To a degree this allows the user to [[Wikipedia:Reality warping|control their own state of existence]], but it is normally only active for the briefest of moments.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 479, page 3</ref> While the user remains physically real while fighting, this technique is capable of turning any occurrence including injuries and even death inflicted upon themselves while the technique is active into mere "illusions". Whenever the user receives a fatal injury, he or she automatically fades away as though they were an illusion all along and then returns back to reality; physically real and unscathed. The technique is based on an ability the [[Sage of the Six Paths]] had, referred to as {{Translation|"''[[Creation of All Things]]''"|万物創造|Banbutsu Sōzō}}. The process he used is explained to have initially involved the administration of imagination, and the spiritual energy which forms the basis of [[Yin]] chakra to create shape and form from nothingness. Then, through the application of vitality, and the physical energy which forms the basis of [[Yang]] chakra, he would breathe life into the prior form. Thus, a technique with the power to turn imagination into reality was born, known as Izanagi.<ref name="chpt510">''Naruto'' chapter 510, pages 10-13</ref> Izanagi can only be used by those with the genetic traits of the Sage of the Six Paths. The [[Uchiha]], descended from the Sage, are able to perform Izanagi with their [[Sharingan]]. In exchange for the brief control of reality that it allows them, the Sharingan with which Izanagi is cast becomes blind. For this reason the Uchiha labelled it a [[kinjutsu]]. [[Danzō Shimura]], in an effort to make practical use of the technique, had ten Sharingan embedded into his right arm. To make full use of Izanagi, users must also have the genetic traits of the [[Senju]], who are also descended from the Sage.<ref name="chpt510"/> Partially for this reason Danzō had some of [[Hashirama Senju]]'s [[Wood Release|DNA]] transplanted into his arm, which extended the lifespan of each Sharingan's Izanagi to a minute, allowing him to use the technique for up to ten minutes in total, with breaks in between as he deemed necessary. However, because Danzō is not an Uchiha, his chakra levels drop substantially every time a new Sharingan is used to activate the technique.<ref>''Naruto'' chapters 478-479</ref> [[Obito]] also makes use of Hashirama's DNA but, in contrast to Danzō, he claims to have gained control over Hashirama's DNA and as such, boasts the completed form of Izanagi.<ref name="chpt510"/> == Influence == Like the various techniques used with the Sharingan, this technique is named after a [[Wikipedia:Shinto|Shintō]] [[Wikipedia:Kami|god]]. In this case, it is [[Wikipedia:Izanagi|Izanagi]], who, together with his sister and wife [[Wikipedia:Izanami-no-Mikoto|Izanami]], created the islands and other deities of Japan. One of the most famous stories about Izanagi tells the tale of how he goes into [[Wikipedia:Yomi|Yomi]], the Japanese underworld, to retrieve Izanami after she died giving birth to the Shinto fire god [[Wikipedia:Kagu-tsuchi|Kagutsuchi]]. In Yomi, he manages to get Izanami and they both try to leave. However Izanagi was not supposed to look at her before they escape. Right before they reach the exit, Izanagi looks back and sees her in a decayed form. Frightened, Izanagi flees from Yomi and blocks the cave. Izanami curses Izanagi saying that she will kill 1000 people per day. In response, Izanagi says that 1500 people will be born each day. After his failed attempt to get Izanami, he washes himself in a stream. As he cleans his left eye, [[Wikipedia:Amaterasu|Amaterasu]] is born, as he cleans his right eye, [[Wikipedia:Tsukuyomi|Tsukuyomi]] is born, and as he cleans his nose, [[Wikipedia:Susanoo|Susanoo]] is born. == Trivia == * In ''[[Naruto Shippūden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations]]'', Danzō uses this as part of his ultimate technique, letting his Wood Release go out of control, creating a tree that crushes both himself and the opponent, and activating Izanagi at the last moment to escape unharmed. * In the past, Uchiha clan members used this technique during an important battle that they had to win at all costs. However, they soon started to abuse the abilities granted by this technique and as such Izanami was created as a way to punish the abusers of Izanagi.<ref>''Naruto'' chapter 587, pages 4-6</ref> == References == <references/> [[es:Izanagi]] [[ru:Изанаги]] Summary: Minor edit Follow this page Cancel
