Inoka's utilization of the three disembodied hands is a strategic marvel. In scenarios where the Ino-Shika-Cho formation is not feasible, these spectral limbs become his versatile allies. Through the constant infusion of chakra, these hands exhibit remarkable dexterity, compensating for any physical limitations Inoka might face.
Overview[]
These phantom appendages serve a dual purpose in battle. Firstly, they act as a formidable means of immobilizing adversaries. Swift and intangible, they close in on opponents, disrupting their movements and restricting their freedom. This creates a window of opportunity for Inoka to execute his Mind Switch Body Technique seamlessly. The Mind Switch Body Technique becomes a potent tool in Inoka's hands. With his targets temporarily incapacitated by the spectral hands, he can initiate the mind-switching jutsu without interruption. This not only enables him to mentally interrogate his foes but also grants him a strategic advantage by gaining insights into their plans, tactics, and vital information. In essence, Inoka's combination of disembodied hands and mind-switching prowess showcases a unique and formidable combat strategy, blending the ethereal with the psychological to outmaneuver and extract valuable intelligence from his adversaries. Inoka can also use the chakra stored inside the hands to increase the size of the hands, allowing him to immobilize gigantic opponents. Inoka can also use these hands as a medium for Mind Body Flair.
Rock[]
The Rock form of the Shrouded Hands is a testament to Inoka's raw strength and physical prowess. Channeling chakra into his fists, he delivers closed-fist punches that are not only forceful but also coated in a layer of chakra. These impactful strikes aim to immobilize opponents by targeting pressure points and causing a diminishing of durability upon contact. The goal is to incapacitate adversaries, either knocking them out or inflicting substantial pain that hinders their physical movements.
Scissor[]
In the Scissors form, Inoka demonstrates precision and surgical finesse. This form is designed for making cuts within the body without creating open wounds. The chakra-infused scissors can cut through muscle tissues and tendons with surgical accuracy, rendering the target immobile. This form is particularly effective for strategic incapacitation without causing external injuries, limiting the risk of infection.
Paper[]
The Paper form is the most versatile and frequently employed aspect of the Shrouded Hands. With an open-palm attack resembling the light and flexible nature of paper, Inoka employs this form for both offense and defense. One notable application is the use of the Ephemeral Mirage Technique, allowing the hands to absorb and seal an opponent's jutsu in an alternate dimension. Simultaneously, the other hand can unleash the absorbed jutsu back onto the opponent, turning their own techniques against them.
Bird Cage[]
Simply known as the Bird Cage, this serves as a small dimension that allows Inoka to store body parts and jutsu into this dimension for 10 minutes. When using the coming into contact with the Paper form, the designated body parts are seamlessly teleported into the birdcage, a metaphysical dimension controlled by Inoka's chakra. The birdcage acts as a prison where the removed body parts can be stored, effectively removing them from the immediate physical plane.
In battle scenarios involving multiple opponents, Inoka has demonstrated remarkable tactical prowess. He can trap one opponent in the birdcage, effectively executing a reverse summoning by removing them from the battlefield. Simultaneously, if faced with jutsu attacks from the opponent's teammate, Inoka can utilize the Paper form to absorb these techniques and redirect them into the birdcage, where a trapped opponent may find themselves facing the consequences of their comrade's abilities.
Drawacks[]
The techniques continuous operation necessitates a steady stream of Inoka's chakra, adding strain to his reserves and demanding meticulous chakra management. Moreover, the jutsu's effects are ephemeral, lasting only for ten minutes, requiring Inoka to capitalize on its advantages swiftly. To prevent overuse, each specific ability within the technique faces a cooldown, prohibiting repeated use in quick succession.
