Adamantine Sealing Chains: Thread-Spinning Technique

## Name

Shinsuke can manipulate his Adamantine Chains to create threads (minature, thin Adamantine Chains) he can freely control. These threads are nearly imperceptible, however they can be seen if they catch light. Their Chakra can also be sensed, although it typically isn't strong enough to draw unwarranted attention. Their range is limited within a 100-meter radius of him, and the number that can be created is limited to the number of fingers he has. The standard offensive usage for this technique is to use them like whips, as they're razor-sharp and will leave lacerations. The stronger Shinsuke is, the deeper they'll cut. If he so wished, they could also "pull their punches" so to speak and thicken the threads to make them more blunt and less lethal. These will leave nasty welts and bruises, but won't otherwise harm the target.

## Applications

### Control

The young Uzumaki can anchor his threads to anything and manipulate it like a puppet. This technique requires tremendous concentration, as it is essentially exerting one's will over that of another's. It works better on inanimate objects that resemble living things, like dolls or puppets. These require little to no concentration, as they have no will of their own, but they can still be moved like the thing it resembles. It'll still work just fine on people, though it's more effective on those of weaker willpower than him. "Control" can also be forcefully dispelled if someone, either the target themselves or a third party, manages to break the threads or their connection to the target. The effectiveness increases with the user's power and the strength of their own willpower.

### Bind

Shinsuke's threads can be reinforced with more Chakra to restrain an individual for a time, and they will tighten around the target like a boa constrictor. The duration depends on how much Chakra was used to bolster the threads, as this technique actively burns through it the moment it's activated. It's most useful at the beginning of battle, when he has the most Chakra. It is, however, unwise to pour all of one's power into this technique. Powerful people can manage to break out just fine. Though, the more threads that are used to bind an individual, the harder it is to do that. Blunt threads are normally used to make this technique non-lethal, however thin ones could also be used to slice his target like minced meat as the threads coil tighter around them. While a target is bound, Shinsuke could even toss them around (like the Hulk did to Loki and Thor). Of course, this does require him to be physically strong enough to even be able do that in the first place.

### Tripwire

He can anchor his threads to two separate points per each one to create a trap for his target. It can be used to create a standard tripwire, or for something more elaborate. A trap could even be created around the target without their notice if he's careful enough, and it can render them immobile if they don't want to get hurt. Such a trap would resemble the stereotypical laser defense systems seen in heist. Only, hitting a thread wouldn't set off an alarm. It would just leave you with a cut, the severity of which would depend on how hard you hit it. Breaking the threads in this technique will cause them to snap like rubber bands and hit you anyway, so doing that is ill-advised if you're adverse to pain. The best use for this technique is to flee from battle, as it isn't particularly strong. At best, it serves as a momentary delay to hinder the user's opponent. But a moment may be all they need to escape a stronger adversary.

### Grapple

If Shinsuke ever dreamed of being '*Spider-Man*', this is that wish fulfilled. He can sling threads to improve mobility by anchoring one end to their target surface. It's particularly useful in urban environments or wooded areas with tall trees, for obvious reasons. It's kinda hard to swing around from things that are close to the ground, after all. This technique could also be used like a grappling hook to simply scale tall skyscrapers, cliff faces, and the like if the user lacks the momentum to simply swing to the top. Either way is not any more or less effective than the other. If he wanted to, shinsuke could also anchor his threads to a living thing to pull it closer without controlling it like a puppet. That could be handy if you wanted to pull someone off of somewhere high up, like a balcony.

### Anchoring

Attaching a thread to something involves the end of a thread stabbing into the target, and Shinsuke sending his Chakra through it to keep the other end stuck inside the target. It could be ripped out, but a chunk of whatever the thread is anchored to will probably come off with it. It would be wiser for opponents to find a way to cut through the thread, or to get Shinsuke to release them.
