Cool.

Ah yes, finally, it was someone I knew. This kid had promise, I had seen him in battle. A puppeteer. They always interested me, they had good control of their chakra, no wonder I was going to teach him in a field like Fuuinjutsu. Arriving on the field, I pointed my wand at him.

"Koumei! Let us begin. Not to bore you with the basics, but its a..standard procedure, you know? What do you know about Fuuinjutsu, and how do you plan to utilize it in battle. Different from your usual tactics, of course."

 

[Pekoms]

Koumei offered a few words as greeting to his new sensei. He'd only ever heard positive things about the man's trainings. The man looked to be younger than him, and also seemed very attached to the stick he waved around. One look at his eyes, and all he saw was wisdom beyond his years. An intriguing man, to be sure..

"Fūinjutsu is all about seals and barriers. In the first case, seals can be kanji, technique formulae, or some other symbols. This field enables the user to seal a large variety of things ranging from mundane objects to chakra and even living beings. There is, however, a particular limit to the usage of seals.. In order to place a seal, there must be a physical medium. In the second case, that of barriers, the thing being sealed is a given area or space. Barriers usually lack the limitation of seals, albeit have one of their own. Ergo, each barrier needs a constant chakra input. And they are more often than not, tangible. Still, the properties and function of each barrier can be quite distinct from one another, allowing for many possibilities."

"My plan is to integrate a few seals into my puppet collection, so as to provide them with an array of new combat options. Because the default S/W for Fūinjutsu entails neutrality to all of the basic elements, I can opt into barriers as a more reliable defense mechanism than the current raw chakra applications. I feel puppets are perfectly suited as physical mediums, and that having the ability to manipulate them to a high degree up to mid-range allows more flexibility in locations for not only sealing things, but also unsealing things. The decision to use puppets is sensible anyways, since it's my understanding that human mediums require even more extensive knowledge, which is unlikely to be attainable by me. But it's quite fine since I'm first and foremost a puppeteer."​

 

[Detective L]

"Yeah, pretty much. Here's a small explanation on Fuuinjutsu taken from none other than Vivi, and my own way of seeing it. As much as Vivi is an idiot, it seems he explained it pretty well."

A seal itself is like a dish with 6 main ingredients that come together to form it. The main object which is being sealed, the vessel it is sealed in, a trigger which initiates the seal, the object used to bind the target, chakra used to fuel the seal, and finally a key to release the seal. It sounds more complex than it really is. In practice, most of these are relatively simple.
Then, we move onto practical applications of seals. By sealing weapons, they can be more easily and quickly accessed during battle. For example, it'd be simpler to tap my wrist to summon a sword, than to draw it from my side. This can add an element of surprise to your battles, making it difficult for someone to react. You can also seal bodies, for easy storage after killing an opponent. You can seal incoming techniques, you can seal explosions and release them as the opponent nears, you can seal skills of the opponent, his chakra, limbs, etc. The possibilities are almost endless.

Fuuinjutsu entails the process of sealing. This is basically an art, or method, to seal chakra, weapons, intangible elements like Fire and Lightning, inside a seal. Basically, these things, are taken into the seal, despite their size or whatever, and "hang" in another "realm" for the lack of a better word. Not only can things be sealed into seals, but also be brought out of them like weapons for example. I've seen some seals, that if triggered by a specific stimuli, activate and then automatically release whatever is inside it. However, things can also be sealed into some other things, like tattoos, or even more solid like objects, like weapons, I think, Overall, the premise is very simple, sealing of things, and also bringing things from where they were sealed in order to use it in battle. Some seals can be used to contain chakra, limit an opponent's use of chakra, like that seal used on Naruto by Orochimaru. It has a bunch of uses overall. I've seen seals that are able to release people from Genjutsu, release and maintain chakra, and even limit people to certain elements (shoutout Zanda).

"Got any extra questions, before we proceed?"

 

[Pekoms]

"I'm not familiar with this Vivi person, but that was admittedly chock-full of useful info. No questions, at present."​

 

[Detective L]

"He's not important anyway. So, let's get started."

(Kekkai: Tengai Hojin) - Barrier: Dome Method Formation

Spoiler

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".

"This here is a simple technique, where you will clap your hands together allowing you to create a spherical barrier around you, with you at the center of it. At your command, it can expand. Anything within the barrier can be sensed, allowing you to catch those tricky ninjas that try and sneak up on you."

