I am a new Naruto watcher and have always wondered what the difference between Ninja-Art, and Element ninjutsu are. Because in some cases. Naruto may say.. "Wind Style: RasenShuriken!", while Ino or Shikamaru may say.. "Ninja Art: Shadow Possesion Jutsu, or Mind Transfer Jutsu". What is the difference here, if they're the same I'm gonna look pretty stupid.
