Top Ten Forbidden Jutsu in the Naruto verse
22nd of January 2022
Throughout the Naruto verse, we've come across a variety of Jutsu from Naruto's Rasengan to Shikamaru's shadow possession Jutsu. These Jutsu are great in all but are far from the strongest. The strongest Jutsu’s have been reserved or probably sealed away due to how dangerous they are. From the Re-animation Jutsu to the Edo Tensei and so on. At this point, we the audience may even know more Jutsus than Orochimaru, and that's why I’ve decided to and rank the top 10 forbidden Jutsu throughout Naruto verse.
10. The Twin Snake Sacrifice Jutsu (Sōjasōsai no Jutsu)
Passed on to Anko Mitarashi from her dear teacher Orochimaru, this Jutsu is performed by forcing the targeted individual to assist in completing a set of hand signs. Once done the summoned twin snakes will bite both the target and the Jutsu caster, sending both to the great beyond.
You’re probably wondering why it is ranked so low on this list. You see, this Jutsu has a huge glaring hole in it that can be manipulated by the target. The caster can be easily tricked into taking their own life if the target is a shadow clone. It's such a small detail to overlook in the heat of battle.
9. Earth Grudge Fear Technique
If you need a little bit of surgery, then you’d probably need the Earth Grudge fear Technique hailing from the hidden waterfall village. Primarily used and stolen by Akatsuki member Kakuzu, this Jutsu practically makes the guy immortal. Manipulating black thread Kakuzu can sew up any injury he may suffer including reattaching limbs, nerves, and muscles. Let's say those get destroyed though, never fear because he can also send that daunting black thread through his opponents and steal any organ and the chakra that comes with it as he pleases.
For example, Kakuzu has four additional hearts that he stole from powerful shinobi and has access to all five elemental releases. As a result, these hearts can be detached to become individual bodies, can be switched out for his own heart if destroyed, and Kakuzu will keep on kicking until all those hearts are gone.
8. Living Corpse Reanimation Jutsu (Fushi Tensei)
One character who is never going to leave the Naruto verse is Orochimaru due to his infamous living corpse reanimation Jutsu. With this Jutsu, the user or in this case Orochimaru immortalizes his mind, and once every three years can transfer his mind and soul to a new stronger host. However, the process isn't as simple as the Yamanaka clan's mind transfer Jutsu, it is very disturbing.
Orochimaru reveals his true form- a giant snake composed of smaller snakes, swallows his target whole and then takes the mind of his victim. Secondly the poor soul he targets stays alive subdued and trapped forever until Orochimaru decides it's time to shed his skin. After taking a body, Orochimaru morphs it to fit his figure and modifies it to use his snake-like abilities to increase his survival. This includes abilities such as stretching and bending his body, reattaching limbs and more.
7. Strength of a Hundred Technique (Byakugō no Jutsu)
Decreed by the fifth Hokage herself, every medical ninja must follow three rules which prohibits their direct involvement in any conflict. However, this decree has one loophole, and that is to become masters of the strength of a hundred technique. Signified by the full body markings released by the strength of a hundred seal, this forbidden Jutsu gives the user the ability to heal any injury instantly continuously and automatically without the use of hand signs or effort as long as the user has chakra.
It is actually a very powerful technique, for instance Lady Tsunade wounds were instantly healed after being impaled by a giant sword from Madara's Susanoo. If she can heal from that, you can heal from anything.
At this point lady Tsunade and Sakura are the only masters of this formidable Jutsu.
6. Rasen-shuriken
Created by Naruto Uzumaki, the Rasen-shuriken is a destructive Jutsu that hits its target on a cellular level upon impact. The Jutsu bursts into a vortex of wind creating countless microscopic blades which pierce every cell in the body. It can disconnect the target from their chakra network to a point that can't be healed by medical ninjutsu.
