[Katon] with Snackos

One more element to go, last one I got up to learning was this.

(Katon: Keshi Makuga Hara) - Fire Release: Exploding Flame Crater
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user first stomps on the ground, making an underground tunnel form between themselves and the opponent. They then breathe out fire into the tunnel, causing the fire to turn into lava as it travels. With a single hand seal, the lava will erupt from the ground underneath the opponent, engulfing them in lava.

This one is pretty self explanatory. You know what I want. We'll discuss from there!

Like you said it's pretty self-explanatory. Create a tunnel, spew fire through it and it comes out the other end like a giant geyser. I'm assuming this technique wouldn't be like a real lava, but makeshift as it mixes the fire with the earth, so you don't have t worry about having the Lava KG in order to use this ability which is nice.

Is the tunnel's creation instantaneous? Or is it more like that one C-Rank earth technique which takes time to travel from where I am to where I want the exit to be?

Its not instantaneous. Very few things are truly instantaneous these days I believe. There is also an audio queue, however determining the nature of the technique through audio queue alone is not enough given Earth techniques act in the same way. So that's not really a big deal.

Ahh okay. Then sir I have nothing further to talk about regarding the technique.

Nice. Next technique then. I don't like this one much. In fact I've never used it.

Looks pretty nice I think. I like the implication that it can be used to essentially fuel into somewhat of a bigger technique. Quite deceptive, more or less. Not that it really matters in our RP that you could actually be deceptive with an expansive technique like this, but still could be fun to play with.

Do you need a wind technique to follow it up, or is that implied to happen when you use this?

The technique implies it. My biggest issue with it is the fact that it builds in steps. So while it still happens fast it is a little impractical since most people can respond when you create the fire and before you produce the wind to fuel and expand it. Feels sort of 'clunky' to me.

That's true, I guess with a clone or friend, the technique might feel a little more fluid in being performed, but aside from that there's not much use to it.

Ready to move on, senpai.

Look at this incredibly unique Fire Style technique >_>.

(Katon: Gōka no Jutsu) - Fire Release: Hellfire Technique
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user will manipulate their chakra and breath out from their mouth a large fireball that travels at the opponent. As it reaches the opponent it bursts into a maelstrom of fire engulfing them in flames.

 

[Alternative]

Awesome, a bigger, stronger fireball. I'm sure there's plenty of usage for that, but nothing really worth discussing over it. In the end, it's just a big fireball that kinda bursts on contact with the target.

If anything, would this technique supposedly "burst into a maelstrom of fire" if it dies out? What I mean is the technique mentions short-mid range, so if my target would long range, would it still have that intended effect if it hit nothing, or just die out?

Yeah just a normal fireball in all but its properties. And if it hits nothing then yes it would simply die out. No explosion would occur. A lot of customs have been made off of the explosive properties of this technique. So really that is the only noteworthy thing about it is this maelstrom of fire produced when it makes contact with a physical object.

( Katon: Gōka Honoo no Hashira Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Great Fire Flame Pillars Technique
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user will knead their fire chakra and release it into the ground by stomping down their leg and then causing three pillars of fire several meters tall spaced out evenly. The Pillars of fire can act as a defensive wall against incoming techniques or targets or used to attack low aerial targets.

Moving on. Here's one that is more interesting and noteworthy.

So I guess this doesn't really need hand seals or anything, just stomping the ground in order to create pillars of fire that erupt. Again, this seems to be a little different from Exploding Flame Crater, as it doesn't require you to create a hole beforehand, or spew fire into it to make the technique work, so in that essence it seems to be more beneficial to the person using the technique. Like the last technique, this one would need a steady foot on the ground since that seems to be the medium for using it. But aside from that it seems pretty straight forward.

What's the vertical reach of this technique, roughly? I'm assuming low-aerial targets would assume that it can't be used to reach someone super high up in the sky. Also can the technique be angled? Or would the pillars themselves be perpendicular to the ground?

I'd agree with you on the reach being able to strike low aerial targets. Although I wouldn't push it much further than that given that it isn't very clear. There's definitely some creativity room in it, though. For example saying that you create a pillar as tall as an average human or one 5 meters tall, and so on. So I wouldn't confine yourself to a single height. And yeah, they need to be perpendicular.

