What New Jutsu Is Naruto Using???

What new jutsu doses Naruto have now? There seems to be quite an uproar on the forums between weather he has learned his fathers jutsu or has he gained incredible speed as part of his new power. Both sides have compelling things to say.

Naruto after sealing away the Kyubi’s chakra and saying good bye to his parents rejoins his comrades. Upon him opening up his new power he senses Kisame’s evil presence. With his cover blown Kisame jumps out and tries to run for it.

We see Naruto with the others froze in place. The next seen is the one above where Naruto seems to come out of nowhere with lightening speed and just crushes Kisame into a wall. This is where the speculating begins. How did Naruto get over to Kisame that quickly? Here are a few popular suggestions.

First suggestion is that Naruto after watching the flashback from his parents and speaking with them (even though jutsu is never discussed) learned how to perform the Forth’s jutsu, The Flying Thunder God Technique.

A breakdown is needed to show how this tech works. What we know about this jutsu is that it is a time/space jutsu that works similar to teleporting. The Forth Hokage uses unique Kunai (ninja knives marked with a seal) that act as beacons’. The forth can summon himself to any of them at will. By summoning himself he is able to teleports instantly from one spot to another. In the images above he is fighting and is about to be touched by the enemy when he teleports to where he through a kunai and smashed down on top of his foe.

The pros to this theory are that he just met his dad who used the jutsu. So he could have picked up on how to do it by watching what his dad did. This is not as far fetched considering that every clan passes down jutsu to their kids in the series. He also learns that both his parents infused him with what was left of their chakra before they died, meaning he might have had it gifted to him in some way knowing that Naruto might need it to defeat the masked man.

The cons to this are that no one taught Naruto the tech, so how can he use something he never learned. Minato Namikaze (Naruto’s dad) uses the unique kunai to summon himself to. When Naruto shows up next to Kisame there was nothing that was marked to be summed to. He just showed up there. The Second Hokage, Madra, and Naruto’s dad Minato (the forth hokage) are the only charters so far that can use space/time jutsu. Meaning Naruto would be in the company of some of the best ninjas in history.

The second theory is that Naruto is using Body Flicker Jutsu also know as Shunshin. This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalize the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and their intended destination.

I still don’t know how Naruto would know how to do this but it is more plausible that he used his chakra to charge his body and move extremely fast rather that teleport since he has no idea how to.

The other Theory has to do not as much with Naruto but the fox itself. In Japanese folklore a nine-tailed fox has mystical powers. Of those one happens to be time/space travel of sorts. I have been hearing people say that when Naruto uses the chakra of the fox one of the benefits in gaining a time/space power.

I am very interested to find out the details of what jutsu Naruto has learned. All we can do is hope that they take one page next week and explain what happened. I doubt it….
