Eight-Span Menacing Ball

The Eight-Span Menacing Ball (八咫威鞠, Yata no Imari) is one of the most powerful techniques that Katsumi Hanamura can access through her being the vessel of Yata-Garasu. It is an incredibly destructive ninjutsu in which an immense amount of chakra is gathered, condensced, and into a sphere. In terms of appearance, the Menacing Ball manifests as a sphere of dark hue, ranging from dark violet to black.

It is delivered through one of two means, the first of which being the launching of the sphere at intense speed from either the hands or mouth. When this method of release makes contact, the result is a massive explosion in the shape of a dome, which literally decimates everything caught within its radius. The second means through which the technique is delivered is through the continual concentration and condensation of the sphere until it reaches a "breaking point", then releasing the resulting explosion as an incredibly powerful, violet wave. Upon contact, the damage is very similar to its counterpart, but varies in that the overall result is a highly-localized blast of penetrative power which has the capacity to mow down anything in its path.
