Yachihoko

Yachihoko is a Mangekyō Sharingan dōjutsu .

## Overview [ ]

Tied to the usage of her Engraved Tsukuyomi , it allows Nanashi to control the mind and the chakra of any individual linked with an Engraved Tsukuyomi branding. Yachihoko is a powerful Genjutsu, and works by erasing the memories of any individual it targets, creating puppets that Nanashi is able to manipulate. The Genjutsu itself is powerful enough that even a perfect Jinchūriki , such as Naruto Uzumaki , was unable to have it dispelled by his Tailed Beast , Kurama .

Yachihoko also allows for the manipulation of chakra from to and from the user via those marked with the Engraved Tsukuyomi blemish. Merz was able to absorb the chakra of a vast portion of the Shinobi World using Yachihoko. Additionally, Nanashi could transfer chakra this way, giving it to Boruto on two occasions to allow him to fight.

## Influence [ ]

Like other Mangekyō Sharingan abilities, this one takes its name from ancient Japanese myth. Yachihoko-no-Kami ( 八千矛神 やちほこのかみ or 八千戈神 やちほこのかみ , lit. "God of Eight Thousand Spears") is a name adopted in the Kojiki by the Shintō god Ōkuninushi ( 大国主 オオクニヌシ ), the head of the kunitsukami who governs the earth, nation-building, and agriculture, among other domains.
