Hot hot hot [Katon] with The Mockingjay.

Souji · Jun 29, 2014

"Good, good. Keep it up, I'm finding no errors in your analyses."

"Alright, so for this one, you'll perform a set of hand seals: the Monkey, Bird, Dog, and Ram. You'll literally 'flame on', as your body erupts with fire from molded Katon chakra form your chakra points and system. You can then launch this flaming body towards your target in two ways: a spiraling attack that's concentrated and hits in particular spots, or releasing the fire and engulfing the area around you in a tornado of flames."

"Instead of giving me a usual analysis for this one, just tell me what you'd use either variation for, and in what context. That should give you some relief."

"Hit this single target with the spiral, and then, move on to that set of bunched up targets and use the tornado variation."

Souji indicated said targets.

( 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.

"Once you've done that, you'll perform another set of hand seals... Tiger, Horse, Rat, Dog, and Tiger again. Spew out a fire that surrounds your enemy, and upon applying shape manipulation, the flames will transform into a spider that attacks the enemy of its own accord. This is a two-part jutsu that traps and harms your target."

"Try it on this watermelon over here... I don't like the look on his face."

Souji showed Asuma a watermelon with a poorly painted caricature of eyes and a mouth.

( Katon: Benijigumo ) - Fire Release: Crimson Earth Spider
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: After performing five handseals Tiger → Horse → Rat → Dog → Tiger , the user spews out fire that both surrounds the enemy and then transforms into a spider that attacks the enemy. This technique effectively traps and attacks an opponent at the same time, and can be used to force them into another attack.

Naruto. · Jun 29, 2014

I gather previously created Fire based chakra and weave the Monkey→Bird→Dog→Ram handseals, elementally recomposing my chakra into Fire, as Fire literally 'erupts' from my body. I spatially recompose it to form a spiral like shape, which I 'release' from my body, as it hits the training dummy at specific points, turning it into ash.
Once more, I gather Fire based chakra and channel it to my hands, after which I perform the same handseals, though this time, I spatially recompose the Fire to form a flaming whirlwind of sorts, which extends from my hand and hits some other training dummies at once, situated mid range from me, about 8 metres.

Well, I would use the spiral one to hit a single target, while the tornado variation could be used to kill multiple enemies. The spiral one doesn't have much range horizontally, while the tornado one has a very excellent horizontal range, as well as vertical range.
The spiral version is very similar in design to the Rasengan and Bakufu Ranbu(however the latter covers a very massive range), so this would be well used to focus on a single target, and target it at his vital points, as they burn badly.

The tornado one could be well combined with a massive Wind Release technique, therefore increasing it's range and speed. It would turn many targets into ashes at once.

Once again, I build up Fire natured chakra, weaving the Tiger→Horse→Rat→Dog→Tiger handseals in conjunction, manipulating my chakra thus, channeling it to my lungs, wherein I elementally recompose my chakra into actual Fire, spewing it out of my mouth, as I spew it around the target, forming a kind of a massive circular ring of flames. After that, I spatially recompose my chakra to form a spider made up entirely of Fire, as it attacks the shitty watermelon, turning it to ashes. U_U

Advantages:
The range is pretty good, and this is a two part tech, i.e. the flames surround the opponent, trapping him inside the Fire ring, as well the Spider formed attacks the opponent burning him thus, else if the opponent avoids it, it forces him to perform another attack. Good, for luring the opponent into a certain trap.

Disadvantages:
The number of handseals are quite a lot, plus, the user has to first trap the opponent, and then form the spider, due to which the opponent can easily escape the surrounding Fire, by spewing Wind on the ground, thus pushing him upwards, due to opposite gravitational force. It's very easy to evade it.

Creative Uses:
Like a lot of techniques, this is best used when the opponent is in a Genjutsu. Actually, if the opponent has the Fear Of Spiders, then this technique is really effective as the image of the burning spider itself can paralyze him. As I mentioned, it's quite useful in the NW, to lure a said target into a certain trap, like the S-Ranked Earth Tech, "Open Earth Rising Excavation", wherein bombs can be placed inside the Earth, and the target lured into it.

Counters:
Simple enough. I would use a Basic Wind Release technique to push myself away from the surrounding flames.

To counter it, I would use an A-Rank Water technique.

The Giant Wave would not only extinguish the flames and the spider, it would also continue towards the target, however, in a slightly weakened state.

B+B=A Rank
A Rank - B Rank = B Rank.
So, I think it would continue on as a B-Rank technique.

... yeah, it's a lot, but if you have any questions, let me know via VMs, etc.)

"For elements strong and weak to each other, you generally need twice the power to EQUAL the strong element."

"In your example, two B-ranked fire techniques would actually only equal a B-ranked water technique. You would need FOUR B-ranked techniques to equal the power of an A-rank water technique. And doing the basic math, the A-rank water would only be weakened by 1/4th as a result, continuing as a weak A-rank technique, or a strong B-rank technique. Keep this mind for future analyses."

"This next jutsu is straightforward, so no need for an analysis, just a detailed performance. Exhale a stream of fire at your target- in this case, my clone. Remember it's a stream-type, but it's moderately fast and powerful. Nothing much else to say here."

