Hikarimanto (光マント, Lit Meaning: Light Cloak) is an empowered state made famous by the Kyōkuma Clan. This state can be entered by blending raw emotional energy with one’s chakra, creating jōjutsu chakra. Those lucky enough to witness this chakra cloak confuses it with Sage Mode (Sennin Mōdo, 仙人モード) due to the activation process.
Overview
As the High Priestess of Panya (尼僧のパンヤ, Nisō no Panya) is tasked with training the children sent to her, she first identifies which of the seven Gateways (出口, Deguchi) an individual has a strong affinity towards. Once these sentiments are identified she encourages the children to focus on blending their internal chakra reserves with the raw emotional energy surging through them. The children aren’t allowed to graduate until they are able to perform this technique in front of the clan head as well as the various heads of the Main Branch, this technique is viewed as an entry level jutsu and a basic form of jōjutsu (情術, Lit Meaning: Emotion Techniques) manipulation.
The training process for this technique is extremely taxing on the children, for ten hours a day they are required to sit completely still akin to Sage Mode’s (Sennin Mōdo, 仙人モード) training process. As the children are sitting still they must keep their hands clapped together similar to the famous hand seal while their legs remain crossed, they remain in this position while they subconsciously draw on the power of various Gateways they may have a natural affinity for. In order for the first set of twins within a family to participate in the Trial of Sacrifice (進むの犠牲, Shiken no Gisei) to potentially awaken their Giyagan, they must first show that they are capable of performing this technique.
Abilities & Appearance
Hikarimanto itself grants the user a slew of physical enhancements. By clapping their hands together, after five seconds the user’s body is instantly enveloped within an opaque bright white veil of chakra. This veil of chakra is form fitting, creating the illusion that the user is naked, however, because the chakra is so bright it would be impossible to make out any physical features.
