The Chain of Agni

"But now let us descend to greater woe. Already every star sinks that was rising when I set out, and too long stay is forbidden."

- Asu Rashoujin

The Chains of Agni are Asu Rashoujin's primary weapon. The legendary chain is also imbued with Asu's legendary power. The power to corrupt. These chains have been around for as long or longer than Asu. Asu would use these chains along side his genjutsu to easily ensnare the opponent, since the chains themselves, even manipulated with chakra cannot move quickly.

Looks
This is a traditional Japanese chain weapon with two steel-weight on the ends designed to strike, ensnare, or trap an opponent. The chain measures approximately 10 meters in length, and both the chain and the weights are made from black steel, making them harder to see in the dark. One tactic in using these chains is to bunch the chain in the fist and fling one weighted end into the face, groin, or solar plexus of the opponent delivering blunt force trauma to the area, meaning that the chain do not necessarily have to be used as a thrown weapon, through it is typical to also throw this chain in order to wrap the opponent's legs together. This chain can also be thrown before drawing another weapon, thus possibly confusing, or surprising the opponent.

Capabilities
Much like the famous blade of Samehada, The Chains of Agni has the ability to drain its opponents, though in a slightly less effective way, since it is not chakra that it absorbs, but spiritual energy. While the chains must be applied to an opponent for this to work, it can also take in free floating spiritual energy, stolen from chakra not bound to a person. These chains are to move themselves through the use of chakra, by using this ability they are able to strangle, constrict and lift an oppopnent with ease. As above, Asu takes great pride in using the chains to insert his overwhelming chakra into the body of the unsuspecting. Once his corrupt chakra is inserted into a victim, they would turn into a grotesque monstrosity based on their own dark hidden desires.
