Fire Release: Imperial Flame Regalia

This move is a defensive technique with offensive implications developed by Yorinaga during his trip to the west. It simply is the great fireball Technique taken to extreme levels. First the user performs the hand seals while kneading fire type chakra within their stomach. Then they will shoot the fireball straight down, engulfing themselves in the vast explosion. Using shape control they will contract and compress the fireball into the shape of armor. Which upon reaching the size of a person, the fire will be roughly a blueish color, which will lighten until the point where it disappears entirely. This is due to the fact that it is so hot that it isn't radiating light in a visible spectrum. There is one major downside to this technique. At such high levels of strength it is inherently unstable. No amount of chakra control, no matter how perfect it is, or any sort of affinity to flame, can limit this downside. Yorinaga uses several seals placed all upon his body to regulate the flames to stop them from consuming him. They impart to him immunity to the techniques fire while all of them are active. Destroying even one could result in his own funeral pyre.

The sheer intensity of these flames at their full strength will reduce any solid object that comes into contact with the fire into ash or vapor. This is regardless of speed or durability. There is a weakness to this though. Heat transfers. In order to melt or burn something, some of the heat from the technique is lost. If one throws enough of anything at this armor, it will start to fade back into the visible spectrums, leaving Yorinaga more vulnerable to physical objects again. As it only affects physical objects, lightning release and other energy based fighting styles are unaffected. Fire on the other hand generally only feeds these flames. It is even capable of holding back Amaterasu for a while, though it is incapable of consuming it.
