This technique creates a powerful barrier in front of the user that instantly repels any
creature making direct contact with it. The barrier is completely transparent and requires one to be able to See Chakra, See Through Chakra or make a Dex check (DC 20) to detect it. Any creature making contact with the barrier suffers 10 points of Chakra and Fire damage per round as long as it maintains contact, and will be unable to go through, as though it was facing an indestructible wall. Anyone who try's to break through must make a Str check (DC 30). This technique does not, however, block inanimate objects and will provide no protection against melee or ranged armed attacks, and neither will it block any technique.

While this technique is very useful to stop a pursuing foe, the user is still affected by his own barrier. Chakra resistance negates the damage but does not allow passage of living creatures.
