Ninjutsu, is the most commonly used form of fighting throughout Naruto-RP. There are five core styles: Futon, Katon, Suiton, Doton and Raiton. (Otherwise known as: Wind release, Fire release, Water release, Earth release and finally lightning release). All ninjutsu are formed by the user making hand signs, allowing the user to channel their chakra into that certain jutsu. During a ninjutsu, there will usually be a nature transformation or a shape transformation.
Shape transformation: Controls the form, potency and movement of the chakra.
Nature Transformation: Is changing the physical properties of chakra into an element.

Genjutsu, is the use of illusions and does not attack the physical body like ninjutsu or taijutsu does, however in most cases genjutsu does require the use of hand seals/signs and chakra. A genjutsu's illusions manipulate the flow of chakra through a persons brain, causing a disruption in their senses, and more often than not, resulting in the death of a person under a genjutsu. There are other ways for a genjutsu to work, such as via a dojutsu, like the Uchiha's sharingan.

Taijutsu, is the most physical style of fighting in Naruto-RP and is also difficult to master. It requires no hand seals to perform, only requiring a persons energy and stamina. It does not typically require chakra, although chakra can be used to enhance one's taijutsu attacks. It is ultimately hand to hand combat, often requiring a user to be faster than their opponent.
