[Fuuin] Fūinjutsu - Iᴍᴘᴇяғᴇᴄᴛ
- Thread starter Imperfect
- Start date
I was genuinely planning on not replying until 2021, but I think 2 months is enough time for you to learn the lesson to not insult my fragile little self. Apologies for the delay. I'm just as bad at responding to my own shit than I am to others...
Okay, so, I'll just come out and admit it, I have trouble wrapping my head around the intricacies of Sealing, so I'm going to refer to the ability rule thread, and do my best to break down my understanding of it as I read through it, and boil it down to the most basic elements I can understand. However, as a starting point, I do understand that Sealing is used to seal things.
From physical objects and things like tools all the way to other Jutsu, all the way up to more metaphysical concepts, such as Chakra, one's own memories, psyche, and that infinite technicolor rainbow in-between, these are what's known as the "Target" of the Sealing technique. Examples of this would range from Tenten's scrolls which contain tools, to Kabuto sealing cadavers within his own scrolls, to Kushina and Minato sealing imprints of themselves within Naruto, which would be released upon the Nine Tail's seal becoming undone, willingly or not.
As far as I can tell, the next part would be the "Binding" of a sealing technique, which is essentially the script which envelops the Target, and seals it. From the gif shown in the Fuinjutsu Ability Rule thread, it shows an Uzumaki Elder weaving seals, before placing their hand on the ground as the sealing script travels to his Target, which I assume is some form of animal. This would then be sealed within the next part of a Sealing technique.
Regardless of what's sealed, it must be contained within some form of medium. In the case of Ninja Tools, other Jutsu, etc, you would typically use a scroll, and for more advanced concepts, they can be more unique mediums, such as yourself (Which, as I understand it, is now sealed behind Kinjutsu and Advanced Fuinjutsu). Danzo's seal he used at the end of his fight with Sasuke is an example of this, as had the seal placed onto his body, and it activated in the moments leading up to his death, with the seal activating at that point, and not only pulling himself, but also everything within the vicinity into a singularity-like pull, crushing everything, such as his body, to prevent people using it to learn the secrets of his and Orochimaru's experiments. This would be the "Medium" or "Vessel" of a Sealing technique.
Then there are two potentially optional parts of a Sealing Technique, the "Trigger" and the "Key". In regards to a trigger, the only one that comes to mind is the one that the rules mention; Danzo's Juuinjutsu, which is applied to members of Root, and activate upon them speaking of him in almost any manner, to prevent information about him from being leaked. This, I guess, would be an audible trigger, but I have to assume others exist, such as timed triggers, hand-seal-based triggers, etc. The key is, essentially, the same thing, but in reverse, undoing the seal, and bringing forth what has been sealed.
As for the last one the rules mention, personally I think it's not relevant to mention. Sealing Techniques are an advanced form of Ninjutsu, so, to me, it's only natural they would utilize and consume Chakra to perform, maintain and release. I guess the reason why this is mentioned is to point out that a Jinchuriki's Chakra is used to maintain their Tailed Beast's respective seal, not the sealer, but I can't see why that would otherwise be relevant to Sealing techniques. Just strikes me as common sense.
Finally, I'm aware that Barriers are, for some inexplicable reason, considered Sealing Techniques, but this is where my brain does not compute, and just gives up, as they aren't sealing anything. Only example I know creates a barely translucent field around the user in a certain radius, and notifies them of anything entering it's area of effect. If you could explain this to me in the simplest manner possible, you could save my poor brain from blowing up.
And that about sums up my understanding of Fuinjutsu, and it's 6 component parts.

