Katon ! Well Fire Release is the second mist offensive element (IMO) next to Raiton. Mainly because I don't remember seeing any defence katon techniques. Now katon doesn't need a source for performance and usually comes from the users diaphragm area in exhalation. Like the other elements fire release can take many forms depending on the skill and will of the user, dragons, phoenix, there are many fire shape manipulation techniques.
Strength: Katon is especially good against wind. I can't imagine any other element that katon is strong to, oh and mokuton! Its only natural fire burns wood. Are there any shadow type jutsus? Like, not Dark release, because if there is katon would definitely win. Aburame clan's bugs would be killed by fire too.
Weakness: Well Fire release is weak to Suiton, obviously. Well just a quick comment; fire is also weak to Amaterasu . And uhh, I'm not sure what else it is weak to :/ Oh, we know it cancels out with Boil release as is seen by Mei Terumi.
"Thats all I could gather from the crypts of my brain sensei.."
Atutututu, Fire is actually neutral to Wood, while it does make it burn it doesn't cause it to spontaneously ignite into nothingness, the process is quite long and that's why in this RP; Any ranked Fire technique = Any ranked Wood technique.
But other than that here,

This pretty much covers everything so give it a good read.
BUT LET'S MOVE ON! *Takes out a stick, and ignites the top* Place your more dominant palm over the tip of the stick, just so that you can feel the small fire that has been ignited, and tell me how you feel.
No trick question, I just wanted the simple answer yes u.u You were meant to feel fire, now from there feel the burning sensation within you; embrace the heat given off from my flame, and visualise a simple small ball in your hand. Now bring that imagination to reality, Take out your other, free hand and face it upwards with an open palm. Knead your newly-found katon chakra towards the center of that palm and simply try and bring this theoretical aspect you have in your mind into a physical form - in essence, shoot a simple fire ball up into the sky.
The feel of actual fire on my skin gave me all the encouragement I needed. I focus my mind on the feeling in my right palm and visualized a flame dancing in my palm. Surely enough I felt a surge of warm, flickering chakra run from my core to the rest of my body. I held my left hand towards the sun, imagining a fire sprouting into existence. I focused on forming a proper ball of fire in my palm and sure enough, I felt the flickering chakra that was coursing through my chakra system leave my skin and leap into existence. It flew for a couple of inches before disappearing in a small poof of smoke.
-What a vibrant sensei, I hope this joviality isn't contagious-
Set in the same awkward stance with my palm at the sky I focused harder on harvesting that warm flickering chakra. It felt small and not enough but I kept pulling and pulling, pooling it into the entire length of my arm, then when I feel as if enough is stored I released a second fireball at the sky. This one had more density and flew a lot further before dissipating into the atmosphere.
YESSS YOU ARE DOING IT YES YES! *throws glitter in the air as the crowd roars in applause*
HE HAS LEARNT HIS FIRST FIRE TECHNIQUES! The announcer shouts with all his might, subdued by this students excellence!
Now that's rather amazing! You should be proud, you've mastered the easiest but probably the most essential part of Katon, you have conquered the raging fire inside of you and learned to control it, learn to concentrate and even to manipulate fire to your will, from here the training will get more vigorous, and the jutsus will get more complex, but go the way you're going and it will be a breeze to you and you'll end up completing it, what I can't teach you though is to master the element mentally, only a ''mastered'' on paper, you have to go on your own path and find the true meaning of what it means to be a master of the Katon element, but that's a completely different story; for now, let me congratulate you on learning your first fire jutsu's!

