(Katon: Soriddo Senjigusuri) – Fire Release: Solid Infusion
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A (+5 to mold Fire techniques)
Damage: N/A (+10 due to physical damage)
Description: Similar to Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique, the user will make all his following fire techniques become so dense they resemble solids in composition. This technique doesn’t add any range to techniques but does in fact add damage due technique’s new found capability to inflict impact damage as well as burn damage. The technique applies to all Katon techniques from fireballs to stream of fire. The real utility of the technique stems from its ability to counter lightning and other energy-based elements which normally phase through each other with no interaction whatsoever. However, this technique makes it so all fire techniques utilized by the user are dense enough to behave almost as solid, being able to deliver impact damage in addition to the fire damage. However, this also means that they can be deflected as solid projectiles. Activating this ability is instant and does not consume any time whatsoever.

(Kuro Ito Chika No Jutsu) – Underground Threads Technique
Rank: A
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A (60 if used to attack the opponent)
Description: After channeling chakra into the dark threads within his body, Kakuzu will release sharp needle-like threads from the bottom of his feet straight into the ground, keeping sure not to alert the opponent. Once he does this, he becomes capable of sensing the pressure on the ground above, hence allowing him to decipher whether or not his opponent is currently on the ground and where exactly they're positioned on the ground. These same threads can also be used to assault the opponent in many versatile ways, the two main ones being constricting the opponent's mobility by wrapping around them or piercing through the opponent's body with their jagged tips. Whilst using this technique, the user is firmly rooted in the ground but can choose to detach themselves from the threads at any time. This weakness of becoming rooted in place can be taken as an advantage against suction-based techniques or attacks which seek to knock the user off balance.
Note: Can only be used three times per battle

(Katon/Raiton: Koushi Kama) – Fire/Lightning Release: Photon Furnace
Rank: S
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description: Similar to Earth Grudge Fear: Final Shot, Kakuzu outstretches both of his arms to his sides and produces a mash of Dark Threads from both of them, from which his fire and lightning masks protrude, with the Katon mask emerging from his left hand whilst his Raiton mask emerges from the right. Simultaneously opening their mouths, the Fire Mask unleashes a devastating stream of flames capable of decimating a large area due to its expansive vertical and horizontal reach, whilst the Lightning mask emits a countless number of glaringly bright lightning bolts, capable of tearing through even the strongest of earth formations. As the masks release their respective elemental attacks, Kakuzu begins spinning on the spot to allow for the technique to cover all sides. The techniques actual use lies within its ability to enable the user to counter omnidirectional attacks without going on the defensive.
Note: Can only be used Twice per battle

(Kuro Ito Haraguroi Naito) – Dark Threads Malicious Knight
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long (Made short range of the user with a long range reach)
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After channeling chakra into the dark threads within his body, Kakuzu will feed a mass of dark threads from the bottom of his feet straight into the ground below to cause a truly colossal golem composed of dark threads to surface either beneath or around the user. The golem created via this technique is similar to the one created by Earth Release: Great Stone Golem Technique in both size and shape, with the unique difference of his whole body being made up of spiky threads (apart from his head) and his head resembling the shape of a knight's helmet. The threads which make up the golem are so tightly woven together to the extent their density surpasses that of most metallic structures, making him as durable if not more so as other elemental golems. Much like all threaded creatures, the golem is capable of extending and retracting his limbs, utilizing all dark threads techniques the user knows and has the innate ability of sewing up physical injuries dealt to him. The most unique feature of the threaded golem is his ability to integrate his body with Kakuzu's via dark threads, thus allowing him to perform all the techniques the user is capable as long as this connection is maintained. Whilst connected to one another, Kakuzu is unable to move or perform techniques as all of his efforts must be put into controlling the armoured golem. This ability isn't limited to merging with Kakuzu but can also take place with Kakuzu's individual masked creatures, allowing the golem to utilize the element(s) of the masks within his body. Unlike his masks, Kakuzu simply has to possess a physical connection with his golem via dark threads e.g. conjoining the golem's shoulder to dark threads released from his feet. His masks on the other hand, must physically be merged into the golem's body, effectively becoming a temporary addition to the gargantuan creature.
Note: Can only be used once per battle

