Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths

The Five Ultimate Treasures are a set of powerful tools that were once wielded by the Sage of the Six Paths himself. Each of these items demonstrates unusual and distinctive abilities, however, their usage consumes an enormous amount of chakra, so much so that a normal human would die if they used them. Four of these five treasures were eventually gathered together by Kumogakure, where they came into the possession of the Gold and Silver Brothers. As the siblings possessed immense chakra reserves and then later became imbued with a small amount of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's chakra, they alone were capable of wielding the treasures without fatal repercussions.

The brothers used their respective four treasures both extensively and proficiently, even using them on one occasion to ambush the Second Hokage and Second Raikage simultaneously, resulting in Tobirama Senju being left on the verge of death at the conclusion of the confrontation. This circumstance was apparently achieved by utilizing the treasures effectively in conjunction with one another, typically in order to place the siblings' opponents under a combination curse and sealing technique, which would see the permanent imprisonment of the victim if they were to repeat the word they spoke most frequently during their life, as long as a number of prerequisites are first met.
