Having Long Time Traditions – The Ninja Clans From All Over the Ninja World*
Before Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage, conceptualized the system of hidden ninja-villages, numerous ninja-clans clashed their swords in every corner of the ninja-world, to claim rulership for themselves. During that period of turmoil of war, each ninja-clan developed their own ninjutsu. These ninjutsu were carried over and refined from generation to generation.
When the system of hidden villages gets developed, most ninja-clans found themselves in the [respective] village philosophy. They submitted themselves to this [respective] philosophy and banded together in the villages. Thus began a new era and also cross-clan battle traditions developed. There are however clans, that didn’t affiliate with the hidden villages and nowadays pass on their jutsu in complete seclusion. Others had to go through the terrible experience, to witness how their clan and traditional ninjutsu ceased to extinct.
For generations, the Yotsuki Clan has lived in the Valley of Clouds and Lightning. When the Yotsuki showed their support to the First Raikage, they were dedicated land to in return for that.
The Hoozuki Clan, which belongs to Kirigakure, has passed on the Hydrification Technique.

The Remnants of Root – That Lurks in Konohagakure’s Shadows
For the implementation of Danzo’s personally ideal shinobi, in order to raise an army, [Root] is [his] ANBU training division. Existing in the shadows of Konoha, forming dark and deep roots. [It’s purpose is for] elimination of obstructions to the prosperous village from behind-the-scenes, as it’s [Root’s] maximum priority. For that reason, regardless of the means of execution, [they] certainly symbolize Danzo’s “Darkness of Shinobi”as a heartless, even atrocious organization…
Solicitation of personnel was [done via recruitment] personally by Danzo. People who possessed unique abilities and those who possessed “Darkness” in their hearts, etc. were selected… [Danzo] requires group member “Depersonalization” training while also applying cursed seals for the sake of retention of secrecy. As pieces in accomplished missions, the members [went through] thorough cultivation.
Though dismantled after a certain incident, the activities continued from ‘underwater’.
With no future nor emotions…the shinobi of Root, transformed into puppets [for the] accomplished missions.
Left at Various Places – Remnants of Kaguya Ootsutsuki
The blood lineage of Ootsutsuki Kaguya , who ate the fruit of the God Tree. That is the root that is attached to the faint breath that spreads throughout the current ninja world. The representative is the Byakugan, carried by Kaguya. This is what the Hyuuga Clan has been passing on until now, inheriting both the Gentle Fist and seeing all chakra tenketsu. Also, even in shinobi from destroyed clans, remnants of blood can apparently be seen.
The forehead markings and the ability to use “bones” as weapons. What is the relationship of the Kaguya Clan and Kaguya…!?
Praised as Konoha’s strongest, the Hyuuga. The ancient tradition of the Byakugan has been passed on until now.
Kaguya, who became the progenitor of chakra. The power that once ruled the world is now….

