In the Naruto anime, there are endless powers the ninjas display that utilize incredible techniques. From basic jutsu to powerful genjutsu, the shinobi in this anime create the coolest collection of abilities.
While there are dozens of amazing and fascinating jutsu in the anime, certain abilities are among the coolest for their unique and extraordinary quality. Most of these jutsu are more powerful than the slew of techniques seen in the show, but some of them are simply cool because of their overt distinctiveness from others.
Summoning Jutsu
The Summoning Jutsu is utilized by many characters throughout the series, friend and foe. While there are dozens of ninjas that summon creatures using this technique, some notable ones are Jiraiya and Naruto summoning toads, Orochimaru summoning snakes, and Sasuke summoning snakes and hawks.
While this is a lower-level jutsu, its nature is quite interesting. When the summons an animal, they must first create a contract to transport it to assist in a fight. Orochimaru has his contract tattooed onto his arms and uses blood to activate it.
Chidori
The Chidori is a technique in which the concentrates a high level of lightning chakra around their hand. Kakashi created the jutsu and then taught it to Sasuke.
It was always Sasuke's goal to become strong enough to kill his older brother and avenge his clan, though Itachi's death ends up being one of the saddest in the show, and this skill is an impressive advantage to Sasuke continuing to enhance his powers. By the end of the show, Sasuke and Kakashi are able to wield the Chidori more often.
Creation Rebirth
The Creation Rebirth jutsu is Lady Tsunade's ultimate technique. This power allows the to heal any wounds nearly instantly, and later in the show, Sakura is able to learn and utilize the Creation Rebirth technique.
This is one of the most extraordinary jutsu in the show because not just any ninja can learn the technique. This jutsu requires the ninja utilizing it to have absolute control, being able to store chakra into a single source over a long period of time.
Limbo
This alternate form of a shadow clone jutsu is mastered and performed by Madara Uchiha. This jutsu allowed Madara to create a clone in limbo, a world that coexists with the world.
This limbo jutsu is useful for defense and offense. Madara is able to use these invisible shadow clones in limbo to assault his enemies and also defend himself when he is under attack. This power seems effective against most opponents until Naruto and Sasuke are able to use their own advanced jutsu to sense and damage Madara's clones.
Eight Gates Formation
Eight Gates is a reference to the eight chakra points that flow within a ninja and allow them to utilize their powers. There are several jutsu throughout the series that reference the use of the Eight Gates.
An Eight Gates technique is first introduced in Naruto when Rock Lee uses the gates technique in a battle against Gaara. During Might Guy's standoff with Madara Uchiha, Guy uses Eight Gates: Gate of Death to manipulate his physical power to an extreme measure, nearly defeating Madara until the technique takes a critical toll on his body.
Reanimation Jutsu
The Reanimation Jutsu, also known as Edo Tensei, is an overtly powerful summoning jutsu used to resurrect the dead. This forbidden jutsu is first used by Tobirama Senju and is used in the series by Orochimaru and Kazuma.
Orochimaru uses this powerful jutsu to resurrect the first four Hokage from the dead. Kazuma later uses his Ultimate Resurrection Jutsu to resurrect fallen shinobi and wage war upon the five shinobi nations at once. This is one of the most powerful jutsu portrayed in the whole series, and the only ways to stop the revived are by sealing them away or stopping (or controlling) the ninja controlling them.
Reaper Death Seal
This jutsu is unique to all the others because it is guaranteed to consume the once the jutsu is complete. With the Reaper Death Seal, the ninja summons a Shinigami to seal their opponent's soul away.
The Third and Fourth Hokage both use this jutsu in order to protect their village. Minato uses the technique to seal the nine-tail's chakra inside his infant son. Hiruzen uses the technique to seal the part of Orochimaru's soul that resides in his arms, rendering them unable to be used and forcing him to rely on jutsu he could only use without hand signs.
Shinra Tensei
The Shinra Tensei is a powerful technique that allows the to push matter or assaults from other ninjas away. It is originally used by Nagato but is more notably used by Pain during their assault on the Hidden Leaf Village.
It was used on a massive scale by Pain during his Deva Path of Six Paths to destroy the Leaf Village entirely. He also utilizes the technique on a smaller scale when he is in a fight with Naruto to deflect many of his Rasenshuriken. Though many Naruto fans' opinion is the desecration of the Leaf Village should not have been reversed after the Shinra Tensei destroyed it, this event was crucial in the overall storyline of the series.
Tailed Beast Ball
The Tailed Beast Ball, which is made quite obvious in the name, is a technique the tailed creatures use as an ultimate technique. While one of the biggest shocks in Naruto was discovering there were multiple beasts like Kurama (the beast that lived inside Naruto since infancy), the beasts' abilities are not a let down in comparison.
The Tailed Beast Ball is a powerful chakra ball that is expelled from the beast's mouth at an incredible speed, causing immense damage. The technique is so precise, with specific levels of black and white chakra, that Naruto is unable to wield it without Kurama's assistance.
Infinite Tsukuyomi
This powerful genjutsu, Tsukuyomi, is wielded by those that have the Rinne Sharingan. The reflects their Rinne Sharingan off the moon, trapping those who witness it and making them immobile, allowing the God Tree's roots to slowly drain their life.
Three people within the Naruto universe are known to wield this genjutsu: Kaguya Otsutsuki, Madara Uchiha, and Obito Uchiha. During the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Obito uses this technique to trap the world in an illusion of dreams that he intends to use to save the world from being destroyed by humankind.
