wipes off the dried animal blood on his swords, as he heats up the boar over a fire.

"Soon, I'll be able to make this without damn rocks.."

He continues swirling the boar as he awaits his Sensei.

Can I watch?
Watch from over there U_U *points to a chair on the other side of the training grounds* xd




walks up to DeathStroke. Taking note of her student's unique attire, she can't help but feel both intimidated and impressed. She too, wore armor, the trademark ability of the Mandalorian Clan.

Sitting across from DeathStroke, she observes the Boar getting cooked. A faint smell of roasted pork tickled her nose. It didn't smell bad, but there was still the "rawness" of the fresh game still lingering.

After a few silent moments, she spoke, her voice curt, efficient, even slightly robotic in its intonation.

"Fire is such an essential part of life, yet it can cause great destruction as well. Such a chaotic element requires much mental and physical aptitude to control and harness."

"Now tell me everything you know about Fire, in the context of our world. Relate it chakra, ninjutsu, and the shinobi way. Strengths... Weaknesses... as I said, everything you know."


Her intense, blue-eyed gaze watched as the embers from the flickering flames danced around.

Deathstroke notices the arrival of an unfamiliar face, and can come to only one conclusion, that his Sensei had arrived. Though surprised, at the fact that she was a she, his mask was able to hide the surprise on his face. Deathstroke endeavored not to give this away as well, through his speech and body movement.

Yet, as he looked at his Sensei, her impeccable armour, along with trademark of the well known, and well reputed clan and her authoritative and commanding voice was enough to convince Deathstroke, that this sensei would be just as good, if not better, than any other. Masking all this thought, he decided to give his Sensei an answer.

"Well, Fire, is a necessity. Without it, very few things could be achieved. Take this boar for example. Without fire, it would have to be eaten raw, and that's a fate I would rather wish upon my enemies. It can be used to make signals, or to warm families. However, these are just the common utilities of fire. There are those, who use fire to wreck havoc, and cause destruction, on a minor as well as major scale. If you must know, I would use this for the latter. However, unless given a reason to, I would refrain from it."

" If I remember correctly, there are 361 chakra points in our body. The Katon chakra, I think, is molded around the stomach. As seen from various Uchiha clan jutsus, I believe the Tiger hand seal is the primary hand seal for theses jutsus."

" The Konoha shinobi also possess the Will of Fire. I'm unsure of what you meant by its relation to the shinobi way, but I'm guessing that this is it."

"Fire, is weak against water, for obvious reasons. It, however, prevails against Wind, as the air would, well power-up, in a sense, the flames. Fire release can also be used in conjunction with Lightning Release, a favored elemental tech of mine, to form Dark release. I'm pretty sure the mixture and Fire and Earth also lead to another elemental tech."

Deathstroke, after exhausting nearly all his knowledge on the matter, turns to see his boar cooked and ready to eat. He removes his mask, revealing a face fueled with hate and regret, as his heavy eyes reflected the flickers of the crimson flames..

"Care for some, Sensei?"

Her gaze shifting to DeathStroke's face, Aigis could see a man with many things on his mind, betraying the fact that there was much to him that she wouldn't dare peruse, lest she find something... undesirable. His expression itself spoke many words.

"Perhaps later, but I thank you for the generosity." she said, politely declining the food. She wasn't hungry just yet.

DeathStroke's explanation was rather abridged. He had hit most of the main points... but there were a few things she wanted to add. Looking back to the flames, she sat, legs propped up and held near her head. Reaching out with her free arm, she put her covered hand into the fire, feeling it. Her gaze refocused on her hand as well.

"Fire and Earth create the Lava element, for future reference."

"The Will of Fire is held by every shinobi in Konoha, myself included. I'm sure you've heard of it. And yes, each shinobi also has a 'nindo', a Ninja Way. It's their beliefs and ideals that shape their thoughts and dictate their actions. Tell me a little about your 'nindo', DeathStroke. What motivates you to gain power like this?"

