[Katon] Fire training with Tybone

[Ryóma]

(Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu) - Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique

Analysis: This is an offensive C-Rank technique which can not go further than short range. It costs little Chakra, but causes a good amount of damage. This technique requires the use of six hand seals which are Rat → Tiger → Dog → Ox → Rabbit → Tiger. The user has to also inhale a decent amount of air in, and mould Chakra in the stomach. This Chakra is then superheated to give it properties of fire. This Chakra travels to the lungs to mix with the air before reaching the mouth. At this point, the user exhales this Chakra, and fire is released. Just before it is released, shape manipulation is used on it, to make the fire into the shape of fire balls.

When the fire balls leave the mouth of the user, the user controls the fire ball through the Chakra in the fire balls, allowing the user to aim at the target with an unpredictable movement, as the fire balls are controlled by the Chakra. These fireballs are slightly bigger than Shuriken, allowing the user to slip a Shuriken or a few into different fire balls, which will hit the target. These Shuriken in the fire are also controlled by the Chakra.

Isn't this technique one of those classified as a projectile? I thought that projectiles were out of a users control as soon as they leave the user. So can other techniques also be controlled with Chakra, or is it only this one because of all the hand seals used?

Advantage(s): The great thing about this technique is that Shuriken can be hidden within the fire balls. This means that when the target is hit, they will get burnt, as well as deal damage from the Shuriken. So it's two in one.

Another good thing is that this technique is short range. Since it is short range, the target will not have much of a reaction time to dodge it, especially with it also being controlled by Chakra. It will be extremely difficult to dodge this technique.

One more thing about this technique is that it is a very good distraction and it does not require the usage of much Chakra. Since the target will be desperately trying to dodge, the user can quickly perform another technique, and catch to the target by surprise, as this technique is mainly used as a distraction.

Disadvantage(s): A major drawback to this technique would be the amount of hand seals that need to be performed. It would be best to use this if a person specializes in Katon, as they can perform the hand seals much faster. Or, the user will have to start performing the hand seals before entering short range.

Just like how it is a good thing for it to be short range, it can also be a bad thing, as the user can not reach opponents who are at a longer distance.

Ways to counter:
1- This technique could be countered by the use of a Sharingan. Sharingan users would be able to see the unpredictable movements of the fire balls and therefore defend against it by using a water or earth technique.
2- A water or earth technique could be used. Although I am not sure if the opponent will have enough time to perform those counters?

(Katon: Honoo no Saigai Hi Kagayaku no Jutsu) - Fire Release: Flame of Disaster Fire Shine Technique

Analysis: This is also an offensive technique but it can reach up to mid range. It does not require much Chakra, but nonetheless, it causes good amounts of damage. There are no hand seals required here, so it is pretty simple and straightforward to perform. The user gathers up Chakra in the stomach, at the same time inhaling a large amount of air. They then mould the Chakra by superheating it, giving it properties of fire. This fire Chakra is then taken to the lungs where it mixes with the air, before going to the mouth, where it will be released. When the fire Chakra is leaving the mouth, it does not need much shape manipulation on it as it is just a giant flame that is released; a flame as big as the target. It will then travel to the target, and upon contact, this giant flame will wrap around the opponents body, surrounding them in fire. This will ensure that their whole body gets burnt.

Advantage(s): This technique does not require any hand seals, so it is very fast and easy to perform. I'm not sure about the speed of the flames though. Would they travel fast to the opponent?

Also, this technique wraps the targets entire body leaving them burnt, which will also not allow them to not move whilst in this technique.

Disadvantage(s): It can not reach opponents who are in long range.

Since the flame is so big, when it leaves the users mouth, it will most likely hinder their sight, allowing the opponent to perhaps make a sneak attack. Shadow clones may be used for this.

Ways to counter:
1- A water technique can be used to extinguish the flames and continue on to injure the user.
2- An earth technique could also be used to block the fire.

 

[Shady Doctor]

1) first question. Yes it's classified as a projectile technique but it is unique in the way you can control them. But this means while you control them you can't do other jutsu because you'll be controlling them. But if you just shoot them and let momentum naturally do its job, it'll be a non controlled projectile and you can do a technique as they fly at a target. Other projectile techniques can't be controlled unless it says so.

2) Yes those would be valid counters

3) average flame speeds . Though not certain elements are faster than others. Lightning > Wind > Water > Fire > Earth

A simple technique that can only be used in certain situations per the description. When in mid air you can shoot down several balls of fire to burn them.

( Katon: Rakka Sanran Kasai ) - Fire Release: Falling Fire Scatter
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user whilst in mid air will release from their mouth a series of small fire shots that rain down upon the target.


Another simple straight forward technique. You'll building up a bright (not blinding at all) ball of fire in your mouth that you'll shoot at the target to burn them.

( Katon: Kitsunebi ) - Fire Release: Fire Whisp
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user creates a small ball of bright fire from their mouth that shoots at the opponent burning on impact.

(Katon: Rakka Sanran Kasai) - Fire Release: Falling Fire Scatter

Analysis: An offensive C-Rank which can reach up to mid range and does not require much Chakra nor any hand seals. It is performed by gathering Chakra in the stomach, inhaling in air, superheating the Chakra to make it into Fire Chakra and then sending it to the lungs to mix with the air. The user must be in mid air to perform this technique. They may do this before moulding Chakra or whilst they are moulding it. Once they are ready from a height, the user releases from their mouth a series of small fire shots that attack the target.