Very detailed and accurate. I'll just hit on your last question. Honestly, I couldn't really tell you. Barrier Ninjutsu and Fuuinjutsu are two separate fields, though they aren't necessarily mutually exclusive either. Barrier Ninjutsu is itself a somewhat more advanced field compared to just regular Ninjutsu, and it's likely been just paired on NB for the sake of simplicity rather than anything else. But i can't really go back to 2012 or 2013 when that decision was made and know the exact reason why. But what I can tell you is that Barrier Fuuinjutsu is a field in itself that does exist. You're probably pretty familiar with this example, but the one that immediately comes to mind is the Infinite Embraces. It is a barrier that absorbs chakra of those within it, and seals their abilities.
Another reason is that often times Barrier Ninjutsu employs seals to produce its effects. And a good segue into our first technique;
( Isshi Tōjin ) - Light String Formation
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15
Damage: 30
Description: This barrier is designed to prevent anyone from leaving its confines. Once within a certain range of the person, the user erects the barrier underfoot rendering anyone within the seals, incapable of escaping. Should the user use on someone of a higher rank than him, than the effects will be null. However, should 2 or more barriers are combined, then the effects will be increased one rank ( Kages would effect Sages now, for example ).
This is a perfect example of another Barrier Fuuinjutsu.

Didn't think about it that way. Thanks, does make sense in a small way now, remembering that barriers can act like Seals, with siphoning abilities.
So, for this first technique, it's the one Iruka tried to use to keep Naruto from running to the War after he beat Kisame, and found out about it. Your medium would be the surface beneath your target, and the target itself would be another being. Once erected, it prevents physical movements, provided the target isn't stronger than yourself, and if they are, you can "stack" them with multiple users probably, for example clones, to increase the strength of the seal. Unlike Infinite Embraces though this is purely restrictive of a target's physical actions, and so does nothing about their Chakra, which is what allowed Naruto to escape it himself by activating the Nine Tails Chakra Mode. Only question I really have about this is why does it deal damage, if it's Supplementary, lol.

Great question. And after a brief chat with LoK about it we determined that the damage on it didn't belong at all. My initial reaction to it had been that the damage represented a threshold that had to be exceeded to overpower the barrier, since its actually a pretty weak barrier. But nah, was just a typo.
( Fuuinjutsu: Kōmu Kekkaijutsu ) - Sealing Arts: Crimson Mist Barrier Jutsu
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 15
Damage: N/A
Description: By summoning a thick wall of mist, the user can impair sight for all within it. It also masks any sound from being heard outside of the mist. The effectiveness of this technique varies between users as it depends on the user's skill. Starting at Chunnin rank, this lasts for 1 turn and can be extended 1 turn per rank increase up to Kage rank (6 turns). Chunnin and Special Jounin can use this up to Short range, Jounin and S-class Ninja can use this up to Mid range and Sannin and up can extend this to long range.

Okay, simple Short - Long Range mist that has the added effect of preventing sounds from escaping. A bit is lost in translation from the old Rank system, but as a Jonin, I'd assume you get the 6 turns, and Long Range as part of your usage, and just work back from there. It's nice that there are alternatives to this kind of technique, like the ones in Water Release, but beyond that, very simple.
Yeah, for now just round up or down for it and correlate them to how a rank would be today.
(Kekkai: Tengai Hojin) - Barrier: Dome Method Formation
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short- Mid
Chakra cost: 20 (- 10 per turn to keep active)
Damage points: N/A
Description: After clapping ones hands, this technique creates a spherical detection barrier above ground with the user at the center. At the user's command, the detection barrier can expand, grasping everything in the battle field. The user is able to detect anything that moves inside the barrier space with his or her own "sense".
Jiraiya's technique. Do you think this could sense a Hayabusa?

Remember Zaph popping this in my MS Test with him. Creates a barrier around you that relays information regarding to things moving within it back to the user.
That feels like a bit of a trick question to be honest. I remember that Hayabusa cannot be detected outside of the basic 5 senses, so since this relies on an external technique to achieve that, I'd say no. But then you read that last part, and it mentions that they detect things with their own "sense", which kind of makes me second guess that. I'm going to stick with my first instinct though, seeing as Hayabusa's wording seems very clear, while this technique only mentions sensory in relation to the user sensing it, but not how. If it's not sight, sound, hearing, etc, then, as far as I'm aware of how the Hayabusa work, I don't think it'd be able to sense them.

