(Futon: Kyonen no Natsu) - Wind Release: Last Summer
Rank: B-S
Type: Defensive/Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 20-40
Damage: 40-80 (+20)
Description: The user of this technique will channel his Futon chakra to form near invisible bowl-shaped half-sphere of wind either in front of him or at the end of his fist. The sphere can be used for both defensive and offensive purposes alike, however its main purpose is much more powerful. Upon being assaulted by an enemy attack the user will either psychically launch the sphere or expel a gust of wind from his/her fist to launch the sphere at the enemy attack when it's within range to make it look as if they had punched the enemy technique. At which point the bowl shaped sphere will envelop the enemy attack, and form a full, visible sphere. Depending on the elemental nature the sphere will neutralize the technique, for example depending on the rank of the enemy technique, and the rank of this technique used the user can snuff out flames. When faced with electrical attacks the user can disperse the current. When it's an earth technique, the wind sphere will both crush and cut apart the attack. It's offensive ability however is just as simple if not simpler, the sphere can be launched to engulf enemies and will shrink to both crush and cut apart the victim. The most powerful ability of this technique however, is a combination of both the offensive and defensive traits. The user of this technique instead of neutralizing enemy techniques will enhance them, redirecting them towards the opponent. Upon being attacked by a fire technique, the user will fuel the flames with wind putting enough spin into the flames to redirect it towards the opponent. Upon being faced with a water technique, the user will redirect it whilst adding pressurized trait, the water will have more cutting power. Upon being faced with an earth technique, the user will redirect it and use the wind to increase the force behind the earth. When facing a wind technique, the user will use their own wind technique to engulf, add increase the force, cutting ability and amount of wind in the technique. Unfortunately this part of the technique can not be used with lightning due to S/W the current is dispersed. Upon launching the technique back at the opponent, the technique increases by one rank.
