When watching anime or reading manga, whether intentionally or unintentionally, we project ourselves onto the characters. We want to imagine ourselves conjuring a Kamehameha or utilizing Jutsu in our daily lives. Naruto is no exception to this fantastical escape. With a dense cast of lovably dangerous shinobi spread across many arcs, the series is teeming with some of the most hype moments in the anime -- especially when a new, powerful Jutsu is introduced.
However, while some Jutsu have explosive power, which ones would be the most practical in real life? These are not necessarily the most powerful Jutsu, but rather, the ones that would have the most useful applications in our society.
Shadow Clone
Shadow Clones are a practical Jutsu technique with a ton of applications. Even in Naruto, the Shadow Clones are used in many interesting ways. In real life, there are tons of uses for being in multiple places at once, especially if said situation won't involve someone actively trying to hit or attack your Shadow Clones.
A Shadow Clone can go out and do errands you need to do yourself. You can accomplish two or three separate tasks at once, even without conjuring the often excessive number of Shadow Clones Naruto summons. If something needs multiple hands to complete, you can rely on your various selves to help out. For example, raking the leaves could be finished in minutes -- and that's just yard work.
Barrier Techniques
The Barrier technique is a simple concept -- it protects you from oncoming projectiles and attacks. Just about everyone on the planet needs extra levels of protection. While there are fewer instances where you will need to unleash a Chidori on a target, there are no doubt thousands of occasions where a person might need an extra level of defense. Whether against vehicles, weapons or someone you just don't feel like encountering, there are an innumerable amount of instances a Barrier could be utilized.
Creation Rebirth
Some of the most practical Jutsu in a real-world context are Healing Jutsu. Creation Rebirth is Tsunade's special technique designed to heal damaged tissue. While it shortens the lifespan of those healed, it allows them to recover from virtually any injury, no matter how severe it might be. As a result, it is one of the most practical Jutsu around. The applications in hospitals and lives that could be saved in the process make this -- and any Healing Jutsu -- practical and life-changing inclusions.
Delicate Illness Extraction
Likewise, Delicate Illness Extraction is another healing technique that can allow a shinobi to heal another person by extracting infections from their flesh. While this is an incredibly painful process, it results in the target healing from whatever virus infects them. While understanding diseases is a massive part of stopping the spread, handling cures and more, this Jutsu would save lives. Delicate Illness Extraction would be especially helpful in instances of diseases that currently don't have a treatment and could have worked wonders at eradicating deadly plagues from this world by preventing its spread.
Flying Thunder God
Fast travel is one of the most valued elements of our modern society. However, what about instantaneous travel? The legendary Flying Thunder God Jutsu allows a person to mark another person or object, then teleport to their location regardless of distance. It's like a summoning Jutsu, only controlled by the summoned entity.
This essentially means that one can travel across vast spreads of land at astounding speeds. The applications for this are incredible. One can imagine a mass-transit system where people can be transported across the world in the blink of an eye. Commuters hoping to speed through traffic could use this to arrive at work the moment they roll out of bed and the shower. It could revolutionize the world.
