Bounded Field of Repulsion

is a technique that generates a of varying elasticity that can be used to deflect and shield oneself from incoming attacks. Due to the fact that this defensive manifestation, appearing as a glowing membrane of, is designed to flex in order to absorb and redirect the force of an attack, rather than block them with a rigid construct, the technique is able to protect against assaults that usually require higher class barriers. Unfortunately, while such a barrier is perfect for handling blunt strikes, its less durable composition makes it more vulnerable to piercing and cutting maneuvers. As such, Akiya use of this technique is reserved for a quick defensive application when used on a small scale. Furthermore, it can be used in combination barriers or  instruments to relieve the stress of incoming attacks.

Rather than the normal application of this technique, Kazuhide adapted the barrier to be used as temporary midair foothold. In doing so he is able to effectively operates at altitudes that would be normally impossible without accessing some manner of flight. Additionally, the flexible nature of the barrier allows him to recover some of his momentum from his leaps, allowing him to rebound off of the constructs at a greater velocity than most surfaces. Notably though, this alternative performance makes barriers generated via the expulsion of chakra from one's feet less suited for defensive applications. Therefore, Kazuhide only generally expends the necessary amount of chakra needed to hold him for the fraction of a second as he makes contact with the barrier, with the barriers shattering shortly after.
