The Character Bind Technique (字縛術, Jibakujutsu) was a technique developed by Shiranami. By pointing his finger out at a target and writing the proper kanji in the air, this technique produces a variety of effects.
Known Words[]
The effects of these kanji have been shown:
- 操, which comes from the verb 操る (ayatsuru), meaning "to manipulate". This character allows Shiranami to manipulate and control his opponent. The effect manifests when Shiranami writes the kanji in the air at the target's direction; at which point, the kanji appears on the recipient's person. That individual then becomes a subject to Shiranami's will. However, as with the Infinite Embrace, it is not absolute, since a person with tremendous chakra can easily dispel the effect.
- 滅, which comes from the verb 滅する (messuru), meaning "to destroy". Shiranami uses this character to track down and destroy a message sent by carrier pigeon. Utakata destroyed the word before it could fulfil its purpose.
- 岩 (iwa, rock). This character allows Shiranami to immobilise targets. In the case of clones, this dispels them.
- 爆 (baku, explode). This character causes several explosions that can also be used to dispel clones.
- 火 (hi, fire). This character creates a blaze of fire, which can vary in size.
- 炎 (en, flames). This character creates a large wall of fire to keep the enemies away.
- 斬 (zan), which comes from the verb 斬る (kiru), meaning "to kill with a blade". This character creates several blades of wind.
- 割 (katsu, split). This character causes the ground underneath the target to split open.
