Types of Chakra  Normal Chakra Normal Chakra is the type of Chakra start out with, it has a light blue colour to it. This Chakra is sort of a LVL.1 Chakra. It can be used for most skills, but you need a lot of it if you want to perform higher level ninjutsu.  Healing Chakra Healing Chakra is the kind of Chakra medical specialist like Tsunade and Shizune use for healing-purposes. It's a light green Chakra that can heal physical damage on one's body. All we know is that it heals wounds at an accelerated rate, we do not know if every shinobi has, and can mold this type of chakra. It seems that the user focuses this type of Chakra to their hands, and then touches the injured spot to begin the healing process. It's unkown if this Chakra is actully used for Skills.  Kyubi's Chakra Kyubi's Chakra is a special type of Chakra that can only be used by Naruto, and offcourse the Kyubi itself. Naruto can use this Chakra because of the demon fox that was sealed inside his stomach. He calls upon it in times of great emotional excitement, and later on Jiraiya even tries to learn Naruto on how to control it. The Chakra has a redish Colour. And it's a far more powerfull type of Basic Chakra, it is used to perform high level Skills which requires a tremendous amount of Chakra. When Naruto let's a part of the Nine-Tail's power leak out, the seal that sealed the Kyubi appears on his stomach.  Cursed Seal Chakra This Chakra can only be used when being marked by Orochimaru's Cursed Seal. (Being bitten by Orochimaru, and having survived the 10% survival-chance.) It's a dangerous type of Chakra. And if it's used too much, it will drain the hummanity from a person, and the user becomes a slave to Orochimaru. This Chakra is dark Purple one, and becomes active when the user is out of his regular Chakra. Visible black shapes will appear on the body and the user will be given a tremendous amount of Evil Chakra power.  Chakra Gates Chakra By opening Chakra gates (releases the body's limits on muscle usage/Chakra flow) your body and muscles will be put on a lot of strain. Altough your attack will be a nearly suicidal attack, you will be able to perform continuous speed and high powered attacks, making this highly devastating to any opponent. This is the Chakra Lee uses to perform his lotus-attacks. Apparantly this is a deadly type of Chakra that is best used by people Advanced (strong) enough in Taijutsu, hopefully being able to bear the heavy strain placed on your whole body. Someone can open up to 8 Chakra gates, some of the user's Chakra will turn green and surround him. By opening more Chakra gates, your granted power will increase. But in most cases the result is immobility of the user, due to torn muscle fibers.

Chakra Training Chakra is the energy needed by a ninja to perform jutsus. This will explain about each trainning used in Naruto to help you use Chakra to its full extend.  Tree Climbing This training includes gathering Chakra into the feet and climbing up a tree. It teaches to control Chakra by bringing out the correct amount of Chakra in the proper area. The amount of Chakra needed to climb a tree is minimal, but it has to be perfect. Kakashi said that the bottom of the foot is the hardest area to gather Chakra. By learning to control Chakra, an individual can master any jutsu if they try.  Water Walking A more advanced training than tree walking. Like tree walking, a user must gather Chakra into the feet and constantly feed the appropriate amount into the water. The release of Chakra must match the weight of the body and the amount necessary to float. It is more difficult to control Chakra since water is not solid and constantly moving. This training is used to teach an individual how to create a specific amount of Chakra into any part of the user's body.  Leaf Concentration This training requires a person to concentrate all his/her Chakra onto a leaf which is placed on the forehead. It's an effective way of training concentration. By calming the mind and defining a target, one is able to draw upon their maximum power. Rumor has it that the Leaf sign on the Hidden Leaf forehead protector originates from this training.  Chakra Molding Molding Chakra can increase the flow of Chakra throughout your body. It helps you do the other 3 trainings well and enables you to access more Chakra when doing jutsu. Molding Chakra can help you gain Chakra to certain part of the body more quickly.

