Solar Flare

Solar Flare (太陽拳, Taiyōken; lit. "Fist of the Sun") is a non-lethal technique first used by Haruko and rediscovered by through his connection with the Earth Hono Uzumaki.

Overview
The Solar Flare is performed by the user placing their hands close to the center of their face with the fingers spread toward their eyes. The user then calls out the name of the technique, which provokes a white light to fire out and blind everything watching except the user, since they are projecting the light through means of refraction. Using ones chakra, the user bends the light around their figure similarly to Hiding in Camouflage. This technique is a defensive rather than offensive, and is mainly used as way to gain the upper hand, or in order to make hasty retreat, or to set up for a more complicated attack without fear of interruption.

Despite the simplicity of the attack and its "old" nature, the technique is still deemed extremely effective against some of the most powerful foes ever encountered by Hono.
