Description: While Lords of the Outer Night is active, the user will focus their chakra throughout their transformed body to lose their “solidity”. The dark chakra which composes them will assume it’s usual intangible state but unless willed otherwise, will retain the shape of the user’s body/form so that there’s no tell or sign that a technique has been used. This initial part of the technique is as fast as a standard chakraless Taijutsu technique as the preparation component is voided by having the body already transformed into dark. It’s an extremely simple maneuver as all it does is revert the dark chakra which composes their body into it’s natural state of intangibility. As such, it’s fast enough to be performed in close quarters combat. Upon coming into physical contact with the opponent in this state, that part of the opponent’s body will pass through the dark chakra. Of course, this contact will drain a portion of their chakra due to dark’s inherent absorption abilities. The chakra drain stated in Outer Night is exacerbated as rather than grazing contact, part of their body will be surrounded by and effectively submerged in the dark chakra. As a result, a considerable portion of their chakra will be drained (100 chakra points).This is simply a byproduct of the technique and not it’s true purpose for being used. Due to the intangibility of the dark chakra, while they pass through it, a small portion of it will pass into them and linger inside their body (similar to genjutsu). The dark chakra will essentially constitute an “infection” which resides inside of the victim’s body to drain their chakra and effect their vitality. This infection is equivalent to the rank of this technique and will become more malignant the more time passes as it feeds off the opponent’s chakra to strengthen itself. It will consume twice as much chakra every turn, starting at a base of 20 on the turn of infection. While this is active, the opponent will be unable to use techniques S-Rank and above. To rid themselves of this “infection”, the chakra can be purged with a full body surge. The slight twist is that the surge must abide Dark’s elemental S/W to be successful. The surge must be one rank higher if it’s neutral, two ranks higher if it’s weak to dark or the same rank if it’s weak to Dark (so an A-Rank surge of Earth or Water would break this technique). On the flip side, the infection will consume any foreign chakra or energy inserted into the opponent’s body and so they become immune to Genjutsu while this is in effect.