(Kuro Ito Ryoukan Toburai) – Dark Threads Colossal Mummification
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Description: After channeling his chakra throughout the dark threads within his body, Kakuzu will place his hands on the ground and feed a mass of dark threads directly into it. These same threads immediately surface beneath all opponents on the battlefield in the form of black trees composed entirely of spiked threads which begin growing around all of the affected opponent(s), coiling around their respective targets and tightening their grip over them the longer they're allowed to grow. Due to the spikes protruding from the trees, the opponent is immediately impaled in an inumerous amount of places and these spikes are forced deeper into their bodies as the tree's hold tightens every second. As soon as the trees surface they constrict the affected target(s) with a strong enough grip to prevent any sort of mobility. The trees themselves grow in a spiral-like motion, pushing their spikes deeper into the opponent by the second, making it a futile endeavor to escape the longer the technique is allowed to proceed. Soon after utilizing the technique, the opponent's body collapses under the insane compressive pressure and severe wounds dealt to them.

(Kuro Ito Gizagiza Kyuuzou) – Dark Threads Shrapnel Explosion
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: After performing a single hanseal, Kakuzu will channel his chakra into a single threaded structure on the field and cause it to erupt in a violent outburst of hardened spiky dark threads as projectiles in all directions. The spikes explode out of the structure with devastating amount of force, allowing them to skewer through the bodies of any shinobi struck by them. The spikes themselves are thirty centimeters in length and ten centimeters in width, closely resembling the dimensions of a basic dagger. This jutsu can affect any structure within mid-range of the user and the explosion itself is also mid-ranged.

(Doton/Katon/Raiton: Koushi Kama) – Earth/Fire/Lightning Release: Blast Furnace
Rank: Forbidden
Type: Offensive
Range: Mid-Long
Chakra cost: 50
Damage points: 90 (-40 damage to the user)
Description: After placing his hands on the ground and releasing his doton chakra into it, Kakuzu will cause a massive S-Rank cube shaped prison of earth to form around the opponent, the prison hovering a few meters above the ground once the opponent is trapped within its solid confines. The prison itself is a basic cube of earth with a small opening in the in the front of it (the user's perspective). Simultaneously as the cube forms, Kakuzu causes his fire and lightning masks to reach out from his back and mount themselves above each of his shoulders, both masks emitting a powerful S-Rank stream of their respective element directly into the small opening in the earthen cube. The devastating blast of rotating flames and glaringly bright lightning bolts instantly enter the opening in the cube of earth, incinerating everything and everyone inside. As the masks shoot their respective techniques, the user causes the cubical prison to rapidly rotate on the spot, dizzying the opponent(s) in the process. The rotation happens on the spot, so not to change the position of the opening, making sure the Fire/Lightning combination is still capable of entering it. The whole attack works by the same mechanism as a blast furnace, trapping the intended target(s) before super heating them to scorching temperatures. The unique difference to a blast furnace is the inclusion of lightning, adding a further element of lethality to the technique. Due to earth's natural weakness to lightning, the cube (almost instantly) violently erupts, sending magma-like chunks of rubble in every direction. The user themselves suffers due to the stress of performing the technique, becoming less co-coordinated and physically weakened. This translates to no handseals for two turns as well as no S-Rank and above Fire or Lightning techniques in the next turn.
Note: Can only be used once per battle
Note: Can only be Taught by Negative Knight
Note: Must have acquired both the Fire and Lightning masks
Note: No S-Rank Fire or Lightning in the user's next turn

Note: The cube can have up to a diameter of ten meters
Note: For other bios to use this technique, they must have two clones with the Katon/Raiton affinity. One clone must posses the Katon affinity and the other must possess the Raiton affinity.

