Obsidian Flight

A technique that is perhaps Yami’s most beneficial is his ability to literally transform himself into a shadow. A technique discovered in the Darkforce Realm, Yami’s technique is said to be that of a killer, for it is so quick and instantaneous that foreseeing it is almost impossible. Using this ability, he has chased down the swiftest of foes and have successfully subdued them. A technique that works best in his three dimensional fog, in conjunction with that, Yami is seen as unstoppable, a silent killer, an assassin, a true shinobi in nature. This technique is the true reason he is known and praised as the Shinobi of the Shadows.

How this technique works is truthfully no different than the rest of his techniques, with a few mild exceptions, however the biggest principle that it applies is animation. To initiate this technique, Yami will absorb his own shadow into his body, literally fusing with it temporarily, allowing him to adopt a shadow like quality. Combined with yin and yang solely, Yami can channel his chakra through himself, depending on what he wishes to do, to either become intangible or tangible. When wishing to adopt an intangible like state, Yami will infuse his shadow, which has become apart of him, with yin energy from his spleen allowing his shadow to become intangible. When infusing his shadow with the yang energy from his stomach, his shadow becomes tangible once more. In battle, Yami constantly makes use of these different ratios of yin and yang to become tangible and intangible at will.

What is most notable about this form is the speed increase that it supplies, as Yami is able to travel at near instantaneous speeds without much effort in this form. As the shadow is the absence of light, shadows are often required to exceed speeds much faster than the speeds like that change, however since shadows aren’t entirely real and are just illusions, it does not break any physical laws. When combined with a human body, fused, adopted, the newly fused being adopts the nature of a shadow and the physical laws. As such, while not able to exceed speeds that are faster than the speed of light, Yami can access speeds that accordingly faster than the speed of sound waves when intangible, for any other speed when tangible would have negative effects on his body. By combining his ability to become tangible and intangible at will, in that of a split second, Yami is often seen as untouchable. However, unknown to many, this transformation can only be used for ten minutes maximum, to avoid becoming permanently fused with his shadow. Thus, Yami accesses it only under certain circumstances, though when attempting to brag or show off, he tends to briefly access it and then deactivate it right away.
