Black Feather Barrage

Black Feather Barrage (黒羽の弾幕, Kurohane no Danmaku) is an advanced application of the majutsu technique Fallen Angel in which shape transformation is utilized in order to grant the technique offensive characteristics. In order to utilize this ability to its fullest Yokōkaze has demonstrated that one must have Fallen Angel already activated and use the full incantation, Kauvā paṅkha kūṛē raṇabhūmi (कौवा पंख कूड़े रणभूमि, "Crow feathers litter the battlefield"). Upon activating this technique the feather of Fallen angel will condense and become more blade like before they are launched toward an intended target. The feathers themselves possess pre-eminent sharpness and can shear through human flesh and scar stone. Furthermore, the feathers are launched with considerable speed, much quicker than most people could throw a projectile such as a kunai or shuriken. Yokō has also shown that the sharpness of these feathers can be increased if they have wind chakra channeled through them. In such scenarios the barrage of feathers can easily pierce stone, thus giving the technique inherent lethality. While this technique allows the user to assault a wide area extremely effectively, it cannot be maintained for long periods of time without the sharpness of the feathers decreasing significantly. Therefore this technique is often employed in short volleys, in hope that its potential is maximized.
