Sapphire Blaze

Sapphire Blaze (青玉熾, Seitamashi) was Reika Konoe's trademark original technique, which she developed several years prior becoming the leader to her namesake squad. It was later be adopted by Kyōshi Takamori, one of Reika's students, who has employed it ever since. Reika's use of this was so widespread prior to her death that several individuals have temporarily mistaken Kyōshi for his sensei upon performing it.

This technique concentrates the user's across the blade of a sword, to the point that it becomes visible to the unaided eye. The intense energy along the blade takes on a radiant sapphire glow, like otherworldly blue flames, hence the name. After successfully preparing the technique the cutting potential of the user's blade is dramatically enhanced, cleanly slicing through nearly all forms of defense as seen with many forms of chakra flow. Additionally, the intense aura of chakra can be released as a wave of destructive energy in the arc of the user's swing, not unlike the employed by the  of the. The practitioner can regulate the concentration of the projected version in order to correspond to the situation at hand. These variants can range from thin arcs of chakra possessing unparallelled cutting potential, to wider waves of energy that are more suited for sweeping multiple enemies off their feet.
