Sakra Devanam Indra

"The low-minded do wicked actions in consequence of their cruelty. Average men, though pitiful, will do so, when come into distress. But the virtuous, even when in danger of life, are as little capable of transgressing their proper line of conduct as the Ocean its boundary."

- Gaoh Minazuki

Neither adversity nor the brilliancy of sovereign power can relax in the high-minded the virtue of compassion towards living beings. This will be taught now.

Sakra Devanam Indra is an extension of the Sage of Enlightenment's abilities and inner consciousness. This technique does not require traditional hand-signs, but at any rate requires immense concentration. The true body of Sakra Devanam Indra is so massive that it s the length of eight mountains and eight valleys. Not only is the entity the largest of all beings, but it also takes on the true form of a humanoid merged with the "Wheel of Life" also known as the wheel of cyclic existence or wheel of becoming. Witnessing Sakra Devanam Indra is rarity in all cases. Gaoh has only used this technique once before while fighting Asu Rashoujin. Asu once commented on Gaoh's usage of Sakra Devanam Indra to be "magnificent, it is the natural, primordial state or natural condition of the mind, and a body of teachings and meditation practices aimed at realizing that condition."

Gaoh expresses that the keys to using Sakra Devanam Indra are: Direct introduction to one's own nature, not remaining in doubt concerning this unique state and continuing to remain in this state as long as this technique is active.

Abilities
The main ability of Sakra Devanam Indra is its sheer size, with just a simple clap of its hands, Sakra Devanam Indra is able to destroy entire mountain ranges. And because Sakra Devanam Indra is a metaphysical entity, and cannot be attacked through means of physical objects. These techniques are believed to cause severe environmental damage. The land where the weapon was used became barren and all life in and around that area ceased to exist, as both women and men became infertile. There was also a severe decrease in rainfall with the land developing cracks, like in a drought.

The following techniques can be used by Sakra Devanam Indra, though because of their power, require a sacrificial aspect. This aspect can be anything from physical strength to the deprivation of one of the cardinal senses for a time, though whatever is lost is regained when Sakra Devanam Indra is dispelled, though the same cannot be said of the chakra used to summon the entity in the first place.

Brahmasirsha
Sacrificial Aspect - Sense of Touch

This technique, however, does not use an element, but instead uses the command over the spiritual realm. Sakra Devanam Indra starts by turning his Wheel of life,

Weaknesses
Though the main abilities of Sakra Devanam Indra are indeed very powerful the downsides to those is very similar to Gushkin-banda: Summoning Technique: Yamantaka. While normal techniqes does not result in a downside other then chakra cost, the Abilities of Sakra Devanam Indra not only result in a cost of chakra, but also of physical strength. Thusly, while using this techniqe, the user will suffer a multitude of hardships brought on through physical fatigue. More then just fatigue can result from the use of this jutsu. Each technique possesses a sacrifice aspect. Thus, whilst they are out on the field, something is lost. What is temporarily lost can be anything from strength to eyesight, thus limiting what can be done with each one.
