Ren is outputting aura on a high level to increase physical strength and durability. Hatsu is the release of a person's expression of Nen that follows six categories and based on the users' preference. The six categories of auras are born with one of these types, which are Enhancement, Transmutation, Conjuration, Emission, Manipulation, and Specialization. Enhancers can empower their bodies and items, and Transmutors can change their auras to match qualities of known matter or an imagined matter. Emitters can project their aura in different ways, and Manipulators can control living organisms and inanimate objects; Specialists use aura unique from the other five categories. One person is born with one category, but one is not the limit. An Enhancer can show compatibility with Emission and Transmutation.

 * Ninjutsu are techniques that do not fall into the other two categories. Most ninjutsu requires chakra and hand seals while also having many sub-categories such as weaponry, medical ninjutsu, sealing jutsu, and summoning jutsu. Ninjutsu uses two forms of chakra control to use called Shape Transformation and Nature Transformation. Shape Transformation changes the form and movement of chakra to use a technique where the energy can manifest. Nature Transformation is a technique that can alter the properties of chakra in order to use techniques. The ninjutsu is based on the Five Basic Natures that define chakra natures.
