Koshinkinshingen (古神金真言, Literally meaning: Old Gods Gold Mantra) is a ring crafted in the age when the Old Gods walked the earth. This ancient artifact is the most venerable and is often considered the oldest object in the shinobi realm. These resplendent golden bands are not mere adornments; they are ancient relics of the illustrious Homusubi Clan, believed to have been forged by the luminary Old Gods themselves in the mists of antiquity. Functioning as both a potent tool and an impenetrable seal for the Homusubi lineage, these bands possess an extraordinary sealing prowess that few can rival. This formidable power is invoked through the utterance of a kotodama—a sacred word that embodies the essence of the soul—spoken in the hallowed tongue of the Old Gods.
Overview[]
Typically, Enji wears these magnificent golden bands as rings encircling the fingers of his right hand, a self-inflicted curse that binds him. This curse serves as both a shield and a prison, preventing the subjugation and manipulation of his mind, body, and spirit while intricately suppressing his chakra and physical abilities at his discretion. Enji and all his targets find themselves bound by this edict of the Old Gods in this intricate web of mysticism, for even the most awe-inspiring techniques cannot mar his form. It’s not just practical; it also complements Enji’s penchant for gold trinkets.
With a touch of magic and a dash of flair, the bands autonomously safeguard Enji, enveloping him in a delicate and shimmering golden aura. This radiant veil offers a fleeting respite from the onslaught of physical, spiritual, and mental shenanigans that life throws his way. When wielded offensively, the second kotodama can be enunciated with grave authority, causing the bands to multiply and ensnare the limbs and head of an adversary. Once clasped by these golden tendrils, the target's chakra is mercilessly suppressed, and any efforts to liberate themselves from the bands prove futile. Any technique currently manifest or poised to be unleashed is abruptly severed from its bonds of manipulation, fading into nothingness as if it were a distant dream. With but a fleeting thought, Enji can compel the bands to forcibly bind the limbs of his foes, inflict excruciating pain, strip away their senses, or lull them into a serene state of blissful slumber. They intertwine the material realm and elegantly encompass the metaphysical, crafting a bewitching mélange where the seen and the unseen converge in a dance of profound connection. Rendered powerless, the target becomes incapable of affecting Enji through their means, left at the mercy of the mighty relics that breathe strength and domination into the venerable legacy of the Homusubi clan.
Though the binding magic is formidable, it can ensnare only a single target at a time. Should the captive dare to invoke the sacred tongue of the Old Gods in a desperate attempt to break free, the repercussions will be dire—such an act will magnify the grip of the golden bands to perilous levels, teetering on the brink of fatality. Astonishingly, while under the thrall of these enchanted restraints, the target remains impervious to external assaults; they cannot suffer from the pangs of hunger or thirst, rendered effectively immortal as long as the bands remain intact. Only the removal of these bindings can grant them their freedom and mortality once more. Enji possesses an extraordinary gift; he can intuitively sense the whereabouts of these bands, wielding the power to summon them across any expanse of distance. With a mere thought, he can draw them to himself or dispatch them into the ether, effortlessly weaving their presence in and out of his reach.
In a breathtaking display of mastery, Enji taps into the very essence of his target's chakra. With such deftness that borders on the sublime, he is capable of replicating nearly any technique that the target possesses, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. Not only can he mimic these abilities, but he can also elevate them to unparalleled heights at his whim, leaving onlookers in a state of awe with mastery and finesse. A remarkable testament to this extraordinary power unfolded when he successfully captured a juvenile Ten-Tails, a feat that enabled him to conjure an Expanding Tailed Beast Ball with nothing more than a delicate motion of his fingertip. However, this extraordinary skill is contingent upon the presence of the golden bands; once they are removed, so too are his abilities. Moreover, this unique prowess can only be focused on a single target at a time, making it a potent yet fleeting advantage in battle.
Trivia[]
- This concept draws inspiration from the golden bands employed by Guanyin in "Journey to the West," which were used to subdue both Sun Wukong and Red Boy.
- Crafted in an era when the Old Gods lingered on the mortal plane, the ring can act as a medium or key for communion with these ancient entities. For the Enji, this might result in flashes of divine insight or prophetic visions—clues to forgotten lore, hidden techniques, or even warnings of impending calamities.
