Ok, this post is about both the Tensei clan jutsu in general and Kaori’s specific abilities. It might end up being kinda long, but you don’t have to read the whole thing if you don’t want to. 
The Tensei Clan
The most basic concept of the Tensei clan’s jutsu can be found in the meaning of their name: “heavenly voice”. Highly skilled musicians and performers, the Tensei clan specializes in sound-and-sight-based Genjutsu and high-level jutsu combinations (more on those later). The basic idea is that by channeling chakra through one’s voice (basic), body movement (intermediate), or both (advanced), the user creates a nearly inescapable “web” of Genjutsu that ensnares its target. Using subtle Genjutsu to manipulate and strengthen the target’s emotions (keep in mind that one would not be able to instill in someone an emotion they aren’t feeling at the moment; they have to work with their target provides them) to such an extent that the target is completely under the user’s control is considered the finest art of the clan (Note that this is very difficult, and not many out of the clan can do it. Also, while teammates and anyone who reads enough archives knows the truth of this particular art, everyone else simply knows that the Tensei clan uses music jutsu). The user can also "fuel" the genjutsu with their own emotions and, when these feelings are strong enough, this can create some of the most powerful Tensei jutsu. A more "harmless" aspect of the genjutsu is that when singing or playing one instrument, all the backup instruments and vocals seem to come out of nowhere. There's no such thing as karaoke CDs for Tensei clan members, they just need their own chakra.
Of course, for a balanced fighter, Genjutsu simply isn’t enough, and not everyone excels in Taijutsu. Because of that the Tensei clan have refined the combination of multiple jutsu to a precise and delicate art. Combining three or four simple jutsu to create a powerful effect is within the grasp of the average Tensei, while the exceptional can manage five or six (note that the more powerful the individual jutsu are, the harder it is to combine them). While this causes clan members to be powerful fighters, they tend to lose stamina more quickly than other shinobi due to the constant molding and shaping of chakra and the added stress of maintaining and weaving together several jutsu at once. On the plus side, this has led clan members to develop a high level of chakra control, and because of this and their ability with jutsu in general, they are considered by some to be ideal for Medical Specialists (note that the same goes for combos as it does for genjutsu: most people simply know that Tensei members tend to be good at combining jutsu, and that they do it a lot).
As you may have guessed, the Tensei clan is very secretive. They don’t like having their secrets out in the open, and thus will only show their true powers when it’s absolutely necessary. Kaori is no exception to this.
Kaori’s Jutsu
Kaori has mastered the arts of the Tensei clan (in fact, with the passing of her older brother, she was to be head of the clan until she was chosen as Hokage) and is said to be Konoha’s best medical specialist, and possibly one of the best in generations. In addition to the jutsu she learned in her training, she has invented medical jutsu of her own, some of which have become standard procedure among medics. She has created a special medicine that only she knows how to make, and she keeps it with her constantly in a vial around her neck. It is an extremely potent “heal-all” for injuries, so to speak, but the almost violent healing brought about by this medicine consume much, if not all of the patient’s energy, possibly killing them – depending on physical condition, of course. She wears her hair up most of the time, and holds it in place with poisoned hairsticks sharper than hypodermic needles. The swirly seals on her face are Tensei jutsu and releasing them springs a rather unpleasant trap for its target. The same can be said for her larger earring, though that is an original jutsu. Among her original medical jutsu are:
Iryou Ninpou-Konpuriito Shindan (Medical Ninja style-Complete Diagnosis) - Using delicately applied chakra, the user can instantly determine the physical status of a patient. Anything from minor cuts or bruises to major wounds and even illness or infection (though the last two require a little more chakra) can be detected with this jutsu.
Jikokensa no Jutsu (Self-Diagnosis Technique) – The same as the above, but this requires less chakra and is for use on oneself.
Zenchi no Jutsu (Complete Recovery Technique) – Used when the patient has multiple wounds. By spreading chakra in a pattern following the chakra circulatory and circulatory systems, this jutsu aids in the healing of multiple wounds at once. It does take more time and chakra than traditional healing, though, and should be used only in a situation that allows for this.
Kiryoku Fuuin (Vitality Seal) – On Kaori’s forehead there is a diamond seal: a black diamond outlined in red. This large red diamond is the Kiryoku Fuuin, and its effects can actually be transferred to another person. Energy is stored there similar to Tsunade’s forehead seal and then released when it is needed. Kaori developed this jutsu to combat the energy-consuming effects of her special medicine. By transferring her own sealed energy to the patient (even herself, should the situation arise), less energy is required from the patient and thus he or she is spared from the unpleasant and dangerous side effects.
That’s all I have now. Keep in mind that, as I was saying earlier, most people probably won’t know all of this – especially the specifics of the jutsu – but they’ll have at least a general idea. Or something. Hope you’ve enjoyed reading my jutsu thread! ;D
Random note/edit thingy: Because of their experience with music and performing, Tensei clan members always seem to be singing when speaking, and they appear to be dancing when moving. Even standing still they look graceful. Kaori in particular enjoys this, and her musical voice usually has a soothing, relaxing sound to it.
