Name: Body Replacement Technique
Rank: E-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: None
Range: Mid (7m)
Handseals: Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake
Description: With this technique, users replace their own body with some other object, generally with a block of wood, the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. From this, the user can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the battlefield. Explosive tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise. It's a basic ninjutsu even taught at the Academy, but it's a useful art that can be applied in variety of situations.

Name: Cloak of Invisibility Technique
Rank: E-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: None
Range: Close
Description: This technique allows a ninja to take a cloak or a piece of cloth to blend into an object, making them invisible.

Name: Clone Technique
Rank: E-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: None
Range: Clone can travel up to 10m from user
Handseals: Ram → Snake → Tiger
Speed: Clones move at same speed as user
Description: A ninjutsu that creates an intangible copy of one's own body, without any substance. Since the clone itself doesn't have the ability to attack, and thus can only be used to confuse the enemy, it is mainly used in combination with other ninjutsu. It's a basic technique, but depending on one's ingenuity, it can be used effectively. The clones may not dissipate when they come into contact with something. These clones can be easily distinguished by persons with dōjutsu. A person with normal eyes can also distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones do not have shadows and will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (i.e. won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.).

Name: Rope Escape Technique
Rank: E-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: None
Range: Close
Description: A basic technique taught at the Academy. It allows a ninja to free themselves if they have been tied up. How this is done is unknown.

Name: Transformation Technique
Rank: E-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: None
Range: Close
Handseals: Dog → Boar → Ram
Description: Given all the missions ninja are assigned to - battle, intelligence gathering, diversions - this is a priceless ninjutsu. It is typically used to change into people other than oneself, but one also has the ability to change into animals, plants, and even inanimate objects like weapons. This gives this technique an abundance of uses. The transformation of a skilled shinobi will be exactly like the genuine article, so it will be impossible to tell the two apart. On the other hand, a transformation performed by an inexperienced person will have obvious discrepancies. It will be impossible to deceive anyone with it. This is one of the most basic ninjutsu, as such most shinobi know how to perform it. The transformation technique is considered to be among the more difficult E-ranked techniques, since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form. On top of that, the user would be, most likely, interacting with the environment. This puts mental strain on an inexperienced ninja. Thus the best way to determine if it is indeed a transformation is to cause this strain upon the user; though this is of course not always successful.

Name: Tree Climbing Practice
Rank: E-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: None
Range: Close
Description: Tree Climbing Practice is a training method used to gain more skills with chakra control. This training involves focusing a fixed amount of chakra to the bottom of one's feet, and using that to climb a tree without using one's hands. If the stream of chakra is too weak, the user will lose their footing on the tree and fall off. If it is too strong, the user will be pushed away from the tree, causing the tree to break around the point of contact and the user will fall.

Name: Water Surface Walking Practice
Rank: E-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: None
Range: Close
Description: This training method is used to gain better chakra control. To do this, the user has to be emitting a constant stream of chakra from the bottom of their feet and using the repellent force to walk across the water's surface. This technique is more difficult to master than the Tree Climbing Practice, because the amount of chakra that needs to be emitted changes constantly. It has also been shown that one can use their chakra to "skate" across the water surface, like an ice skater, instead of just walking or running. It is noted, that shinobi reach a state where they stand on water without even noticing it or basically even trying.

Name: Body Flicker Technique
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/a
Range: -
Handseals: Ram
Speed: Boosts user's Speed by 30
Description: The Body Flicker Technique is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination. (May not initiate an attack until the next post. This applies to all techniques akin to this jutsu.)

Name: Kai ~ Release
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Close
Description: Kai is a Ninjutsu which allows the ninja to avoid the effects of a Genjutsu illusion. After forming the needed handseals, the Genjutsu technique will not affect the ninja. The ninja can also use the technique on another individual who was unable to avoid the attack. After forming the needed hand seals, the ninja touches the one affected to end the affect of the spell.

Name: Sensing
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Based on Ninjutsu Skill
Description: Sensing is a skill used by sensor type shinobi to detect chakra. Using this technique, sensors can easily detect, and track down targets. The range of this technique varies between sensors. The user may only detect things which contain chakra, a normal kunai would be undetectable whilst a chakra infused one would be detectable ect.

