Chakra Webbing

Chakra Webbing is an advanced variation of the chakra threads technique and was developed by Kisei Kumo. Like its parent jutsu, chakra webbing produces threads capable of the transmission of chakra, the manipulation of objects, and independent motion. Unlike chakra threads, the form of chakra webbing can be finely controlled and manipulated.

Ordinarily, a chakra thread is a simple cylinder. It attaches at two points at either end, and the thread itself cannot stretch or contract. Kisei's variation produces multiple branching strands, so that rather than being able to produce only a single thread from a tenketsu, he can produce many. Furthermore, the threads themselves can stretch and contract; this enables them to enwrap targets, and sustain more damage as they flex rather than snap. They are also very sticky, as the numerous hair-thin tips adhere to any surface they touch.

Kisei Kumo often employs chakra webbing as an effective trap or impediment; opponents often stumble unknowingly into concealed patches of the stuff, and quickly find the numerous contact points of the webbing allow Kisei to rapidly absorb their chakra. Layering of chakra webbing can produce chakra weave.
