• Name: Secret Healing Wound Destruction (陰癒傷滅, In'yu Shōmetsu, English TV: Pre-Healing Jutsu)
• Type: A-rank, Supplementary
• User: Kabuto Yakushi
• Debut (Anime): Episode 95
• Debut (Manga): Chapter 168

Secret Healing Wound Destruction allows the user to concentrate their chakra to a prepared area on their body and begin the cell recreation process the very moment the targeted area becomes damaged.

Kabuto claims that this technique is the reason that Orochimaru values him so highly. It should be noted that though this technique is extremely effective at decreasing the time that Kabuto requires to recover. However, even this jutsu is not perfect. Firstly, it is limited to Kabuto's chakra capacity and secondly, attacks that deliver an extreme amount of damage (i.e. Rasengan) produce damage that exceed this techniques ability to negate it. Though Kabuto was healed enough to be able to evacuate himself and Orochimaru from the battle with Tsunade and Jiraiya after being hit with Rasengan while using this technique, he was still unable to further contribute in a combat role.

Trivia

• It is assumed that this jutsu can only heal external damage, since Kabuto was able to heal the external damage from the Rasengan, but was unable to heal the internal damage and Kabuto was unable to fight.

• Many used to speculated that this jutsu was a Kekkei genkai move or a Hiden Jutsu that was from a clan that Kabuto came from.
