This jutsu requires a scroll on which a blueprint of a particular area should be. It will cause four giant gates to emerge north, east, south, and west of the desired area. Afterwards, the gates will form a protection barrier around the area. This barrier has a very high durability, anything that makes contact with it will immediately be engulfed in flames. The only way to pass through the barrier unharmed is with a special seal.
