Taijutsu (Shinobi World Supplement)
Taijutsu[edit]
Where Ninjutsu uses chakra to manifest constructs of magical force, and Genjutsu uses chakra to affect the target's mind, Taijutsu uses raw, unmodified chakra to enhance the user's physical capabilities, often in the form of otherwise-impossible combination attacks. Of Taijutsu, there is a subcategory called Bukijutsu. Bukijutsu techniques enhance the user's use of weapons, such as a sword or staff.
Hand Seal Jutsu[edit]
Substitution
Cost: 3+ chakra
As a reaction, when you are hit by an attack and would take damage, you can lower the damage by 1d10 + your Shinobi Level and teleport up to 15 ft in any direction to an unoccupied space during which you take the Hide action. A log or generic object is left in your place and you take any left-over damage from that attack. You can add an additional 1d10 per chakra point spent over the initial cost.
Hazy Moon Night
Cost: 8 chakra
Jutsu Type: Bukijutsu
As a bonus action, you create numerous afterimages by rapidly vibrating your weapons, causing them to become infinitely sharp and near impossible to follow. Until the end of your turn, your weapon attacks automatically hit, but can not deal more damage than its damage die + the relevant ability modifier + your affinity bonus if applicable. This jutsu counts as an attack for the sake of two-weapon fighting.
Non-Hand Seal Jutsu[edit]
Basic Taijutsu Technique
Cost: 3 chakra
As a bonus action, you make 2 unarmed strikes.
Shuriken Jutsu
Cost: 1-3 chakra
Jutsu Type: Bukijutsu
As an action , you increase your throwing speed, throwing multiple thrown weapons. You make an additional thrown weapon for every chakra point spent on this jutsu. Only the first attack that hits adds your Dexterity or Strength modifier to damage (minimum 1). All additional thrown attacks deal +1 piercing damage as their damage modifier, thrown weapons taken out for the purposes of this Jutsu all count as one free action.
Shadow Senbon
Requirements: Shuriken Jutsu
Cost: 5 chakra
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You switch your tactics, using chakra to passively accelerate your throws to allow you to throw a second weapon in the shadow of the first. Your thrown weapon attacks gain advantage, but cost twice as many weapons to make. As a reaction to a thrown weapon attack under the effects of this jutsu, the target may attempt a Intelligence saving throw, becoming immune to this jutsu's effects for 1 hour on a success.
Thousand Shuriken of Death
Requirements: Shuriken Jutsu
Cost: 3 chakra
When you make 4 thrown weapon attacks using Shuriken Jutsu at a single creature, you throw two additional projectiles. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw instead of you making 4 attack rolls. On a failure, they take the total damage they would have taken from your thrown weapon attacks, and the damage of two additional thrown weapon attacks as if they were thrown using Shuriken Jutsu. On a success, they take half as much damage, and the attacks count as a miss for the sake of any additional affects of the weapons thrown (i.e. belled senbon).
Shower Senbon
Requirements: Shuriken Jutsu
Cost: 2 chakra
When you use Shuriken Jutsu, you redirect each shuriken around you. Until the end of your turn, you may only make 1 thrown weapon attack against each creature, but may spend more than 3 chakra on Shuriken Jutsu.
Roof Tile Shuriken

As a bonus action, you momentarily increase your physical ability by a significant amount. Though not as efficient as a normal Body Flicker, this jutsu is far more versatile. You may move across any liquid surface— such as water, acid, mud, snow, quicksand, or lava— as if it were harmless solid ground (creatures crossing molten lava can still take damage from the heat). If you cast this Jutsu while submerged in a liquid, the Jutsu carries you to the surface of the liquid at a rate of 60 feet per round. Additionally, your movement speed increases by half its total (rounded down), and attacks of opportunity against you have disadvantage.