Souji creates more cannon fodder- ummm... more Shadow Clones. :sweat:

( Katon: Hi no Iki ) - Fire Release: Fire Breath
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user breathes a powerful stream of fire from their mouth at their target.

"Alright, once you've done that, I want you collect and mold chakra into one of your forearms. Once you've built up enough, swing it in front of you in a wave motion, while releasing your chakra from the chakra points in your arm. This will create a line of fire that will, upon applying shape manipulation, expand and create a defensive wall."

"Pretty fast and simple to use; nice in a pinch. Watch!"

Without warning, Souji threw a flurry of kunai directly at Asuma, expecting him to defend himself with said technique.

( Katon: Honoo no Heki ) Fire Release: Flame Wall
Rank: B
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user kneads fire chakra into their forearm and then by swinging their arm in a wave motion they release the fire chakra creating a line of fire that spreads out infront of the user acting as a defensive wall.

Naruto. · Jul 8, 2014

Oh lol, I knew that. For a minute, I forgot that I used Water. :|

I gather Fire chakra in my lungs, and elementally recompose it to form actual, burning hot fire. As, I breathe Fire from my mouth, I channel chakra it to continuously, spatially recomposing the said flames to form a stream. I direct the powerful stream of Fire, towards one of the rocks, which destroys it and then another stream at your shadow fodders, err..clones :| The intensity of the flames, burn your clones and turn them into ash. A painful sight indeed.

Advantages:
Due to no weaving of handseals, this technique is moderately fast to perform. Very simple, and underrated technique. Used by Hiruzen on Spiral Zetsu aka Guruguru. The fire stream covers a massive horizontal range, and a good vertical range, as it extends upto mid-range. Quite useful when used with shadow clones to destroy several enemies and turn their body into ash.

Disadvantages:
The basic stream disadvantages..chakra has to channeled continuously for the technique to be sustained, in other words, one has to maintain focus over their chakra on the technique thus making the user easy vulnerable to external attacks. Also, this has a mid-range limitation and would die down after reaching long range. Plus, due to being occupied with maintaining the stream, it's quite difficult to make combinations.

Creative Uses:
I would make a shadow clone use this in battle, i.e. even if the shadow clone is destroyed, the harm is done to him. I would use this technique to melt rock formations, like for eg, the outer wall of caves and such. Also, as continuous chakra is channeled, the flames would burn with greater intensity.

Counters:
Nothing complex really.
A spiral torrent of fast rushing water would work.

Only limitation is short range, but well..

I knead Fire natured chakra in my forearm, building up the right amount. I then swing my hand, in a waving motion, as the chakra is released from my forearms. While that happens, I elementally recompose my chakra to form Fire and spatially recompose the released Fire to form a massive defensive line of Fire, that acts as a giant wall. The massive Fire Wall, flicks away the kunai from itself, thus I successfully defend myself.

Advantages:
Once again, requires no weaving of handseals, and is quite fast in it's performance. This technique can be excellently used as a defense to prevent oneself from oncoming Fire attacks and what not. The size and shape of the wall can be controlled by the user, as well as the wall is super massive. Anything in contact with it would turn into instant ashes. Offensively, this can be targeted on an enemy, so as to wrap him around in it, and destroy him.

It also blocks upto A-Rank of Wind techniques, thus being pretty useful, serving as a wonderful defense. And, it blocks the line of sight of the user to the opponent.

Disadvantages:
It can only be used in short range, and thus dies down in mid-long range. Also, S-Rank wind techniques would pierce through the wall, and be re-directed at the user, forming a deadly Wind-Fire combination. Similarly, the user can't see the opponent himself, being another disadvantage

Creative Uses:
Could be used in short range, as you showed, against kunais and such to deflect them back and re-direct them at the opponent himself. Also, as it covers massive range, I could use it to conceal my position and escape the location, if needed/go underground/get enough time to perform techniques that take time.

Counters:

As this is a massive Fire technique, I would use one with a massive power.

Pretty ****ing epic.

Requires a water source, and a little handseals. Best used when Fire is a speciality. xD

Souji · Jul 14, 2014

(Apologies for the late reply, I've been sick this entire week, but feeling a little better now ^^ Remember the format we discussed in VMs and do that from now on. I'm also noticing you simply fill out a format without thoroughly reading my replies; for the first jutsu in that last set, I only required a performance. Please remember that I try to put in my best effort with these replies, and I do have some expectations for my students, likewise. Just a heads up.)

(Oh, and these are the last of the B-ranks :x3: )

Souji hands Asuma a simple training sword; a katana that was sturdy and reliable, but with no unique properties. He then creates two Shadow Clones.

"Alright, last two of the B-ranks. Attack my clone over here with that sword. Be detailed with your stance, slashes, and how you approach offensively."

"Once you've cut him up enough, jump into the air and shoot a fireball downward, at him. Nothing too dramatic."

( Katon: Hinotama no Mai ) - Fire Release: Fireball Dance
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user will attack the opponent with a series of slashes with their sword and then finish up with jumping into the air above the target and releasing a powerful fireball down upon them.
Note: Requires a Sword.

"And finally, the last B-rank will have you weave the tiger hand seal and shoot an intense stream of fire at my second clone's feet. A column of flames will erupt upward and lift him up in the air, burning him up... literally."

