First Performed by: Akado Yoroi
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 67
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja must make direct physical contact with their opponent, at which point they begin to drain their chakra and physical energy through the palm of their hand. The energy does not appear to be absorbed, merely drained.
Sabaku Kyuu (Desert Coffin)
First Performed by: Gaara of the Desert
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 55
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja controls sand with their chakra to completely engulf their opponent, making a full body cast around them, suffocating them, or simply immobilizing them. It is usually followed by the Sabaku Sousou (Desert Graveyard). This technique is exclusive to Gaara.
Sabaku Sousou (Desert Graveyard)
First Performed by: Gaara of the Desert
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 59
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja controls sand with their chakra to wrap around one part, or many parts, of their opponent's body. They then constrict the sand to either completely crush their opponent's body, or to crush any part engulfed in sand. This technique is exclusive to Gaara.
Saisei no Saibou (Cell Regeneration)
First Performed by: Kabuto
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 168
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja focuses all of their chakra into one part of their body just before an attack. The moment that attack connects, the chakra activates the natural regeneration of the body's cellular makeup, repairing the damage done by an attack the moment after it is done. An extremely powerful jutsu, it uses almost all of the ninja's chakra.
Sakujouhea (Hair Rope)
First Performed by: Yamanaka Ino
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 72
A Ninjutsu technique requiring quite a lot of hair to be scattered around the opponent's feet, under the guise of the ninja snapping mentally. Showing no apparent danger, the opponent should not suspect the hair as a weapon. But placing their hands on the path of hair in front of them, the ninja using this technique can make a powerful rope of hair by channeling their chakra through it, limiting the opponent's movement to simply pivoting in place. This sets them up for a more devastating attack, like the Shintenshin no Jutsu (Mind Body Switch Technique).
San no Hoshi (Third Star)
First Performed by: Temari
Type of Technique: TaiJutsu
Chapter: 73
A continuation of the Ichi no Hoshi and Ni no Hoshi (First Star and Second Star), and the final stage of this Taijutsu technique. In this stage, the third and final dot is show, unfolding the full fan. It is then swung, creating a massive, incredibly powerful gust of wind able to deflect any projectile weapons. And at this point, it also sets the fan up to use the Kamaitachi (Slashing Wind).
First performed by Temari in episode forty-three of the anime, presumably chapter seventy-three of the manga during her fight with Tenten. It is first truly seen in chapter one hundred and six.
Satsugaite no Jutsu (Killing Hands Technique)
First Performed by: Tsunade
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 163
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja focuses chakra into the palms of their hands, creating a small ball of killing chakra, which is the complete opposite of the Chiyute no Jutsu (Healing Hands Technique). Through concentrating their chakra in a manner opposing the Chiyute, instead of rebuilding and restoring another person's cells, this jutsu intends to destroy and unravel another person's cells.
Senei Jashuu (Shadow Snake Hand)
First Performed by: Mitarashi Anko
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 50
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja, apparently, uses a variation of Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique) to summon a number of snakes within their sleeve, which spring out and surprise the enemy, attacking or grappling them to give the ninja the advantage. The snakes can also entirely leave the sleeve of the ninja to wrap around and disarm their opponent. First performed by Mitarashi Anko in chapter fifty. It's assumed that Orochimaru taught it to her when he was her sensei as he uses it in chapter one hundred and twenty-three.
Sensatsu Suishou (Flying Water Needles)
First Performed by: Haku
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 24
An advanced bloodline technique, this Ninjutsu technique requires water in the immediate area. The ninja manipulates the water around them into as many needles as fits its volume, levitating them with their chakra, surrounding their opponent. Once assembled, the needles converge all at once on their target. First performed by Haku in chapter twenty-four. This technique is an advanced bloodline technique that only he, and others from his unnamed clan, can use.
Sharingan (Copy Wheel Eyes)
First Performed by: Hatake Kakashi
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 12
An advanced bloodline technique belonging to Konoha's Uchiha Clan. The Sharingan grants its bearer utter immunity to most Genjutsu, and the ability to copy Ninjutsu, and follow Taijutsu. It is said that the Sharingan can find its roots in the Byakugan (White Eyes), though unlike the Byakugan, which is apparent in all members of the Hyuuga Clan (though stronger in others), only a select few of the Uchiha Clan receive the Sharingan.
