opponents.
This attack can literally defeats a whole army almost instantly. Minato is also one of only four people in the Naruto world able to use the Rasengan, as well as its creator. While we don't know the peculiars of the Rasengan's birth, we do know it took Minato three years to perfect the technique. Based on Gamabunta's testimony we also know that Minato was able to use the Summoning Jutsu (Kyuichose No Jutsu) to summon frogs just like his teacher. As a last resort Minato has the ability to call on the most power and most dangerous Jutsu that he himself created, the Demonic Soul Seal (Fuuinjutsu Shiki Fuujin), the Jutsu that sealed Kyuubi inside Naruto. This Jutsu allows the user to call upon a Shinigami or "Death God" which joins with the actions of the user.
Shinigami reaches into an outline of a soul in front of him which is actually the user. When the user grabs the victim, the Shinigami extends his hand through the soul outline and comes out from the stomach of the user. The Shinigami's hand goes into the enemy's stomach where from it literally rips the soul out. After the soul is pulled back into the user, the user says "Fuuin" (Seal) this completes the seal of the soul in the user's body. This can be used until the user runs out of energy, and since it is a sealing Jutsu, there is a price. The user pays the price with his life, which death devours. The souls of both the user and the target are kept in the belly of the Shinigami, and will suffer for all eternity in the belly of the Shinigami never gaining release, hating each other and battling for all of eternity. However in the 4th's case he somehow moved Kyuubi's soul into Naruto's body instead of into the Shinigami's stomach, it is presently unknown exactly how he accomplished this, but it's a good thing he did.

