Chakra Absorption Techniques

A is a technique that allows the user to absorb an opponent's chakra.

Some ninja, such as Yoroi Akadō and Jirōbō, are able to use this technique by merely coming into contact with an opponent, while most ninja require a medium to absorb chakra through. The great blade Samehada is able to absorb its opponents chakra as well as share it with its wielder. Kisame Hoshigaki has also displayed the ability to absorb chakra on his own.

 * The Aburame Clan's kikaichū feed on the chakra of their hosts and opponents.
 * Other tools such as Yukigakure's Chakra Armour and the Takumi Village's Infinite Armour grant the ability to absorb chakra.
