Light Release: Aperture Shift

Light Release: Aperture Shift is an elemental Ninjutsu that mimics the effects while outclassing Space-Time Ninjutsu. Though extreme knowledge of Space-Time techniques are needed to perform this jutsu safely it is not to be considered a space-time ninjutsu in and of itself. The knowledge needed in particular is that of quantum entanglement. This is because contrary to popular belief, Aperture Shift is not an advanced body flicker. In fact, it isn't based on speed at all and can be called a true instant teleportation just like the 4th hokage's techniques it was inspired by. Usage of this technique without the proper knowledge prior is to be as foolish as trying to use a summoning ninjutsu without first writing out the contract, in short it would be akin to a death wish less the god of luck themselves is watching over you just as the one of destiny must have for Jiraiya that fateful day. Unlike being teleported to an unknown location, Aperture Shift has the potential to outright kill without proper experience. This is because the technique is performed by quantum entangling two separate groups of photons, one being the destination and the other being the target. Once the destination is locked the target that is emitting photons will then be completely turned into light particles as they suddenly switch places with the destination photons. This is why advanced knowledge of space-time is required along with an equal intelligence as the jutsu is often performed in under a split second at the highest of levels and any mistake to preparation of the jutsu within that tiny time frame is disastrous. As his genius is undebatable, Yukio has never even come close to failure in its execution however its particular danger has made it one of the few techniques he will refuse to pass down to any of his students.

It should be noted that Aperture Shift can be performed on anything or anyone however the larger an object the more chakra it will consume as the target must be covered in light before the entire of the atoms are converted and as one would assume, the more cloaking needed the more energy used. Distance however has no affect on chakra usage as the distance isn't outright "traveled" so its measurement when considering energy used is a mute point. It should also be stated that anything biological, especially shinobi with experience in genjutsu or chakra sensory, will have an early split second warning even if they cannot see the light suddenly enveloping them before the teleportation. This is because even an already blind person should be able to still sense the foreign chakra cloaking them provided they have the skill to sense it and the speed to react to it. It has become harder to do so as Yukio has grown faster and more efficient with the technique but those who are capable of dodging light speed assaults deserve credit where credit is due. Yukio has been seen using a varied version of the jutsu that prepares the target photons outside of the opponent before laying them as a trap and leading the victim into a forced teleportation similar to how the Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder can be used to teleport away anything that comes into contact with it. However unlike the flying thunder god, Yukio has not given a secondary name for the alternate usage of the technique. and considers them to be the exact same with just different methods of execution for different levels of speedy opponents.

Moderator Note: As Yukio's version of Light Release is a Kekkei Touta that can be learned by those with the necessary affinities most of his techniques are free for grabs by those with the needed skill and arsenal. This is because I've stated several times in his bio that Yukio has had many students over the years as he has had a keen interesting in guiding the shinobi of the future. However this jutsu is to be considered a special case, even after I am long gone from the roleplay. Anyone that wants to use this technique cannot just simple take and use it like most of mine. If they do not have at least a 60 in Space-time ninjutsu skill wise, ultimately an 70 knowledge wise and an intelligence stat of at least 4, I want usage of this technique to be considered lethal. Anyone who does have the needed stats should still get exclusive permission from me and all of those with said permission will be listed on this page under users. I'm am putting this on the wiki page to make it easier for Mods in the future in case its ever brought up and asked. For any roleplayers reading this, feel free to use any of my other custom techniques that don't have exceptions written at the bottom in Moderator Notes such as this one. You don't need to waste your time asking, I consider it a compliment and an honor.