5th Hokage

Name: Tsunade
Strengths: Medical Jutsu, Summoning, Insane Physical Strength, Giant Knockers
Family Members: The 1st Hokage (Grandfather), Nawaki (Brother)
Students: Shizune, Sakura Haruno
Info:
Despite growing up during the great ninja wars, Tsunade's younger days were pleasant ones, ninja training with Jiraiya and Orochimaru (who was still a creep back then, but not yet an evil one), living with her little brother, Nawaki (who bears a slight resemblance to Naruto), etc., life was good. Things started to change on Nawaki's 12th birthday, when Tsunade gave him a very special present, a rare stone necklace belonging to their grandfather the 1st Hokage. Nawaki was of course extremely happy to get this as he too dreamed of one day becoming Hokage and protecting Konoha* just like their Grandfather did. Shortly after that day Nawaki was killed, the only details we are given regarding his death are that it happened on some mission and it was really messy, but it is suspicious that Orochimaru ended up in possession of the necklace until Tsunade arrived to see the damage. After Nawaki's death, Tsunade went to government meetings began to push for the training of medical ninjas to be included in squads to reduce the deaths of Konoha ninjas.
Her idea was promptly rejected, not because of lack of interest in her ideas, but lack of time and resources needed to train medical ninjas. One Jounin however, stood up of the idea as he had just lost his little sister in a raid on the village, but to no avail. After that meeting, Tsunade and Dan the Jounin became very close, so close in fact, that the night before the two were to leave on a huge mission Tsunade presented him with the necklace that had belonged to her brother (and grandfather) because Dan too wanted to become Hokage to keep others from feeling the pain he felt after losing his sister.
Sadly, during the mission Dan was severely wounded and in the end the bled to death as Tsunade tried desperately to close the wound. From that night on, Tsunade developed a paralyzing fear of blood due to the fact that she was covered with the stuff after Dan bled to death. She also became disenchanted with the life of a ninja and left Konoha with her apprentice Shizune. Many years later, after the death of the 3rd Hokage at the hands of Orochimaru the Konoha government needed to find a new 5th Hokage fast, the first offered the position to Jiraiya, but he refused.
He then volunteered to go on a trip to find Tsunade so she could fill the position, making sure to take Naruto with him for special jutsu training. While Naruto worked perfecting Jiraiya's jutsu, Jiraiya went from place to place seeing if anyone had seen her (and doing a shit load of drinking and partying). Anyways, after while Jiraiya and Naruto found her, but unknown to them, so had Orochimaru, who had met with her in secret offering her the resurrection of Nawaki and Dan in exchange for healing his damaged arms.
At first she cannot decide, so Orochimaru gives her a week to think it over. During this time, she does some soul searching ad spends time with Jiraiya and Naruto, after hearing their offer to become 5th Hokage, she refuses, and as Naruto often does, he pisses off Tsunade saying that she's an old bat who can't do any good for the village anyways, and how he's going to be the best Hokage ever. After a few minutes of this, Tsunade's famous temper flares up and she beats the shit out of Naruto using only one finger.
After smacking him around for a few minutes, she offers Naruto a bet, if he can master his new Jutsu in one week, she'll acknowledge that he has the potential to become a strong Hokage, and give him the necklace that once belonged to the 1st Hokage (and her brother, and her boyfriend, but I digress). If Naruto fails to master the Jutsu, then Tsunade gets all of Naruto's pocket money, which is quite a lot considering he just won a big lottery in a nearby village. So the days pass, and the day for Tsunade's big decision arrives, all the signs say that she's going to accept Orochimaru's offer. She leaves alone for an abandoned area, even resorting to drugging Jiraiya so he won't follow.
After some brief temptation, she at last changes her mind and decides not only to not heal Orochimaru's hands, but to defeat him, as the 5th Hokage! She also overcomes her fear of blood in order to fight off Orochimaru and his subordinate. At about that time reinforcements show up in the form of Jiraiya who is still drugged so he's only at about 1/3 of his normal power, Shizune, Naruto who's just mastered his new Jutsu and won the bet. What follows is a massive Smackdown between the most powerful ninja's ever. In the end, Orochimaru is beaten and flees off with his underlings, while Naruto is seriously wounded. Fearing a repeat of what happened with Dan; Tsunade desperately tries to heal Naruto, and just barely pulls it off.
It is then admits Naruto has won their bet and the 1st Hokage's necklace changes hands for the final time. After their ordeal Naruto, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Shizune and Ton-Ton all return to Konoha where Tsunade is inaugurated as the 5th Hokage. Honestly though, she's not well suited to the task, she hates doing the necessary office work and if left unchecked by Shizune, would rather spend the whole day drinking and lounging. Her medical skills often come in particularly useful in healing Rock Lee's damaged spine and the various injured Gennins after Sasuke's betrayal, after which Sakura becomes her new protege feeling worthless after her was powerless to stop Sasuke from leaving. Being a medical Ninja, Tsunade does not possess much in the way of combat jutsus (comparatively speaking), but instead takes advantage of her insane physical strength to over whelm opponents, it has even been remarked that one "clean hit" from her is enough to finish any opponent. As with all her fellow Sennins however, she is also skilled with the Summoning Jutsu (Kyuichose No Jutsu), in her case summoning slugs to do her bidding (yes, I said slugs). Sadly, the only one we've met thus far is her most power ally, a rather shy, 6 story tall slug named Katsui, seen here using her signature, 'Acid of 1000 Fangs Jutsu' (Zeshi Nensan). When all else fails though, Tsunade does possess one final trump card, her Genesis of Rebirth Jutsu (Ninpo, Sozo Saise). You see, that small diamond on her forehead is actually a seal that she uses to store vast amounts of unused chakra, when the Genesis of Rebirth is activated the seal expands to its full shape and all the compressed chakra is released.
This chakra not only heals all damage to her body and organs, but can actually regenerate any lost body tissue, making it almost impossible for Tsunade to die in battle. There are however three disadvantages to using this technique; 1) the Jutsu has a strict time limit, and after her time is up, she's completely helpless, as in can't do shit for the rest of the battle, 2) she's so weak after the time limit is up that she is unable to maintain her Anti-Aging Jutsu, and thus reverts to her natural form until she regains her strength, and 3) The number of times human cells can divide is finite, and by forcing her cells into over drive this technique actually shortens her overall life span, so it must the used with extreme caution.

Chakra

Info Story :

Chakra can best be described as power or energy a ninja needs in order to perform techniques. It is probably the most important element in fighting for ninjas. Chakra consists of two main parts: the body energy and spiritual energy. Body energy can be tapped into from the cells in your body. The faster your cells move around in your body the more energy you have. Body energy provides strength for a ninja's mind. Spiritual energy is usually acquired from certain experiences in training or battle. Spiritual energy can be best described as an adrenaline rush or extra burst ofenergy. This may come in handy when a ninja is very tired and worn out.
Controlling, Building, and Protecting!

Controlling chakra during battle is one of the most important aspects in fighting. Another important part is to being able to build chakra to perform techniques. Building chakra is essential if you want to perform Genjutsu and Ninjutsu techniques correctly. Stamina also plays a big part in this. In order to create chakra you must convert it from stamina. When you perform techniques you not only release chakra but also stamina. Being unable to control your chakra can end up being deadly. If you release too small of an amount, the technique you tried to perform will fail. If you use too much chakra you may end up severely hurting or killing yourself. A ninja must have a certain amount of chakra in their body to live.

