Camellia Dance is Kimimaro's combat technique that uses his Kekkei Genkai Shikotsumyaku. He extracts a bone from his body, such as the humerus, and shapes it into a sword. With this bone blade, Kimimaro delivers a series of rapid thrusting strikes, moving so swiftly that afterimages are created. Each thrust comes at a slightly different angle, at a slightly different speed, and at a slightly different point, making it nearly impossible to predict the attacks. Even if the opponent evades for some time, sooner or later he fails to keep up with the chaotic rhythm, and Kimimaro lands the final deadly blow. The bone itself is incredibly hard and harder than steel. This is confirmed by the fact that Kimimaro cut through metal shurikens with this "blade."
