Shadou approaches the training ground , covered with his red cloak. Today he would continue his katon training with fellow Konohagakure ninja, Minato. Minato was a strong and intelligent ninja from their village so Shadou was eager to learn more from him. While waiting for his sensei, Shadou sits on the ground and starts to meditate.
Ok now my training is a little different than....Your previous one.. U_U

So ask questions whenever you have any.
( Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
Describe how to do it: After performing the required hand seals, I would need to inhale the air around me deep into my lungs. Once my Katon chakra is channeled and the air is in my body, I would raise my hand before my mouth and form a ring with my index and thumb finger. I would then release a stream of fire and use shape manipulation to transform the fire into a large fire ball. How many hand seals does it have: 6 (Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger) Advantages: User spews a large fireball that if the opponent is in range, can be very difficult to counter. Disadvantages: Can only be done at short range, requires a lot of hand seals. Combos and possible uses: I could use this technique and follow up with a strong wind technique. How to defend against it: Use a water technique larger than the fireball, capable of consuming it or use a fire technique of greater rank that is capable of blocking. Image of the technique:

Ok since it's only D ranks at the minute that amount of a reply is fine, but please note i expect more of my students, more description, name the techniques you would use to counter and combo and why you would use them, what is beneficial, describe the technique itself better if you can.
( 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.
Was kind of confused on what you wanted me to do, so I did the next technique after the great fireball technique. I also added the technique name to my previous reply to clear up any confusion.
( Katon: Kimuchi Amura ) - Fire Release: Wall of Flames
Describe how to do it: The user flicks out a lighter that has an open flame. Then while using his chakra, molds the exposed flame into a wall of fire capable of defending the user and deflecting projectiles.
How many hand seals does it have: Technique doesn’t require any hand seals
Advantages: Requires no hand seals so the technique can be done quickly. The technique also adds a wall of flame, that is a great defense for the user, especially against an opponent who has no way to destroy the wall.
Disadvantages:A defense technique that only works at a short range, so the technique is not that versatile. Requires a lighter….which a ninja may not be carrying. User must also be close to the lighter to create the wall.
Combos and possible uses: This technique can be used alongside with Hurricane fist for a combo as described. Possibly I could use the D rank technique “Mist blaze dance technique” to collide with the sparks from the lighter to follow up with a large fireball.
How to defend against it: Since this is a defensive technique capable of putting up a wall of flame in front of my opponent, I would counter against this technique by using a water technique of greater rank such as the B ranked suiton technique, Water Bullet. Basically any water technique that covers a wide area is capable of countering this technique and allowing for a follow up attack.

Hope that pic is okay. Btw, can I use any water technique of equal or greater rank to dispose of the wall or does it have to be a water technique that covers a wide area? Also, I’m not 100% sure but could a strong enough wind technique blow the flames away?

Size is relevant but when defending against something remember, as long as the water in this case covers the dimensions of your body and is of a correct rank it will defend you.
As for wind, it would need to be very high ranked, since Wind is weak to Fire.
Other than that good, on to the next technique.
( Katon: Hibashiri ) - Fire Release: Running Fire
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After performing the Tiger hand seal by utilizing their fire chakra, the user will create a stream of fire that can be manipulated into several forms (rings of fire that runs on the ground or a circle of fire flying through the air) before striking the target. It can also be used in combination with a suitable wind technique to release a massive inferno.
( Katon: Hibashiri ) - Fire Release: Running Fire
Describe how to do it: The user will perform the tiger hand seal while gathering his katon chakra. Once ready, the user will release a stream of fire and manipulate it into several forms in which the user can either direct it to travel by running on the ground or a fire ring that runs through the air.
How many hand seals does it have: One, Tiger hand seal.
Advantages: One advantage of this technique is that it only requires one hand seal, so the technique can be performed quick. The technique is capable of either traveling on the ground or through the air, which also can make it an advantage against opponents who may use a justu to boost themselves into the air. The technique can also reach mid-range and could trap an opponent.
Disadvantages: Only one I can think of is that a greater wind technique is capable of pushing the flames back before the technique hits or traps the opponent.
Combos and possible uses: When using this technique, I could follow up with a wind technique that will push the fire. Some wind techniques such as divine wind, can turn this technique into a tornado of flames. Some other techniques such as the wind technique, “godly wind from the mountains” are capable of turning this technique into a massive inferno.
How to defend against it: Since the technique is so diverse, defending can be difficult. I would say the best defense would probably be a strong enough (A-S) wind attack that is capable of blowing the flames back.A water technique to put out the initial ring, such as water shock wave or water bullet(?) may be capable of putting out the fire. Any water technique that covers a wide mass should really do the trick.

