Background / History
Yomotsu Hirasaka is described as the passage connecting the human world and the Underworld. Its name is associated with Michikaeshi no Kami, the legendary boulder said to suppress that passage. 194
It is one of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's signature Dōjutsu and is also wielded by Urashiki Ōtsutsuki through his Rinnegan. After claiming Urashiki's eyes, Gen'ichi gains access to the technique; Kabuto later uses the same eyes as well. 353 383 397 522
Capabilities
Space-Time Portals
Yomotsu Hirasaka creates spatial rifts that allow its user to move themselves, allies, body parts, or incoming attacks between distant locations.
- A user can enter one portal and emerge through another almost simultaneously. 395
- Portals can be opened at a target's location, allowing attacks from unexpected angles without the user physically crossing the intervening distance. 429 532
- Kaguya can use a portal to extend an arm toward distant enemies and launch All-Killing Ash Bones through it. 532
- Gen'ichi can open multiple portals around a single opponent and attack from several directions at once. 429
- Kabuto uses the technique to evacuate Hiruko and Kakashi from Isshiki's attack. 529
Technique Redirection
The technique can absorb an incoming attack through one portal and release it from another.
- Gen'ichi absorbs Momoshiki's Black Rods with Yomotsu Hirasaka, then redirects them into Saruiwa's arms with their force intact. 429
- The technique is stated to be capable of swallowing enemy techniques and immediately returning them through another tunnel. 406
Activation Speed
Yomotsu Hirasaka is exceptionally fast compared with ordinary space-time techniques.
- Its activation and deactivation are described as nearly instantaneous. 532
- It can open two portals simultaneously, maximizing mobility and surprise attacks. 532
- Urashiki's Red Tomoe Rinnegan further accelerates its activation, enabling him to attempt escape even after suffering catastrophic damage. 397
- The technique is considered second only to Amenominaka among Space Dōjutsu. 532
