Later, in Part II of the anime, it was revealed that [[Orochimaru]] enhanced the power of their cursed seals, giving them the ability to use the [[Space–Time Technique Formula: Underworld Turnover]], a technique capable of trapping the souls of the user and the victim within an untraceable barrier, to fight with little to no interference. The technique however, would result in the user's death. In the cases of the Sound Four, who were [[Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation|reincarnated]], they were able to survive the usage of this technique, though their souls returned to the [[Pure Land]] when the barrier was broken.

When the second level of his seal is active, his skin turns deep red, his hair grows longer and turns a light greyish colour, and he grows horns on his forehead and his elbows. He becomes more spider-like, almost oni-like in appearance in this form.

Revision as of 00:31, 4 December 2014

Each member of the Sound Four uses a cursed seal. Their seals, however, are not as powerful as the Heaven and Earth seals, although they have similar end results.

Usage

Like all cursed seals, each of them forcefully draws the user's chakra while feeding back senjutsu chakra in return, giving each individual a unique transformation and attribute boost, and receives increased chakra levels, physical capabilities and their ninjutsu skills become more effective when the seal is active. However, Sakon comments that after using their cursed seal's second level and coming out of it, they lose a lot of energy.

Later, in Part II of the anime, it was revealed that Orochimaru enhanced the power of their cursed seals, giving them the ability to use the Space–Time Technique Formula: Underworld Turnover, a technique capable of trapping the souls of the user and the victim within an untraceable barrier, to fight with little to no interference. The technique however, would result in the user's death. In the cases of the Sound Four, who were reincarnated, they were able to survive the usage of this technique, though their souls returned to the Pure Land when the barrier was broken.
