Scattered Light

Scattered Light (散光, Sankō) is a unique technique developed by Kyōshi Takamori as simple, yet immensely powerful utilization of the. Formulated by considering the basics of the user of this technique reduces chakra into its natural components, which results in a massive release of energy. By specifically controlling the energy released as heat and light Kyōshi is able to personally wield and direct an incredibly destructive force. Furthermore, this ability can be shaped and performed in a variety of manners, allowing for a wide range of uses. Kyōshi particularly favors the use of this technique as a sword-lauched wave of destruction, though it gets used less frequently than his other. It should be noted that as the destructive energy of this technique is merely the byproduct of chakra, and not chakra itself, techniques that specifically absorb or block chakra are not effective countermeasures against Scattered Light.

In addition to offensive uses this technique can also be employed against foreign chakra in a defensive manner, harmlessly reducing into its component materials and light. This defensive maneuver is only effective against energy-based chakra attacks and natures, such as lightning, and can't eliminate skills that utilize physical substrates such as earth. Some barriers are also vulnerable to this technique, though this depends on the barrier in question.
