Addition
Just need a bit of confirmation, that stone was not there in the past was it? I mean the last time we saw the shrine, it was concealed by a floor mat/plate/tile thing.--Cerez365™

- I don'think the stone thing was shown but given how quickly Sasuke got there, that may have been how he got there on the first time. Darksusanoo (talk) 13:16, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
Itachi as a user
Ok...looks like even basic stuff needs to get past the radar. Since it was Itachi the one who even told Sasuke of the existence of the shrine, the tablet, etc, ettc, it stands to reason that he, as an Uchiha with such knowledge, has more than likely been to the shrine and as such knows the technique to open it.

- This ties into the discussion up there. I don't think anyone else should be listed as a user because this seems like something Kishimoto just added. It could be that Sasuke sealed it before leaving or something like that but in the past it was just a mat that covered it.--Cerez365™

- then obito would be an user too, since he also was there once when I remember right....Orochimaru and Kabuto were also there at least once, so they would be users too, despite not having the Sharingan. Bit confusing, isn't it?94.135.138.160 (talk) 14:26, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
I'm pretty certain Sasuke was the one who sealed the shrine with that stone--Elveonora (talk) 14:47, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
- Probably but the timeline of events seems warped, mayhaps for me alone but something seems off.--Cerez365™

It was obviously not there early on, also from where would Sasuke know the handseals if it weren't his technique? Remember, he had been to Konoha post time-skip and prior to current events already, not directly, but didn't his fight against Itachi take place close to Uchiha Clan's place?--Elveonora (talk) 16:07, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
- The shrine is in Konoha itself the Uchiha hideout was in a mountain somewhere. This is also the first time Sasuke's been back to Konoha, hence the whole survey the village bit.--Cerez365™(talk) 16:13, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
Sealing technique
Shouldn't this technique be classified as a fuinjutsu, since the shrine was sealed off and it one can only enter with the specific technique to un-seal it. Darksusanoo (talk) 14:14, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
- I suppose. --X29 14:34, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
I thought this would be a barrier technique.71.71.58.231 (talk) 15:40, January 31, 2013 (UTC) Yomiko-chan
That's not what a fuinjutsu is, such techniques seal things into other things, or unseal things from other things. Also some immobilizing techniques are also labeled as such, this is either a barrier or simply a ninjutsu moving the rock 0_o--Elveonora (talk) 15:58, January 31, 2013 (UTC)
- Bit of an old topic but yes this is what Funinjutsu does with Five-Seal Barrier and Cloth Binding Technique being examples. The sealing formula in this case sealing the inner shrine from intrusion. I'd like to suggest Funinjutsu be added to the classification. Arrancar79 (talk) 05:38, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
Well, I think this one is hard to classify and requires further discussion--Elveonora (talk) 20:37, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
- As I see it, Ninjutsu, Fuinjutsu, and Barrier Ninjutsu are the applicable classifications. Arrancar79 (talk) 22:25, March 8, 2013 (UTC)
Classification as Kekkei Genkai and Dojutsu
If you look at the pages 5, 6, 7, 8 (7, 8, 9, 10 in mangareader) you will see that Sasuke only activates the Sharingan (Kekkei Genkai and Dojutsu) for the technique and deactivates it right after, so he uses it to the technique and if he don't use to break the seal and only to read the inscriptions I say that we need classify the technique as I mentioned above.

Possible, but still enough evidence... how do you move a rock with your eyes? 0_o--Elveonora (talk) 20:41, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
- There is a Sharingan on the rock, it could be a optical eye-contact key like in our modern safes. MaskedManMadara (talk) 21:22, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
- Possible, but not conclusively proven. Could just as easily be a hiden-like technique. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:31, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