Hand Seal Guide Hand seals are as important as Chakra. Most GenJutsu and NinJutsu need hand seals to be performed, but TaiJutsu doesn't because it simply needs no Chakra. The main function of a Hand Seal is similar to that of magic words. Instead of speaking of words to activate a spell, Hand Seals are used to activate the technique, and release all the gathered Chakra. Hand Seals stand out for animals, specifically the animals found in the Oriental Zodiac signs. That's why there are 12 seals, one for each of the 12 years found in Oriental zodiacs. This is because if the hand seals in a NinJutsu are not performed correctly, the Chakra will be released wrong and a different effect will occur, probably failing the Jutsu. As a result, Hand Seals need a lot of concentration, which is why techniques in Naruto cannot be interrupted, or the technique will definately fail. In the lines below, we have gathered images of all of the most frequent hand seals. The hand seals in the Naruto series are based off of the Oriental Zodiac system. As you may have heard when someone talks about what year they are born in, they may say year of the Dragon, which means they would have been born in 1928, 1940, 1952, 1964, 1976 or 1988. Below we have organized the hand seals in order of when they appear in the Chinese zodiac, from one to twelve.  Nezumi (Rat)  O-ushi(Ox)  Tora (Tiger)  Usagi (Hare)  Ryu (Dragon)  Hebi (Serpent)  Uma (Horse)  O-hitsuji (Ram)  Saru (Monkey)  Tori (Bird)  Inu (Dog)  Ousu-buta (Boar)

Chakra Control Chakra is the source of energy used by every Shinobi in the great series of Naruto. In fact, there are two energy sources used by them; Stamina, which could also be called physical energy, and Chakra, which could be called mental energy. As a result, each ninja style uses a different energy source; Taijutsu uses pure stamina, while Ninjutsu and Genjutsu use Chakra. However, chakra has many more uses; it can be concentrated on the user's feet for a boost of speed, or a higher jumping capability. There are also several other things that somebody must acknowledge to fully understand how techniques are executed. First of all, stamina converts to Chakra for many techniques, but not vice versa. This means that once stamina is converted, it cannot be converted back. Also, a hand seal is needed to perform the conversion. One of the toughest parts of using Chakra is controlling it and using it wisely. In this guide, we explain how Chakra should be properly used, and how it is often used improperly.  First of all, everybody only starts out with Stamina. Stamina is the energy we use everyday to run, breath, walk, exercise, even think. Every time we rest, our stamina recovers. Food, rest and fitness are the three most important factors in Stamina capacity and usage. As long as a person sleeps a sufficient amount of time, eats healthy, and exercises daily, there will be no problem with his stamina. This is very important, because stamina creates Chakra; as a result, if there is no stamina, there can be no Chakra, so the shinobi cannot fight. Now as you can see in the above graphic, Taijutsu uses stamina, while ninjutsu and genjutsu use Chakra. You can also see that Naruto has all of his stamina, so he can perform any Tai, Gen, or Nin jutsu he knows.  Now here, Naruto is converting his stamina into Chakra, and with a successful result. This needs a lot of training, and it is the part where most of the stamina is lost. That is, because the user needs to know the exact amount of Chakra he needs in order to execute the technique in mind. As a result, if the ninja doesn't know how much Chakra he needs to use, he cannot convert correctly. Besides that, the ninja must also be able to concentrate just enough to convert the Chakra, which is pretty hard to do while in a heated battle. This is why ninjas at disadvantage and rushed are the one that waste most of their Chakra and stamina. However, note that this only applies for Nin and Gen Jutsu, because Taijutsu needs absolutely no conversion.   Here, we have Naruto as a continuation from the above graphic. As you can see, he has converted 30% of his stamina into Chakra, which leaves him with 70% of stamina left. Now in order to successfully use his Chakra, Naruto must divide it accordingly. As a result, he first wastes 10% of his overall Chakra to do Bunshin no Jutsu. This leaves him with 20% of Chakra left. Now if he was successful, he would use 20% of his remaining Chakra to do Henge no jutsu. However, he uses up only 10%, leaving him with 10% of Chakra left, and thus, wasted.  Now we will explain how a proper and well trained shinobi uses his Chakra. Sakura has always known the best use of Chakra, so she is used in this example. First, she gathers up her Chakra, and converts 30% of her stamina into Chakra. This leaves her with 70% of stamina left. Now, since she can properly use her energy, she has it all calculated. Since her goal is to create 4 Bunshins, she performs the Hand seal, and then focuses her Chakra into creating 3 additional Sakuras, for a total of for. In order to confuse ninjas even more, she equally divides her 30% of Chakra by dividing 10% into each Bunshin, and by that she uses all of her accumulated Chakra, not wasting any energy at all.  