Advantage(s): Since this technique is performed from a height, the momentum that the fire gets as it falls allows it to increase the force and the speed. This makes a deadlier attack rather than if the user had performed it whilst on the ground.

Also, since the user is in the air, they have a wider field of vision, being able to think of different positions with which to strike the target with.

This technique does not teach long range, so the user will have less time to react to it.

It also does not require the usage of much Chakra, nor does it need any hand seals to be performed, which makes execution of this technique faster and easier.

This technique would probably be able to be used on more than one target on the ground as the user has a wide range to attack in.

Disadvantage(s): The user must be in the air, so it may take some time, unless they are already in the air from a previous technique or something.

Since the user is in the air, the opponent will have an easier time to attack the user, as it would be hard to defend whilst in the air.

When the user is in the air, they will have to be falling, so the accuracy of the fire might not be too great. It would help however if there was a summon like a bird, which could keep the user in the air. Or if the user somehow used a clone to hold them up.

Ways to counter:
1- One can use a Water technique to extinguish the flames of the fire.
2- Or an Earth technique can be used to block it.

---

(Katon: Kitsunebi) - Fire Release: Fire Whisp

Analysis: This is also an offensive technique, but this time it can reach up to long range. It is also less complicated and this technique is pretty straightforward. The user moulds Fire Chakra by superheating gathered Chakra, then sending it to the lungs where it mixes with the air. Then, the user takes it to the mouth where they release it in the shape of a small ball of fire which is then aimed at the target, burning them.

Advantage(s): It can reach up to long range and does not need much Chakra usage.

It can be used mainly as a distraction, as it will not cause serious damage.

Disadvantage(s): It is not that useful to use in battle as it is just one small ball of fire, which will not be deadly.

This technique should be used wisely, in a way that the opponent will not be able to counter easily since it is just one ball and can otherwise be avoided easily.

Ways to counter:
1- Use a Water technique to diminish the attack.
2- Use an Earth technique to block it.

 

[Shady Doctor]

Perform the required hand seals Ram → Horse → Snake → Dragon → Rat → Ox → Tiger whilst gathering up your fire chakra. Afterwards swiftly let out a stream of fire that travels across the ground pretty wide (not large) and tall (not super tall) and can turn things to ash along with melting the ground it travels across.

( 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.

A quick technique and one that can prove dangerous. From your hands you can shoot multiple palm sized balls of fire that explode on impact causing damage and can set things on fire, including the opponent.

This is a bigger, stronger version of great fireball technique. This sacrifices range for power, being one rank stronger than normal yet can only reach up to 5m away

( 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.

 

[Ryóma]

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

Analysis: Finally! This is a B-Rank technique, which is offensive and can reach up to long range. It requires a little more chakra than the previous techniques, and also requires seven hand seals to be performed. It also causes a good deal of damage. This technique is done by performing the Ram → Horse → Snake → Dragon → Rat → Ox → Tiger hand seals and inhales in a large amount of air. Chakra is moulded in the lungs to form Fire chakra by superheating, and then it goes to the mouth. The user then lets out a stream of fire from their mouth, and uses shape manipulation on it to make the flames very thin. They travel along the ground very fast, and widen as they leave the mouth. They are wide and tall and so hot that they actually melt the ground, and then turn the target into ashes.

Advantage(s): This technique covers long range, and on top of that, it is super fast. This makes it a pretty awesome technique.

It is also very hot, and can melt the ground. This would be useful to melt the ground to prevent the enemy from coming close, as well as killing them in the process. It can also be used if the opponent is standing on water, as it will heat it up greatly, and water absorbs heat very well.

Also, with this technique, the opponent would not be able to escape into the ground as the ground is also melted.

Overall, it is a very strong destructive technique. By the way, can this technique, along with all other fire techniques be used in conjunction with wind to make them stronger? Or could a wind Jutsu be used straight after a fire one for more effects?

Disadvantage(s): One major drawback with this technique are the amount of hand seals required, it will obviously take a bit of time to perform seven hand seals, giving the opponent time to react. Other than this, I think it is a great technique and can not think of any other disadvantages.

Ways to counter:
1- A powerful water technique would need it be used to match this.
2- An earth technique may also be used, but of a higher rank.

---

(Bakuhatsu Enhogan) – Exploding Flame Shots

Analysis: As an offensive technique which again can reach up to long range, it causes quite some damage. It requires no hand seals, and is performed by kneading fire chakra in the hand. Once the chakra is released into the palm of the hand, it is condensed into balls of fire which are then aimed at the target. These balls of fire however, do not burn the target. Instead, they explode upon contact of the target, damaging them.

Advantage(s): It is performed very fast, and can reach up to mid range. If it was only short range, then the explosion could also affect the user. But since it is mid range, it won't.

This is used as an attack, so it is also pretty powerful.

Disadvantage(s): It can backfire on the user if used in short range. Hmm, I can't really think of any other disadvantage for this one.

Ways to counter:
1- One could move closer to the target, and then use a powerful earth shield around themselves, so that the user will end up getting the force of the explosion.
2- A water technique can be used to extinguish the flames.

