Chakra Absorption Technique

A is a technique that allows the user to absorb an opponent's chakra.

Some ninja, such as Yoroi Akadō and Jirōbō, are able to use this technique by merely coming into contact with an opponent, while most ninja require a medium to absorb chakra through. The great blade Samehada is able to absorb its opponents chakra as well as share it with its wielder. Kisame Hoshigaki has also displayed the ability to absorb chakra on his own. The Ultimate Summoning Animal has also demonstrated the ability to absorb chakra.
