Ninjutsu

Ninjutsu, also known as Ninpo (忍法), is a form of combat practiced by ninja.

Overview
The purpose of ninjutsu is to enable ninja to perform their duties efficiently, primarily intelligence gathering and taking down enemies. Ninjutsu particularly aids ninja with stealth operations, as several techniques focus on making discreet escapes and swiftly incapacitating enemies a practitioner may encounter.

Many ninja use weapons, with shuriken being the most common. Others have been seen using swords and ropes.

Raizo's Techniques

 * Ninpo: Enton no Jutsu (忍法 煙遁の術): Raizo throws a smoke ball into the ground and quickly moves to a new location while being obscured by the smokescreen.


 * Ninpo: Bunshin no Jutsu (忍法 分身の術): Multiple copies of Raizo are seen at once in various places. It is unknown whether he can actually make clones of himself or simply create speed-based illusions.


 * Ninpo: Daisuki no Jutsu (忍法 大好きの術): Raizo leaps into the air and offers a hug.




 * Ninpo: Maki Maki no Jutsu (忍法 の術): Raizo uses the power of Maki Maki no Mi to manifests a scroll from thin air that can capture and store an enemy's attack inside of it. The scroll starts out normal-sized but can rapidly grow in size to intercept any attack. It was first used to intercept Kaido's Bolo Breath attack.
 * Hokan (奉還): After wrapping the scroll around his opponent, Raizo releases their attack from the scroll to strike them across their whole body. Before unleashing this attack, Raizo says "Return" (お返しいたす) followed by the name of the opponent's attack. It was first used against Kaido to redirect his Bolo Breath attack back at him.

Non-Canon

 * Ninpo: Kawarimi no Jutsu (忍法 変わり身の術): Raizo replaces his body with a large log and reappears somewhere else, allowing him to escape an attack.


 * Ninpo: Musasabi no Jutsu (忍法 ムササビの術): Raizo glides through the air with his arms stretched out. He uses this to escape from Solitaire.

Shinobu's Techniques

 * Ninpo: Odako (忍法 大凧): Shinobu uses a large kite to evade pursuers through the air. It is large and durable enough to carry at least one additional person with Shinobu. It was first used to escape a home of an individual on whom Shinobu and Nami were spying.


 * Ninpo: Kintama-Tsubushi (忍法 金玉潰し): Shinobu throws an object that ricochets to hit her opponent's groin. It was first used against Hanzo of the Orochi Oniwabanshu.


 * Ninpo: Kanashibari no Jutsu (忍法 金縛りの術): A gag technique that supposedly paralyzes Shinobu's opponent. It was first "used" against Hanzo, although he had already been incapacitated by the pain from her Ball-Crusher technique, leading Nami to question whether it was an actual technique.


 * Sexy Ninpo: Kare-San-Sui (忍法 枯散衰): Shinobu touches the ceiling in which she hides and makes it collapse with the Juku Juku no Mi in order to escape. In the VIZ translation, this is called Sexy Ninpo: Rot Garden. The technique's name may be a pun on karesansui (枯山水), "dry landscape", a term for the Japanese rock garden.


 * Enton no Jutsu (の術): An evasion technique that allow Shinobu's to escape persuaders. It was first used against Yamato, not believing the latter claim to want to help her protect Kozuki Momonosuke.

Jigoku Benten's Techniques

 * Ninpo: Jigoku Biwa (忍法 地獄琵琶): Jigoku Benten plays her biwa, which contains a hidden gun that fires a quick barrage of shots at her target. It was first used against Roronoa Zoro.

Fukurokuju's Techniques

 * Ninpo: Mimitabu Clackers (忍法 耳たぶクラッカー): His signature method of fighting, Fukurokuju controls his earlobes as easily as though they were his arms and uses them to strike opponents with tremendous force, with the earlobes having a considerable amount of range due to their length. In the VIZ translation, this is called Ninpo: Earlobe Crackers.

Trivia

 * Nami's usage of her Art of Weather in front of Kin'emon and Raizo on two separate occasions was referred to as "Ninjutsu". Later, while she accompanied Shinobu, she named one of her techniques "Ninpo". Additionally like Shinobu, O-Nami was given the nickname Kunoichi (the name for a female practitioner of Ninjutsu) for her bounty issued by the Mimawarigumi of Wano Country.
 * When Robin used one of her Hana Hana no Mi abilities before Kin'emon, he associated it with "Ninjutsu". Recently, so did the Orochi Oniwabanshu when they tried to attack 'her' and it was revealed to actually be one of her clones (but they also thought it might be "Sorcery").
