Backstory: The Unburial Screecher, a sacred Yamaguchi technique, arose from the clan's profound need to commune with the departed during times of war and loss. Passed down through generations, this jutsu allows practitioners to summon the spirits of the deceased back to the realm of the living. The visage of a starved woman emerging from a dark portal or rising from a targeted dead body symbolizes the thin veil between life and death. Mastering the Unburial Screecher has strengthened the clan's connection to its ancestors, offering guidance and strategic advantage in times of need.

Appearance: The manifestation takes the form of a dreadful, emaciated woman with long hair emerging from a dark portal or abruptly rising if the user targeted a deceased body. Standing at an average height, the woman's appearance can feature any natural hair color the user chooses. However, she consistently exhibits pale grey skin and sunken, lifeless eyes.

What it does: The user performs hand seals, creating a portal within a 10m range, with a minimum distance of 3m from other characters. The undead creature emerges from the portal at jutsu speed. Alternatively, the user can apply this technique to a deceased body within 20m, again with a 3m minimum distance from other characters. The created undead entity falls under the control of the Yamaguchi, capable of executing tasks within a 30m radius of the user, excluding actions that cause harm to others physically.

The undead creature possesses strength and speed equal to the jutsu's power. Once per casting, the user can activate the Seal of Confrontation, instructing the undead creature to emit a piercing scream. This scream creates a 10m/20m radius of screeching sound expanding at jutsu speed. Targets within the radius, excluding the user, may be paralyzed for the duration of the scream if their strength is lower than the jutsu's power. The scream persists for two posts, except when the technique has only one post left, reducing the scream's duration to 1 post. The scream interacts only with other sound-based methods and can be countered by barriers or defenses with equal or higher power than the scream. The undead collapses into a lifeless body at the end of the technique's duration, the scream's conclusion, or if it moves beyond 30m from the user, whichever occurs first.

This technique is restricted from using corpses designated for PC use or A Rank+ NPC corpses.