This won't be able to detect Hayabusa, so good there. This isn't an extension of your sense of touch, or any of the other basic 5 senses; and so it'd be pretty powerless against a Hayabusa member. That said, you could make a custom that can overcome it.
(Kekkai Houjin) - Barrier Method Battle Array
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: Kekkai Houjin is a high-level Fuuinjutsu trap technique. An array of explosive markers is jointly placed around the boundary of an area. If any opponent walks through the boundary, the seals will activate and explode.
This one is pretty obvious, so I'll put down two here.
( Kekkai Kireme no Jutsu ) - Barrier Shatter Technique
Rank: B - S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 20 - 40
Damage: N/A
Description: The user will insert their chakra into a active barrier to then interfere with the source and cancel the barrier shattering its shell.
Note: Must make direct contact. Regular Fuuinjutsu users can dispel Barrier Techniques B-Rank and below. Uzumaki bios can dispel up to A-Rank. Advanced Sealing Specialists can dispel up to S rank Barriers.
This is surprisingly potent, and partially what served as inspiration for Mystic Fire.

First one is as basic as an Offensive Sealing Technique comes. In the Storm games, Iruka uses it as an area-denial Jutsu. Step over it, it blows up. Wait long enough and it detonates automatically. Glad to see this doesn't define a time limit, so it could be set up at the start of a match, and used sneakily, or could be utilized in a more defensive manner, like a defense for a Village in the Ninja World. Not a lot to it, but there's versatility, which I like.
Been a while since I read your CE, so I can't quite connect the dots, lol. Nice technique though. Depending on it's rank, you can destroy a Barrier Jutsu by expending the equivalent Chakra. Probably a lot of uses for it, but since the only barriers I'm really aware of atm are that Sensory one we just covered, and Infinite Embraces, I'm at a loss on actual usage examples. Still a solid technique with a concise application and purpose.

I think it's hard to think of examples because of how criminally underused Barrier Ninjutsu is used. I think the easiest canon Barrier to use is the Uchiha Flame Formation.
(Fusen no Kekkai) Tag Barrier
Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: B-rank
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user will take a tag marked with the kanjis 障害 (Shōgai) and either place it on a weapon (like wrapped around a kunai's handle) or on a surface (like the ground). Upon doing so, a defensive spherical barrier is erected around the tag as a seal. The barrier can be used to defend against up to B-Rank ninjutsu but also be used to contain an enemy inside if feasible.
This one is pretty obvious. But what do you think you could do with it? Custom wise, or canon wise. You basically use this technique to achieve a strengthened defense to something that would otherwise have no defense. The example used in the technique is a Kunai, but it honestly could be applied to anything logical. Just remember you're erecting a defensive spherical barrier around it; the range is short, which means that is the maximum range it can go. If you put this seal on the ground do you think it would go underground too when it formed its sphere?
(Mugen Hōyō) - Infinate Embrace
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 20 (-50 per turn to the target, +30 to user)
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user slams his hands on the ground and generates a special barrier that surrounds the target forming a "cuboid" construct of pink chakra which begins draining the chakra of the target caught inside. This technique can be used in conjunction with shadow rope technique or other restrictive techniques to further hinder the target. Once caught inside it, the target cannot mold chakra above S-rank and the barrier itself can only be broken by B-Rank techniques or by attacking the user of the technique.
Here's another one. The weaker version of IE is pretty useless, if you ask me. You stop Forbidden ranked techniques, but the barrier itself is broken by a fart in the wind. That said, what customs could you make off of it? Do you think it has any purpose there? This is probably the most classic example of Barrier Fuuinjutsu.

So, thinking about potential uses, the standard stuff would come to mind. B-Rank defensive qualities for a weapon, but like it says at the end, it can also be used to trap enemies within something, like Edo's for example, as it's one of the only ways to neutralize them. Like, make a coffin out of Earth Release, then slap this over the top, and it'd be harder to break out of, yeah? Not impossible by any means, but certainly harder than just pushing the "lid" off in this example. As for your question, I'd say no from how I'm picturing. It "wraps around" the target, so that implies it's external to whatever it's applied to.And if the dimensions are larger than the seal from the tag allows, it'd fail, or at least, that's how I see it.
In regards to Customs I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's been done to death, as despite only learning it now, it's reputation has more than preceded it. Yup, I still remember. Kurogakure. I tried melting the island, you GG'd me in one move. I lost an arm, and got a sweet permanent tattoo in the form of a branded scar. Good times.
Honestly though, since you asked, the idea of a barrier that drains Chakra from it's target while they're inside's pretty cool. If it were me, I'd probs try and make one that worked on contact, a barrier around myself that stole Chakra from targets I hit directly. No doubt already been done, and not very imaginative honestly, but that's the first thing that came to mind. And yeah, the fact that this technique itself doesn't restrict the target, only limits F-Rank, and only needs a B-Rank to break is pretty mild.

