Describe how to do it: The user starts by weaving the Tiger seal. It allows the user to gather an immense amount of chakra and convert it into a Fire Nature. They then compress the chakra in their stomach and subsequently make it denser, hotter and more intense in general. Once the chakra is prepared, the user begins to breathe the chakra out of their mouths and mold it into a dragon head shaped Fireball. This is then released as it travels at the enemy at a relatively high speed, and thanks to the intensity of the flames, it may cause the enemy to be incinerated, or at least be the victim of severe burns. This technique was shown to be hot enough to cause a rise in air pressure and result in a localized lightning storm, and is a signature technique in the preparation of Kirin.
How many hand seals does it have: 1. Tiger.
Advantages: The size of the Fireball(s) is extremely large, making them difficult to dodge, counter or block. Couple that with the intensity of the flames and the fact the technique has a diverse effect on the environment, that makes this technique a very cool one. It can also reach long range, making this technique well rounded and well worth the time it takes to perform.
Disadvantages: The preparation time is rather substantial. Sasuke had to trick Itachi using the Oral Rebirth to acquire the time to prepare for the technique. But there are many techniques that can grant the user the time it takes to use this, so it isn't that bad a trade off for it's destructive power and multiple uses.
Combos and possible uses: Kirin. Kirin. Kirin. Kirin. Kirin. Kirin. All work and no play makes me a dumb boy. Kirin. Kirin. Uhh... I can see myself use this to finish the enemy after striking them into the ground with Kenjutsu or Taijutsu, but that isn't as good as using it to alter the weather for Kirin. I know, this is kind of on the lazy side, but it's all I can think of at present... Sorry.
How to defend against it: The user has to counter/ cancel it out with Water. This technique was shown to be able to blast straight through the roof of the Uchiha Hideout, meaning defending using Earth Style could be a little bit controversial. Completely cancelling it/ them with Water is the best way to ensure no problems arise. They would have to be of similar rank and size to effectively cancel it out.

Describe how to do it: The user starts by performing the seals Rat → Tiger → Dog → Ox → Rabbit → Tiger → Monkey, and gathers chakra in their stomach. They then draw a handful of shuriken and throw them towards the enemy. As they do this, they will channel the chakra in their stomach and change it's nature to Fire, and as they do, they will breath or blow a stream of flame onto the shuriken, enhancing them, allowing them to burn through flesh and cause severe burns. This process is fairly quick, except for the handseals.
How many hand seals does it have: 7, Rat → Tiger → Dog → Ox → Rabbit → Tiger → Monkey.
Advantages: It's fairy quick and releases several chakra enhanced shuriken towards the enemy. The heat from the shuriken can burn through skin and burn through most wind Techniques. It's Mid Range allows the user to remain a safe distance from the enemy, without being far enough that the enemy has much time to counter it. Even if the flames are negated with Water Release, the Shuriken will still continue towards the enemy, unless the move specifically stops the Shuriken.
Disadvantages: If the enemy uses a Wind Technique that is stronger, they can redirect the flames toward the user, causing their jutsu to turn on them. The tools themselves can be somewhat easily blocked with other chakra enhanced tools of similar rank or that have a Water affinity.
Combos and possible uses: Since the tools are said to still burn after digging into any surface, using techniques like Burning Ash or Misty Blaze may catch the enemy off guard, since they may not expect the tools to continue to burn.
How to defend against it: Using Water Enhanced tools to block them or an Earth Style Defense will stop the technique in it's tracks. Using a Wind Technique to overpower the tool can stop them, and may redirect the flames back at the enemy.

Describe how to do it: The user starts by performing the seals Dog → Horse → Tiger and begins to gather their chakra. Once they have gathered the necessary amount of chakra they heat it in their stomach until it becomes fire Style Chakra. As soon as the chakra is ready, the user releases it from all around their body and molds it in the air to create demon head shaped lanterns. These lanterns can be controlled while in the air to be fired at the enemy in hordes, each creating a blazing flame upon contact with the enemy. I'm certain this has been toned down in the RP, but the basic principle remains the same. The Lanterns are controlled and can be fired at the opponent.
How many hand seals does it have: 3, Dog → Horse → Tiger.
Advantages: It makes many Lanterns that burn upon contact, meaning they can make an excellent defense against a Taijutsu user. This is because they have to get close, but if the user surrounds themselves with the lanterns, the enemy won't be able to get at them. And if they do, they will most likely burn themselves while the user is free to surround them with the lanterns, essentially burning them to a fine crisp. The number of lanterns also makes this a decent counter to multiple projectile attacks, since this technique has so many lanterns.
Disadvantages: I don't see any... It only requires 3 seals and basic manipulation and molding, so it's presumably very quick, it creates multiple objects that work in both offensive and defensive manners and it can even reach long range. I think this is a very well balanced technique with almost no proper flaw in it's use... Then again I could be wrong on the number of Lanterns or the speed of the technique, but it's doesn't affect my view of the Jutsu very much. I really like this jutsu... :|
Combos and possible uses:
I already mentioned how it can be used defensively to repel or damage a Taijutsu user. It can also be used in conjunction with Wind Techniques to increase their effective size and damage. The user can also combine this with the 2 aforementioned Flammable techniques to create a colossal explosion.
How to defend against it: The user has to create a large defensive type Water Jutsu to counter the sheer size and heat of the Fire Lanterns. If they try and match the number of Lanterns, they could be overwhelmed. They could also use a large Water attack, like a tidal wave, to douse them and defend at the same time. Other than that, the Lanterns burst and release their energy upon impact, so using Earth techniques to blow them up is another idea, but they would have to be quick. Hiding in the ground or removing yourself from the enemies line of sight in other ways is another smart idea. Finally, since they create the flame upon impact, but don't have much momentum beyond flying at the user, they user may be able to harden their skin to lessen, if not ignore the damage completely.

Questions?: None.
Describe how to do it: This technique is very basic, so the description is very short. Essentially the user molds chakra in their stomach, and once they have enough, they change the nature to Fire. From there, the user breathes it out in a stream at the enemies feet. This stream begins to pool on the ground, before erupting upwards, possibly sending the enemy upwards. This process is very quick due to the fact it';s simple manipulation. No handseals or anything complex.
How many hand seals does it have: Presumably none. If it's the combo from Storm 3, it's basic Chakra manipulation.
Advantages: It's very quick, so it can potentially catch an enemy off guard, as well as send them into the air. The jutsu has no other outstanding traits to me. It does reach Mid Range though, so it can be useful in more situations than I expected. (I thought it was Short Range)
Disadvantages: It's simple nature means it's simple to counter, like dousing the flame with Water or erecting a pillar of Earth to defend from the flame, or remove yourself from the area of the flame.
Combos and possible uses: Enhancing the flames with Wind will cause the Jutsu to reach further. It can possibly extend the range it covers over the ground and by proxy the amount of flames that erupt the enemy into the air. This is probably best used with Taijutsu and Kenjutsu, since they will put the user closer to the enemy, giving them less time to react.
How to defend against it: It's simple manipulation so dousing it with water quickly would be the best approach. But, the user could also manipulate the Earth to create a pillar and escape backwards. All in all, because this is such a simple technique, simple counters are fitting for it.
Image of the technique: Couldn't find any. If it's what I think it is, then I have a mental image of the technique already.
Questions?: I couldn't find this technique on any website. My question is this, is this Tobi's up combo from Naruto Storm 3? The one where he shoots Fire from his mouth and enhances it with his Gunbai? It's just so I have something to reference when using it.
I hope these were good enough Sensei. (They certainly took me long enough) XD
