The Power Flowing Body (力流体, Shikiryūtai) technique is regarded as the ultimate reconciliation of Taijutsu and Ninshū — essentially surpassing the concept of Nintaijutsu entirely. While it was first used wordlessly by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki[1], the technique was personally named by Seireitou Hyūga and subsequently developed into his signature fighting style.
Overview[]
While the Nintaijutsu are techniques in which one adorns a specific chakra nature onto themselves as a sort of cloak, which strengthens their physical capabilities to some degree, the Power Flowing Body literally turns the user's body into the respective change in nature. Every aspect of their body — from their biological cells to the electrical impulses that their neurons generate — transforms into the designated chakra nature as they literally become an elemental force of nature manipulated solely by their will. It is due to this latter feature that makes users of the technique invulnerable to chakra absorption techniques. They literally become a living Truth-Seeking Ball. More often than not, as their bodies transform into the nature, their form maintains the same humanoid shape as they originally had; however, this can be altered via Yin Release, as Kaguya had done. With the same method, it also allowed her to assume a rabbit-like chakra form.[2] Only those that possess the capability to passively mix together chakra natures are able to use the Power Flowing Body; thus classifying this technique as a Kekkei Mōra.
Kaguya demonstrated the ability to turn her body into the desired change of nature and then detach her own will from it, allowing her body to separate from the creation.[3]
Kasuga Sarutobi had learned the Power Flowing Body technique from Seireitou, her mentor and predecessor, but because she does not possess the ability to mold together chakra natures freely to produce any advanced nature, she is limited to only transforming herself into an entity of Fire Release, Scorch Release, and Lava Release. It is unknown if she can manifest into the other four basic elemental natures as well.
Likewise, Oichi Oda learned the technique from Seireitou as well, but under the same circumstances as Kasuga, she is limited only to transforming her body into the Steel Release. The act of doing so has caused her to essentially becoming a "living sword".
Trivia[]
- In order to understand this technique better, readers of this article are advised to consider this technique to be similar to Logia-type Devil Fruit abilities.
- This technique is associated with Seireitou Hyūga to the point that it is his identification marker, as all people know of "the Sixth Hokage's Power Flowing Body technique".
