So we all know what Fuuinjutsu is. It's the art of sealing. Used in many diverse ways in order to aide the shinobi in battle. Whether being used to hide weapons in scrolls, or to seal the enemy completely. It served many purposes in the series. However, what exactly are "seals". How are they made? what's the structure of the seal that gives it its unique functions. I made my own theory about it.

I think seals are the reverse process of "Hand Seals". For you who don't know, Hand Seals are signs made by the shinobi in order to assist them in moulding chakra. They then release it externally, creating Ninjutsu. The type of Ninjutsu depends on how the users mould their chakra. I think Fuuinjutsu is the same process of Ninjutsu, but in reverse. The user weaves several hand seals, which moulds their chakra in a certain way. However, instead of exerting it externally, it's transcribed on their hand, then on the enemy when they make contact. This causes a similar effect of Ninjutsu. However, the effect is internal, rather than external. It causes a certain problem "inside" the opponent's body, which would lead to binding them or storing their physical essence in a scroll. I don't know if my assumptions are true. However, I've always thought of Fuuinjutsu to be that way. I would certainly like to hear your opinions about it. Thanks for your time and peace.
