List of ninjutsu in Naruto (H-R)
This is a list of ninjutsu present in both the Naruto manga and anime that begin with a letter between H and R. All ninjutsu are listed by the literal translation of their Japanese name.
H
Harem Technique
- Name: Hāremu no Jutsu, ハーレムの術, literally "Harem Technique", Viz "Ninja Harem", English TV "Harem Jutsu"
- Type: A-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Naruto Uzumaki
This jutsu is simply a combination of the Shadow Clone Technique and the Sexy Technique. Naruto uses it to create any number of clones of a beautiful, nude woman. According to Naruto, this technique has never been defeated. Naruto uses a modified form of this technique in episode 193, where he transforms into dozens of clones of Sakura (still clothed) in order to confuse Rock Lee. It works, but Lee does not get a nosebleed, instead breaking out into one of his tear-filled moments of joy.
Haze Clone Technique
- Name: Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu, 朧分身の術, literally "Haze Clone Technique", "Haze Doppelganger Technique", or "Hazy Replications Technique", English TV "Ninja Art: Fog Clone Jutsu"
- Type: D-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Kagari, Oboro, Mubi
Similar to the Clone Technique, Kagari, Oboro, and Mubi use this technique to create hundreds of illusory clones of themselves. Instead of disappearing after being struck, these clones are able to phase through anything, making any attacks futile.
Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique
- Name: Chikatsu Saisei no Jutsu, 治活再生の術, literally "Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique"
- Type: A-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Medic Team, Shizune
This jutsu uses a part of the patient's body as a medium to heal their wounds. It requires an almost room-wide seal, and a lot of time. The medic-nin on hand actually have to trade places after tiring, indicating just how long it takes. Unfortunately, this treatment's success rate isn't very high. This was used on Neji Hyuga during the Sasuke Retrieval arc and on Anko Mitarashi during a flashback in a filler arc.
Hidden Mouth Needles
- Name: Fukumikuchi Hari, 隠口針, literally, "Hidden Mouth Needles"
- Type: Unknown, possibly: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0m-5)
- Users: Shizune
The user is able to spit out needles hidden in their mouth at their opponent.
Hidden Shadow Many Snakes Hand
- Name: Sen'eitajashu, 潜影多蛇手, literally "Hidden Shadow Many Snakes Hand"
- Type: Unknown, probably: Offensive, All ranges
- Users: Orochimaru
This jutsu is similar to the Hidden Shadow Snake Hand, but with far more snakes. In addition, these snakes can stretch to much greater lengths.
Hidden Shadow Snake Hand
- Name: Sen'eijashu, 潜影蛇手, literally "Hidden Shadow Snake Hand", Viz "Striking Snake Technique", English TV "Striking Shadow Snake"
- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Orochimaru, Anko Mitarashi
This jutsu allows the user to project several snakes from their wrist as they make a punching motion towards their intended target. The snakes bite and wrap around the given target, potentially inflicting multiple wounds. They are even capable of poisoning the victim.
Hiding Camouflage Technique
- Name: Meisaigakure no Jutsu, 迷彩隠れの術, literally "Hiding Camouflage Technique"
- Type: A-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Taiseki, Kabuto Yakushi, Kamizuru clan
This jutsu renders the user invisible to the naked eye, and can even hide their scent. Abilities such as the Sharingan and the Byakugan can see through it, however. Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka have also demonstrated the ability to see through this technique in the anime, using their bugs and enhanced sense of smell, respectively. In the anime, Kabuto has been seen using this technique, or perhaps one very similar, in the Forest of Death.
Hiding Mist Technique
- Name: Kirigakure no Jutsu, 霧隠れの術, literally "Hiding Mist Technique", Viz "Kirigakure Jutsu" (translated as "Art of Hiding in the Mist" in a side note), English TV "Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Jutsu" or "Hidden Mist Technique"
- Type: D-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Most Mist and Rain-nin
This jutsu envelops the surrounding area in a dense mist, causing anyone within it to lose the advantage of visibility. The density can be controlled by the user, allowing them to create a mist so thick that they themselves cannot see through it.
