Seikōki no Chikara



A power known to the Master monks of In'ei Temple that produces an incredibly potent form of chakra. Hijutsu: Seikoki was perfected by Hozoin In'ei, the first Grand Master of the temple. It is derived from the Gift of the Hermit Group power, using the mechanics of that form of chakra taken to its absolute zenith. It is chakra refined and concentrated to the pinnacle of intensity and power, equivalent to Yin Release, Yang Release, Yin-Yang Release techniques in terms of its versatility and effectiveness in accomplishing tasks outside the realm of normal ninjutsu, though using Seikoki no Chikara is not quite synonymous with a "release". It is a skill that grants the user access to incredibly powerful chakras which they can then use to empower their jutsu far beyond the norm, in addition to producing versatile effects that would be impossible for regular chakra. In terms of its relation to other known forms of chakra and energy, the quality and power of the chakra is equivalent to that of a Tailed Beast in quality, if not quantity.

As such, it does have a relationship to Natural Energy, though the use of this power cannot be called a Sage Mode for several reasons, nor is it exactly senjutsu. It is not even a psuedo-sage mode in the way that Juugo's Clan utilizes natural energy. As stated before, it most closely resembles the chakra of the tailed beasts.

This power, and the attendant form of technique that designates its use in jutsu, is occasionally referred to asreikōjutsu. The power can only be achieved by a specialized ritual in which at least four others with this form of chakra combine their powers to initiate another into their ranks. It is said that this chakra was created for the first time when four adept users of the Gift of the Hermit Group power participated in the ritual with Hozoin In'ei at the center of a unique fuuinjutsu array developed by In'ei himself. Protected in a sealed chamber, he meditated, absorbed their energy, and carefully molded his chakra for seven full days without rest or sustenance. After the arduous ritual was completed, Hozoin was able to use the Seikoki no Chikara at will upon concentration.

It is the final achievement and is only done for those whom have proven themselves ready, due to the fact that it is quite lethal to any who are unprepared for the trial. Only the Grand Master of In'ei Temple knows the secret of the arcane and unique jutsu shiki that allows this to occur, but the technique works in a similar, if less barbaric, manner to the Four Black Fogs Formation.