"This technique pushes up an opponent if successful. What's so good about that? Not rhetorical... it's a real question. When an enemy is in midair, what would be an ideal follow-up technique?"

Souji drank some water to cool himself down. It was a hot day, and performing all these Katon techniques didn't help.

( 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.

Naruto. · Jul 14, 2014

Not an issue. I actually did read your entire post, but wasn't sure what you meant by "no need for an analysis". :/ So I did the whole template. xD

Asuma catches the sword thrown toward him by Souji. Holding it powerfully with his right hand, he rotates it around, as he notices it was nothing but an ordinary katana, albeit quite sturdy. The cigarette was still intact in his mouth, burning with it's usual magnificence. Gripping the katana tightly with his right hand, Asuma placed his right foot forward and left foot back and ran quickly toward the opponent, and as he neared him, he outstretched his arms, body still in the bent position, inflicting a quick horizontal slash at the clone's abdomen and reached behind the clone. And, as he did that, he turned around quickly and inflicted a diagonal slash on his back, and ran back in front of his opponent, wherein he inflicted two quick diagonal slashes, extending from the left chest to the right hip, and right chest to the left hip, similar to how Obito had inflicted scars on Kakashi with his giant shuriken. He then used the force of his legs, to come to a stop as he turned around and finally, he inflicted one quick slash aimed at the clone's heart, and as the slash was inflicted, he jumped above him, and molded the ever brilliant, superheated Katon chakra and easily manipulated it into a simple Fireball, albeit with massive chakra, as it rained down upon the clone and turned it into ash.

As he finished turning the clone into ash, Asuma placed the sword down, and pulled out his cigarette, breathing out one big and long puff of smoke. After that, he spoke, "Well, this is a sweet technique. You basically inflict some heavy slashes at the opponent with your sword, and then jump above him, and breathe out a fireball at him, which is very hard to defend, considering it rains down with added gravitational force, and it would be difficult for the opponent to move after several of his body parts have been damaged badly by the powerful slashes. The good thing is that the Fireball doesn't require any weaving of handsigns and is formed very quickly. The short range is an advantage since the opponent has to defend from the slashes, and immediately from the oncoming Fireball. However, the technique is useless against a Kenjutsu master, as he can simply overpower the user himself with his sword mastery. Also, the technique can be completely avoided by simply blowing back user himself or using electricity to paralyze him and incapacitate him. Basic 5 techniques simply work so as to inflict damage on the user, thus the technique is quite okay. This could be well used when the opponent is trapped beforehand, like by Earth Flow Wave or paralyzed by Nagashi or such."

After explaining everything about the previous technique, Asuma heard his senpai's instructions and gathered superheated, and brilliant Fire natured chakra in his body. After that he manipulated it, and after performing the Tiger handseal, he spatially recomposed the said chakra to shoot out an intense stream of flames, aimed at the second clone's feet, as the resulting stream, causes a sudden column of Fire to erupt thus lifting the clone into the air. As he's in mid-air, he quickly followed up with one of his favorite lightning techniques, "False Darkness", thus piercing his heart as he poofs off..

After finishing it up, he spoke once more," Good tech..You simply shoot an intense stream of Fire aimed at the clone's legs, after performing a single handseal, which lifts the opponent into the air. The flames burn the feet of the opponent, as well as a massive column of flames emerge, which extend very high, thus making him vulnerable to attacks in mid-air. I'd say, a good follow up technique would be False Darkness, as the speed is very very fast, and lightning techniques are near to impossible to avoid in mid-air. Also, the massive heat of the technique would itself make it difficult for the opponent to focus. One can use Wind chakra to push the column of flames at the opponent, thus turning him into hot ash instantly. Albeit, the range is pretty meh, and the user needs to maintain focus over the technique, as it's a stream. Plus, the massive Fire column would block the view of the user from the opponent and vice versa, which is an advantage as well as a drawback. The tech is best used with a shadow clone, because even if the shadow clone is destroyed, the user can attack from the other sides, while the opponent is busy attacking the clone. Also, when one is in mid-air, he could use a more powerful Fire technique to overpower the Fire column or use a B-Ranked Water technique to overcome the flames, as well as the force and pressure required to blow Fire/Water jutsus, pushes the opponent back, after which he could use Wind Stream to change his direction mid-air and land safely.".

Souji · Jul 17, 2014

(Excellent work u___u)

"Good, good. Now to the A-ranks! I'm going to skip techniques that require other techniques or special conditions. Well, I've technically been doing that, but it's common practice."

"Form the Rat, Dog, and Tiger handseals, and shoot a fireball that hits the ground in front of you. The moment it comes into contact with the ground, it will erupt into a frontal firestorm that incinerates everything in its path. This was the Akatsuki member Kakuzu's technique, and it covers a huge area."

"Burn down the trees in front of us and create a clearing in the path of the jutsu. Just be careful not to set the entire forest on fire..."

(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.

