Backstory: In a dire moment of desperation during an ancient conflict, the Yamaguchi clan's founder forged a pact that birthed the Unburial Rite. This forbidden ritual summoned ancestral spirits to inhabit lifeless bodies, transforming them into formidable warriors. This dark art symbolized the Yamaguchi's resilience, allowing them to call forth these undead warriors across generations. The Unburial Rite's origins, veiled in mystery, turned the tide for the clan, showcasing their unwavering commitment to survival and defense.

Appearance: The user invokes the undead bound by the Pact Eternal, summoning them through a shadowy portal. The appearance of the undead is customizable, allowing the user to choose a humanoid form of average height, clearly indicating their undead nature. This could range from undead warriors adorned in Viking armor to decomposing zombies, with the variations being purely cosmetic.

What it does: Yamaguchi's distinctive technique creates up to three 2-meter diameter portals within 10 meters of the user, avoiding a 3-meter around other characters. These portals summon ten undead entities at jutsu speed. Passing through these portals doesn't cause harm; individuals experience an eerie sensation of weightlessness and temporal distortion.

The user maintains control within range, but straying beyond results in the undead collapsing into lifeless bodies. Infused with ancestral souls, these beings possess strength and speed equivalent to the jutsu's power and speed, respectively, with dimensions akin to regular humans. Their limbs, sharp teeth, and nails carry the same jutsu powers, serving as their sole means of physical damage. Following the standard multi-hit technique rules, the undead can inflict only one instance of HP damage per post.

The zombies' HP matches the jutsu's power, and if reduced to zero, they disintegrate into ash. Although impervious to genjutsu, these reanimated corpses, despite lacking true life, can have their HP externally restored. The zombies lack any damage reduction, and damage reduction techniques do not apply to them. Additionally, owing to their decomposing flesh, the threshold to decapitate or inflict damage through impact force is reduced to 50 from 100. Reassembly at jutsu speed is possible when damaged, even if reduced to torsos or heads, with corresponding movement limitations. The technique prohibits using corpses associated with PCs or NPCs.

With the S-rank version, the quantity of undead is boosted to 15, and the range within which they can be manipulated expands to a radius of 35 meters from the user.