Reaching to the Mysterious World – Sages – Three Sage Regions
The three big Summoning Animals, summoned by Konoha’s proud Legendary Three Ninja ― Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru. They inhabit the Mount Myouboku, Shikkotsu Forest and Ryuuchi Cave which had great influence on the ninja world since ancient times. Therefore they’re considered to be unexplored regions, and are said to be places still wrapped in many mysteries.
Ryuuchi Cave – The place where Kabuto studied at the side of the White Snake Sage.
The Shikkotsu Forest is where Tsunade’s and Sakura’s summon Katsuyu lives.
Mount Myouboku – Also called the “Mountain of Bewilderment”. From Konoha, it’s one month of walking away.
The Kages and Traditions Handed Down In All Villages – Konoha
The Kages and Traditions Handed Down In All Villages – Suna
The Kages and Traditions Handed Down In All Villages – Iwa
The Kages and Traditions Handed Down In All Villages – Kiri
The village is set up in a mountainous region, making it impregnable. Therefore, the internal conditions are hidden. Although it took on an isolation policy during the Fourth Mizukage’s era and was called the “Bloody Mist Village”, it now aims at being an “open village”…
Honouring “inheritance”, the successive generations of masters of the ninja swords are inherited.
Fifth Mizukage | Fourth Mizukage | Third Mizukage | Second Mizukage | First Mizukage
The oldest of each generation sits at the village politics top as the “Eldest”. Because the strongest is made Mizukage, there are cases were young people become Kage, such as the Fourth, Yagura.
The Kages and Traditions Handed Down In All Villages – Kumo
Changes to Match the Mission – Shinobi Attire – Winter Method*
Cold weather missions are considerably harsh for the Shinobi of the five big villages, who are used to milder climates. Atrophy of the body due to the cold significantly decreases the performance of the ninjas, making it impossible to fully exercise their original power. As a countermeasure, each village developed a winter version of traditional shinobi clothing. This is used in missions in cold places, like the Land of Iron.
The use of a cloak is usual, as it does not add much weight.
Even though [they are] shinobi, the cold is still uncomfortable. Protective measures against extreme climates are also necessary for shinobi.
The Father of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen – His Name is Sasuke Sarutobi
Behind the admired Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, there followed a shinobi. The name of that shinobi was Sarutobi Sasuke. He was Hiruzen’s father. Hiruzen, who could manipulate all five natures and was called Professor, inherited his talent from his great father: Sarutobi Sasuke…!!
Mikoto Uchiha gave her child the hero’s name, so that it would grow up well.
Sarutobi Sasuke’s fame was acknowledged by the prideful Uchiha Clan as well.
A Furious Mind – Mizukage Mei – Record of Mistaken Thoughts
Protected by Samurai – Inviolable by Shinobi – The Land of Iron
A country that aims at neutrality with other countries. Located on top of a mountain, covered in endless snow is the Land of Iron, with a climate that’s extraordinary cold. Growing up in a harsh environment. What allows the neutral relationship is their military power. If they appear to be attacked, it’s clear that the attacking country will suffer great damage as well.
Possessing a great battle power, the Land of Iron respects morality. It makes sense that they gained a deep trust from the other villages because of that virtue. Considered as a neutral position between the Five Great Ninja Countries, “General” Mifune is appointed as the chairman of the Five Kage Summit. He accomplished that important task while splendidly sticking to his impartial standpoint. It’s a country that’s acknowledged by the other countries.
The Land of Iron lies on top of the mountain called Three Wolves. It’s a unique country that’s isolated from the Ninja World.
Everyone is a combat expert. Letting chakra flow into the sword carried at their hips, they kill their enemies with the lengthened blade. It’s the samurai’s unique way of fighting.
Chuunin Selection Exam – The Changes of 24 Years
The academy was established as an excellent shinobi training institution during the Second Hokage’s era. That facility’s symbolic system surely is the Chuunin Selection Exams. Although it’s a test to discover those who’re capable to work as platoon leaders, the contents sometimes reflect the nature of that era and come to change.
Recently, the abilities to collect information and assessing the situation as essential qualities of a chuunin have also become big subjects of evaluation. However, it was in the middle of the Ninja World War during Kakashi and the others’ era that increasing the fighting strength was more important. At that time, it was a “training method” to force young people onto the battlefield to master the necessary abilities as a captain in combat.
Second Test – The second exam was largely different from the current one. It was a direct combat of three vs. three.
Third Test – During Kakashi’s era, the third test was a one vs. one fight to test the individual combat abilities.
A Battle With the Pride on the Line!? Naruto vs Konohamaru*
My only dream is to become a Hokage. A confrontation in Konohagakure fought by two ninjas with the same dream. Even if the battle seems ridiculous to anyone who sees it from the outside, the two participants take it seriously. The fierce battle between the two men is not over yet!
A Sexy Technique battle begins with the two facing each other.
In addition to Sexy Technique, Naruto also taught Rasengan to Konohamaru.
The competition is taken seriously, since both consider themselves “Rivals”.
Blessing and Compensation – Forbidden Techniques – The Reasons
The chakra one possesses can be used in limitless ways, ninja clans have inherited jutsu since ancient times, and the development of new jutsu will be conducted once more.
However, in using those newly created jutsu, risks also follow; after the hidden villages’ systems were established, many of those [jutsu] were specified as kinjutsu.
The jutsu that were motioned to be sealed were mostly – those that expended large amounts of chakra, and those that lead the jutsu caster’s oneself or other persons to consequential death.
This is the starting point of “peacekeeping” in the Hidden Villages’ systems — simply put, in consideration for “so that blood will not be spilt in vain”.
Because the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique requires a large amount of chakra, its use comes with the risk of death.
Impure World Reincarnation is the summoning of the dead by using live bodies as the catalyst. Of course, a kinjutsu.