"Once you've cleared the area in front of us, we'll use that as an area to perform the second jutsu. This one will have you stomping the ground in front of us, and creating a tunnel by channeling your Katon chakra through it. Breathe fire into the tunnel after you've created it, and it will cause the fire and earth to meld, forming something that's similar to lava. And when you've set that all up, form a single hand seal and molten rock will erupt from the ground along the path of the tunnel, like a small volanic eruption, destroying a large area. The setup for this technique is a little slower than most, but the incredible range and its payoff outweigh that."

"Remember, ask questions if you've got any!"

(Katon: Keshi Makuga Hara) - Fire Release: Exploding Flame Crater
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Mid-Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user first stomps on the ground, using his fire chakra and making an underground tunnel from between themselves and the opponent. They then breathe out fire into the tunnel, causing the fire carry rock and other debris with it as it travels, melting them. With a single hand seal, the molten rock debris will erupt from the ground underneath the opponent, engulfing them and burning them alive.

Naruto. · Jul 18, 2014

Souji showed some quick handsigns and a demonstration of the technique. Entire trees were wiped out. Amazing.
Keeping the handsigns in mind, he gathered Fire chakra and elementally recomposed it to Fire, and performed the Rat→Dog→Tiger handsigns compressing the massive chakra he built up, to form a decent sized Fireball which he breathed from his mouth. He took care to release the Fireball in such a way, that it would make contact with a surface, namely the ground in front of him. As the fireball made contact with the ground, all the compressed chakra burst into a massive maelstrom of Fire, that wiped out entire trees in front of him.

As the trees were wiped out in front of me, he took one puff from his cigarette and spoke, "The range is pretty great. Horizontally, it covers a very massive range, about the width of 5 people, and vertically too, it is very tall in height. It has the power to destroy entire landscapes in an instant. If the opponent gets hit, then it's sayonara for him, and his ashes would be more in density than my cigarette ashes. xD Quite obviously, the best combination would be Wind Release: Pressure Damage, since it covers a super massive range too, and as I witnessed from the shadows, Kakazu could evaporate Naruto and Yamato's combination technique in an instant. Quite useful, to create steam and use a stealth based jutsu like Silent Homicide Technique to kill the opponent. However, if the user himself is caught in the combination technique(Pressure Damage and Intelligent Hard Work), then he is ****ed up in seconds. The best way to counter it is to use a powerful Water technique that covers a super massive range. Other than that, a technique of this level can be evaded by using a jutsu that blows away the Fireball away from the ground and bursts into a maelstrom there itself. And, the simplest way would be to not let the Fireball touch any solid surface." After he spoke, he waited for an answer.

He heard the instructions once again, and readied himself. He then gathered Fire chakra in his body, and stomped the ground as hard as he could, as the resultant created a super massive tunnel between him and the opponent. After it was done, he used the gathered Fire chakra to form Fire, and breathed out Fire on the tunnel, as the super heated Fire, carried rock and debris with it in the way, melting the Earth, thus forming it something similar to Lava. After that, he performed a single handseal, and made all the collected Lava like substance to erupt at once, forming a mini volcanic eruption, covering a massive area and destroying it(the area at which once trees were present).

Once more, he spoke, "The range is pretty excellent. Basically, useful for all mid-range battles. Also, it requires no weaving of handsigns, so that saves the already slow performance of the technique. Now, this technique takes quite a long time to setup, so I would personally never use it. If the opponent comes in contact with the Lava like material, he is burnt alive. Pretty painful. The opponent is unaware that Lava would erupt from the ground, however Sensory and Doujutsu can easily detect this. This technique creates a massive crack in the Earth in between the user and the opponent, and thus it is also useful for altering the terrain to one's needs. A nice follow up would be to grasp the opponent and throw him in the underground tunnel like pit, thus boiling him. To defend from the Fire, I would use Hardening Technique to engulf myself by a solid rocky armor to protect myself from the Lava. However, as soon as the tunnel is formed, I would use Wind Release to push myself away from the location and prevent the technique completely by itself."..

Souji · Jul 22, 2014

"Good, good. You understand each technique every well; I have nothing to add for those."

"Alright, so three jutsus this round, because I feel like it. Good? Good."

"The first jutsu will have you forming a flame on the ground that shoots forward in a blast that incinerates all in its path, in a linear fashion. However, within the confines of the same technique, you'll enhance the fire with a gust of wind, right after the fire. The fire on its own only reaches up to short range, but the wind powers it up to A-rank and gives it a new mid-range limit."

"Relatively straightforward, but this is one of those techniques that combines two elements into one. A rarity."

Souji sets up a training dummy that looks like Gai in front of Asuma.

(Katon: Hokori Tenka no Jutsu) - Fire Release: Dust Ignition Technique
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user will first ignites a flame of fire across the ground infront of them and then they will enhance that fire with a gust of wind to extend the range of the fire.

"Second justu! Create a fireball that travels towards your opponent. Yeah, I know, another fireball... so cool, right? Ok, no ironic pun intended there."

"Anyway, when the fireball comes into contact with something or someone, it explodes into a large storm of flames, affecting not only the target, but whatever's in the immediate area around them. Pretty powerful, fast to perform... nothing too complicated."

This time, Souji sets up a training dummy that looks like Kakashi.

(Katon: Gōka no Jutsu) - Fire Release: Hellfire Technique
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user will manipulate their chakra and breath out from their mouth a large fireball that travels at the opponent. As it reaches the opponent it bursts into a maelstrom of fire engulfing them in flames.