(Kuro Ito Shujutsushitsu Saisei) – Dark Threads Surgical Regeneration
Rank: Forbidden
Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 50
Damage Points: N/A (-40 damage to the user)
Description: After being sliced open or beheaded, Kakuzu will immediately cause a mass of threads to reach out from his body and re-attach his head/the two halves of his body. The jutsu happens so quickly, almost as if its an involuntary response by the body to prevent death by whatever means. The reason this jutsu can even counter beheading as it utilizes the short interval before brain death to repair the body. Kakuzu developed this technique to prevent being killed by treacherous allies or ninja capable of launching attacks invisible to the naked eye. Immediately after using the jutsu, the user is slightly dazed and so can't perform handseals in the same turn its used.
Note: Can only be used twice per battle
Note: Requires a cool down for three turns before next usage

Description: Kakuzu channels chakra throughout the dark threads within his body to cause himself vanish in a small burst of string-like dark threads. These strands of threads then rapidly move to another location and come together, instantly reforming into his original body. In this form he becomes invulnerable to most attacks. However, whist in this form he's unable to attack the opponent and is vulnerable to fire-based elements as they can encompass a wide area, allowing them to burn all of the threads to a crisp.

(Kuro Ito Gizagiza Kouhei) – Dark Threads Retractive Limbs
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Short (Has a Long range reach)
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: N/A (+20 damage to Taijutsu attacks)
Description: Kakuzu causes eight arms composed entirely of threads to erupt form his back. The threads are tightly weaved together into concrete structures giving the hits from them even more strength than ordinary blows due to their sheer weight and high density because of the threads being tightly packed together. This technique can be used for various purposes including directly attacking the opponent, restraining them, rappelling from one part of the terrain to another in quick succession and performing more advanced Taijutsu attacks due to the user now possessing ten arms instead of two. One other alternative use of the technique is its ability to be extended or retracted meaning the opponent can be captured by the user and then pulled towards them. Due to this extension ability, Kakuzu becomes capable of capturing aerial targets and forcing them downwards. The arms themselves can extend up to twenty meters.
Note: Last for Four Turns
Note: Can only be used twice per battle

(Kuro Ito Bunshin) – Dark Threads Clone
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user takes ¼ of their chakra and creates a clone constructed only of dark threads which has real form and substance. Due to be being constructed primarily of dark threads the clone has the ability to fly due to being weightless like Kakuzu's masks. Furthermore the clone doesn’t disperse against physical attacks as it will simply reshape, it must be completely destroyed and it can also utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows. The real utility of this clone is that it can reintegrate back into the user’s body to break any A-Rank and lower Genjutsu due to the sudden disruption of chakra flow that occurs. Once it reintegrates, the remaining unused chakra in the clone is returned to the user. However if the clone is destroyed, the remaining chakra doesn’t return to the user and is lost completely. Whilst the clone is active, both the user and the clone are incapable of using Genjutsu as of result of the user's divided consciousness.
Note: Can only be used once per battle
Note: Only one clone can be created during each use
Note: No other of the user's clones can be active while this jutsu is

This technique was developed to make the process of the masks returning to his body much more efficient.

(Kuro Ito Hebi Dappi) – Dark Threads Snake Shedding
Rank: A
Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Kakuzu will channel chakra throughout the dark threads within his body to cause a dense skin composed entirely of threads to surface from inside of his body. As the skin emerges from inside of him, it lifts off any substances covering the user's body e.g. adhesive mud or flames, the skin itself now being covered in the substance previously on the user's body. Immediately on doing this, the layer of threads will erupt outwards in every direction, carrying the substance previously on the user's body along with it, effectively saving the user from whatever it might of been. The two stages of this technique happen almost simultaneously, allowing this technique to be used extremely quickly and minimize any damage afflicted to the user. This technique was developed should Kakuzu himself ever be set alight or covered in a constricting substance. To an observer, the technique appears to be a sudden yet forceful burst of dark threads from every point on the user's body. Due to its nature, the technique is exceedingly useful in countering techniques such as Amaterasu and Sticky Earth Drop.