Katon Renkeijutsu: Karura) - Fire Release Co-Operation Technique: Garuda
Rank: A

Description: The user after performing the Shadow Clone Technique and creating two shadow clones and then by performing the required sequence of hand seals Dog → Rat → Tiger and the user and the two shadow clones release a long flame of intense fire from their mouths which combine to form a flaming dragon.
Note: Requires 2 shadow clones before use.

Yeah. Shadow Clones <___>

So in that sense, say you or someone else does something to the ground artificially through some kind of technique (i.e. making a crater), it could still be used to angle the technique in that way instead? Seems like there's a lot of creativity with that technique alone.

New technique sounds like something I'll never use honestly. It just seems like a stream of fire that shapes like a dragon, with the downside being you can't do it on your own for some reason. I really don't have anything else to add about this technique. The only thing I could think of would be curiousity of controlling the flames, like the other elemental dragon techniques.

doesnt use/know shadow clones ;__;

Oops. Sorry didn't think you'd have a follow up question xD. Anyways I'd say sure as long as it is still in contact with the ground. You make a good point there. I'll ask to clarify though.

Yeah this technique requires too much leg work in my opinion. Make shadow clones, then do this and that and finally you've got the technique. And yet meanwhile after all that leg work an opponent will simply deal with it with one move and laugh away at the zero pressure applied to them.

Not liking the amount of legwork needed for a technique which can be easily achieved through other means. >_> Anyways I'm ready to move on.

I agree <_>. Let's finish up the A-Ranks. The first one is pretty iconic. The second is the new Fire technique added a few months ago which was used by Madara in the 4th war.

(Katon: Ryūen Hōka no Jutsu) - Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: After performing the hand seal Tiger the user compresses a large amount of chakra built up inside their body, before instead expelling it in the form of a number of dragon head-shaped fireballs. The user then skilfully manipulates that great fire, and attacks their opponent. The temperature of the created flames is so great that, even with the briefest of contact, they are capable of easily burning human flesh and the fireballs are dense enough to behave almost as solid, being able to deliver impact damage in adition to the fire damage. However, this also means that they can be deflected as a solid projectiles.

( Katon: Haijingakure no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Hiding in Ash and Dust Technique
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: The user expels chakra-infused ash that blankets a wide area, burning anyone who comes in contact with it. The technique can also be used as a powerful deterrent from attacks as well as a highly effective smokescreen.

I do like the first technique, there's not much you can do with it, but the fact that it tells us so much in terms of the fact that it can be used for fire damage, as well as a blunt force impact would be great, especially if you're needing a quick release technique against something huge like a boss summon or some earth technique. It'd be a nice technique in the sense that even if you can't really destroy something with it, you could easily deter its course instead, of course that would mean having the power to do so instead of blatantly shooting the fireballs at your target. If I have any questions about this technique, how many projectiles can this create at once, without degrading in rank? It mentions a number of them, but not a specific amount.

As for the second technique, the first time I read it I thought it was a mix between Hiding in Mist, and that one Ash technique Asuma likes using. If anything it seems to be more the latter, without the need to set the technique off and let it explode. Quite handy if you need an offensive getaway or just something to blind your enemies. I guess a big weakness of this technique, even though it doesn't really make sense in terms of our RP, would be big scale Wind techniques. I mean if someone decided to blow that into my vicinity, I likely wouldn't be able to do much with it. In those terms, it's a double-edged sword, but it's still a nice technique that I'd consider using a bit. No questions about this one, sir.

Because it mentions a number of them you can create as many as you want within reason. The total strength never is reduced. So if you create two fireballs then each is B-Rank. If you create four then each is C-Rank. Its additive in that sense. This applies for all techniques which produce multiple projectiles. No matter what the total strength always is A-Rank.

Yeah. Pretty spot on. Its very quick as well. The fact no hand seals are needed just make this technique fantastic. But be ready for it to be thrown right back at you.

Moving on to the S-Ranks.

(Katon: Gōen no Jutsu) - Fire Release: Great Flame Technique
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Description: The user does one handseal and inhales while molding a great amount of chakra into their lungs and expelling a large stream of flames from their mouth. The user has control over the concentration of the technique, being able to produce a narrow jet of flames, highly concentrated or one that will widen along its range. The flames are hot enough to quickly evaporate large quantities of water within a relatively short amount of time.
