Dark Release: Hermit Purple

The user pours dark chakra from their hands, giving it the form of purple vines with thorns. These vines can reach a maximum distance, dependent on how many hand seals were used for it. These thorns have an uncanny ability to wrap around and restrain targets, further enhanced as the thorns can dig into and further hinder the target.

Strengths

 * Every hand seal used equals a yard of distance that the vines can travel.
 * Perfect for captivating and entangling running enemies.
 * As long as the thorns can pierce the body, the user can siphon chakra from the target which is equivalent to two points per turn.

Weaknesses

 * If the thorns can't pierce the body then the chakra can't be siphoned.
 * Technique can easily misfire, if not enough hand seals are used then the target can easily move out of range, and if it's too much there's a potential of it overcompensating.
