Fire Release: Phoenix Claw

A chakra flow technique similar in kind to the Flying Swallow technique. The user flows their chakra into a weapon they are holding after making the necessary nature transformation to Fire Release. The weapon, in turn, will begin to heat up to a degree high enough to cause the metal glow with a hot red aura around it. This give the weapon a "melting" effect to anything it comes in contact with. This jutsu super heats the target to a degree that it can cleave through most things leaving a burned, melted scar through the object it cuts. On skin this works by cutting a gash into the receiving party and almost instantly cauterizing the wound. This effectively leaves treated scars on a human body that wont bleed but will cause a large amount of pain.

This jutsu can be used on a number of different tools. Most often it is seen used with bladed weapons such as katanas and kunai. However it can also be done to blunt weapons. This will not give the same cleaving effect, but can still leave a significant burn to anyone unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of it. Aiden Uchiha has even been seen using this technique with a steel kite shield before.
