Barrier Armor

Barrier Armor is a branch of Barrier Ninjutsu that is unique to Edagakure and is one of their signature techniques.

Usage
By using Yin Release, the user creates a transparent barrier and coats themselves in it, and is only visible when light reflects off of it. This barrier is strong enough to repel kunai and even sword strikes and does not hamper the user's speed or agility, making this technique useful against bukijutsu specialists.

If the user wishes to be able to grip anything properly, their hands can not be coated in the armor, otherwise they will be unable to grip things like swords or kunai without fumbling them. The barrier is also not a perfect defense, as a strong enough blunt attack or explosives can bypass it.

Trivia

 * Any character from Edagakure may use this technique.
 * Striking the armor has been described as feeling like hitting glass.
