What is jutsu?
Jutsu literally mean art or skill in English (see name dictionary) and is a term more popularly linked to the traditional fighting methods of the samurai. To apply it in the world of Naruto, to say something no jutsu' would mean something like 'the art (or skill) of something'. For example, kage (shadow) bunshin (replication) no jutsu would literally mean the 'skill of shadow replication'. 'Jutsu' is sometimes confused with 'jitsu', which means fighting art. But since meanings of the 2 words are similar, I guess it doesn't matter. Just wanted to clear that up so you don't get into arguments about whether it's 'jutsu' or 'jitsu'.
Hand Seals
Hand seals are making signs with your hands. The seals consist of mixing and matching the basic oriental 12 astrological signs - Rat, Bull, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Boar.
Ninjutsu
Ninjutsu in reality is the art practiced by the ninjas of feudal Japan. In the Naruto world, ninjutsus are like magic tricks where you can make yourself disappear or turn sexy, or clone yourself and the works by forming hand seals
Taijutsu
Taijutsu can be called Body Art and is a term used to describe hand-to-hand combat without the use of weapons, just your body. No hand seals are required for Taijutsu as you only have to depend on your strength and speed.
Genjutsu
Genjutsu in the Naruto world is a kind of technique to attack your enemy by casting illusions. For example, making them believe they are attacked by a hoard of tigers or showing them illusions of their comrades falling. Genjutsus are also activated by hand seals.
Kinjutsu
Kinjutsu in the Naruto world are the forbidden techniques where those who cast the jutsu might put their life at risks. The forbidden fruit is always the most tasty though so these dangerous techniques are sought after by baddies.
Chakra Information
Chakra is simply stated, the energy you use when doing a jutsu. Basically, to do ninjutsu or genjutsu, you must mix your Chakra, whichskills, 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 used for healing-purposes back in their days. It's a light green Chakra that can heal physical damage on one's body. It heals wounds at an accelerated rate. The ninja focuses this type of Chakra to their hands, and then touches the injured spot to begin the healing process.
Other information, will be told to you after school in tutoring, if you ask for it. is bodily energy collected from cells throughout the body, and spirtiual energy, which is gained through experiences. Then by doing the proper handseals, the jutsu can be activated. Once Chakra is activated, various techniques and movements can be used. Without Chakra a ninja wouldn't be able to do much.
Chakra Types
Normal Chakra
Normal Chakra has a light blue colour to it. It is used for many things. This Chakra is sort of a basic chakra. It can be used for most
