Blaze Release Armor

To use this Jutsu, Riku creates a veil of chakra around his body an Inch thick. He then causes Blaze chakra to erupt from his body creating an armor of Black flames. Due to it being made up of Amaterasu, everything it touches will beset ablaze with the undying flames; giving the armor not only a defensive form of protection, but it also adds a psychological deterrent as the armor with it's deadly effects are quite intimidating.

Riku has stated that this move has two major drawbacks. The longer he has this jutsu active, the quicker the chakra layer protecting him is destroyed, eventually leaving his body open to the deadly Black flames. The second is that this jutsu causes his body temperature to gradually increase, the longer he has the jutsu active. Due to this he is only able to keep the armor active for a duration of five minutes.
