Kage's first Hatsu allows him to enhance his tongue by employing either Ryu or Ko and strike his opponents for either offensive or defensive purposes. Kage's most common use is employing the form of Ko into his tongue and extend it's length and durability, penetrating the opponent's defense and piercing their body once hit. Kage has made a Vow that he can only extend his tongue's length to 50 meters, and if this Vow is violated the opponent he faced while violating this Vow will be immune to his attacks. Also, while this Hatsu was initially just Enhancement-based, Kage employed Transmutation to further augment its offensive properties, disintegrating anything hit by the Hatsu for more than three seconds.
