- Changed Spiritual durability to defenses instead as spiritual durability is more liked to the Spirit Attribute and not Yin release itself.
- Edited the interaction with elemental familiars granted sentience.
- Edited the cutting/disintegrating sensation part.
- Clarified effects of increasing/decreasing a target’s spiritual energy.
- Removed any mention of absorbing chakra from enemies directly
- Ensured energy-based elements completely dissipate instead of reverting to a purer state of being.
Custom element Japanese name: Anburaton
Custom element English name: Umbra Release
The element is based on: Yin, Fire, Fuuinjutsu
Facts that prove the element to be possible (in the manga context):
Umbra Release is composed of Fire Release and Yin energy, as well as Fuuinjutsu. In the series, it has been demonstrated that Yin is the energy that governs one’s spiritual energy and areas pertaining to the mind, darkness, imagination, and creation. Through Saruke Uchiha’s use of Yin Release in combination with Lightning Release and Sage chakra, he was capable of producing a black Chidori primarily due to Yin’s ability to give form to the imagination. Through a similar influence, as well as its combination with Fire Release to grant Umbra’s appearance and form, it gains its primary ability: Manipulating spiritual defenses. As the concept of spiritual defenses is directly related to Yin Release, through this one can bolster or reduce a target’s spiritual defenses, allowing them to increase or decrease a target’s spiritual defenses and even inflict negative effects such as dejection and Idleness.
How it works:
In his attempts to replicate the violent purple energies that erupted from voidspace and were masterfully wielded by the Voidlord Phetra in the Palace of Ganzir, Kōtetsu Inuzuka ended up creating an element he referred to as Umbra Release that came to exist through the combination of Fire chakra and Yin energy, with added characteristics of Fuuinjutsu. Umbra Release is somewhat similar to Fire Release in its physical characteristics, taking the appearance of an energetic violet flame. Like with regular fire, Umbra can be manifested in numerous ways. It can be expelled from the user’s body or conjured on the field around them except within short range of an opponent unless the user is also within that range.
Because of Yin’s spiritual properties, Umbra's primary ability allows it to deal spiritual damage to living targets such as summonings, creations, clones, and Edos. Upon striking living beings the flames deal no physical damage, but instead can interact with spiritual energy and inflict spiritual damage while leaving the body undamaged. Because of this enemies struck directly by Umbra possess no noticeable wounds despite the injuries occurring to their spirit, which causes the target to feel a cutting sensation as if they’re being ripped apart while the flames feed on their spirit.
Umbra’s primary ability is based on the concept of spiritual defenses, which is achieved through Yin Release but is not to be confused with Spiritual Health or the ability to recover it. Through this, the user can manipulate the balance between the spiritual and physical energies within themselves and those designated as allies to grant potent spiritual defenses. By adding spiritual energy the user tips the balance to favor Yin, resulting in increasing their defenses against illusions and other spiritual techniques such as Yamanaka and Ronin abilities, reducing the damage done to their spirit by temporarily increasing their defenses. This does not come about from stealing foreign spiritual energy but from the user fortifying the target’s spirit. This can also negate the effects of certain Yang techniques that forcefully cause an imbalance by purging the excess Yang energy.
When an opponent is struck by an Umbra technique they will not only take spiritual damage, but the Yin energy will eat away at their chakra network while applying degenerative effects by reducing the target’s spiritual defenses. These effects follow similar traits to the “properties of sloth”, primarily those which are dejection and idleness. These effects will vary depending on the rank of the technique used but can cause the target to lose coherent perception of the world around them, weakening their ability to defend against genjutsu, and can also hamper their ability to cast techniques of a certain rank or within the same timeframe.
As mentioned above, Umbra Release possessed characteristics of Fuuinjutsu, which is incorporated into the element upon formation. The sealing property gives Umbra a unique aspect that governs its interaction with elemental techniques, including those brought to life through Yang Release, and other chakra or energy-based abilities. Derived from its combination of Fuuinjutsu and Yin Release, “Feed The Void” is a trait that allows Umbra techniques to feed upon those possessing equal or lower chakra than themselves, allowing it to appear as if they're consuming the abilities it interacts with as it neutralizes or overpowers them.
While this ability does not increase the damage of Umbra techniques, it allows them to become self-sustained on the field for an additional number of turns by utilizing the consumed chakra or energy of techniques it overpowers as a sustainment source. This occurs at a rate of -30 per turn. In terms of interactions with elemental techniques and other chakra-based abilities, Umbra will cause those that are not solid in composition to completely dissipate after neutralizing or overpowering them, as opposed to reverting to a purer state of being. Techniques that are purely solid in composition, such as Earth, Ice, or Steel Release will have their forms become unstable and crumble after having the chakra within them consumed. The remains of these Solid techniques deal no damage and cannot be manipulated in any way.
Jutsu Usage Examples:
(Anburaton: Kaichū Tokui-Ten) Umbra Release: Pocket Singularity
Type: Offensive
Rank: B - S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 40 - 60
Damage: 80 - 120
Description: Pocket Singularity encompasses the basic release of Umbra Release. Through this technique, the user can produce Umbra from their body or manifest it around them, though it cannot be created within short range of an opponent unless the user is also within that range, and can shape it in the form of anything from their imagination. This includes projectiles, weapons, walls, vortexes, etc.
Conditions to be able to use it:
The users must be Jounin Rank or higher.
The users must have completed training in Fire Release, Yin Release, and Fuuinjutsu.
Is weak to:
Umbra Release is Neutral to all natures and abilities, except Anutu and its components.
Is strong against:
Umbra Release is Neutral to all natures and abilities, except Anutu and its components, but is superior to raw chakra.

Declined, close but not there. It should be noted that increasing spiritual energy in yourself or others will not allow spiritual healing or grant bonus durability. If the techniques are self sustained, the CEJ will likely have shorter durations. “Feed the Void” also need to trigger against techniques of less chakra, not equal. That can become problematic quickly if there are many CE with Yin or Yang effects triggering at equal chakra costs, if any.
Resubmitting: X
- Noted that increasing spiritual energy does not allow spiritual healing or grant bonus durability.
- Edited Feed the Void’s self-sustainment to trigger against techniques of less chakra.
- Added shorter duration for techniques that last multiple turns.
