Skeletal Susanoo

Skeletal Susanoo is the initial stage of the Susanoo technique, the highest ability of the Mangekyo Sharingan. The user creates a giant avatar of chakra around themselves, but at this stage only its skeletal structure manifests. Most often, ribs are materialized for basic protection, or a single arm for interacting with the surroundings. Skeletal Susanoo acts as an extension of the user's will: it moves together with them and can strike or block attacks. As the technique develops, the skeleton becomes covered with musculature, skin, and armor, transforming into other forms. Even in skeletal form, Susanoo demands enormous chakra expenditure and is available only to those who have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan in both eyes.
