Lit Apparition Technique

A ninjutsu technique created by Pain and used by Akatsuki to gather at one location, even while members are in different parts of the world. By forming the needed handseal, an astral form of their being will appear at the desired location. This spirit can act in conjunction with other members to do combination jutsu like the Genryuu Kyuu Fuujin. While in this projected form, the member's body will appear transparent save for their eyes, and in the anime are depicted with shadowy bodies refracting an array of spectral colors, much like a rainbow. When speaking, their voices and bodies will also distort and flicker, as if recieving electronic interference.
