The Shinobi World

Ninjutsu is a core shinobi art that uses chakra to create supernatural effects in the physical world. By molding chakra through hand signs, a shinobi can unleash elemental attacks, summon creatures, clone themselves, or manipulate their surroundings. It draws directly from the user's chakra pool and is influenced by their elemental affinity, making certain techniques easier or more powerful to perform. Unlike genjutsu or taijutsu, ninjutsu is a direct, often visible use of chakra, ranging from simple academy techniques to advanced, forbidden jutsu. Mastery requires both ample chakra and precise control.