When one experiences the death of the person closest to him, the true awakening of the Sharingan into the Mangekyou Sharingan is achieved. Moreover, by transplanting another one’s Mangekyou Sharingan, that power becomes eternal.
Obito | Kakashi
Because Kakashi’s Sharingan was originally Obito’s, their pattern is the same.
Sasuke | Itachi | Sasuke: Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan
Sasuke transplanted his older brother Itachi’s Mangekyou Sharingan.
Madara | Izuna | Madara: Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan
Madara obtained eternal power by transplanting his younger brother Izuna’s eyes.
Grotesque Figures – Rampaging Personalities – Cursed Seals – That Power’s Origin
Having an eye on a special clan’s ability to take in the power of nature and the source of that ability, Orochimaru conducted research on the body of one of that clan’s descendants: Jugo. From that, the cursed seal was developed. Having found out that the origin of Jugo’s power was the Ryuuchi Cave, Orochimaru concluded that the cursed seal’s natural shape was Senjutsu.
The gentle Juugo changed completely…!! While he obtains power, he also turns into an rampaging berserker.
In Juugo’s village, the state after invoking the power of Senjutsu is referred to as Sage Transformation.
Sasuke, who had adapted to the cursed seal, borrowed Jugo’s power, endowing Susano’o with natural energy. This allowed them to effectively attack the Ten-Tails’ Jinchuriki: Obito.
Inherited From the Teacher to the Disciple – The Secret of the Birth of Hiden Ninjutsu
Flying Thunder God Technique, Impure World Reincarnation and so on, regardless of the difficulty in their mastery and operation, stories about these jutsu continue to be handed down for generations to come. Such high-rank ninjutsu were created (invented!) by a certain expert in jutsu-development. It was the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama.
Tobirama’s developed jutsu were later inherited by a disciple, a user whose name was rising. Namikaze Minato improved the mastery of Flying Thunder God Technique, and thus took the nickname the Yellow Flash. The excellent jutsu was refined according to the disciple, who evolved it together with the era. The future of Shadow Clone Technique and Rasengan is dependent upon Naruto!?
Moving in the blink of an eye to where the marking had already been placed, the Flying Thunder God Technique!!
Minato’s Rasengan in due time, to his son…
Releasing The Soul of the Shackled Death – Impure World Reincarnation Release Method
Impure World Reincarnation – a jutsu that cannot be terminated even if the technique-user dies, a powerful technique of compelling force (a powerful technique that forces obedience to its contract). However, if and only if the dead person has residual willpower, there is a way to release the technique. Connect the dead person to the Release Seal – with this seal, the technique-user’s summoning contract is terminated, and the dead person’s spirit will leave the body.
The [hand] seals that are the weakness of the Impure World Reincarnation comprise of the Rat, Ox, Monkey, Tiger, Dragon and Boar [hand] seals.
[Kotoamatsukami] If the dead person is caught by a powerful genjutsu, the instructions (contract) can be overwritten.

The Technology That Supports Shinobi! Ninja World Civilization – The Essence of Techniques
As for shinobi life, it’s represented in chakra that makes use of many supernatural acts. It’s something that exists together with the way of things of the world. Nonetheless, [the world] is not without scientific technology; while using a harmony between nature and science, those are ideally used for making coexisting advancements.
Speaking of the harmony between chakra and science, the one running the leading edge is probably Kumogakure Village. [Harnessing] Lightning…in other words, there are many technologies that make use of electrical power. That know-how is put to practical use for the source of power for vehicles such as ships and [among other things], for means of communication. Also for shinobi, there are necessary times when there is an exchange [of information] between villages. Perhaps without science, there is no advancement….
Kumogakure Village possesses a boat. There is no sail, as it seems to have electric power as it’s driving force
Using a monitor for real-time correspondence. Also, storage of electrical power is possible.

Handed down since ancient times by Kumogakure, are these five mighty shinobi tools. They are called the Sage of the Six Path’s Tools, items that are said, those who exceptionally demonstrate their power surpass even the Five Kage. However, their usage expends enormous amounts of chakra, hence ordinary people will not be able to use them. Kumo’s Kinkaku and Ginkaku, using this power and the Nine-Tails’ chakra, inflicted heavy injuries unto the Second Raikage and Second Hokage that brought them close to the brink of death.
Golden Canopy Rope (Koukinjou) – A rope that expels the word-soul (kotodama, spirit word) of whomever it touches. The person’s most frequently said phrase represents the word-soul and is squeezed/tugged out.
