First Performed by: Orochimaru Type of Technique: JuinJutsu Chapter: 49 A Juinjutsu (curse seal technique) technique which resembles the Mitsu Tomoe, an Asian symbol representing the relationship between Heaven, Earth, and Man. It also resembles a snakebite, not only because of its design, but because it is emblazoned upon the victim's skin with the ninja's teeth, which means that this seal is probably the creation of Orochimaru. The initial shock of receiving the seal is painful, at first. And the odds of surviving it are one out of ten. Also, the ninja who performs the seal, apparently, shares a symbiotic bond with the victim, allowing them to activate the seal to inhibit the target and cause pain. However, after the recovery of receiving the Tenfuuin, the bearer can now, for a short time, draw out more of their chakra while using the seal. The more chakra they use, and the longer the seal is active, the more it spreads across their body. This is the first level of the cursed seal and is somewhat exhausting. There is a second level of the curse where the seal itself has encompassed the bearer's entire body, turning their skin dark and making them appear as a demon with incredible power, bringing much more chakra to the surface, increasing the ninja's strength tenfold. However, this second level of the cursed seal is much more exhausting than the first. It requires the ingestion of Seishingan, which are pills that induce a comatose state. Afterwards, the Shikokumujin (Four Seals of the Dark Mist) is performed, sealing the ninja inside a barrier until the seal completes its transformation. If there is a further level of the seal, it has yet to be seen. There are variations to this seal, apparently, as Orochimaru has four servants with seals similar to the Tenfuuin in terms of ability, but whose curse seal spreads and takes on a different patterns than this one. The bite marks on or around these ninjas' necks are also different, though it has not been revealed what types of seals they are, yet. First performed by Orochimaru in chapter forty-nine. Both Uchiha Sasuke and Mitarashi Anko have received this Juin (curse seal). The four Sound-nin (Kidoumaru, Jiroubou, Sakon, and Tayuya) have different looking seals when they begin to spread, so there might be a difference between theirs and the Tenfuuin. |
