Four Symbols Seal

The Four Symbols Seal is a powerful seal formula, mainly used for sealing giant enemies or large amounts of chakra into another being. This is why Minato used it to seal the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. Because of its power and the difficulty of performing it, the user of this jutsu has to have great skill.

This sealing formula can be used in combination with the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. After the Shinigami pulls out the soul of the victim, it is then sealed using two Four Symbol Seals, in a manner called the Eight Trigrams Sealing Style.
