A unison of barrier ninjutsu and fūinjutsu is referred to as a.

In a similar fashion to genjutsu, fūinjutsu can be undone by combining specific seals with a command.

Trivia

 * An imbalance is created when an odd-numbered seal is placed on top of an even-numbered seal and vice-versa.

 * During the Chūnin Exams, chūnin and jōnin were sealed inside scrolls. If the genin opened the scrolls before being allowed to do so, the chūnin and jōnin would knock them out, failing them in the exam.
 * Isshiki Ōtsutsuki utilised a seal that will kill anything sealed within if it's broken open in anyway except if undone by himself. However, the seal can by bypassed by Space–Time Ninjutsu.