---

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

Analysis: This technique can only reach up to short range, and it is used as both offense and defense. It is just a bigger and stronger version of the great fireball technique. It is exhaled as a fireball, which moves very fast and causes a good deal of damage.

Advantage(s): It is quite fast and powerful. Does not require any hand seals.

It can only reach short range, so the target will have less time to respond.

Also since it is short range, it can be used against Taijutsu users, as they need to be close.

Disadvantage(s): Can not be used in long range, so would be difficult with an opponent who specializes in long range fighting or is very quick to get away.

Ways to counter:
1- A water technique can be used.
2- An earth technique can also be used.

 

[Shady Doctor]

You can use fire and wind back to back (preferably wind second since it's faster) to make enhanced flames, but officially it won't be boosted. Like no extra damage would be added. Unless you do like a B-rank fire followed by a b-rank wind to combine with it, it'll make an A-rank wind/fire combo since B-rank + B-rank = A-rank

---

Ok this jutsu contradicts the hell of itself. "Explodes on impact" "can punch through solid objects".

With this jutsu you'll perform the hand seals and release a human sized fire ball (little bigger than a human) which you'll send towards the target. The fire has a solid structure so can be used to go through solid objects forcefully with blunt damage whilst still dealing burns of course. Whenever you want you can make it explode. Huehue

( 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.


You jump into the air and expel three large (like 3 times human sized) fireballs that rain down upon the enemy. They then hit the ground (all within close range of each other) and converge upon each other before erupting into a geyser.

( 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.*


You'll perform 4 hand seals which lets you expel from your mouth a special variant of katon; highly heated ash. The ash surrounds the target like a black cloud and can cause 3rd degree burns to anything inside of it. With a click of your teeth you'll use a tiny spark of katon Chakra to ignite and detonate the ash to create a violent explosion..

( 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.

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

Analysis: This technique seems similar to Exploding Flame Shots since it is also solid and explodes. It is offensive, causes a lot of damage and can move up to long range. It is performed by first making the Horse and Tiger up hand seals, and molding fire chakra in the lungs. It is taken to the mouth, where the user adds solidity to it and compresses it using shape manipulation, before releasing it. A large sphere of fire is released, and it explodes on the target on impact. It is a massive explosion which blows the target away.

Advantage(s): Since it has a solidity characteristic to it, it can be manipulated to go through solid objects without exploding, but still causing burns.
It is also a very large flame, as large as a person, so it can have full impact on the target.
This technique can explode at the users will, so the enemy will not be prepared to know exactly when it will explode. It can also reach up to long range, so can be used with a lot of flexibility.

Disadvantage(s): The opponent can perform a Jutsu to counter it. And, would this technique get in the way of the users vision, or both of their visions?

Ways to counter:
1- Use a water technique of C-Rank or higher.
2- Use an earth technique of A-Rank or higher.

---

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

Analysis: This technique is used as an attack and can also reach up to long range. It does not require any hand seals and it causes a good deal of damage. To perform it, the user must be in the air. Chakra is molded in the lungs, compressing it. When it is released from the mouth, fire comes out as three giant bullets of fire which target the enemy. When they are descending, the bullets are all very close to each other and they converge.

Advantage(s): It can reach up to long range and has the potential for a lot of damage. And since this technique is falling, it has gravitational advantage. So the bullets will come down faster and with more force, causing more damage. These bullets erupt when they land.

Disadvantage(s): The user must be in the air, so they will be vulnerable to attacks if they are not fast enough.

Ways to counter:
1- Again, a Water technique.
2- Or an earth technique.

---

(Katon: Haisekishō) - Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning]

Analysis: This technique is pretty interesting as it is different since it is ash based. Instead of superheating the chakra all the way, it is only partially done so as not to make it into fire. Four hand seals are also formed and the chakra in this technique is condensed to one point, so it can cause an explosion. It is released as ash, which makes a cloud around the victim. To make the explosion, the user clicks the teeth to ignite the ash, and it causes severe burns.

Advantage(s): It causes third degree burns and only explodes at the users will. Does it hinder the opponents vision? If it does, then that is another benefit.

Disadvantage(s): It requires four hand seals, so the user will have time to make an attack. It also does not reach up to long range.

Ways to counter:
1- A wind Jutsu could be used to blow it away?
2- An earth Jutsu to block.

 

[Shady Doctor]

If it's just ash then yes, but the opponent could still ignite the ash and overpower the wind.

You'd perform a single hand seal which allows you to spew out several flames shaped like the head of stubby dragons. This is the jutsu used by sasuke when he fought itachi, which he shot into the air which changed the heat in the atmosphere to create the conditions for Kirin.

( 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.


You'd take out a large amount of shuriken (or lesser amount if you'd like) and throw the shuriken at a target. As you're throwing them you'd simultaneously breathe flames onto them to make them flaming shuriken projectiles that will set fire to what it hits, whether it's flammable or not. But obviously not water and other things that put flames out.

( 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.*


You'd do a single hand seal and use your fire chakra around your immediate area to manifest several flames that are ghost like in shape and looks. You'd then shoot them at your target(s) as a swarm of ghost flames.

( 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.

