Book One ~ Seizing the Flames of Life

[MantoraSama]

The air around was still, but yet soothing as the promising genin stood awaiting the perfect time. The time when he could thrust his shackled body into the air and dance; and, dance until the relinquished swirls of the wind rid him of his chains. Thus, setting him free amongst the ever so welcoming sun. Upon the conclusion of his offensive practice, he could feel the bullied air rustle around as if he was a deity with earth shattering presence. Man, did it look awesome....

Deng sat, Indian style, away from shade to bask in the sun's warmth; he doing what was always done at situations similar to this. Freeing himself from lessons, chores, and just plain life's obstacles; to think of nothing less than tranquility. Remarkably odd, since Deng done some half time with practicing his martial arts. However, that wasn't simply a lesson; but, more of a concept for the way life. Therefore, Deng never minded practicing steps of those. Nevertheless, today was important day since Deng would finally meet his assigned mentor. His name? Deng had no idea. However, he just hoped him to be a kind, worth respecting man.

Shall he appear on time or not. That is an thought worth debating.​

As a determined RP'er, I except some rather nice descriptions from you in the areas I require. ^_^

Fire it is then. Answer the following. Dont copy and paste, but you can use narutowikia for help.

• What is fire in the Narutoverse?
• What is fire weak to?
• What is fire strong to?
• Three fire users?
• Three fire techniques?

 

[MantoraSama]

Naruto Universe

• Katon, one of the five basic elemental/nature transformation, is the pyrokinetic ability to create and control fire. Katon is, majority of the time, the element of power, consisting of overpowering force tempered by the unflinching will to accomplish tasks and desires. It can be quite notable for its intensive attacking style and general lack of adequate defense techniques. In essence Katon is simply super heated chakra expelled by the lungs of its user.

Weakness

• Equal and Higher Ranked Suiton
• Equal and Higher Ranked Hyouton
• Higher Ranked Fuuton
• Higher Ranked Earth

Strengths

• Lower Ranked Suiton
• Lower Ranked Hyouton
• Lower Ranked Fuuton
• Equal or Lower Ranked Earth

Notable Katon Users

• Madara Uchiha
• Sasuke Uchiha
• Itachi Uchiha

Techniques

• (Katon: Ryu Kaen Bakufuu) - Fire Release: Dragon Flame Blitz
• (Katon: Komakai Kaki) - Fire Release: Small fire
• (Katon: Kasumi Endu no Jutsu) - Fire Release: Mist Blaze Dance Technique

I think you got your weakness of Futon mixed up. Katon isnt really weak to Futon, unless the difference of the fire technique is at least 2 ranks below the wind.

But good on everything else.

-I expel a small stream of fire from my mouth, after gathering a few pieces of timber-

Lets sit by the campfire, shall we?

No previous training correct?

Mantora sits down near the fire, pending about the actual purpose of it

Noooo. Absolutely no training, have I received before this.

Interesting, well i'll be patient and gentle with you. Well, maybe not gentle.. :scorps:

Now, this campfire is used as a visual representation of what you're about to do.

-Hands you a piece of paper-

Place this paper inbetween your hands, and focus on channeling fire chakra into your hands. After a certain amount of time, the paper should begin to smoulder, ignite, and turn to ash after you focus enough fire chakra. Wake me up when you're done, Mant.

-Goes to take a nap-

 

[MantoraSama]

Deng once again took opportunity to sit, Indian style, within the sun's warming rays; especially since, he sought this method of tapping into his inspiring Katon affinity second to none. Grasping the paper his mentor had provided for him, he ellipse it between his hands; hidden by that of the Confrontation seal. At the very moment Deng closed his eyes and imagined the imagery of a blaze burning at its brightest, and at that very moment. He attempted at surging chakra into the piece of paper.

-Wakes up and looks at you concentrating-

Good, good. More chakra, you're almost there.

-The edges of the the paper begin to just turn black-

 

[MantoraSama]

To try harder was an understatement, especially considering that Deng felt he was at his limit. Chakra manipulation wasn't his strong suit and now having to convert energy into a blazing affinity seem damn near impossible. However, he knew this wasn't the time lollygag around training. Therefore, Deng simply inputted more force and effort in hopes to succeed.

-The paper crumbles away in your hand into ash after igniting from all the edges-

Well done, my son. U_U

Shall we learn a technique?

Deng couldn't believe that he pulled it off. All that discipline and training during youth finally seem to be returning with its benefits. Despite his temporary moment of success, he knew he was quite drained and the mention of learning any kind of techniques seemed rather hasty. Nonetheless, Deng stood up and gave Clearance to his mentor. "Of course"

Alright, when I give you a technique to perform, you will..

• Describe in detail the process of performing each technique. It should be a minimum of 4 sentences long.
• List Advantages.
• List Disadvantages.

Any questions or concerns?

None whatsoever.

 

[Selendrile]

First up..

Spoiler

(Katon: Ryu Kaen Bakufuu) - Fire Release: Dragon Flame Blitz
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user shoots balls of fire at the opponent.

A simple technique really. Convert your heated chakra into fire, and then expel balls of fire from your mouth, burning my clone severely.

-Creates clone-

 

[MantoraSama]

The object was to perform a simply D ranked technique. Deng already knew of "Ryu Kaen Bakufuu" and was well knowledgeable about the required hand seals to perform the Katon technique. All that was left was his actual skill in producing strong enough flames, therefore Deng began the process of completing each seal all the while contributing to his gathering of fire affinity chakra. After some time, Deng inhaled a large amount of oxygen and simply released it along with his gathered chakra. His goal was to simply release at least one fireball. "Katon: Ryu Kaen Bakufuu - Fire Release: Dragon Flame Blitz!"

​

​

​

The advantages to this technique is its natural elemental strength against earth of the same rank as well lower wind styled techniques. Another obvious advantage is its low rank which means less chakra is needed to form the flames that could be used for many supplementary methods. Other then that, one could argue an individual's ability to release several fire balls big enough to create either a larger one or manipulate it's numbers to cover the vision of their opponents. Nonetheless, the weaknesses are direct counters to the strengths such as its natural elemental weakness and higher ranked earth. Also that your vision of the opponent is blocked as well.

Fire's natural strength - Wind
Fire's natural weakness- Water

The rest is good however. You can combine fire and earth together, but usually only when the earth is mud, so it is hardened into rock.

Questions?

Yeah, if the Doton is weak in rank compared to Katon wouldn't it melt, thus being a weaker natural element. For the Suiton, I totally forgot that was an option to explain. I was focusing on strategical counters instead of obvious ones.

Think about it like this. People fire pottery, turning it from a rather soft object, into a more sturdy one. Thats basically how it works here. Doton isn't a conventional counter to Katon anyway. They aren't opposing elements like Katon and Suiton.

You dont necessarily have to explain disadvantages for each specific element on each technique.

I understand. Shall I attempt the technique again?

 

[Selendrile]

Yessir.
