- Name: Dance of the Camellia (椿の舞, Tsubaki no Mai, English TV: Camellia Dance)
- Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)[1]
- User: Kimimaro
- Debut (Anime): Naruto Episode 121
- Debut (Manga): Chapter 206
Kimimaro performs this jutsu by modifying the humerus (upper arm bone) of either his right or left arm to create a short, hilt-less bone sword. Since he can increase and compress the density of his bones, he can make the sword harder than steel. He then uses the sword to fight; his style uses quick cuts and thrusts to disable opponents quickly. He is extremely proficient with this sword and can, not only deflect shuriken, but also dispatch a large number of Shadow Clones with this technique.
Although the Camillia Dance works on Naruto, the attack proves virtually useless against Rock Lee's Drunken Fist.
