Temporary Paralysis Technique

Using this technique causes a target or targets to be physically immobilised, as though they've been tied down with invisible steel ropes. Because it's a relatively simple technique, even genin should be able to perform it. However, the strength of the binding varies significantly from one skill level to the next, so a mere genin could not hope to restrain the same targets that an Anbu could, for instance. The Temporary Paralysis Technique is a useful way to stop an opponent from attacking or, alternatively, make an opponent easier to attack.

## Trivia [ ]

- Fūka’s ability to paralyze victims through direct eye contact is a clear reference to Medusa from Greek mythology, whose gaze could instantly "petrify" and immobilize her targets.
- The term Kanashibari (金縛り) is the Japanese word for sleep paralysis . It literally means "bound by metal," referring to the terrifying sensation of being conscious yet unable to move, often attributed in Japanese folklore to spirits or yōkai pinning a person down.