First, Genjutsu. Such techniques will not work against the Sharingan, but rather, appear as flames before their eyes. On top of being able to see through the illusions Genjutsu techniques cast, they allow one to use advanced hypnosis on an enemy. By locking eyes with them, they are able to use mental suggestion through Genjutsu, causing their opponent to follow invisible commands and play into the Sharingan bearer's hands.
Next, Ninjutsu. Not only does the Sharingan allow one to see past their opponent's jutsu, understanding the technique almost immediately, but the eyes will follow the hand and body movements of the enemy and copy their technique instantly. When used in conjunction with the Sharingan's hypnotic abilities, the bearer can even steal the enemy's technique before they use it themselves. Of course, there are limitations to this. If the technique being used is a high level Ninjutsu, it can only be properly copied if the bearer has the chakra and stamina needed to complete the jutsu. Also, it cannot copy advanced bloodline techniques. It can watch them and dissect them in combat, but it cannot copy them.
Finally, Taijutsu. The Sharingan can watch and copy the movements of an enemy, breaking down their Taijutsu style and furthering their ability to form a means of attack with a counter style. On top of that, as with Ninjutsu, the Sharingan can copy an opponent's Taijutsu techniques by copying their body movements and mimicking them. But again, there are limitations to this. If the bearer's body is not trained well enough, they cannot perform the copied technique with the strength and speed of their opponent.
There are four tiers of the Sharingan that have been seen thus far. The first level of the Sharingan shows the bearer with one tear in their right eye and two in their left eye. At this stage, the eyes have only been seen to follow Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, not copy them. The second level of the Sharingan shows the bearer with two tears in both eyes and is known to be able to follow Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, copy techniques, and see through the illusions cast by Genjutsu. The third level of the Sharingan shows the bearer with three tears in both eyes, and on top of following and copying Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, and seeing through Genjutsu, this level is the only level know to be able to utilize hypnosis.
The fourth and final tier of the Sharingan is the Mangekyou Sharingan (Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eyes), the complete and total mastery of the Sharingan's powers. In addition to all of the previously mentioned abilities this level grants, it also gives the bearer a much more advanced level of Genjutsu skills, allowing them to use a technique known as the Tsukiyomi (Grasping Moon). With this, once eye contact is made, the bearer can implant the idea of anything into the mind of their opponent, effectively breaking their will and spirit, scarring their mind, and reducing them to an immobile state of primal terror. Only the strongest minds could withstand such mental brutality, and only another Sharingan user from the Uchiha Clan can defend against it.
The Sharingan is first seen in chapter twelve, used by Hatake Kakashi. Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi can also use it. Only members of the Uchiha Clan are privilege to this ability. Kakashi is a special case.
Shihou Hapou Shuriken no Maki (Cyclone of Shuriken from Every Direction)
First Performed by: Uzumaki Naruto
Type of Technique: TaiJutsu
Chapter: 134
A Taijutsu technique where the ninja creates a quantity of Kage Bunshin (shadow clones). They collectively leap into the air and simultaneously hurl a multitude of shuriken and kunai at their opponent, raining steel upon them. A taxing maneuver as one must have a lot of chakra and stamina to produce enough clones to make this move effective.
Shikakyu no Jutsu (Quadruped Technique)
First Performed by: Inuzuka Kiba
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 75
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja takes on the physical characteristics of a beast, such as longer claw-like fingernails and fang-like canine teeth. Their senses of smell and hearing increase, and their strength and speed become augmented. This technique is exclusive to the Inuzuka clan.
Shikifuujin (Dead Demon Imprisonment)
First Performed by: Sandaime
Type of Technique: FuuinJutsu
Chapter: 122
Fuuinjutsu (sealing technique) which is a variation of the Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique). Unlike the normal Kuchiyose, this summoning does not require a sacrifice of blood, as it is Shinigami, the god of death, that is being summoned, and the minute he becomes manifest in this world, he takes the soul of the ninja who summoned him. In this manner, whether the ninja succeeds in battle or not, they will die.
