Basics of Naruto
For the starteriest of all starters, almost all of the main characters are a type of Asian fighter called ninja. These ninja all live in different villages that were built in varying biomes. The villages' names and physical appearance are based on the biomes that they're in. For example, Naruto's village, the Hidden Leaf Village, is located in a forest-like area, hence its name. Ninja also use abilities that are called jutsu and require chakra, a body-based energy, to fight or do other work. Jutsu can range from healing allies to physically altering the terrain. These jutsu are used commonly when ninja are in battle, but can also be used in everyday life.