Circulatory System
In addition to the circulatory system in your body to transfer blood, ninjas also has a circulatory system to transport chakra. Instead of having veins and arteries, chakra is transported from certain pipes and passage ways. Chakra is released by traveling through this system and out. Since the chakra circulatory system goes around many important organs, when the circulatory system is attacked and damaged, your organs may be damaged as well. There are 361 openings in the chakra circulatory system in your body. This opening is called the Tenketsu. When the Tenketsus are blocked you will be unable to perform any techniques. The Byakugan has the ability to neutralize all the holes so chakra cannot flow. It is very important to protect yourself from these types of attacks.

Chakra Gates
Chakra gates are gates in the body that are used as limiters for chakra. They regulate the flow of chakra thoughout a person's body to prevent someone from going beyond his/her body's control. But by using a move like the Primary Lotus, which opens 3 gates, the user can release some of the limits on the body. This means the body can move at a much higher rate and with more power. Opening a gate increases chakra flow temporarily, but by doing this, it means the user puts an incredible amount of force on his/her body which can result in massive injury. There are 8 gates in a body. If all 8 are opened, the body no longer has any limits and can move as fast as it wants. But opening all 8 gates is often fatal and depending on the move, it can kill the user.

Chakra Types
There are five different types of chakra: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, and Lighting. The Uchiha clan tends to have the fire type of chakra, although Sasuke can use both lightning and fire. Kakashi is of the lightning type. Naruto is of the wind type. Most Jounin can use at least two types of chakra. Using two types of chakra at the same time is often a result of a bloodline limit. For Haku, he used water and wind types to create ice. Yamato uses earth and water to create wood. To find out the type of chakra a ninja uses they use paper from a tree that feeds off of chakra. If the paper splits you're type of chakra is wind, if it bursts into flames yours is fire, gets soggy its of water, the papper crumples if you are of lightning, and it turns to dust if you are of earth chakra.

Rivalries

Info :

Throughout the series of Naruto, there are many rivalries between characters. Below you can find information on some of the main rivalries that extend throughout the series.

Naruto & Sasuke.
Since the moment they saw each other in the academy, they've despised each other. Sasuke was popular with all the girls and didn't care; Naruto wasn't popular with any of the girls and did care. Naruto always thought Sasuke was trying to show off, and Sasuke was basically annoyed with Naruto until he saw him in his first true battle with Zabuza. Then Sasuke acknowledged that Naruto wasn't just an annoying ninja and gained a little more respect for Naruto. Now instead of just resenting Naruto, he made it his goal to defeat him. Naruto and Sasuke train intensively to beat each other in combat.

Gai & Kakashi
Since they were in the academy, these two current Jounins have been fighting to top the other. Their record in any kind of competitive game, match, or whatever (which include games of "Rock-Paper-Scissors"), is 49-50, with Gai in the lead by just one. Their rivalry is quite intense, and they are constantly holding various competitions, which range widely, to see who is the best. Another way they express their rivalry is through their team of Gennins. Whenever their pupils go into battle with each other; they urge them on to beat the other because of their rivalry. Many times however, this rivalry is used for comical purposes.

Ino & Sakura
When these two were in the ninja academy, Ino was a more popular girl who helped Sakura gain more confidence in herself and become better at many things. They were best friends and got along really well. But then they both found out that the other liked Sasuke. Because of this, they became rivals, debating who would win the love of Sasuke. Their greatest battle was in the preliminaries of the 3rd part of the Chunnin Exam and it was a tie. During the fight, they stated that this fight wasn't about Sasuke and each of the Shinobis showed their true power.

Neji & Rock Lee
Although this rivalry is not as obvious and doesn't show as often as others, it is there. Neji believes that when a person is born, their fate is decided and cannot be changed. Rock Lee believes that through hard work, anyone can persevere. Rock Lee has always wanted to defeat the genius Neji, but Neji doesn't really accept Rock Lee as being a good Shinobi until Lee's fight with Gaara.

Orochimaru & The Akatsuki
Ever since Orochimaru left The Akatsuki, he has not been looked upon kindly by the members of Akatsuki. Orochimaru has been tracking down the location of The Akatsuki along with his right hand man Kabuto. He met with Sasori and was planning on killing him after finding Akatsuki's location.