The ninja performs the hand seals snake, pig, ram, rabbit, dog, rat, bird, horse, and snake. After this, Shinigami appears behind them with their soul already in his clutches. Only ninjas who have signed a contract with Shinigami can actually see him, though, unless their enemy, while caught in the following technique, is close enough to death that they will actually be able to see the god of death them self. While he is in this world, he is under the temporary, confined control of the summoning ninja. Using their own body as a conduit, the god will wrap his beads around his arm and form the seals for this jutsu upon his hand and forearm, and then reach through the ninja and grab hold of their enemy's soul. The enemy must be firmly held down by the ninja, so as not to break the seal early. At this point, it is the summoning ninja's responsibility to help tear the soul of their enemy from their body, despite the fact that the act of plunging his arm through the ninja's soul has physically damaged the ninja them self. If they run out of chakra at this point, they will die a useless death while their enemy is freed from Shinigami's grasp.
However, with the use of Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique), the ninja can attack multiple enemies, having Shinigami steal their souls at the cost of the chakra used to create a shadow clone. The ninja will still die as payment to the god of death, but it is worth it to seal away two or more powerful enemies, so long as their stamina and chakra can endure. Of course, Shinigami is open to bargain, just as long as he gets a soul out of being summoned from his home. He took only the arms of Orochimaru's soul, restricting his use of jutsu, at the behest of Sandaime. And it's entirely possible that he sealed the Kyubi inside of Naruto in this same manner, as this is the same technique used by Yondaime to fight the dreaded youma.
The use of this Kuchiyose creates a seal on the caster's body, which is why this technique is a Fuuinjutsu. The seal, which consists of eight parts in a circle around the caster's chest (or possibly, the point of entry through which Shinigami's hand reaches), with a counter-clockwise spiral in the middle of them, is kind of like the seal Naruto has on his stomach, except that his seal consists of two four-part seals and a clockwise spiral, and it acts as a trap through which the captured soul can leak chakra. The eight-part seal binds the ninja's enemy's soul to their own, so that when Shinigami takes the caster's soul, he takes along any souls sealed to them with him. It is said that the ninja's soul and their enemy's soul will forever remain in the belly of Shinigami, never gaining release, and battling for eternity.
First performed by Sandaime in chapter one hundred and twenty-two. The only other person said to be able to use it was Yondaime.
Shikokumujin (Four Seals of the Dark Mist)
First Performed by: Sakon, Kidoumaru, Jiroubou, and Tayuya
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 184
A barrier Ninjutsu technique. This barrier creates a permanent lid to seal an open barrel, in which is placed a ninja with the Juin (curse seal) that Orochimaru bestows upon his minions. Inside the barrel, the ninja is left in a comatose state, after taking the Seishingan (the pills that induce the push to the second level of the Juin) as the second level of the curse seal begins to take effect.
The technique requires four ninjas fluent with barrier Ninjutsu to stand in a circle around the barrel, focusing their chakra until a dark, swirling mist appears. The mist circles the barrel from above and then closes down upon it, solidifying into the lid.
Shikon no Jutsu (Dead Soul Technique)
First Performed by: Yakushi Kabuto
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 89
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja uses their chakra to temporarily bring life back into the hearts of the deceased, creating the illusion that they are still alive while controlling their bodies like puppets. An excellent jutsu when used as a distraction, and with the proper skills, it can make for an incredible escape plan. Yakushi Kabuto is the only character seen performing this technique.
Shinranshin no Jutsu (Body Traitor Technique)
First Performed by: Yamanaka Inoshin
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 137
A Ninjutsu technique, which is a variation of the Shintenshin no Jutsu (Mind Body Switch Technique). The ninja creates a hand seal to focus, much like the hand seal created to focus the projection of the spirit in the Shintenshin no Jutsu. But instead of projecting their spirit, the ninja uses their mind to control the body of their target. This allows them to break the connection in an instant and resume normal combat, unlike the long period of time it takes to use and recover from the Mind Body Switch. The target's mind is still their own, so they realize what they are doing when the ninja controls them. This technique is exclusive to the Yamanaka clan.
