RYŌSASU NO BAKENEKO ^{S RANK}
Dual Marks of the Bakeneko (両点化け猫) are a pair of seals inspired by the legendary bakeneko, which are reportedly capable of devouring anything in their way, big or small. The first seal is placed on the user's right palm. When activated, it will open a gateway to a pocket dimension that has tremendous suction force. Capable of drawing in nearly anything in front of it, even at a significant distance, the seal will violently compress the target even before it passes into the seal. This has proven capable of drawing in several large objects and high-ranking jutsu, even massive discharges of chakra like those exhibited by bijū without fail or harming the user.

The seal on the opposite palm acts as an exit point for the pocket dimension which further compresses whatever is being released to make its velocity and power that much greater. Upon being activated, the contents within the pocket dimension will pour out as a devastating stream. Both seals can be activated at the same time, allowing for whatever is being drawn into the first seal to be almost instantaneously shot out of the second seal with even greater power than when it went in.

The pocket dimension the seals are connected to, while not particularly large, compresses its contents at all times and has boundaries that are durable enough to not unravel even while containing massive amounts of matter and/or energy absorbed by the entry seal. However, should it reach its maximum holding point, Saoru will be notified by the pain on her palms where the seals will slowly start to bulge outward. This gives her the time needed to release the contents before the seals both explode with enough force to wipe out herself and a large area around her. The chakra drain of the technique is relative to the size of what is being compressed and sealed within the pocket dimension.

TEKKŌ FŪHYŌ ^{A RANK}
Iron Armor Sealing Gourd (鉄甲封印) is a technique that seals a target, usually a bijū, within one of Saoru’s unique sealing gourds. Those with strong wills can resist the sealing so the target is often beaten into submission before the sealing is attempted. When two targets are sealed within a gourd, they are capable of interacting with one another. Saoru can summon the gourds by slapping her hands together.

GAKIDŌ NO JUIN ^{A RANK}
Cursed Seal of the Hungry Ghost (餓鬼道の呪印) is an insidious seal that rapidly spreads across the body from the point of application and block's the victim's chakra. This is accomplished by closing nearly all of the tenketsu of its victim, rendering him or her completely immobile and incapable of using jutsu.

FŪJUTSU HITEI FŪIN ^{A RANK}
Blocking Technique Negation Seal (封術否定印)is a highly advanced barrier seal that is capable of absorbing tremendous amounts of kinetic energy, completely negating most physical attacks against Saoru. Even the most powerful of physical strikes are greatly reduced in force. She can then release the absorbed kinetic energy offensively, combining it with the force of her own strikes for devastating blows. Activation of the seal requires a single handseal, and causes the barrier to wrap around her body as a pseudo-armor.

SEIGYO FŪIN ^{B RANK}
Suppression Seal (制御封) is an advanced sealing technique drawing upon Saoru's intimate knowledge and mastery of Fūinjutsu. After forming a series of handseals, the user will place their hands over a seal. A circle-shaped seal will form over it, essentially sealing the first seal within it, completely cutting off the effects and abilities granted by it. Because the suppressed seal is not destroyed, the user can remotely activate their own seal and cause the initial seal to release once more and continue its original effects and capabilities.

HAKUSUI FŪIN ^{B RANK}
Soul Sleep Seal (鎖結封印) is a Fūinjutsu placed on an individual's head that will destroy either a portion of their memories or all of them. After placing the seal, it will begin to absorb the memories of the host, taking roughly five minutes to complete. The user can place a hand on the seal and close their eyes to reject certain memories the seal has absorbed, essentially picking out the ones they wish to erase. After the memories have been absorbed, the seal will destroy itself and the experiences it has stolen, effectively annihilating the memories for good.

KEIYAKU FŪIN ^{B RANK}
The Contract Seal (契約封印) is a seal that, when the user implements this Fūinjutsu on a summoner, it removes any control the summoner has over their summoned creature by blocking the bond that allows them to summon them for a single day. Physical contact and the user's blood are required for the implementation of the seal.

HOZON SHŌIN ^{B RANK}
Preservation Vitality Seal (保存印) is a seal placed on the body of a person that gradually absorbs their chakra until it has stored approximately half the amount of their overall chakra supply. Once it has stored the energy, it remains dormant until released, at which point the sealed chakra floods the body with renewed energy to be used however the user sees fit. The time it takes for both seals to absorb their intended chakra supply takes several days, but can be drastically decreased by forcefully sealing large amounts of chakra within them at one time. Saoru has a seal placed on both of her biceps, granting her double her original chakra supply when she releases them both.

SHŌIDAN FŪIN ^{C RANK}
Fire Bomb Seal (焼夷弾封) is a fairly simple Fūinjutsu that can be branded on a target to be used offensively. It is similar, but far more powerful, than the seals placed on exploding notes. When the seals are released, they release a large fiery explosion that is capable of doing catastrophic damage to the surrounding area.

KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU ^{C RANK}
The Spiritualism Technique (口寄せの術) allows a user to create a blood contract with a tribe or clan of animals to use for both combat and a variety of other uses. The user must perform a set of handseals and then channel their chakra through their palm to summon their contracted animal. Saoru has a contract with a massive clan of Ninchō (Ninja Butterflies), who have the special capability of being able to sense physical and spiritual energies and their signatures through their antennae over vast distances. They come in a wide range of sizes, from the size of a coin to the size of a house.

FŪTON: ONPŪ ^{B RANK}
Wind Release: Spring Breeze (風遁・温風) is an elemental technique only available to the larger echelons of the ninchō's ranks. By flapping their wings repeatedly, they are capable of shaping and compressing the air currents into numerous blades of wind that will fly towards their target. The resulting sharpened blast is large enough to slash targets with numerous lacerations a significant distance from the butterfly.

