Blaze Technique: Phoenix Rising

Rather than using the phoenix to attack or immobilize the intended target, the user instead uses the phoenix as a shield to protect themselves from incoming attacks. The phoenix surrounds the user’s body and uses its large wings as a shield to cover the user, thus protecting them from incoming attacks. While the user is protected by the blue flames, any attacks directed towards the user will instantly phase through the phoenix’s body, and it will instantly regenerate using its own blue flames. Due to the effectiveness of the technique, it is regarded as one of the best defensive techniques used by an Enjutsushi, though the user cannot maintain the phoenix for long periods of time and while using this technique the user is unable to move from their current position.
