This is a follow-up technique to the Art of the Elders: Energy Absorption. This technique was the ultimate offensive measure of the legendary Sacred Elder Group, making them a powerful force. It was later learned by Otoshi Nagare, one of the former group, for his own devices. Though his version isn't as powerful, it is still a devastating technique.
After absorbing the energy drained by using the Energy Absorption technique, the user condenses the energy around the dome by molding it with their chakra. Then, when it is ready, the user let their palms out and releases the chakra, which is made non-elemental. The chakra can be released in a dome shaped fashion and spreads for a certain distance or blasted forward in a concentrated beam. The beam is stronger, slamming into their opponent and causing impact damage, severe burning, or even decintegration. The dome is less powerful, but is stil capable of knocking out or killing their targets. It can also attack anyone in any direction.
However, this technique has a few flaws. For one, in order for the attack to work, the barrier must have absorbed a heavy amount of chakra to absorb, or it won't work. Secondly, the blast must be controlled or it could backfire on the one using it. Lastly, after the technique is done, the user or users suffers fatigue and is open to attack for at least five seconds.
Otoshi Nagare has learned this technique well and is able to repel any attacks that his barrier absorbs. Even though the power of his own solitary attack is far weaker than that of the entire Sacred Elder Group combined, it is still a great defensive move, able to keep his opponents at bay and damage them at the same time.
