[Fire] Method senpai teaches me 'method' of Fire Release..

Method · Dec 28, 2013

Haha U_U... I have given you plenty of rest from the previous jutsu you had performed. We now move on to higher classed techniques..

B Rank

( Katon: Karyū Endan ) - Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet
Rank: B

Type: Offense
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user first performs seven handseals Ram → Horse → Snake → Dragon → Rat → Ox → Tiger and kneads chakra into flames, which are then manipulated and exhaled as a thin yet incredibly fast jet of flames that spread across the ground as it runs towards the enemy. Its temperature is such that it easily melts the ground as it travels and can reduce an enemy to ash.

Perform multiple hand seals while kneading your chakra. Release a large flame dragon from your mouth, using chakra manipulation you then divide the fire to travel across three different paths. The flames will continue forward from both the left & right side & also straight forward toward your opponent.

A great choice to cover a wide area when in close range to your opponent, although this does leave you slightly open to water attacks. Best use this when your opponent is distracted or in a state that makes it hard for them to counter in time.

( Bakuhatsu Enhogan ) – Exploding Flame Shots
Rank: B

Type: Attack
Range: Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user shoots multiple fire shots from their hands that are able to cause fiery explosions on impact with any object. The shots can't set the opponent on fire, though they can cause damage by exploding on him.

Manipulate your chakra, having it spread across your hand & create a ball(s) of fire that you then hurl toward your target. They do not burn your opponent but rather explode on contact

Would be a great distraction jutsu, if not used against the target but rather their surrounding area. Against the ground it could be used to create a smokescreen on impact which you use to release another toward your opponent.

First of all I apologize for late reply sensei.

'Yeh, B-rank, B-rank', Itachi screams happily as he reads the instructions provided by his sensei.

'That rest was enough to recharge me, time to go wild again', Itachi quickly prepares the notes as he writes the heading 'B-rank'.
B-Rank
( Katon: Karyū Endan ) - Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet

Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user first performs seven handseals Ram → Horse → Snake → Dragon → Rat → Ox → Tiger and kneads chakra into flames, which are then manipulated and exhaled as a thin yet incredibly fast jet of flames that spread across the ground as it runs towards the enemy. Its temperature is such that it easily melts the ground as it travels and can reduce an enemy to ash.

Advantages:
1. Biggest advantage is it's range, it is useful in short and long range and hence very effective technique.
2. Another advantage is that it is quite OP technique as it even melts ground, lower ranked doton is useless on top of that it is fast and hence difficult to avoid.
Disadvantages:
1. Biggest disadvantage is requirement of handseals which makes it slow tech.
2. Being a higher ranked technique it requires chakra in higher amount which can be treated as disadvantage because it isn't useful when you have low chakra reserves.
Situations I would use it in:
Useful OP Katon technique and hence I can use it in various ways. Can be used as nice opening offensive tech to bring my opponent in the suitable range for next tech. Can be combined with supplementary tech to negate time required for handseals and making it even more faster.
Demonstration
Itachi quickly waves the handseals in the specified sequence(Ram → Horse → Snake → Dragon → Rat → Ox → Tiger) and prepares himself to knead the chakra and convert it in the form of fire which he then exhales in the direction of his opponent, these flames move very fast towards his opponent and even melt the ground. Flames soon strike his opponent(his sensei's clone), to reduce it into ash.
After learning this OP tech, Itachi focusses on illustration of next tech.
( Bakuhatsu Enhogan ) – Exploding Flame Shots

Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user shoots multiple fire shots from their hands that are able to cause fiery explosions on impact with any object. The shots can't set the opponent on fire, though they can cause damage by exploding on him.

Advantages:
1. Biggest advantage is it's flexibility, it can be used as normal fire jutsu as well as to create smokescreen. It can be used as aggressive jutsu or can be used to confuse opponent.
2. Since I shot multiple shots using my hand, I can use my mouth to use any other Katon/Suiton technique, this is advantageous as many techs require me to exhale fire/water.
Disadvantages
1. Range is one such disadvantage, since it is mid range tech, it isn't useful in short or long range and hence I need to bring my opponent within the range using supplementary tech.
2. Another one is I can't set my opponent on fire and hence opponent may find an opening to attack me using Suiton.
Situations I would use it in:
The best way to negate the problem due to range is combining it with genjutsu or other supplementary techs just like I mentioned earlier.It is effective tech and can be used to blind my opponent using smoke screen so as to get an opening and use other tech to cause more damage. I can combine it with elemental defence techs to avoid giving an opening while using this tech and hence making it more effective.
Demonstration:
Itachi quickly manipulates his chakra and focusses his chakra on his hands so as to prepare himself to create fireballs, he then quickly creates fireballs by spreading his chakra throughout the hands, and quickly fires them towards his opponent one after the other so as to damage his opponents using explosions. 'Ah this gives me good feeling', he murmurs as he completes the technique damaging his opponent(sensei's clone).
Itachi then lies underneath the nearby tree and waits for further orders.

