Dark Release: Gathering Leeches

Dark Release: Gathering Leeches is a variant of the original technique, Hungering Leeches. Rather than create individual tendrils to seek out their target, the user gathers a multitude into one corporeal form.

This mass of dark tendrils is then given a humanoid form and directed at the users target, where it's large size grants considerable melee abilities. Additionally, it can manifest the creators' ability to absorb chakra through it's palms or mouth.

Use of this technique requires a tremendous amount of chakra, and usually leaves the castor feeling exhausted afterwards, making it ill-suited in a direct combat role.