Though trapping an actual enemy in this at its B-Rank strength is pretty impractical. The wrapping part actually references the tag itself, not the barrier. The barrier is a sphere. So based on the technique's description it would form a short-range spherical barrier with the tag as the center of it.
It hasn't been done to death in the form of customs. There's a lot you could still do, you'd just need some creativity if you ever wanted to attempt to create things based off of it.
(Fuuinjutsu: Kami Komyunikēshon) Sealing Arts: Scroll Communication technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: B-Rank
Range: N/A
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A
Description:
The user will create 2 or more scrolls with an embedded sealing formula that connects them all together. As such, anything written in one scroll will appear written in all the connected scrolls. A very useful communication technique, it can connect scrolls regardless of the distance between them. To activate the scroll, the user needs to perform a key of hand seals that will be unique for each creation and only known to those the user wishes, preventing the use of the scrolls by those the user doesn't allow.
This one is obvious, and I doubt I really need to say much about it. You can pick the hand seals so others can't figure out how to use it should they ever steal it off your person. Which has some interesting potential for other customs.
( Fūin Fuda ) – Sealing Tag
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: A basic sealing technique where the user places one or more tags either directly on a target or on a technique which is restraining it. As its placed, a sealing formula spreads around the technique or the target, sealing it. This technique has been seen used with Sand ninjutsu, Earth, Water, Wood, Cloth Ninjutsu, etc but basically any technique in which you can apply the tags can be used. In the case of expert ninjas, the tags might even be incorporated into the restraining technique, with no need to actually manually place the tag or tags. Additionally, less experienced ninjas can find that throwing one or more kunais with the sealing tags attached at the technique which will trigger the same effect when the kunais stick on the technique. This prevents the target from moving, molding chakra or even being summoned.
Note: The seal takes a while to form, so most opponents can either counter the restraining technique (thus preventing the sealing formula of taking effect) or rip off the tags from themselves negating its effects entirely. If the target, however, fails to counter the restraining technique or is counter to it fails or if he doesn't remove the tags in his next move, then the seal will fully be placed and the target unable to release himself.
Note: This technique is specially designed to be used on summons and Edo Tensei Summons but will work on any opponent except Jinchurikiis.
Okay, this is a relatively important one. You have two ways to deliver it: through a restraining technique, or through actual physical contact. So the delivery system for this technique is actually very easy to achieve, and one of the easiest among all Fuuin techniques. Especially since what is considered a technique that is 'restraining' is pretty broad. Once placed, the tag takes a full turn to activate. So you either destroy the restraining technique, or the tag itself. Note that it says they can rip it off. That's a pretty simple way to take care of it. So what are the weaknesses you need to overcome when it comes to this technique? How do you capitalize on its strengths, and there are many, without making it useless through its weaknesses?
It hasn't been done to death in the form of customs. There's a lot you could still do, you'd just need some creativity if you ever wanted to attempt to create things based off of it.

