Assimilation Soul Technique

Stemming from the Kisshoten's power as well as the Human Path, the Assimilation Soul Technique allows Jigoku to assimilate the souls of others, gaining access to their chakra reserves and techniques they knew in life, while storing their souls within the King of Hell, or himself. When storing the souls within himself, they are linked to the user, enabling him to use these souls in place of his own, using them to survive Osamu's nine phatoms dragons demonic soul harvest, though he loses access to several techniques associated with the stolen souls.

While this technique would normally require contact, Jigoku is able to use it through his telekinetic and gravitational abilities.

Jigoku first displayed this technique when he assimilated the souls of every shinobi in {{nw|Kumogakure]], before replicating some of the techniques of shinobi he had slain, including the A's Lightning Release Chakra Mode, and {{nw|Darui}}'s Black Lightning.

This technique can be effectively used against the souls of {{nw|Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation|Edo Tensei}}, breaking down their immortal bodies while forfeiting the contract, thus disabling the jutsu.

Jikogu has hinted at using this technique to seal {{nw|Tailed Beast}}s in a similar fashion to the {{nw|Demonic Statue of the Outer Path}}.

All members of Legion are able to preform a lesser for of this technique, consuming the victim's Chakra instead, while boosting their life-force.
