Dance of the Shikigami

Using his high origami and ninjutsu skills, Seijin will turn his body and clothing into many sheets of paper. He can control and reshape even parts of his body with sheets at will, making such forms as weapons for attack, butterflies for spying, paper airplanes for quick transport, or simply covering his enemy in sheets of paper, restricting and asphyxiating them. Also his papers are expendable, including parts of his body converted to paper; and how much paper he can expend depends on his chakra reserve. He can also hide exploding tags amongst his papers to add a deadly surprise to his attacks. He is capable of hovering while in paper form, and does not require her wings to do so.

In this form, he is weak to oil-based techniques, which causes the paper to stick, but he is not weak against water to the same extent.

Trivia

 * Shikigami, when written as 式神, refers to a kind of spirit summoned to serve an Onmyōji (a kind of sorcerer). These spirits are often depicted as changing into small pieces of paper once harmed or finished with their task. In the name of this technique, the kanji for has been replaced with the kanji for, which is pronounced the same. This is likely done to emphasise the paper nature of Konan's shikigami and to point out the subtle difference between them and traditional shikigami.