"And finally, the third jutsu in this set will have you stomping the ground and channeling your Katon chakra through it. Flaming pillars will erupt from the ground around you, and you can space them out evenly, to form an offensive attack or defensive wall. I would personally use this technique to erupt the jutsu at an opponent's feet for a quick finish. The pillars are tall enough that they can hit low flying aerial targets, like..."

A few birds were hovering above Asuma and Souji.

( Katon: Gōka Honoo no Hashira Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Great Fire Flame Pillars Technique
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user will knead their fire chakra and release it into the ground by stomping down their leg and then causing three pillars of fire several meters tall spaced out evenly. The Pillars of fire can act as a defensive wall against incoming techniques or targets or used to attack low aerial targets.

Naruto. · Jul 22, 2014

The Fire Style techniques were coming more naturally to him now. The massive practise was paying off. Listening what he said, he gathered a good amount of super-heated Fire chakra in his body, converting the magnificent chakra into actual Fire itself. It gave him a sense of warmth, especially when it was cold outstide. Focusing upon it, he once more blew out Fire from his mouth, and as the flames came in contact with the ground, the flames formed a blast which covered a massive horizontal radius and vertical too, however they could only reach upto short range. After the flames were spewn from his mouth, he gathered Wind chakra in his body, he was a master of splitting and grinding the chakra into two, and sharpening the two chakra fields together into fine pieces. Something he had taught to Naruto, who was the Wind master after him. He elementally recomposed the gathered Wind chakra to form actual Wind and spatially recomposed the said Wind, to form a powerful gust, which pushed the Fire blast upto mid-range, as well as powering it up with oxygen, fueling the flames to a massive extent. The training dummy(which looked like Gai xD) was in mid-range and was destroyed completely by the Wind-Fire blast, as the flames left nothing but ashes.

Heaving a sigh, he spoke, "I like this technique. It doesn't require one to weave any handsigns, and the flames itself cover a wide area horizontally and vertically, however they are only limited to mid-range. This jutsu is useful to destroy obstacles in the path, as well as burn enemies in short range and take aback enemies in mid-range, however the jutsu takes time, because the user first has to blow Fire, and then power it up with the Wind gust. Enemies can simply use a powerful Water technique to extinguish the Fire blast in mid-range and as the user follows up with the Wind gust, they simply clash. Albeit, it's very difficult to evade it in short range and one has to quickly re-direct/extinguish the flames before they hit the solid ground. An A-Rank Earth Wall, like Mudwall technique works well to defend against the Fire-blast since the Earth wall is pretty tall, and very durable. I would perform this jutsu with a partner or a shadow clone, since it could be performed faster then.", he spoke.

Finishing speaking, he quickly heard his instructions once more, and acted accordingly.

Simple, but deadly he thought. Gathering Fire chakra once more in his lungs, he elementally recomposed the said chakra into actual Fire and spatially recomposed it to form a large Fireball, which he breathed at the training dummy which looked like Team 7's captain, Kakashi Hatake. It tore him up to destroy him, even though it was a dummy. :T_T: As the massive Fireball traveled toward him, Asuma focused upon his chakra and made the massive Fireball erupt into a maelstrom of flames. The Fire maelstrom was indeed similar in appearance to a massive and destructive whirlpool, as the flames consumed the dummy and turned it into ashes, as well as destroyed anything in the surrounding areas.

He spoke again, "Like the previous technique, this requires no handseals to perform, and it is in one technique that I would surely use in battle. The range is pretty good, and is useful for mid-range battles. It has the element of surprise, since the opponent would use only a slightly powerful Water technique to overpower it, when instead the Fireball would erupt into a maelstrom and neutralize the Water technique. I would use a Wind technique which requires no handsigns, in conjunction with this, to increase the size of the Fireball, it's range and it's overall speed, thus making it hard for the opponent to evade. It is very deadly in short range and is almost impossible to avoid, unless the opponent is a sensor/doujutsu user or has super fast reflexes. It is very quick to perform also and can shatter defenses easily, as well as the user can make the surrounding terrain manipulate to his desires, thus making it disadvantageous for Earth Release users. As soon as the Fireball would come toward me, I would active an Earth armor like Hardening Technique and being a Wood Style user, I would use Wood Release: Wood Expulsion Jutsu to defend myself against it, not taking any risks.

Performing these jutsus indeed had taken a toll on him, they consumed a lot of chakra. Going to a nearby lake, he drank a lot of water, and rested for a while, to let his body restore his chakra supply. After quite some time, he returned to the training grounds, with a happy look on his face, and his mind fresh from resting. His senpai's instructions were still clear in his mind, as he readied himself and gathered Fire chakra once more in his body. After which, he channeled it to his right foot and stomped it as hard he could, on the ground, thus sending the Fire chakra towards it, and elementally recomposing his chakra into Fire. The ground near him, cracked loudly, as Fire traveled through it. He then, spatially recomposed his chakra to make 3 super tall flaming pillars of Fire erupt near him, in short range, and he focused upon his chakra and made the pillars travel towards some birds that were hovering around and creating a mess. It was however, a sad sight to see the birds being turned into ashes by the pillars.

