Technique Description

---

Concentrating chakra into her hands, Fuyumi envelops them in coldfire flames; usually this is accompanied by her assuming a fighting stance similar in appearance to the Gentle Fist, but can also find tiger-style influences. The chakra flames shrouding her hands grant her taijutsu attacks coldfire properties. As such, making contact with an opponent's body with these flames absorbs both the heat from their body, slowly freezing them, and drains their chakra as well, replenishing Fuyumi's own reserves in the process. The flames increase the range and destructive power of her attacks, an attacks that would ordinarily graze an opponent can now absorb heat and chakra.

Fuyumi uses this fighting style with open-palm taijutsu, similar to the gentle fist, although there are occasional punches and frequent kicks. She also jabs, thrusts, and chops with her hands, devoting all fingers to these attacks in a similar fashion to snake style taijutsu. Her general movement is quick and agile, consisting of wide, open, sweeping strikes, with extended arms and fluid motion. She also incorporates tiger style claw attacks, in order to grab hold of her opponent and drain their chakra and heat; despite it's tiger-like appearance, she refers to this technique as fox fist.

Being struck repeatedly by Fuyumi's frostfire-enveloped palm strikes with gradually freeze and drain her opponent of their chakra; direct hits may leave painful iceburns on opponents' bodies and patches or ice or frost may begin to grow on their skin in the area where they were struck. Overtime, her opponent's body temperature will lower to such a degree that they will begin to experience hypothermia, which will cause body function failure. This leaves them even more vulnerable to attack, worsening their situation. If their hypothermia reaches a certain point, they will die. If repeatedly struck in the same area, that area of the body will freeze and crumble away into snow dust.

No handseals are required.