Method · Jan 29, 2014

Great work

2. Since I shot multiple shots using my hand, I can use my mouth to use any other Katon/Suiton technique, this is advantageous as many techs require me to exhale fire/water.

Just remember it cannot be performed at the same time as the exploding flame shots, as you are focusing your chakra on the Exploding shots jutsu. Also if your timeframe was Exploding shots, random jutsu & then Exploding shots again, then you would have to post the jutsu twice in order.

( Katon: Hiendan ) – Fire Release: Soaring Flame Bullet
Rank: B

Type: Offense, Deffence
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user exhales a stronger yet shorter version of the Fire Release: Great Fireball technique.

As noted, a similar version to "Great Fireball". For this you would gather a larger amount of chakra & release a similar version of the parent jutsu. Due to it being a stronger version it would acquire you to pay more attention to detail, controlling both the shape & overall manipulation of it. Due to focusing more on the jutsu it leaves you at a disadvantage due to the distance the ball can travel & could also create a chance for your opponent to counter, placing you at a great disadvantage. For me the best time to use this is if your opponent is in short range, preferably attempting an air assault.

( Katon: Gōenkyū ) - Fire Release: Great Blaze Ball
Rank: B

Type: Offense
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user after performing two hand seals Horse → Tiger exhales a big-sized sphere of fire that carries the enemy away and causes a massive explosion on impact. The fire ball has a given solidity property to it, being able to punch through solid obstacles without exploding.

Another similar jutsu as the previous. This differs as it holds a much more condensed form, carrying an almost solid exterior. As it makes contact with the opponent it carries them along for a moment until finally exploding, in which to the least should burn & send your opponent back a distance. This jutsu allows itself to travel through obstacles of lesser size, simply passing through it without being altered or creating an explosion along the obstacle. If you check wiki you see the image of the explosion itself. it obviously covers a very large area, but I would note it is safer to say a rough choice between short to mid range. Best used when your opponent has created some sort of a blockade between the two of your, but avoid using it on anything larger than the jutsu itself as it would simply react to the blockade & explode, rather than passing through.

( Katon: Gōenka ) - Fire Release: Great Flame Flower
Rank: B

Type: Attack
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user jumps in the air and shoots three giant bullets of fire that come down like giant meteors, then erupt into a geyser of flame.

A good jutsu but leaves you in somewhat of a vulnerable position as you release it. If your opponent manages to counter it they have a chance to attack you while your in mid air & descending toward the ground. That said it is described as releasing 3 large meteors, so it would be hard for your opponent to try counter all 3 as they cover a large area ( even though you have to keep in mind that all 3 equal a B Rank, regardless of size). As they make contact with your opponent of the ground, they erupt & combine into a large geyser of fire that should cover most of a short range. Remember the size of the geyser depends on whether all 3 balls erupt together, if your opponent manages to dispel one then the size & damage will obviously reduce. Even though it does say Short range, this would be best used only at Mid-Long range distances, as there could be a chance of you also being caught in the attack.

The Sach · Jan 29, 2014

Itachi calmly listens to his sensei, and tells his mind that he won't do the similar type of mistake again,Ya you were right sensei', he then quickly moves on to the next set of techniques.
( Katon: Hiendan ) – Fire Release: Soaring Flame Bullet
Rank: B

Type: Offense, Deffence
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user exhales a stronger yet shorter version of the Fire Release: Great Fireball technique.

Advantages
1. Biggest advantage is it's flexibility, it can be used as a defensive and offensive tech, making it very flexible technique.
2. Since it is a stronger version of Great Fireball technique, all it's advantages are applied here as well, such as use in blocking the vision etc.
Disadvantages
1. It requires more amount of chakra than conventional fire ball release as it is higher ranked jutsu.
2. It can only be used as a short range tech, unlike the lower ranked fire ball release, which can be used in mid range as well. It also leaves an opening using which opponent can counter it, or attack me.
Situations I would use it in
1. Can be used to cause higher damage to my opponent at the short range. I can first bring my opponent in short range of this tech, to harm him even more.
2. It can be used in combination with wind release to make it even more stronger.
Demonstration
Itachi quickly inhales air and mixes it up with his fire chakra, and then forms a large fireball by forming a ring using his index finger and thumb, and inhales the stronger but shorter version of flames. 'This technique will be useful', he decides to use it in various other battles in the future.
( Katon: Gōenkyū ) - Fire Release: Great Blaze Ball
Rank: B

Type: Offense
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user after performing two hand seals Horse → Tiger exhales a big-sized sphere of fire that carries the enemy away and causes a massive explosion on impact. The fire ball has a given solidity property to it, being able to punch through solid obstacles without exploding.