Name: Chakra Suppression Technique
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Close
Description:  This passive ability allows the user to suppress their chakra to the point that it is completely undetectable, although it depends on Ninjutsu Skill. If one's Ninjutsu Skill is equal or higher than the sensor's Ninjutsu Skill, then they are able to hide their chakra from them. This means that if one has a Ninjutsu Tier 5, they'll be able to hide their chakra from someone who's also a Ninjutsu Tier 5.

The downside of this ability is that since the user suppresses their chakra, they are unable to use sense other targets. Furthermore, the suppression is de-activated the moment they use a jutsu that requires chakra (some techniques like Taijutsu can be excluded from this).

Name: Shadow Clone
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Can be anywhere in the same country as user
Handseals: Clone seal
Speed: Clone moves at same speed as user
Description: Similar to the basic clone technique, this technique creates copies of the user. However, these clones are corporeal instead of 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 techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after hit by a strong enough force. The clones can also disperse on their own or be dispelled by the user of the technique. Shadow clones can't be distinguished from the original with Sharingan, Byakugan, or Rinnegan.  Shadow clones also seem to be able to think for themselves and feel the original's pain to some extent.

Name: Clone Great Explosion
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Explosion covers a 10m blast radius
Handseals: Clone Seal
Speed: Explosion moves at Speed of 80.
Description: The technique creates a clone that looks like a normal shadow clone, which allows the user to get it close to the target without them expecting anything besides a normal attack, or the target might even close in willingly to try to attack the clone. Using multiple tricks and diversionary tactics to disguise the nature of the clone can make this technique more likely to be effective. The clone can be detonated when the wielder wishes it.

Name: Wind Release: Infinite Sand Cloud - Great Breakthrough
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: 40m
Handseals: Snake, Tiger, Rat.
Speed: 70
Description: The user first inhales air with his or her mouth and blows it out along with a chakra-coated sand cloud. This powerful squall covers a large angle in a stream sufficient to knock the trees down and damage them with the sand. This technique is extremely efficient even against multiple enemies.

Name: Wind Release: Pressure Damage
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Wind
Range: 20m
Handseals: Ram
Speed: 50
Description: A tornado-like mass is compressed until it has a very high density and is then released. The wind pressure is raised to its highest limit, and once the technique hits the target, the resulting blast sweeps everyone off their feet. If the technique is used by someone who has mastered wind nature transformation, the blast can hit a vast range, inflicting massive damage on both the target and their surroundings. This technique can be combined with the Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work, to increase the flame's potency in a great scale, causing a massive fire-storm.

Name: Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Fire
Range: 30 meters
Handseals Rat → Dog → Tiger
Speed: 70
Description: The user fires a small fireball that erupts into a giant fire-storm after making contact with a surface, causing widespread destruction to the area. Since the flames travel along the ground, and cover such a wide area this is a difficult technique to evade.

Name: Secret Sword: Moonlight
Rank: B-rank
Type: Bukijutsu
Element: None
Range: Close
Speed: Accelerates user by 20 Speed for an instant
Description: Hayate rushes to his opponent with great speed before leaping towards and attacking them with a vertical sword strike, leaving a trace of afterimage in the process.

Name: Iaidō
Rank: A
Type: Bukijutsu
Element:-
Range: Close
Description: The term Iaidō (居合道) refers to a specific style of kenjutsu that is concerned with the smooth, controlled movements of drawing the sword from its scabbard, striking or cutting an opponent, removing blood from the blade, and then replacing the sword in the scabbard. The linear motion and force applied to draw the sword from the scabbard results in slashes that are faster and stronger than ones executed with the sword already drawn.

The speed at which these techniques can be executed — the initial strike in particular — is such, that when performed by a skilled user, it can prevent enemy shinobi from forming hand seals (and thus ninjutsu), by exploiting the small opening that these movements create. This makes them highly effective against most shinobi. this is only effective against shinobi within reach of your speed or lower.

User can intercept target so long as they're within melee range and so long as their Handseal speed is no more than 30 stat points higher than the user's weapon speed.
