The chains are not physical objects; they are chakra molded into a very specific shape, and they have enormous strength against tailed beasts. Kushina explains that her special chakra was one of the reasons she was chosen as the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-500","pos":500},{"h":"The night of the attack","t":"In the memories of the night Naruto was born, Kushina uses her chains to hold the Nine-Tails when the masked man frees it, and raises a barrier to contain the fight. The chains are what allow Minato to complete the sealing: while she pins the beast down, he prepares the technique. It is the most important use of the chains in the story, and it shows they can hold a whole tailed beast, though at an enormous cost to the user.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-503","pos":503},{"h":"Karin","t":"During the war, Karin, also an Uzumaki, shows she can create chakra chains for attack and restraint, and helps stop the enemy in the final fight. It is easy to miss: until then Karin had appeared mostly as a sensor and healer. Her chains are not identical to Kushina's and are not on the same scale, but they come from the same source: the Uzumaki's vitality and special chakra.","lvl":1,"ch":"naruto-663","pos":663},{"h":"What is not known","t":"Beyond Kushina and Karin, the story shows no other users of chakra chains. There is no basis for giving this technique to Naruto, Boruto or Himawari, even though they all have Uzumaki blood. It is worth being careful with the idea that lineage guarantees the technique: the manga only ties it to those who use it on the page. Any broader version is speculation or video game material, not part of the main story.","lvl":2}],"characters":["kushina","karin"],"related":["uzumaki","fuinjutsu","chakra","uzushiogakure"],"reference":"Naruto, chapters 499–504 (Kushina) and 663 (Karin).","sources":[{"title":"Kushina: Uzushiogakure, Mito y la familia de Naruto","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1833"},{"title":"Karin: habilidades sensoriales y formación de Hebi","url":"https://naruto-official.com/en/news/01_1316"}],"figures":["
