Jirōbō Tayuya Sakon and Ukon Kidōmaru

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. 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. However, Sakon comments that after using their cursed seal's second level and coming out of it, they lose a lot of energy.

Forms

Jirōbō

  Jirōbō's cursed seal; first level.
• Jirōbō Cursed Seal Lv 2.jpg
  Jirōbō's cursed seal; second level.

1/2

Jirōbō's cursed seal is the only one not seen before it is activated. However, the pattern that spreads during its first state are like chains of triangular arrows. When the second level of his seal is active, his skin turns maroon, his hair grows longer, and he also grows warts on his forehead and shoulders. He most greatly resembles an ogre in this form. He claims his strength increases ten times, to the point where he can single-handedly lift a gigantic Chōji Akimichi.

Kidōmaru

Kidōmaru's cursed seal.

• Kidomaru Curse Mark 1.jpg
  Kidomaru's cursed seal; first level.
• Kidomaru's cursed seal; second level.

1/2

Kidōmaru's cursed seal, seen only in the anime, is formed like a hook (placed with the sharp end down) with two tags at the end of the upper part. 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. By opening the third eye on his forehead, his accuracy increases to the point of pinpointing Neji's Byakugan blind spot from a distance of over 50 metres.

Sakon and Ukon

Sakon and Ukon's cursed seal.

• Sakon and Ukons' cursed seal; first level.
• Sakon and Ukons' cursed seal; second level.

1/2

Sakon and Ukon both have the same type of cursed seal, which consists of three circular dots placed like a triangular shape on their foreheads. When the second level of their seals are active, they resemble goblins with red skin, longer hair, a single horn (on opposite sides for each brother), and can grow black armour from their bodies (from the side where they separate). They can also extend their fusing abilities to someone other than each other, and tear their opponents apart on a cellular level.

Tayuya

Tayuya's cursed seal.

• Tayuya's cursed seal; first level.
• Tayuya's cursed seal; second level.

1/2

Tayuya's cursed seal consists of three hooks, similar to a triskelion on the back of her neck. When the second level of her seal is active, her hair grows longer, she grows five oddly-placed horns on her head, slightly resembling a crown, and her skin turns dark brown. The horns grow when she exerts herself. Her strength increases, to the point of breaking free of the Shadow Imitation Technique.
