Character Bind Technique

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.
