From the looks of this prompt:
root@kali:/home# tar -xjSf netkit-2.8.tar.bz2
You're not in the directory where the .tar.bz2 file is located. Confirm that the file is in this location. You likely need to cd ~ to get back to your /home/kali directory which is probably where your netkit-2.8.tar.bz2` file is located.
If you've resolved this issue, then the next would be the filename you're using:
root@kali:/home/slimshady/netkit2# ls netkit-filesystem-i386-F5.2.tar.bz2
Based on this, notice the file name, so the tar command should be:
$ tar jxSf netkit-filesystem-i386-F5.2.tar.bz2
