Hiraishin no Jutsu is a very popular space-time ninjutsu in Naruto. It was created by the genius Tobirama Senju. It later became Minato Namikaze's signature jutsu, earning him the nickname "Yellow Flash of Konoha."
Hiraishin no Jutsu allows the user to teleport from one place to another in an incredibly fast time. However, to activate this jutsu, the user must first mark their target with the jutsu-shiki formula.
Interestingly, this jutsu has several other variations that can be applied in combat. So, what are they? Check out the full discussion in the following article!
1. Hiraishin: Dorai
First, there's the Hiraishin: Dorai jutsu developed by Minato. This technique takes the form of a powerful barrier that is effective in deflecting enemy attacks.
If it comes into contact with an opponent's attack, the barrier will deflect the attack and then teleport it to the location marked by the user. This technique was used by Minato to repel the Bijudama attack when the Kyubi attacked Konoha.
2. Hiraishin – Ni no Dan
Hiraishin – Ni no Dan is one of Minato's most interesting and impressive jutsu in combat. The jutsu's prowess was clearly demonstrated when Minato attacked Obito with highly unpredictable movements.
First, Minato would throw a Hiraishin Kunai as a direct attack towards the opponent as a decoy. Once the kunai reached its target at very close range, Minato would switch positions with the kunai and deliver a devastating attack.
3. Rasen Senko Cho Rinbuko Sanshiki
Rasen Senko Cho Rinbuko Sanshiki is one of the jutsu developed by Minato, using the Hiraishin no Jutsu as its basis. To execute this jutsu, Minato would throw six Hiraishin Kunai at the enemy.
In the anime version, when Minato activated this jutsu, a unique effect was seen, including a lightning bolt or yellow flash. This technique was used by Minato to defeat a platoon of ninja in a short time.
4. Hiraishin Goshun Mawashi no Jutsu
Unlike the previous jutsu, Hiraishin Goshun Mawashin no Jutsu is a collaborative technique that requires the cooperation of two Hiraishin no Jutsu users. This technique was demonstrated by Minato and Tobirama during the Fourth Shinobi World War.
When activating this jutsu, both users mark each other with a special formula. Afterward, they can switch positions with each other in the blink of an eye. Minato and Tobirama once used this technique to launch a surprise attack on Obito.
5. Hiraishingiri
Hiraishingiri is one of the most deadly variations of Hirashin no Jutsu. In the story, this jutsu was used by Tobirama to kill Izuna Uchiha.
To use this jutsu, the user must first mark their target enemy. Afterward, the user points their weapon at the target and teleports at high speed, delivering an instant fatal attack.
Due to its incredible speed, even a Sharingan user like Izuna couldn't block it, leading to his death at Tobirama's hands.
6. Hiraijin no Jutsu
Unlike the previous jutsu, Hiraijin no Jutsu was taught by Minato to the Hokage's special guards to make their job of protecting the Hokage easier.
Hiraijin no Jutsu requires the cooperation of three people to activate. They form a circular formation, surrounding the person in the center, and then teleport to a pre-marked location.