Shintenshin no Jutsu (Mind Body Switch Technique)
First Performed by: Yamanaka Ino
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 42
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja creates a hand seal to focus on an enemy. Through this seal, the ninja's spirit enters into their opponent's body for a brief time (about two to three minutes). But in that time, they are in complete control of the enemy's body. Unfortunately, any damage sustained to the body will be reflected in the body of the ninja, deeming this skill as either a spying tactic or a suicide technique. However, if the target's will is strong enough, the jutsu won't last for long. During this attack, however, the ninja's spirit moves very slowly towards their opponent. And if they miss their mark, their body becomes temporarily incapacitated until their spirit returns to it. This technique is exclusive to the Yamanaka clan.
Shishienjin (Four Man Purple Flame Wall)
First Performed by: Sakon, Tayuya, Kidoumaru, and Jiroubou
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 115
A barrier Ninjutsu technique where four ninjas place themselves far apart in a square alignment and focus their chakra into a large purple wall of fire. This wall is a solid cube and cannot be penetrated so long as it stands. Anyone who attempts to break through the barrier is lit aflame. Useful for sectoring off areas during a mission as to be able to complete a much more complicated, powerful technique, or to separate battles. So long as all four remain in concentration, the wall will not falter. But if even one of them were to be attacked while performing this, the wall will recede.
Shishi Rendan (Lion Combo)
First Performed by: Uchiha Sasuke
Type of Technique: TaiJutsu
Chapter: 68
A Taijutsu technique following the Kage Konoha Buyou (Shadow Leaf Dance), putting both the ninja and their opponent in the air, giving the attacking ninja the advantage. Four separate blows are delivered: a roundhouse kick, followed by a powerful backhand blow, followed by a driving blow to propel them towards the ground faster, and finishing with a hard-hitting axe kick into the ground, reinforcing the blow.
Shougekishou (Rising Impact Palm)
First Performed by: Jiroubou
Type of Technique: TaiJutsu
Chapter: 190
A Taijutsu technique where the ninja lifts up their opponent with one arm, retracts, and then drives their palm upward into their opponent, hurling them into the air. With impressive strength, this technique could be quite devastating.
Shouhekifuu (Barrier Seal)
First Performed by: Sakon, Kidoumaru, Jiroubou, and Tayuya
Type of Technique: TaiJutsu
Chapter: 185
A Ninjutsu technique incorporating the Bakuretsufuu (Exploding Seals). The ninja sets four or more exploding seals in a formation around a certain area so that if an enemy ninja enters the set proximity of these seals, all of them will be detonated at once, ensuring that the enemy cannot escape death from any angle.
Shounutssu (Knee Strike)
First Performed by: Jiroubou
Type of Technique: TaiJutsu
Chapter: 188
A Taijutsu technique where the ninja braces against the ground and drives a powerful knee into their enemy, hurling them away. With impressive strength, this technique can be devastating.
Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique)
First Performed by: Sandaime
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 117
Like the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique), this Ninjutsu technique requires a base from which to clone. Therefore, the ninja performing this throws a single shuriken at their enemy, and then performs the jutsu, creating one or many more shadow shuriken, which will then continue the path of the original shuriken. A devastating technique that is almost impossible to block or evade.
Shuushuku (Constriction)
First Performed by: Tsurugi Misumi
Type of Technique: TaiJutsu
Chapter: 70
A Taijutsu technique that requires that the ninja's body be altered so that it can become malleable upon command. The ninja wraps their arm around their enemy's arm, and then slithers their way up their body and around their neck, much like a snake. They retain their physical strength, so it is entirely possible for them to instantly break their opponent's neck once in this position.
Souja Sousai no Jutsu (Double Snake Assassination Technique)
First Performed by: Mitarashi Anko
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 50
A forbidden Ninjutsu technique (Kinjutsu) involving a joined hand seal between the ninja and their opponent. This hand seal deals instantaneous death to both the ninjas performing it, making this a suicide jutsu designed for a sure kill.
Souseki Fuuin (Genesis Seal)
First Performed by: Tsunade
Type of Technique: FuuinJutsu
Chapter: 149
A Fuuinjutsu (sealing technique) where the ninja has a small diamond seal placed upon their forehead. This seal collects the ninja's chakra, over time, and allows them to unseal it when needed and use the Souzousaisei (Genesis Rebirth) technique, an extremely powerful healing jutsu.
