Killing Intent

From Narutopedia

Killing Intent
Name
Kanji	殺気
Rōmaji	Sakki
English TV	Murderous Intent
Data
Classification	General skill

Killing Intent is simply the user giving off their pure killing intention, and having it affect their opponent and others around them^[1], up to the point of paralyzing them. When the Killing Intent is particularly strong, it can even give the victim visions of their own gruesome death. This can cause the Killing Intent to be confused with a genjutsu, despite not being a jutsu at all.

Tsunade of the Sannin once used a technique looking rather like a ball of pure chakra that, according to Kabuto Yakushi, was filled with Killing Intent, and as such, would kill whoever it made contact with.

[edit] Trivia

• The Naruto Fandom has labeled the technique "Death Foreseeing Technique" (死の観覧の術, Shikumi no Jutsu). It should be noted that the kanji and rōmaji do not match up and neither mean "Death Foreseeing Technique". The kanji used (死の観覧の術) would be pronounced as "shi no kanran no jutsu" and mean "death viewing technique". The rōmaji used (Shikumi no Jutsu) would mean something like "death assembling technique" (死組みの術).
