Chapter 268: Ch.268 Overwhelmingly Powerful
Looking at Ido's now tangible spiritual form, Uchiha Shinji's expression grew slightly stern as he mused inwardly, "A variant of the 'Spirit Transformation Jutsu,' huh?"
He was well aware of the power of the "Spirit Transformation Jutsu."
Kato Dan, an elite jonin who aspired to become Hokage, had relied on his mastery of the "Spirit Transformation Jutsu" to shine brilliantly in countless wars.
The "Spirit Transformation Jutsu" allowed his soul to break free from the confines of his body, moving freely across the battlefield as a spirit. He could either use his spiritual form to directly slay enemies or invade their mental worlds, seizing control of their bodies and shattering their minds.
In short, once transformed into a spirit, he gained the ability to reap enemy lives at will on the battlefield!
But just as terrifying as the "Spirit Transformation Jutsu's" power was, its training difficulty was equally fearsome.
In difficulty rankings, it was classified as S-rank.
In other words, it was a ninjutsu that even Kage-level powerhouses weren't guaranteed to master.
At the same time, because it required the soul to detach from the body, the "Spirit Transformation Jutsu" was also a forbidden technique.
While the body constrained the soul, it also constantly protected it. For any shinobi below the Six Paths level, the spiritual form was relatively fragile.
Thus, for practitioners of the "Spirit Transformation Jutsu," once their spirit left the body's protection, they were vulnerable to unexpected dangers at any moment.
