Ash Release: Firefly

Ash Release: Firefly (灰遁ホタル, Haiton: Hotaru) is a unique Jutsu utilized by those capable of performing the Ash Release. While seemingly useless while outside the targets bodies, its true use is seen when the ash is inhaled, eventually entering their bloodstream and traveling to the heart. Once the ash reaches the heart the Jutsu cripples a foe from within through the use of Ash Release: Detonation; making it a two-part technique. However, while powerful, the inhaled ash needs to be rather sizable in quantity to prove fatal with a single detonation; otherwise the damage may not be as advanced as one would think. It can also be avoided simply by covering your mouth and nose, though some degree of foreknowledge is required to avoid it completely.
