Hōsenka (鳳仙化) is the Japanese name for the Impatiens balsamina. Tsumabeni (爪紅) is an alternative name for this plant, stemming from its use in producing red dyes for nail polish.
In chapter 56, Sasuke uses a rudimentary form of this technique employing the Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique and hiding shuriken within the flames for an added surprise attack. However that tactic and this technique should not be confused with each other, as this one employs Chakra Flow, breathing the flames directly onto the shuriken.
