[Katon] Fire Style with Sharindork

[Leathercandle]

**Rin arrives at the training grounds with a big smile on his face as he turns his head to the sky and throws his arms up into the air saying:**

"I'm so excited!!!" Yelled Rin excitedly.

**(Thanks so much for accepting me)**

 

[Sharingdork]

Dropping from the sky as one of his Condors circled over head, Mystogan stood up from his down-on-one-knee landing and looked at the man he was to teach.
Hmm... Well, if we are to begin with the study of Fire Nature, allow us to start with the basics. Theory. Please explain to me what fire is, how fire reacts with the world around it, anything you associate fire with, and how you believe you would convert your normal chakra into that of Katon.

 

[Leathercandle]

Okay! Fire is one of the five natures of chakra, and is arguably the most destructive among them as fire can burn through many things. Fire's weakness is water which is a given, while it is strong against wind. The tiger hand seal is used in many of the fire release techniques. To create fire style chakra, one must gather their chakra in their lungs and superheat it, then release it from the body (commonly from the mouth). Fire style is primarily used as an offensive nature, while things like earth style are more primarily defense oriented. Lets see… Oh- the strongest known fire release jutsu is Amaterasu. There we go! How was that Sensei? Rin said with a big smile.

 

[Sharingdork]

That was a... Fair analysis. Now we shall begin with the stepping-stones to the practical. So, first, I shall turn up the heat.
Forming the tiger handseal, Mystogan manifested a great number of demon lanterns formed from fire around his student, heating up the area and creating the intense, flickering light and heat fire is known for all around him.

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.

Now, begin to mold your chakra. Mold and focus it. As you mold your chakra, imagine the fire; feel it, and imagine what it makes you feel. There is no right and wrong answer to this. Imagine, how that image you have would look like molding with your chakra. Sometimes, even your mind's eye can't see this, but continue to focus regardless. Continue to focus on the flame, how the flame makes you feel, and on your chakra. After a while, we shall see how your Katon chakra has come along.

 

[Leathercandle]

Okay, sounds good! Rin said as he closed his eyes and sat on the grass. Rin started to concentrate on the heat around him, and then attempted to mimic it, starting in his lungs. He started to feel warm inside, like a dim candle was burning somewhere in his body, slowly getting bigger. Its supposed to feel hot inside, right Sensei? Rin said now concentrating on making the heat inside of him grow.

 

[Sharingdork]

It is...
Extinguishing the lanterns one by one, when the final flame had died Mystogan began to talk again.
Now, it is time to begin the first technique. Focus on your chakra, this warm Katon chakra that you've discovered, and focus it in your lungs. Inhale, and then move the chakra with the air to your mouth. As you exhale, allow your chakra to explode into flames as it wants to, creating a small fireball before you in your breath.

 

[Leathercandle]

Sounds good…. Inhale….Move it to my mouth……EXHALE!!

Fire spewed from my mouth directed at the ground, and the heat inside me started to cool. I wipe my mouth and stretch my arm.

That was awesome! Fire style is really cool!

 

[Sharingdork]

Now, to the best of your ability, I would like for you to describe for me how you would use that fireball in battle, and what might you do if someone used it against you, just to make sure that you understand the technique.

 

[Leathercandle]

Okay! If I were to use it against someone, I would probably engage them in close quarters combat with my sword or something like that. Next I would gather the chakra needed for this technique in my lungs and spew it at the opponents chest/head while we locked swords or something. I show you my sword as I refer to it.

Now, if someone were to use it against me I would naturally counter it with water style, but you probably don't want me to bring in another element for fire-style training. If I were to not use water style as a counter I would keep my distance to prevent the fire from reaching me or I would some sort of smoke then explosive kunai combo attack.

 

[Sharingdork]

Hm... Your analysis of techniques is actually above where I thought it would be. Very good job; continue to keep up the good work.

( Katon: Komakai Kaki ) - Fire Release: Small Fire
Rank: D
Type: Offense
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: The user spews a small fireball.

The next technique you will learn is very similar in use. First, you will inhale and mix your katon chakra with the air in your lungs, like before, and then move it to your mouth. However, when the chakra is in your mouth, I need you to separate the chakra into multiple small segments of katon chakra which, when you exhale, will all ignite individually to create a multitude of fireballs. And, just like you just did, I would like for you to describe for me how you would use it in battle and what drawbacks it may have... As specific to this technique as you can come up with, as opposed to generic statements that could apply to any number of techniques. But I trust you to do as well as you can.

 

[Leathercandle]

Sounds good! I say as a big smile forms on my lips.

Inhale… mold chakra… move to my mouth… separate… IGNITE! I think as I go through the steps of this technique.

I spew three small fire balls to my right, surprised how easily I was able to preform the jutsu.