Advantages
1. Good in range department, useful in the long range as well, can be used in short range. It has more of a condensed form with solid exterior and hence useful technique, and hence it sends my opponent backwards.
2. It also allows itself to travel through the small objects, without being altered and hence useful when my opponent uses small objects to block my attacks.
Disadvantages
1. It can't pass through the bigger obstacles, and hence my opponent can use this weakness of this jutsu to block it.
2. Another disadvantage is it carries my enemies away and hence I have to bring my opponent in short range to harm him using kenjutsu or taijutsu.
Situations I would use it in
1. I can use it in the situations when my opponent is using obstacles between our path to block my attacks, I can also use it to send my opponent in the long range.
2. I can combine it with genjutsu techs to amplify it's effect.
Demonstration
Itachi quickly prepares himself for the next technique as he proceeds to perform handseals, Horse → Tiger and exhales a big sized sphere and sends it towards his opponent, who is his sensei's clone in this case. This sphere carries his opponent away and then causes a massive explosion on impact. Fire ball being a solid passes to the small obstacles between them as it was solid.'Huh, useful technique I must say', he then moves onto the next technique.

( Katon: Gōenka ) - Fire Release: Great Flame Flower
Rank: B

Type: Attack
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user jumps in the air and shoots three giant bullets of fire that come down like giant meteors, then erupt into a geyser of flame.

Advantages
1. A solid jutsu with nice destructive capability and doesn't require handseals making it faster to perform.
2. As I am shooting three B-Rank fireballs together even if my opponent manages to dodge two of them there is a possibility of him getting hit by the last one, as it covers large area.
Disadvantages
1. Just like you mentioned, if I use it in short-mid range my opponent will get opening and he/she may dodge my three fireballs and attack me using kenjutsu or taijutsu techs, as technique leaves me mid-air.
2. Even if my opponent isn't capable of dodging all three of them he can still reduce damage due to this attack, and hence this technique, may prove itself less useful at some times.
Situations I would use it in
1. This technique can be used as good combo with my aerial summons, as I can use them to land after jumping in the air, and hence reducing the chances of giving an opening to the opponent.
2. I can use it along with genjutsu techs to make sure that I will strike my opponent accurately, and hence maximizing it's effect.
Demonstration
Itachi quickly moves onto perform the technique, as he finished the notes.He quickly gathered enough amount of chakra in his lungs to shoot three giant B-Rank fire balls and then jumped in the air. He then quickly shoot three gigantic fireballs in his opponent's direction one after the other. Unable to deflect his fireballs, his opponent(which is clone ofc), got hit by all three of them, causing a geyser of fire which covered the short range. 'Interesting jutsu, one more addition to my arsenal'.

Great Work

( Katon: Haisekishō ) - Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning
Rank: B

Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user spews superheated ash from their mouth after performing four handseals. The ash is hot enough to cause third-degree burns on the victim. Because it's composed entirely of ash, it stays in the air around the victim like a cloud. If the user clicks his teeth, the stagnant ash will ignite, creating a violent explosion.

You start off by performing four handseals. As you do you then exhale, releasing a large amount of superheated ash which streams forward creating a cloud around your opponent(s). While you continue to release the ash from your mouth, you click your teeth together, igniting the ash which causes a blaze of fire to spread forward. As the fire rapidly reaches the cloud it causes a moderate explosion.

This jutsu is sort of a 2 in 1 for me. The ash itself is seen as a sort of "distraction", occupying the opponent as the cloud fully forms. For you to create the fire you have to remember to continuously release the stream of ash & as you click your teeth forming the fire, you then stop exhaling the ash as to not get yourself burn in the process. Another jutsu that blocks both sides vision of each other.

( Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique
Rank: B

Type: Offense/Supplementary
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user fires several large dragon-shaped fireballs at their opponent after performing one handseal. It is able to alter localized weather conditions to the point of making thunder clouds when shot into the air, enabling the user to perform Kirin.

While kneading your fire chakra you perform a single handseal. Doing so you exhale, releasing several blazes of fire which you manipulate to take on the shape of dragon heads. Each dragon you release can be shot at a slightly different angle, allowing you to cover more than a single straight path.

A personal favorite. When releasing multiple fire heads, try to describe the angle at which you shoot each one, this allows you to cover a wider area but remembering the rank of each dragon is reduced. Even though the ruling has changed & you can use a majority of fire jutsu to progress Kirin (any Long range fire jutsu B rank & above I think), This is still a great choice to use while you opponent is in mid air. Even if they manage to evade the jutsu, it would leave the heads to continue to travel forward until it reaches the clouds.

