Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets

Kimimaro parts his fingertips, creating holes that expose hardened finger bones. In volleys (five per hand), he shoots these bone bullets at a target by swinging his hand, causing a loud sound as they're fired. The bullets travel incredibly quickly through the air and take a spinning motion. Upon impact, the bullets tear through skin, flesh, and bone. The bullets aren't able to penetrate the Shield of Sand , but in the anime, they can pierce samurai armour. Kimimaro relies on this technique for his long-range attacks.

## Trivia [ ]

- The first two kanji (十指) would normally be pronounced as jisshi ( じっし ) or jusshi ( じゅっし ), rather than the teshi ( てし ) given by the furigana. Teshi probably comes from shushi ( 手指 , finger ), the first kanji of which can also be pronounced as " te ".
- This is Kimimaro's only Shikotsumyaku technique that is not referred to as a dance.
- In video games, such as Ultimate Ninja Storm , Kimimaro uses these bullets as his main projectile instead of the shuriken or kunai used by most characters.
