This Jutsu requires a special umbrella or parasol. After throwing the umbrella in the air, it will release a hailing "shower" of senbon. This was first used against Gaara in the Forest of Death by a Amegakure ninja named, Shigure, but it was easily blocked by Gaara's Sand. Any quick enemy will be able to deflect or block the senbon since they do not travel at particularly high speeds. However, this cannot be dodged by moving away since the needles cover a wide area. The needles were said to be able to pierce a 5 millimeter thick steel sheet. They can also be dipped in poison to increase lethality.
