Dance of the Clematis: Vine

Dance of the Clematis: Vine — a kenjutsu Kekkei Genkai of the Shikotsumyaku used by Kimimaro. In this state, his spine elongates, forming a tail-like appendage. Kimimaro extracts this spine and uses it as a flexible weapon. The cartilaginous layers between the vertebrae provide mobility, allowing it to act like a whip, and when necessary, the cartilage stretches, increasing the attack range. Spikes protrude on the surface of the vertebrae, which easily pierce the target and reliably secure it. Once the whip wraps around the opponent, they are completely immobilized, creating ideal conditions for a finishing blow.
