Genjutsu: No detailing on how the user gets tired. The description is literally as follows: "It's a type of hypnosis technique that drags the target's mind to an illusory world and may cause confusion or mental and physical exhaustion. The major difference from other jutsu is that it does not affect the target's body directly. There are various kinds of Genjutsu that may be used to attack or to give advantages to the user." Best I can guess is, you lose chakra as long as it's active. (Also, there are damaging Genjutsu, just not as many as those who simply leave you confused.)

Kekkei Genkai: Since the manual is only up to volume 14, it says very little on them, so yeah, it's just that they're genetic stuff, as opposed to the Hiden (Clan skills), which don't really need a particular bloodline or anything, but the method is only really known to the users so they don't teach.

Fuuinjutsu: That's the thing. While it's possible to use it to seal something external (after all, Naruto's seal is confirmed to be a Fuuin), there's nothing about scrolls. As far as I've seen, you can only apply these seals on living beings - not the being sealed, but the being that is the seal. So I think you'd need to use a Juin for that, to be honest. (Oh, and confirmed: the seals themselves may change, but both Orochimaru's seals and the Hyuuga's are called Juin as opposed to Fuuin.)

Haku's ice mirrors are called a Kekkei Genkai, as opposed to just his ability to use Hyouton; that is, it's not a natural jutsu.

If the kunai is "the target," then perhaps it's restricting the kunai from using it's skill of existing in 3 dimensions?

Yeah, I'm reaching here, aren't I?

So genjutsu is synonymous with hypnosis rather than it only referring to what the Sharingan can do. I guess that means that most of the hypnotic abilities we've seen from the Sharingan are things that anyone is technically capable of.

The thing with the fuuinjutsu is strange. By the time the first databook had come out, we'd seen Kakashi use a scroll for his special summoning jutsu, explosive tags, we'd heard off sealing a genjutsu in a scroll from Kabuto (or Iruka?) and we'd seen Iruka being summoned through the Heaven and Earth scrolls. Tenten's entire fight was off-screen so I don't think we actually saw a storage scroll by then.

I'm still thinking there's a difference in fuuinjutsu where you get written fuuinjutsu and sealing ninjutsu.

Actually, on the subject of the Sharingan, when's the last time we saw anybody copy a jutsu?

I'm surprised Sasuke hadn't Sharin-ganked A's Lightning Armour.
Backtracking the discussion a little, a very simple reason for this is because Sasuke's body wouldn't be able to handle it. Whilst I think the only clear example we're shown in Naruto is the Eight Gates, it's fairly typical for abilities that enhance your body to cause a physical strain. In this case, manipulating your nervous system so you can move and react far faster than usual.

A's got a tough body and has spent years using his Lightning Armour so it wouldn't really be a problem for him. But Sasuke doesn't have that so using the Lightning Armour for a time could leave a heavy physical strain, something he's probably aware of.

As far as I'm aware, the only jutsu Sasuke ever copied was Lee's Shadow of the Dancing Leaf. Even there, it was a tai not nin jutsu which was copied. Sasuke also heavy customised the end result and had to train to use it. Interestingly, Naruto's 'Naruto Uzumaki Combo' also seems to be based on this.

The only time we ever saw the 'parrot jutsu back at people' thing but was the Kakashi-Zabuza fight. Even there, Zabuza says Kakashi used hypnosis to make him use the 'right' jutsu.

Mass copying of jutsu only really happens in Kakashi's backstory as far as I can see.

Huh. Considering how the fanon perception of Uchiha has them "stealing from allies," and "relying on borrowed power," you'd think there'd be more of it in the manga.

I suppose Kakashi's known for his copying because he put the effort in to developing, if not mastering, his elemental affinities. We've seen him use fairly powerful fire, water, earth and lightning jutsu, haven't we?

Kakashi copied one of Kisame's shark missiles way back when him and Itachi invaded Konoha right after the Sand-Sound invasion. Pretty sure that's the last time anyone used the sharingan to copy a jutsu though.

I've never liked that fanon perception of the Uchiha. Just going by the manga it seems to me that the Uchiha didn't bother copying jutsu unless they were willing to put in the effort to train their bodies to use that jutsu efficiently and integrate it well into the rest of their jutsu repertoire. Most Uchiha likely only copied jutsu that they felt would mesh well with their established fighting style, they didn't go around copying every jutsu they saw willy-nilly. That would be a waste of time and chakra.
 
