Roku and White Flash head North

[RokuNR]

I listen taking in Yoshino's words before putting them to practice, however not before a pup named Shu outclasses me, yet again...
I once again focus on my inner fire. Concentrating and allowing it to once again spark up, the fire growing in size as its feelings for life further intensify. I then begin to build up my chakra, melding it with my inner fire as is the usualy process. Once I feel that the life force of my inner fire has been succefully melded with my chakra. I then throw several shurikens into the sky, breathing in one last abundance of air through my nostrils that further intensifies my fire chakra. I then unleash the torrent of flames that I section into medicore sized fireballs. The stream of fire enveloping the shurikens in flames. The blazing shurikens continuing into the sky.

-Each of the other students successfully execute the attack as well-

Yoshino: Well done, students. That will be all for today. Now then, return home and we will begin the more advanced set of techniques tomorrow.

-As you leave Yoshino's dojo and pass through the marketplace, you notice the adjacent ukiyo section of the common area. Intrigued by the lights and bustling noises coming from the section, you enter gleefully. When you arrive, you notice the streets begin to crowd and lanterns light up the entire area magnificently. As the sun has nearly set, night activity begins to increase. Warrior wolves and other children walk and run through the streets, eating, dancing, drinking, and performing. To your right is a large theater which particularly attracts your attention. You enter, your curiosity piqued by the intricate design of the theater's exterior. The theater is heavily crowded with wolves, but it has a massive interior, capable of accommodating at least several hundred persons-

I become even more intrigued as the lighting within the theater dims. No doubt it was signalling the start of a new play. I decided to take a seat, at the back, next to one of the large ornate paintings, watching as the theatrics take place. I watched; intrigued for hours, the play was certainly more robust and aggressive in comparison to the plays of humans, however it sparked a certain passion, intensity and vigor that most plays failed to touch on. The play, seemed to be similar in plot to that of Romeo and Juliet, a hidden romance, feuding families, it was all one and the same. However I found myself far more captivated by the wolven version than I had ever been by the human version. As the curtains cascaded to a close, and the lights once again brightened, I took my leave. Stepping out into the snowy yet rocky, almost cobbled path. Pondering on what to do next.

-As you wander the streets, you come across an artist who is coercing people to have their portraits made by him. He then notices you and steps up to you boldly-

Artist: You, sir, don't look like you're from around here! O_O How about you have your identity engraved into Mount Fang's history by the finest painter in the North?! For an exorbitant fee, of course. >.>'

What price are we talking about here? ¬_¬

I briskly delve into my man pouch(.-.), drawing out two twenties. Flashing them across the artists line of sight, enticing him with the money, before finally handing over half of the money. I then continue to sit and wait patiently, taking up my awesome face pose so as to get a fine portrait in return. Waiting, and waiting for the artist to announce his finish...

Artist: *gives you a puzzled look* Human currency? Sorry. I only accept Silver Fangs. I'll need 4,000 of them if you want to have your portrait done.

Oh, well sorry, I don't have any of those. I won't not never come back. Bye ^^

I continued to trudge down the round, and when I was out of earshot of the artist, I mumbled beneath my breath "Geez what a extortionist", I continued ranting as I walked to who knows where. I soon however decided to search for the path that would lead me back to my cabin. Setting down for the night, only to wake up hours later at the break of dawn...

-As dawn breaks, you awaken and prepare for the day, noticing that while you had forgotten to bring sets of clothing for an extended stay, you have been provided with traditional Mount Fang attire for your time here-

Spoiler

The appearance is somewhat similar to this but is completely white, including white pants of the same style.

As soon as I arrive at the market, I quickly scan my immediate surroundings for the nearest breakfast bar, looking rather crazed while doing so due to being in a frantic rush. After locating a fairly well looked after, rather neat and tidy and clean looking stand, I briskly walk to the counter, asking for a bowl of ramen, ramen that contains breakfasty type stuff. (>_>). Relaxing and living a life of relative luxury while eating my ramen, allowing time to fly by as rushing breakfast simply isn't and never will be in my agenda. Upon finishing eating however, I once again assume my crazed stance, sprinting towards where the Dojo is. Slowing my pace slightly as I see the dojo on the horizon, making out the figures of Yoshi-san and a few other wolf pups...

I finally come to a abrupt halt outside the dojo, bowing respectfully and awaiting instructions.

-It is still early morning, with the sun having risen only recently, and you immediately take note of the fact that there are significantly fewer wolves than were present at the lesson yesterday. The talented wolf Shu is present, however, and he sneers at you teasingly-

Yoshino: Welcome, students. Not many more were brave enough to continue immediately along the path of Fire. You will find that as the days come and go, the numbers here will dwindle significantly, and such is the nature of the path of Fire. Only those prepared to tame their inner flame may harness the beauty that is Fire.

I will be teaching at an increased pace, so if you fail to keep up, it is a true shame. You're always welcome to return to the beginner class.

Now then...

Feeling slightly rejuvenated from my rest, I quickly continue to follow the task. My nostrils flaring as I take a quick yet shallow breath in through my nose, while begging to focus on my inner fire. Allowing the intensity of my inner flames flaring up so as to exceed their normal level. I then begin to build and gather my normal chakra, focusing so as to meld my inner flames with the chakra I gather, kneading both my inner fire and chakra together so as to form my fire chakra. Once I feel that I've gathered enough chakra, I quickly exhale, my exhalation being almost as brief as when I had inhaled earlier. As I exhale I allow my fire chakra to spark, releasing a mass of intense flames in a stream from my mouth. The heat of the flames far exceeding that of the techniques in which I performed yesterday.

