List of Common Medical Ninjutsu

Chakra Enhanced Strength: This is a jutsu in which the user focuses precise chakra control into their hands or feet and releases it with pinpoint timing, which greatly enhances their strength. Tsunade created the concept of this jutsu to intimidate enemies and keep them at bay while she healed injured ninja.

The training for this technique is quite arduous, as Tsunade repeatedly came at Sakura with full power to help her learn. Despite this, the outcome of this training is incredible, giving the user enough strength to easily make gigantic craters or kill opponents with single strikes.

Medical Mode: This mode envelops the user in a flowing blue chakra and allows them to constantly heal themselves in the midst of battle while at the same time boosting their strength and speed. Only Shizune and Sakura Haruno have been shown to use it. Though one would think that Tsunade and Kabuto Yakushi must be able to use it as well, they use their own unique, more advanced versions of constant healing, which include Creation Rebirth and Secret Healing Wound Destruction respectively. Over time, Medical Mode consumes the user's chakra until it finally wears off by itself, though the user or, more specifically, Sakura, can cancel it whenever she wishes. Shizune, however, does not hold such control over the technique.

Delicate Illness Extraction Technique: When a person has been afflicted by a pathogen or toxin, this medical ninjutsu can be used to draw out the agent and heal the damage. The cause of the illness is first determined by perceiving disturbances in the patient's chakra. Then, using a Chakra Scalpel, an incision is made near the affected part. Using their chakra, the medical-nin pushes a large volume of a medicinal fluid through the incision. The fluid then draws the poison out of the affected part(s) and serves as a medium through which the poison is suspended and then forced out of the person's body. This technique thus removes the poison, while simultaneously repairing the damage caused by the poison.

After the agent is drawn out, it can be used to create an antidote or medicine after it has been analyzed. This can then be given to the patient to ensure a complete recovery. This technique requires the utmost care and ability in diagnosis and incising and unmatched chakra control. Therefore, it is considered an extremely difficult technique, even among medical ninjutsu.

Chakra Scalpel: This medical technique forms one's chakra into a small, sharp blade. This can then be used for highly accurate incisions necessary for surgeries and anatomical dissections. Unlike regular scalpels, the Chakra Scalpel can actually make cuts inside the body without actually creating an open wound, limiting the risks of an infection.

The Chakra Scalpel can also be used offensively, although it requires great precision to be effective. Because of this requirement, using the Chakra Scalpel offensively is highly unusual. In heated combat, even the greatest medical-nin won't be able to exert the precision needed to make fatal cuts, but it can still effectively cut muscle tissues and tendons, rendering the target immobile.

Mystical Palm Technique: This medical ninjutsu allows the user to speed up the body's natural healing process by sending chakra from their hands into a wound or afflicted body part. This allows the user to heal a patient without the need for medical equipment or surgery, making it highly useful on the battlefield. It can be used to treat both external and internal injuries. It is vital to match the amount of chakra used to the severity of the affliction or injury. This requires a great amount of chakra control. Because of this, only a few highly skilled medical-nin are able to use this technique. In Part II, Kabuto demonstrated the ability to use it a short distance away from the target instead of close contact.

By sending an excess amount of chakra into the patient's body, the user can overload the patient's normal circulation, trapping them in a comatose state. Although this is usually undesirable, Kabuto Yakushi once effectively used this side effect to get Kiba Inuzuka out of his way.


Secret Healing Wound Destruction: Kabuto concentrates chakra to a prepared area of the body and begins the cell recreation process even before the targeted area becomes damaged. Kabuto claims that this technique is the reason that Orochimaru values him so highly: he can keep using test subjects for much longer than is normally feasible. The jutsu will continue to heal damage until Kabuto runs out of chakra, leaving the possibility that the damage will not be completely mended when the jutsu ends.

Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique:This jutsu uses a part of the patient's body as a medium to heal their wounds. A large, square seal is drawn on the floor and the patient is placed at the center. Four medical-nin then sit at the corners and one at the head to lead the operation and depending on the severity of the wound, may have to concentrate for several hours on healing the wound. The medic-nins on hand actually have to trade places after tiring, indicating just how long it takes.

Creation Rebirth: Over time, Tsunade concentrates her chakra to a spot on her forehead that takes the form of a diamond. When she releases the seal, the chakra disperses and stimulates the proteins of her body to increase the speed of cell division and reconstruction of cells for as long as she has enough chakra. This allows her to recreate all organs and tissues, thus it is known as the absolute pinnacle of medical ninjutsu. The technique itself does not regenerate the old cells, rather it hastens the creation of new ones through division.

However, a body's cells can only split a certain number of times in a lifetime, and by speeding up this process, Tsunade is shortening her natural lifespan. To what degree is unknown, but what is clear is that it is not great enough to cause her to die in battle, as she herself says that she gains a form of "immortality" throughout the duration of the technique.