Hokage-Style Sixty-year-old Technique: Enclosed Hermitage Return to Society
- Name: Hokage Shiki Jijun Jutsu: Kakuan Nitten Suishu, 火影式耳順術・廓庵入鄽垂手, literally "Hokage-Style Sixty-year-old Technique: Enclosed Hermitage Return to Society"
- Type: S-rank, Supplementary, Short Distance (0-5m)
- Users: Yamato
When performed, this jutsu causes a seal (座, "seat") to appear on the user's hand. After touching their palm to someone "possessed" by a tailed beast, a stream of chakra connects them, and an open structure of sorts forms around the target. This technique forcibly reverses a tailed beast transformation.
Human Puppet
- Name: Hitokugutsu, 人傀儡, literally "Person Puppets"
- Type: S-rank, probably: Hiden, Supplementary
- Users: Sasori, Chiyo
Human puppets are a form of puppets made from actual humans, hence the name. The technique for creating them was developed by Sasori. This technique allows the puppeteer to turn a still living human into a puppet. Because the puppet was once human, it can still use chakra and even some of the jutsu it knew. First, the entrails are removed. Then, once the skin has been peeled off, the user cleanses them and draws out all of the blood. Once the bodies are preserved so they do not decompose, various gadgets are then installed inside of them. The puppet will maintain the same amount of chakra as its original body held when it was alive. If the original ninja was highly skilled, like the Third Kazekage, the puppet can retain its original abilities as well. Even the unique body traits will be passed on to its puppet form, like the Third Kazekage's Iron Sand. Thus, the puppeteer can still use all the original jutsu the ninja once utilized.
Puppets
- Hiruko (ヒルコ) – Created and used by Sasori.
- The Third Kazekage (三代目風影) – Created and used by Sasori.
- Haha (母, "Mother") and Chichi (父, "Father") – The first two human puppets created by Sasori. Used by Chiyo.
- Sasori (サソリ) – Sasori converted himself into a puppet.
- Sasori's hundred puppets, each one a defeated and converted opponent.
I
Important Body Points Disturbance
- Name: Ranshinshō, 乱身衝, literally "Important Body Points Disturbance"
- Type: A-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Tsunade
By attacking the base of the brain stem with chakra converted to electricity, Tsunade is able to flip the brain's movement signals to the arms and legs. For example, if one tried to move their right arm, their left leg would move in the way they wanted their right arm to move.
Ink Clone
- Name: Sumi Bunshin, インク分身, literally "Ink Clone"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Sai
This jutsu creates clones out of ink. The clones revert back to ink once damaged enough.
Iron Sand
- Name: Satetsu, 砂鉄, literally "Iron Sand"
- Type: S-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Third Kazekage
This jutsu was created by the Third Kazekage, who based it on techniques used by one of the previous Host of Shukaku. By converting his chakra into magnetic forces, the Third Kazekage could manipulate iron powder into any shape he desired.
After the Third Kazekage was turned into a puppet by Sasori, the latter was able to use Iron Sand and its related jutsu as well. Sasori used Iron Sand to, among other things, clot the joints of Chiyo's puppet barrier, further disabling them. The effect was cancelled after Sakura destroyed the Third Kazekage puppet.
The Iron Sand used by Sasori was highly poisonous, which was probably added by Sasori himself.
Iron Sand Drizzle
- Name: Satetsu Shigure, 砂鉄時雨, literally "Iron Sand Drizzle"
- Type: Unknown, probably: S-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Third Kazekage
This jutsu is similar to Gaara's Sand Drizzle. The Kazekage uses his Iron Sand to create a rain of Iron Sand bullets, which pours down on the enemy.
Iron Sand World Order
- Name: Satetsu Kaihō, 砂鉄界法, literally "Iron Sand World Order/Cosmos"
- Type: Unknown, probably: S-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Third Kazekage
This jutsu uses Iron Sand to create an expanding sphere of spikes.
K
Kusanagi Sword: Long Sword of the Heavens
- Name: Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Kū no Tachi, 草薙の剣・空の太刀, literally "Kusanagi Sword: Long Sword of the Heavens"
- Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Orochimaru
This technique arms Orochimaru with the Kusanagi (草薙, "Grass Halberd") of Japanese legend. To retrieve it, Orochimaru opens his mouth and a snake comes out. The snake then opens its mouth and produces the Kusanagi. In the anime, it glows a white, bluish aura, possibly symbolic of the name "sword of the heavens". The sword can also be greatly extended in length. Orochimaru has so far reserved the use of the sword to difficult fights, such as those against the Third Hokage, the Fourth Kazekage, Jiraiya and Tsunade, and the four-tailed Demon fox Naruto.
