This Jutsu is effectively a more advanced form of the Fire Clone Jutsu. Due to it's unique nature, the Flame Clone will be identical to the user in every way. Houou is never seen making more than one clone at a time with this technique. This is due to the massive amount of chakra that goes into the clone to keep it at full strength. As such, it is a rarely-used jutsu. While this Jutsu is impressive on it's own, when used with Phoenix Style: Eternal Cycle, this Jutsu becomes the key to Houou's immortality.
