Yomotsu Hirasaka is a kekkei mōra technique used by members of the Ōtsutsuki clan, which is said to be the progenitor of all space–time ninjutsu.[1]
Overview[]
The user is able to open rifts in the fabric of space that allow them to instantaneously transport themselves to another location. The openings can be used to connect two different spatial locations within the same dimension, or to create a pathway that links two dimensions together. By entering these spacial tears, the user is able to retreat, disorient enemies, or execute ambush attacks at a moment's notice. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki used this technique to travel between her six dimensions.
These portals can be used to transport only sections of the user's body by partially entering them, allowing the user to grab their opponents and drag them into the portal, sending them to another location. Kaguya can also open rifts to transport her attacks through the portals, relocating projectiles and ultimately taking the enemy down by surprise.[2] The portals are manifested at such speeds that even a shinobi as fast as Sasuke Uchiha was caught off guard.[3] However, evading the portals is still possible.[4]
