Welcome to Ninja Explained Trivia where real ninja meet Naruto ninja
Ninjas are all about illusion and stealth. Most of what you think you see isn't what is really happening.
Camouflage a.k.a Concealment Jutsu - to hide their presence
Disguises a.ka. Transformation Jutsu
Hallucinogens a.k.a. Genjutsu
Get the picture so our first trivia question of the day.
What is the logical explanation for
Katon Gokakyuu no Jutsu - Grand Fireball technique

I wanna know how it would work if a "real" ninja had to do it.
What would a real ninja need to do to create the illusion that he's spitting a big firebal at you from his mouth lol

Let's see, it's kind of funny but I've done it before as a presentation during a japanese oral in high skool. a really bad attempt, so here is mine explanation.
had a lighter strapped to one of my hands and a paper ball (keeping it dry was hard, couldn't move mouth mouth at all or saliva would make it damp) in my mouth the size of which it could fit through my hands. Place hands in front of mouth. hand with lighter in front of mouth other hand in front of the lighter hand and but have the thumb touching the lighter flick. flick the lighter on and shoot the paper ball out.
and presto! A fireball.
LOL god it was funny back then...

lol that's a start, add some alcohol in your mouth and maybe just maybe you'd have gotten a fireball ball
...and possibly burnt lips

Alcohol from the mouth is a very real posibility. As Jarome said fire breathers are there! XD
No, it does not burn the lips. Not if you place the lighter further away from your mouth as you spit out the alcohol.
Ever thought of those circus people who throw fire with their mouth? Fire breathers? FIREBALL!
It doesn't burn your lips because the fire doesn't have time to reach your lips as it burns the alcohol that you are spitting out. Thought beards are a serious problem. You have to be double careful with those.
Gogogo more questions!

Summoning?

Post by Grylvak on Dec 28, 2010 18:33:41 GMT -5
Depends on the animal. If -real- ninjas did use summoning, I would suggest the following...
Hawks that can follow from the sky, and attack at the command of the ninja.
Ferrets, ferocious little beasts. You can have one on you without too much a bother. Again, train it to attack at a specific command/gesture and there it goes.
Those two are just examples, and not very Asian. I don't think Japan has those two animals.
You get the idea thought. Small poisonous frogs, spiders, insects, that they can quickly throw at their opponents from small boxes.
The idea is out of nowhere comes a beast. Obviously I don't think they were cool enough to summon panda's. xD Or anything "Big" But birds... yeah. Birds of prey is an idea.

Suiton - Water Techniques!

Well...obviously tidal waves are not possible...heh.
What is possible, is something called.... Acid! or Poison! A liquid that you can spit out right into the eyes of your opponent.
Do not try this at home.
Anything in the eyes will make you close it unless you trained to keep them open during combat... Honestly it'd be better to try and close them before you get that stuff into your eyes.
You could also throw eggs filled with water, I know they used eggs to make some sort of "Bomb" with egg shells, but I doubt it would work with water.
How were you thinking they might use water thought? As a weapon? As a tool? Wut!?

I think if one studied the tides and goaded a samurai into a fight near the sea, one could maneuver in and around the beach so meticulously, that the samurai would think that he controlled the tides... wouldn't be too far-fetched.
