[Katon] Fire with Jakai

[FlyingManHigh]

Awaits for Jakai's arrival.

 

[Kai NB]

It was a nice day in Konoha. Jakai was making his way though the village and enjoying the times of peace. He passed by all the villagers through the marketplace, greeting each of them as he strolled along. He placed his hands on the back of his head and looked up at the sky as he moved along the center of the road. Man, it's such a beautiful day. He smiled happily and then jumped onto the top of a nearby building and raced towards the training grounds.

Jakai soon arrived and saw his student waiting for him. "Hey there! Nice to meet you. My name's Jakai. I guess I'll be training you in Fire Release. So let's get right into it. First off, can you give me all the details you know about Chakra, Fire, and Fire Release?"

 

[FlyingManHigh]

Shuin sitting in the training grounds awaiting his teacher was feeling rather excited about learning his first element after so long! He was lost in thought thinking of all the cool jutsu he would soon learn until his train of thought was broken by the sound of his teacher finally arriving and him introducing himself.

Hey, the name's Shuin.

He then asked about what Shuin knew about fire and chakra itself. A kind of difficult question, Shuin hoped he could remember everything he read about.

Chakra is something that is in every single living being, it is our life force essentially if we run out of chakra we risk the chance of dieing from it. Someone who trains in using their own chakra source can use it to use a specific jutsu. Depending on the type of chakra the user uses would depend on the type of jutsu they were going to use. So if I wanted to use a Katon attack, I would need to channel my Katon chakra in order to do so. Fire itself is an element of destruction, you would never really see someone use Fire for good. It destroys everything around it so and is something dangerous to face and use. Fire Release like I said is an element of destruction, one wouldn't really find themselves using Fire release as a type of defensive element, Fire is mostly used for offensive purposes and also for causing alot of havoc and destruction with powerful attacks. It seems thats about as much as I know about the Fire Element.

 

[Kai NB]

Jakai listened on and clapped his hands as he smiled. "Well that was a good explanation. I personally don't view Fire as that destructive, but that's because I've seen it used in a variety of ways from my experience." As he finished speaking, Jakai dropped his bag on the floor and crouched down to it. He opened it up and two out two scrolls. The first was labeled "Chakra | チャクラ" and the second was labeled "Fire Release | 火遁". Within the contents of the scroll were a thorough description of each. He then handed the two scrolls to Seras. "Now, just for the sake of ensuring you have a thorough understanding, read these scrolls. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Let me know when you're done."

Chakra | チャクラ​

Spoiler

Overview

Chakra is the fundamental form of energy that all individuals possess which allow them to perform supernatural feats. Overtime, it has grown to become a necessary component of living. If one were to run out of chakra, they would subsequently lose their life. Chakra is unique to the individual, with each person known to have their own "color" of chakra. Sensors or Dojutsu users are able to see this "color" and recognize specific traits, such as the clan of the person. Chakra moves through humans in similar manner to other biological systems, with it's own network known as the "Chakra Pathway System". This network has chakra move through it, passing through Tenkentsu, or nodes where chakra can be released from. Shinobi have learned to release chakra outside of their bodies this way to perform jutsus.

Chakra is combination of physical and spiritual energies. Physical Energy (身体エネルギー | Shintai Enerugī) is collected from each and every one of the body's cells and can be increased through training, stimulants, and exercise. Spiritual Energy (精神エネルギー | Seishin Enerugī) is derived from the mind's consciousness and can be increased through studying, meditation, and experience. The more powerful each of these energies become, the more powerful chakra that will be created. As such, training both physically and mentally are necessary to improve the quality of chakra produced.​

Chakra Control

Besides the quality of chakra, chakra control is another important factor in the overall quality of a technique. With poor chakra control, a shinobi may utilize too much chakra and tire faster or utilize too little chakra and ineffectively perform a technique. Hand seals are often used to manipulate chakra more easily, allowing shinobi to execute their techniques faster and more effectively. Shinobi who are extremely skilled at chakra control often specialise in genjutsu or become medical-nin.

Regarding Ninjutsu specifically, two methods of chakra control are utilized. These methods are Shape Transformation and Nature Transformation. The first involves manipulating the form, movement, and potency of chakra. The second involves manipulating the properties of chakra to mimic an element. Yin-Yang Nature Transformation is unique in that it changes the ratio of spiritual and physical energies within chakra.​

Types of Chakra

Several variations of chakra exist. Besides each individual possessing a unique chakra, chakra can be categorized into a specific set of groups.

Raw Chakra
Raw Chakra is the natural chakra one posses and expels from their body. Comparatively, Raw Chakra is weaker than Elemental Chakra, Senjutsu Chakra, and Bijuu Chakra. However, when advanced Shape Transformation is applied to Raw Chakra, certain techniques can stand up to previously mentioned list. Examples of these include Rasegan or the Hyuga's Rotation technique.

