Kōkinjō

The is a thick length of rope. By saying the verbal command it is able to draw out the  of anyone the rope has come into contact with, allowing it to then be severed by the Shichiseiken. The command is not mandatory. The Kōkinjō will not draw out the word soul of its wielder. The item generates an aura that can take the form of additional ropes, giving it a greater range.

The Kōkinjō is revered as one of the treasured tools of the Sage of the Six Paths. All five of the tools consume enormous amounts of chakra when used, so much so that normal humans would die after using the tools for only a short period of time. When the tools later came into the possession of Kumogakure, only the Gold and Silver Brothers - due to their large chakra reserves - were able to wield the treasures without fatal repercussions. When not in use, Ginkaku used the Kōkinjō to tie the Benihisago around his neck for easier transportation. In combat, he wrapped the rope around his arm to make it easier to hit targets.

The Kōkinjō was sealed in Kohaku no Jōhei along with Kinkaku.