The Sach · Feb 19, 2014

Thanks sensei.

You must be registered for see images

Advantages
1. It is two in one technique can be used as offensive technique+diversion technique, to cause diversion.
2. It is strong enough to cause 3rd degree burn and hence can cause a nice amount of damage to my opponent.
Disadvantage
1. One has to take care of cutting of supply of ash before creating causing the ignition.
2. Range may play a vital role as this technique can be used against short/mid range opponents only.
Situations I would use it in
1. Can be used when I need both diversion and need to attack my opponent, since it is 2 in 1 technique it saves my one turn and causes needed amount of damage.
2. Can be combined with wind technique, as after clicking my teeth together, my mouth can use wind release to expel wind making the fire burn stronger.
Demonstration
Without wasting a moment Itachi quickly performs the four required handseals and exhales a super heated ash which covers his opponent, his sensei's clone, which is enveloped around him. After covering his opponent with ash, Itachi then cuts off supply of ash, clicks his teeth, producing the spark, and hence ignites the ash producing the blaze of fire which he sends towards his opponent, this results in third degree fire, making your clone puff.'Yay, I did it', Itachi smiles in joy, as next challenge awaits for him. xd

Advantages
1. Can be used as offensive technique to harm opponent, or as a supplementary tech for Karin, serves dual purpose.
2. I can manipulate angles of dragon heads as per my requirement, and hence can clear large area as well as focus on small area based upon my requirement, again range is key advantage.
Disadvantage
1. Doesn't have many disadvantages, but sometimes sending blazes in different directions especially directions at which opponent can dodge,can be considered as the waste of chakra.
2. One handseal is also a negative aspect, as user with sharingan can see through it.
Situations I would use it in
1. Excellent technique to use for preparation of Kirin, serves dual purpose of offense and supplementary tech.
2. Can be used if your opponent is fast enough to cover certain range, I can change angle of my attack so as to cover his range of movements before exhaling flames.
Demonstration
Itachi first performs the required handseal quickly and then moves onto the production of dragon head. He first exhales fire and sends one dragon head in straight line, then changes the angle to 45 degrees both clockwise and anti-clockwise and sends a set of Dargon-head in each direction. He restricts the movement of his opponent, before targeting his opponent, and sending final dragon-head to finish things off.
'Now I know why it is your favorite technique, sensei' Itachi grins as he understands his sensei's tactical approach.

Also remember, if used against you, there is always the possibility of performing a fire jutsu as the ash travels toward you (if timeframe causes no issue of course). This creates a chance of the jutsu backfiring on the opponent

( Katon: Hōsenka Tsumabeni ) - Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson
Rank: B

Type: Offensive
Range: short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user unleashes a volley of shuriken with one hand, while at the same time exhaling fire-infused chakra onto them in order to increase the weapons' destructive potential by making them capable of inflicting severe burns upon direct contact with either the intended victim or any other object caught within their trajectories. Due to the chakra-based nature of the flames that surround them, the shuriken will continue to burn after impact, regardless of the flammability of the object that they ultimately collide with.

As your retrieve your shuriken you begin to knead your fire chakra within. As you hurl them toward your target, you exhale, releasing your chakra which creates flames around the shuriken as they travel forward.

This is best used on shuriken that are kept close as they travel forward. Not much to be said about the jutsu as the description does just that. These sort of jutsu are best used while your opponent is occupied, creating more of an opportunity to successfully strike them. Rememeber the more shuriken you throw, the more fire chakra you split apart, "de-ranking" each Shuriken as you do so.

( Katon: Onidōrō ) - Fire Release: Demon Lantern
Rank: B

Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: After performing the Tiger hand seal the user will manipulate their chakra releasing it into the atmosphere around him to create several ghost-like flames resembling heads with horns and yellow eyes that then attack the target/s in a swarm.

Kneading your chakra you must perform a single handseal. Manipulate your chakra having it spread around your surrounding area, while shaping into heads with horns attached. As they fully form you willfully send them forward toward their target as they attack in a large swarm. Really this follows the same process as the above jutsu, just without the shuriken. Best used to try & confuse your opponent & keep them busy as you perform your next action.

