Kunitsukami

A tactical dōjutsu apparently unique to Kimi's Mangekyō Sharingan, it greatly increases any attack's range by creating ethereal copies at different short ranges from the original position of the attack, which are capable of doing physical harm. Like most of the other Mangekyō Sharingan abilities, the usage of this technique puts great physical strain on the user and causes the vision to deteriorate with each consecutive use, unless the user possesses the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

Usage
Kimi needs to focus on the target of the dōjutsu, at which point she can immediately create ethereal copies of the target that will imitate the targets movements for as long as Kimi sustains the dōjutsu and keeps her focal point on the target. Another way of using this technique, is by "recording" the target's movements, and then "replay" them moments later, effectively repeating the same attack up to five meters from the target's current position. It could be compared to creating illusory afterimages/clones/"ghosts" of the target (only a maximum number of four clones can be created per use), be it physical or in chakra form, that will "materialize" up to a maximum range of five meters from the target's current position, and can either imitate the target's movements for up to five seconds or "replay" the target's actions for the past five seconds prior to the activation of the technique. Despite the clones being able to cause physical contact, they themselves cannot be stopped by any means other than by blocking the caster's line of sight with the target or by causing the caster to interrupt the technique, either on their own free will or by force. Due to how suddenly the clones "materialize", the enemy is often caught of guard.

One great disadvantage of this technique is that it leaves the user pretty much wide open, as the user cannot break the line of sight with the target (even simply blinking can interfere with the technique), and is left vulnerable to attacks from the sides or back. Another disadvantage is that it cannot be used on the caster itself, but it can be used on a shadow clone, ally or projectiles aimed at the enemy. As such, it is best used by switching out with a shadow clone or an ally, while keeping a safe distance from the enemy. Also, the longer the duration of the technique and greater number of clones, the greater the strain put on the user.

Influence
The Kunitsukami are the group of gods in Shinto belief belonging to the Earth, in contrast with the Amatsukami, the gods in the Heavens. Among the Kunitsukami, Sarutahiko Ōkami is their leader and the most popular of the group, due to the fact of being the one to greet Ninigi, Amaterasu's grandson, to the Japanese archipelago.