"Reach out with your hand and feel the fire. Immerse yourself in it. It's quite convenient how you made this beforehand. Tell me how the fire is. How it feels. What goes through your mind as you observe it? Allow it to sink in, become one with you."

"Quite abstract, I know. This was a difficult part of me in my own training, long ago."

"I want you to gain awareness of your chakra. Then, try and knead and mold your chakra to match the properties of flame, once you've gotten a good feel for it. Tell me about your experience; be detailed."

"Once you've done that, then tell me what you know about the difference between shape and nature manipulation, as well as how you'd use both of them in conjunction to create ninjutsu."


She looked almost entranced by the fire as she sat there, waiting for DeathStroke's reply.

"Suit Yourself"

" My nindo? I do not possess a strong motivation, like the Konoha ninja. Nevertheless, there are people who I would not hesitate to vanquish from this world. Kiri-nin, to be precise. They once took everything from me. I know fully well that Fire Release is weak to the Water Release, the element the kiri-nin are proficient in. But could you just imagine the humiliation, when someone kills a Kiri-nin using the Fire element? That's my main goal, from this training. Like I said, Fire is chaotic, which is exactly what I shall use it for."


Saying this, Deathstroke placed his gloved palm slightly above the fire, swirling his hand about in an unpredictable fashion. The erratic movement of the flame could also be perceived as a reflection of the hand movements. He looked up, and spoke again.

"It makes me feel alive. This burning sensation reminds me of what it is to be human, it keeps me fresh. Well, as anyone would expect, it feels ..hot. But unlike some, who fear this fire, I love it. This warm feeling keeps my will burning. Heh, I almost sound like a Konoha-nin.."

As he heard the sensei's request to mold Katon chakra, he then proceeded to close his eyes. Knowing the feeling of fire, he knew that vibrations cause heat. He then concentrated in the chakra in his stomach, and started vibrating it vigorously. He could feel the chakra getting heated up, a bit too much, at one point. Nevertheless, he had an affinity for pain, and was able to mold this chakra without a hiccup.

"Well, that was different. It has a different tinge to it, when the fire is inside your body, instead of outside. The burning sensation, is quite unique. Hell, if I manage to heat the chakra to a point where it hurts alot, I could use this to escape a Genjutsu. Nevertheless, this feeling has alot in common with the fire I created. They both give warmth, and this feeling is unlike any other chakra i have molded before. That's as far as I can be detailed about this experience. There is more to it, but I can't just put a handle on how to describe it.."

"As far as I know, Shape manipulation has to do with the physical form on your chakra. For example, changing the size, the quantity of your chakra, its movement and range, all theses could possibly come under Shape Manipulation. I know for sure, that the 4th Hokage's Rasengan is a Shape Manipulation."

"Nature Manipulation is a bit more complicated, it is a high form of chakra control. It has to do with concentrating your chakra into one specific type of chakra, may it be Fire, Wind or else. There is also specific chakra paper, which has different reactions to different affinities. Here is what i know:


Katon - The Paper will Burn
Suiton - Not really sure
Doton - The paper will crumble into dirt
Fuuton - The paper will split in 2
Raiton - The paper will wrinkle.


Now, there are also advanced elements, caused by the fusion of two elements. For example, like you stated, Lava Release, and Dark Release. There are far more, But the only ones related to Fire are the aforementioned ones and Scorch, Dust and Boil as far as I know.

There is also the Yin-Yang release. Yin is the spiritual energy, while yang is the physical energy, That's as far as my knowledge on them goes."

"Now, to create a new technique, we need both Shape and Nature Transformation. Shape changes the form of the chakra, while Nature changes its properties and characteristics. So with this, you can use it to create an elemental jutsu, and then alter its appearance, into, say, a ball or a sword. This would be the combination of both theses transformations, in terms of ninjutsu."

(Excellent U_U)

"As we move along, I think you'll get more attune to the feelings and experiences. Well done, DeathStroke... I see no need to continue with the chakra paper exercise, so let's proceed with learning the techniques."

