Chakra Absorption Techniques

A is a jutsu that allows the user to absorb an opponent's chakra. Some ninja, such as Yoroi Akadō and Jirōbō, have been using this technique on their own by merely coming into contact with an opponent. Most ninja require a medium to absorb chakra through. In the anime, it has been shown that stored-up energy can also be released in the form of a shock wave.

Trivia

 * In reference to Yoroi's use of the ability, Orochimaru describes it as unholy but never goes into detail.