Taking a deep breath and sighing once more, he said, "Again, this technique requires no weaving of handsigns, and the pillars are very destructive. They can be used to burn an opponent who has taken an aerial route, and possibly injure one who's trying to attack you with Taijutsu techniques like Drop Kick and such. It was a powerful variant of Flame Pillars technique, albeit there were more pillars formed and they were very tall in size. Excellent for defending against Wind Blasts, and such. The user has the choice of also escaping underground or escape from the battlefield, since the pillars when used in short range are so tall that the user can't see the opponent and vice versa, which is advantageous as well as a disadvantage. Also, when used an attack, the opponent can sense the change in Earth and appropriately act, by pushing himself up by an Earth pillars and such, thus the formation time in mid-range is slow. However, the user is also vulnerable to attacks from all the other sides. I would personally make a shadow clone use this, while I would attack the opponent when he's distracted. Wind-Water combinations would excellently work to overpower the pillars as well as drown the opponent himself."

He waited for an answer again, lighting up a cigarette again and calmly breathing out smoke.

Souji · Jul 24, 2014

Yeah, well, Asuma was pretty good. Like, seriously. Souji didn't have anything to add.

"Alright, last A-rank! Excited? We're in the home stretch, so keep it up."

"Perform the Tiger hand seal and compress Katon chakra in your body. Exhale it and apply shape manipulation to turn them into Dragon-shaped fireballs. Yes, more fireballs, heh..."

"But the thing about these fireballs is that you can control their paths with your chakra, and their properties are such that they can nearly disintegrate unprotected targets due to their sheer heat. The fireballs even have a solidity to them, making them seem like they're a projectile that can cause impact damage."

"For this exercise, shoot a couple at me, I'll show you a counter to them. Hopefully I don't die from doing something wrong..." Souji said, taking a nervous, ready stance :sweat:

The temperature of the created flames is so great that, even with the briefest of contact, they are capable of easily burning human flesh and the fireballs are dense enough to behave almost as solid, being able to deliver impact damage in adition to the fire damage. However, this also means that they can be deflected as a solid projectiles.

However, this also means that they can be deflected as a solid projectiles.

Yes, I'm excited!, he replied. More relieved, than excited, since the S-Ranks were the next. Ah, Madara Uchiha he wondered, as it was the first name that came to his mind, when his senpai explained the technique. Gathering superheated Katon chakra, he manipulated it, forming hot Fire, as he compressed the Fire, manipulating it skillfully to form several dragon shaped fireballs, about 4 of them, which he breathed from his mouth. The fireballs traveled with super massive speed towards his senpai, making a demonic sound as they did. They were pretty solid too, as he took care not to direct all the fireballs at his senpai, testing if the fireballs destroyed anything nearby, and indeed they did, as they incinerated trees in an instant. The others had to be defended or his senpai would be burnt to ashes. His senpai somehow defended against them. His senpai asked for 2 fireballs, but he tried out more, to test their power.

Alright. So he spoke once again, One of my favorite techniques. The projectiles are very solid, and they are very deadly. They can burn human skin upon contact, and obviously turn things to ashes once burnt enough. Their speed is so high that even Mei couldn't prepare her Water Jutsu to deflect the Dragon shaped fireballs. They behave like solid objects, tearing down, shattering and burning down everything in their path. Their range is also pretty excellent, and the best part is that they don't require weaving of handsigns. When used in conjunction with Wind jutsus, they instantly kill the opponent due to their super massive speed. The best time to use it would be in mid-air like Madara did against the Kages, as they gain more speed and intensity due to the downward gravitational force, and rain down like super fast meteors. However, as they are projectiles, they can be deflected and be re-directed at the opponent. Projectiles against projectiles? Best counter ever. And, as they're small, they can be defended by thick Earth armors and such.

Souji · Jul 28, 2014

*dodges the fireballs*

(LOL JK, don't ever do that. I was gonna use this jutsu to block them as they were flying towards me: )

(From now on, Just perform the techniques and provide an image from the wiki IF you can find one. I expect good details, but I'll let you relax with less wallies. I'll still ask you questions to test your understanding where it applies.)

This was it. S-ranks. Souji noted Asuma's growth; it seemed like it was only yesterday they were working hard and going through the jutsu list.

But now wasn't the time to wax nostalgic. Time to finish this up! His eyes showed a fire in them that expressed his determination :|

"Alright, let's just have some fun with these S-ranks. Just don't burn down the forest, or we might get accused of arson. HA!" :sweat:

"For the first of the S-ranks, form one handseal and expel a huge flaming stream from your mouth. You can control the size and spread of the fire, from a narrow jet to a large, wide area attack. Remember that it's a stream-type technique, and this is strong enough to evaporate even water."

"What would you use the narrow jet for, versus the widespread version?"

(Katon: Gōen no Jutsu) - Fire Release: Great Flame Technique

Description: The user does one handseal and inhales while molding a great amount of chakra into their lungs and expelling a large stream of flames from their mouth. The user has control over the concentration of the technique, being able to produce a narrow jet of flames, highly concentrated or one that will widen along its range. The flames are hot enough to quickly evaporate large quantities of water within a relatively short amount of time.

