Chakra Hound Technique

Inuton (犬遁, "Dog Style) is a rare Jutsu developed by Tatsuya during his time as an ANBU, with the assistance of several supervisers and other ANBU members. Inuton, while not actually a form of release or Kekkei Genkai is named so because of the fact that it in one jutsu can make use of Fire, Earth, and Wind elements - being a Hiden Jutsu only those currently in the ANBU are taught its usage; and to teach it to someone outside of ANBU, even if they had been ANBU themselves at an earlier point is concidered a crime unless the instructor has acclaimed specific clearance on the matter from one of his superiours, usually the current Hokage or the current Head of the unit.

The Jutsu is activated in much the same manner as many other Jutsu by first gathering Chakra in their body and expelling it from their mouth in a semi-corporeal wolf or dog-like form composed entirely of chakra; the user will then most commonly convert that chakra shape into one of the supported elements and thus complete the technique; more experienced users are known ti bypass this last stage entirely and do the element-change while they still knead chakra in their body in a matter similiar to the mechanics of the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. They can be summoned in large clusters by one of great skill; but are commonly summoned one and one, or two and two at the time to prevent overexerting the users Chakra.

The Technique is known to be notoriously difficult due to the fact that it requires advanced knowledge of both nature and shape manipulation; in addition to having a great deal of willpower as the summoned chakra dogs can only be commanded trough mental commands from their respective user; if he or she is too weak willed the Chakra dogs will either simply stand idle until they dissipate or will randomly attack anything in their way.
