Jutsu, or skills/techniques,
are the mystical arts a ninja will utilize in battle. To perform a
jutsu, the ninja will manipulate their chakra and may use some form
of hand seal. Some techniques like Taijutsu do not require hand
seals, however the ninja may use them to focus their chakra to
certain areas of their body. Also some Ninjutsu like Rasengan and
various weapon utilizations do not require any hand seal
use.
By forming hand seals, the
ninja is able to mold their chakra and manifest the desired jutsu.
Because of the extensive number of hand seals and different
combinations, there are thousands of potential jutsu to be
discovered and used. The hand seals themselves come from the twelve
signs of the Chinese Zodiac. The appearance of the seals stem from
Hindu and Buddhist iconography, and are called
"Mudra" meaning "seal" or "sign" in Sanskrit. These hand
gestures helped identify the nature and function of the deity who
used them. Over time the positions and traditions changed as they
were adopted and moved from country to
country.
In addition to these
hand seals, certain jutsu have their own unique hand and finger
positions, such as the gestures used in Kage Bunshin, Shintenshin,
etc.. Every ninja in the series save for one has used both hands to
form seals. Haku used one-handed seals in his Hyouton bloodline
limit techniques. It is unknown if this was a skill unique to the
whole of the bloodline or merely Haku himself. Note this is
different than the one handed chakra focusing gesture one sees a lot
of ninja use.
