Description:
A simple ability inherently usable by summonings of the Leech contract. The leeches are known to absorb chakra from opponents and techniques, taking it away and giving it to the contract signer to replenish their chakra reserves. This ability only works in two separate ways; One being an ability able to be used any time, and one that is limited to a degree.
Direct Chakra absorption: This is the ability to drain chakra by simply touching a target with any part of the leeches body, Or a limb that has the leech summoning tattoo on it. I.e. Done through a hand that has the tattoo on the palm or through the mouth if a tattoo is there. When the Leech/Tattoo touches a person, another summoning, a clone, or any familiar with its own chakra pool; The leeches skill will automatically drain away chakra at a faster or slower rate depending on the rank of said leech. Leeches D rank will absorb 15 chakra, C-B rank will absorb 50, and A-S rank will absorb 100; All on a per turn basis. This requires that the leeches' anterior suckers*be physical contact with what they are draining chakra from.
Technique Draining/Eating: This is the second variant of taking in chakra. The leeches take specific steps as ninja summonings in order to incorporate their chakra absorption into battling. This variant doesn't deal with directly absorbing chakra, but destroying and absorbing a technique all in one go. The leeches lace their anterior suckers with aggressive chakra. Along with that, they also lace their stomachs with the same aggressive chakra. This allows them to eat away at techniques of all kinds, whether it is energy or solid in nature. During this process they absorb the chakra out of the technique, taking in its original chakra cost while the anterior suckers destroy the "form". That being said, each leech is limited to absorbing moves of raw chakra, the same element they have an affinity for, and the basic element their affinity is strong against.
With either variant, the leeches can store chakra from draining it, and can only give it to their summoner through physical contact via their anterior suckers. If the leech is to disperse before the chakra is given away, the leeched chakra is simply taken away along with it. The limits to storing chakra would be double the amount of chakra the leech is able to absorb, meaning they can only absorb twice before being too full to absorb anything else.
Note: Useable six times per event (inclusive of both variants) and A to S-rank only twice.