Soushouryu (Rising Twin Dragons)
First Performed by: Tenten
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: N/A Episode: 43
A Ninjutsu technique involving the Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique) and some strong Taijutsu. The ninja places two scrolls at either side of them and performs a series of hand seals, sending both scrolls twisting into the sky as twin plums of smoke shaped like dragons. The ninja then leaps straight up through the center of the twisting scrolls as many weapons become summoned from the many seals upon them, which the user then attacks their opponent with. First performed by Tenten in episode forty-three of the anime. It has not been seen in the manga, yet, but seems sensible to have been used in chapter 73 in her fight against Temari.
Soutourou (Double-headed Wolf)
First Performed by: Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 203
A Ninjutsu technique that is a variation of the Juujin Bunshin. Instead of the ninja's dog taking the form of its master, the ninja and the dog use a Kontserun Henge no Jutsu (Combined Transformation Technique) to turn into a mammoth, double-headed wolf. This technique is then followed by the Garouga (Double Wolf Fang). This technique is exclusive to the Inuzuka clan.
Souzousaisei (Genesis Rebirth)
First Performed by: Tsunade
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 169
A Ninjutsu technique that only those with the Souseki Fuuin (Genesis Seal) can perform. By gathering chakra into their seal over a period of time, they can then use that gathered chakra by releasing the seal. The chakra accelerates the production of various enzymes in their body, causing almost instant cellular reformation, healing absolutely any mortal wound, including extensive damage to internal organs. However, the number of times cells can multiply is limited, so using this technique takes away from the total life span of the ninja using it.
Suirou no Jutsu (Water Prison Technique)
First Performed by: Momochi Zabuza
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 13
A Ninjutsu technique that controls the density of water, creating a heavy area of water that become a bubble-like prison that is inescapable so long as the user maintains their concentration.
Suitaihou (Water Cannonball)
First Performed by: Gamabunta
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 135
A Ninjutsu technique unique to Gamabunta. He focuses his chakra and summons water into his mouth, which he then drops like bombs upon his opponent while in mid-leap.
Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu (Water Type: Great Waterfall Technique)
First Performed by: Hatake Kakashi
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 15
A Suiton (water type) Ninjutsu technique using water as its base. The ninja manipulates the water around them into a cyclonic explosion that rips into its victim like a tsunami. It has enough force to tear apart solid ground and uproot trees. The technique actually belongs to Momochi Zabuza, but Kakashi stole it from him before he could even perform it.
Suiton: Suikoudan no Jutsu (Water Type: Water Shark Blast Technique)
First Performed by: Hoshigaki Kisame
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 141
A Suiton (water type) Ninjutsu technique where the ninja focuses their chakra through surrounding water and manipulates it into a swirling wall around them, and then directs it at their opponent in the shape of a monstrous shark made of water. First performed by Hoshigaki Kisame in chapter one hundred and forty-one, it is immediately copied by Hatake Kakashi.
Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu (Water Type: Water Dragon Blast Technique)
First Performed by: Momochi Zabuza and Hatake Kakashi
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 15
A Suiton (water type) Ninjutsu technique using water as its base. The ninja manipulates the water around them into the shape of a large dragon that attacks their opponent as a torrential blast. First performed by Momochi Zabuza and Hatake Kakashi, simultaneously, in chapter fifteen. It should be noted that Nidaime uses it in chapter one hundred and twenty, without surrounding water.
First Performed by: Akado Yoroi
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 67
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja must make direct physical contact with their opponent, at which point they begin to drain their chakra and physical energy through the palm of their hand. The energy does not appear to be absorbed, merely drained.

First Performed by: Kabuto
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 168

First Performed by: Temari
Type of Technique: TaiJutsu
Chapter: 73
A continuation of the Ichi no Hoshi and Ni no Hoshi (First Star and Second Star), and the final stage of this Taijutsu technique. In this stage, the third and final dot is show, unfolding the full fan. It is then swung, creating a massive, incredibly powerful gust of wind able to deflect any projectile weapons. And at this point, it also sets the fan up to use the Kamaitachi (Slashing Wind).
First performed by Temari in episode forty-three of the anime, presumably chapter seventy-three of the manga during her fight with Tenten. It is first truly seen in chapter one hundred and six.