I'm just assuming with the water techniques to counter, if I'm wrong please let me know.
Yeah one thing to note you can hit the fire with a water technique before the ring forms, it only forms upon reaching your short range, so you have ample time to nip it in the bud.
Other than that very well done, on to the next.
( Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user will perform four handseals Snake → Dragon → Rabbit → Tiger , and breathe fire along a cord or any other type of long object, which rushes forward in straight line catching the enemy on fire. A line of enemies can be used as the conductor as well. The flames are meant to target, and assault the enemy's upper body just like a projectile weapon.
( Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique
Describe how to do it: The user will take out a long cord and use it so that it will wrap around their opponent. Then after performing the required hand seals, the user will gather their katon chakra from within and blow fire along the cord that will travel in a straight line until it reaches the opponent upper torso area.
How many hand seals does it have: 4, Snake → Dragon → Rabbit → Tiger
Advantages: For one, the technique can be done from mid-range. Multiple enemies could be used to conduct the flames, allowing a few people to feel the wrath of the technique.
Disadvantages: Requires a cord or a long object for the technique to work. An opponent who has witnessed the technique before will probably know what the user is planning to do, thus allowing them to easily counter once they see the hand seals and a cord.
Combos and possible uses: If using a metal cord, using a lightning technique through the cord is capable of paralyzing the opponent and then following up with this technique, leaving him helpless to counter.
How to defend against it: Cutting the cord or object with a sharp weapon or using an elemental technique that forms into a sword like the water technique, sword of draining. If there is a water source around, the water tornado technique could be used to cover the body before the fire makes its way towards the victim to block the incoming attack.

