Wind Release: Soaring Eagle

Wind Release: Soaring Eagle (風遁・飛鷲, Fūton: Hijū) is a highly versatile ninjutsu developed at the hands of Kaidan Nomura. It is a derivative of his signature technique, the Wind Release: Divine Sparrow.

Overview
Akin to the ninjutsu from which it is derived, the Wind Release: Soaring Eagle produces a blade, composed of azure-hued chakra, with exceptional cutting power about the user's hand. This is accomplished through through flowing, concentration, and cultivation of wind-themed chakra in the form of a shell about the hand. Furthermore, additional streams of chakra are added, which circumvent the blade at a high velocity in order to form a powerful "drill".

From this point, the technique begins by incorporating additional chakra and shape transformation in order to augment the length of the blade and its "drill". Due to the technique's nature transformation being that of wind, the user is able to lengthen the blade at phenomenal speeds. However, with the exception of the initial three meters of expanded length, the blade's thickness begins to dwindle. As such, this technique's effective range is that of five meters, though it could be easily expanded past that with diminished cutting power.

Wounds received by this technique are easily as fatal as if they were received by its parent technique. While operating within its effective range, the ninjutsu retains the raw cutting power as its predecessor and can rend through flesh, bone, wood, and stone with relative ease. Furthermore, the "drill" aspect of the Soaring Eagle makes wounds received from being impaled even more grievous.