Satsugaite no Jutsu (Killing Hands Technique)
First Performed by: Tsunade
Type of Technique: NinJutsu

First Performed by: Mitarashi Anko
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 50
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja, apparently, uses a variation of Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique) to summon a number of snakes within their sleeve, which spring out and surprise the enemy, attacking or grappling them to give the ninja the advantage.

Sharingan (Copy Wheel Eyes)
First Performed by: Hatake Kakashi
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 12

First Performed by: Sandaime
Type of Technique: FuuinJutsu
Chapter: 122
Fuuinjutsu (sealing technique) which is a variation of the Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique). Unlike the normal Kuchiyose, this summoning does not require a sacrifice of blood, as it is Shinigami, the god of death, that is being summoned, and the minute he becomes manifest in this world, he takes the soul of the ninja who summoned him. In this manner, whether the ninja succeeds in battle or not, they will die.
The ninja performs the hand seals snake, pig, ram, rabbit, dog, rat, bird, horse, and snake. After this, Shinigami appears behind them with their soul already in his clutches. Only ninjas who have signed a contract with Shinigami can actually see him, though, unless their enemy, while caught in the following technique, is close enough to death that they will actually be able to see the god of death them self. While he is in this world, he is under the temporary, confined control of the summoning ninja. Using their own body as a conduit, the god will wrap his beads around his arm and form the seals for this jutsu upon his hand and forearm, and then reach through the ninja and grab hold of their enemy's soul. The enemy must be firmly held down by the ninja, so as not to break the seal early. At this point, it is the summoning ninja's responsibility to help tear the soul of their enemy from their body, despite the fact that the act of plunging his arm through the ninja's soul has physically damaged the ninja them self. If they run out of chakra at this point, they will die a useless death while their enemy is freed from Shinigami's grasp.
However, with the use of Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique), the ninja can attack multiple enemies, having Shinigami steal their souls at the cost of the chakra used to create a shadow clone. The ninja will still die as payment to the god of death, but it is worth it to seal away two or more powerful enemies, so long as their stamina and chakra can endure. Of course, Shinigami is open to bargain, just as long as he gets a soul out of being summoned from his home. He took only the arms of Orochimaru's soul, restricting his use of jutsu, at the behest of Sandaime. And it's entirely possible that he sealed the Kyubi inside of Naruto in this same manner, as this is the same technique used by Yondaime to fight the dreaded youma.
The use of this Kuchiyose creates a seal on the caster's body, which is why this technique is a Fuuinjutsu. The seal, which consists of eight parts in a circle around the caster's chest (or possibly, the point of entry through which Shinigami's hand reaches), with a counter-clockwise spiral in the middle of them, is kind of like the seal Naruto has on his stomach, except that his seal consists of two four-part seals and a clockwise spiral, and it acts as a trap through which the captured soul can leak chakra. The eight-part seal binds the ninja's enemy's soul to their own, so that when Shinigami takes the caster's soul, he takes along any souls sealed to them with him. It is said that the ninja's soul and their enemy's soul will forever remain in the belly of Shinigami, never gaining release, and battling for eternity.
First performed by Sandaime in chapter one hundred and twenty-two. The only other person said to be able to use it was Yondaime.
Shikokumujin (Four Seals of the Dark Mist)
First Performed by: Sakon, Kidoumaru, Jiroubou, and Tayuya
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 184
A barrier Ninjutsu technique. This barrier creates a permanent lid to seal an open barrel, in which is placed a ninja with the Juin (curse seal) that Orochimaru bestows upon his minions. Inside the barrel, the ninja is left in a comatose state, after taking the Seishingan (the pills that induce the push to the second level of the Juin) as the second level of the curse seal begins to take effect.
The technique requires four ninjas fluent with barrier Ninjutsu to stand in a circle around the barrel, focusing their chakra until a dark, swirling mist appears. The mist circles the barrel from above and then closes down upon it, solidifying into the lid.
Shikon no Jutsu (Dead Soul Technique)
First Performed by: Yakushi Kabuto
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 89
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja uses their chakra to temporarily bring life back into the hearts of the deceased, creating the illusion that they are still alive while controlling their bodies like puppets. An excellent jutsu when used as a distraction, and with the proper skills, it can make for an incredible escape plan. Yakushi Kabuto is the only character seen performing this technique.
