Well, of course we don't call 火遁・豪火球の術­(Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu) "Fire Release: Great Burning Mass of Flames", since that's not its literal translation.

In any case, I'll try to explain my translation method. By "staying true to Naruto-universe", I mean it would follow one of naming structures that is found within original Japanese Naruto manga. If you look carefully at Japanese names of various techniques and characters in Naruto(like I have), you will start to see patterns of how naming works in different cases. When I'm translating requests, I basically look these patterns and create names based on them. That way, they wouldn't look out of place within Naruto, and with your requests, I came up with those names.

Could I have come up with more literal translations? Maybe with "Yin Blotting", but I don't think it would have been as good as what I came up with, and honestly, I want to offer my best. And yeah, maybe it's "unnecessary work", but to keep true to Naruto, I think it's worth it.
