The Matatabiho is Gyoken's signature jutsu, solidifying his reputation as a formidable force on the battlefield.
Overview[]
The Matatabiho, or "Matatabi Blaze," is a fearsome jutsu in Gyoken's arsenal. When he initiates this technique, he expertly molds his chakra into large Matatabi-like heads, harnessing the formidable power of the Two-Tails. These chakra-formed heads significantly extend the range and destructive potential of Gyoken's attacks. Upon contact with the target, they engulf it in intense, searing blue flames. These flames burn with such ferocity that they can reduce almost anything to ashes. However, the true horror of the Matatabiho lies in its aftermath. After the initial impact, the Matatabi heads detonate with tremendous force. This explosion, fueled by the residual chakra and fire, can transform the surrounding terrain into a nightmarish inferno. It leaves behind a scorched and devastated battlefield, rendering the area nearly uninhabitable. Even if Gyoken were to miss his intended target, the Matatabiho's sheer destructive potential makes it a perilous technique to reckon with. It can turn any battleground into a hellish landscape, proving Gyoken's mastery over fire and his connection to the Two-Tails.
Ninjutsu Variation[]
The Matatabiho possesses a remarkable long-range application. Gyoken can unleash this jutsu like a projectile, propelling the feline-shaped head towards its intended target by homing in on their heat signatures. Upon impact with the target, the Matatabiho's fiery essence exerts a devastating effect. It has the power to reduce the victim to ash almost instantly, followed by a violent explosion, ensuring a swift and abrupt demise for the unfortunate target. This long-distance capability of the Matatabiho underscores its versatility and lethality on the battlefield.
Taijutsu Variation[]
When Gyoken employs the Matatabiho, his taijutsu prowess reaches extraordinary heights, as his hands become engulfed in the scorching flames reminiscent of Matatabi's essence. This fiery enhancement allows him to demolish structures, liquefy concrete, and reduce objects to mere ashes with ease. Each punch he delivers superheats the air around it, creating fiery explosions even when his strikes don't connect directly. In a thrusting motion, he can plunge the Matatabiho into his target, inflicting severe and often fatal wounds. The swiftness of this technique, combined with its devastating impact, renders it exceptionally useful for assassinations or as a lethal finishing move.