Yoshino: Excellent work Scaze. Your flame was almost exactly on par with Shu's. Such intensity and swiftness of skill. The rest of you students should take example from Scaze and Shu.

Now then, let us move on to the next technique.

( Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After performing the necessary hand seals Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger, a ninja inhales air, and utilizing a large amount of fire chakra, spews a large fireball from their mouth after blowing through a ring made by the thumb and index finger of the user, incinerating everything in range. The fireball ignites externally.

The Great Fireball Technique is perhaps the move revered and celebrated fundamental Katon ninjutsu ever created. As you perhaps know, those of the Uchiha Clan are particularly well-versed in the usage of said technique. The breath here is key. You must inhale greatly, allowing the heat of your inner fire to swell up within your chest, and then, with one great bellow, exhale an intense and magnificent fireball.

"Thank you, master Yoshino."
After listening to Yoshino's instructions, I once again begin to inhale, taking a deep breath through both my nostrils and my mouth, allowing my Lung to be filled to their limit with air. As I inhale, I begin to focus on my inner fire, allowing it to overflow as it sparks up in a frenzy of intense flames. Fueling my inner fire with sheer determination, then having spurred the flames of my inner fire, inciting it into a blazing inferno, I quickly begin to perform a short string of handseals, gathering my chakra as I do so and melding it with my inner flames. Then having harnessed both my chakra and inner flames into one, I begin to exhale, releasing it all in one swift blast, applying large amounts of shape manipulation as I exhale, so as to shape the unfocused torrent of flames into a rather linear, yet raging fireball. The fireball proceeds to fly forwards through the air, producing a crisp crackling sound as it does so.

Yoshino: Very well done, Shu.

-Shu sneers at you and smiles, a bit more self-satisfied than is characteristic of an individual-

Scaze, your fireball was refined and excellently controlled, but it was too small. In the future, try to incorporate a bit more chakra into your techniques. Though you must be able to show restraint with Fire, one should never be timid with their use of Fire. If you possess true control, it should not matter how ferocious your flames are.

(Katon: Kimuchi Amura ) - Fire Release: Wall of Flames
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary/Defence
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user first throws out a lighter that has an open flame.The user the turns the flame into a wall of fire used for protection or to burn small objects thrown towards him. This jutsu can be used with Hurricane Fist to create a combo jutsu.

This technique is particularly useful as a defense from minor threats. It may come in handy to some of you one day. I would like for you all to create a wall of flames by expanding the flaming chakra from a source. *points to a torch by one small island of the dojo* Together now...

 

[System001]

"Yes Yoshino-sensei"
I once again begin to focus on my inner flames, allowing my flames to flare up once again. I knead and focus them, before finally begging to build and gather my chakra. Once I've gathered enough chakra I begin to allow my chakra to meld with my inner flames. Allowing my inner flames and chakra to compliment each-other, creating a potent combination. I then begin to manipulate my fire chakra, allowing the will of my flames to seep out of my body towards the fire source in-front of me. Focusing on the fire source, using the chakra that I released into the flames, I manipulate the source of fire so as to make it burst upwards. As I do so, I allow my fire chakra to fuel the lanterns flames, while also utilizing it so as to apply shape manipulation to the fire so as to shape it into a uniform wall of fire.

You seem to have a natural knack for this. Keep on practicing and you'll have the technique mastered by the time you're my age.

In all seriousness, keep in mind that the image of an ever-expanding fire should always surge through your mind with a technique of this nature. Moving on...

( Katon: Hibashiri ) - Fire Release: Running Fire
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After performing the Tiger hand seal by utilizing their fire chakra, the user will create a stream of fire that can be manipulated into several forms (rings of fire that runs on the ground or a circle of fire flying through the air) before striking the target. It can also be used in combination with a suitable wind technique to release a massive inferno.

This is one of my most preferred techniques. It is simple yet elegant, and it draws upon a basic premise of a simple stream of fire along with a slight amount of shape manipulation to give the fire its ring-shape. Breathe in, and do as I have shown you.

 

[System001]

I begin by taking a deep breath in, allowing my inner flames to thrive and envisioning a ever expanding fire. By focusing on the mental image, I continue to focus my flames, while also begging to build and gather my chakra. Then by kneading my inner flames with my chakra thus applying nature transformation to my chakra, I continue to focus my fire chakra within my gullet. Once I feel that I've amassed enough chakra within my throat I exhale, converting my chakra to real flames while I do so by focusing on thoughts of combustion and ignition. Thus by doing so I successfully create a stream of fire in a similar manner to some of the techniques I've previously performed. However I continue onto the next step, applying shape manipulation as I release the blaze so as to make the torrent of flames form into a ring form into a ring of fire that races towards the air to my intended target. A small bush in the distance.

( Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user will perform four handseals Snake → Dragon → Rabbit → Tiger , and breathe fire along a cord or any other type of long object, which rushes forward in straight line catching the enemy on fire. A line of enemies can be used as the conductor as well. The flames are meant to target, and assault the enemy's upper body just like a projectile weapon.

This is perhaps the most deadly of the C-ranked Fire Release techniques. Do not be fooled.

The technique's main focus is power. It is a projectile, highly concentrate in a sizable stream, meant to directly assault your enemy, overwhelming him. Take a deep breath, focus your inner fire, and in one powerful exhalation, I want you to release a magnificent stream of fire in the shape of a dragon head. Oh, and do not aim directly at me.
