Aura Shell: Demonic Power

This technique, developed by Kazuhide, effectively weaponizes the material reinforcement capabilities of Aura Shell, allowing the technique to be applied in an offensive manner. Like the parent skill Aura Shell: Demonic Power channels chakra into the molecular crevices of the target item. Rather than strengthening it though, Kazuhide then violently bursts the chakra from within the item. In the case materials of standard quality it is possible to shatter the item in a single strike. Items of vastly superior quality may be able to absorb several blows from this technique before demonstrating noticeable damage. While seemingly unstoppable, this technique requires the user to be familiar with the material they trying to destroy, otherwise it will render the skill incredibly ineffective. Attempts to shatter weapons under the shroud of are also ineffective on the weapon itself.

With his 's ability to perceive chakra with much more clarity than is possible through natural means, Kazuhide is also able to apply this technique against chakra itself. In this manner he was able to destroy a bearing down on him with what would appear to onlookers as a simple sword strike. Applying this technique against chakra-based structures works in the same manner as attempting the maneuver against physical objects. It should be noted that while this technique can be employed against most chakra-based constructs, most barriers are especially resistant to being shattered in this manner. Despite this, Kazuhide has managed to damage even incredibly powerful barriers by combining this skill with an arrow, delivering the destructive burst of chakra at a single point. Though, such a performance required significant preparation on Kazuhide's part.

Trivia

 * This technique's name is derived from the reaction from Kazuhide's opponents, who conceded that his ability to shatter their weapons was born from some type of demonic power.
