Ninja animation changes

[Joe777]

I don't know if you played many ninja games. But it's common ninjas blowing fire even before naruto exists. And the ninja gear still awesome and looks like a real shonobi. Also no ones on naruto looks like a ninja.

I think you and me are going to get along just fine >: ) My beef with Naruto is how they try to mix Ninjas with Monks. Monks use Chakra, Ninjas use Ninjutsu. I find it personally insulting they try to make Ninjas use Chakra. One might argue they are one in the same due to the nature of how they work, but it does have differences.

That being said, yes it is true Ninjutsu has existed before Naruto was ever a thing. Furthermore, Ninjas are and have always been known for their stealth and agility, making them silent killers. In a way, they can be compared to assassins. One might say that assassins and ninjas are like brothers in fact... But I digress.

In regards to Final Fantasy for example, we turn to Edge. Edge was using Ninjutsu to conjure elemental attacks, as well as buffs like Image. Ninjutsu is how Ninjas use their mental energies to produce attacks and defenses of a more "magical" nature. They become one with their surroundings and nature, allowing them to call forth these effects. I don't necessarily believe the hand signs are necessary to do it, but it's just how some ninjas like to show pizazz I suppose
