Jujutsu

Jujutsu (呪術; Literally meaning "Curse Techniques") are types of jutsu that allows an individual to curse another person through either blood contract or by ritualistic means. When a Jujutsu is placed on one or more persons, a place, or an object, it is usually followed by some form of adversity or misfortune. Sometimes as a result of a curse technique bad luck or death may and at some point will befall or attach to the said entity or the unfortunate victim, though it varies upon the technique used by the said user. In particular Jujutsu is a type of jutsu that uses supernatural forces or powers such as a spell, a prayer, an imprecation, an execration, witchcraft, a god, a natural force, or a spirit to inflict hurt or harm upon a specific target or object. In many belief systems, the curse itself (or accompanying ritual) is considered to have some causative force in the result. In the Jashin cultists case they are able to use Jujutsu by worshipping their god Jashin.

Preta a member of the Jashin cult has also found an alternative way to use curse related jutsu by using the mystic arts to summon spirits into the real world. Hidan originally an acolyte of the Jashin Cult and later a member of the Akatsuki gained pseudo immortality meaning that he was unable to die and could survive numerous fatal injuries, and almost any form of dismemberment;, this was a result of extensive experimenting with the Jashin religion's various jutsu.

Preta has also gained a sort of Pesudo immortality due to his years of loyalty to the Jashin cult and its religion as well as having done extensive research with Jujutsu related technique, the exact workings of his so called immortality is unknown.
