Not all weapons are included or must be used. If you character has their own custom weapon, feel free to use it as long as it is approved by a staff member.
Common & Basic Weapons[/b]
Kunai - The Kunai is a kind of basic dagger that all ninjas use. It is all-purpose and can be used as a throwing knife or to stab at your opponents. It is extremely vital for all Shinobi to have.
Shuriken - The shuriken, otherwise known as ninja stars, is a very deadly and commonly used weapon. There are two types of shuriken: the tiny ones which are more smaller and easier to throw, and the Fuuma Shuriken: a huge shuriken used for fast and easy killing. It is very unwieldy, but if it hits you, you're as good as dead! While the Fuuma shuriken is preferred by the older and more experienced Shinobi, some Genin find it easier to use than the regular sized shuriken.
Fuuma Shuriken - The fuuma shuriken is also known as the windmill shuriken. It is much larger than the normal shuriken and it is also collapsible. Though the accuracy rate is much lower the effects of being hit by a fuuma shuriken are far more deadly.
Katanas - Katanas are one sided swords used as the default weapon for ANBU members.
Makibishi - Makibishi are small nails used to attack the opponent with. Just like the Senbon Needles, it does not hit the opponent very often. Some ninjas use this weapon as a distraction for his/her main attack. Makibishis have 4 pointed spikes and are also used to slow down an opponent. Its shape makes it so at least one point is always facing up.
Food Pills - You would be surprised to consider this a weapon, but it is. Food pills allow the user to double their chakra and even fight three days non-stop. Also when fed to some animals it creates a chemical reaction. Kabuto, Orochimaru's #1 subordinate has been known to use a blood pill, which regenerates blood lost in battle. The AkimichiClan (Chouji's family) uses a set of 3 pills that greatly increase the user's abilities and can even change their appearance.
Animals/Insects - Animals are also considered as weapons. Some animals have chemical reactions when fed food pills. Inuzuka Kiba's dog, Akamaru turns red and grows in size when fed! Also, Aburame Shino of the Insect Clan uses his bugs to sap chakra out of his opponents. Sometimes it's so deadly that they can never fight again! The Kuchiyose no Jutsu or The Summoning Technique allows the user to summon animals through the space-time continuum. There have been six users who can use Kuchiyose no Jutsu Gama Sennin. They are: Naruto, 5th Hokage, Orochimaru, Jiriaya, and Maito Gai, and 3rd Hokage. Each Kuchiyose allows the user to summon a large creature. Naruto's and Jiraiya's creature is a toad, 5th Hokage's is a slug, Orochimaru's is a snake, Gai's is a turtle, and 3rd Hokage's is an ape.
ANY SUMMONING SKILLS MUST BE APPROVED BY ADMIN! NO EXCEPTION!
Bombs - Oddly enough, bombs are used in Naruto, but not often. So far there has only been 3 different bombs seen in the series: Smoke, Gas and Light. The smoke bomb is either used as a distraction or an escape tool. The gas bomb is simply a poisonous gas bomb which causes coughing once breathed in. The light bomb is used to blind a person and it was used to blind Tayuya as part of one of Shikamaru's plans.
Ointment - Ointments are simply used as a healing cream or used to relieve pain.
Exploding Tags - A commonly used weapon, exploding tags are pieces of paper with the Japanese character "Baku," which means "explode" written on it. These tags can be easily placed on various items and will ignite them and explode after a short amount of time.
Umbrella - Umbrellas are used by the Shinobi of the Rain village. These umbrellas are mainly used to conceal thousands of needles which, when the umbrella is thrown into the air spinning, spread out in a rain-like fashion.
Wire - Wires are simple thin metal wiring often tied to the kunai or shuriken and thrown to in groups to fasten an enemy to a tree or rock.
Senbon Needles - Senbon needles, while mainly used for Acupuncture (a form of Chinese healing that includes sticking needles in strategic spots on your body, redirecting ki or your life force so that it balances out) some Shinobi, properly trained, can use them as deadly weapons. One of the reasons it is not all that popular is it requires extreme accuracy and speed, fore these are only deadly if they hit a vital area of the body. Masters of the Senbon Needle combat are in a way, masters of illusion. With the right precision and timing, a Shinobi can throw a Senbon Needle seemingly at a vital target on an ally, but actually missing it by a few inches. This causes the ally to go into a death-like trance in which the Shinobi will appear dead. Even if the opponents were to take precautions to see if they are really dead. The only known Shinobi who uses Senbon Needles in is Haku.
Puppets- puppets are usually made of wood and are controlled by the user by strings of chakra. Then can be desguised as the user or something else to fool an opponent and can be quite deadly in the hands of a master.
Fans- Used to create gusts of wind and can also serve as a sheild depending on what they are made of. These can be quite deadly with techniques specialized for them.
Iron Knuckles - Iron knuckles are pointed knuckle weapons with a blade on the outward facing end. Extremely useful in hand-to-handcombats.
Flute - Flutes are basic musical instruments but with special purposes. Certain Genjutsu and Ninjitsu techniques can be preformed by using chakra with it.
Sickle - A long cruved blade placed atop a certain length of pole/stick. Used for quick slices are an be used as a far or close range weapondepending on the stick.
Chains - Usually made of metal, chains can be used for a variety of purposes. Weapons such as daggers and iron balls can be place at the ends of them.
Soldier Pills - These pills taken to fight for three days and three nights non-stop. (NOT TO BE USED ALL THE TIME!)
