Yang Release: Animate

This technique was invented by Raikou to specifically take down The Masked Man. Due to the fact that he knows that he can't win in terms of power but figured it doesn't matter if he has more skill than him.

Overview
Raikou first touches the ground with his hand and sends a bright yellow aura through the ground, composing of his life energy and Yang Release chakra. The light will then cause all inanimate objects to suddenly come to life, within the area, and serve him as his protectors.

Drawbacks
This technique shortens Raikou's life span after each use, which I why it is labeled as a forbidden technique.