#83
or, more likely, they did actually copy everything, but never bothered to learn how to replicate most jutsu for the reasons you stated

Confirming: the UNR is Naruto literally stealing Sasuke's Shishi Rendan, with a variant of the Omote Renge's startup.

Also, summoning in both cases is, in fact, a Ninjutsu. As follows:

Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Attack/Defense/Support/C/Chunin-Level)
"A blood contract allows the summoning of uncommon animals!

This is a ninja technique that summons, at any point and anywhere, a creature with which a blood pact has been previously done. The creature obeys its summoner and may help in many situations, both for fighting as for escaping. To execute the summoning, the ninja puts some of his own blood on the palm of the hand used to sign the contract and uses chakra to form the seal. Then, he directs the hand to where he wants the summoned creature to appear. There's a bond of submissiveness and trust between ninja and summon creature."

Kuchiyose: Doton: Tsuiga no Jutsu (Attack/Short/Medium/Long Range/B/Jounin-level)
"Uses the scent to catch a hidden target!

It's a high-level technique that combines tracking and attack. It consists of summoning ninja dogs that track from underground and attack the target simultaneously. Not even Zabuza, hidden in the thick mist, managed to escape the noses of Kakashi's summoned ninja dogs...!"

I guess that can be used for its own explanation, then. Summoning scrolls are a ninjutsu skill.

Will of Fire: The ideals that Konoha shinobi adhere to. Treat one's great predecessors as gods and fight with pride in their memory. And tell their beliefs to future generations. (So the Will of Fire is ancestor worship? Not quite the idea I'd gotten from the manga with all the talk about love, peace and sacrificing and fighting for the sake of the village.)
Actually explains quite a bit of the "Clan" talk, and... Does this mean that Sasuke is actually... A rather devout believer of the Will of Fire?:wacko:

......Meh, who knew.:mellow:

Predecessors as in the shinobi of Konoha that came before them. Clans are included but if you're only thinking about your clan ancestors then you're doing it wrong.

Thing is, most of the ones in the leaf who talk about "clan" strike me as the type who would be.... But that wouldn't change the fact that they'd think they were doing it right.

Personally, it would also help explain what the rest of the leaf seems to of been so willing to go along with Naruto on over looking Sasuke's actions for so long.

With a religion based on worshiping your roots, "vengeance", while maybe not a perfect reason, would likely be a better one to them, then it would be to us.

Here's a bunch of miscellaneous information from the second databook:

Medical Ninjutsu

The medical way that needs a talent different from ninjutsu. It’s a different type of skill from combat. The greatest control of the smallest amount of chakra, great professional knowledge, and the brains and dedication to use them.”

The biggest problem with medical jutsus are their particularities. Meticulous chakra control is needed and thus a natural aptitude is needed for users. These are why it takes a long time to develop and there aren’t many medical ninjas.

Difficulty: Medical Jutsus and their possibilities and limits.

The greater the wound, the greater the ability needed. Also, its effects are not unlimited and reviving the dead is impossible.

Wounds and their healing difficulties
Scratches and stab wounds: difficulty 1
Broken bones, muscle and severed tendons: difficulty 2
Great damage to the body: difficulty 3
Death: impossibility

Regrowing a damaged organ is also an impossibility.

Even if Tsunade uses medical jutsus it is impossible to grow a whole organ (e.g. Dan’s destroyed kidneys).

Incision healing using charka scalpel can also be used for attacks!

Types: Various medical jutsus

Healing of external wounds using charka
Procedure of putting chakra on the body and healing wounds

Healing using owner seals
Using owner seals to control chakra levels and flow.

The Ultimate medical jutsu
Tsunade’s Creation Rebirth: An ability that is not about healing but about regeneration. It can remake all organs and parts.”

The Legend of the Three Sannins

What is the truth behind the three sannin? With three key words, we will discover how the three became legends.

Even ghosts would cower before Konoha’s three sannins!

Past
(Pic of three and Sarutobi with bell test)
At that place, the usual presence of the teacher and student relationship…

Under the professor, their talents were nutured!

