The hand signs used by ninja to perform their magic are based on the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac: Bird, Boar, Dog, Dragon, Hare, Horse, Ox, Monkey, Ram, Rat, Serpent, and Tiger. By using these hand signs to release their chakra in specific patters, ninja can use various magical techniques, generally referred to as "jutsu".
Bird
Boar
Dog
Dragon
Hare
Horse
Monkey
Ox
Ram
Rat
Serpent
Tiger
With enough training, a ninja can reach the level of skill for any jutsu that hand signs are no longer needed. This does, however, require a large amount of chakra control, and it takes quite some time before the user can achieve this level.
