Aside from the chakra costs, the technique's main drawback lies in its set limitations. Uzume cannot withstand temperatures beyond that of the typical fire release, meaning attempting to block an Amaterasu or a ninjutsu of the Plasma Release would be near suicide, and cannot cancel out explosive, concussive forces, such as those delivered by exploding tags. Despite these, the technique is extremely useful, especially when combined with others to increase its versatility.