Her hand still over the fire, Aigis looked directly at the base of the fire. Taking a deep breath, the connection to the fire by her hand, combined with the kneading of her Katon chakra in her chest, allowed Aigis to exhale a few, tennis-sized fireballs at the base of the campfire, causing it to sporadically flare and burn brightly between student and teacher.

"That's the first D-rank jutsu. Simple and effective. Repeat as I did, just be detailed. Your catch will cook faster, at this rate..." she said, with a hint of slyness to her voice.

Probably my last reply for 2 weeks, going on Holiday.. Don't drop me :sweat:

Deathstroke stomps the fire, to put it out. He then averts his eyes to the the dark patch, where the fire used to be. He closed his eyes, and imagined the Katon chakra in his stomach. He felt the heat, burning inside him, as his chakra molded to the form of the Katon chakra.

Forming the tiger seal, he opened his eyes, and opened his mouth a bit, as if to whistle. He took a large, deep breath, and then exhaled a golf-sized fire ball straight at the patch. Though it set fire, he was not content. He executed the jutsu again, this time with a larger concentration of Katon chakra. Taking a breath in, again, he exhaled a much larger fireball at the wooden logs, where the fire was. And he did not falter. He exhaled around 5 fireballs at the pit, setting a large fire.

"You're right. This will make it easier."

(no problemo buddy U_U have a good vacation ^^)

Aigis raised her eyebrows. DeathStroke already knew the principle of "more chakra infusion = a larger, stronger jutsu". Standing up and doing a few stretches, she continued.

"Good. Let the boar simmer and come over here."

Walking over to a set of targets laid out on the training grounds (like bullseyes), Aigis demonstrated the next technique. She pulled out a set of shuriken in her hands, about six in total. Closing her eyes and concentrating, she channeled her Katon chakra through them, infusing them with it. Then, her arms in an "X" formation, she released the shruiken in a flurry, hitting each bullseye target at varying locations. They latched onto them for a while. Then, without warning, each individual shuriken was set ablaze. Aigis had triggered them by a mental command, allowing her Katon chakra that were on the shuriken to ignite.

"Do as I did, DeathStroke. Ask questions if you have any. Let's see if your accuracy is better than mine..." she said, issuing a friendly challenge to him.

(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.

"Excellent, marksmanship is a trait that comes easily to me."(Actually, its top, lol reference)

With that, Slade grabbed 6 shurikens as well, 3 in each hand. Keeping his hands at his side, the transferred his Katon chakra through his hands, into the shurikens. They got a bit hotter, as he then raised both his hands, into an 'X' formation, throwing the shuriken before his hands intersected. Each shuriken hit the mark, just as Slade expected.

But he was not done, he concentrated on the Katon chakra he infused in the shurikens. Calmly, he commanded the Katon chakra to burst, mentally, as his shurkines ignited, the one on the left first, and then consecutively.

"Well, that will certainly be useful later on."

(Welcome back. Hope you had a good holiday :3 )

Aigis nodded in approval. Deathstroke's accuracy was up to par with hers, if not better.

"Our next jutsu is perhaps one of the most complex and intricate jutsus in our training. Mold your Katon chakra in your mouth, and apply shape manipulation to condense your created fire into a small fireball."

"Then, you'll spit it out."

"Yes, yes, quite amazing, isn't it? Don't get overwhelmed, and focus while you hit the same target you threw the shuriken at."


The cheeky sarcasm was almost dripping out of her mouth.

(Yeah, thanks ^_^, and get well soon, if your status still applies)




Slade listened with great intent, as he was about to learn a staggering, new jutsu, that he was sure would annihilate everyone. His face fell, however, when he deduced that his Sensei was merely jesting. Slade didn't take too well to such acts, but he let it go. He needed his Sensei.

Mustering his chakra in his mouth, he molded it to form a small ball, one just large enough to fit inside his mouth, then, with great precision, he shot this ball at the shuriken he threw previously, hitting his target. As usual, with great ease. He then decided to respond in kind.


