Wall of Flames
Three advantages (no obvious ones, be creative):
1. By combining with wind, it can create a powerful, burning wind technique
2. If I can somehow throw it under my opponent, it engulfs them in a large wall of fire
3. It can obstruct my opponent's vision f me, allowing me time to prepare something which takes preparation, or to travel underground to surprise attack (once I learn the technique)
Three disadvantages (no obvious ones, be creative):
1. I need to have a lighter to use it
2. When my vision of my opponent is obstructed, a simply straight-forward attack can take me by surprise
3. If I throw it too close, or my opponent pushes it back towards me, I may get burned by my own technique
Strategies and combinations: Well, by shooting some water at the fire wall, I can create a thick steam which can prove to cover everything and block my opponent's vision quite well. Or follow up with a barrage of small senbon after throwing the lighter and having it detonate mid-air, creating a sudden bright light to distract my enemy. Or I'd throw the lighter into the air and let it detonate mid-air. Then, as the lighter blows up into a wall of flame, I shoot a ball of wind through the large, spread-out wall of fire, the wind sucking in all of the flame and making use of the entire technique to fully power it as it goes towards my opponent.
How you would counter it: Shoot a sharp blade of wind through the wall. Even though conflicting fire and wind shouldn't mix together, this fire is stationary, and as such I think it should be usable by the enemy as well, so one may as well take advantage of that by sending a flaming, cutting blade of wind towards the person who created the flame wall.
How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): *I hold the lighter in my hands, and I flick it on once to make sure that it's still functional and has proper fuel. Letting the flame die out, I focus my chakra control to send my heated katon chakra into my hand, and from my hand into the fluid within my lighter. As the fluid becomes filled with my chakra, I flick the igniter and light a small flame, before tossing the small container away from myself. As the container lands on the ground, the sudden shock of the movement stopping disturbed my chakra in the lighter, my body no longer being able to regulate the chakra within, and as my katon chakra within the lighter became disturbed, it began to ignite the aggravated fluid (aggravated by my chakra), causing the rapid ignition and, ultimately, explosion of the lighter itself, the she
Running Fire
Three advantages (no obvious ones, be creative):
1. It runs along the ground, making counter-attacking while defending difficult
2. It can easily be combined with wind to create a towering vortex of inferno
3. It's versatile and can run along the ground as well as go through the air
Three disadvantages (no obvious ones, be creative):
1. The flames themselves aren't very effective when on the ground, mainly only used for trapping an opponent if not used with wind
2. As the flames move towards the target, they have a set travelling speed, and give off light so that one can see the flame coming and have ample time to react
3. Going into the air is an easy defense against this technique, which most of the time doesn't require a lot of chakra
Strategies and combinations: Distract the opponent with a higher attack (maybe a kunai), then make the flames run along the ground to trap them. Then finish with a wind technique to create a towering inferno
How you would counter it: When used in the air, a good water technique shoulde be fine. When coming at me from the ground, certain earth techniques which raise or lower the ground the flame is traveling on can increase the time it would take the flame to get to me, allowing me to counter-attack before my opponent can completely hit me with the flame.
How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): *Making the tiger handseal, I focus katon chakra into my lungs, inhaling and mixing the air with the hot chakra, before moving the air into my mouth and exhaling the chakra/air mixture. As my breath leaves my mouth, the violent chakra in my breath reacts with the cool air outside my body and causes a spontaneous combustion, making it so that the air I breathe becomes like fire. The thin stream of fire then hits the ground, which i force it to travel towards a dummy, and branch off into two streams as it meets the dummy. The two streams curve around it, via my shape manipulation, and then meet behind the dummy to form a ring of flames around it. After surrounding the dummy, I cause three sections of the circle, equally spread apart from one another, to shoot flame from the ring itself inwards towards the dummy, hitting its feet and traveling up its legs, sending it up in flame.*
Dragon Fire Technique
Three advantages (no obvious ones, be creative):
1. As this technique can be used along any type of "long object", one could say that when clashing swords, I could breath flame down my blade, which then goes down my opponent's blade and harms him
2. One could miss with the kunai/shuriken/whatever has the cord on purpose in order to distract the opponent into not defending (because they don't have to), and then ignite the cord as they pull said cord towards the opponent
3. Ninja Wire is rarely seen, and as such the user can send flame along a pre-determined path which may be invisible to the target
Three disadvantages (no obvious ones, be creative):
1. Most kunai/shuriken/anything which can carry wire will be blocked, making it difficult to get the wire close enough to attack with
2. The technique can be defended in freeform, assuming the flame travels down a wire, by cutting said wire so the flame can't travel anymore
3. The required handseals make it difficult to use in close-quarters, or as a quick, last-second type technique
Strategies and combinations: When fighting in an enclosed space, I could cover the entire room with weapons with ninja wires attached to them, with certain wires crossing each other just because of how the set-up would be. Then I could ignite the entire room in one technique (making it look like the air is on fire if the opponent can't see the wires). I could also do the same thing in a forest with trees.
How you would counter it: Don't let kunai get near me, whether I can see the wire or not. Or if I can see the flame already coming towards me, try and cut the wire, or move the medium the flame is traveling on away from myself with any appropriate technique (freeform, if at all possible).
How you perform it (with as much detail as you can): *I take four kunai, with Ninja Wire tied to the rings, and throw them towards your clone, aiming to miss him, but only barely miss him. As the kunai fly by his sides and land stuck in the ground behind him, I hold each Ninja Wire between my fingers. Forming the four handseals, I focus my katon chakra in my lungs as I inhale. Moving the chakra/air into my mouth, I hold the ends of the wire up to my mouth, and begin to exhale the air, which violently reacts with the air to form flame which ignites the wire, and travels down their lengths. As the flame passes down the wire by your clone's side, it ignites his clothing and sets him ablaze.*