The three who spent their childhood with the one who would become the third hokage. With the benefit of great leadership, each was able to set flame to their great talents. Perfecting their strength and jutsus, and at times clashing with each other, the three find the source of their power from these days of childhood.

Strength

Explosive spirit and unique power!

Jiraya’s manly fighting valor, Orochimaru’s individual talents, Tsunade’s monster power and supreme knowledge of medical jutsus. During fights, their skills would increase thrice fold and create stories of great battlefield deeds. Especially, places of battle where the three fought together were their own stage. Stories of their battlefield deeds have evolved into legends. As there will no longer be days when the three will fight alongside each other, the flower of their legend is the more dazzling.

(Pic of scary Jiraya’s face)
“Then I will kill you.”
Serious but deadly eyes! Are the only ones who can fight against the three sannins the sannins themselves?

(Pic of Tsu bashing wall)
Her power is like that of a god of war.

(Pic of Oro and tongue)
Like a reflection of his way of life, his fighting skills are cruel to the extreme.

Weakness
The weakness of the three sannins?

The three sannins are also human. If they do have weaknesses, is it not because of their human attributes and personalities? In it, there is a certain lure of humanistic charm.

Jiraya - Women and sexiness
If someone uses the one that he loves as a shield, even the most strongest of ninjas will become defenseless. And there are many women that Jiraya loves.

Tsunade - Gambling
In the world of gambling she is known as Legender Sucker. When she uses her luck, which is rather low, is she then at her most vulnerable?

Orochimaru - ???
In completely encompassed mind of ice, there is no possibility of it becoming marred by another human. Only, his own endless ambitions keeps him anxious.

Akatsuki

They discarded their hometowns, intending to accompany each other due to their similarities, the secret maneuvers of the nine shinobi...do they have a supreme purpose assigned to them...?

The dawn is dyed red by this strange organisation

CAPTION: The weird shadows which surface in the darkness. Is this their natural shape, and just what is their purpose?

Uchiha Itachi
The man who made "The Uchiha Clan" cease to exist. He owns the legendary "Mangekyou Sharingan".

Hoshigaki Kisame
He was called "the mysterious person of the hidden mist" and bore a role in the "Seven Shinobi Swordsmen".

Personnel
The S Class criminals, whose names resound in every country----

"Akatsuki", made up of nine shinobi. Itachi destroyed his entire clan in one night, Hoshigaki Kisame committed Daimyo assassination. The majority of members are stated in the Bingo Book of each country. While acting in groups of two, it seems they do espionage activities in each country.

CAPTION: He watched over Naruto and Sasuke's battle, the true colours of Akatsuki are......?

Proof
A black robe with red clouds---

The clothes of the members of "Akatsuki" seem to be their common feature. As well as being S-class criminals, they belong to this organisation and wrap themselves in the same costumes, can you call this proof of their unity...?

Head Protectors

CAPTION: Itachi's head protector, when he left in exile he cut a mark upon it.

KISAME: "Daimyo murder and attempted destruction of a country, with some suspicion from the Water Country, from each country
shinobis came searching for a named suspect"

CAPTION: Kisame's head protector has a similar mark to Itachi's.

Rings

CAPTION: The rings, which have engraved characters, are placed on that finger... Itachi has 'red', Orochimaru who has left
the organisation has the single character 'sky'.

CAPTION: On Kisame's finger, the 'south' ring. What is their inherent meaning?

Costume

Red clouds on black, the pattern of Akatsuki's costume. These gain public atention whether they mind or not, they are very
lively.

Power

They make sport of the Konoha elite---

The capability of Akatsuki is unknown, but the power of the two who visited Konoha are worthy of special mention. Itachi makes sport of Sasuke again, as well as three Jounin. A glimpse of his enormous power.

CAPTION: Sasuke is dealt with like you'd twist the hand of a baby.

Objective

The thing the organisation seek---

"So...our objectives include the 'nine, tailed demons' for example... we are to get them all in our hands!!"

CAPTION: The pupils which float in the darkness---. He mutters "everything including the nine tailed demons"

It seems Akatsuki desire mighty power, beginning with the nine tailed demons. Their intended purpose is not certain, but they say three years, they have already begun moving---.

