Q: Why do the Naruto people run like that?
A: It actually helps them. Now picture a person running upright. That thing called air resistance is slowing them down for every place it touches. Now, imagine someone Naruto-style running. Since they're bent over, they cut down about two feet of air resistance, so it makes them faster. And yes, it does work in real life. I've increased my running speed by about 1 mph with the same effort as 1 mph less.
Q: Why am I so out of breath when i run that way?
A: The same reason you can't play a flute while you're slouching. When you're bent over, there's a lot of pressure from your ribs pushing on your lungs. Since your lungs can't expand normally, you can't breathe as well and get out of breath. So relax, you're probably in great shape.
Q: Why do they jump with only one foot?
A: It's really simple. If they're running, tracking something or running away, they can't afford to lose any time. If they were to jump with both legs, they would have to stop completely and most likely lose their balance.
Q: What about that time where Shino was on his knees and jumped up without moving?
A: In some ways, it is possible. Since he's leaning against the wall, his weight is distributed there and not on his feet. Then he lifts his feet up and pounds down. Of course, you have to have a lot of leg strength to do that. And the direction of force in real life would cause you to go up and backwards.
Q: Could we do the Puppet Master Jutsu like Kankuro with ordinary string?
A: No. Kankuro has ten strings, and ten strings can only pull ten points unless you hook each string up to different points, and that would make the actions of your puppet uncontrollable.
Q: Is it really quieter to stalk someone stepping foot by foot?
A:Of course! If you step one foot at a time, there is less weight, barely any if you're an expert, thus resulting in far less sound.
Q: How does the summoning jutsu really work?
A: Here's my theory: When using the Summoning Jutsu, Your chakra travels through the ground at light-speed (your blood a tribute to give it more speed) and locates the object you're summoning. The object then becomes sort of a ghost, invisible and traveling through objects, until it reaches its destination. Its return to physical form is what causes the cloud of smoke. And, of course, you couldn't do it in real life, or at least in this manner. If you wanted to make it look like a summoning jutsu to fool your friends, try hiding an electromagnet up your sleeve (as long as what you're retrieving is magnetic!) Then make the hand signs and turn on the magnet. Of course, you have to be sure the object is close enough.
Q: Do the gates exist in real life?
A: In a way. There's some glands in the vicinity of your kidneys that act like the gates. If you've ever heard of that "adrenaline rush", this is what causes it. They store energy that is only released in dire conditions. Not exactly the power of a Hokage, but enough to keep you going. And you can't release the energy voluntarily.
Q: Do we have chakra points?
A: Debatable. We do have pressure points, and if you poke them very hard, the pain lasts for quite a while. (I speak from experience XP) However, Pressure points have no connection to most organs, so you can't kill a person just by poking them on a pressure point. The only way to kill with just a finger is at the temple. >.> <.< But I didn't tell you that...
Q: Could Sharingan exist in real life?
A: Surprisingly, yes. We actually see through these things we call pupils which expand and contract to gather or block light and only by having two eyes can we have depth perception. It's theorized that the only reason why we can't see through walls and other solid objects is the biochemical making up our eyes. If they were aligned and composed differently, we'd have sharper or duller vision, we'd perceive other colors, and have different ranges of vision. For example, eagles and raptors can "zoom" like a camera, and many animals see in different colors, and better or worse than we can. Also, our eyes take things in like a camera rapidly going off and throwing the image onto our brains. I think fighting games are usually about 60 frames per second, so imagine how fast we see...(I don't know how many FPS we see at). Think about if we could see at 1000fps. We'd be able to copy anything, just as long as our brains could handle it. Apparently the Uchihas can, and so can Kakashi. The tomoe (comma thingies) in the Sharingan are probably pupils, each taking in from a different angle and with a different dilation and purpose, therefore allowing the user to take in a rapid movement with perfect precision and depth perception. The red is probably evidence of a different composition of the eyeball itself. It could also be large irises and partial albinism (like albinos). The Uchiha may have a special condition where they have normal amounts of melanin in their skin, but not in their eyes. The base color for your eyes is red, it's melanin that colors it. But most likely just the chemical makeup of the eye. So how could we have it in real life? The answer is the job I'd like to pursue: genetic engineering. If we analyze the "code" for the chemical makeup of hawk eyes and cause mutations in a human eye, we could possibly, in the nearer-than-you'd-expect future, give someone Sharingan.
Q: Could Byakugan work in real life?
A: Yes. Remember how I mentioned that all we need to do in order to see things with different dimensions is to change the biochemical make up of our eyeballs? Byakugan users are born with it which explains their eye color. When they tense up and use it, we see veins in their faces and eyeballs because they're forcing blood into it to see not just through bodies, but through really dense objects or organs and blood, and to focus on the chakra running through a person and by this focus they are able to see where this energy concentrates, therefore they can see the tenketsus.
The huge range of vision? Hyuugas have compound eyes like insects...but better. Their eyes only look pupil-less because they're covered with billions upon billions of tiny eyes, all looking and re-focusing at lightning speed. And yes, we could also get Byakugan from genetic engineering.
Q: How could the clones be independent of each other but also the same person in the way of thinking?
A: My theory is that when cloning using the jutsu (which could not occur in real life), every cell in your body goes through rapid mitosis, and the product cells,which are not true cells, split apart into separate bodies. Afterwards, the false cells merge and disappear after going through the opposite of mitosis. So, each clone is somewhat like a twin, each going through separate experiences and not knowing exactly what happened to the other. However, since neurons (brain cells) cannot replicate, the brain is actually split instead of copied. This is why they remember the experience of each clone after the jutsu is finished.
Q: Could the Wind Scythe Jutsu do any damage without debris?
A: Somewhat. The wind could, of course, knock the opponent against the wall or other object. Wind in itself, however, couldn't do any damage without debris. There is one case, but it's very unlikely that the Wind Scythe could do it. In theory, if the wind were strong and concentrated enough, it could burst open the skin. Of course, it would have to be very concentrated. So as for scratches, pretty much impossible for just wind. But if you had complete control of the air, you could concentrate it at the trachea (or other area) without debris and squeeze to cause lasting damage or suffocation. But keep in mind that it's close to impossible to get a room without any kind of debris.
Q: How does regular illusion Genjutsu work?
A: In your brain, chemical reactions take place, and these reactions are what cause thoughts and movement. Plain illusion Genjutsu stimulate and control certain reactions, and thus puts the victim in a position where the place feels, looks, smells, hears, and even tastes real. By controlling some brain functions, the Genjutsu caster doesn't have to mess with nerves, eyes, mouths, or any body part to make it "real". They just mess with the brain, and that's it.
I thought I'd be interesting to have this up. SPRockLee said it was cool. It could also help us out when we're teaching jutsu's or learning them.
