Pathogenic Sensing Technique

The Pathogenic Sense Technique (病原体感知, Byōgentai Kanchi Jutsu) is a sensing technique passed down within the Aikawa Clan. It enables the user to utilize pathogens within themselves, others and their surroundings as sensing mediums.

Overview
With mere brain waves (脳波, nōha), or Hanchidenkin within their body, the user is able to use to communicate with pathogenic life within their surroundings to obtain information. This is achieved by sending out the aforementioned brain waves which are then picked up by the bacteria and transformed into understandable information in the form of electrical signals.

This method allows the user to utilize any pathogen in their surroundings as sensing mediums capable of revealing various biometric information about their surroundings and those within it. It also allows the user to control and even reprogram foreign pathogens to do their will. Should these brainwaves be projected into pathogens within enemies that are within range of the technique, the user can effectively seize control of the pathogens, often proving lethal depending on the course of action taken afterwards. Because thought waves are the medium by which the user communicates with the pathogens, the technique can be utilized across very long ranges, often in excess of over 32.18 km (20 mi). Various Aikawa have displayed the ability to lace these brainwaves with chakra infused with pathogenic essence, allowing the pathogens to manifest upon arrival to their destination. At any point in time, the user can utilize quorum quenching to disrupt and negate any attempts eavesdropping and any information sent by the user, even from cells and pathogens from within the target's own body.
