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: 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 etc.

Name: Shikotsumyaku: Extend
Rank: D
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range: 2 feet
Handseals: None
Speed: Immediate
Description: A single bone extends through the skin and can protrude up to 2 feet.  The user can use this bone as a spiked weapon, as a blade, or as anything else that resembles a long, narrow shape by applying minor alterations to the shape of the extended bone.  This is the most basic of Shikotsumyaku Taijutsu.

Name: Shikotsumyaku: Remove
Rank: D
Type: Taijutsu/Shikotsumyaku
Element: N/A
Range: N/A
Handseals: N/A
Speed: Immediate
Description: A bone extends past one of the joints of a user or from the end of a bone, often in the shape of a grip or handle.  The user pulls that out and removes the entire bone in their limb or whichever bone they decide (such as a rib.)  The user cannot remove the spine, skull, or pelvis with this technique.  The bone regrows after one post.

Name: Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets
Rank: C
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Range: Close-Mid (0-10m)
Speed: 50
Description: Hardened bones from the fingertips are shot at the enemy, with a spinning motion added to the skeletal bullets. A direct hit will excavate skin, flesh, and bone. Since the bones of the user can be regenerated, the rate of fire from the user's arsenal is limitless. This technique is essential to Kimimaro for his long distance attacks.

Name: Dance of the Willow
Rank: C
Type: Taijutsu
Element: None
Range: Close (bone can extend up to two feet from the body)
Description: The first of Kimimaro's five dances. To perform this dance, Kimimaro grows several long bone blades from his body for use as weapons. There isn't any set form for the Dance of the Willow. Just like a willow that is shaken by the wind, the opponents attacks are simply parried and countered. Uncharacteristic of a willow, the hardened bones puncture and damage the opponents body. Though he primarily uses two blades grown from the palms of his hands, he also uses several secondary bones grown from his elbows, knees, and shoulders. This dance form is incredibly acrobatic, using spins, charges, and long sweeping slashes to make the strikes more effective and to evade opponents' counter strikes. Kimimaro can also extend his bones to attack his opponents without having to adjust his own movement.

Name: Dance of the Camellia
Rank: C
Type: Taijutsu
Element: None
Range: Close
Description: The second of Kimimaro's five dances, which he performs by modifying one of his upper arm bones to create a short, bone-hilted bone sword. He then stabs chaotically and continuously which causes the opponents eyes to lag behind. The speed resembles afterimages, the hand with the sword is again and again visibly projected. And yet the movement is irregular which makes it difficult to predict. With each thrust the sword's track is very capable of changing. The attack comes from unexpected angles, causing a person's delicate defence reaction to come off guard. Though one can have great reflexes and moving ability, it is next to impossible to keep dodging the fierce attack until it stops. Thus if one showed an opening, a finishing blow will be dealt by one stab in an instant.

Name: Shikotsumyaku: Erupt
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu/Kekkei Genkai
Element: N/A
Range: 20 meters
Handseals: Snake
Speed: Immediate
Description: Up to 5 bone pillars similar to those in Dance of the Seedling Fern erupt from the ground or inanimate surface within about 20 meters.  These bones have a pointed tip, may extend up to 5 meters long, may be up to 1 meter in diameter, may be circular or elliptic, and may incline in whichever direction the user indicates (unless the jutsu is already complete.)

Name: Shikotsumyaku: Burst
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu/Kekkei Genkai
Element: N/A
Range: 20 meters
Handseals: Snake
Speed: Immediate
Description: Any Shikotsumyaku bones created by the user within a 20 meter radius wil explode (only the ones the user chooses.) in the direction the user intends.  The shrapnel hurtle in this direction and can evacuate flesh and muscle on contact.  Each piece of shrapnel is about the size of a bullet.