The Sach · Mar 16, 2014

Ah that was a nice tip, thanks sensei.^_^

Advantages
1. Burning of shuriken doesn't depend upon the flammability of the object, they come in contact with and hence technique is pretty much useful one.
2. It covers short as well as mid range, has good aggressive capabilities, has good damage points and hence overall a powerful technique.
Disadvantage
1. Useless at long range.
2. I can't use many shurikens as more amount of fire chakra I use, shurikens will get de-ranked.
Situations I would use it in
1. Just like you said I can use it on my opponent when he is busy, I can find an opening and attack him at that point of time.
2. I can also use it as a starting move of my battle, since I throw many shuriken it is difficult to avoid for opponent with low speed and not so good reflexes.
Demonstration
Itachi quickly removes his shurikens and decides to give this one a try, he then uses his left hand to infuse chakra onto them and throws them towards his opponent, which is sensei's clone in this case. This results in increasing destructive capabilities of the shurikens, which upon impact with with your clone engulfs your clone in the fire.
'That is a pretty badass technique, I must say', Itachi notes his observation.

Advantages
1. It can attack user from all direction and hence will keep my opponent busy, when I prepare for another attack.
2. Another advantage is it's range, it is long as well as short range and covers large area, and hence it is very difficult technique to escape.
Disadvantage
1. Major disadvantage is time required to gather tiger hand seal and amount of time required to knead enough amount of chakra, it takes some time unless you are gifted shinobi.
2. Another disadvantage is it's highly offensive nature, even if I can create multiple flames, it may give opening when I am creating them, resulting in opponent noting it down and attacking me.
Situations I would use it in
1. I can use it to keep my opponent busy, I can use it before performing techniques with higher amount of chakra, or before techniques which require complex handseals.
2. I can combine it with taijutsu moves, flames created will attack opponent from all sides, when I will use an opening an attack opponent using kenjutsu or taijutsu moves.
Demonstration
Itachi quickly waves tiger hand seal and moves onto gathering his chakra. He then quickly creates four-five ghost-like flames resembling heads with horns and yellow eyes, which actually are a bit of a scary.

He then covers are around his opponent and quickly attacks his opponent from all direction, engulfing his opponent into flames. 'Haha, Nice badass technique', Itachi remarks before asking an important question.
"Sensei, I want to know about this statement of yours,"

Remember the more shuriken you throw, the more fire chakra you split apart, "de-ranking" each Shuriken as you do so.

"What do you meant by de-ranking of shuriken there?"O_O

Souji · May 1, 2014

(My training will be a little different. I focus more on the RP, and I won't really have a specific format. I just want you to play along, and I hope you enjoy

walked up to replace the old teacher that Itachi had. She adjusted her hairband and presented herself to Itachi. She was a pretty girl with great features, and wearing a white blouse as well as a black skirt; her civilian outfit. She noticed that Itachi asked a question. But introductions were needed. She spoke in a clipped, efficient voice, that was deliberate yet gentle.

"Hello, Itachi-san. I will be your new teacher. I see your previous senpai has taught you plenty of techniques already."

"As for the question you asked, he means that the more shuriken you set on fire, the weaker each individual flaming shuriken becomes. Quality over quantity, in this case."

Aigis stood across from Itachi. She began making a few gestures that had a pattern to them, breathing in, and breathing out.

"For your next technique, I want you to gather plenty of chakra in your chest. When you feel you're about to burst, release a flame projectile aimed at my feet, but at the ground between us. If you do it right, you will create a large pillar of flames."

"Then, once you are done with that, I want you to tell me an advantage of this technique, a disadvantage, and a creative use of this technique. Also, please ask questions."

"Are we clear?"

Aigis waited to see what her student would do. She was excited, herself.

( Katon: Honoo no Hashira Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Flame Pillar Technique
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user will manipulate their chakra into their chest and then they will release from their mouth a quick burst of flame towards their opponents feet which then errupts into a large pillar of flame reaching 3 meters tall and inflicting damage to the target.

The Sach · May 7, 2014

Wow, new teacher huh? And that too pretty, powerful girl. I must admit this training is going to be fun. Anyways nice to meet you Algis-san. Let's have fun together.

Itachi excited now observes the various hand seals made by Algis carefully and then decides to show her that he can do it in no time.

Itachi quickly takes a long breath and then gathers chairs in his chest. Then once he is full, he releaeses all the chairs in the form of fire jutsu directed towards the feet of his sensei, ending up creating the pillars of flames.
Not bad for a first technique.
Advantage:
Can be used at short as well as mid range, and hence useful technique to attack my opponent when I get proper opening.
Disadvantage:
Pillars can only be used for offensive purpose and hence no defensive value at all.
Creative usage:
It can be used in combination with wind technique to Cause further damage and making my Pillar attack more dimensional.
So what next Algis sensei?, Itachi waits.^_^

Souji · May 7, 2014

The flames in between Itachi and Aigis burned high and hot. Not bad for an Uchiha; after all, fire was indeed their specialty. Once the flames dissipated, Aigis listened to Itachi's explanations.

"Hm. Simple but effective analysis. I'll provide a few of my own insights as well."