In the above picture, Sasuke is about to perform Bunshin no Jutsu. First, as with every other technique, he transforms his Stamina into Chakra by using a hand seal. This is where he is weakest at, because instead of creating the necessary amount, he created a bit more of Chakra. Next, he focuses his Chakra , and he successfully creates 4 Bunshins; however, as you can notice, the excess 10% of Chakra is left out, and thus, wasted. This means that even if the ninja knows how much chakra he needs, mistakes such as this one can occur, and the user can transform more Chakra, leaving him weak.  Here, we have Naruto trying to perform Bunshin no Jutsu as well. However, he is unskilled in both converting Stamina into Chakra, and using his Chakra wisely. As told earlier, the average amount of Chakra for these examples is 10%. So, Naruto starts out (wrongly) by transforming 50% of his overall stamina into Chakra. This would mean that he should create 5 Bunshins in total. However, due to his lack of skills, he fails, and as a result only creates 1 Bunshin. This happened because he couldn?t control his Chakra and force it into a Bunshin correctly. This results in a loss of 40% of Chakra, which is a rather large amount, considering that only 50% of his stamina would be left. Although this isn?t an uncorrectable mistake, training such as wall climbing and water walking can fix this uncontrollability of Chakra.  For our last example, we have rock lee, an elite Taijutsu user. Since Rock Lee has absolutely no need to convert stamina into Chakra, he can just perform his techniques without concentrating into conversion. This gives Taijutsu users an edge, because they do not have to mold up their Chakra in order to attack. It is also beneficial due to the fact that a Taijutsu ninja has a complete control over his movements and energy. As a result, he just focuses his stamina in his feet and uses his Leaf Spinning wind (Konoha Repuu) He does not have to worry about loosing Chakra into conversion.  As a last note, if a Shinobi cannot create any more Chakra, which means he has 0 stamina, he or she dies, or at least gets knocked out. This posses a great danger, because ninjas unskilled at controlling Chakra can easily get killed if they don?t watch out. This wraps our Guide of Chakra use up.

Weapons  Shuriken The shuriken's tactical advantage is it's small size and concealability, and ability for a quick draw which helps one gain the upper hand by using surprise when attacked. With practice, great accuracy with the shuriken can be achieved, and this enhances its tactical advantage. By momentarily disabling an attacker who could be from 3 to 15 paces away, this gives one precious time to collect your thoughts and move to better position from which to deal with the attack. The big ones are for main attacking while the little ones are just for keeping people at bay or killing. Kind of a sub weapon which needs to be used and help dispose of the enemies. All ninjas have the small ones the big ones are used as main weapons. Such as the one the guy in the first episode used.  Knuckle busters with sharp blades Sarutobi Asuma uses these. They are on a persons knuckles and can cut people up and are a good defense against defending a sword. Just like in good old brooklin U.S.A these are regular brass knukles, that is if you don't count the sharp knife-point ends that are on both of them. They are used for close range combat, and for punching and slashing. The knives on the sides of the knuckles make even a dodge painful, for if you do dodge the knuckles, you are sure to be hit with its sharp, peircing edges.  Swords Some ninjas use short swords or special swords. Not much explanation needs to go into this one. Though most ninjas rely on jutsu and kunai knifes some use swords, such as Orochimaru and Gekkou Hayate use swords. They are a great offence and they are very damaging due to the fact that most battles are occurring in high paced combat it seems to be useless unless both opponents are either at the same speed or their about to attack a weaker more slower opponent.  Smoke bombs Just your ordinary smoke bombs to conceal a ninja.  Kunai Knifes A weapon of choice of most genins and a good weapon at that. It can be thrown like a shrunken but can also be used as a close hand to hand combat weapon. You can do pretty much anything with these baby?s.  Exploding tags Usually go at the end of a kunai knife and blow up after a certain amount of time.  Medical and Poison needles Thin needles which are used for medical purposes and ones that are used for killing. Only 2 people are known for using these types of weapons, Shizune and Haku.  Puppets For puppeteer ninjas these are preferred weapons. They need chakra to be used. They seem to evolve as well which Is either due to the fact that the individual upgrades them or some other mysterious way. Kankuro is the only known person to use them.  