Chakra Release: Impenetrable Barrier

Using the incredible amount of chakra released during the use of the Eight Gates, Shikizaki may use it to form an incredibly dense layer of liquidified/solidified chakra. This layer of chakra is incredibly mobile, and can move around the user at tremendous speed and agility. It is also said to be incredibly hard, matching the durability of several Rashomon put together, with the mass to boot, and can be rapidly reformed to different shapes to be used in battle.

This is used by Shikizaki to defend himself from any sudden bursts of extremely powerful ninjutsu, and to aid his survival in dangerous situations. It can also vastly improve his Taijutsu, giving the opponent an additional thing to worry about.

This uses immense amounts of chakra, and requires a lot of control to maintain.
