NinjibotWhat it does
Using this technique causes a target or targets to be physically immobilised, as though they've been tied down with invisible steel ropes. Because it's a relatively simple technique, even genin should be able to perform it. However, the strength of the binding varies significantly from one skill level to the next, so a mere genin could not hope to restrain the same targets that an Anbu could, for instance. The Temporary Paralysis Technique is a useful way to stop an opponent from attacking or, alternatively, make an opponent easier to attack.

The term Kanashibari (金縛り) is the Japanese word for sleep paralysis. It literally means "bound by metal," referring to the terrifying sensation of being conscious yet unable to move, often attributed in Japanese folklore to spirits or yōkai pinning a person down.
