Type: Offensive
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short - Long (Explosion is Short-Ranged)
Chakra: 50
Damage: 90 (-40 damage to the user)
Description:
Kakuzu will focus his chakra into one his elemental masks (whether its inside or outside of his body) to cause it to erupt into a devastating Forbidden Ranked blast of its respective element. Due to differences in transition states (solid, liquid, gas and energy-based), the various effects that can be produced by this technique will differ widely. However, they all follow the universal rule that once an elemental heart as been forced to "explode", until its replaced the user will become unable to utilize the sacrificed element. If this jutsu is used on a mask currently inside of the user's body, the jutsu will go ahead as planned but the user will be killed in the process.
Fire Mask
When forced to erupt, the Katon mask will release an intensive omni-directional burst of fire which will swiftly incinerate anything and anyone caught within its five-meter radius blast radius. Whilst inherently small scale, the sheer heat and power of these flames is enough to reduce almost anything to ashes if they're unfortunate enough to be caught inside in its reach.
Lightning Mask
When forced to erupt, the Raiton mask will burst into an eruption of bright light and surging electricity, capturing the opponent in a cube composed of solid-like confines (similar to the one produced Lightning Release: Plasma Ball) whilst they are ravaged inside by countless wild bolts of lightning, tearing them apart on a near-molecular level. The initial explosion of lightning serves the simultaneous purposes of blinding and paralyzing the opponent, rendering them near helpless if caught within the explosion. This elemental explosion seems to resemble the process of demolecularization used in Dust Release, albeit on a much lesser scale. The plasma cube will encase anything within a five meter radius of the initial "explosion".
Wind Mask
When forced to erupt, the Fuuton mask will suddenly implode in on itself capturing everything within a five meter radius into a dome of slicing winds. The dome will exhibit properties similar to those produced in Rasenshuriken, with the microscopic blades of wind cutting and slicing the opponent on a molecular level, severing all nerve channels in the body, leaving the target unable to move after being struck. They also attack the entire chakra circulatory system, which cannot be repaired by any form of medical ninjutsu whatsoever. Unlike the other elemental "explosions", this one is the only one which does not directly kill but simply leaves the opponent in a vegetative state, unable to move or mold chakra, making this very effective against medical shinobi.
Earth Mask
When forced to erupt, the earth mask will explode into a copious quantity of adhesive mud that will ensnare anything within short-range of its position. The mud on contact with anything will harden into rock and so will effectively petrify anything caught within its reach.
