Spirit Sight Technique

The Spirit Sight Technique (霊観の術, Reikan no Jutsu) is a unique technique that is thought to have descended among those who follow the philosophy of the : communication through chakra and the spirit. This is one of the many applications of this philosophy, whose sole user appears to be Saichō. Through the use of a specific sensory technique, Saichō is capable of visualizing all chakra within a certain range of himself. Then, by utilizing the appropriate hand seals, he provides himself the capability to stir the spirits of those who have interacted with his sensory prowess, therefore allowing him to literally see the spirits from a considerable distance away. The sight of the spirits provides a much higher quality of sensory, allowing him to identify an individual's appearance, discern some traits of their personality, and the overall identity of a person. In this regard, it is a highly effective technique to use for reconnaissance. However, it takes considerable concentration to continue for extended periods of time.
