Fighting Style

A " fighting style " is the characteristic ability upon which most or even all of a shinobi 's jutsu are based. In the case of taijutsu users, their fighting style dictates their stance in combat and how they strike their opponents; examples include the Strong Fist and Gentle Fist . In the case of ninjutsu users, their fighting style is a cornerstone to all their tactics and by which they are most easily identified; examples include Sai 's Super Beast Imitating Drawing and Konan 's Dance of the Shikigami . Ninjutsu users' fighting styles may alternatively be defined by what tool or resource they most commonly employ rather than a single ability; examples include Gaara 's sand or the Inuzuka clan 's ninken partners.