"This jutsu allows you to bring your opponent up into the air by trapping them in the pillar. In a battle, having no solid footing or a plan to dodge in midair is fatal. That is the paramount advantage of this technique."

"For disadvantages, I suppose you are right, but don't think an offensive jutsu can't be used defensively. For example, if my opponent were to prepare a wind attack, I could seize that moment to perform the flaming pillar between us, and because fire is strong against wind, my opponent's wind attack would get overwhelmed by the flames, burning them. Sometimes, the best defense is a good offense. At least... that's how I think the phrase goes." she smiled, rubbing the back of her head sheepishly. Hopefully that explanation was good enough, she thought.

"For our next jutsu, please perform the hand seals Monkey → Bird → Dog → Ram, and channel Fire chakra throughout your whole body. flames should form around your body, which you can then control with your chakra, allowing it to spiral towards a particular target, or otherwise, expand and engulf the battle arena in a tornado of flames. This jutsu seems very versatile, so please try BOTH types; the spiral attack on a single target, and the expanding tornado, on those targets over there."

"After that, give me your analysis."

Aigis pointed to three training dummies in the distance.

( Katon: Kaen Senpū ) - Fire Release: Flame Whirlwind
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: After performing the required four handseals Monkey → Bird → Dog → Ram, fire erupts around the user's body and then launches towards the target in a spiraling-manner or expands engulfing the surrounding area in a tornado of flames. Anything nearby is incinerated as the flames erupt upwards.

The Sach · May 8, 2014

Wow, that was good explaination, sensei.
Itachi first thought that this girl is only OP beast, but felt that he was wrong after realizing that this girl is smart one too.

Itachi thinks that this training is going to be interesting one and he is going to learn a lot. Itachi then with excitement moves to next jutsu,

Ok, I will try it both ways
Itachi first performs the required four handseals in sequence(Monkey → Bird → Dog → Ram), and then channels the fire chakra throughout his body. He then controls the flames around his body and shape manipulates then in the form of spiral manner and then channels them towards the nearby dummy directed by his sensei beforehand.
Itachi who now used up all of his channeled chakra now again performs the seals and again channels chakra throughout his body. This time although, he shape manipulates it in the form of tornado of flames to burn the wooden dummies present at the mid range around him.
Advantage:
Versatility of this technique. I can use it in the form of focused attack as well as use it in the form of tornado of flames to cover larger area and hence attack bunshins too.
Disadvantage:
Requirement of handseals, and hence I need some supplementary technique to cover up that weakness.
Creative usage
I can use it as a good defensive technique against Taijutsu expert. Since most of taijutsu techs are short range techns, I can use tornado to not allow him in short range, just like you said good offensive move can also be used for defensive purpose.
Itachi smiles as he waits for Algis sensei to respond.

Souji · May 10, 2014

"Good. As for supplementary technique you mentioned in your analysis, a good one that's used quite often is to create a Shadow Clone or some sort of elemental clone to perform the hand seals and the technique for you. This presents many advantages: the clone performs the technique for you, which frees you up to do your own thing, and the extra person adds plenty more strategies. Truly a useful jutsu when used by an expert."

"Now, this next technique requires you performs a sequence of five hand seals, Tiger → Horse → Rat → Dog → Tiger, and you'll spit out fire that surrounds the enemy. Then, I want you to apply shape manipulation to transform those flames into a spider, that will engulf and attack your enemy."

Aigis created a Shadow Clone.

"I'm not the biggest fan of spiders, so please use my clone as practice..." She laughed nervously.

"Hey! I'm you too, don't we both hate spiders?!" The clone retorted.

( Katon: Benijigumo ) - Fire Release: Crimson Earth Spider
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: After performing five handseals Tiger → Horse → Rat → Dog → Tiger , the user spews out fire that both surrounds the enemy and then transforms into a spider that attacks the enemy. This technique effectively traps and attacks an opponent at the same time, and can be used to force them into another attack.

So scared of spiders huh.

Don't worry it won't be that much of scary or sticky.
Here we go,

Itachi first performs the sequence of handseals(Tiger → Horse → Rat → Dog → Tiger), and then spews out fire that surrounds his sensei's clone, I know you are feeling scary, but I will do it quickly.

He using his shape manipulation, reshapes the flame in the form of spider, so as to trap and attack the opponent at the same time and hence making the clone disappear.
Advantage:
The biggest advantage is it can trap and attack the enemy at the same time, and hence it is not only possible to attack enemy effectively, but also to block his movements, which doesn't give him enough amount of time to perform seals or to think about a counter.
Disadvantage:
Requires me to perform handseals and hence I have to use another supplementary move to keep my opponent busy for a moment.
Creative Usage:
It can be used to trap the opponent and hence can be used along with very destructive techniques, such as Doton techs, which require enemy to be at a particular place. I can simply drag my opponent there, to take him out using next technique.^^
Itachi feels really refreshing as a wave of air passes through his hair, 'Ah it feels so awesome when you are training Katon and you have such a nice atmosphere around'.

