When making your own jutsu, there are several things to take into consideration that you usually do not have to think about when just copy/pasting from Narutopedia or something of the like. A custom made jutsu should be balanced; the amount of chakra, concentration and/or physical strain of the technique should match the effect of the outcome. You will also need to think about things like chakra nature of the jutsu (Jutsu Nature), the rank of the technique and classification (ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu ect.). You can read more about those things below.
What is jutsu nature? Well, it is the chakra nature that is needed to preform a certain technique. A fire release technique will require a user with fire nature chakra and a earth release technique will require a user with earth nature. An element-based technique is as such called an Element Release. When making your custom techniques, you will need to keep this in mind.
Now, the main chakra natures are Katon (Fire), Fuuton (Wind), Raiton (Lightning), Douton (Earth) and Suiton (Water). Kekkei Genkai are about to mix and match these chakras to make new elements, such as Wind and Water making Ice.
What do I mean by “classifications”? I mean, which category of jutsu does your specific technique fit? There are many categories to take into consideration when making your own techniques. First of all, you need to think of whether the technique is ninjutsu, taijutsu or genjutsu. These are the three main classifications. Ninjutsu is offensive or defensive techniques that require chakra use, has a physical outcome and is out of the spectrum of what regular humans can actually do. Taijutsu is hand-to-hand combat or any type of physical combat that does not require the use of chakra, but rather raw stamina, strength and/or speed. Genjutsu are illusionary techniques that does not have any actual physical outcome, but makes things seem different from what they actually are. These three classifications are already divided on the sheet, but there is a classification point on the Jutsu Sheet anyways, because there are more classifications than the main three. All other classifications are still part of one of the main three, but they also have a “second title” and/or“third title”, so to speak. A technique can have multiple classifications, but it does not necessarily have more than one.
Hiden Jutsu (Secret/Family Techniques)
Kinjutsu (Forbidden Techniques)
Doujutsu (Eye Techniques)
Kenjutsu (Sword Techniques)
Bukijutsu (Weapon Techniques)
Kekkaijutsu (Barrier Techniques)
Bunshinjutsu (Clone Techniques)
Fuuinjutsu (Sealing Techniques)
Iryoujutsu (Medical Techniques)
Senjutsu (Sage Techniques)
Kekkei Genkai (Bloodline Limit)
It can sometimes be hard to tell what rank a technique is and when in doubt you can always ask, but try and see if you cannot figure it out on your own, first.
E-rank:
E-rank techniques are weak, to say the least. They are academy student level and are required for a student to even pass the academy. If you were to make an E-rank technique of your own, for whatever reason, it should have very little chakra cost and very little effect. The effect should not be offensive or in any way able to do physical harm.
Examples; Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique), Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique).
D-rank:
D-rank techniques are weak. They are genin level and are expected of a genin. If you make a D-rank technique of your own, it should have low chakra cost, low concentration and low effects. The effect can be offensive, defensive or illusionary.
Many D-rank techniques seem to be extensions of the already learned E-rank techniques, so the genin can get comfortable with using stronger techniques before they are actually required to. I.e Shikyaku no Jutsu (Four Legs Technique) is an extension of Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique) as the user will use the same basics as in a transformation, but instead of copying the appearance of another, they take the shape of a more beastly self.
Examples; Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique), Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Technique).
C-rank:
C-rank techniques are average or medium. They are genin to chuunin level and are required for a genin to become a chuunin. The C-rank techniques are where chakra nature, bloodline limits and secret/family techniques come into the picture.
When making your own C-rank techniques, you need to start thinking about the balance between effort and effect.
Examples;
B-rank:
B-rank techniques are strong. They are chuunin to jounin level and are required for a chuunin to become jounin. B-rank techniques have high costs, requires massive amounts of chakra and serious concentration. They do not necessarily have a high drawback, but the risk is certainly greater than with a C-rank technique.
Examples; Shikon no Jutsu (Dead Soul technique), Doton: Doryuuheki (Earth Release: Earth Wall).
A-rank:
Most A-rank techniques are forbidden, due to the fact that they pose a risk to the user. They are required for a jounin to rise past the norm and stand out enough to be appointed a kage. The cost and/or drawback of an A-rank technique should be higher than the effect/outcome.
Examples; Chidori (One Thousand Birds), Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere).
S-rank:
S-rank techniques are all forbidden and have both extreme costs and effects. They are usually specific to a single user.
Examples; Sousou Saisei (Creation Rebirth), Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique).
A Kekkei Genkai, Bloodline Limit, Blood Inheritance or whatever you want to call it (I will usually call it a KG) is a technique that is limited by blood and usually are held within a single clan. A KG is most commonly the ability to mix and match two different chakra natures into making a new one, like Wind and Water making Ice or the ability to manipulate ones body in a way that one would normally not be able to, like bones growing excessively or becoming liquid form.
All known Doujutsu (Eye Techniques) are KG.
