<p>As I've said before, @Princeharris, they can do that by just blasting through them with force. I saw pieces flying; the regular paper-like pieces of Edo Tensei. Besides, it'd make sense for the TSB to obliterate an Edo Tensei, which is a Ninjutsu. That's the whole reason Minato's arm didn't regenerate.
</p><p>Also, I thought what Obito used to cast the barrier was Black receivers, like receivers for his chakra. Rinnegan ability. Could be wrong, haven't read it in awhile.
</p><p>Anyways, it's obvious that they do not inherently turn anything to dust. Otherwise, Minato would have holes or something in his back.
</p><p>I'm not entirely sure the TSBs were used as actual binders against Madara's Border Jail. Naruto's Rasengan seemed to be binding him, while the TSB sticks seemed to be actual physical restraints. That's mainly speculation on my part; I'm just personally not convinced that they were restraining him as a jutsu.

<p>I read the chapter and all Hiruzen states is that it has solid defense and it turns attacks to dust. You know what they were attacking with?
Ninjutsu.
</p><p>The only reason I wouldn't edit the page myself to better reflect what Hiruzen said on those pages is because the translation I read might be off. So I leave that stuff to translators.
