Dark Release

The is an advanced   that can be used to absorb, manipulate, and release chakra taken from an opponent. Most wielders of this nature use techniques of this nature through a mark on their left hand that resembles two diamonds, one overlapping the other. Chakra is absorbed through the upper square, while it is released and manipulated through the lower. It is unknown what elements this nature entails.

Others have shown the ability to use this nature to manipulate actual darkness and shadows. This is achieved by placing the hand of the user on the object(s) that they wish to absorb. This creates pure darkness to rush out of the user and consume whatever they touch. This can be cast over a wide area, as well, allowing the user to create a mass of darkness on the ground that entraps opponents and sucks them into the darkness. This way of using Dark Release has only been achieved by Aoma Kuromaru.