The Uchiha Clan

The village was protected because of their fire, ”The Uchiha in Konoha” became admired for their genius "Uchiha Clan". Their rise and fall is written here.

Prosperity

They took charge of the public order of the village as Konoha's guardian deity---

From the dawning of Konoha they took charge of the village's public order, always protecting their proud clan. That was the 'Uchiha Clan'. This section of 'The five great shinobi countries' was born, the Fire Country. Owing to it's role as a military power, it possesses many elite shinobi corps as the strongest hidden village - the hidden village of Konoha. Furthermore, their ability which possessed the foremost power in Konoha, saying that they brought present Konoha's prosperity would not be an overstatement.

CAPTION: The clan maintained the peace of the village of Konoha.

House Crest

The attention of 'the people who hold the Uchiha fire manipulation'.

For generations the 'Uchiha Clan' lived in a residential area of the village, the house crest of 'Uchiha' could be seen everywhere. This means 'the people who hold the Uchiha fire manipulation' for generations have, by means of fire, have shown their pride in protecting the village. Therefore, when a shinobi of this clan reached a point where they could handle fire element ninjutsu for the first time, their full adulthood was made to be recognised.

CAPTION: Everywhere in daily life, the crest can be viewed...

CAPTION: The foundation ninjutsu of the clan's 'fire manipulation' is Grand Fireball Technique

Military Police

Enrole in the elite first squad---

The Uchiha clan's previous generation founded this organisation 'Konoha Military Police Force'. Shinobi within this crime managing organisation are proud of the strongest belonging to 'First Squad', almost everyone of the clan's elite
was in it. Those with the ability to excel were devoted to maintaining the public order of the village.

CAPTION: The Uchiha ancestors established the headquarters of the 'Military Police Force'.

CAPTION: The young boys of the clan yearned to exist in the first squad to which the Uchiha elite belong.

Sharingan

The pupil technique only this clan can be enlightened with!

Even within the clan, it is only revealed in the blood of some with the 'bloodline limit'. The insight and the powerful hypnosis of the eye detects the principles of all nin, tai and genjutsu. It is said that within only a few high ranking people in history, a 'Mangekyou Sharingan' exists.

CAPTION: Each one of the Military Police's First Squad was a Sharingan holder.

End

Remembrance of a sorrowful downfall---

CAPTION: The secret of the 'Sharingan' sleeps underground beneath the south support of the shrine.

Visiting their sudden end. The ability extending from the time of their infancy was shot by the hand of Uchiha Itachi alone. Konoha's walk together with prosperity proudly honours the clan, 'that day' has led to them being named 'the clan of tragedy'...

CAPTION: The memory of their end remains within the young boy for eternity.

Orochimaru's Gang

There is an abyss of dark gloom, furthermore of a blackened artifice, Orochimaru. Embrace the unending ambition 'wicked excellence' that this organisation presses towards.

Sound Nin
Offering Orochimaru their playing of a melody of death.

Orochimaru is designated as the founder, with his ability in ninjutsu he summons people who have grown up in every place to be in his elite shinobi corps. Every one of the sound ninja worships Orochimaru's release of 'evil charisma', for his ambitious achievement they offer their lives by throwing themselves into battle...

Sound Nin Group

CAPTION: The sound nin, with their disguise called a muffler, they arrange their unique costume.

Yakushi Kabuto
CAPTION: As Orochimaru's right-hand man, it reflects on him as a medical ninja.

Curse Seal
In exchange for power, their freedom is taken---

To people with extraordinary ability, Orochimaru gives his seal of affection. If released, instead of raising their ability rapidly it attacks the body gradually and finally makes them lose themselves.

Kimimaro
He uses bone to make weapons, he is the "Kaguya Clan's" strongest and last survivor.

The Sound Four
Orochimaru's guards. Protective barrier ninjutsu, as a barrier it is an elite seal jutsu.

CAPTION: They have mighty power even amongst curse seals, the 'Earth' and 'Heaven' seals.

Village
The new hidden village which is full of darkness and blood---

The new hidden village which was made by the exiled Konoha shinobi, Orochimaru. The battle potential in those who are Sound Nin, they are made to concentrate to be elite and a match for a thousand. The whole aspect of the village itself is still a puzzle, but the existence of Orochimaru's building of residence and the medical facility where Kabuto remedied Kimimaro can be verified...

