Instantaneous Path Technique

The Instantaneous Path Technique (無間道の術, Mugendō no Jutsu) is an advanced application of the well known Flying Thunder God Technique developed by Kyōshi Takamori. Rather than instantly transport oneself to a marked location, this technique allows the user to immediately travel along the path of a recently performed.

Overview
To activate this technique the user must first locate the residual energy left behind from a Space–Time Technique in the vicinity, requiring a pristine level of. The time frame that this residual energy can be identified varies amongst different Space–Time Ninjutsu and along with the scale that the technique was performed. This is to say that summoning a massive creature would leave a chakra signature that can be found for longer than a summoning a relatively smaller one. Despite this the chakra signature of any technique usually lasts between an hour and a day, thus being far from permanent in nature. Once the residual chakra signature is identified, the user latches their chakra onto it. Once this is done, the user can can enter a dimensional void at will that with instantaneously transport them along the path of the previously used technique. Kyōshi's primary use of this technique is to track and pursue users of Space–Time techniques, a feat that is impossible under most circumstances.

Weaknesses
Other than the modification of determining the desired location of this technique, the Instantaneous Path Technique operates identically to the Flying Thunder God Technique in terms of speed, physical limitations, and chakra requirements. Additionally, the user's chakra must be in direct contact with the residual energy left behind by another Space–Time technique at the time of activation. Furthermore, by using this skill on the residual energy of another Space–Time technique, the residual energy is eliminated in such away that that path cannot be used by the Instantaneous Path Technique again. Also, the Instantaneous Path Technique cannot be used on a path reused by itself, making it self-limiting it to a degree. Finally, while a previous Space–Time path degrades, the possibility of the pathway becoming less accurate rises. While utilizing such a path will still result in transportation, the location where the user appears may not be the exact alternative spot where the technique was originally performed. Kyōshi has noted that this can make it difficult to pursue some individuals.