Fan A destructive offensive fan which uses chakra of their user to create high force wind attacks. They can be used for people to get mobile or for defense. A good weapon but it drains a lot of chakra and needs a lot of strength to be used. Temari is the only known user of this type of weapon.  Gourd This holds water but Gaara uses it for mobile sand on the fly. It is a absolute defense and uses chakra to do other sorts of techniques. A well to do weapon to bad gaara can only use it.  Scrolls Are used for many things such as summoning or medical purposes.  Staffs poles Blunt weapons which are good for deflecting and defending. Only staff so far was the monkey kings Enma when he transformed into the pole for the Third.  Sonic Blasters Built into the palms of the users hands to allow chakra to force out tremendous amounts of sound pressure on their users.  Bells A genjutsu weapon which makes illusions of the enemy and puts them under high hysteria or hallucinations by hearing its sound. This is a weapon that was used in the fight when Shikamuru fought Kin.  Broad sword Zabuzas weapon is much like clouds from Final Fantasy Sevens buster sword. A heavy weapon which is able to literally cut almost anything into 2. Though it has immense power it has a draw back that being its.  SameHade SameHade is the weapon that Hoshigaki Kisame uses, the name means "Shark Skin" Which is ironic as Kisame looks like a shark himself. The blade is not meant "Slice", it's meant to "Shave" people, as the what may be Fins are very sharp.  Sickle & Chain The Sickle & Chain is a weapon that is worn by two people. The two are connected by a chain that can quite easily cut anything in 2. The chain can be detachted so the users may move father away from each other. Warrior Pills Warrior Pills are pills which enhance abilitys for a ninja. The pills the Akimichi Clan and Inuzuka clans use are specialized for just their type of fighting style. The akimichi use 3 different pills each one effects the user in different ways but each one causes immense stress on the body and can almost if not kill the user who took the pill. The Inuza clan use pills to enhance their smell or merge with their particular animal, such as dogs or wolfs. Gamabuntas Daggers Gamabunta has 2 daggers, they are quite strong, and are bigger than some of the tallest trees. We see the daggers used in the Sennin battle, and against Garra fully transformed. Tri-Colored Pills A pill box that has three pills in it, Green, Yellow, and Red. Each pill has and great effect on the body, both good and bad. First, if you take the Green pill, your chakara will multiply ten fold, but if you do, you will not be able to train for 5 hours after use. Then, if you take the yellow pill, your chakara will multiply by fifty, but you will not be able to train for 3 days after use. Finally, you can take the Red pill, if you do, you power will multiply by one hundred times of your current chakara, but if you use this pill, you will face certain death, notmatter what you do to stop it. It is only used as a last resort, and should only be used to protect a friend or to kill someone in a lopsided match, though the yellow pill should always get the job done, a time may come when you must sacrifice your most valued item, your life. Head-Cleaving Sword A gigantic sword that is used by Zabuza, it is a huge cleaver that is at least 8 ft. It takes a massive amount of energy to use it, and almost that much to hold it up. It is a great weapon, and looks evil as hell. Great for the sword lover, and anyone who likes weapons. An Animal Pet It is an animal buddy that can help you in battles. It receives chakara for every hour that you train. The variety of animals that you can buy is Dogs, Frogs, Squirrels, Raccoons, Monkeys, and Rabbits. These may learn a couple of team attacks like, Beast Human Clone that require a food pill. An animal is great in battles, and can sense any foe by using its nose, sight, or hearing. Poison cure Only cure for poison needles form the Hidden rain village. Automatic cure that will fix up any poison wound inflicted upon you. Ointment Heals small wounds inflicted upon you. Doesn?t cure major wounds, but is good with weapon wounds. Can only be used to cure 5 kunai wounds, 15 poison needle wounds ,and 1 stab wound. Needle umbrella. A umbrella of the Hidden Rain villiage, that has 30 posion needles inside of it. When the user Triws the umbrella into the air, it spins spraying the needles at the opponent. To refill the needles, there is a poison needle package bellow. Umbrella Needle package Set of needles that can only be used for umbrellas. Costs much less than buying 30 separate needles, and is a great buy. The Raijin sword A Kohona secret sword that uses pure chakara as the sole provider of a blade. It is like an energy sword in Yu YU hakusho. The more energy that you put into the blade, the stronger the blade, and essentially, the sword itself. Leg weights Increases you chakara boosts made in training by a certain amount. Arm weights Increases your chakara boosts made in training by a certain amount.
