  • Name: Byakko (西方白虎, White Tiger)
  • Type: S-rank, Offensive, Long Range (10m+)
  • User: Ryun Uchiha

Byakko is an extremely powerful, one-shot fire technique that strikes in the blink of an eye. The user draws heat directly from the sun to supplement the power of his or her strike, and controls it with chakra. Because the technique uses natural heat and fire as opposed to elemental chakra, its power easily outmatches all other Fire Releases. However, the extreme preparation time required also decreases the technique's efficiency. This technique in the absence of the sun requires Fire Release: Great Dragon Blitz or other such techniques to produce the necessary heat conditions to initiate it.

To initiate a sun heat producing ball of fore, and then to take control of the heat in order to guide it to a target while using the shape manipulation shown above, drained even Ryun of most of his chakra. In addition, usage seems to destroy the preparatory jutsu as the sky cleared up after use. As such, this technique can only be used once in a fight. However, natural sun fire can reach a temperature of 200,000 K, so that even if it misses the target, the sizable blast will likely eliminate the enemy.

Inspiration[]