"Phew, didn't think that would work. That was just as intricate as you described it to be"

(Thank you, I'm feeling a lot better than I was a couple of days ago. I'm sorry for the delay, I'll try my best to keep up as much as I can from now on.)

Aigis was greeted with an equally cheeky comment and gave a giggle.

"Apologies. I tend not to use sarcasm, although I felt it was appropriate in that context. You'll find that some techniques are more complicated than others."

Wow... saying sorry for a joke... truly, a pure soul >_>

"We're going to perform the last two D-rank Katon techniques in a combination. Face those scarecrow-like dummies over there, and weave teh Snake, Ram, Monkey, and Tiger hand seals and mix your Katon chakra with your breath. But instead of igniting it to form a flame, exhale your chakra-infused breath as a flammable gas, that can surround your enemies- in this case, our training dummies."

( 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.

"After that, you can concentrate and mold Katon chakra on any of your limbs, and form a flame that surrounds it. Then, thrust said limb forward, shooting it forward as a basic flame attack. Aim it towards the gas, and if you do this correctly, the gas and fire, when mixed together, will cause a larger, more powerful explosion that is greater than the sum of its parts."

"Amazing, really, what even the most basic techniques can do."


( 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.

The dummies just stood upright, expressionless. Like... dummies.

-Sorry for the late reply, got school to catch up with-

"Excellent, picking up the pace I see"

-Saying this, Deathstroke clasped his hands together to form the necessary seals, starting with Snake, into Ram, into Monkey,, and finally Tiger. With these, the chakra in his lungs changes properties, into a flammable gas. He then exhaled this gas, covering the area, in specific, the two training dummies opposite him. The gas left a distinct smell.-




-Deathstroke placed his right hand in front of him, as if about to shoot a beam of sort.. Then, he molded Katon chakra into his limbs, as it began to converge on his palm. He then, with a great thrust, shot a fire ball from his palm, straight ahead, as it approached the dummies. However, before it could make contact, the flammable gas from earlier came into contact with the fireball, as it resulted in a large explosion, completely obliterating the dummies.-

(No worries man.)

Aigis creates two Shadow Clones.

"Now, for the C-ranks and beyond. Aside from just performing the jutsu, I also want your opinion on it. The opinion can consist of anything, ranging from positives and negatives of each technique, counters, usages... I don't expect long-winded explanations; the key here is you understand the jutsu and its important aspects."

"The first C-rank jutsu has you creating flames around your opponent. Rather than causing burning damage, this relies on fire's ability to generate large amounts of heat to make your target- in this exercise, one of my two clones here, collapse from the heat. It's quite fast to perform since it requires no handseals, and is a good way to stagger your opponent."


( Katon: Shōkasou ) - Fire Release: Small Fire Stream
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will create a small short flame at the opponent. This flame is capable of making the target collapse due to the heat of the technique. This technique requires no handseals.

"The second jutsu, which you'll perform against the clone you don't kill with the first jutsu, is the Uchiha Clan's Great Fireball Technique. I shouldn't have to explain this much, I believe, since we've seen it used ad nauseam by certain famous ninja in our world."

"There are two ways in which you can release this jutsu: as a stream of fire sustained with your chakra, or a projectile-based fireball. This presents us an interesting situation; there are jutsus that you can 'spray and pray', versus jutsus you must keep a focus on. What would be the differences between each type, and what do you think their applications in battle would be?"


( Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After performing the necessary hand seals Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger, a ninja inhales air, and utilizing a large amount of fire chakra, spews a large fireball from their mouth after blowing through a ring made by the thumb and index finger of the user, incinerating everything in range. The fireball ignites externally. The fire ball can present itself in 2 forms: it can either be created by a stream of fire and sustained as a gigantic ball of flames in front of the user spanning up to short range or be released as a slightly smaller ball of fire which will travel towards the enemy up to mid range.
