This jutsu is used by Pain and the other members of Akatsuki to forcibly drain the spirit and chakra of the Tailed Beasts from their still-living Jinchūriki, then seal it in a large statue. The jutsu takes three full days to complete if nine of the Akatsuki are present. Kisame Hoshigaki comments that it "takes longer without Orochimaru".

To prepare for the jutsu, Pain summons the sealing statue and each member stands on one of its fingers, corresponding to their specific ring finger. When performed, this jutsu causes the bit to fall out of the mouth of the statue. Each of the Akatsuki members concentrates, causing the kanji of their rings to appear on the nail of the finger they're standing on. Nine dragon-like effigies then pour from the statue's mouth, surround the captured host, and remove the Tailed Beast from them (the process seems quite agonizing to the host). In the case of an unsealed Tailed Beast, the same thing happens to the beast itself, and still takes as much time as if it were sealed. After the process is complete, the beast is sealed within the statue, and one of the statue's nine eyes opens. The host then dies because of the removal of their Tailed Beast. The beasts must be sealed in a specific order with the nine-tails being sealed last.
