Kitsune's Jutsu (DONE)

Kitsune possesses enhanced senses of hearing and smell making it easy for her to distinguish people by their scent. This skill makes her vital in search missions because she is the one who tracks and also makes the possibility to avoid any trap or enemy.

Kitsune has the ability to flow lightning-natured chakra through weapons to increase their cutting power. Kitsune's prowess in Lightning Release techniques is so great, she can charge a sharp but weak pencil-point to pierce straight through a large tree trunk and even through the ground. Kitsune is able to do this by increasing the vibration frequency of his lightning chakra to surpass the standard penetrative force of wind chakra

Perfect Chakra Control - Kitsune has excellent control over her chakra, and as such she has an innate ability to use techniques to their maximum efficiency without wasting any chakra.

Name: Cloud-Style Reverse Beheading

Name:Cloud-Style Crescent Moon Beheading
Rank: C
Type: Kenjutsu
Style: Cloud Style
Description: The user swings their sword in a single, large, crescent moon-shaped arc, which occurs with such ferocious velocity that the technique can be employed in situations where only a very limited time to react is available.

Rank: C
Type: Kenjutsu
Style: Fire
Description: The user first imbues their blade with fire, before slashing in the direction of the desired enemy, resulting in the creation of large arcs of intense flame that follow the trajectory of the previous swing. A skilled user of this technique, such as Kitsune, is capable of surrounding their immediate area with a circular wall of flames, incinerating multiple targets even if they approach from numerous angles simultaneously.

Name: Dance of the Crescent Moon
Rank: A
Type: Kenjutsu
Description: The user creates three shadow clones, and each one of them assaults the enemy from a blind spot. The attack occurs on three fronts simultaneously, so it's almost impossible to catch them flat-footed. Furthermore, the mighty attacks are so severe that receiving a blow even from one among the three will inevitably result in a fatal wound. In addition, because of the magnificence this ninjutsu projects as they jump at the opponent's upper body in an orbital pattern, the elegance of which is reminiscent of the shape of a crescent moon.

Name: Leaf Style- Willow

Type: Kenjutsu
Style: Lightning
Description: Kitsune goes into a pose with his seven swords. she holds a blade at both his elbow joints, one at her left armpit, one in her mouth, one in her right neck joint, one between her stomach and one at her right leg. As strange as it seems, Kitsune is very skilled with these blades, and spins in a manner similar to a buzz saw, leaving no opening for even a skilled Sharingan user like Sasuke Uchiha and a highly trained swordsman like Suigetsu Hōzuki.
The swords can be charged with lightning chakra to greatly increase their cutting power through high-frequency vibrations.

Name: Fading Step
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Style: Ninja Art
Description: Once activated the user must choose a destination that is with in his field of vision. Once the destination is selected the user is transported directly there by having every layer of their body peeled away into another realm before they are reassembled at the the desired location. The whole process takes only a fraction of a second. The hand seals only need to be formed once for every five teleports. Over use can result in a pain through out the body

Name: Heavenly Transfer Technique
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: With this technique the user is able to transport objects anywhere at the speed of light.

Name: Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: This is a special "ninja tool summon" that allows the user to seal ninja tools like swords or kunai into a scroll or their clothes beforehand, allowing them to be called upon when needed. The ninja tools can be summoned in an instant just by touching the sealing "marks" which can be drawn anywhere. The greatest advantage of this technique is that the time between taking out a ninja tool, taking the right stance and actually throwing it is greatly reduced. Also when a weapon such as a Fūma Shuriken is summoned, the time needed to throw it can be further shortened by having prepared the weapon in its fully extended form beforehand.

The ninja tools are thrown with the actual speed of a "flash of lightning", ruining the opponent's outset of the battle, and snatching away the initiative. Furthermore, because the summoned ninja tools can remain hidden until right before they are used, if this technique is mastered, there are an exceptional number of possible tactics. A large number of ninja tools can be stored within the sealing marks, which can make the efficiency of this technique last longer. (Kitsune has the tatto for this justu on both her arms)

Name: Narashi Mystic Palm
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: This medical ninjutsu relies on the Narashi clan to draw some of their blood and cover it on their palms it allows the user to speed up the body's natural healing process by sending chakra from their hands into a wound or afflicted body part.

Name: Chakra Scalpel
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: This medical technique forms one's chakra into a small, sharp blade. This can then be used for highly accurate incisions necessary for surgeries and anatomical dissections. Unlike regular scalpels, the Chakra Scalpel can actually make cuts inside the body without actually creating an open wound, limiting the risks of an infection.

The Chakra Scalpel can also be used offensively, although it requires great precision to be effective. Because of this requirement, using the Chakra Scalpel offensively is highly unusual. In heated combat, even the greatest medical-nin won't be able to exert the precision needed to make fatal cuts, but it can still effectively cut muscle tissues and tendons, rendering the target immobile.

