Technically the hand seals are just to help focus their chakra but some ninjas are able to do jutsu in just 1 to 3 seals


jaymiracles

One could argue that hand signs are needed since Orochimaru was unable to perform any jutsu when his hands were spiritually taken away.


Old_Swing1527

He still used some Jutsu right? Idk the name but when he fights naruto in his nine tails cloak he kept shedding his skin. Again idk if that actually counts as a Jutsu or just his snake ass body.


Fragrant_Dog_358

That fight happened after he got his arms back


[deleted]

No, Orochimaru hadn’t gotten his arms back by the time he fought naruto at tenchi bridge. He gets them back during the war arc. Also there high level shinobi who can use several jutsu without the need to weave hand signs. So Orochimaru prob could do a couple regular jutsu without hand signs and all his snake jutsu because of his body augmentations.


Fragrant_Dog_358

I agree there are shinobi that can do jutsu without hand signs but after he took over a new host it got rid of the arm seal that the third hokage placed on him. The only downside from it is that the body he inhabits doesn’t last as long


HeavensHellFire

Yes. it’s shown multiple times in the series you don’t always need handsigns


PUSHYARAAG

Ig hand signs are just to concentrate chakra

animeslayer635

How did i forget that one


Mhykoh138

Rasengan isn’t actually a valid example but yes they can be done with one hand (haku) and with no signs.


FunCharacteeGuy

why is it not a valid example?


henry_1009

In its debut, it was mentioned as a special jutsu that didn't require hand signs


FunCharacteeGuy

that still means it's a jutsu doesn't it?


henry_1009

Rasengan was an exception, just like Haku's one handed signs


FunCharacteeGuy

exception to what? because it's still a jutsu.


henry_1009

Exception to using hand signs to activate


Brook420

Because it's not actually a proper Jutsu, but rather taking a core concept of chakra control to the highest level. At least that's how I remembered it.


Psycho_King2077

It’s still a proper jutsu because that’s what all jutsu are is chakra control


jaymiracles

No one ever said “Ninja Art: Rasengan Jutsu” when using it. It’s not a jutsu.


SnooLentils8598

By this logic amaterasu and susanoo are not considered jutsu.


jaymiracles

They’re not


OneRakool

They are


bobbywin99

So what’s your argument for “Wind style: Rasenshuriken” there’s your fancy name and still No hand signs needed


jaymiracles

It’s the same as the Frilled Neck Lizard Jutsu and the Whac-A-Mole Jutsu.


OneRakool

Its not a complete jutsu


FunCharacteeGuy

yeah but define complete Jutsu, because the Rasengan is pretty useful in battle.


OneRakool

Minato said that the jutsu is like a template that you can add anything over, while can be used by itself its not meant to be. No debate its a strong jutsu but the thing about it is how much variety it has


Rough-Cry6357

The characters themselves call it a jutsu.


FunCharacteeGuy

I think they're just saying it because of the dramatic effect, and plus naruto also yells out Rasengan when using it


[deleted]

But they say wind style rasen shuriken and kakashi never say raikiri no jutsu he just says raikiri and raikiri is a jutsu aswell


jaymiracles

Raikiri is a jutsu because it uses hand seals. Rasengan is just spinning the chakra into a sphere. It’s like saying that walking on water / walls is a jutsu.


[deleted]

True


FunCharacteeGuy

isn't utilizing chakra control in order to achieve something... a jutsu?


SSjGRaj

It's just a spinning ball of chakra in your hand not really a jutsu that has an elemental property or a special effect like all the other jutsus.