This is awesome! Oh right - if I were to use this in a battle I would probably use it in a barrage of attacks with no linear pattern, keeping my opponent busy with dodging. I could also create a water clone to go in for an attack as I fire these at the opponent. If this were to used against me, I could get to far range as this jutsu is short - mid range, I could use this technique agains the opponent also to cancel their attacks (generic response to this probably >_> ) or I could send in a bunch of water clones to take the hits and attack. I say this as I create a water clone to show you.

Spoiler

(Mizu Bunshin) - Water Release: Water Clone
Rank: C
Range: Short
Type: Supplementary
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After performing the Tiger hand seal the user creates a clone of themselves made of water. These water clones have 1/10th of the users chakra. These clones are also limited in that they can only travel short range from the user without losing control. When a water clone take enough damage they revert back to normal water.
Note: Can only perform up to C rank Water techniques and requires a water source.

---------------------------------------

Do you want me to do a list like this too?

Disadvantages:
1)
2)
3)

Advantages:
1)
2)
3)

 

[Sharingdork]

You don't have to do the list if you don't want to; your analysis is great. Though I'd be happier if you could be a bit more descriptive with how you're performing the techniques.

Listening to his student silently, Mystogan waited for him to be done before continuing.

(Katon: Ryu Kaen Bakufuu ) - Fire Release: Dragon Flame Blitz
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user inhales and then exhales, shooting small balls of fire at the opponent.

Alright, so this next technique is a tad difficult to comprehend. First, I want you to take out a few shuriken and just hold them in your hands. With the shuriken in your hands, focus your katon chakra through them so that each shuriken has your fire chakra within it. Then, throw each shuriken away from you. As the shuriken travel, focus on your chakra with your mind to cause the air around the weapons to ignite into flame.

 

[Leathercandle]

Sounds cool! I say as I reach into my ninja pouch for a few shuriken. I hold them in my hands, concentrating on the heat inside of me as I try and move it to the shuriken. I start to feel my superheated chakra migrate through my lungs to my shoulders, then through my arms, and then all the way to my hands. I try and force the fire chakra into the shurinken but accidentally light them.

Crap! My hands! I say as I drop the shurinken. The blue flames die down they hit the ground.

---------------
Because I am using a Rin Okuruma bio and got permission from Professor Namikaze, I can create blue flames along with the regular red/orange ones, but they can't do anything different from normal flames, they just are blue. (Just for show )
---------------

After cooling my burn with water style, I go through the exact same process except this time I channel my fire chakra into the shuriken with less force. Here goes! I say as I throw the shuriken.

Heres the hard part… focus on igniting it. I pour in the extra chakra which last time caused the shuriken to ignite. I watch as two of them become surrounded in a red flame and one of them in a blue one. I burp up a small flame due to accidentally channeling some of the superheated chakra into my mouth when I was moving it to my arms.

Not perfect, but I guess it will do. I thought.

How was that Sensei?

----------
Do I post how to use it in battle and how to counter it here too?

 

[Sharingdork]

Yes, you can post them after every technique in the same post.

---

That was good. Now for the analysis, if you will. Uses in battle, drawbacks, etc. You may mention these as soon as you perform any technique to speed up the process.

 

[Leathercandle]

Yes sir! I say as I scratch the back of my head.

This technique is good in terms of burning (along with the regular piercing of the shuriken), which is a plus because your opponent might have to react differently than just dodging/ countering normal shuriken. It can be used as a very chakra efficient way to burn up the wood style too. Oh - the opponent won't know that the shuriken are enhanced with fire until you ignite them, which can catch them off guard
--------
(I know that in the RP this isn't true because I have to post the technique, but theoretically if I were to use this technique IRL I wouldn't say what it does. Though of course I can't use this technique IRL, nor anyone.)
--------

As for disadvantages, as I mentioned before, it can burn up the wood style in a chakra efficient way, but not in a time efficient way as it is only a D-rank technique. It doesn't really take much effort to counter/avoid this technique either because its very strait forward. In a shuriken battle (like the one with Itachi and Sasuke), if say Sasuke had fire on those shuriken it wouldn't really give him too much of an advantage, if it were lightning or wind chakra it would be another case though, as that has increased cutting power… Yep, I think thats about it. I say as I spin a shuriken around my finger.

------------
Sorry for referring to the anime/ manga in the RP. It was just easier to explain that way.

 

[Sharingdork]

That was quite a fair analysis; keep it up.

(Katon: Kaen Shuriken Ranbu ) - Fire Release: Blazing Shuriken Dance
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will throw several shuriken infused with fire at the enemy and then, through a mental command, ignites them to cause extra damage.

This next technique uses the Snake, Ram, Monkey, and Tiger handseals. Then, you will build your Katon chakra in your lungs, and disperse it through the air in your lungs. Afterwards, you can exhale this flammable gas into the air. As the gas fills the air, you can ignite it with an explosive tag, or a Katon/Raiton technique, an average spark, or what have you, to turn the entire gas cloud into a fireball. I will also want an analysis with this technique, so you may as well describe it for me right away.