(Doton: Kuro Ito Metaru Sukin) – Earth Release: Dark Threads Adamant Skin
Rank: S
Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A (+20 to Taijutsu to attacks)
Description: This is Kakuzu's ultimate defense inspired by his signature technique Earth Release: Earth Spear. After channeling his doton chakra throughout the dark threads within his body, he causes them to become extremely tightly woven together, before hardening them to the extent their density surpasses that of even some metallic structures. This technique can harden the threads within a single limb or the entirety of the user's body, making this a very versatile technique. Whilst active, the affected body parts become capable of enduring powerful impact forces with little damage to the exterior. Due to this, the user can't be pierced with ordinary weapons e.g. swords, lances, spears, whilst the technique is active. However, the jutsu comes with the glaring downside of the user being unable to move the hardened body parts so long as the technique is active due to the affected body parts becoming insanely stiff, making full body hardening a last resort. The technique itself has no visible effects, allowing the user to deceive their opponent in various ways. An alternative use of the technique is supplementing the user's Taijutsu, as the technique gives hits much more strength than ordinary blows. This can be achieved through the user hardening their hand during a punch or their foot during a kick to slightly overcome the technique's weakness.

(Masuku Gurotesuku Shinsei) – Masked Grotesque Rebirth
Rank: Forbidden
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 50
Damage Points: N/A (-100 damage to the user)
Description: As a last resort, whilst either on the brink of death or severely wounded, Kakuzu will cause all of the masks within his body to erupt from his back and channels all of his remaining chakra into one the masks to cause it to reshape and transform into an exact replica of himself. The transformation makes it impossible to distinguish between the new body and the previous one as its even accurate to the finest of details. The affected mask is identical to him in every way in both shape and mind. This jutsu effectively transmits Kakuzu's consciousness to one of his masks, abandoning the previous body and the affected mask becoming the new host body. The elemental affinity of the transformed mask becomes Kakuzu's main heart and is no longer capable of leaving his body. Much like with Kakuzu's previous body, his masks are capable of entering and exiting the body at will and they now recognize the new host body as their owner. The new body is capable of performing every jutsu, technique, or maneuver the original body was capable of except the elemental techniques of the heart lost along with the original body. One benefit provided by the jutsu is, much like all of Kakuzu's masks, his new body retains its natural capability of flight, allowing him to partially compensate for the loss of his main heart. This jutsu is most akin to Mu's Splitting Technique as unlike clones, this body won't disperse but must be killed, the body can be considered the "real" version of Kakuzu and possess all of the chakra that was present in the main body at the time this jutsu was used. However, the technique leaves the user disoriented for a short period of time, preventing them from using handseals for two whole turns.

Rank: A
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A (60 if used to attack the opponent)
Description: After channeling chakra into the dark threads within his body, Kakuzu will release sharp needle-like threads from the bottom of his feet straight into the ground, making sure not to alert the opponent as this happens. These same threads can also be used to assault the opponent in many versatile ways, such as constricting their mobility by wrapping around them or piercing through them with their jagged tips. Whilst using this technique, the user is firmly rooted in the ground and so unable to move but can choose to detach themselves from the threads at any time. This weakness of becoming rooted in place can be become an advantage against suction-based techniques or attacks which seek to knock the user off balance.

Description: After channeling his raiton chakra throughout the dark threads within his body, Kakuzu will place his hands on the ground and feed a mass of electrically charged dark threads directly into it. These same threads immediately surface beneath all opponents on the battlefield in the form of raiton imbued black trees composed entirely of spiked threads which begin growing around all of the affected opponent(s), coiling around their respective targets and tightening their grip over them the longer they're allowed to grow. Due to the spikes protruding from the trees, the opponent is immediately impaled in an inumerous amount of places and these spikes are forced deeper into their bodies as the tree's hold tightens every second. As soon as the trees surface they constrict the affected target(s) with a strong enough grip to prevent any sort of mobility. The raiton chakra within the trees serves the simultaneous purposes of paralyzing the affected opponent(s) and preventing the use of most Earth-based defenses. The trees themselves grow in a spiral-like motion, pushing their spikes deeper into the opponent by the second, making it a futile endeavor to escape the longer the technique is allowed to proceed. Soon after utilizing the technique, the opponent's body collapses under the insane compressive pressure and severe wounds dealt to them.
Note: Can only be used Twice per battle
Note: Can only be Taught by Negative Knight
Note: Can only be used by Kakuzu
Note: Paralysis lasts for one turn
(Jiongu: Saishu Shageki) Earth Grudge Fear: Elemental Frenzy