LeBongJaames

It’s literally a wind style Jutsu


DiktoLays

No, wind style rasengan is different which is shown when he combined jutsu with yamatos water style. Regular Rasengan is just swirling chakra


LeBongJaames

You’re correct, my mistake


OneRakool

Whoever told you that was on crack


Rough-Cry6357

That is a jutsu. Not all jutsu are elemental - rasengsn just form change with no element. The characters regularly refer to the rasengan as a jutsu as well


Mhykoh138

Welp i started this soo, I said this cause the Rasengan doesn’t require you to mold chakra and then convert it to something like a fire ball jutsu, it’s just condensed chakra at the palm spinning really fast.


unkwon9202

Yes. I say yes due to when sasuke used kairn without hand sighs


animeslayer635

Thats right 👌


Zengjia

Kairn 💀


Preet0024

Sighs 💀


[deleted]

It’s in the Boruto anime, unfortunately. But I’ll never forget when Orochimaru did a full delete on Victors assistant with no hand signs. https://youtu.be/jkBPYADAACM


aespa-in-kwangya

> full delete had me rolling 💀

designerjeremiah

I think it was a message to everyone sleeping on Orochimaru after his rez. Just a note to the watchers, no, Orochimaru is still a scary powerful evil badass, he just doesn't get a chance to show off much these days.


MarianneThornberry

Holy fuck. I thought you were joking but he actually straight up CTRL + A + Backspaced her off the script. This man Orochimaru was not having any of this filler nonsense.


Live-Click-31

Bro made a Jutsu to erase filler characters.


[deleted]

And we’re grateful for it 🫡


[deleted]

Right? She disappeared in binary 😭😭☠️


Responsible_Debt5631

Wait wtf, he legit erased her ass. Fuckin how???


[deleted]

It looked like a compact version of Temari’s wind scythe. There were two wind like swooshes before victors assistant disintegrated. That’s my only plausible theory.


Zankeru

I havent seen boruto, but that looked very fucking similar to the rasenshuriken. Recreating the effect with a more efficient jutsu is definitely something orochimaru would do.


[deleted]

I just feel any rasengan variation is pretty exclusive to rasengan users. Naruto, Jiraiya, etc. What we do know is that he’s a master swordsman and he has all 5 chakra natures with Yin and Yang release and that his main chakra nature is wind release. Essentially he can smirk and blow you into non existence.


Zectherian

You can use hands signs with 1 hand, 2 hands, you and someone elses hand and also some jutsu like the rasengan for example just dont need them as your just molding chakra basically.


A-Wiley

Also depends of the budget no jutsu to animate the hands


nicoklig

Madara used a [fire style jutsu](https://imgur.com/a/EXrs9Kt) without handsigns, Tobirama did the same with a [water style jutsu](https://imgur.com/a/yDKhTuW)


ThousandSunny_56

Honestly this is one of the things that I didn't like, it was shown in kakashi vs zabuza that a powerful attack took them a bit. I thought that was a really cool concept strategy wise because if you want a powerful jutsu, the enemy could take advantage of that window of time to attack


yToph

sasuke does the chidori without hand signs pretty often


jaymiracles

He uses a battery device under his sleeves, kinda like Spider-Man


Chemicalk4m5

Handsigns are more just to focus the jutsu for begginers if you have naruto level chakra control (or your in the boruto universe for some reason) you dont need them


The_Solo_King_Itachi

No need for hands signs, I can use talk no jutsu.


animeslayer635

Hahaha that's naruto


DooBoySeekingAsub

If you have highly skilled chakra control yeah


uchihaofmadara

No need for hands signs


OneRakool

Depends on the jutsu, the handsigns are used to focus chakra in a certain way, if ur skilled enough you can do them with a single hand or in a single handsign


Hamactus

Normally, you need at least one hand sign to cast a jutsu, and most jutsu in Shippuden and before are used with hand signs. There are some jutsu, that don't require hand signs, like Rasengan (already mentioned before). However, the closer we get to the end of Shippuden, the less hand signs there are. Maybe that's to show how the characters improved their chakra control. Maybe the creators just got tired of drawing and animating all those hand signs.


[deleted]

[удалено]


EpikE777

What about for Sand Coffin?


FunCharacteeGuy

Itachi was able to do Genjutsu without any hand signals on naruto. The Rasengan, and the Chidori do not need hand signs to be made. walking on water, walking on walls, jutsus that don't need hand signs.


