Shodōjutsu



Shodōjutsu (書道術, Shodōjutsu; Literally meaning "Calligraphy Techniques") are a form of techniques devised by Shugami during his time as a mercenary by the name of Fude. This particular form of combat resembles Fūinjutsu most evidently, but its sheer application distinguish it from the other form of combat. Through writing on the air with any form of medium, including the user's own hands, the user projects chakra through the said character in order to emulate the phenomenon expressed within the character's meaning. The techniques primarily gain their abilities from the expression of the user's Yin Release, making them a very powerful branch of techniques with great versatility. Notably, however, individuals cannot create living beings or any phenomenon that is "living", for all phenomena expressed are empowered by chakra, rather than being given life by Yang Release.