 

[Ryóma]

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

Analysis: This is an offensive or supplementary technique so it can be used in conjunction with another technique, which is the lightning Kirin. It can reach up to long range and causes a good deal of damage. It is performed by making a single hand seal whilst kneading chakra in the lungs. It is then breathed out from the mouth as several large dragon shaped fireballs. Due to its high level of heat, it can change the weather when aimed into the sky by making thunder clouds appear.

Advantage(s): It only requires one hand seal, so it will not take long to perform. And it can reach to long range.

It has a high level of heat intensity, so much so that when aimed at the sky, thunder clouds form. This is the basis for the lightning technique named Kirin, which is very powerful. If an opponent uses that, then the target will basically be a goner.

It can be combined with a wind Jutsu to make it even more deadlier than it already is.

Disadvantage(s): If used in long range, the opponent will have more time to react.

When using it with Kirin, the user must be careful not to bring the technique down onto themselves.

Ways to counter:
1- It would be best to counter this before it reaches into the sky to change the weather. Water would do the job.
2- If aimed at someone, they can block it with earth.

---

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

Analysis: This one can move up to mid range, whilst causing a lot of damage. The user releases some Shuriken from their hand, at the same time exhaling fire infused chakra onto the Shuriken. They will set on fire anything that they hit, apart from things that extinguish fire, be it flammable or not. This is because it is based on the users chakra. These Shuriken continue to burn even after impact.

Advantage(s): It makes weapons very dangerous indeed. It also continues to burn after impact. And it causes severe burns on the target.

Disadvantage(s): It can be predicted when the user releases the Shuriken. User has to be careful that the Shuriken don't accidentally hit them instead, or else they will be on fire.

Ways to counter:
1- Water can be used.
2- Earth technique to block.

---

(Katon: Onidōrō) - Fire Release: Demon Lantern

Analysis: This technique can be used to frighten or distract people. It involves performing the tiger hand seal and releasing the fire chakra into the atmosphere around oneself. It can be manipulated to manifest into several flames that look like ghosts. They are then used as a swarm to attack the target, which would probably scare them.

Advantage(s): Only requires one hand seal and can reach up to long range, materializing in the air till that range.
Since they are in a swarm, the target may get scared.

Disadvantage(s): Since it can go up to long range, the target will have more time to react. This technique may not prove to be useful on some people. And people with Sharingan can counter it more easily.

Ways to counter:
1- Water technique
2- Earth technique to block or hide in the earth.

 

[Shady Doctor]

The storm clouds can also be used by your opponent to use kirin on you. ;_: another disadvantage.

Without the need of any hand seals, you'd build up fire chakra within your chest and spew it out towards the ground in the direction of your target. Once the flames reach beneath/around the target, they'll erupt into a pillat of flames that reach the heights of 3m tall and inflicts burning damage.

( 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.

---

This is like one of the only canon fire techniques that i actually like. You do the 4 needed hand seals whilst manipulating your fire chakra in your body. Fire would suddenly erupt around you before shooting at your target in a vortex like fashion. It'll then expand and form a tornado of flames which burns everything that comes into contact with it.

( 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.

 

[Ryóma]

(Katon: Honoo no Hashira Jutsu) - Fire Release: Flame Pillar Technique

Analysis: This technique is performed by manipulating chakra in the chest to knead it into fire chakra. Then, a burst of flame is released from the mouth towards the opponents feet, so aiming close to the ground. When the flame is released, chakra is condensed into it, so the flame would be a quick and compact burst. When the flame reaches the targets feet, they erupt into a pillar of flames of up to about three metres, taking with it the target into the air, burning the whole body.

Advantages: It can reach up to mid range, although it would be best to use it in the short range to give the opponent less time to react. It requires a medium amount of chakra, whilst dealing a pretty good amount of damage to the target. Since the flame reaches upto three metres when it comes into contact with the opponent, it ensures that their whole body is burnt. This technique is also a good way to ensure that Taijutsu users keep their distance. Also, no hand seals are required, so the delivery time of attack should be pretty fast.

Disadvantages: The user is streaming the flame until it reaches the opponents feet, so they cannot do anything else in that time. It is not hard to counter this technique. Also, users with Dojutsu can evade these attacks much more easily.

Ways to counter:
1- Use a C-Rank water technique to cancel it.
2- A-Rank earth technique to block it.

---

(Katon: Kaen Senpū) - Fire Release: Flame Whirlwind

Analysis:The Monkey → Bird → Dog → Ram hand seals are performed, whilst molding fire chakra throughout the whole body. This fire is then released from the chakra points around the body, and can be manipulated to either become a spiral of fire or a tornado of flames. The vortex will focus on something specific, whilst the tornado will expand and destroy anything in its path.

Advantages: It is a very interesting technique to me, since the fire is released from all around the body, instead of just the generic releasing from the mouth. It seems cooler this way. So, this technique is good to use as a vortex when one target is to be hit. It would be advantageous to use the tornado instead when there are multiple enemies or a large attack since this technique expands and destroys anything.

Disadvantages: Since it requires the performance of four hand seals, it will give more time for the enemy to react. They can attack whilst the user is making the hand seals, therefore disrupting the execution of this technique.

Ways to counter:
1- C-Rank water technique
2- A-Rank earth technique

When the fire is released around the users body, can it be used as a shield for the body instead of using it to attack?

