Middle Path (PKH)

The Middle Path (中道, Chūdō) is an ability of Kisshoten's Rinnegan. Although its not part of the original Six Paths Technique, it can be used within a controlled body.

Usage
The Middle Path allows the user to create a defined area in which is becomes impossible to form and use. By projecting a intangible barrier around the target or desired area, the components of chakra, physical energy and mental energy, can not be created by the body nor combined together as one form chakra, preventing various forms of Jutsu from being used, including Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Fuinjutsu, exc. By casting this barrier on other techniques, it erases them from reality, and can even free one from genjutsu by erasing foreign chakra from the targets body. Unlike conventional Barrier Ninjutsu, the user is able to lock the barrier on a target, allowing it to stay with those that are mobile. The user is immune to the effects of their own barrief surrounding them.

Despite its power, the barrier is limited to a maximum of 25 feet, though if the target exits the barrier, they are capable of creating and using chakra as long as they remain outside of it. Normal users are limited to a max of two barriers, but because Kisshoten possesses five Rinnegan, she is capable of creating five barriers. She can maintain each barrier for five minutes, or sacrifice multiple barriers to increase the time of anothef. After five minutes, the said barrier has a cooldown time of two minutes.

Kisshoten is able to grant use of this technique to her containers.

Trivia

 * It works as the opposite to the Asura Path, as instead generating body paths capable of creating ninjutsu, it generates a barrier capable of destroying ninjutsu.
 * It is similar to the Preta Path in that its a barrier that directly manipulates other chakra.
 * The Middle Path was discovered to lead to Liberation, rather than being an obstacle.
