        It’s almost certainly Shikamaru like @JoeByeThen@hexbear.net posted. Basically, he can extend his shadow out and it it touches someone else’s shadow then the opponent will do whatever he does. He used it to get someone, back them up to a wall, and have them bang their head against it. Another time he grabbed someone and walked them into a trap he made.

        NO IT’S NOT. I recognize it 100%. It’s a very significant end game plot point where a technique is simply released.

    Resembles a mudra used both by Brahmanists and tantric Buddhists, except usually it’s only the pointer finger held in the other fist. The fishnet sleeve brings the Shingon sect’s association with ninjutsu to mind. The pop culture image of the ninja often wears a fishnet undershirt.

    The set of Shingon mudras that include this one are called kuji-in in Japanese.

    edit: answered better by others

      The pop culture image of the ninja often wears a fishnet undershirt.

      It’s worth noting that this is kind of a Western misunderstanding based on old Japanese art. The “fishnets” are just an oldschool Japanese way of stylizing chainmail. They’re wearing light armor.

          That’s debatable

          Have you seen the documentary, Final Fantasy XIV?

    No name from me but it’s the gesture that Naruto and Sasuke made at the end of their final battle while everyone was napping to wake the world. The name of the gesture is mentioned at some point

      I was about to say it looks like a jutsu from Naruto but then I noticed the arms were different and I didn’t remember two people doing a jutsu by joining hands (I’ve only watched like 2 seasons of Naruto though)

      One of the arms also has the fishnet sleeves the author really loves to give his characters.

        Naruto and Sasuke both lost an arm in their last battle, could just be kind of a “this would be neat” thing where they could theoretically need to do this to complete a jutsu together. Though by that point in the series pretty much no one ever uses hand signs anymore. Also Naruto could make a thousand hands to do this with, he doesn’t need Sasuke’s lmao

          Oh so it doesn’t come from a real frame? It’s a cool concept for a tatto if that’s the case

            Tbh it might, I do remember people pulling this trick with enemies in a couple of battles. I think maybe Sasuke did it against Naruto in the last battle in the anime but not in the manga? But afaik we’ve never seen anyone do it with consent lol

    It’s one of the gang signs hand seals from Naruto, specifically the Rat one

    They’re based on Chinese Zodiac signs, so maybe there’s something there, though they could just be a fan.

    To me it looks like the hands of two different people, like a sensual embrace of sorts

    Is it supposed to represent the “dispell” thing they do when they break from illusions and stuff in naruto? Makes sense as a theme for a tattoo. Even if a bit juvenile it has a good message
