Sealing jutsu
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sealing jutsu (封印術 Fūin jutsu?) are techniques that 'seal' things into another object in the anime and manga series Naruto.
[edit] Black Sealing Method
- Name: Fūkoku Hōin, 封黒法印, literally "Black Sealing Method"
- Type: B-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Sakon
This jutsu is used in conjunction with the Four Black Fog Formation Seal technique. After the individual is sealed in the container, this seal is further added as a binding layer of protection. To create the seal, the user writes the incantation in blood on the sealing tag, and attaches it to the container.
[edit] Dead Demon Consuming Seal
- Name: Shiki Fūjin, 屍鬼封尽, literally "Dead Demon Consuming Seal" or "Corpse Demon Consuming Seal", English "Sealing Jutsu: Reaper Death Seal"
- Type: S-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Fourth Hokage, Third Hokage
When performed, this jutsu ends the lives of both the target and the user by taking their souls. Using this jutsu invokes the powers of the death god (shinigami), which hovers behind the user. It remains invisible to the opponent until its arm has grasped their soul. Upon being summoned, the death god reaches its arm into the summoner, signifying the hold it has upon the summoner's soul. Once the soul is taken, the death god devours them both, locking the two souls in an eternal battle. This jutsu can also be performed through clones, though the user's soul will be sealed, regardless.
This jutsu along with Eight Trigrams Sealing Style and Four Symbols Seal were used by the Fourth Hokage to seal the nine-tailed demon fox. Instead of sealing it within himself, however, he was able to place the seal on Naruto.
The Third Hokage attempted to use this technique against Orochimaru, but was badly wounded and near death when he performed it. Unable to seal Orochimaru's entire soul, the Third opted to seal Orochimaru's arms, rendering them useless and in intense pain.
[edit] Eight Trigrams Sealing Style
- Name: Hakke no Fūin Shiki, 八卦の封印式, literally "Eight Trigrams Sealing Style", English TV "Eight Signed Seal"
- Type: No rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Fourth Hokage, Third Hokage
This jutsu was used in conjunction with the Dead Demon Seal to seal the demon fox within Naruto Uzumaki. This seal allows the two Four Symbols Seals to leak the demon fox's chakra back into Naruto's own chakra.
[edit] Evil Sealing Method
- Name: Fūja Hōin, 封邪法印, literally "Evil Sealing Method", English TV "Curse Sealing"
- Type: A-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Kakashi Hatake
This jutsu is used by Kakashi on Sasuke Uchiha's Cursed Seal of Heaven to hamper its activation. This seal is dependent on the recipient's willpower to some extent.
[edit] Fire Sealing Method
- Name: Fūka Hōin, 封火法印, literally "Fire Sealing Method"
- Type: B-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Jiraiya
This jutsu allows the user to seal nearby fire. The user writes the seal on a scroll and then performs the required handseals. This causes a vapor to appear from the scroll, enveloping the fire and sealing it on the scroll as the kanji for seal (封). Jiraiya used this jutsu to seal away the left over black fire from Itachi Uchiha's Amaterasu technique, an impressive feat, considering that Amaterasu's flames are as hot as the sun.
[edit] Five Elements Seal
- Name: Gogyō Fūin, 五行封印, literally "Five Elements Seal", English TV "Five Pronged Seal"
- Type: A-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Orochimaru
This jutsu is used to strengthen the seal on the demon fox. The original seal allowed the demon fox's chakra to seep out into Naruto Uzumaki, but the additional seal disturbs this, preventing Naruto from using the demon fox's chakra or even controlling his own chakra properly. This is because an odd-numbered seal creates an imbalance when placed on top of an even-numbered seal. The five elements in the seal are probably wood (木), fire (火), earth (土), metal (金), and water (水) though it may possibly refer to the Japanese five elements version which contains earth (chi), water (sui), fire (ka), wind (fū), and void/heaven (kū). This is difficult to ascertain as many Japanese anime/manga will use either version.
