Keijijō Shōshin

is a truly hiden technique that has been passed on through the Land of Demons for centuries. The Keijijō Shōshin has been used as succession tool for the ninja monks whom dedicated their life to the esoteric teachings. It is a technique that employs a self-immolation that not only extinguishes the physical vessel but the metaphysical form as well. The user of this technique forbids their spirit from entering the transmigration cycle and instead complete their karmic retribution within the soul of the successor.

Overview
Before becoming the Kongōgan Jizō (金剛願地蔵), Akuhyō had to defeat the previous wielder of the title in spiritual combat. This fight lasted for hours as both parties had exhausted their spiritual energy in order to best one another to which most onlookers would hypothesize that it would end in a stalemate. However, Akuhyō had duality in his corner and was not destined for defeat in this battle. Upon the defeat of the previous Kongōgan Jizō, he requested the Akuhyō carefully study this technique during its use as he figured that he would eventually end up in the same position, fixated with the same glassy stare. To activate the technique, the user performs a hand seal that employs entropy within the biological system. This hand seal is called the Nandi Mudra, and it is a spiritual gesture that is synonymous with willing transmigration. The improper balancing of mental, physical and spiritual energy that make up the totality of the human invokes irreversible results when done to certain extremes. This causes the effect which eradicates the physical vessel by burning the mental, physical and spiritual that resides in them. Once started, the process takes ten seconds to complete and is irreversible in most cases. Thus, they do no exit in the Wheel of Life but exists on a fundamental level as merely components of a spirit.

When burning, their body is covered in a white flame that slowly disintegrates their entire being. The flames do not burn with the sensation of heat but on the contrary, are somewhat cool to the touch and essentially harmless. However, their effects on the body is absolute. It is often used as a method to atone for one’s karmic imbalance as it leaves no spiritual, mental or physical trace of the user. This sacred technique is only passed down from student to teacher. The last person to learn this technique was Akuhyō and has stated that it will never be passed along. Even though he knows how to perform this technique, Akuhyō actively uses when he is in a state of malevolence or apathy. By employing mental commands into the opponent via, his unique ability or his Mind Disturbance Dance Performance Technique, he can cause victims to activate this technique against their will to a terrifying end. In the Land of Demons, there have been at least several dozen cases of missing personnel that could be attributed to this technique. It can also be used on a massive scale via the Bōchōdama no Funen by casting a shadow that detaches the opponent’s will and consciousness from the bodies thus resulting in a massive suicide.