Okay, this is a relatively important one. You have two ways to deliver it: through a restraining technique, or through actual physical contact. So the delivery system for this technique is actually very easy to achieve, and one of the easiest among all Fuuin techniques. Especially since what is considered a technique that is 'restraining' is pretty broad. Once placed, the tag takes a full turn to activate. So you either destroy the restraining technique, or the tag itself. Note that it says they can rip it off. That's a pretty simple way to take care of it. So what are the weaknesses you need to overcome when it comes to this technique? How do you capitalize on its strengths, and there are many, without making it useless through its weaknesses?
Yeah, the ability to utilize a non-canon, or otherwise unknown key/ trigger for a seal could probably have a lot of uses. Just the option to choose it for yourself is nice enough. Anyway, this technique links two scrolls, and lets the people holding them, provided they know the seals to unlock it, communicate with one another through the scrolls, regardless of distance. Nice way of keeping in touch with allies, and as a quick way of assembling.
Second tech is cool, despite it's relative ease of neutralizing. Slap it on a target, or something restraining a target, and after 1 turn, if they're still restrained, or haven't found a way to remove it, or neutralize it, they're rendered, for all intents and purposes, useless. Can't move, use Chakra, be summoned out of the seal, etc, so it's a confirmed capture at that point. Personally I'd use this after restraining my opponent in some other fashion, preferably something that makes it harder to destroy the tag. Alternatively, you could try and increase the durability of the tag, and see if it's strong enough that the opponent can't destroy it. As it is, Nagashi, and techniques like it that deal omnidirectional damage from the entire body can just destroy it, no matter where it's placed. That was my first thought to be honest, placing it somewhere it can't easily be removed, like on the opponents back. A lot to take into account when thinking about how you'd apply this, and how you'd break out of it yourself, and ways you can mitigate those methods for the opponent. Nice technique, though one I'd probably use sparingly, since I'd more than likely just end up wasting the Chakra.

( Chakra Haisui Fūin no Jutsu ) – Chakra Suppression Seal Technique
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user places this seal on the forehead of a Jinchuuriki influenced by the powers of a Bijuu, to forcibly cause the Bijuu's powers to recede. The Jinchuuriki becomes exhausted after this happens.
Note: This can only restrict Jinchuuriki in their Incomplete form, not when they completely transform into the Bijuu.
( Han'you Fūin ) - Generic Sealing Technique
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary , Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique is a standard ninja skill which allows a ninja to summon an assortment of items or weapons that have been stored using Fūinjutsu,typically they are stored within scrolls. When needed, the owner will activate the seals releasing their item or weapon of choice. Scrolls can also be used as ammunition for other weapons. The items themselves are unaffected by time. This Technique allows the user to seal any weapons they wish being their own or opponents.
Note: Cannot seal opponent's custom weapons, or the special weapons of a particular character ( example: Samehada or Kubikiribocho ).
Note: Can only seal corpses, and not injured people regardless of the extent of their injury.
On and on we go. Both of these have low use and practicality. The second one should have its note expanded to really go into things like Sage Weapons, Akatsuki seals, and other extremely special items. But yeah, I wouldn't try to use it on those types of items.

Yeah, getting close enough to a Jinchuuriki to use it, while avoiding what they throw at you, whether it's Tailed Beast infused Jutsu, or things like Lava, is probably hard enough as it is. Convincing them you're placing this seal on their forehead for their benefit is probably even harder. I agree. Probably won't ever find a need to use this.
This one's more useful, clearly, but because of it's generic nature it's also kind of useless for the most part. 20 Chakra to summon a weapon, or ammunition for one? You can just save yourself the Chakra and say you carry a sword, or arrows for your bow. Provided you don't drop them into an ocean, you can even use them! But yeah, it's good for convenience if you don't want to carry a lot of things, but not much else. And yeah, I agree. If it's not generic to a certain degree, trying to use this on a target item will probably just end up with you, again, wasting Chakra, and probably getting the technique restricted in specific ways.

Interesting that a trigger doesn't need to be something that comes from you yourself, like a command from your own Chakra. Having seals respond to an enemy's Chakra, not even necessarily the opponent themselves, is also a concept that could be utilized in creative ways, though I can't think of many ways personally to take advantage of this. Extent of my creativity is applying this to the ground, then using another Jutsu to move the earth, bringing the Seal into proximity with the opponent by force.
If I'm not mistaken, this is the technique they used to prepare Sasuke for awakening his Cursed Mark, though I agree it's pretty lackluster. Would be better if it was updated, increasing the duration, and was used more like a tool to temporarily stabilize serious conditions in a target, not necessarily an opponent. Also, Range: Close? Lol.

Yeah, I don't know. Just ignore it and move on. It desperately needs updated.
