Sealing Technique: Phantom Dragons Nine Consuming Seals

* Name:
 * Type: S-rank, Supplementary
 * Hand Seals: Tiger, Snake, Rat, Ox, Dog, Ram
 * User: Pain (Deva Path)

This jutsu is used by Pain, the Akatsuki leader, and his subordinates in tandem to forcibly drain the spirit and chakra of the Tailed Beasts from their hosts, then seal it in a large statue. The jutsu takes three full days to complete. Kisame Hoshigaki commented that the jutsu takes longer without Orochimaru present and Zetsu commented that the jutsu takes longer when there are less people there.

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 present then concentrate, 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.
