Illuminating Star

is an -based technique, developed by Tokino, which allows the user to generate a thin lens of ice. This lens, similar in appearance to that of a simple contact, can grant the beneficiary impressive levels of telescopic vision through optical magnification. The level of magnification can be altered through simple chakra control, even if the user wasn't the creator of the lens. Also, while the lens lasts naturally for around an hour, it can be dispelled prematurely by the wearer should it become unnecessary.

Through the use of this technique it becomes possible to observe targets clearly at a range up to around ten kilometers. This in turn permits wearers to attempt incredibly long range attacks a notable degree of potential accuracy. Furthermore, users of specific, which invoke an effect on wherever the practitioner's vision is focused, are able to able to use the lens to dramatically increase the range of their techniques. This has been displayed most prominently with Kazuhide, who has employed the Illuminating Star with and, allowing him to assassinate targets from a distance of relative safety.