 

[Shady Doctor]

Yes, but it'll be weakened depending on what it defends from. So if it defend a C-rank fire, it'll only have C-rank strength left.

Nice, thanks man. ^^

(Katon: Benijigumo) - Fire Release: Crimson Earth Spider

Analysis: This is an offensive Jutsu which requires the user to form the Tiger → Horse → Rat → Dog → Tiger hand seals, and exhale a large amount of air before spewing out fire from the mouth which surrounds the opponent. Using shape manipulation, this fire is then shaped into a spider, which attacks the target. It can reach up to mid range. It also causes a good amount of damage.

Advantages: This technique forces the target to try and escape and counter the technique at the same time, making it a little difficult to do so. If used in the right way, this technique is pretty useful. Like I would use it in short range, most likely when the target is off guard, seeing the amount of preparation needed for it. And since this technique traps the target, I would immediately send another attack to the target whilst they are struggling to get free. So it is also a good technique to use as a distraction.

Disadvantages: The first main thing that jumps out when I look at this technique is the amount of hand seals required, there are five. This means that I need to perform these hand seals when I am not in view of the target. Perhaps I could use haze clones to block the targets view first, and I could then easily get the target, as the attack would go straight through the clones. So the only problem I can see with this technique is the time it requires to perform.

Ways to counter:
1- Use an earth technique as a shield.
2- Or a water shield.

(Katon: Hi no Iki) - Fire Release: Fire Breath

Analysis: Well, this is a pretty basic offensive and generic technique, the only difference being that it causes more damage since it is of a higher rank. To perform it, the user exhales in air, whilst molding chakra in the gut. This chakra is then superheated, transforming into fire chakra. It travels to the lungs where it mixes with the air and then reaches the mouth. The user then exhales this chakra out of the mouth, and uses shape manipulation to form this exhaled fire into the shape of a thin stream which is aimed at the target, be it the opponent or an object near the opponent in an attempt to injure them. As it is powerful, I'd imagine that it would incinerate anything it comes into contact with, and severely damage the opponent.

Advantages: It requires no hand seals, so execution will be fast. It can also reach up to mid range, so it can reach quite a few metres away, showing its strength. Not much else to say about this, since it is quite straightforward and basic.

Disadvantages: Since it is a stream, the user must maintain the chakra in this technique, not allowing them to perform any other technique whilst this one is traveling to the target. Also, since this technique is so straightforward and predictable, it would be pretty easy to counter it. So I would use it when the opponent is distracted with something else.

Ways to counter:
1- A C-Rank Suiton Jutsu would suffice just to block it.
2- An earth technique.

(Katon: Honoo no Heki) Fire Release: Flame Wall

Analysis: As a defensive or offensive Jutsu, this serves as a shield and at the same time an attack to those who are in close range. It is performed by kneading into the forearm this time. Once it has been molded into Katon chakra by superheating it, the user then slashes their arm across horizontally in front of them, causing the chakra to come out. It is then shape manipulated to form a wall of fire in front of the user, blocking any incoming attacks proportionate to the rank of course. Probably looks pretty cool to wave your arm and have a wall of fire form in front of you lol. Flashy.

Advantages: Seeing as it does not require any hand seals, it has a very fast execution, and can be very shocking to a Taijutsu user who needs to come into contact with their opponents body. So it is an awesome shield whilst at the same time an attack. It causes a good deal of damage too if the opponent comes into contact with it. I like defensive Jutsus like these, just find them cool rather than always using attacking Jutsus to defend.

Disadvantages: I honestly can not see any disadvantages with this Jutsu at all. But there is one tiny thing, although I do not know if it is valid or not. And that is, will this wall of fire hinder the users view? If so, then that is the only disadvantage I can think of.

Ways to counter:
1- I reckon it would be hard to counter this when in very close range, but I guess a water shield.
2- Using a clone to take the damage.

(Katon: Hinotama no Mai) - Fire Release: Fireball Dance

Analysis: This is an offensive combo technique which works in conjunction with Kenjutsu. The user first attacks the target with their sword, damaging them. Then they jump into the air and release a powerful fire ball down onto the target who would at this stage be vulnerable and in pain from the sword slashes.

Advantages: It requires no hand seals, so no warning for the target there. Since the fireball is released from in the air, it would be stronger and faster due to the pull of gravity. Also, the target will probably be easy to rain the fireball down upon if they have successfully been beaten up by the sword. This technique is short ranged, so the opponent will not have much time to react.

Disadvantages: The target can counter the sword attacks without much difficulty, especially if they have a sword themselves. Even if this occurs, the user can still jump into the air for the fire attack though. Also, this Jutsu can not be performed without a sword, so it may not be used frequently, unless the user is very proficient with the sword.

Ways to counter:
1- Lock into combat with the sword, and then prevent the user from jumping into the air.
2- If they do jump into the air, block with a water shield or just use a water attack which will not only shield, but also pierce through and attack the person who would be vulnerable in the air.

 

[Shady Doctor]

Manipulate fire Chakra while doing the tiger hand seal to initiate the technique. You'd then shoot a concentrated stream of fire at your targets feet in order to create a column of fire that lifts them up and burns them significantly.

( 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.