According to gram Tsunade, if the damage is great enough the individual may never be able to use Jutsu again. It was even dangerous for Naruto to use as every time he did, he severely damaged his arm and nearly cut off his own chakra network. However, that all changed when he mastered Sage mode. Paired with Senjutsu, the Rasen-shuriken became the throwable and nearly undodgeable weapon we've grown to love and there is plenty more he can do with it too.
By imbuing the Jutsu with tailed beast chakra, Naruto can create the super tailed beast Rasen-shuriken, get hit by that and you've got a lot more to worry about than your chakra networks.
5. Izanami
If you had a second chance at life in exchange for your eyesight, would you take it? This is a question many Uchiha’s have asked as they use the forbidden Izanagi visual Jutsu. This Jutsu is practically the ultimate Uno reverse card as it can turn illusion into reality, it can change yours and others fate, it can bring you back to life. Unfortunately, this Jutsu was abused by the Uchiha clan throughout their years of conflict so a second visual Jutsu was developed as a counter called Izanami.
This genjutsu traps the target in an infinite unalterable loop that can't be broken. Built around physical sensations, the target will feel pain, sorrow and so on repeatedly. Despite how awful this sounds this dojutsu wasn't developed to be used against an enemy it was created to save those addicted to using Izanagi. If the target can accept their fate the mistakes they made and the reality, they created the Jutsu will release.
4. Reaper Death Seal
Invented by the Uzumaki clan, the reaper death seal is something you do not want to mess with. This Jutsu summons the Shinigami-the god of death and from that you can probably already tell what's about to go down at the start of this Jutsu. The Shinigami partly takes the soul of the caster then practically without warning the Shinigami drives its hand through its target snatching their soul and sealing it away forever along with the casters where they will do battle for all of eternity in the pits of its stomach.
The success of this Jutsu depends on the caster's strength to pull the soul out of the body. If you're on the weaker side you may only be able to seal Orochimaru’s arms, but if you're as strong as Minato in his prime you'll be able to seal half the nine tails inside of you.
3. 8th Gate technique
This Jutsu is technically not a Jutsu, but for me to not include the technique of the strongest ninja next to Madara on this list would be a great violation. I’m referring to the 8th gate technique and specifically the opening of the gate of death.
Mastered by might Guy, the opening of the 8th gate is signified by the release of a red aura symbolizing the blood boiling from within. In Guy's case, his chakra appears as a fierce dragon and his speed and strength increases to a level that can catch even Madara off guard in his ten tails form. With this technique comes Guy's strongest taijutsu. Night guy- which is a kick delivered with such force and speed it can obliterate the target's body followed by a shock wave that will shake the surrounding area. With a technique like this no one and should ever doubt the power of youth again.
2. Summoning: Impure World Reanimation
Seen plenty of times in Naruto, this Jutsu brings a soul back to the living by binding the said soul to a living human sacrifice. One downside to this Jutsu is that it requires finding the DNA of the person you want revived.
Throughout Naruto we've seen this Jutsu bring back the likes of Hashirama Senju, Minato and even Madara all at peak form due to kabuto's improvements on the Jutsu since its creation by Tobirama Senju. I must mention too that these reincarnates are immortal, any lost limbs or even the body itself can rejuvenate, and the only way to stop them is for either the revived person to give up or the caster has to release the seal.
1. Rinne Tensei
“This world shall know pain” due to the Rinne Tensei or Rinne rebirth Jutsu used through the outer path, the last of the seven paths of pain. This Jutsu summons a giant Shinigami from the ground which releases souls from the afterlife back into their original bodies.
It’s a good Jutsu to have when your entire village gets wiped out in an instant, also a great Jutsu to have when you get brought back to life by a reanimation Jutsu and want to be a real boy again (Lol).
Due to the immense amount of chakra this Jutsu requires the user's hair will turn white and will likely pass on to the other side much like Nagato did after reviving the leaf village.
This is a list of the Top Ten Forbidden Jutsu in the Naruto Verse based on my opinion.
