The Chakra Absorption Technique allows the user to absorb the physical and spiritual energy of an opponent. The user can absorb all of the opponent's chakra. The technique kills the opponent and grants the user much more power. In the anime, it has been shown that stored-up energy can also be released in the form of a shock wave.

The user doesn't have to actually touch the opponent. It is also possible to use it through other mediums, as Jirobo did with his Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome of Magnificent Nothingness. The only necessary condition is some medium through which chakra can be channeled.

It is unknown if this technique is truly considered a jutsu or not. It has never been given an entry in any of the data books. However, it is not considered a kekkei genkai ability either, since it has been performed by three people with no known relation. It's most likely that the technique is simply an effect of other jutsu. Only Yoroi Akado uses a plain chakra absorption technique. Jirobo and Pain's chakra absorption abilities are effects of entirely different techniques.
