: Re: How does one go about describing someone doing Naruto like hand symbols? Like how do I describe if someone is doing symbols with their hands like this? I want to describe specific hand formation

I am going to expand on a part of Galastel's answer.

Robert Jordan managed to abstract a whole fighting style by stamina stances and moves words. He would write something like "He shifted from Parting the Wave to Charging Bull.." We do not know what those things mean exactly, but we can get aa mental image.

With hand gestures this is a hundred times easier. Considering that in Naruto they are pretty much spell casting and not fighting the movements just have some meaning. You can simply write "He made the symbols: serpent, rain, death with his fingers, as fire erupted all around" The reader will get the mental image that you are looking for.
