By infusing his chakra into the ink beforehand, Sai can draw objects with a brush on his scroll (something he can do very quickly); the moment the brush is removed, the drawings become animated and leap off the page. These creations grow to life-size once they have been brought to life. There are few techniques in existence that have so many different uses such as this. During the many special missions given out by Root, there are many situations where one must take spontaneous or independent action. This technique, which allows one to adapt to the circumstances of any confrontation, is a lifeline. For discreet communiques when he is undercover, Sai is able to turn the words he writes into small animals, allowing them to travel to their intended target unnoticed.
Since they are made of ink, a single blow is usually enough to dispel them. The one exception to this are snakes, which are used as living ropes to apprehend a target; they have been shown to be abnormally difficult to tear.