Sasuke also has a Kusanagi sword, which he amplifies with his Chidori Current. Sasuke's sword, however, is not the same legendary sword. Sasuke's Kusanagi resembles a katana in a shirasaya, a wooden sheath designed to conceal or store a blade for a long time, but less suited for battle than an ordinary sheath. Additionally, Sasuke carries his Kusanagi rather than summoning it, enabling him to draw the sword very quickly. Lastly, he is not able to stretch the blade, unlike the real Kusanagi.
In the Naruto: Narutimate Hero game series, Orochimaru can summon more than one Kusanagi blade and can use his chakra to make them float in mid-air and quickly attack the unexpecting victim by dropping suddenly.
L
Last Absolute Defense: Shield of Shukaku
- Name: Saikō Zettai Bōgyo: Shukaku no Tatte, 最硬絶対防御・守鶴の盾, literally "Last Absolute Defense: Shield of Shukaku"
- Type: No rank, Short range (0-5m), Defensive
- Users: Gaara
Gaara creates a small sand sculpture of Shukaku which defends him from virtually any type of offensive attack. Although this technique requires a lot of chakra, it does provide for a very powerful defense. Because the attacker could just walk around the shield, making the defense anything but absolute, Gaara has to make sure his opponent either can't or won't move. The sculpture doesn't closely resemble the Shukaku, but rather a toy-like replica of the beast.
Leech All Creation: Attack Prevention Technique
- Name: Hiru Banshō: Bōka no Jutsu, 蛭万象・防火の術, literally "Leech All Creation: Attack Prevention Technique"
- Type: No rank, probably: Defensive
- Users: Orochimaru, Nagare
The user merges with or within a nearby object, taking on its properties, and avoiding any damage. In the manga, Orochimaru uses this to merge with a tree just before his battle with his former student, Anko Mitarashi. He, however, does not give it a name. In the anime, when Orochimaru uses it during his battle against the Third Hokage, he leaves behind an illusion of himself getting barraged by the Third's attacks in order to confuse his opponent.
Lightning Cut
- Name: Raikiri, 雷切, literally "Lightning Cut", Viz "Lightning Blade/Thrust", English TV "Lightning Blade" (a.k.a. "Lightning Edge")
- Type: S-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- User: Kakashi Hatake
This jutsu is an enhanced form of the One Thousand Birds, and has the same, albeit more powerful, effect. Kakashi is the only one able to use it, and it is named as such because he once cut a lightning bolt with it. This jutsu requires a larger amount of chakra and better chakra control. Because of this, it is an S-rank jutsu, while the One Thousand Birds is an A-rank jutsu.
Living Corpse Reincarnation
- Name: Fushi Tensei, 不屍転生, literally "Living Corpse Reincarnation"
- Type: Kinjutsu, S-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Orochimaru
This kinjutsu, developed by Orochimaru, allows him to transfer his mind to someone else's body. If repeated periodically, it basically grants the user immortality as long as the user can find new host bodies. Orochimaru can only perform this technique once about every three years. It also seems that when the three years are almost over, he is forced to move into another host, as the previous one begins to reject him. This rejection may be due to Orochimaru's hosts being unable to contain his considerable power. Presumably, if he had a proper container, he could stay in the host indefinitely. The fact that he wants to prepare Sasuke Uchiha for the transfer before performing it seems to reinforce this.
M
Man Beast Combination Transformation: Double-Headed Wolf
- Name: Jinjū Konbi Henge: Sōtōrō, 人獣混合変化・双頭狼, literally "Man Beast Combination Transformation: Double-Headed Wolf"
- Type: B-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru
Using this jutsu, the user and their dog transform themselves into a large double headed-wolf using a modified form of a Combination Transformation.
Manipulating Attack Blades
- Name: Sōshūha, 操襲刃, literally "Manipulating Attack Blades"
- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Yashamaru, Chiyo
This jutsu allows the user to control and manipulate blades, which can fly through the air and attack targets.
