Kuji-Kiri (“nine ways cutting”) is a form of mystical meditation involving finger interlacing. The ninja is taught nine different ways to interlace his fingers, each with its own symbolic significance. By meditating on this gesture, the ninja can grant himself certain powers of a temporary (about 5 game hours) nature.
