Chakra Hardening Technique

Designed to help shinobi and samurai to withstand hits from taijutsu users, this technique uses chakra to strengthen the entire body. Essentially by crafting multiple layers of dense chakra on the skin and throughout the entire body, the user allows themselves to become much more difficult to injure. It heavily reinforces the body to the point that taijutsu and even kenjutsu from the average fighter becomes incapable of penetrating the skin and body of the user of this technique. It is entirely possible to harden part of the body at a time, though this is a more advanced usage.

The one drawback to this technique, which has proven impossible to eliminate, is that it requires stillness in the section of the body that is hardened. The more the hardened area is moving, the less effective this move is, to the point that at high speed movements it is rendered ineffective in its entirety.