A jutsu only usable in a combo with 16 pillars bind (lightning jutsu). You'd perform the hand seals Rat → Dragon → Boar which lets you create flames inside the "oven" made by the pillars so you can cook the target.

(Katon: Shageki Bisuketto) – Fire Release: Firing Biscuit technique
Rank: A
Type: Offensive, supplementary
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: After performing the needed hand seals Rat → Dragon → Boar the user then creates powerful flames inside the giant oven created by Lightning Release: Sixteen pillar bind, cooking the opponent until their burnt. Its normally used together with Earth Release: Mud fall to harden the mud covering the enemy, immobilizing them.
Note: Can only be used in the collaboration of Lightning Release: Sixteen Pillar Bind


Do the 3 hand seals, Rat → Dog → Tiger, and spit out flames towards your target, usually done towards their feet. The flames erupt and spread on contact and travel across the surface to cause widespread damage.

(Katon: Zukokku) - Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user after performing the required hand seals Rat → Dog → Tiger fires a small fireball that erupts into a giant fire-storm after making contact with a surface, causing widespread destruction to the area. Since the flames travel along the ground, and cover such a wide area this is a difficult technique to evade. When combined with Wind Release: Pressure Damage, this technique is amplified to the point of being able to evaporate a large amount of water in an instant.*

 

[Ryóma]

(Katon: Yūgana Honoo) - Fire Release: Graceful Flame

Analysis: The user performs the Tiger hand seal, and molds fire chakra in the stomach. It is superheated, and also this chakra is very much concentrated. Traveling to the lungs, then to the mouth, this chakra is shot out from the mouth as a stream of concentrated fire, aimed at the targets feet. Once it reaches the feet, this stream is then manipulated to rise upwards, causing the target to be caught in it and thrown upwards into the air, getting burnt in the process. This is a short ranged offensive technique.

Advantages: Since it is short ranged, the opponent will very much be caught off guard. And because it is aimed at the feet, the target will have a harder time blocking it. And as this technique is a stream, it can be manipulated to change direction, so the user can make it seem as if they are aiming at the middle of the target's body, but then at the last moment send it rushing down to their feet. Of course, this all happens in an instant, since it is used for short range purposes.

Once the target is in the air, they will be very surprised and also vulnerable. A great attack to use at this time would be a fast lightning attack as it would be extremely difficult to dodge lightning whilst in this situation in the air. And it would be awesome as people usually use wind to counter lightning, but they will not be able to because that will just make the fire stronger, but then I doubt they would be alive at that stage anyways if they do get caught in it. >_> Or perhaps, a wind Jutsu can be sent to the column of fire, making it stronger and more brutal. And what's more, this technique only requires one hand seal, which is the hand seal used for many fire techniques, so the opponent will not be able to predict which technique is being formed.

Disadvantages: Being a high ranking technique, it should not be used so casually as it does drain chakra. So with this technique, the user has to be careful that the target does not use a high ranking wind Jutsu to send it back to the user. And since it is short range distance, it would be hard for the user to dodge if this was to occur. Another thing, since it is a stream, the user has to maintain their chakra in it and therefore can not perform any other technique at the same time unless they have clones.

Ways to counter:
1- Use an elemental shield.
2- Counter with Water.

(Katon: Shageki Bisuketto) – Fire Release: Firing Biscuit technique

Analysis: This technique is used in conjunction with Lightning Release: Sixteen Pillar Bind, so after performing that first, the user performs the Rat → Dragon → Boar hand seals. Powerful flames are then created inside this giant oven made by the lightning technique, burning the target to a crisp.

Advantages: Once the target is caught inside, it will be most likely quite difficult for them to escape, making them vulnerable to this attack. It reaches up to mid range, which is a fair distance and it also causes a great deal of damage.

Disadvantages: Since another technique is to be performed before it, it will take some time and the target may find a way to escape, making that whole move useless and wasted. It also itself requires three hand seals, and if the first technique also requires hand seals, it will indeed be a bit of a lengthy process.

Ways to counter:
1- When the lightning technique is executed, break through it if possible.
2- Use a strong water shield in the oven to pretext from the fire.

(Katon: Zukokku) - Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work

Analysis: This is quite a powerful technique, which requires the user to perform the Rat → Dog → Tiger hand seals whilst molding chakra in the stomach. It is superheated and greatly condensed. All this travels to the lungs and then to the mouth. This highly condensed chakra is then released from the mouth towards the opponent as a small fire ball. It is small because it is very condensed. And as soon as this technique comes into contact with anything, it releases all this compressed chakra at once, expanding into a great fire storm, which covers a large area and destroys it. It can reach up to mid range.

Advantages: Since this technique uses very condensed chakra, the fire ball is very strong and also small. This could fool the opponent to think that it is just a regular fireball. Also, when it comes into contact with anything, it forms a giant fire storm. So even if it does not hit the target, but something close to them, they will still be caught in it. This technique is also pretty difficult to avoid since it travels close to the ground, and it covers a wide area. When used with a strong wind Jutsu, this is a very deadly technique. And since this technique is a projectile, another technique can be performed.

Disadvantages: The user must make sure they are not in the range of the storm, otherwise they can get harmed along with the target.

Ways to counter:
1- If in mid range, use the wind stream technique to avoid it.
2- Use a very strong earth shield.

 

[Naruto.]

R.I.P Shady.