Shinranshin no Jutsu (Body Traitor Technique)
First Performed by: Yamanaka Inoshin
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 137
A Ninjutsu technique, which is a variation of the Shintenshin no Jutsu (Mind Body Switch Technique). The ninja creates a hand seal to focus, much like the hand seal created to focus the projection of the spirit in the Shintenshin no Jutsu. But instead of projecting their spirit, the ninja uses their mind to control the body of their target. This allows them to break the connection in an instant and resume normal combat, unlike the long period of time it takes to use and recover from the Mind Body Switch. The target's mind is still their own, so they realize what they are doing when the ninja controls them. This technique is exclusive to the Yamanaka clan.
Shintenshin no Jutsu (Mind Body Switch Technique)
First Performed by: Yamanaka Ino
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 42
A Ninjutsu technique where the ninja creates a hand seal to focus on an enemy. Through this seal, the ninja's spirit enters into their opponent's body for a brief time (about two to three minutes). But in that time, they are in complete control of the enemy's body. Unfortunately, any damage sustained to the body will be reflected in the body of the ninja, deeming this skill as either a spying tactic or a suicide technique. However, if the target's will is strong enough, the jutsu won't last for long. During this attack, however, the ninja's spirit moves very slowly towards their opponent. And if they miss their mark, their body becomes temporarily incapacitated until their spirit returns to it. This technique is exclusive to the Yamanaka clan.
Shishienjin (Four Man Purple Flame Wall)
First Performed by: Sakon, Tayuya, Kidoumaru, and Jiroubou
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 115
A barrier Ninjutsu technique where four ninjas place themselves far apart in a square alignment and focus their chakra into a large purple wall of fire. This wall is a solid cube and cannot be penetrated so long as it stands. Anyone who attempts to break through the barrier is lit aflame. Useful for sectoring off areas during a mission as to be able to complete a much more complicated, powerful technique, or to separate battles. So long as all four remain in concentration, the wall will not falter. But if even one of them were to be attacked while performing this, the wall will recede.
Shishi Rendan (Lion Combo)
First Performed by: Uchiha Sasuke
Type of Technique: TaiJutsu
Chapter: 68
A Taijutsu technique following the Kage Konoha Buyou (Shadow Leaf Dance), putting both the ninja and their opponent in the air, giving the attacking ninja the advantage. Four separate blows are delivered: a roundhouse kick, followed by a powerful backhand blow, followed by a driving blow to propel them towards the ground faster, and finishing with a hard-hitting axe kick into the ground, reinforcing the blow.
Shougekishou (Rising Impact Palm)
First Performed by: Jiroubou
Type of Technique: TaiJutsu
Chapter: 190
A Taijutsu technique where the ninja lifts up their opponent with one arm, retracts, and then drives their palm upward into their opponent, hurling them into the air. With impressive strength, this technique could be quite devastating.
Shouhekifuu (Barrier Seal)
First Performed by: Sakon, Kidoumaru, Jiroubou, and Tayuya
Type of Technique: TaiJutsu
Chapter: 185
A Ninjutsu technique incorporating the Bakuretsufuu (Exploding Seals). The ninja sets four or more exploding seals in a formation around a certain area so that if an enemy ninja enters the set proximity of these seals, all of them will be detonated at once, ensuring that the enemy cannot escape death from any angle.
Shounutssu (Knee Strike)
First Performed by: Jiroubou
Type of Technique: TaiJutsu
Chapter: 188
A Taijutsu technique where the ninja braces against the ground and drives a powerful knee into their enemy, hurling them away. With impressive strength, this technique can be devastating.
Shuriken Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique)
First Performed by: Sandaime
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 117
Like the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique), this Ninjutsu technique requires a base from which to clone. Therefore, the ninja performing this throws a single shuriken at their enemy, and then performs the jutsu, creating one or many more shadow shuriken, which will then continue the path of the original shuriken. A devastating technique that is almost impossible to block or evade.
Shuushuku (Constriction)
First Performed by: Tsurugi Misumi
Type of Technique: TaiJutsu
Chapter: 70
A Taijutsu technique that requires that the ninja's body be altered so that it can become malleable upon command. The ninja wraps their arm around their enemy's arm, and then slithers their way up their body and around their neck, much like a snake. They retain their physical strength, so it is entirely possible for them to instantly break their opponent's neck once in this position.