Manipulating Windmill Triple Blades
- Name: Sōfūshasan no Tachi, 操風車三ノ大刀, literally "Manipulating Windmill Triple Blades", English TV "Windmill Triple Attack"
- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Mid-range (5-10m)
- Users: Sasuke Uchiha
Utilizing the abilities of the Sharingan, the user is able to control three shuriken that have wire cords attached to them (two held with the hands and one with the mouth) and manipulate their paths to tie the opponent to a nearby large object, binding them. If there is no object, the shuriken will impale the opponent.
Mind Body Disturbance Technique
- Name: Shinranshin no Jutsu, 心乱身の術, literally "Mind Body Disturbance Technique"
- Type: B-rank, Supplementary, Close to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Inoichi Yamanaka, Ino Yamanaka
This jutsu is a more advanced form of the Mind Body Switch Technique. Instead of transferring the user's consciousness, this jutsu sends a spirit of confusion into a target, causing them to attack their allies. Although the target is mentally aware of what they are doing, they are unable to control their body. For this particular jutsu, the user is able to stay in their own body, unlike its predecessor. In the anime, it has been revealed that Ino also knows this jutsu.
Mind Body Switch Technique
- Name: Shintenshin no Jutsu, 心転身の術, literally "Mind Body Switch Technique", Viz "Art of the Valentine", English TV "Ninja Art: Mind Transfer Jutsu"
- Type: C-rank, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Ino Yamanaka
This jutsu allows the user to enter a target's mind, taking control of their body and senses. Though normally used as a spying jutsu, it can also be used in battle with several major drawbacks. The user's spirit travels slowly, making it somewhat easy to dodge, and if they miss their target, they are left helpless for a span of several minutes, which is the time it takes for the user's spirit to return to their own body. Even if the technique does work, the user's ability to stay in an enemy's body is determined by how fatigued they are. When the user is inside of the target's body, any damage that is inflicted upon the target will also be inflicted upon their original body. Therefore, if the target dies, so does the user. Also, the user can be forced out if facing a strong enough will (or two wills, in Sakura Haruno's case).
Art of the Valentine, which is used along with Shintenshin no Jutsu in the Viz English manga, is not a literal translation of Shintenshin no Jutsu, although Shintenshin is a Japanese card game that literally means "Change of Heart".
Multi-Size Technique
- Name: Baika no Jutsu, 倍化の術, literally "Multi-Size Technique", Viz "The Art of Expansion", English TV "Expansion Jutsu"
- Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary
- Users: Choza Akimichi, Choji Akimichi
This is a secret jutsu passed down in the Akimichi clan that expands the user's stomach. This jutsu increases the user's body size, using up the user's food energy by converting calories into chakra. Akimichi clan members tend to eat fattening foods and have large physiques in order to support this technique.
Multiple Shadow Clone Technique
- Name: Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, 多重影分身の術, literally "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique" or "Mass Shadow Replication Technique", English TV "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu"
- Type: A-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Naruto Uzumaki, Kakashi Hatake
This jutsu is basically a massive version of the Shadow Clone Technique. Instead of a few clones, it creates a few hundred clones (or a number of equal grandeur). This is considered a forbidden technique, because it can potentially be dangerous to the person performing it, seeing as all of the clones are given an equal amount of chakra directly from the user. Naruto learned the technique from the scroll of forbidden seals written by the First Hokage and used it to save Iruka from Mizuki. Few people are able to use this technique effectively, due to the large amount of chakra it consumes. This weakness does not apply to Naruto due to his Kyubi chakra, which allows him to create upwards of 2,000 clones while maintaining a decent supply of chakra in each one. This technique is also used by Naruto to train quickly, since all the clones share their experiences with Naruto.
Mystical Palm Technique
- Name: Shōsen Jutsu, 掌仙術, literally "Mystical Palm Technique"
- Type: A-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: All medical ninja
By concentrating chakra to the hand, the user is able to cure wounds by focusing their own chakra to where the critical injuries lie, healing them in the process. This jutsu, however, uses up a high amount of chakra. Very skilled medic-nin such as Tsunade and Kabuto can use this technique to perform surgeries that otherwise would not be possible. This may also be utilized in combat as a chakra scalpel, allowing the user to sever their opponent's muscle fibers or their chakra circulatory system at the point of contact.
N
Needle Guardian
- Name: Hari Jizō, 針地蔵, literally "Spiked Jizō" (a.k.a. "Spiked Buddha")
- Type: B-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Jiraiya
Jiraiya causes his long, spiky hair to wrap around him and harden in a manner similar to a hedgehog or porcupine's quills, defending against any physical attacks. This is effective as a method for forcing someone away, or stopping a powerful strike.
