After forming the needed hand signs, the user draws as much metal as they can with their chakra and form two large metallic hands that burst forth from the earth. These hands are extremely durable and heavy due to the wast concentration of chakra within their structure. The hands are extremely useful for offensive or defensive measures. These hands are large enough to protect the user 360 degrees around them and they are extremely hard and can crush bones with one strike. Due to the chakra within them, the metallic hands are also able to use ninjutsu, though they are only seen using Earth Release techniques. Also, the hands can break apart and reform, making them reliable.
However, the chakra needed to use this jutsu is enourmous, exhausting the user after one or two uses. Also, the hands are also crudely made, so a strong enough impact will shatter them. However, combined with the Jojetsu Alloy, the hands are near invincible, harder than before and made of the strongest of metals.
Trivia[]
- This technique is named after the Greek god of metallurgy, Hephaestus. He was credited as the one who made Zeus' lightning bolts as well as the first woman of ancient times, Pandora.
