Safer than it's higher level counterpart, Enkoudate no Jutsu offers a solid defense against most forms of attack. Any creature striking the user with an attack, melee or ranged, will likely be deflected by the fire shield. The user gains a +2 deflection bonus to defense and a damage reduction 2/-. Any unarmed or natural weapon attacks directed at the user benefit the aforementioned bonuses, as well as reflecting the equivalent of 25 points of
fire damage back to the source. While the shield is active, the user will also gain +4 bonus to saving throws against fire attacks. If the attack allows for a saving throw to take only half damage, the user suffer no damage on a successful save. This technique cannot be used in conjunction with Raidate no Jutsu, Suibougeki no Jutsu, Tsuchi no Yoroi, Junkaze no Jutsu, Kyuukyoku Enkoudate no Jutsu or other similar techniques. Chakra resistance applies to the reflected damage only.