"The second jutsu has you weaving the Horse, Tiger, Snake, and Ram handseals. Exhale up to eight (8) fireballs upward into the sky, and, within the same turn, they'll rain down like flaming meteors."

"Both of these techniques are absurdly powerful. Just be sure not to kill us both! HA!"

Kneading his chakra and then converting it to fire, the user will do the Horse → Tiger → Snake → Ram hand seals as he inhales, exhaling into the sky a multitude of great fireballs (up to 8) at the same time which then rain down on the target from above causing severe, widespread damage around the field. These fireballs have explosive and concussive abilities, similar to other fire techniques.

Naruto. · Jul 29, 2014

You're awesome, Souji. ;D

Asuma flicked his cigarette away, as a little excitement rushed through his veins. Now, was the time for the big shots.

Description: The user does one handseal and inhales while molding a great amount of chakra into their lungs and expelling a large stream of flames from their mouth. The user has control over the concentration of the technique, being able to produce a narrow jet of flames, highly concentrated or one that will widen along its range. The flames are hot enough to quickly evaporate large quantities of water within a relatively short amount of time.

After performing a single handseal and inhaling a large amount of oxygen, Asuma gathered a very large amount of chakra in his lungs, and heated it to super extreme levels, to form Fire natured chakra. He elementally recomposed it to form actual Fire, and spatially recomposed it to form a very massive stream of concentrated flames, which he exhaled from his mouth. The exhaled Fire stream was directed at the sky above, as slowly, he widened the narrow jet of superhot flames into a wider and more powerful jet of flames, which covered a greater area, as he continuously maintained focus over his chakra to maintain the trajectory and the intensity of the flames.

Well, the narrow jet can be used to quickly target a small target, and make it more concentrated. It works well for short range, as it's very fast in it's movement and instantly acts to turn the opponent into ashes. The wide stream has obviously a wider area, and can be used to target something huge like a summon, or to evaporate large quantities of water in seconds, however, it's not concentrated at one single point, whereas the narrow jet is more compressed.

These fireballs have explosive and concussive abilities, similar to other fire techniques.

Once more, Asuma gathered huge amounts of raw chakra in his body, and manipulated the said chakra to form superheated Fire natured chakra, by "heating" his gathered chakra to extreme levels. As the new chakra nature was formed, he elementally recomposed his Fire natured chakra, to form actual Fire, and weaved the Horse → Tiger → Snake → Ram handsigns in conjunction, inhaling a lot of oxygen after it, after which he mixed his oxygen with the Fire, and spatially recomposed the Fire to exhale 8 different super powerful Fireballs in the air, in a 45 degree manner. The fireballs traveled high in the sky and then rained down like meteors with super massive speed and power, as the gravitational force increased their velocity. The fireballs destroyed nearby Earth shelters and destroyed the surrounding land in seconds.

Souji · Aug 1, 2014

(Wow, check it. Last 4 absolutely necessary techs in Katon. I'll give you the rest to do in one massive post, doesn't mean you compromise on quality, ok? :3 xD)

Souji pulled out two scrolls from his equipment bag and presented them, wrapped up, in front of Asuma.

"The next two jutsus require scrolls. Luckily, I brought some! For the first jutsu, use your Katon chakra to break the seal on one of these scrolls, summoning a flaming dragon that erupts from the scroll and is manipulated and created through shape transformation. You can control the trajectory and the attack pattern of the dragon using your chakra. Oh, and it explodes upon impact."

"The second jutsu applies the same principles, except you create a flaming tiger, which is obviously smaller than the dragon. You can also control the tiger, and it explodes on contact."

"The dragon's a little slower but larger and does widespread damage. In contrast, the tiger's faster and can do more concentrated damage on a single target. Something to think about."

Two wooden dummies were standing in front of Asuma, waiting to get burned :|

After taking a short break while watching Asuma finish the scroll-based techniques, Souji stood up and stretched.

"Last two techniques of Katon. Ready? Apply everything you've learned into these... pour your heart and soul into them!!"

His eyes had that fiery determination that was kind of cool but also kind of creepy o__o"

"First of the last! Weave the horse handseal, and mold Katon chakra in your mouth! Spit it out as a stream of flames that expands into HUGE WALLS OF HELLFIRE in both horizontal and vertical directions! It's nearly impossible to avoid! But because of its size, the formation of the technique isn't as fast as I'd like!"

For some reason, Souji was shouting his explanations with passion

"AND FINALLY!!! Last of the last Katon techniques! Weave a bunch of handseals, the Rat! Ox! Dog! Horse! Monkey! Boar! Tiger! Expel a massive stream of flames that can burn almost anything in its path like a flamethrower! It can dwarf a Susanoo in terms of size!"

With a single man tear running down his eyes, he dropped on his butt, exhausted for some reason.

Asuma rested for a while, after being worn out by such heavy jutsus. He took out another cigarette and lit it, slowly puffing out smoke, as the smoking relaxed his mind. About 15 minutes later, he returned to the ground, after his chakra supply was restored. He heard his senpai's instructions. So these were the last 4 jutsus and after which he would be a fire master. A matter of pride for the Leaf village and the Fire country.

