Fire Release: Thousand Cherry Blossoms

A fake out or prank -nature technique that is derived from the Uchiha's coming of age, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. With the same exact hand signs as its parent technique but requiring less force yet greater skill behind it, works as an excellent diversion. After kneading chakra in his body and turning it into flames, Shintai is able to expel a giant orb of flame that after a few seconds of being released bursts into one thousand smaller, flickering fire-balls that are much brighter than the original orb but obviously lack any serious fire-power behind them; although, as it is still fire, it can still be dangerous to come in contact with these smaller fireballs. The moment that the giant orb of flame bursts, it releases a great amount of heat and light, that can cause an opponent to either be disoriented or simply lose their focus and can often trick those who are expecting a genuine fire-ball technique. It is often used as an opening for landing more powerful techniques.

Trivia

 * It is compared to a thousand cherry blossoms as these tiny balls of flame do not descend down upon the ground due to force of gravity immediately but fall slowly and with a certain elegance that is reminiscent of cherry blossom.
