than what he can at his level, which is D-Rank)

• You must have the Nature Affinity to learn a Jutsu with
such a requirement. (You cannot learn a Fire Release
Jutsu, if you only have Wind Affinity.)

You must commit a specified amount of Downtime
towards learning this jutsu. (This downtime does not
need to be at the same time.)

CREATING A JUTSU

When you want to train towards Creating a Jutsu you are
embarking on a journey that no one else has. The Jutsu
you may create may be a minor form of Medical ninjutsu,
or it may be an all-powerful multi–Elemental Jutsu.
Either way this is a much more difficult and involved
process than Learning a Jutsu. As a Jutsu creator, you
must not only create the Jutsu’s Effects, but you must
decide how much power it has, how much chakra it costs
and the requirements needed to even perform it. Do you
need the Visual prowess of the Sharingan to pull this
jutsu off? Do you need the Massive reserves of chakra
like an Uzumaki to use it? Do you only need to have
access to the Wind Affinity to use it? These are
considerations you must undertake to begin the process
of Jutsu Creation.

Either way, if you decide to Create a Jutsu, you must
follow the following Building Path to achieve such a
Goal. While Building your Jutsu, you will encounter
points where you have to select Keywords to add to the
Jutsu’s overall build. Certain Keywords will Increase or
Decrease the final chakra cost of the Jutsu, you add all of
the selected Keywords costs together to get the final
Chakra cost of your jutsu.

Non-Elemental Ninjutsu are ninjutsu that do not require Nature Release mastery or investment. These jutsu are more
focused on versatility and chakra manipulation and control, such as increasing your movement speed by pooling chakra to
the soles of your feet before taking off. Although a lot of these techniques are not as complicated as using a nature
