Shinobi in the world of Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto are trained in a variety of combat styles based on natural aptitude, village-based specializations, and situational factors. While ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu are the most commonly practiced among the ninja arts, there also exist additional techniques which complement these fighting styles to great effect. One such category is the broad classification of bukijutsu or "weapon techniques," which revolves around the use of weapons of all sizes, shapes, and varieties.