Souja Sousai no Jutsu (Double Snake Assassination Technique)
First Performed by: Mitarashi Anko
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 50
A forbidden Ninjutsu technique (Kinjutsu) involving a joined hand seal between the ninja and their opponent. This hand seal deals instantaneous death to both the ninjas performing it, making this a suicide jutsu designed for a sure kill.
Souseki Fuuin (Genesis Seal)
First Performed by: Tsunade
Type of Technique: FuuinJutsu
Chapter: 149
A Fuuinjutsu (sealing technique) where the ninja has a small diamond seal placed upon their forehead. This seal collects the ninja's chakra, over time, and allows them to unseal it when needed and use the Souzousaisei (Genesis Rebirth) technique, an extremely powerful healing jutsu.
Soushouryu (Rising Twin Dragons)
First Performed by: Tenten
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: N/A Episode: 43
A Ninjutsu technique involving the Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique) and some strong Taijutsu. The ninja places two scrolls at either side of them and performs a series of hand seals, sending both scrolls twisting into the sky as twin plums of smoke shaped like dragons. The ninja then leaps straight up through the center of the twisting scrolls as many weapons become summoned from the many seals upon them, which the user then attacks their opponent with. First performed by Tenten in episode forty-three of the anime. It has not been seen in the manga, yet, but seems sensible to have been used in chapter 73 in her fight against Temari.
Soutourou (Double-headed Wolf)
First Performed by: Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 203
A Ninjutsu technique that is a variation of the Juujin Bunshin. Instead of the ninja's dog taking the form of its master, the ninja and the dog use a Kontserun Henge no Jutsu (Combined Transformation Technique) to turn into a mammoth, double-headed wolf. This technique is then followed by the Garouga (Double Wolf Fang). This technique is exclusive to the Inuzuka clan.
Souzousaisei (Genesis Rebirth)
First Performed by: Tsunade
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 169
A Ninjutsu technique that only those with the Souseki Fuuin (Genesis Seal) can perform. By gathering chakra into their seal over a period of time, they can then use that gathered chakra by releasing the seal. The chakra accelerates the production of various enzymes in their body, causing almost instant cellular reformation, healing absolutely any mortal wound, including extensive damage to internal organs. However, the number of times cells can multiply is limited, so using this technique takes away from the total life span of the ninja using it.
Suirou no Jutsu (Water Prison Technique)
First Performed by: Momochi Zabuza
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 13
A Ninjutsu technique that controls the density of water, creating a heavy area of water that become a bubble-like prison that is inescapable so long as the user maintains their concentration.
Suitaihou (Water Cannonball)
First Performed by: Gamabunta
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 135
A Ninjutsu technique unique to Gamabunta. He focuses his chakra and summons water into his mouth, which he then drops like bombs upon his opponent while in mid-leap.
Suiton: Daibakufu no Jutsu (Water Type: Great Waterfall Technique)
First Performed by: Hatake Kakashi
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 15
A Suiton (water type) Ninjutsu technique using water as its base. The ninja manipulates the water around them into a cyclonic explosion that rips into its victim like a tsunami. It has enough force to tear apart solid ground and uproot trees. The technique actually belongs to Momochi Zabuza, but Kakashi stole it from him before he could even perform it.
Suiton: Suikoudan no Jutsu (Water Type: Water Shark Blast Technique)
First Performed by: Hoshigaki Kisame
Type of Technique: NinJutsu
Chapter: 141
A Suiton (water type) Ninjutsu technique where the ninja focuses their chakra through surrounding water and manipulates it into a swirling wall around them, and then directs it at their opponent in the shape of a monstrous shark made of water. First performed by Hoshigaki Kisame in chapter one hundred and forty-one, it is immediately copied by Hatake Kakashi.
Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu (Water Type: Water Dragon Blast Technique)
First Performed by: Momochi Zabuza and Hatake Kakashi
Type of Technique: NinJutsu

A Suiton (water type) Ninjutsu technique using water as its base. The ninja manipulates the water around them into the shape of a large dragon that attacks their opponent as a torrential blast. First performed by Momochi Zabuza and Hatake Kakashi, simultaneously, in chapter fifteen. It should be noted that Nidaime uses it in chapter one hundred and twenty, without surrounding water.
