do not post in this thread unless you are me, gaara, sensei adachi or basedgod.

[★Gaara]

Gotta love when newbies come onto base and post in every thread trying to build post count. There should be a auto message when you join base that suggests playing in forum games for post count.

[Adachi]

Alright, I'd like to know why you both want to learn Ninjutsu.

There are a few reason I want to learn Ninjutsu. The main being it is the basis of a Ninja. Ninjutsu takes in to part all the things a shinobi needs, his skillset. One cannot be a great shinobi without having great ninjutsu skills (unless you're Naruto). Another is that in order to become the Suiton master I intend, I need to complete ninjutsu. Ninjutsu is needed to master an element because it teaches you how to make clones out of that element (i think) and other stoof.

[★Gaara]

My goal is to be a great shinobi. One of a shinobi's most valuable assets is his use of ninjutsu. With proper ninjutsu training I'll have a better understanding of how to use my elements to their fullest potential, use weapons with a better skill level, an even be able to avoid attacks or keep myself hidden from my enemies who wish to do me harm.

Your answers are very similar, as you both acknowledge Ninjutsu as more of a foundation, and you are somewhat correct. With the introduction of this type of Ninjutsu, it is a basic term that also contains the basic five in it, but what you must keep in mind that this Ninjutsu is about the manipulation of pure chakra. Such an example of this would be what you said, such as cloning and summoning contracts. It is the fundamental, whereas you focus on manipulating raw chakra in conjunction with Ninja Tools, which I feel is very much underestimated these days. So, I want to talk about Ninja Tools a bit, if you don't mind. Generally, there are no restrictions regarding Ninja Tools, so use them as much and as creatively as possible.
Starting with the kunai, what do you know of them?

[★Gaara]

Kunai are the most commonly used ninja tool next to shurikens. They can be used for many reason such as: Throwing at enemies. To attach strings an set trip wire traps. Attach explosive tags to. They are also used as daggers for close range physical combat. A lot of ninja incorporate their elemental affinity into the weapon by covering it in the chakra type for many reason such as: extra damage like fire, increased sharpness with wind nature as well as increased penetration power.

[★Afro Kun]

Kunai is a basic yet very important tool. It has many uses such as cutting or killing. It can be thrown or used as a handheld weapon. It can also be used in conjunction with something like wire, used for binding an opponent. It can also be infused with elements, making it more powerful.

[Adachi]

Very basic answers from both of you. Kunais are offensive weapons that allow for physical contact of the body, as you stated. However, they can also be defensive, and can block simple taijutsu or other direct attacks, hand in hand combat. Wind, as SandCoffin states, is most often used for the elemental combinations, but yes, they can be combined with a variety of moves.

Furthermore, by releasing a full wave of kunais at someone, it distracts their vision of sight, as they will be focused on what is before them. Within a battle, it is important to know where your opponents focus will be. By using flashy moves, you can get them to stare upon that only while you cook up another move that can flank them from the back. Naturally, by using this jutsu, their attention would be focused on the kunais, so keep this in mind the next time you battle. It is a good distraction, so use it to the best of your ability.

Now, what do you both know of Shurikens?

[★Afro Kun]

There are different types of shuriken, Windmill (collapsible) and a giant one, and ofc the basic ninja ones. They have 4 points normally and shaped kind of like a star. They too can be used in multiple ways. Whether marking positions or attacking an opponent or even deflecting their ninja tools. Like kunai they can be atatcked to wire for multiple purposes and charged with chakra to become mo' powerful.

[★Gaara]

Shurikens or throwing stars are the second most commonly used ninja tool, generally used for throwing, and sometimes stabbing or slashing. They are sharpened hand-held blades made from a variety of everyday items, such as needles, nails, and knives, as well as coins, washers, and other flat plates of metal. Shurikens are mainly a supplemental weapon to the more-commonly-used sword or other various weapons in a samurai/shinobi's arsenal, though they often play a pivotal tactical role in battle.
