When using the technique the shinobi swings their sword violently and imagines into being a wave of pressurized oxygen. As a result of the Yamabiko Clan beliefs the technique is usually used to deflect weak attacks or to propel themselves, however, the technique should not be underestimated by this. The technique does have offensive uses and its destructive power can be devastating in the right hands. When used offensively a Yamabiko Clan can use the wave of pressurized oxygen to slice through objects. The power of the wave is determined by how well the shinobi can imagine it.
