Redirection Technique

The Redirection technique is a highly advanced defensive technique. After forming the hand seals, the user's chakra is shaped into the exact mirror image of the opponent's technique, matching it perfectly. When the jutsu touches the defense, it is immediately forced, through a natural reaction, to reform to the chakra barrier's shape, allowing it to be diverted. For basic elemental techniques, this takes an amount of chakra relevant to the size of the technique, but for more complex techniques it takes an equal amount to the jutsu to fully redirect the technique with efficiency.