Okay, so I am assuming you're familiar with my teaching system?

 

[Ryóma]

He brought me a long way in this element. U_U

If its the method system, then I have some idea about it. But isn't it too late to do it at this rank?

 

[Naruto.]

It is, but I will not obviously re-teach you jutsus you already learnt. Although, we do have to cover each method.

A short summary of how I teach my students:

My training method is very different from the common and conventional method you see normally. The method system involves grouping each jutsu into the specific method it falls in, irregardless of rank. There are several methods for Fire Release, which I will explain in detail soon. After each method is covered, I'll ask you to list the jutsus of that method which would test your understanding. Once you do that, I will teach you the jutsus of that method and then move on to the next method.

Before we start with the method system, let's get to the basics. I want you to tell me what is chakra, ninjutsu and handseals, in your own words. You can refer the wikia, but don't copy paste from it or other training sessions of other RP'ers. Also, can you tell me what Fire actually personifies for you? Like, how Wind signifies change, as well as destruction, etc. This is quite important, as most people can't define simple basics.

 

[Ryóma]

One method of combat that Shinobi use is Ninjutsu, along with Taijutsu and Genjutsu. Just like how it's name sounds, Ninjutsu means the usage of ninja techniques, which are performed by manipulating chakra. It allows ninja to perform abilities which are not normally done without the use of Ninjutsu. Ninjutsu causes real damage unlike Genjutsu, and it also requires Chakra unlike many Taijutsu techniques. Ninjutsu always require the use of chakra and most of them also need hand seals to be performed in order for them to work.

Every single person has Chakra within them, it's just that some people do not use it. Chakra is the moulding and combination of physical energy which is in every cell of the body, and spiritual energy from the mind. Also, people all have different levels of Chakra. Some people may have massive amounts, and others less. Chakra resides in the body in the Circulatory system. It flows all around the body, just like blood. There are 361 pores in the system from which Chakra can be released from. Ninjutsu requires focusing Chakra and moulding it. To focus Chakra means to use will power to will the Chakra to do a specific thing. To mould it means to give the chakra characteristics such as elemental states.

In Ninjutsu, there are also two ways in which to manipulate Chakra. One is shape transformation, in which the form and movement of Chakra is controlled. The other is nature transformation, which changes the physical properties of the chakra into elements.

Now, there are also hand seals needed for most of the techniques. They are essential as they mould the exact amount of chakra needed for a specific technique. Some Jutsus require many hand seals to be formed, whilst others may just have one or two. Then there are those which do not require any. Hand seals for techniques also need to be memorized in the correct order by the ninja. Some ninja have specialities in an element, and so they can perform a Jutsu that requires more than one hand seal in just one hand seal. This of course makes the execution of their technique much faster. Then there are also ninja who can form hand seals with one hand, but that is very rare. Fire Jutsus are characteristic of ending with the Tiger hand seal.

Well to me, fire does not just mean one thing. Three things to be specific. One is destruction, the second is growth or new life and the other is determination or strong will. The destruction part is pretty obvious I guess. Fire has the capability of destroying things faster than we can react to it. It also installs great fear into people when they are near it. Also, fire spreads very fast, engulfing anything in its path and it keeps going until it is put out.

Now as to the reason why it signifies growth or new life. It is because when a fire spreads across the land, after it has been extinguished, life begins to appear. New green shoots begin to pop out of the ground, and they thrive in that environment. And they are so delicate, something made because of this great and powerful fire. So fire still has the capability to have a soft side to it.

It also represents determination and strong will because of its vibrance. It is very much alive and fiery like a strong persons determination. It keeps going, fire keeps going, and that is how a strong will should also be.

 

[Naruto.]

Good. I'll do a basic rundown on these concepts:

Fire

Fire is a chemical change in the atmosphere, and forms heat, light, smoke and flames, which happens due to the oxidation of a substance. It is a symbol of life, as well it has the capability to destroy in seconds. It can range anything from a small flame to a gigantic hellfire. It gives light and illuminates homes, as well as acts as a fuel for cooking and is a provider of warmth. It can also be used to turn things into instant waste, as fire consumes certain materials by it's entirety and turns them to ash. Without fire, humans would almost cease to exist. However, fire requires oxygen to burn, meaning it is dependent on the atmosphere for it's survival and materialization. For me, fire personifies hope, as I have described above, as well as destruction; the ability of flooding entire forests with hellfire and rampaging everything in it's path. One last thing I want to mention is that, when used in a certain way, fire can heal wounds; cauterization.