 

[Leathercandle]

As I listen to your directions I put the shuriken which I was spinning on my finger away and begin to gather my superheated chakra in my lungs.
Thank you! Alright… Snake, ram, monkey, tiger. I say as I form the necessary hand seals. I feel a gas start to gather in my lungs and begin to seep up my throat. I blow it out of my mouth and into a small cloud which gets progressively bigger and bigger.

That should probably do it… Now for the igniting. I pull out the shuriken I was messing about with earlier and focus my katon chakra into it as I throw it into the cloud of gas, igniting it once it was consumed in it.

The sudden appearance of the huge fire caused a sudden burst of heat which warmed my skin.

AWESOME! I say as I breathe a fire ball into the sky which explodes like a firework.

Now for how I would use it in battle. I would take advantage of the fact that it is a gas and spread it around my opponent, soon afterwards I would light it with a match or some sort of fire, burning them quickly. As for how to defend against it, if I get caught in the gas… RUN @_@. Because I can't defend with a water technique that easily considering it starts as a gas, so some sort of wind style technique would work the best (only before it is on fire.) (I don't know wind style yet though.) I say as I make little patterns in the air with the gas.

__________________

I know I can't actually just "run" from the technique in a battle if it is the first move. Can I just simply "run away" from it if it isn't the first move?


How do I know what kind of damage this does, it doesn't say on the jutsu.

 

[Sharingdork]

You can't "run" from any technique; jutsu must be defended against with jutsu. It's even harder with this jutsu as it's a gas which fills the air around you. And it does basic D-rank damage, 10 points, but only once it's ignited. However, it also burns from 360 degrees, instead of a single direction if your opponent is caught in it.

---

( Katon: Kasumi Enbu no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Mist Blaze Dance Technique
Rank: D
Type: Offense/Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After performing the necessary hand seals Snake → Ram → Monkey → Tiger, the user is able to create and blow a flammable gas from their lungs. Once it comes in contact with fire or sparks, the gas ignites into a large fireball.

So we've reached the final technique of D-rank Katon. Now, this technique has multiple different ways of being used. The first is a very simply and straight-forward method of performing Katon; inhale, build katon chakra, and exhale flames. These flames may either be formed into a small ball which flies forwards, or a continuous stream whose direction can be changed by moving your body.
The alternate usage of this technique revolves around focusing your katon chakra into your limbs, and then moving them in a punch, kick, swipe, etc. motion, your katon chakra igniting the air around your limb while keeping it from burning so as to create a powerful, burning taijutsu. When fire is produced from your limbs, it may also be used to create streams which flow forwards and follow your limbs' movement.

Now, you can perform all four ways I mentioned, as well as describe for me how you'd use it and some generic drawbacks to the technique.

 

[Leathercandle]

Here I go then! I say as I build up katon chakra in my lungs and spit out 6 fireballs at a nearby boulder. I then build up a much greater amount of katon chakra and shoot a continuous stream at my own water clone which I instructed to dodge from my attack, so I could show you that I could control the flames as he ran around me in a circle, my flames a few feet behind him. My flames eventually reached him and made him "poof".

Alright! I say as I build up more superheated chakra in my lungs. I focus the chakra into both my fists, and legs. I release the katon chakra into the air around those body parts, causing fire to ignite around them. I make a few quick punches and kicks to show you that I am in control of my flames. I next create two water clones and have them stand at mid range at opposite sides of me (behind and in front of me). I make a punching motion at the one in front of me, while leaning forward and sticking my leg out behind me to shoot fire out at both targets.

I put my hands on both of my knees as I breathe heavily.


As I just showed you, there are a bunch of ways of how to use this in battle, but if I were to defensed against all of these different ways in which this move can be used, I would use a water shield, waves, etc… There are thousands of ways to counter this jutsu. (I'm sorry the counter section isn't very detailed. Its late where I am and I'm tired >_< )

How was that, Sensei?

 

[Sharingdork]

If you're tired, just leave responding for another day. It doesn't matter to me.

Well, that was alright. We shall be moving into the C-ranks.

( Katon no Jutsu ) - Fire Release Technique
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will release a small but powerful flame of fire at their opponent from either their limbs (through movement) or exhaling it. It can produce fire balls or fire streams or simply aid in taijutsu.

So, this first technique incorporates superheated flame which doesn't travel far, or over a large distance in width, but if used in close-range of an opponent can cause heat exhaustion to such a degree that they'll collapse. The flame, while able to burn, is simply used as a tool to generate immense heat, meaning that even if you miss, so long as it's close to the opponent they'll still feel the effects. Aside from this, I don't see any other way to explain it, so please perform to the best of your ability and analyze it as you have been.
