Sage Art: Amphibian Technique


 * Name:
 * Type: Senjutsu, No rank, Supplementary
 * Users: Shima, Fukasaku
 * Debut (Manga): Chapter 375

This technique is used by Shima and Fukasaku to fuse with Jiraiya. It maximizes the sage chakra for the person they are fused to and allows them to access Sage Mode. This also allows Fukasaku and Shima to continuously gather sage chakra for Jiraiya, as he cannot do so himself while on the move, thus eliminating the weakness of exhausting all of his sage chakra in battle. Fukasaku was not able to fuse with Naruto Uzumaki because the Nine Tailed Demon Fox rejected him.

Name
The name of this technique is a pun. is the Japanese word for "amphibian," but the kanji literally mean "both lives" or "two lives," referring to how this technique fuses two living beings.
