Powers & Abilities

Mabui’s Jutsu

• Ethereal Transmission Jutsu (????, tens? no jutsu): The Ethereal Transmission Jutsu is a technique that is unique to Mabui. With this jutsu, she can teleport an object to any location at the speed of light. To transport, Mabui must have the exact geographic coordinates. While this is normally used to transport objects, it can also be used on living organism, such as people. The problem is that humans can’t normally survive traveling at the speed of light. The third Raikage was able to be transported unharmed, due to his incredible durability. Ei Yotsuki and Tsunade were transported, but repaired their wounds upon arrival. The ability of this jutsu is one of the primary reasons she was selected as the aide to the Raikage.