[edit] Five Elements Unseal
- Name: Gogyō Kaiin, 五行解印, literally "Five Elements Unseal" English TV "Five Pronged Seal Release"
- Type: A-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Jiraiya
This jutsu undoes the Five Elements Seal, once again allowing Naruto Uzumaki to properly control his chakra and access the demon fox's chakra.
[edit] Five Seal Barrier
- Name: Gofū Kekkai, 五封結界, literally "Five Seal Barrier"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Akatsuki
This jutsu involves a seal placed to create a barrier and four other seals placed around the vicinity. The barrier seal restricts entry while the other four prevent the seal from being removed. All five must be removed at the same time for the barrier to fall. The other four seals can be scattered across a considerable distance, at least a kilometer, making them difficult to locate.
In addition to the barrier made by the seals, the four scattered seals used by Akatsuki have an additional booby trap in place should anyone remove them. When removed, a clone of the person that removed them is produced from the ground. The clone seems to be an exact copy, as Tenten's clone had a working weapons scroll as well as the knowledge to use it. Conversely, the clones do not seem to be as powerful as the original, as all the clones were defeated within a short period of time and with no injuries to the genuine article.
[edit] Four Black Fog Formation Seal
- Name: Shikokumujin, 四黒霧陣, literally "Four Black Fog Formation Seal"
- Type: B-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Sound Four
This jutsu is used to reduce the effects of the seishingan drug. While under influence of this seal, the drugged person won't die, but rather be put in a temporary coma. This forces their body to be able to handle a level two cursed seal.
[edit] Four Symbols Seal
- Name: Shishō Fūin, 四象封印, literally "Four Symbols Seal", English TV "Double Tetragram Seal"
- Type: No rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
- Users: Fourth Hokage
This jutsu was used to seal the demon fox into Naruto.
[edit] Sealing Technique: Illusionary Dragon Nine Consuming Seals
- Name: Fūin Jutsu: Genryū Kyū Fūjin, 封印術・幻龍九封尽, literally "Sealing Technique: Illusionary Dragon Nine Consuming Seals"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Akatsuki leader
This jutsu is used by the Akatsuki leader and his subordinates in tandem to forcibly drain the spirit and chakra of the tailed beasts from their hosts, then seal it in a large statue. The jutsu takes three days to complete. Kisame Hoshigaki commented that the jutsu takes longer without Orochimaru present, though whether this means that Orochimaru created the jutsu, or that all ten Akatsuki members are necessary for the greatest efficiency is unknown. When performed, this jutsu causes the bit to fall out of the mouth of an enormous wooden statue summoned by the Akatsuki leader. Nine dragon-like effigies then pour from the statue's mouth, surround the captured host, and remove the tailed beast from them (the process seems quite agonizing to the host). In the case of an unsealed tailed beast, the same thing happens to the beast itself.
[edit] Sealing Technique: Three Directions Seal
- Name: Fūin Jutsu: Sanhōfūin , 封印術・三方封印, literally "Sealing Technique: Three Directions Seal"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Third Hokage (Naruto: Narutimate Hero 3)
Two shadow clones are created by the Third, forming together the vertices of a triangle. By performing hand seals, a tetrahedral form of light traps the target, who is sent to another dimension.
[edit] Shadow Seal: Release
- Name: Infūin: Kai, 蔭封印・解, literally "Shadow Seal: Release"
- Type: S-rank, Supplementary
- Users: Tsunade
This jutsu releases the chakra stored inside the seal on Tsunade's forehead. She then uses this chakra for her Creation Rebirth, a powerful regeneration technique.
[edit] Subdue Seal
- Name: Ō Fūin, 押封印, literally "Subdue Seal" or "Subsiding Seal"
- Type: Unknown
- Users: Jiraiya
During the timeskip, Jiraiya created a special written seal designed to suppress the effects of the demon fox's chakra when it is placed on Naruto Uzumaki's body, including chakra leakage and personality changes. Although Jiraiya must create the seal, it appears that anyone can apply it successfully, as seen when Kakashi Hatake prevented Naruto from assuming a two-tailed form of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