The clone poofed away, her experience transferring to the original. Aigis shuddered ever so slightly, attempting not to look fazed.

"The spider can move an attack on its own, although you can also control it directly by focusing on it. It's a lot faster when you directly control it, but you cannot perform another technique while doing so. Keep that in mind."

"Our next jutsu is perhaps the simplest of the fire techniques, description wise. Manipulate fire chakra and breath out a stream of fire. Remember that you will need to maintain your focus on this technique while doing it."

"Just because a technique is simple, doesn't mean it can't be used in innovative ways. Go!"

She waved her hand at the dummies for Itachi to test the technique on.

( Katon: Hi no Iki ) - Fire Release: Fire Breath
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user breathes a powerful stream of fire from their mouth at their target.

The Sach · May 14, 2014

Looks like a simple one to me, I will finish it in no time.

Itachi quickly hold his breath and focusses his eyes on the dummy in front of him.
He then breaths out powerful stream of fire from his mouth to the target, burning the dummy in the process.Simple to perform but still useful, Itachi concluded.
Advantage:
It's advantage is it's simplicity. I can use it almost at any time without thinking about hand seals.
Disadvantage
It uses my breath as an element of attack and hence range is limited to short-mid, practically useless in long range combats. Also it is to difficult to combine it with other techniques.
Creative usage
Even though it is pretty much simple technique, I can use it as a small and limited range fire attack, such as to melt the rocks. Can be combined with taijutsu moves as it is quick to perform and easy to execute. u.u

Souji · May 15, 2014

(It's a simpler jutsu so I won't require as much of an in-depth analysis xD)

"When you said, 'Can be combined with taijutsu moves as it is quick to perform and easy to execute.', that will not work. Remember, you must see HOW the jutsu is performed. Because it is a stream, you must keep your focus on it in order for the jutsu to keep on 'firing'. This is not a projectile which you can just shoot once and forget about it. If you try combining taijutsu with it, your focus on the flaming technique will stop, and the stream will stop as well."

"Remember to ask questions if you have any. I cannot emphasize this enough. And from now on, please also try and provide a counter. Basically, what would you do if an opponent used this against you?"

"Our next technique has you gathering chakra in your forearm. It can be either arm, but I like using my dominant hand. Once you've gathered enough fire chakra, swing your arm and release the fire chakra from your chakra points. This will create a line of flames that spread out in an arc in front of you. The flames will then rise up and erupt, forming a defensive wall. This jutsu has offensive and defensive uses; be sure to try and list what you think they are."

"Create a wall between us, if you please, Itachi-san."

( Katon: Honoo no Heki ) Fire Release: Flame Wall
Rank: B
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user kneads fire chakra into their forearm and then by swinging their arm in a wave motion they release the fire chakra creating a line of fire that spreads out in front of the user acting as a defensive wall.

The Sach · May 22, 2014

Wow, interesting point. How exactly I missed out that point, Itachi exclaims and feels that there is still a long way to go for him. :shy:

There are many things that I can learn from you, Algis-san. I will remember your tips.*_*
Itachi now decides to put a more thought, as he goes for next technique.

He first kneads his fire chakra in his forearm of right hand. He then swings his arm in front of him, releasing chakra from his chakra from his chakra points, forming an arc of flames which then spreads and erupts forming a wall in between him and his sensei.
Advantages:
1. It can be used for defensive and offensive purpose, and hence it is versatile jutsu. I can use wall to crush my opponent by directing it towards him or can form a simple wall of flame in front of me to counter his jutsus.
2. It is rather quick technique, doesn't require handseals, and will be really useful if I am in short range, and doesn't have time to form complex handseals.
Disadvantages:
Range and area covered by wall is disadvantage here. Sometimes long range suiton techniques are preferable over short range fire wall.
Creative usage
Best way is using it as a surprise element when your opponent is taijutsu master. I can cause in my fear in my opponent's mind by using flame wall as surprise defensive element, and harming him instead. In the meantime I can use the time to form complex handseals for other aggressive techniques, to finish him off.
Counter
Use of suiton techniques,at the exact moment, when your opponent is swinging his arm to form arc is the effective counter to this technique.
I have one about this technique sensei, how will this technique react against wind jutsus when used defensively.?O_O

Souji · May 26, 2014

"This flaming wall can defend from up to A-rank Wind techniques, making it very useful in those types of situations. To answer your question, if a wind technique from your opponent were to hit this jutsu, it would be blocked due to the extreme heat of the flaming wall. If it's a frontal attack, the wall will stop it completely. However, if the wind technique is S-ranked or above, beware, as it will simply pierce through the defense, forming a wind and fire combination that can turn against you."

