Sage Art: Goemon


 * Name:
 * Type: Senjutsu, No rank, Offensive, All ranges
 * Users: Jiraiya with Shima and Fukasaku
 * Debut (Manga): Chapter 377

The Sage Art: Goemon jutsu is a three-way synchronized combination (or collaboration) jutsu between Jiraiya with Shima and Fukasaku. It is similar to the anime-only Wind Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet, a three-way "wind/fire/oil" technique used between Naruto Uzumaki, Gamakichi and Gamatatsu.

The Sage Art: Goemon technique is a Sage level combination attack, used to ensure the target's destruction, and is used on Shima's signal once the opponent has been driven into a corner: first, Jiraiya creates a large volume of oil, followed by Fukasaku performing a Wind Release technique and Shima performing a large Fire Release technique.

Since Wind Chakra naturally feeds into Fire Chakra, Fukasaku's wind jutsu increases the intensity of Shima's fire jutsu, increasing the flames destructive potential. Fukasaku's wind jutsu also provides the oil from Jiraiya's jutsu with more pressure to deliver more force, causing the area to be be filled with burning oil. The wind-enhanced oil-blast, followed by the wind-enhanced flames, creates an inferno of such magnitude that, within an instant, the target and the surrounding area will be reduced to cinders.

Name
Goemon comes from the legendary sixteenth-century ninja Ishikawa Goemon (石川五右衛門) who was boiled alive in oil after a failed assassination attempt on the daimyo Toyotomi Hideyoshi (豊臣秀吉).