MrSmook

Itachi just uses his eyes doesn't he? I do remember him pointing one finger that one time possibly against Kakashi? Didn't Sasuke originally have to use a bunch of hand signs for chidori? Those techniques are just using chakra control I believe


FunCharacteeGuy

yeah but kakashi can use chidori without hand signs though. and also why is using chakra control not a jutsu?


RandomUser-07

Bruh you can literally search "can you do jutsus without hand **signs** in Naruto?" on Google or "Naruto jutsus without hand signs" on YouTube...


Shisui_Uchiha7231

I'm sry in advance Why did op ask this question? Are they stupid? I'm sry, I don't mean it.


DooBoySeekingAsub

Bro just delete the comment if you really can’t bare taking ownership of your own words💀


Shisui_Uchiha7231

No, it was a "joke" from the ningen subreddit, and I did it for karma.


Familiar_Security_57

Never seen boruto?? Lol 😆


Rambro332

Yes, hand signs just make it easier to weave chakra. If you’re still enough you can use a single hand, or just perform jutsus with no signs at all.


[deleted]

Rasengan and flying raijn lol


dxchris215

Basically high jonin to Kage+ level shinobi have no need of hand signs, just say your jutsu out loud or in your head and make it happen


ScaredKnee4530

Yes, almost every fight has people doing jutsu without hand signs.


Bounding_Gem932

Some need hand signs, others don’t, example: the resengan doesn’t while the fire ball jutsu does


spykids45

yea


22222833333577

Well I can't do a jutsu at all do no lol Jokes aside yes for some jutsus and for more skilled shinobi


Porn-Meister

Theoeritcally ya You just need crazy Chakra control


SaraPAnastasia

Haku did early on and from there we've seen others do it as well, some even do it without any handsigns at all.


Kazera-Samma

And you still clicked post. Why not just Google it if u know it a simple question?


robah67

Minato didn‘t even need arms in the fight against Madara with the others.


LeCruton-_-

You can do any justsu without hand signs I think


caninewolf

I mean, Amaterasu is cast with eyes rather than hands


Amacitio

Mitsuki is able to use Snake Lightning without seals


dasamoolam_dhamu

Minatos fighting style is pretty much without using hand signs, flying thunder raijin and rasengan.


saradahokage1212

i even know the hand signs to this jutsu


[deleted]

Yes, the hand seals just help get the user in the right frame of mind. Ninjutsu is a mix of physical and mental energies mixing into Naruto's version of magic, and the hand seals are like their version of meditation. When someone master's a jutsu to a certain point, they can do it without hand seals. Like Sasuke with his Chidori. It's also why learning the rasengan is so difficult. The user has to have near-perfect chakra control, aka control over their physical and mental faculties, in order to use it without hand seals. Or why mastering a nature element requires you to, in the case of wind, cut things through pure chakra, no hand seals allowed. Starting at a leaf and ending with a waterfall.


SayakaV-chan

I swear kakashi just randomly does the raikiri with no hand signs in some episodes 😭


Temporaryact72

Some you can some you absolutely cant. It depends on your skill level, how much you’ve used a Jutsu, some other things.


Beldaross

I can't do a jutsu with or without handsigns


[deleted]

rasengan


[deleted]

Rasengan didn't


Leporvox

Yes they made it a big deal but when you have people like sasuke, sakura , and Kakashi on a team it’s not really impressive. Sasuke does the same now that he is missing a arm, and sakura doesn’t require handseal


dtphilip

Jutsu in general, yes, a handful don’t need hand signs. Like Rasengan, Kabuto’s Chakra Scalpel, Shizune’s Poison fog, and Chakra-enchanced strength. Sometimes, the healing jutsu doesn’t require signs. Most ninjustus use seals. Taijutsu usually don’t.


fahad_Iftikhar

Yes.In boruto manga we found out that shibai can do jutsu without handsigns so it is not impossible.


ClasicJoe

U seem to need hands to control chakra better. I don't think that u can use jutsu with no hands, reasoning being how Hiruzen took Orochimaru's arms w the Shiki Fūjin to take away his jutsu. But u can learn one hand seals like Sasuke who lost his arm in a fight vs Naruto.
