Hazama-Ryu Kekkai Technique

Both Sumimura and Yukimura families use this technique when they are faced with Ayakashi. It is said by Shigemori Sumimura that this technique integrates utility and effectiveness.

Hazama-ryu Kekkai Technique (間流結界術, Hazama-Ryū Kekkai Jutsu)

• Hoi （方囲 Hōi, Engulf) : Designates a target.

• Joso (定礎 Jōso, Cornerstone) : Determines where to create the kekkai.

• Ketsu (結 Bind) : Creates and activates the kekkai.

• Kai (解 Release) : Dispels the kekkai without injuring the target trapped inside.

• Metsu (滅 Destroy) : Compresses a kekkai, destroying what is trapped inside.

• Tenketsu (天穴 Heavenly Hole) : Opens the door to the other world and send the shards of the enemy through to prevent regeneration. This technique seems to require a special staff with a hoop at the end to perform.

• Zekkai (絶界 Severing boundary) : A technique that allows the user to either dispel another's kekkai or repel the attack of an enemy. Depending on the strength of the user, it varies in appearance (e.g. "black aura"). It is recommended that it not be used excessively.

• Nenshi (念糸 Thread) : A technique that creates an energy·thread. It is used for binding, capturing and torture by squeezing. The "Nenshi" comes out from the palm of the user. The seal around Madaro's neck is made of beads strung together with nenshi.
