Wire Strings

Wire Strings can be used for rappelling, manipulating weapons, or to tie down and restrict the movement of an opponent. Tenten used them in anime against Temari, by using strings to manipulate her multiple throwing weapons. Sasuke is also seen using them against Orochimaru during the Chūnin Exams. Kakashi also used them to tie Sasuke to a tree so he could lecture him on not using Chidori against his comrades. Shikamaru used it during the Sasuke Retrieval Arc.

They are used in the Manipulating Windmill Triple Blades and the Manipulated Shuriken Technique to manipulate attacking objects. The sword Nuibari has a very lengthy wire attached to it to bind its opponents together.