Elemental Chakra
Elemental Chakra is the result of applying Nature Transformation to chakra (whether it be Raw, Senjutsu, or Bijuu). There are 5 Basic Elemental Natures — Fire | Wind | Lightning | Earth | Water — and each one possesses it's own characteristics. Elemental Chakra Natures can be combined to create completely new elements, though this ability is limited to KG users. Elemental Chakra is naturally stronger than it's Raw Chakra counterpart.

Senjutsu Chakra
Senjutsu Chakra is the result of adding Natural Energy (自然エネルギー, Shizen Enerugī) within the mix of Physical and Spiritual Energy. Whereas Physical and Spiritual Energy is dependent on the user to increase chakra, Natural Energy is dependent on the nature surrounding the user. When properly added into the mix, it increases the power of the user's chakra tremendously. Summoning Animals seem to posses knowledge of Senjutsu Chakra due to their connection with nature.

Bijuu Chakra
Bijuu Chakra are unique to the Bijuu, or Tailed Beasts. Their chakra is much more dense and powerful. Jinchuurikis are able to utilize the chakra of their Tailed Beast while in any of their respective Tailed Beast modes.​

Fire Release | 火遁​

Spoiler

Overview

Fire Release is the result of using Nature Transformation within a jutsu to perform various fire-based techniques. Fire is one of the 5 Basic Nature Transformations and it is made by superheating one's chakra to incredibly high temperatures. This generates fire which allows for heated attacks and defenses. A unique trait about Fire Release is how it has other forms. Besides the obvious flames it can produce, Fire Release can also generate flammable gas and ash. When infused into weapons and tools, it heats them up, which can be useful in cauterizing wounds or small surgical tasks. Fire Release techniques can either explode or combust into flames, depending on the technique. It is commonly affiliated with the Tiger Handseal.​

Strengths

Fire Release is strong against Wind Release. Wind Release only empowers Fire Release techniques, creating a larger inferno. In addition to the Basic 5 Natures, Fire is also strong against other techniques. It is strong against Blast (Clay Variation Only) Release. Fire Release is also powerful against Shadows utilized by the Nara Clan and Bugs utilized by the Aburame Clan.​

Weaknesses

Fire Release is weak against Water Release. Water Release is able to douse and extinguish the flames created by Fire Release. In addition to the Basic 5 Natures, Lightning is also weak against several advance elements. It is weak against Rain, Lava, Storm, Dark (Both the Absorption and Release Forms), Steam, Sand, and Dust Release. Fire Release is also weak against the Dead Bone Pulse techniques utilized by the Kaguya Clan.​

Combinations

Bloodline Limit
Fire can be combined to form a few different Kekkei Genkai. It can be combined with water to create Steam and Boil Release, with Earth to create Lava and Steel Release, with Wind to create Scorch Release, and with Wind and Earth to create Dust Release. It is believed that Fire and Lightning natures can produce Dark Release.

Advanced Elements
Amaterasu is the pinnacle of Fire Release. It is only accessible to a select few who have unlocked the Mangekyo Sharingan. It is naturally stronger than Fire and does not suffer it's weakness of water. It has a unique ability to burn anything it touches until nothing remains, never capable of being extinguished.

Interaction with Basic 5
Wind - Wind can assist in superheating and expanding Fire Release techniques, increasing the power.
Lightning - Fire can be used to assist in creating natural lightning by heating up the atmosphere. In some cases, Lightning may be enough to cause an explosion when interacting with flammable gas or ash.
Water - Water is able to douse out flames, leaving behind a big trail of mist/steam.
Earth - Fire can melt down earth to create Lava, and other molten earthen structures.​

 

[FlyingManHigh]

Shuin quickly reads over the scrolls, there was loads of useful information in the scrolls, especially what happens when Fire is mixed or clashes with the other elements. Shuin quickly rolls the scrolls back up and hands them back to Jakai.

I got it all, no questions here.

 

[Kai NB]

Giving a pleasant smile, Jakai took out an additional scroll and handed it to Shuin.

"This is the first set of techniques for Fire Release. These techniques are pretty generic and simple, so I'm not going to ask much from these. Here's what I want you to do now though. I want you to use the generic Fire Release Technique on the target I'll set up. It is the most basic Fire Release technique, so it's the place to start. After performing it on the target, you're going to tell me any strengths and weaknesses to it. And tell me how you like the technique in general.

Jakai then gestured to Shuin, signaling him to proceed with the first technique.

 

[FlyingManHigh]

Shuin prepared himself against the training dummy, after reading the scroll he knew what he had to do, he began gathering his Katon chakra into his lungs until he had gathered enough of it. He then released the chakra as a powerful stream of fire out of his mouth that burnt the training dummy doing significant damage to it.

Hmm, strengths to this tech I guess could be its capability of being a fire stream or fireball, just depends on what you prefer, also the fact you can combine it with Taijutsu is interesting. I guess the disadvantages would be its lack of power, it isn't really something super impressive or intimidating and can be easily extinguished.