(Jiongu: Masuku Kidousei) Earth Grudge Fear: Masked Cavalry
Type: Supplementary
Rank: E
Range: N/A
Chakra: 5
Damage: N/A
Description: Instead of performing an elemental jutsu from his own mouth, Kakuzu will cause one of his masks to reach out from his back, mount itself above his shoulder and perform the technique on his behalf. Though a very basic technique, this jutsu allows for fluid combination attacks as along with his mask, Kakuzu is capable of performing his own technique. Alternatively, this jutsu can be used to perform techniques when user is immobilized by an electrical current, a constricting substance, a paralyzing genjutsu and etc. This technique doesn't add any damage nor does it add any range to any jutsu used in conjunction with it.
Note: Can only be Taught by Negative Knight
Note: Can only be used by Kakuzu
Note: This jutsu can't be used on its own and must be used with another technique
Note: This jutsu is a passive maneuver and does not count towards the user's three jutsus per turn
(Raiton: Kuro Ito Gizagiza Rikou) – Lightning Release: Dark Threads Stalactite Discharge
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Description: Kakuzu channels his raiton chakra through the dark threads within his body and releases it all at once, to cause countless electrified spikes (which are ten meters in length) to extend from every point on his body (except his head). The spikes themselves resemble basic spears in both shape and width and the end result makes the user look like they’re coated in an armour of raiton-infused spikes. Anyone hit by this technique is skewered through their body and undergoes severe full body paralysis which lasts for two turns. After release, the spikes re-enter the user's body and the holes created in the user's body by the technique are sewn up.
Note: Can only be used Twice per battle
Note: Can only be used by Kakuzu
Note: Can only be Taught by Negative Knight
Note: Cannot be used on consecutive turns
(Kuro Ito Soshi Senjigusuri) – Dark Threads Elemental Infusion
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Kakuzu will imbue one of the five basic elemental chakras into all of his dark threads related jutsu (for the next five turns) to cause them to take on a specific set of properties. If the user channels their raiton chakra into the threads, their penetrative abilities will heightened and the threads themselves will be electrified, giving them paralyzing capabilities. If the user channels their suiton chakra into the threads, they will become coated in a thick layer of adhesive water (similar to Water Release: Starch Syrup Capture Field), giving them adhesive properties and the ability to stick to people/objects. They will also become extremely resistant to burning. If the user channels their doton chakra into the threads, they will take on a pitch-black metallic sheen and be hardened to the extent they can clash with swords and endure powerful impact forces. If the user channels their fuuton chakra into the threads, their cutting capabilities will be enhanced and electrical currents will be impossible to conduct along them. If the user channels their katon chakra into the threads, they will be ignited, however shortly after ignition the threads are destroyed in the process, leaving a raging fire in its place. The jutsu itself doesn't add any damage or range to techniques used in conjunction with it. It simply serves the purpose of infusing the dark threads with elemental chakra to cause the technique to become an elemental jutsu of the same rank e.g. a B-Rank dark threads jutsu infused with doton chakra will become a B-Rank doton jutsu. Elemental infusions via this method will respect all elemental strengths and weaknesses of the infused element.
Note: Lasts for Five turns
Note: Can only be used twice per battle
Note: Can only be used by Kakuzu
Note: Can only be used by Negative Knight
Note: If raiton chakra is infused, paralysis caused by contact with the threads lasts for one turn.
Note: The metallic sheen of infusing doton chakra is purely cosmetic
You need an element that refracts light... You could make your masks have bodies that blind the opponent if they look at them... They'd have to fight you and your masks without looking xD
