FUUINJUTSU (Sealing Techniques)

[☆ F ☆]

Fūinjutsu (封印術, Sealing Jutsu) are a type of jutsu that seal objects, living beings, chakra, along with a wide variety of other things within another object. Fūinjutsu can also be used to restrict movement or unseal objects either from within something or someone. These techniques represent a type of space/time jutsu that can seal away virtually any object, living beings, chakra, or item for as long as the user wants, and as long as chakra is available. An imbalance is created when an odd-numbered seal is placed on top of an even-numbered seal, and vice-versa, which is why the art of sealing and its knowledge as a whole is only imparted onto a select few. The presence of a seal is marked by the appearance of formations of technique formulae, kanji, or else other kinds of symbols. A unison of barrier ninjutsu and fūinjutsu is referred to as a "Sealing Barrier" (封印結界, Fūin Kekkai), and it isn't uncommon for some barriers to require specialized sealing techniques. In a similar fashion to genjutsu, fūinjutsu can be undone by combining specific seals with a Fūinjutsu: Release (封印術・解, Fūinjutsu: Kai, literally meaning: Sealing Technique: Release) command.

Fūnyū no Jutsu (Enclosing Technique)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: One of the most basic and essential sealing techniques, a wide variety of objects and even living things can be stored within scrolls, and can be released when the scroll is opened or meets a specific condition using this technique's counterpart, Kaifū. Aside from items, it is possible to seal ninjutsu into a scroll. To save chakra, instead of sealing a nature element into a scroll that was created through chakra, one could just use pre-existing nature elements, like water from an ocean, and seal it within the scroll, or for the skilled users, another person's use of that chakra. Though a scroll is the most common use of sealing something, this technique can be used to seal things into a small sheet of paper too.



Kaifū no Jutsu (Unsealing Technique)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: One of the most basic and essential sealing techniques, this is used by shinobi to unseal whatever weapons, items, or attacks that have been sealed within a scroll, or a sheet of paper. This is the counterpart to Fūnyū, and makes up one of the two essential techniques every sealing type must know in order to use Fuuinjutsu effectively.



Shikoku Fūin (Finger Carving Seal)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: The user concentrates chakra into their finger and using the heat from that, can apply writing of whatever type of sealing scripture they want to a surface. However, this technique requires the user to be very delicate with their chakra control, as it can cause slight discomfort for a living target and, if used to inscribe onto flesh, it will scar.



Fūbaku Hōjin (Sealed Binding Formation)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: The Sealed Binding Formation (封縛法陣, Fūbaku Hōjin) is a capture technique (捕縛術, hobaku jutsu). An array of sealing tags are placed around an area that can be activated with a handseal in order to attempt to bind the target. If the target possesses less chakra power than the user, the binding is effective; however, an attempt to escape can still be made. As such, the binding is only as powerful as the user is relative to their victim's chakra potential. Since the target is unable to move, another individual will then be able to attack them with no problem. These tags can be deactivated by the user at any given moment.



Fūkoku Hōin (Dark Sealing Method)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: This technique is often used in conjunction with the Four Black Fogs Formation. After the individual and the Black Fogs have been placed within a confined space, such as a coffin or barrel, the user places five talisman tags, each inscribed with sealing formulas written in their own blood, around the coffin's rim. This completely seals the coffin, keeping the Black Fogs contained. So long as the seals are in place, even doujutsu are unable to see within it. Because the seals are inscribed in the caster's blood, only the death of the caster can undo the seal. The user themselves can, however, dispel this at any time.



Fūin Teppeki (Sealed Iron Wall)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive, Supplementary
Description: A seal placed on a door or gate to protect against intruders from the outside world. Two objects, such as statues, are placed on either side of the gate to reinforce the seal. Only people whom the caster deems worthy have access to enter due to the chakra placed within the technique. However, a powerful enough physical strike that overwhelms this techniques defensive capabilities can break through.



Zekka Konzetsu no In (Cursed Tongue Eradication)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: This cursed seal is placed on a target to ensure no information they know, that the user wishes to suppress, falls into the wrong hands. When the wearer of this cursed seal speaks about anything related to what the caster wants to keep hidden, their entire body will be paralyzed, taking away their ability to speak or move. It is applied to the tongue and takes the shape of three solid lines and two broken lines from the back of the tongue to the tip. Only upon the caster's death will the seal disappear permanently.



Chakura Kontorōru: Baku (Chakra Control: Bind)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: A retraining technique, the user places a seal on a person. When the target gets near a sealing tag, the target will be secured by chakra threads, binding them in place. The technique can last for hours on its own, though if the user can conjure a strong enough burst of chakra, they stand a chance of escaping their bindings.



CJigen Shiki no Jutsu (Time Release Technique)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: By placing a mark on a person in a ritualistic method, this technique will activate a timer meant to release a specific action or jutsu regardless of the person's will, even if the person is tortured or put under a trance. This is meant to catch an enemy when their guard is down. Considered a last resort technique, experienced seal users liken it to a living time bomb.



Nunoshibari no Jutsu (Cloth Binding Technique)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: A retraining technique, the user uses a giant roll of cloth to tightly wrap up the intended opponent, completely immobilizing them so that they may place a sealing tag on them that will compliment this technique, thus preventing them from moving or using any techniques. The ability itself is versatile as once completed, the addition of further seals can be placed on top of the bound victims, further preventing them from moving or performing any techniques that may help them escape, which essentially serves to suppress their chakra use.



