Basically all I know currently about fuuin is it revolves around seals most of the time ofc. These seals can be placed on a multitude of things for a variety of reasons. They can be placed on ones self, other people, objects and etc. When a seal is used on something it is typically used for the following reasons, to seal chakra, to store or release objects, seal summonings. There are however fuuin techniques that do not require a seal to be used, these would often be the barrier techniques or other techniques similar to them.

And I guess that's it

So, let's break Fuuinjutsu down then. You've mentioned seals in a broad sense. It is outlined very neatly in the Fuuinjutsu thread and give clear restrictions and guidelines into what each of these 'things' are ( ). The most basic aspects are the Object and the Medium (Vessels). These are the most important and also basic aspects of sealing techniques and they are important to remember when you're creating Fuuin customs.

The Object is what is being sealed. It is the target of your seal, whatever that seal may be. This is an extremely broad aspect because this can be essentially anything. It can be physical targets such as knives and rocks. Or it can be metaphysical targets, like energy, chakra, or even light. They can be emotions, memories, links between individuals (like summoner and summoned). Basically its infinite.

Now, the seals themselves are the medium. These are the vessels. This is what contains your target. Like the Objects the Vessels can basically be anything. They can be a sealing tag, sealing script, chakra, or organics. This is cool to get creative with.

Now, go read that thread I linked. It outlines the rest in there very simply. Ask what questions you have about the other aspects or any you may have about these two before we move onto talking briefly about Barrier Fuuinjutsu.

Great, let's talk about Barrier Fuuinjutsu now. Despite the name, Barrier Fuuin generally has nothing to do with Fuuinjutsu. The most basic forms of barriers can be found in the A-Ranks and above. They are generic in shape and ability, neutral to all elements, and may have a special trait (like Shishienjin, creating violet flames with objects that come in contact with it). Canon barriers are typically defensive and static constructs. Some of these are malleable and shapable, which makes for some cool customs. You can see the malleability in the Four and Six Red Yang barriers; they adjust themselves to relieve pressure on the barrier and redirect the attack upward.

Now, that is just basic stuff. When you get more advanced and make customs you can create a union between Fuuinjutsu and barrier technique; hence Barrier Fuuinjutsu. These barriers can have a wide array of properties. They can seal techniques based on composition (energy, physical, etc). They can absorb other barriers, pulverize objects which pass through them, absorb chakra on contact, etc. Barriers can even be invisible and intangible and create areas of influence (Living Barrier). It's basically up to your imagination. Lots of options here, which is what makes it such a cool field.

Any questions?

Great. Let's start with the first technique. We'll keep it pure analysis. Be thorough. Some of these are very simple while others can tend to be a bit more odd'/complex. This first technique was used by Jiraiya. Initiated by clapping one's hands they produce an invisible spherical barrier which spans mid-range from the user. It works by detecting movement, not chakra. So what does that mean in regards to what you can sense?

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

Wouldn't it involve literally anything that is alive? It would also mean that people who can hide their chakra signatures and what not would still be detectable. And if it doesn't sense chakra but movement would be we able to determine what it was that moved through the barrier?

And for the analysis well it's pretty simple the description explains it thoroughly enough.

Well, anything alive is a bit broad. Rather than focus on a specific status like that focus on just the movement. So yeah, anything that hides its chakra can still be detected since this works purely on motion. Now, you can't discern anything else aside that it is moving. So if you detect that a kunai is moving, you'll know something is moving but you won't know what. You can sense a person moving and a kunai simultaneously as well. You'll know two objects are moving but you can't figure out anything beyond that. Same goes for techniques moving inside of it. You can't discern their nature or anything specific about them; purely their movement. This also, as far as I know, doesn't increase your ability to react or track better. It simply grants you an 'awareness.'

Next up is a trap-esque technique. These explosive markers are essentially modified explosive tags. The tags are designed to create a 'zone' which, once crossed, will detonate the tags. This is very simple to understand but does create some interesting points about it. The tags will typically be delivered by throwing Kunai with the tags attached. But what issue does this create?

(Kekkai Houjin) - Barrier Method Battle Array
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.

Shit idk, if the tags are pre-placed then we can run the risk of someone metagaming their way out of it. Or if an ally or some shit walks through the barrier you practically kill your team mate. Can't think of anything else z.z

The explosion itself is B-Ranked. Not the kunai or whatever delivery method you use is (like placing them physically yourself). So someone could disrupt your way of placing them quite easily, actually. Although they still run the risk of triggering the explosion prematurely. It really just depends on how it is used.

Here's a neat and sometimes overlooked one: the Barrier Shatter Technique. It's incredibly simple to understand. What limits its usefulness is that you actually have to make direct contact with the barrier. Which can carry certain risks. Some barriers react to making contact with them directly and can harm you before you can destroy them. Also, the technique is a bit strange. Its range denotes that you must be within mid-range of your target but you must also make direct contact with it.

(Kekkai Kireme no Jutsu) - Barrier Shatter Technique
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.

This is useful and sort of neat. Placing a tag marked with the specified Kanji creates a defensive barrier which can resist B-Rank damage. The size of the barrier is ambiguous, making it seem that it is sort of up to you. Although traditionally I believe one should just stick with the size of the object it is encasing. Simple enough.


(Fusen no Kekkai) Tag Barrier
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.

You'll bear the burden for this one.

(Mugen Hōyō) - Infinate Embrace
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.
