Wind Guiding Technique

The Wind Guiding Technique is the hiden jutsu of the Jiyūkari Clan, which they use to create their unique kite combat. It allows the user to control winds to an extent, not allowing them to cause massive storms or shape it, but allowing them to guide it and level its strength, so that they can use it to manipulate kites. While this at first seems like a generic wind release, it is actually something completely different, as the users do not use only chakra to shape the winds. They dedicate their entire self, all of their physical and mental energy, into the winds, essentially "becoming" the winds around them mentally. Because of this, they can gauge the wind's strength and direction at will while using this technique, but sacrifice their mental presence in their actual body, moving only to change the positioning of a kite and, in some cases, using the wind to do even that, sacrificing mobility and the ability to respond to stimuli in their person. They also have limited senses, their body's being heavily reduced, but can feel what is around them via wind currents. Using this, the Jiyūkari Clan manipulates the various war kites which they create, using them for a variety of battle styles.
