Sage Technique: Fourth Edict of Protection

After entering Sage Mode, using his Grand-mastery of the Four Paths of Empowerment, Ace forms an barrier capable of encompassing a large area. This barrier has several stages, which can be activated if the previous is bypassed. When all stages are in effect, escape becomes nearly impossible.

Because chakra is used to alter the properties of the barrier, and the barrier itself is not composed of chakra, and due to the unique properties of its stages, it can't be absorbed by ninjutsu absorption techniques of chakra absorbtion technqiues, such as the Preta Path or a Chakra Scalpel.