Fire in Narutoverse

Fire Release is one of the elemental releases used in the Narutoverse and in the RP that utilizes one Fire nature chakra inside their core. It is a very violent element that breaths and spreads its power and destruction. It, in short; is the usage of superheated chakra to create flames and heat focused attacks. Its commonly created through channeling chakra to the user's lungs and heating it upto extreme levels, and forming Fire natured chakra, and then exhaling the built chakra in various forms. Fire chakra is most commonly used in its fire-based form, but it can also take the shape of superheated ash or flammable gas. Its considered the least versatile element among the basic 5 elements as it excels in offensive capabilities, and lacks very heavily in supplementary usage and is okayish as a defense. It's a fast element although not as fast as Wind or lightning. The main property of fire, is that it possesses a great level of heat, capable of incinerations. As mentioned above, the user, when generating fire superheats their chakra giving them this ability and it's usually generated from the mouth (though can be released from other points of release, i.e. hands, legs and other parts of the body). However, this property of heat can be used in various other ways. For example, one could add fire chakra to their bladed weapons, allowing them to easily cut harder objects like metals with ease, as well cause blunt force damage, along with violent burning power, which can potentially cause 3rd degree burns. One can also use heat to affect their opponent without actually burning them or requiring contact with the fire. The concept of the heat stroke, the amount of heat generated can be used in ways to increase body temperatures beyond safe points and initiate fatigue or illness that hinders your opponent. The heat of the element makes it capable of reducing earthen structures to molten mud, and form molten earth, if used right. Also, waves generated by the heat can be used to alter the density and behavior of the air. On a molecular level, the molecules in fire move at a rapid pace, which allows them to generate the type of heat they do. When speaking on the molecular structure, the rapid pace of this plasma element makes it a great element to work in conjunction with Lightning release. For one both are able to keep up with each other and Fire also covers for Lightning's weakness of Wind. Wind>Lightning for it being a natural insulator however Fire>Wind due to the augmenting properties the wind has to feed fire with the oxygen in the air (though not the case when Wind and Fire oppose each other necessarily). Joining a fire technique right after a lightning technique helps fortify a much stronger technique. Fire Release is naturally stronger to Water Release, and can turn entire bodies of water into steam and scorching mist, within seconds. Last, but not the least, Fire is the most ferocious element due to its sheer raw power and is the hardest to tame, due to it's near uncontrollable nature.

Chakra

"Chakra" is basically life essence or life force which exists in human bodies and animals. Without it, a shinobi can die. It can be considered "blood" and soul for a ninja. It is the molding of physical energies and spiritual energies in the body. Physical energy is the energy given off by the body cells and can be increased with more stamina and practise. Spiritual energy is derived from the consciousness of the mind and can be increased through great concentration and meditation. It is the basis for all almost all the ninja skills like Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, except Taijutsu in some special cases. It flows through the chakra circulatory system, and in it, there are 361 points aka nodes in the body known as tenkutsu. The function of the tenketsu is to regulate and control the flow of chakra. If these weren't present, then chakra would flow through some specific organ, thus there wouldn't be a balance in the chakra flow. Every ninja in the narutoverse possesses a chakra pool. Shinobis with a very high chakra pool like Naruto can perform a lot of higher ranked techniques like Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, etc. without having the fear of getting their chakra depleted at once. Senju Clan members for eg, have very high chakra reserves and a high physical energy aka high "Yang" energy, thus their naturally strong bodies and on the other hand, the Uchiha clan members have a very high spiritual energy, i.e. high "Yin" energy, thus their proficiency in genjutsu and visual prowess. It is possible to have high chakra if you possess very strong willpower. If chakra runs out completely in a shinobi, then he dies as shown when Kakashi died due to his chakra completely running out against Deva Pein. It can be divided into several types like:

Elemental Chakra
Senjutsu chakra
Bijuu Chakra

Ninjutsu means "Ninja Arts" and is something that allows the shinobi to do something that a normal human can't do, like walking on water, manipulating elements, the usage of special as well as bladed weapons, stealth, transformation, etc. The effects of ninjutsu are real. Most of the time, it heavily relies on the usage of handseals as well as chakra. Regular ninjutsu doesn't incorporate the usage of elements for it, like stealth, a basic Rasengan, etc. Elemental Ninjutsu is an advanced form of ninjutsu, which incorporates the usage of basic 5 elements, as well as advanced combinations to create stronger jutsus which have the respective properties of the 5 elements. Elemental ninjutsu is stronger to regular ninjutsu, since regular ninjutsu only uses raw chakra, whereas, elemental ninjutsu uses both Shape Manipulation and Nature Transformation. The perfect Rp example would be that, a Wind natured or a Lightning natured Rasengan would have a greater destructive force than a standard Rasengan, obviously because the elemental Rasengan contains violently rotating chakra as well as the violently rotating chakra is given the property of the respective elements.

Handseals

Handseals are hand gestures, which primarily manipulate chakra and dictate the exact amount of chakra needed for the respective specific technique. Weaving of handseals makes chakra take different "patterns". Some techniques require a large number of handseals, which is related to the complexity of performing that technique and if not weaved properly, in order, or if the user loses focus in between, then the technique is either executed in a weaker state, or it is dispersed midway, depending on the specific technique. A good example is Water Dragon Bullet Technique. It was shown that the technique required a string of 44 handseals to perform, however the Second Hokage, Tobirama could perform it with a single handseal, due to his unparalled Water mastery. It is shown in the manga that with time, a shinobi after mastering the specific technique, requires one-literally no handseals to perform it, an example being Chidori, which required some handseals when Sasuke just learnt it. In our RP, the user can perform any 2 elemental releases of his choice, depending on the elements he has placed as specialties, with one-virtually no handseals/faster handseals. Usually, handseals are performed with both the hands, but Haku, Minato, etc have demonstrated the ability to perform it with only a single hand. The 12 basic handseals are Monkey, Ram, Dog, Horse, Dragon, Boar, Rat, Snake, Ox, Hare, Bird, Tiger.