Fūja Hōin (Evil Sealing Method)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: This technique suppresses the power of a certain seals intended to provide an immense chakra or stamina boost. Because applying these seals in the first place requires a great deal of skill, suppressing one with this technique also requires a great deal of skill. The preparations needed for this technique are quite arduous. First, the user will write several long lines of symbols in their own blood, which trail from the cursed seal through the surrounding area. Once this is completed and the technique is activated, the symbols converge towards and surround the seal, the blood acting as a chain that prevents the power of the seal from spreading. Applying the Evil Sealing Method is quite painful, and recipients are likely to pass out after receiving it. It is important that the Evil Sealing Method can only suppress these boosting seals, not remove them. Its power also relies on the will of the recipient. If the recipient wants it to work, then it will fight off the boosting seal's effects as much as it can; on the contrary, if the user would rather the boosting seal activated, the Evil Sealing Method will be powerless to prevent it. If the boosting seal is ever removed, the Evil Sealing Method is removed as well.



Kaija Hōin (Evil Releasing Method)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: The Evil Releasing Method is a direct counterpart to the Evil Sealing Method. It is used to release technique-induced seals on a person rather than sealing it. Compared to the Evil Sealing Method, the Evil Releasing Method requires far less preparation. As such, this seal can accelerate the releasing of induced seals, and even boost their performance.



Gogyō Fūin (Five Elements Seal)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: By gathering "wicked" chakra into the user's five fingertips, they will forcefully apply over another seal. When this Five Elements Seal, being of an odd number, is applied over the Four Symbols Seal, being of an even number, the Four Symbols Seal is disrupted because of the odd—even imbalance. In some cases, the victim loses access to the chakra granted to them by a sealed entity - which the Four Symbols Seal keeps stored in his body - and furthermore makes it difficult for them to use their own chakra. When the Five Elements Seal is initially applied, the victim is rendered unconscious.



Gogyō Kaiin (Five Elements Unseal)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: A direct counterpart to the Five Element Seal, this technique removes such seals that are of similar power to itself. The user gathers chakra to their fingertips and hits the fingers against the seal that is to be removed, causing it to unravel and disappear. If the seal was applied to a person, the thrust of the hand that accompanies this technique will likely be painful.



Kyōmen Shūja no Jutsu (Mirrored Sudden Attacker Technique)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Description: This technique is meant to be used in conjunction with the Five-Seal Barrier technique. Once the barrier is place, this sealing technique is placed, and will trigger automatically when the "forbidden" tags from the Five-Seal Barrier technique are removed. An exact copy of the person who removed the tag appears with their appearance, weapons, battle skills, and so on. Because the double has a fixed amount of stamina and doesn't feel exhaustion, it has an advantage in a drawn-out battle. In order to cancel this technique and defeat their copy, the one who removed the tag has no choice but to somehow push past the previous limits that they had at the time they removed the tag, or manage to fight their clone in an unconventional fighting style they normally would not engage in.



Fūinjutsu: Shishi Heikō (Sealing Technique - Lion Closing Roar)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: This sealing technique completely blocks the target's chakra with a sealing formula (封印式, fūin-shiki) drawn on the ground or a wall. This is done by closing all the tenketsu of the person caught in the middle. When the target is sealed, a stylised kanji for "close" or "shut" (閉, hei) appears in the middle of the sealing formula. To successfully seal the target, one has to get them exactly inside the sealing formula. This task requires great accuracy and is very difficult to accomplish. Various methods can be used to make this easier. For instance, one can prepare a puppet or a ninja tool to deploy this technique, such as one that can be used to pin a target down.



Keiyaku Fūin (Contract Seal)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: When the user implements this fūinjutsu on a summoned creature, it removes any direct control the original summoner has over it. Close contact appears to be required for the implementation of the seal. Though the Contract Seal removes the summoner's ability to control its summon, it does not give the user of the fūinjutsu the ability to control the summon in turn. Doing this however, seems to negate the time limit that a controlled summoning creature is in the present place. As such, this seal effectively unsummons a traditionally summoned creature, and leaves it unavailable for immediate use for a period of time.



Fūinjutsu: Kai (Sealing Technique - Release)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Description: This technique is a counter-measure that can be used to undo fūinjutsu that may be binding the user. By placing their hand atop the seal, it activates, nullifying the effects of the fūinjutsu casted on them. It's important to note not all seals can be undone, especially if the seal was applied by a user whose chakra prowess is greater than the caster of this technique.



Ura Shishō Fūin (Reverse Four Symbols Sealing)
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Description: The Reverse Four Symbols Sealing is a powerful fūinjutsu activated upon the user's death. The user must, beforehand, place the seal across their chest. Upon activation, it releases four symbols from the user's own blood that then forms a large, black sphere around them. Anything caught inside the sphere's area is then drawn in and sealed within the user's corpse. Effectively, this allows the user one last attack, taking any nearby down with them.



Konshin Betsuri no Jutsu (Soul Body Separation Technique)
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Description: With the aid of a tag, the user creates a seal which affects a certain area around it, removing the 'soul' of the target from its body if they were to enter the area and remain for too long. As a result, the soul is sealed within the tag. If someone comes in contact with the tag or removes it from its place, or if they kill the caster of this seal, the soul will be released. Until then, the soul is visible and audible to the person who touched the tag, but has no initial memory of their past life.



Fūjutsu Kyūin (Blocking Technique Absorption Seal)
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive, Supplementary
Description: A highly advanced sealing technique that conjures a see-through barrier around the user's body capable of absorbing almost any chakra, regardless of any shape or nature transformation, and dispersing it within one's body by spinning the chakra within one's body in the opposite direction. As a result, this technique can absorb most ninjutsu-based techniques, rendering them ineffective on the user. Keep in mind that if the chakra that the user tries to absorb is greater than their own, the user can be overwhelmed by the attempt, and the incoming ninjutsu could amplify in power and thus hurt the user even more.
