Cryptids Embrace (謎の抱擁, Nazo no hōyō) is a sinister jutsu inspired by the malevolent spirit of the wendigo. Rooted in the depths of darkness, this jutsu allows the user to unleash a potent wave of killing intent, targeting their enemies with an aura of paralyzing fear.
Overview[]
To invoke the Cryptids Embrace, the user must delve deep into their own inner darkness, embracing the malevolent chakra that resides within. They channel this dark energy, shaping it into a tangible force, and release it in a focused wave that washes over their intended targets. The jutsu's primary effect is to engulf the target in an overwhelming and all-encompassing sense of fear. This fear is so intense that it can cause a sudden and complete paralysis, leaving the victim unable to move or react. Alongside the fear, the jutsu can induce physical weakness. Victims may experience trembling, cold sweats, and a loss of muscle control, rendering them helpless and vulnerable. The psychological scars left by this fearsome technique can endure long after the jutsu's influence fades. These scars may haunt the victim, impacting their future actions and decision-making if they're lucky enough to survive.