Aigis unsheathed a sword and tossed it to Itachi, who catches it. She smirked. His reactions were good; he caught it by the handle. It was a simple katana; nothing special, but nevertheless reliable.

"Nice reflexes. Now, I want you to attack the clone I'm going to make with that sword. Be as detailed as you can. That should open up your enemy to a follow-up attack, which is exactly what the next jutsu does. Once you've slashed them up good enough, jump up in the air and mold your fire chakra, causing a fireball to rain down on them, finishing them off!"

Poof. Aigis created a Shadow Clone of herself for Itachi to try the technique on.

( Katon: Hinotama no Mai ) - Fire Release: Fireball Dance
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user will attack the opponent with a series of slashes with their sword and then finish up with jumping into the air above the target and releasing a powerful fireball down upon them.
Note: Requires a Sword.

"Once you've completed that jutsu, you'll form the Tiger hand seal and manipulate fire chakra in your mouth. By shooting a stream of fire at your opponent's feet, this stream will erupt in a column of flames, which will push up your enemy in the air and incinerate them."

"For this technique, perform it in a combination with another jutsu of your choice. I want to see how well you can string jutsus together."

Poof. Another Shadow Clone.

( Katon: Yūgana Honoo ) - Fire Release: Graceful Flame
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user manipulates their fire chakra and doing the tiger hand seal, shoots an intense fire stream at the opponents feet which then lifts them into the air in the eruption of a column of intense flames. Sasori can replicate this technique through the usage of his fire launcher.

"These are the last of the B-rank techniques, so keep that in mind, and keep up the good work."

Slowly but surely, Aigis could see her student growing in strength. It felt almost nostalgic, in a sense; it reminded her of when she was performing these very techniques under the tutelage of other senseis.

The Sach · May 31, 2014

Itachi catches the katana thrown at him. I had one but thanks anyways. Maybe this Katana has your will attached to it.xD
Let's get to work.U_U

Let's go for it.
Itachi first takes his kenjutsu stance by keeping his left leg in front of him and pivoting his weight on it. He then quickly runs towards Algis clone jump into the air, and attacks her clone by delivering some powerful slashes. 'I don't like to harm pretty girls, but oh well'.:rolleyes
He then jumps into the air and throws a fireball towards the clone to make the clone go puff.
Advantages
The move itself is a combination of a kenjutsu and Katon and hence doubles my chances to attack my opponent. So even if opponent was able to successfully defend himself from my Kenjutsu move, I can follow it up using my Katon move.
Disadvantages
1. It needs sword and hence can be used only if you carry one(not big disadvantage for me though, since I already have it).
2. Range can be bit of an iffy especially if my opponent is good at dodging short range kenjutsu moves and his OP at short range water jutsus.
Creative Usage
Best way to use it is combining with creative kenjutsu moves, I can deliver different types of slashes to attack my opponent at vital points. I can show varieties in 'that move' to make my jutsu more difficult to predict.U_U
Counter
It is really difficult to avoid and hence best way is to block the kenjutsu attack as well as fireball attack. I can use doton defense or sword to block the kenjutsu attack, or can use water defenses to defend myself from Katon move.
So moving on to next technique

Itachi starts off with manipulating his fire chakra and then waves the tiger hand seal. Then he quickly fires an intense fire stream at the opponents feet. This sudden impact makes the opponent erupt due to the impact of the intense flames.
Not bad maybe this technique is helpful in sending my opponent in the air.

Itachi then moves to the toughest part, paperwork.Zzz
Advantage
Since I am shooting fire jutsu at the feet of my opponent, it's impact is pretty large and lifts my opponent in the air, and hence I can attack my opponent using taijutsu or other different types of moves as he is more susceptible to attack.
Disadvantage
Need of handseal and the fact that it is only short range jutsu. Although it requires only one handseal and hence not that much time consuming.U_U
Creative Usage
It can be used as a nice combo with in-air taijutsu techniques, that is technique which needs your opponent to be in the air. This technique can damage my opponent as well as send them in favorable position for my next attack.
Counter
Best way to counter it is not allowing your opponent to target your feet and attacking him when he is performing that tiger seal.
Question
Second technique is only useful when my opponent is on ground right?

Itachi observes his sensei going into a bit of trance, as he finishes B-Rank. Ya I am getting strong and I can feel it, we all pass down our knowledge to the new generation that's how life works.

Maybe I will become someone's sensei someday and will teach them same set of jutsus.

[Fire] Method senpai teaches me 'method' of Fire Release..
