Tenketsu Blocking Strikes

A taijutsu technique used by Shira to disable opponents with access to the Eight Gates. By performing a two-fingered thrust at the opponent's tenketsu, he can block the flow of chakra. While seemingly not hampering the opponent in any other way, it seems to prevent them from initiating the surge of chakra when the Eight Gates are opened. Shira can also unblock his opponents' tenketsu, with a single impact with his fist.