CHŌBAKU ^{B RANK}
Butterfly Bomb (揺曳噴火) is a variation of usual performance of the Spiritualism Technique. Saoru will summon her butterflies with exploding tags attached to their bodies. They will then fly toward a target and explode once they are within range, dealing massive amounts of damage. When used with hundreds, or even thousands of her butterflies, this jutsu can obliterate large portions of the landscape.

BIMYŌRAN ^{B RANK}
Delicate Disorder (微妙乱) is a technique using the ninja butterfly's antennae as a medium to distort the chakra flow of a target. By surrounding an area with the creatures, Saoru is able to command them to release a frequency of chakra from their antennae that will disturb the flow of chakra in those nearby, disallowing the use of even the most rudimentary forms of chakra control.

HIYŌTSUKAI ^{C RANK}
Messenger Flight (飛揚遣い) is a technique in which the butterflies will become imbued with one of Saoru's seals (becoming a medium), then touch a target to place it on them. She can use it on a massive amount of butterflies to cover an area in her seals, most of which are usually her technique formulas, but others can also be placed as traps.

CHŌ BUNSHIN ^{C RANK}
Butterfly Clone (蝶分身の術) is a cloning technique that allows the user to create identical copies of themselves out of butterflies. The clones retain all the knowledge of their creator, and holds ten percent of the creator's chakra. When struck with a sufficiently powerful force, the butterflies will break apart to be used in other techniques.

SAKURAMATSURI ^{C RANK}
Cherry Blossom Festival (桜祭) is a technique using the dust that coats a butterfly's wings. A cloud of butterflies will fly over the battlefield, releasing a downpour of dust that will refract light in such a way that it appears as a storm of cherry blossoms. It is most often used as a distraction for escape or an ambush.

NANKIRU ^{C RANK}
Soft Edge (軟刃) is a technique using the dust that coats a butterfly's wings. A cloud of butterflies will fly over the battlefield, releasing a downpour of dust that will refract light in such a way that it appears as a rain of daggers flying towards her opponent. If they are struck by the daggers, they will explode harmlessly in a shower of glittering dust.

GYAKU KUCHIYOSE NO JUTSU ^{C RANK}
Reverse Spiritualism Technique (逆口寄せの術) is the counterpart of the Spiritualism Technique. This jutsu allows an animal to summon humans that they have a contract with instantly. Saoru can use this with her butterflies to infiltrate enemy territory without creating needless disturbance.

KUCHIYOSE: YOŪN ^{C RANK}
Spiritualism: Ominous Cloud (口寄せ: 妖雲) is a play-off of the traditional summoning, allowing Saoru to summon members of her secret division of ANBU known as the Yoūn. This is done by a transparent seal placed on their body, and after a performance of handseals she is able to instantaneously use that as an anchor to transport them to her location should she need their assistance. The permission of those being summoned is not needed, and can thus be used on opponents should she get close enough to place the seal on them.

KŌKA ^{B RANK}
Shark Song (歌鮫) is a technique utilizing the Samega (夜牙, Shark Fang) and its vibrating blade. By flowing her chakra through the blade, it will resonate with her spiritual and physical energies. Upon contact with another metal, usually the lip of the scabbard, the metal will vibrate against it in such a way as to project a high-pitched tone over a wide area, overloading the hearing of those within ten meters and knocking them unconscious. Saoru can block out the effects of the noise by creating a temporary wall of chakra within her ear canal.

[The Mad Hatter]

SAMEGA
Shark Fang (夜牙) is a kodachi in the possession of the Yondaime Raikage, and is worn horizontally across her lower back. An exceptionally powerful blade, it is rumored to be one of the swords from the first generation of the Shinobigatana as it carries unique properties that make it an incredibly deadly weapon. By flowing chakra through the blade, the steel will resonate with its wielders spiritual and physical energies causing the blade to vibrate at extremely high frequencies. The vibration of the blade is so great that it allows for the wielder to slice through most metals as though they were butter by acting as a saw. Though the blade appears to be sleek, upon closer inspection one can see the extremely small, sharp "teeth" that line its edge. Because of this, wounds from the blade are more difficult to repair due to the flesh being ripped and torn by the serration rather than cleanly sliced.

MAHANHŌ
The Demon Impression Gourds (魔版匏) are ancient tools originally created by the Shodai Raikage and has since been passed down to the current Raikage to seal the most powerful threats to the village, especially bijū. Thousands of seals are branded upon the surface of the gourds, but appear invisible until something is sealed within the containers, at which point they glow with cryptic symbols of light. One large seal always remains visible on the center of the gourds, and is the focal point of the gourd's sealing power. Any entities sealed within the gourd, despite their strength or power, will be unable to call upon their chakra and will be stuck in an inescapable pocket dimension that appears as nothing more than a bare plateau with a storm swirling all around those trapped in the container. Those trapped in this dimension are only able to be retrieved by the one who sealed them, as the seal only reacts to that person's unique chakra signature.

ANKEN
Dark Blades (暗剣) are small black knives that Saoru keeps concealed within her boots. Aside from being sharp, they carry her Shōidan Fūin (焼夷弾封, Fire Bomb Seal) branded upon their surface in black ink, making the marks invisible to anyone who examines the blades. The Raikage can launch these blades at targets with a swing of her leg.

EISODE
Dark Sleeves (影袖) are the black guards that Saoru wears on her arms. Extending from her elbows, they protect the length of her forearm and the back of her hands. They are made from a durable metal and thus they are capable of taking powerful and direct hits from the sharpest of blades and are often used to deflect incoming projectiles.