O
One Thousand Birds
- Name: Chidori, 千鳥 , literally "One Thousand Birds"
- Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Kakashi Hatake, Sasuke Uchiha
This jutsu is Hatake Kakashi's only original technique, though he now uses an S-ranked version known as the Raikiri. He created it around the time he was promoted to Jonin, and later taught it to Sasuke Uchiha. This jutsu channels a large concentration of chakra to the user's arm. The amount of chakra is so large that it becomes visible to the naked eye as a ball of electricity. In fact, the technique actually alters the nature of the user's chakra, effectively converting it into electricity. Once the technique is completed, the users charge forward and stab their enemy with it. As a side effect of the conversion process, the large amount of chakra, and the speed at which the user moves, this technique makes a loud noise similar to many birds chirping, hence the name. This technique is classified as an assassination technique, despite the loud noise it produces.
Because of the high concentration of chakra, and the speed at which the attack is done, the Chidori can break through almost any defense; however, the speed at which the attack must be done, combined with the fact that the user must run in a straight line, causes a tunnel vision-like effect for the user. This allows their enemy to easily counter the attack, making it a potentially lethal move for the user. Though this drawback would seem to make learning the technique fairly pointless, Sasuke and Kakashi are able to avoid the drawback because of their Sharingan eyes, which take in every detail regardless of how fast the user is moving. As an additional drawback, the large amount of chakra required limits its use to a few times a day (two for Sasuke, four for Kakashi). These numbers are undoubtedly higher in Part II. Sasuke can manage one more than normal with the use of his cursed seal. Should the user attempt to go beyond that limit, all of their chakra will be drained, and their very life force could go along with it, killing them.
One Thousand Birds Current
- Name: Chidori Nagashi, 千鳥流し, literally "One Thousand Birds Current"
- Type: S-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Sasuke Uchiha
A variation on a regular Chidori, this jutsu was developed by Sasuke during his two-and-a-half year training with Orochimaru. This jutsu allows Sasuke to produce a Chidori effect around his entire body, instead of just his hand. The energy can be channeled anywhere, allowing Sasuke to enhance his attacks with Chidori energy. Because it is channeled throughout his entire body and not concentrated, the energy will only cause temporary paralysis instead of killing an opponent. While this is not a problem in one-on-one battles, it does allow others to save their comrade if Sasuke is outnumbered. Sasuke can also channel the energy through his Kusanagi sword, increasing its overall strength and cutting power.
P
Parasite Demon Demolition Technique
- Name: Kisei Kikai no Jutsu, 寄生鬼壊の術, literally "Parasite Demon Demolition Technique"
- Type: Kekkei Genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Ukon, Sakon
Ukon is able to fuse with the opponent as he normally does with Sakon, the difference being that he will slowly destroy the host's cells and slowly kill them. The one weakness of this jutsu is that any injury the host receives is transferred to Ukon as well. Sakon seems to be able to use this technique, as he attempted to fuse with Kankuro before discovering that 'Kankuro' was actually a puppet.
Partial Multi-Size Technique
- Name: Bubun Baika no Jutsu, 部分倍化の術, literally "Partial Multi-Size Technique"
- Type: Hiden, No rank, Supplementary
- Users: Akimichi clan
This is a secret jutsu passed down in the Akimichi clan. Similar to the Multi-Size Technique, this jutsu allows a user to increase the size of a specific body part, such as an arm or leg.
Poison Extraction Technique
- Name: Dokunuki no Jutsu, 毒抜きの術, literally "Poison Extraction Technique"
- Type: S-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Sakura Haruno
This ornate jutsu uses chakra to literally pull foreign materials from someone's body, no doubt requiring precision control on the part of the user to avoid causing internal injury to their patient. Sakura uses this technique to remove Sasori's poison from Kankuro after their battle. None of the medic-nin on hand could perform the technique, so it is no doubt quite difficult to perform properly.
Poison Mist
- Name: Dokugiri, 毒霧, literally "Poison Mist"
- Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Shizune
The user breathes out a toxic gas from their body, which can also be used as a smokescreen.