CAPTION: The house where Orochimaru lives is thought to be somewhere in the hidden village of Sound. There is a crest of a snake in the entrance.

CAPTION: Orochimaru captures nin of various clans confining them to the prison existing inside the village, it seems that he utilises them as experimental material for the development of new techniques.

Ambition
His future 'vessel' finally supplied in his hand

To overthrow Konoha, to develop forbidden techniques, to hold all jutsu... numerous ambitions have been exposed, but his final purpose is not revealed. When the body of Sasuke is obtained, will the whole aspect of his ambition be revealed?

CAPTION: The 'dream vessel' of Sasuke arrives, Orochimaru shakes as he is hit with delight. His true purpose, he stares at his future...?

Cold-hearted, cold blooded, level headed--- the story of the cruel serpent

The cold-heartedness of Orochimaru, it is directed at his own subordinates as well as his enemies. Everything other than oneself Orochimaru considers "under his control", his dreadful thoughts are visible...

CAPTION: If he does not function as a 'vessel', slay that Kimimaro who is fascinated with himself.

CAPTION: The subordinate who recommends medicine can instantly kill.

Ninja Tools

Every shinobi’s closest partner is their ningu. All the details of the secret ningu are revealed here!!

Ningu: types and uses

Attacks to protect shinobi // Battle gear for defense

Various tools for every situation

Unique shinobi medicine which can heal or harm

Various ningu were developed to meet needs encountered during missions. They eventually became organised, and nowadays can be roughly split up into three categories – ‘Combat gear’, ‘Tools’ and ‘Secret medicines’.

Combat gear
In other words, weapons and protective gear. Fights between shinobi are life threatening. In order to increase the chance of winning and surviving by even a small amount, carrying high quality ningu is as essential as ninjutsu training.

Tools
Even outside battle, in shinobi work there are frequently situations which require tools. Many tools have been created in order to carry out missions more effectively and reliably.

Secret medicines
Secret medicines have been actively developed along with ninjutsu. As these can be used by anyone and have a diverse range of effects, they are a convenient and widely used ningu.

Shinobi choose ningu suited to their own qualities.

Even puppets the size of people are classified as a type of ningu.

Shikamaru, using many shuriken simultaneously. Maybe he is skilled at the use of weapons.

There is a very diverse range of tools used for setting traps, such as thread, kunai (small daggers) and explosive tags.

To a shinobi carrying out a harsh mission, a medical kit is their lifeline.

Seishingan: Secret medicine to temporarily put one’s body into a state of suspended animation. It is rare, with limited uses.

Kabuto, as a medic ninja, likes to use secret medicines. With perfect timing, he utilises high powered medicines.

Gai and Lee’s favourite bodysuits. Many shinboi might feel opposed to using one…!?

The Cursed Seal of Heaven - The Cursed Seal of Earth

Among the Cursed Seals, the seals of Heaven and Earth hold exceptional "power". Although their actual effect and potency are not directly evident, the truth of why they were carved into Kimimaro and Sasuke is to draw out their excess "power".

→On the back of Sasuke's neck and on Kimimaro's chest, the Cursed Seal rises to the surface. They are also a symbol revealing the depth of the darkness in their hearts...

Seven Swordsmen of the Mist

Their name even resounds in other countries, the "Seven Swordsmen Shinobi of the Mist"

Long ago, the horrible "kill another student" graduation exam was carried out, and from this the Hidden Mist Village was given the nickname "Blood Mist Village"...

In that village, the seven shinobi who excelled in battle ability and produced the highest battle results were named the "Seven Swordsmen Shinobi" because they wielded swords, but because of aspirations to have great power, Kisame was the first of many to become missing-nins. Their current whereabouts are unknown.

Top picture: The Seven's fame is known well in other countries, for the large swords they carry.

Bottom picture: Zabuza, the missing-nin who fought with Kakashi long ago, is also originally of the Seven.

Mangekyou Sharingan

Not a lot of people got their hands onto Mangekyou Sharingan in the past, moreover it is said its awakening can only be achieved under certain circumstances. The peculiar condition for its unlocking... is to murder one's closest friend!! It was a taboo ability only those who chose the path of bloodshed could acquire.

