Eight-Tailed Flame Blade

An advanced form of the Fire Release: Flame Blade, created by mixing the Chakra of the Eight-Tailed Beast with the user's Chakra in order to form the technique. The Eight-Tailed Flame Blade requires immense Chakra control due to the mixing between the Eight-Tailed Beast and the user's Chakra.

While similar to the Fire Release: Flame Blade, the Eight-Tailed Flame Blade has distinct differences. The fire-like orb of the original is changed, becoming an intense, deep-red orb in the vain of the dark Chakra present with the Jinchūriki Forms. In addition eight tails of Chakra extend from the orb, wrapping around the user's arm. While appearing to simply be cosmetic, the tails in fact serve the role of expanding the concentration of the technique without forcing the orb to grow in size, and, density. The all-around danger of the technique is also decreased with this variant. Depending on the relationship between the user and the Eight-Tailed Beast, the orb can be made self sufficient as the Eight-Tails sustains it with its Chakra. However if the relationship is a rocky one, the Eight-Tails can force the technique to become volatile, endangering the user.

Once the technique makes contact with a target, it explodes in a forward burst with a 180 degree radius, effectively keeping the explosion away from the user while concentrating it on enveloping the target in one high-power blast.