Reading the description of the technique, I'm guessing that the way it was used in the anime is not allowed. Am I right?
The way it was used in the anime if you refer to the Sasuke vs Orochimaru fight, can be used but it's unreasonable to attempt it, most people would likely metagame to prevent you tying them up unfortunately.
Well done though, keep up the good descriptions and the questions.
( Katon: Karyūdan ) - Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user exhales a flame breath from their mouth after making one handseal. This technique can be used in conjunction with Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet to ignite the projectiles fired by the latter technique, making it more devastating.
( Katon: Karyūdan ) - Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet
Describe how to do it: After performing one hand seal, the user will open their mouth and inhale some of the air around them while focusing their katon chakra in their mouth. The user then exhales, blowing out a breath of fire
How many hand seals does it have: One, not defined.
Advantages: Because the technique only requires one hand seal, it can be performed quickly at either a short or mid range. Since flames are breathed out, I assume that the user can turn their head to redirect the attack. The technique can also be used in conjunction with other techniques or maybe used too light flame to a thrown kunai or shuriken.
Disadvantages: Because the technique is breathed out, many blind spots are open for a user who may be able to quickly get towards the sides or behind his opponent. A lower ranked fire technique can easily be countered by anyone with some water jutsu training since the technique is not that versatile.
Combos and possible uses: As defined in the technique description, this technique can be used in conjunction with earth dragon bullet technique. Using a gust of wind after using this technique can boost the speed of this attack and cause more damage if both this technique and the wind technique connect. If an opponent is making a dash towards the user, they could quickly use this technique to stop them in their tracks.
How to defend against it: Releasing a water technique in the form of a stream can provide to be a good way to counter. Using a water technique or stronger earth technique capable of creating a wall in front of the defender may prove to be a good way to counter as well.
Good very well described, it seems you have this technique down to a more than adequate level, i feel i need to add no more, your description was very well done.
With that i guess we shall move on to the next.
( Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user first performs six hand seals Rat → Tiger → Dog → Ox → Rabbit → Tiger and they create a volley of small fireballs, which are sent flying in an unpredictable manner assaulting the enemy. In addition, the flames are controlled one by one with chakra, so avoiding them all is extremely difficult. Shuriken can also be concealed within the flames, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. Like the flames, the shuriken can be controlled with chakra. For the most part, however, this technique is used as a distraction.
This next one and it's enhanced version are visually some of the most enjoyable techniques i have seen personally in the manga and anime, very cool technique.
Have at it.
( Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique
Describe how to do it: The user weaves together the sequence of six hand seals (rat>tiger>dog>ox>rabbit>tiger) while gathering their chakra and envisioning the nature of fire. A volley of small fire balls are created and launched at the intended target. The user controls each of the flames with the use of the chakra, making the fireballs swarm at the target from multiple angles.
How many hand seals does it have:Six, rat>tiger>dog>ox>rabbit>tiger
Advantages: Multiple volleys of fireballs that have an unpredictable pattern or capable of catching an opponent off guard.Because they can be controlled one by one with the users chakra, there’s a high chance that an opponent would take some damage. Because there are a few fireballs, the technique can easily be used as a distraction too while the user prepares to launch another technique, especially with the use of shurikens added to the mix.
Disadvantages: The technique can only be performed from a short range, with the need to perform six hand seals an opponent might be able to predict what you’re planning or quickly send a technique to counter. Combos and possible uses: As stated in the technique description, using this technique with shurikens or other ninja tools is a possible combination. Since it can be used as a distraction, following up with a technique that requires less hand seals could prove to be dangerous for an opponent. Possibly using a earth dragon bullet, fire dragon bullet, and this technique could prove to be devastating as well.
How to defend against it: Quickly sending a water technique at the fireballs before they spread could be a way to counter. Using the technique Water Heavens Convergence to put up a wall of water will also protect the intended target.
Excellent you are getting more impressive with each description.
Nothing to add for this one, you seem to understand the capabilities of this technique just fine.
( Katon: Honoo no Saigai Hi Kagayaku no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Flame of Disaster Fire Shine Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user releases a flame of fire chakra that converges on the opponent wrapping around them and burning them.
( Katon: Honoo no Saigai Hi Kagayaku no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Flame of Disaster Fire Shine Technique
Describe how to do it: Once within the required range, the user begins to gather their katon chakra from within. They then release a flame of fire that travels to the opponent, wrapping around them and burning them to a crisp.
How many hand seals does it have: None
Advantages: Because the technique requires no hand seals, it can be performed quickly. It can be performed at a mid-range which gives the user some space to perform a follow up or prepare for a counter. The technique wraps around the opponent which traps them in flames which means if they have no way to counter, they will be burned severely.
Disadvantages: The flames aren’t so huge, so countering this technique will not be difficult at all. Low damage rate for a technique that can be performed quickly.
Combos and possible uses: Since the flames wrap around the target, if the opponent cannot manage to counter, they will be somewhat blind (by the flames) to the user which gives them a chance to send in another technique to add more damage while the opponent is already being burned. Using a wind technique in conjuction with this technique will add the speed to the flames, making it harder to counter. Using the water technique “Black clouds” to cover your opponent in flammable oil then using this technique will intensify the flames. After performing this technique, using the rock prison pillar earth technique could possibly trap the opponent in a prison of flames.
How to defend against it:The technique can easily be countered by a water technique, especially if a water source is in the playing ground. A quick technique such as water bullet or water gun are techniques that can counter this move.
Good, very well described.
Good usage of the black clouds technique, that's a combination i would use also.
Next technique.
( Katon: Rakka Sanran Kasai ) - Fire Release: Falling Fire Scatter
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
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.
( Katon: Rakka Sanran Kasai ) - Fire Release: Falling Fire Scatter
Describe how to do it: While in mid-air, the user gathers their chakra from in, allowing it to take in the properties of the fire element. They then open up their mouth and release a series of small fire shots that come raining down upon the target. How many hand seals does it have: None
Advantages: The technique can be performed in mid air which gives the user a fair amount of distance to perform the technique, it can also be performed quickly because it does not require any hand seals so a user could immediately jump in the air and perform the technique without wasting time. The technique consist of a series of small fire shots, so the target will have to defend carefully.
Disadvantages: The technique can only be performed in a short range, so if the user jumps too high or over their opponent, creating too much distance, the technique would be pointless. Because it can only be done in mid air, the opponent will have time to maneuver around during the midst of the users jump/leap into the air.
Combos and possible uses: Using the eath technique, earth flow river to throw your opponent off balance will give the user the perfect chance to jump into the air to perform the technique. Possibly blinding the opponent with a technique such as earth release mud shot, will also give the user a perfect chance to perform this technique. A wind technique that consist of a gust of wind can speed up the already fast technique, to give the target less time to react.
How to defend against it: Sending a water technique directed toward the user the moment the flames are release will quickly defeat the purpose of the technique. Using a water technique capable of forming a wall in front of the you will always counter the fire. Jumping into the air the same time the target is in the air and using the wind stream technique to push yourself back will create distance, making the technique pointless.
Good well done, that technique can be hard to describe at times, but you appear to have nailed it.
( 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.
Continue on with the next technique, this one is quite interesting actually, it has unique potential. xd
Describe how to do it: After establishing a comfortable range from the opponent, the user starts to gather their chakra in their stomach while letting their chakra take on the properties of fire. They then channel this gathered chakra towards their mouth in which they open a blow out a small, bright ball of flame that will burn the opponent on impact.
How many hand seals does it have: None
Advantages: The technique can be done at any range and doesn’t require any hand seals which makes it perfect for any situation at any distance. The technique releases a bright fireball which can blind the opponent before he even realizes it’s a fire ball if done at appropriate range. Because the technique is shot from the users mouth, he can turn his head towards the opponent to quickly use the technique.
Disadvantages: Because it’s released from the mouth, it serves no purpose if an opponent is attacking from behind and the user can’t turn around quick enough. Other then that, there's not much I can think of besides it can be countered rather easy if an opponent is quick to react.
Combos and possible uses: Because the bright technique can temporarily blind the opponent, any follow up technique would be a good combination. Using a gust of wind after this technique will make it appear as there’s just one bright ball of light rushing towards him before he could realize it’s actually a fireball.
How to defend against it: As always with fire techniques, a d/c rank water technique will do. An example would be the water technique water bullet, which can also be performed at any range and can extinguish the flames. If the user is not affected by the light emitted from the flame, They could call forth a wall of water to block the incoming attack or use a earth technique capable of boosting them in the air once the user releases the fire.
Image of the technique: …I can’t find none, searched everywhere. Naruto wikia doesn't even have the technique listed, unless I'm blind.
Ok good, and yeah i couldn't find any record of this technique on the wikia either, some of the jutsu in the canon list are not from Naruto though strangely enough.
Other than that, well done.
We can now progress on to B ranks.
( Katon: Karyū Endan ) - Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
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 into a genuine-looking dragon. The flames are divided to launch a left side, right side, and frontal assault in all three directions at once, turning the enemy into ash in a matter of seconds.