(Kekkai Houjin) - Barrier Method Battle Array

Spoiler

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.

"Then, a more trap based technique where you will place an array of explosive markers around an area and anyone who crossed it, will cause the seals to activate and explode. A pretty simple concept."

 

[Pekoms]

(Kekkai: Tengai Hojin) - Barrier: Dome Method Formation

A simple means of sensing, but if I'm not mistaken, this requires that the hands remain together. And if that's the case, then the user will be sorely limited in terms of the spur-of-the-moment combos they can do. It being able to extend up to mid-range is a boon, but it seems fairly chakra intensive for its upkeep considering that it's just a B-rank. That being said, I haven't looked over the canon list that closely to know whether or not its intrinsic to the field. Anyways, I do have some questions. To start is this barrier totally visible to even non-Dōjutsu users? Also, while it can detect anything that moves inside the barrier space, how would one sense multiple things. For example, chakra-infused mist and somebody hiding in it—are both detected? Lastly, is the user able to continually "sense" things within the barrier, or only the things that pass in and out of its periphery?​

(Kekkai Houjin) - Barrier Method Battle Array

So, basically, just a set of explosive tags that act autonomously with a preset boundary. Oh, and it does A-rank damage, which is much more damage than freeform explosive tags. It's best suited for entrapping an area before the target arrives. But while the user doesn't have to consciously activate them, they ought to be mindful of not falling victim to their own trap. I would also imagine that moves terraforming the area can easily ruin the technique.​

 

[Detective L]

Yeah, one can see it lightly if I remember from the anime correctly. Yes, both are detected. And things within its range, which is basically mid range around the area where its placed. So things that pass into it, will be sensed, once its out, it won't be.

(Kekkai Kireme no Jutsu) - Barrier Shatter Technique

Spoiler

Rank: B-Rank
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 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 and only works with up to B rank barriers.

Want to break down barriers? Use this, to insert your chakra into an active barrier and interfere with the source, canceling it out. Only up to B ranks, though.

(Fusen no Kekkai) Tag Barrier

Spoiler

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 cool, take a tag that is marked with said Kanji, which can be placed on a weapon or a surface. This creates a defensive barrier around the object, spherical in nature. It can defend up to B rank Nin, and can also be used to contain a person within it (possibly breaking with above B rank).

 

[Pekoms]

(Kekkai Kireme no Jutsu) - Barrier Shatter Technique

Pretty straightforward in function. The most obvious limitation is that it only works on barriers up to B-rank. But since this also requires physical contact, I'm wondering if the user would be affected by the properties of some barriers in the instant they touch them. Like, Four Violet Flames Battle Encampment, would the user totally prevent the flames as they touch the barrier?​

(Fusen no Kekkai) - Tag Barrier

Also simple, but with plenty of options for tag placement. I'm likely to keep some tags on standby for my puppets, in case of an emergency. A method for applying them to a weapon/surface that comes to mind is chakra threads. The limitation is that it seems to activate as soon as it's placed, so the timing needs to be on point.​

 

[Detective L]

Indeed, if the barrier has some form of protection, this technique can't really be used as it offers no protection in that sense.

(Mugen Hōyō) - Infinate Embrace

Spoiler

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.

After slamming your hands onto the ground, you will create a cuboid barrier around the opponent, which is pink in color and drains his chakra. This of course, hinders the opponent in terms of how much chakra they can use, not being able to mold above S rank. The barrier itself can be broken by B rank techniques, or by attacking the user of the technique.

(Fuuinjutsu: Kami Komyunikēshon) Sealing Arts: Scroll Communication technique

Spoiler

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.

With this technique, the user will create 2 or more scrolls, which contain an embedded formula within it, which connects all the others together. If something is written in one of the scrolls, it appears in the others as well, regardless of the distance. So good for the NW in terms of communication. Also, to activate the scroll, a set of hand seals need to be performed, which are unique and only known to those the scrolls were given to.

 

[Pekoms]

Infinate Embrace

Honestly, not very effective despite not needing handseals, unlike its stronger version. It's at least chakra efficient, so long as something does get trapped inside. I don't really see much reason in using it, and it also doesn't appear to apply pressure to the target. Is this barrier tangible?​

Sealing Arts: Scroll Communication technique

Yeah, it looks like there isn't much use for it, beyond NW communication. That being said, it's probably one of the best means of doing so. The good thing is that only the person who makes the scrolls must have Fūin (I believe), so one can still help out those who don't have it.​