From here on I'll post a description of what I want you to replicate in your next post, if you succeed in understanding and performing what I ask you to do, I'll post the jutsu in my next post after yours, meaning you've learnt it. So let's get straight into business. It'll just be like this till you get the hang of it, where we'll then follow a template;_;
Since we're on the point of shape manipulation, let's try doing something more advanced which is called infusing. *throws you several shurikens* Pick them up, and hold them separately throughout your fingers. Then, with a simple swinging motion, throw these shurikens towards your opponent, however the trick here is, as they are leaving your hands, begin to concentrate on your fire chakra, channeling throughout your entire body and more specifically to your hands and those shurikens. So that as they are moving towards your opponent, the chakra will come out and with the aid of oxidization from the air, they will get engulfed in fire as they are approaching your enemy, dealing more damage
After lazily picking up the star shaped shurikens I layed them out on my hands, eight in all. Holding them between my fingers I drew my hands close to my face, focusing on a nearby tree in the distance. Then I began focusing on harnessing that warm energy I felt earlier into my palms and fingers. Soon enough, the chakra was circulating thoroughly in my hands. I then threw all eight shurikens at my target, but as they left my hand I concentrated on transferring my Katon chakra into the metal pieces, coating them in fire. The result was 8 flaming stars lodged in a tree trunk.
Absolutely brilliant! Keep up the good work. For now let's run at a good pace
( Kaen Shuriken Ranbu ) - Blazing Shuriken Dance
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will throw several shuriken at the enemy and then inflames them with fire to cause extra damage.
Moving on, perform this sequence of hand signs *shows* Whilst kneading your Katon chakra throughout your your entire body, channeling it towards your gullet more specifically. Then, within an instant, blow the chakra out of your mouth. However here is the tricky part, you're not going to be blowing it out in a physical form of fire, but rather, manipulate the chakra inside your body, and make it so that you blow out a simple stream of flammable, non transparent gas that moves towards your opponent.
After that, hold out both your hands and we will practice the method of releasing simple fire-balls again, since you have done it before it should come much quicker and easier now. Channel your chakra to both of your palms, and using shape manipulation, form fire balls from the center of your hand, and release them in quick succession to different areas around the battlefield, and especially, send a single fireball towards the flammable gas, and upon contact of the two, the gas will ignite into an enormous, advanced fireball.
Inhaling I focused on the tricky thought of expelling gas from my mouth. I exhaled softly, almost like trying to breath on a fly as calmly as possible so it doesn't move, or blowing a tiny piece of paper across a smooth surface. The result was a small steady stream of gas, it poured out like liquid, dropping and crawling on the ground.
Then, I clasped both my hands and using the same method I used for the fireballs, I released my right hand and formed a small fireball using shape manipulation of my Katon chakra. Then I fired two in random locations and the third one onto the gas I had produced, a relatively huge explosion occurred sending all the creatures of the forest scurrying.

So let's kick it
( Katon: Shōkasou ) - Fire Release: Small Fire Stream
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will create a small short flame at the opponent. This flame is capable of making the target collapse due to the heat of the technique. This technique requires no handseals.
Simple first C-rank technique I suppose. Without the need of any hand signs, simply draw in air from the surrounding environment by inhaling, whilst channeling your katon chakra towards your gullet, formulating a fire which when you open your mouth, you'll exhale outwards towards your opponent. The fire itself is a stream which means that you will need to sustain it over it's whole duration. Because of this your mouth would need to remain open and you wouldn't be able to fuse the fire with another technique to empower it, let's say a wind technique. In terms of overall attack power, the heat from the flame could cause your opponent to collapse, as well as small burns upon contact.
Performing the technique: Inhaling a vast amount of air I began to simultaneously focus my Katon chakra into my throat. Then, as I began to exhale the air I induced the Katon chakra to form a steady stream of fire similar to a flame thrower, by keeping my mouth open and swaying my head I was able to move the fire stream about.
How would you use the technique in battle: I would use it on a bounded open or one that is trapped in a genjutsu
How to defend from the technique: By countering with a suitable Suiton technique or forming a simple wall of Doton to block it.
Do you like anything about the technique? I like the fact that it can end a match with it only being a C ranked technique
Questions about the technique: No not really, pretty straightforward

Then, focusing this Katon chakra in my gullet I began exhaling the air, as it reacted with my Katon chakra glorious fire came bursting from my mouth, weak fire, but fire nonetheless! [/FONT]
Alright, so we'll continue on from the other C-ranks. I just want you to perform them, no template stuff. I'll try to explain the techniques as well as I can and I also want your opinion on them, whether you think it's meh or actually useful in battle. It's the best way to develop your understanding. xD
( Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short-Mid
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 fire ball can present itself in 2 forms: it can either be created by a stream of fire and sustained as a gigantic ball of flames in front of the user spanning up to short range or be released as a slightly smaller ball of fire which will travel towards the enemy up to mid range.
Wellwellwell, this is the generic jutsu that comes to mind when I think of fire, the trademark one I guess w'll call it xD It's pretty simple. Consisting of quite a handful of hand signs, whereby simultaneously you inhale air whilst concentrating on your katon chakra, channeling it towards your gullet, where the two meet. A mix with the air particles and chakra will occur resulting in physical fire that can be then expelled from your and blown out of a ring made by your index and thumb from whichever hand; in 2 different forms.
- The first variant is a continuous stream, which means it needs to be maintained and whilst it's active you can't use another technique, this variant is huge and has a radius affecting up to short range of you.
- The second variant is a simple fire ball that is just expelled, it's not sustained nor a stream, it's smaller than the first variant but has a larger range, willing to go up to mid.
