| abstract | - Two of the Three Great Dōjutsu, the Sharingan and the Byakugan, have often been compared to opposing sides of a single coin. This is due to the fact that the former possesses an affinity for Yin (as evidenced by its illusory capabilities and the exceptional shape transformation capacity of its heightened form) while the latter possesses an affinity for Yang. However, up until the present, the boundaries of the Byakugan's relationship with the element of life itself has yet to be tested...until now. Tajikarao is a ninjutsu developed specifically to rely upon a simultaneous employment of the Byakugan and the Yang Release in order to result in the siphoning of physical energies from one's surroundings. In order to accomplish this, the user must first activate their Byakugan. Upon activation, the Byakugan is capable of a great many things; but only a pair of traits are focused upon through this technique. These are its ability to perceive chakra, its flow, and the circulatory networks within living beings; in addition to its ability to "zoom" in on objects telescopically across great distances. From this point, the user then introduces Yang-themed chakra directly to the eyes by means of basic chakra flow. This results in the focusing of the Byakugan only to focus upon physical energies for the time being. (It is to be noted that, if the individual so chooses, he or she can activate Tajikarao within a single eye; or both. However, the total effect is all but doubled when both are utilized.) With this focus in place, the individual is then clearly able to perceive the physical energies residing within the circulatory network. What's more, due to the Byakugan's sensory prowess, the individual can easily expand this perception through the spread of the Byakugan's field of vision: a feat which is easily accomplished by even the most average Hyūga. With the physical energies of all surrounding, living beings clearly visible to the user's sight, the Hyūga then activates the second stage of the technique. This, once again, relies upon the Yang Release and results in the rapid siphoning of the aforementioned energies from these individuals. To those within the wielder's field of vision, the sensation is much akin to a sudden, yet continual, loss of stamina; almost as if the target(s) were running great distances at top speed. Once siphoned, these energies are immediately contributed to the user's chakra reserves or can be immediately utilized to bolster additional ninjutsu.