He noticed the unwrapped scroll in front of him. After placing the scrolls, Souji went away from the area, about long range, folding his arms across. After the instructions were given, Asuma once more flicked his cigarette away with his finger and gathered large amounts of chakra and heated it upto supermassive levels. It came more naturally to him now. After the new chakra nature was formed, he used the new chakra nature to break the seal of the unwrapped scroll, as Fire erupted from it, and just as it did, he spatially recomposed the said Fire to shape it into a flaming dragon and gave it form. Also, he concentrated all the chakra at one point so as to make the dragon explode when it came in contact with the target The flaming dragon erupted from the scroll quickly and dashed towards one of the dummies, as Asuma used his chakra to control it's trajectory. In a graceful manner, the dragon reached the dummy and exploded upon impact causing massive damage to the area itself, as the dummy's body parts got scattered around in a matter of seconds. The explosion was uniformly spread around a massive area.

Description: The user summons a tiger made of flames from a scroll, directing it towards the target, and attaching itself onto the target and explode causing massive damage on detonation making it similar to a paper bomb.

Applying the same principle again, Asuma gathered superheated Katon chakra once more, and used it to break the seal on the other scroll, as Fire erupted from it. He then spatially recomposed the said Fire to form a flaming Tiger this time. Similar to the last time, he concentrated all the chakra at one point, using his precise focus. After which, he gave the Tiger form and controlled it's trajectory by using his chakra. The tiger rushed through to the target and as it reached the dummy, it wrapped around it and then Asuma made it explode, however the explosion instead of causing widespread damage, affected a small area, but caused a heavy damage to it, and also tore the dummy to several pieces that were scattered all around.

After finishing up the 2 techs, Asuma relaxed once more, his mind quite content that only 2 techniques were left for him to learn. After a short while, he returned once more to the training grounds with his chakra supply replenished. He was taken aback by his Senpai's look. His eyes were set on fire. That was quite some determination. He smiled, stroking his own hair, a drop of sweat falling down his face in confusion.

After hearing his instructions once more, he took an offensive stance and threw away his cigarette, a mix of determination and nervousness surging through his body, as these two techniques described were very hard to perform. Sighing a little, he focused on the area ahead as his senpai stood beside him, not wanting to get hit by the flames. He then performed the Horse Handseal and molded superheated Katon chakra in his mouth, elementally recomposing the said chakra to form Fire which he spit from his mouth in form a stream. As the fire left his mouth, he spatially recomposed the said Fire to form a super ****ing massive hellfire of Flames shaped like a wall, which spread out instantly covering a very wide horizontal as well as vertical area, as he maintained focus over his chakra, continuously fueling the flames, his body arched forward, diagonally. The Hellfire of flames, destroyed the ground as they traveled on it and swallowed up trees and everything in the vicinity turning everything in sight to ashes.

After performing the previous techs, a wave of confidence rushed through him. A fire technique of that level was godly! He saw his senpai falling on his butt after giving the instructions, a sign of completion, albeit it was quite hilarious to him. He, however controlled his laugh and then focused on the terrain backward. The terrain ahead was destroyed badly, so the only thing left was the backward terrain. He turned backward and weaved a string of 6 handsigns, namely Rat → Ox → Dog → Horse → Monkey → Boar → Tiger in conjunction, and as he did that, he once more molded Katon chakra in his mouth, and elementally recomposed the superheated chakra nature to form actual Fire, and then exhaled the Fire from his mouth, which he spatially recomposed to form a massive stream of flames, which was many times bigger than the Susano'o in area, as he continuously fueled chakra to the flames. The Fire stream extended in width as it travelled, and set the whole Forest, long range of him, on Fire, destroying everything that was there.

Souji · Aug 1, 2014

The entire battlefield looked like a scorched Earth. The remnants of a once lush, vibrant forest had all but been burned away in the fires.

However, sprouting from the ahses was a single plant, budding new leaves, in between Souji and Asuma. There was a silence.

"Fire has the capacity for great destruction, but is also representative of life, starting anew, and warmth."

"It's a weapon that, moreso than other elements, has a passion and mind of its own, protecting and destroying."

"Once you understand it more thoroughly, you'll become one with it..."

"Well then! I got a little too philosophical, HA! We're done here. Perhaps we'll see each other sometime!"

Picking up his equipment bag and giving his grin, he waved to Asuma and made his way back to Konoha.

The plant budded a single flower.

(Congrats, you've completed fire

)

Naruto. · Aug 1, 2014

As the path ahead of him was destroyed completely, Asuma sat down the ground, his hands folded across his legs, a giant sigh escaping his mouth. A tss sound was heard in the distance, the sound of everything crumbling to ashes. Among the ashes, there was a green thing. The green thing was actually a plant, a single plant among the ashes. A symbol of life. His senpai told him his thoughts about Fire, they seemed very philosophical, and they were very genuine indeed.

In a moment, he picked up his equipment bag and gave a warm grim to Asuma, and headed towards the direction of Konohagakure. Asuma looked back and returned the smile, and took out one more cigarette and lit it, slowly getting up, and walked towards the direction of his new found home, Otogakure.

Thanks for training me! You've really completed it pretty quickly and it's been quite fun putting some actual effort and using my mind creatively! ^_^
