Dance of the Shikigami


 * Name:
 * Type: B-rank, Offensive, Supplementary, All ranges
 * User: Konan
 * Debut (Manga): Chapter 372

Using her high origami and ninjutsu skills, Konan will turn her body and clothing into many sheets of paper. She can control and reshape every sheet at will, making such forms as weapons for attack, butterflies for spying, or paper airplanes for quick transport. Her ability to make wings of paper mirror her title as God's Angel in Amegakure. However, in this form, she is weak to fire and oil-based techniques.

Trivia

 * Shikigami, when written as 式神, refer to a kind of spirit summoned to serve an Onmyōji (a kind of sorcerer). These spirits are often depicted as changing into small pieces of paper once harmed or finished with their task. In the name of this technique, the kanji for has been replaced with the kanji for, which is pronounced the same. This is likely done to emphasise the paper nature of Konan's shikigami and to point out the subtle difference between them and traditional shikigami.
