Ninpō: Hibōshi (忍法
Overview[]
By raising their body temperature to ignite the oil in their skin, the shinobi can set themselves on fire to burn and engulf their target in a blazing inferno. This technique is capable of incinerating a large group of people and large targets such as the Sōshin, making it a preferred method to quickly finish off opponents. Gabimaru has also shown being able to stamp his opponents with Hibōshi by landing an attack.
This technique can also be expelled through the mouth as a stream of intense flames that will incinerate anything in its path, similar to Ninpō: Hi no Hashi.
Drawbacks[]
The drawback to this ninjutsu is that if the shinobi's body has undergone too much damage then they will suffer the risk of burning themselves as well in the process. Though this is the case, if his opponent causes him to be on the verge of death, Gabimaru would ignore this set back and try to kill them at the cost of his own life.
Trivia[]
- This ninjutsu is known to be Gabimaru's signature amongst the shinobi of Iwagakure.
- When used by Shija, the flames they emitted were colored black. Whether this is due to a change in property to the flames on Shija's part or if the flames differ with each user of this ninjutsu is unclear.
