Ninjutsu comes from the popular manga and anime series Naruto. In Naruto, ninjutsu is a fighting technique that requires the user to channel their chakra, which is physical and spiritual energy, and to release this chakra through various hand signs. To learn the hand signs of your favorite Naruto characters, you can go to Leafninja.com.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Go to Leafninja.com. This website is a Naruto fansite with tons of information.
Step 2

Select the "Hand Seals" link. This is located on the left side of the page, under the "Jutsu Info" heading.
Step 3

Study the hand signs. The page will list all of the ninjutsu hand signs, which are named after the Chinese zodiac. Practice the signs until you have all of them memorized.
