Itami is unique in his ninjutsu arts, especially within his own Uchiha clan. He does not possess an affinity for the fire element, or any element, for that matter. His techniques hinge around his own gift, his ability to convert his chakra into psionic energy. This grants him telekinetic powers, powers that he has harnessed and trained to their full potential. His psychic abilities have been weaponized in the process of his training to control them.
