Welcoming Approach: Thousand-Armed Murder

This jutsu is activated when the user uses his left hand to make a half-ram and extending his right hand down with his palm parallel to the ground. Music starts playing as the user summons the spirit of the Thousand-Armed Kannon. The spirit is normally calm, angelic and looks peaceful. However, whenever the user gets angry, the spirit turns red and transforms into a somewhat demonic-looking creature. Kannon then attacks the user's target with its 1000 spirit fists.

Asuma is able to use this technique. Although, Asuma's version isn't as effective as Chiriku's since the size of the spirit that envelops Asuma is much less.

Trivia

 * Although the spirit appearing with this technique is the bodhisattva Kannon, the Welcoming Approach refers to the appearance of the Amida Buddha at the time of one's death, welcoming the nearly-departed into the Pure Land. However, images of this Welcoming Approach often depict the Amida Buddha sitting on a purple cloud flanked by Kannon and Seishi, another bodhisattva. These three form a kind of trinity, especially revered in Pure Land Buddhism.