Name: Dance of the Larch
Rank: B
Type: Taijutsu
Element: None
Range: Close
Description: The third of Kimimaro's five dances. From the body, several bones pop out all at once. The stronger the opponent's physical attack, the more powerful the counter attack is, dealing severe damage. The sudden defence, combined with the needle-like bones high killing ability, makes way for a technique which has great potential for battle. The bones can be used to block or trap an opponent's taijutsu strikes. In addition to being an unwelcome surprise for opponents, it makes him basically untouchable at close range. If an opponent would start to get close to him, he would begin to spin rapidly slashing the foe in multiple areas.

Name: Shikotsumyaku Clone
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu/Kekkei Genkai
Element: N/A
Range: 100 meters from the original
Handseals: Clone Seal
Speed: Identical to the original
Description: The user can create any number of clones as long as their chakra reserves allow for such. These clones are made of Shikotsumyaku bone, and have all skills, stats, and jutsu that the original has, in addition to the Kaguya Clan’s durability boost for bones since the clones are made of Shikotsumyaku bone. Initial chakra cost is not paid by normal means since the number of clones can vary, and, instead, the user allocates at least 20 of their own chakra into each clone to use for jutsu, and those clones then pay B-Rank upkeep each turn, including the turn in which they were created (this is the initial cost). If the user willingly destroys the clone or disperses it with their own jutsu, all chakra the clone has remaining is returned to the original, but if the clone is destroyed by the enemy, that chakra is gone forever.

Name: Jiton: Magnetize
Rank: E-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu/Kekkei Genkai
Element: Jiton
Range: Touching the user or their medium.
Handseals: N/A
Speed: Immediate
Description: The user magnetizes whatever object their or their medium is in contact with to be utilized in their techniques.  It can magnetize people for supplementary effects with other jutsu, but they cannot be rag-dolled and manipulated and such.

Name: Jiton: Push
Rank: D-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu/Kekkei Genkai
Element: Jiton
Range: 15 Meters
Handseals: Hand motions.
Speed: N/A
Description:  The user repels all magnetic or magnetized items away from another magnetic or magnetized item or themself.  It is just a quick burst used for defensive purposes equal to the user's strength. Other characters that are magnetized can be affected by this.

Name: Jiton: Maleate
Rank: N/A (Though all learning requirements abide by C-Rank)
Type: Ninjutsu/Kekkei Genkai
Element: Jiton
Range: 70 meters
Handseals: None, but guided by hand motions
Speed: Equal to that of the user
Description: This is the basic technique used by Jiton.  It has no rank because it requires different amount of chakra and has different levels of difficulty depending on the amount of the medium being manipulated.  The user utilizes the magnetic field created by their Jiton Kekkei Genkai to manipulate the medium through which they use their Jiton Kekkei Genkai.  It is basic shape and position manipulation, which means the user can move it around and change the basic shape of the medium into basic constructs, but nothing as defined as if it utilized a specific technique designed to do so.  (To avoid this being a catch-all for the Jiton element.)  It is also simply not as powerful as other specialized techniques.  The user manipulates the medium at speed and strength equal to their own.  To manipulate 0-1 units of the medium, the user uses D-Rank upkeep, to manipulate 1-2 units, the user uses C-Rank upkeep, 2-3 uses B-Rank, 3-4 uses A-Rank, and 4-5 uses S-Rank.

Name: Jiton: Grind
Rank: C-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu/Kekkei Genkai
Element: Jiton
Range: 20 meters (underground)
Handseals: N/A
Speed: N/A
Description: The user feeds their Jiton medium into the ground to grind up soil, rock, and gravel into sand, and magnetizes it.  This sand can then be used to either do the same, or be utilized in the user's Jiton jutsu.  The user can produce sand at a rate equal to the amount being used to grind per post.

Name: Jiton: Pull
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Ninjutsu/Kekkei Genkai
Element: Jiton
Range: 30 meters
Handseals: Hand motions.
Speed: User's own speed.
Description:  The user has all magnetic or magnetized items within 30 meters of another magnetic or magnetized item hurtle toward the latter item.  Think "Universal Pull" but to a lesser affect since there isn't that much magnetized/magnetic items usually. Characters other than the user cannot be pulled, but they can be used as a center for the pull. (So items can go toward them but I can't make them go toward an item.)
