Salamander Technique

The Salamander Technique (鯢の術, Sanshō̄o no Jutsu, English TV: "Salamander Style" or "Art of the Salamander") is a protean full-body technique whereby certain users of the Lava Release can magmatize their body at will.

Overview
This technique makes the user virtually immune to physical attacks. By combining fire and earth-natured chakra, users of the Lava Release are able to "liquefy" the muscle matter of their bodies and manipulate it at will. This art is exclusive to t he Nakatani Clan, who created it in secret to mimic the limb regeneration of salamanders. The clan subjected its members to genetic engineering and maintained their mutation through a history of endogamic and consanguineous marriages. It is also possible to use this technique offensively; if a user creates a deep enough incision on a thickly-muscled section of the body, they can form an artificial limb of their "liquid muscle". The technique is distinguished by its coloration; unlike standard magma, the muscle-magma of the Salamander Technique is often blue or greenish in colour due to its lack of oxidization.

Drawbacks
Extended exposure outside of the body causes the outer layer of "liquid muscle" to calcify into tough black rock; the flow of muscle through this rock may once again turn blue or green. Due to the necessity of constant movement to prevent their artificial limbs from solidifying, this technique (when used offensively) can become extremely physically taxing.

Trivia

 * Anybody may use this technique for an OC from the Nakatani Clan.
 * This technique is usually seen glowing blue or green through the user's skin. This is because a fluorescent protein is engineered to be present in cells in the limbs of members of the Nakatani Clan, which are used by older members of the clan to track the efficiency of their cell division process as children. Only upon contact with air does the "liquid muscle" become red (or purplish) in colour.
 * Users of the offensive version of this technique can create multiple artificial limbs, or "tails", depending on the rapidity of their cell division, and the shape and size of the tails can be transformed at will. However, due to the muscle's tendency to calcify when exposed to air, it is important to keep the limb moving lest it be necessary to break it off entirely.