Caption

-A causality drenched in blood

Picture comment

-Sacrificing his friend, Itachi obtained a forbidden power. What about Sasuke, exactly...?!

Nara Hijutsu

The basic application of House Nara's hijutsu (arcane art) is capture and restraint of the enemy, but it will prove efficient in many ways depending on how it is employed. The size of the area covered by the shadows cannot be changed. In regards with that limitation, this is by far the best jutsu in the set as far as successful use of said shadows' particularities is concerned.

Transformation
The shadow can be transformed. Utilizing that particularity, the caster can turn their shadow into a string-like shape, thus expanding its hitting range. It can also be ramified to attack multiple enemies.

Enlargement
If the sources of light themselves can be controlled, it's also possible to alter the surface covered by the shadow. A good grasp of the sun's location or even an artificial source of light will prove instrumental.

Captions

-A battle between "potentiality" and "limitations".

-A large variety of shadow arts!

Picture comments

-With Kage Kubi Shibari, the shadows can be stretched thin enough to attack even [bodily] sections such as a finger.

-Employ of a "hikaridama" (light ball), a ninja tool, enables dramatic alterations of the shadows, albeit temporarily.

Elemental Ninjutsu

There are multiple categories of ninjutsu, such as Suiton and Doton, but essentially, whether those techniques may or may not be activated is influenced by the terrain, and using Suiton someplace where there is no water is nearly impossible. Only shinobi with Hokage-class levels of mastery may free themselves from this law of Nature.

Caption

-A Hokage's ninjutsu stand on a whole other level

Picture comment

-This hijutsu is a legend among legends. There's no one in Konoha who doesn't know about it.

Downfall of Konoha

The contract with the Sound shinobi is also coming along smoothly…

Before the final Chuunin Exam, Orochimaru switched places with the Kazekage.

Orochimaru plotted the “Downfall of Konoha” to achieve his own evil ambitions. The Kazekage, keen to empower the Hidden Sand Village, joined with Orochimaru’s ambitions and decided to attack Konoha. However, the true identity of the Kazekage who handed down that decision was Orochimaru… The Sand shinobi, unaware of this, threw themselves wholeheartedly into the fight, thinking it to be for the sake of their village…

Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, attacks the Hokage. “Downfall of Konoha” begins.

The horrible corpse of the Kazekage. Orochimaru’s evil plans are exposed, and the meaningless fight brought to an end.

Shukaku

Exhausted by the Shukaku, it's very easy for the spiritual medium to fall into insomnia, for fear of having their personality consumed during their sleep. As the sleeplessness persists, their spirit will grow weak and their personality unstable. Such is the reason for Gaara's eye markings and psychotic behavior.

Caption

-A spiritual medium plagued by insomnia.

Picture comment

-A spirit medium from the moment he was born, Gaara has been burdened by insomnia since childhood, which caused him to grow increasingly unbalanced.

Suna’s Jinchuuriki

The Wind Country began military reduction upon forming an alliance with the Fire Country. The Kazekage, feeling peril, made the decision to turn his son into the village’s secret weapon by affixing the “Sand shukaku” spirit to the baby in his wife Karura’s womb…

The dreadful and sorrowful experiment which birthed the monster Gaara!!

Gaara, born in exchange for his mother’s life, grew up as an experimental subject. However, Gaara was unable to control the Shukaku’s power, and as a result the Kazekage felt that he was a danger to the village and resolved to have his own son assassinated. This is the tragedy caused by a single minded wish to protect the village.

The shock of having his life threatened by his own father was too cruel for the young Gaara. The ill-fated Gaara, confronting assassins time and again since childhood…

Tsunade’s Necklace

Tsunade’s necklace was originally owned by the first Hokage, Shodaime. Made from a unique mineral, it was a ‘treasure’ to Tsunade and the shinobi who aim to be Hokage. Until it was bathed in the blood of two shinobi…

Nawaki and Dan, the two to whom Tsunade entrusted the necklace. Now, it is a memento of themÂ….

Ninja Dogs

There are many shinobi who summon creatures, especially ninken. Out of those, the eight ninken which Kakashi summons are highly skilled. Their sense of smell is many thousands of times stronger than that of humans, and they are especially relied on for tracking missions.