Prepared Needle Shot
- Name: Shikomishindan, 仕込針弾, literally "Prepared Needle Shot"
- Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Shizune
The user of this technique launches five needles from a wrist-mounted device. This device is usually used to surprise the enemy, as it may be concealed under long sleeves. These needles are also dipped with a lethal poison to add to their fatality.
Prison Sand Burial
- Name: Gokusamaisō, 獄砂埋葬, literally "Prison Sand Burial"
- Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Gaara
The ground quickly loosens below the opponent and causes everything in the area to completely sink hundreds of meters deep within the earth. By being imprisoned at this depth, the pressure on the opponent will prevent him from even moving a finger.
Projectile Weapons
- Name: Tobidōgu, 飛道具, literally "Projectile Weapons"
- Type: No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Tenten, Naruto Uzumaki, Sasori, Sound Four
In order to store and use large items or various weapons that the user would never be capable of carrying normally, the user can keep them contained within summoning scrolls.
Projection Technique
- Name: Utsusemi no Jutsu, 空蝉の術, literally "Projection Technique"
- Type: Unknown, probably: Supplementary
- Users: Zabuza Momochi, Orochimaru, Jigumo
From a hidden location, the user can project their voice in a way similar to ventriloquism. Those in the area where the voice is being directed at will hear a resonating echo, as well as a more ominous undertone.
Projection Technique is only known as a jutsu in the Naruto anime. It was first used in the Naruto manga by Zabuza Momochi and Orochimaru with no name. In addition, this technique has never been given an entry name in the databooks, which more than likely means it is more of a skill than a jutsu.
Puppet Technique
- Name: Kugutsu no Jutsu, 傀儡の術, literally "Puppet Technique", Viz "Art of the Puppet Master", English TV "Puppet Master Jutsu"
- Type: Unknown or Hiden, Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary, Close to mid-range (0-10m)
- Users: Kankuro, Sasori, Chiyo, Monzaemon
Just like a marionette, the users of this jutsu can control a puppet using strings of chakra from their fingers. This skill is often prepared in coordination with the Body Replacement Technique so the user can quickly replace their body with the puppet when they feel the need to activate it. Another useful quality of this skill is the fact that the puppet can take the form of another person, or, more commonly, its user, allowing the user to make it seem as if they're fighting the enemy when in fact the puppet is doing so.
Apart from being used to control marionettes, the chakra strings can be attached to other objects, allowing the user to control, or at the very least disrupt, certain objects. In one instance, Kankuro uses chakra strings to trip Naruto Uzumaki when they first meet. In another, Chiyo uses chakra strings to control Sakura Haruno like a puppet.
Q
Quicksand in the Style of a Waterfall
- Name: Ryūsa Bakuryū, 流砂瀑流, literally "Quicksand in the Style of a Waterfall"
- Type: S-Rank, Offensive, All ranges
- Users: Gaara
This technique moves sand in the likeness of an ocean wave towards the enemy, covering and "drowning" them in an ocean of sand. This appears to be the only one of Gaara's moves that requires hand seals, and in practice is virtually unavoidable.
R
Rain of Spiders
- Name: Amagumo, 雨蜘蛛, literally "Rain of Spiders"
- Type: B-rank, Offensive, All ranges
- Users: Kidomaru
After Kidomaru summons his giant spider, it will release an egg sac full of baby spiders. These large spiders will then rain down on his opponent. The spiders will spin a strand of webbing as they fall, circling the opponent in webbing and sticking them to the ground.
Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets
- Name: Aka Higi: Hyakki no Sōen, 赤秘技・百機の操演, literally "Red Secret Technique: Performance of a Hundred Puppets"
- Type: Unknown, probably S-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary
- Users: Sasori
To start the technique, Sasori removes two summoning scrolls from his back. He then opens his right chest compartment to emit one hundred chakra strings, which reach into the scrolls. From the scrolls, one hundred human puppets emerge, each one a defeated and converted opponent of Sasori. Sasori claims that he brought down an entire country with this jutsu.
Rope Escape Technique
- Name: Nawanuke no Jutsu, 縄抜けの術, literally "Rope Escape Technique", English TV "Escape Jutsu"
- Type: E-rank, Supplementary
- Users: All Ninja Academy graduates
A basic technique taught at the Ninja academy, this jutsu allows a ninja to free themselves if they have been tied up.