Itachi & Sasuke
Itachi completely destroyed the whole Uchiha clan, leaving Sasuke as the only survivor. He told Sasuke to hate him and try to kill him someday. From then, it has been Sasuke's goal to achieve this. However, the only way Itachi stated that Sasuke could defeat him was to have the Mangekyou Sharingan, which he can only obtain by killing his best friend: Naruto. Instead of doing this, Sasuke believes that he can defeat Itachi with his own personal training. He forms the Hebi in order to try to slay his brother.

Suigetsu & Jugo
The extent of Suigetsu and Jugo's past encounters are unknown. It is known that both were subordinates of Orochimaru. They are both part of Sasuke's group called Hebi. Suigetsu and Jugo have previously fought before and were very eager to fight again when Sasuke released Jugo from Orochimaru's containment, having to be separated by Sasuke.

Weapons

Info :

Much like real ninjas, ninjas are trained to use many weapons and tools. Below is a listing of the common weapons ninjas use on quite possibly a daily basis.
Weapons
Animals/Insects - Animals are also considered as weapons. Some animals have chemical reactions when fed food pills. Inuzuka Kiba's dog, Akamaru turns red and grows in size when fed! Also, Aburame Shino of the Insect Clan uses his bugs to sap chakra out of his opponents. Sometimes it's so deadly that they can never fight again!

The Kuchiyose no Jutsu or The Summoning Technique allows the user to summon animals through the space-time continuum. There are many characters who can summon creatures using the Kuchiyose no Jutsu Gama Sennin technique. This however takes skill, training, and chakra. There have been many summons.

Some of the most recognizable ones include: Hatake Kakashi and the Hachininken (8 ninja dogs) with Pakkun being his preferred choice. Maito Gai is able to summon turtles, first completed during the Chuunin Exams. Sarutobi (3rd Hokage) is able to summon Enma (monkey). Tsunade can summon a slug. Jiraiya and Naruto can summon toads.
Orochimaru can summon snakes. The summoning technique is a contract between the ninja and the creature, written on a scroll that the ninja has to sign using their own blood, for he or she to be able to summon a particular creature. Even then (as with the situation between Naruto and Gamabunta), the creature is not bound to obey the ninja. It all comes down to trust and strength such as the relationship between Orochimaru and Manda.

Bombs - Oddly enough, bombs are used in Naruto, but not often. So far there has only been 3 different bombs seen in the series: Smoke, Gas and Light. The smoke bomb is either used as a distraction or an escape tool. The gas bomb is simply a poisonous gas bomb which causes coughing once breathed in. The light bomb is used to blind a person and it was used to blind Tayuya as part of one of Shikamaru's plans.

Chakra Knives - The combination of brass knuckles and a knife can be a deadly weapon to any foe. Chakra extends through the metal of the blade and out the end causing the blade to lengthen. This can act as a surprise to enemies who misjudge the length of the knife and are forced to maneuver unexpectedly to avoid these deadly blades.

Exploding Tags - A commonly used weapon, exploding tags are pieces of paper with the Japanese character "Baku," which means "explode" written on it. These tags can be easily placed on various items and will ignite them and explode after a short amount of time.
Food Pills - You would be surprised to consider this a weapon, but it is. Food pills allow the user to double their chakra and even fight three days non-stop. Also when fed to some animals it creates a chemical reaction. Kabuto, Orochimaru's #1 subordinate has been known to use a blood pill, which regenerates blood lost in battle. The AkimichiClan (Chouji's family) uses a set of 3 pills that greatly increase the user's abilities and can even change their appearance.

Fuuma Shuriken - The fuuma shuriken is also known as the windmill shuriken. It is much larger than the normal shuriken and it is also collapsible. Though the accuracy rate is much lower the effects of being hit by a fuuma shuriken are far more deadly.

Hatake Family Tanto - Another form of a Chakra blade, this tanto belonged to Kakashi's father Hatake Sakumo, who was known as "Konoha's White Fang." This blade has a unique white chakra that will pour forth from Kakashi and his father while they fight.

Hero Water - This special water is from the Hidden Waterfall and it allows a ninja to have a ten-fold increase in chakra for a short period of time. Also by drinking drops of the water, a ninja from a village can increase his or her fighting ability to compensate for a village's lack of a strong Kage leader. Unfortunately in exchange for this power, the water also eats away your life.
Hidan's 3-Bladed Scythe - The Akatsuki member Hidan uses a large three-bladed scythe which he can throw at his opponents. Using a rope running from his arm to the scythe itself, he can launch the whole thing to give him added speed.