By summoning eight ninken at once, it is possible to search in more directions than one can cover alone. In addition, not only do they track above ground, they also use Doton Jutsu (ground release) to search underground. They are also skilled at capturing the discovered enemy with their sharp teeth.

The eight ninken summoned by Kakashi!!

↑The highly individual eight ninken! Each has a different ability.

←Kakashi’s orders are absolute. They faithfully accomplish their mission, and Kakashi has complete confidence in them.

Ino-Shika-Chou

As Chouza scatters the enemies with his overwhelming power, Shikaku provides support with the ‘Kageshibari no Jutsu’ (Shadow Bind Technique). Inoichi brings them together and releases his ‘Shinranshin no Jutsu’!!

The three all make good use of their strong points, and compensate for each others weak points. They are a model of the perfect three man cell. Even now, when they come together they display the same supreme teamwork as they did in their prime.

The trio renowned over the world Ino-Shika-Chou!! (This is a play on their names, Ino(ichi) Shika(ku) and Chou(za), which mean boar, deer and butterfly and is also a winning combination in the card game ‘hanafuda’.)

↑The trio reunited for the first time in a long time during the Downfall of Konoha to protect the village with their unflagging teamwork tactics.

I like how the medical ninjutsu section repeatedly stresses that regenerating amputated limbs and completely destroyed organs is impossible, and even states flat out that not even Tsunade can do it, and then the very last sentence contradicts all that by saying "oh yeah this one special jutsu of Tsunade's can totally do that actually."

And what's so special about Creation Rebirth that only Tsunade can use it anyway? I understand that only Tsunade can use it in battle because the chakra cost is enormous and she developed a chakra storing seal to solve that issue, but why can't squads of medical ninja work together to provide the necessary chakra for a normal operation? If a couple of guys teaming up can work for The Flying Thunder God jutsu then I don't see why it can't work for Creation Rebirth.

There are multiple categories of ninjutsu, such as Suiton and Doton, but essentially, whether those techniques may or may not be activated is influenced by the terrain, and using Suiton someplace where there is no water is nearly impossible. Only shinobi with Hokage-class levels of mastery may free themselves from this law of Nature.
This particular fact has been retconned so hard it's hilarious. After the timeskip even children can spit out water for their suiton jutsu. :snigger:

She's a Senju. Body of the sage and all that. Maybe if Shizune or Sakura tried the creation rebirth technique, the strain would kill them.

Yahiko was in Rain Country. Plenty of water around there.

Yeah, but he didn't use it. That jutsu is meant to be sprayed from the mouth.

So? Maybe firing water jutsu from the mouth when you're in the desert is impossible for some reason, unless you're Tobimara.

Maybe part of the hand-seals for water jutsu involve absorbing trace amounts of water in the atmosphere through the pores or something, and using said water as a template to mould your chakra into.

Edit:Jutsu used by Gamabunta against Gaara.
Databook 2 - Suiton: Teppoudama:
NINJUTSU; Suiton: Teppoudama (Water Release: Gunshot)
User: Gamabunta
Offensive; Close, Medium, Long ranges; Rank: C

Main text

One kneads up chakra, converts it into Water, and then spits it out in the form of condensated balls...! Indeed, the high-speed waterball attack possesses just as much power to kill and main as an actual gunshot!! While this is a Suiton jutsu, it can still be employed someplace where no water is available, which is a great advantage. It's also possible to increase the power of destruction of the balls themselves by building up the chakra inside of them.

So even in part one, during the same freaking story arc, there were C-rank water jutsu that didn't need a source of water nearby to use. Why exactly was Tobirama's ability to do that so impressive again? :huh:

Edit: Also interesting is the reference to a "gunshot". So do guns exist in the narutoverse or not?

Eh, maybe. Frankly I never really understood why any water jutsu needed a source of water to use when even earth jutsu don't necessarily require nearby rocks and dirt to use, as Hiruzen demonstrated that same chapter, and fire and lightning jutsu have never needed a nearby source of their element for any rank jutsu. And then we have people like Jiraiya and Shizune spitting out oil and poison gas. It's been fairly obvious for a long time that ninja are capable of converting their chakra into faux-matter and energy.
