Q:

How is Karin's technique similar to Kushina's?

In Naruto chapter 663, Orochimaru mentioned that 

 the technique used by Karin to defeat the wooden statue is similar to that of from Kushina (both Uzumaki).

What is this technique and how does this work? Can Naruto (as Uzumaki) use this technique?

A:

Karin and Kushina both belonged to Uzumaki Clan.It's a type of Hiden Ninjustu.
Although the name of the jutsu is not mentioned clearly but when I explored more I came to know that:-

Kushina also possessed a powerful and special form of chakra, which made her well-suited for becoming the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki. With her chakra, Kushina was able to materialise chakra chains with which she was able to restrain and subdue the Nine-Tails, both in the real world as well as in her subconscious
