Second Movement: Thorn

The user creates various thorn-like bones from any and all appendages (arms and legs), extremities (fingers and toes), and her torso/back. This creates a fern-like structure made of bones on her body, discouraging people from attempting to use taijutsu on her.

Despite that, this technique works excellently alongside the user's own taijutsu if the said user knows where the spike-like bones are in relation to where the user will be moving. This technique is highly useful against medium-less clones, as even touching one of the many thorn-like projections can and will dissipate the clone.

This technique can also become a defensive measure, preventing opposing taijutsu or kenjutsu users from attacking, or it can become even more offensive, as the veritable rose bush of bones can cut swaths through an army on its own.

This jutsu is second in a series of five techniques created by Koto Kaguya that utilize her kekkei genkai, the Shikotsumyaku.

Trivia

 * Similar to the prior technique in this series, this technique has some similarities to Kimimaro's techniques; namely Dance of the Willow and Dance of the Larch, which this technique takes inspiration from.
 * This technique is also the last of the five techniques created by Koto Kaguya that is heavily inspired by Kimimaro's.