Name: Mystic Palm
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Style: Ninja Art
Description: This medical ninjutsu allows the user to speed up the body's natural healing process by sending chakra from their hands into a wound or afflicted body part. This allows the user to heal a patient without the need for medical equipment or surgery, making it highly useful on the battlefield. It can be used to treat both external and internal injuries. It is vital to match the amount of chakra used to the severity of the affliction or injury. This requires a great amount of chakra control. Because of this, only a few highly skilled medical-nin are able to use this technique. By sending an excess amount of chakra into the patient's body, the user can overload the patient's normal circulation, trapping them in a comatose state. Although this is usually undesirable, Kabuto Yakushi once effectively used this side effect to get Kiba Inuzuka out of his way.

When this substance comes in contact with the air outside the body, it instantly changes and is transformed into a mist of deadly poison. The poison's ability to kill is tremendous, just breathing in a small amount will mean the end of the targets life. As this technique combines ninjutsu, chemistry, and medical knowledge, using it requires fine chakra control and advanced ability in medical ninjutsu.

Name: Delicate Illness Extraction Technique
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Style: Ninja Art
Description: When a person has been afflicted by a pathogen or toxin, this medical ninjutsu can be used to draw out the agent and heal the damage. The cause of the illness is first determined by perceiving disturbances in the patient's chakra. Then, using a Chakra Scalpel, an incision is made into the affected part. Using their chakra, the medical-nin then draws out the agent, while simultaneously repairing the damage it caused.

After the agent is drawn out, it can be used to create an antidote or medicine, which can then be given to the patient to ensure a complete recovery. This technique requires the utmost care and ability in diagnosis and incising and unmatched chakra control. Therefore, it is considered an extremely difficult technique, even among medical ninjutsu.

Name: Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: This jutsu uses a part of the patient's body as a medium to heal their wounds. A large, square seal is drawn on the floor and the patient is placed at the center.

Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu

Name: Shadow Clone Technique
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Description: Similar to the Clone Technique, this jutsu creates clones of the user. Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original.

Unlike other clone techniques, they can't be detected by the Byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance, making them indistinguishable from the actual person. In the anime, Sasuke Uchiha claims that the Sharingan can distinguish clones from the original, however various events throughout the series seem to indicate that this is not the case, implying that the Sharingan was merely used to keep track of the original's movements.

Name: Shadow Shuriken
Rank: D

Description: The user of this technique throws multiple large shuriken, for instance the Fūma Shuriken, in such a way that the first shuriken hides the subsequent ones by blocking the line of sight.

This technique however is a once a week Jutsu.

Name: Chakra Absorption
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Style: Ninja Art
Description: The Chakra Absorption Technique allows the user to absorb an opponent's chakra. In the anime, it has been shown that stored-up energy can also be released in the form of a shock wave.

The user doesn't have to actually touch the opponent as it can be used through other mediums which chakra can be channeled, as Jirōbō did with his Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome of Magnificent Nothingness.

It is unknown if this technique is truly considered a jutsu or not. It has never been given an entry in any of the databooks. However, it is not considered a kekkei genkai ability either, since it has been performed by several people with no known relation. It's most likely that the technique is simply an effect of other jutsu. Only Yoroi Akadō uses a plain chakra absorption technique. Orochimaru describes it as an unholy ability but never goes into detail.

Name: Jeet Kune Do["Way of the Intercepting Fist"] (JKD)
Rank: Varies on Ninja Level
Type: Taijutsu Style
Description: The prize and standard style of the Narashi clan invented by Gaiden Narashi JKD practitioners also subscribe to the notion that the best defense is a strong offense, hence the principle of "Intercepting". Gaiden believed that in order for an opponent to attack someone they had to move towards them. This provided an opportunity to "intercept" that attack or movement. The principle of interception covers more than just intercepting physical attacks. Gaiden believed that many non-verbals and telegraphs (subtle movements that an opponent is unaware of) could be perceived or "intercepted" and thus be used to one's advantage literally the user is able to read movements. The "5 Ways of Attack" are attacking categories that help Jeet Kune Do practitioners organize their fighting repertoire and comprise the offensive portion of JKD. The concepts of Stop hits & stop kicks and simultaneous parrying & punching simultaneous defending and attacking, and comprise the defensive portion of JKD.

The Taijutsu style is based on terms of "Flexibility" following that Water is infinitely flexible. It can be seen through, and yet at other times it can obscure things from sight. It can split and go around things, rejoining on the other side, or it can crash through things. It can erode the hardest rocks by gently lapping away at them or it can flow past the tiniest pebble. This concept allows the user to easily adapt and evade situations and attacks with ease as well as being able to have an Unpredictable movement of attacking ad well as an Unreadable.

These clones are more powerful than Mizu Bunshin clones, being a 1/4 of the user's statistics, but that isn't the best part about these clones; once struck, they can do one of two things: either they can split apart to create a completely new clone, or they can ensnare the person striking them by sticking to them. If the clone splits, another clone appears, albeit only the size of whatever part was split from the clone. If the target strikes a clone without realizing what material they are made out of, the target's limb will be lodged and captured into the clone while the other clones pile on top of the target to encase them in a syrupy substance, possibly suffocating them.
