Ore Release: Weapon Melting Jutsu

Weapon Melting is a basic Ore Release technique, which almost all users of it learn as a way to practice harnessing the nature. It involves using Ore Release to melt the metal in a weapon (one's own or their opponent's) and manipulating it in various ways. It is easiest done through direct physical contact with the weapon in question and does not require any hand signs. Advanced users can partially melt metal from a distance, but it requires much more focus and chakra if done from far away. This technique can be used in a variety of different ways, such as disabling opponents' weapons, reshaping your own in the thick of combat to suit your needs, or most often in Koutetsu Shirei's case: liquefy a kunai blade, thrust it at an oponent ad re-harden it around their hands, similar to handcuffs.