Iron Knuckles - Iron knuckles are pointed knuckle weapons with a blade on the outward facing end. Extremely useful in hand-to-hand combats.

Katana - Katanas are one sided swords used as the default weapon for ANBU members. They are also used by the samurai body guards of Gatou.
Kunai - The Kunai is a kind of basic dagger that all ninjas use. It is all-purpose and can be used as a throwing knife or to stab at your opponents. It is extremely vital for all ninja to have.
Kurosuki Raiga's Swords -Raiga's swords are used in conjunction with his lightning jutsu. Raiga can build up an electric charge in his swords which he can then fire at his opponents. He can also charge the swords, ram them into the ground, and then send out tendrils of lightning.

Kusanagi (Grasscutter) - The legendary sword Kusanagi is the personal weapon of Orochimaru. When unneeded, the sword is kept within Orochimaru's body. When he wishes to utilize it, he will open his mouth wide and have it extend from his chest cavity through his throat. This sword has the power to extend to any length and the ability to be moved with Orochimaru's hands. Part of the Legend of Kusanagi is that it can control the wind, but that has yet to be seen.
Makibishi - Makibishi are small nails used to attack the opponent with.Just like the Senbon Needles, it does not hit the opponent very often. Some ninjasuse this weapon as a distraction for his/her main attack. Makibishis have 4 pointed spikes and are also used to slow down an opponent. Its shape makes it so at least one point is always facing up.

Momochi Zabuza's Head Cleaving Sword - Zabuza gained this weapon by being a member of the Mist Seven Swordsmen, an elite ninja squad of Hidden Mist village. When Zabuza fled his village, he brought this sword along with him. This sword was eventually obtained by former Suigetsu, who trains in the hopes of one day becoming a Mist Seven member.
Mouth Ember - Combustible mouth ember is hidden inside the mouth of a ninja. To activate it, a ninja must simply bite the ember. Then the ninja can spit out the ember to ignite combustible items.

Nidaime's Raijin Sword - The legendary Raijin (God of Lightning) sword belonged to the Second Hokage. After his death, it remained in Konoha as a legendary artifact. Leaf ninja Aoi convinced Idate to steal the sword, and Aoi then took the weapon to Hidden Rain and defected to their village.

Ointment - Ointments are simply used as a healing cream or used to relieve pain.
Samehada (Sharkskin) - This sword resembles Zabuza's sword except that along the length of the blade are shark skin scales which serve to rip the flesh from the victim it is turned against. Kisame gained this weapon by being a member of the Mist Seven Swordsmen.
Senbon Needles - Senbon needles, is mainly used for Acupuncture (a form of Chinese healing that includes sticking needles in strategic spots on your body, redirecting ki or your life force so that it balances out). However some ninja, properly trained, can use them as deadly weapons. One of the reasons it is not all that popular is it requires extreme accuracy and speed, fore these are only deadly if they hit a vital area of the body. Masters of the Senbon Needle combat are in a way, masters of illusion. With the right precision and timing, a ninja can throw a Senbon Needle seemingly at a vital target on an ally, but actually missing it by a few inches. This causes the ally to go into a death-like trance in which the ninja will appear dead. Even if the opponents were to take precautions to see if they are really dead.

Shuriken - The shuriken, otherwise known as ninja stars, is a very deadly and commonly used weapon. There are two types of shuriken: the tiny ones which are more smaller and easier to throw, and the Fuuma Shuriken: a huge shuriken used for fast and easy killing. It is very unwieldy, but if it hits you, you're as good as dead! While the Fuuma shuriken is preferred by the older and more experienced ninja, some Genin find it easier to use than the regular sized shuriken.

Smoke Grenades - Smoke grenades are simple battles items often used in a fight. To activate a smoke grenade, the top must be pulled off. Once it is pulled off, smokes starts coming out allowing a ninja to maneuver around unseen.
Umbrella - Umbrellas are used by the ninja of the Rain village. These umbrellas are mainly used to conceal thousands of needles which, when the umbrella is thrown into the air spinning, spread out in a rain-like fashion.

Wire - Wires are simple thin metal wiring often tied to the kunai or shuriken and thrown to in groups to fasten an enemy to a tree or rock.
