Rank: B-S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 20-40
Damage: 40-80
Description: Heavenly Binding Chains is a Sand Ninjutsu technique that works on the same basis as the Earth techniques Sticky Earth Drop and Dropping Lid, taking in their unique property of opening portals on the battlefield and 'summoning' the jutsu. This technique essentially works with the user opening a single portal (or alternatively upto 8 portals) on any particular location(s) on the field. Upon forming, each portal releases a burst of sand grains that proceed to instanteously harden and 'materialize' in the form of chains. These chains can generally be elongated, enlarged and even contracted, all depending primarily upon the users choice with each chain reaching upto a maximum of 15m from their point of origin. Most notably, each chain has a blade at its front which is capable of acting as a striking weapon when launched at high speeds. The user can also choose to have a single or numerous chains either partially or completely wrap around a target and bind it in place, with the user manipulating the chains to twist and tighten in order to inflict damage and potentially break the targets bones. Alternatively however, the user can simply bind a target without potentially harming him or even have the chains recede into the portal (after having bound the target) in order to drag the opponent towards the chains point of origin. It is important to note that the chains can be utilized for defensive purposes as well, such as the manipulation of the chains to create a 'defensive chain net'. In essence, the technique allows the user to conduct a vast array of actions and introduces a great deal of versatility as the user can manipulate the chains for numerous purposes.
Note: The chains last only a single turn and automatically disperse in the users next turn. Moreover, once this technique has been performed, the user can only use Sand and it's composite natures (Earth and Wind) from the Basic 5 Elements in the same turn afterwards.
Note: The Rank of each individual chain is inversely proportional to the quantity of the chains created. For example, if the S Rank version was used and two chains were spawned, they would be A-rank each. As such, for the sake of simplicity, besides creating a single chain, only an even number of chains can be created (2, 4, 6, 8).
Note: The S-rank version can be utilized thrice per battle and the user may not use any S Rank or above Sand technique in the same turn afterwards.
Note: The portals must be made at least 3m from the target.
