Katon with Akihiko Sensei

[Tao]

First of all it will cause pain to my opponent.
Since explosions are bright and flashy, they will blind him.
Also they are very loud, what affects the hearing.
As for smelling, maybe the smell of burnt flesh...
And I don't have any idea what they taste like xd

All in all explosions will affect at least most of his senses which makes my opponent vulnerable, since it will be hard to focus on the fight.
It should also have a big psychological impact on him, when all his senses go crazy. I guess it would cause fear and insecurity.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent. I like how you put psychological effects in your post as well, good job. ^_^

( Bakuhatsu Enhogan ) – Exploding Flame Shots
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user shoots multiple fire shots from their hands that are able to cause fiery explosions on impact with any object. The shots can't set the opponent on fire, though they can cause damage by exploding on him.

Now...
Please proceed to create a fireball in the same way you've done before. However, focus your chakra into the middle of this fireball to give it an explosive nature.
Then, proceed to send it directly at my clone, exploding on impact.

 

[Tao]

*I start by focusing my fire chakra within my stomach. When I have gathered enough chakra I channel it through my lungs and mouth. Aiming at the chest of your clone, I start to release my chakra in form of flames until I created a big fireball. I focus the used chakra into the middle of the fireball to cause an explosion as soon as it hits your clone*

 

[Adachi]

Good. Remember what I said about explosions earlier, only that this is on a bigger scale. It's very huge and also hides you in the process.

Description: The user after performing two hand seals Horse → Tiger exhales a meteor-sized sphere of fire that carries the enemy away and causes a massive explosion on impact.

Now much like the jutsu that required you to jump into the air, this one does also.
Proceed to charge chakra into your feet to propel yourself into the air, releasing three giant bullets of fire as you do so at my clone. These should be like meteors coming down towards my clone, causing an eruption as they hit him.
1. Where do you aim the bullets of fire?
2. What is the purpose of jumping in the air before this jutsu?

 

[Tao]

*I start by molding a big amount of fire ckara within my body. Then I charge part of it into my feet to push myself into the air. While moving upwards I channel the rest of the gathered fire chakra into my mouth and release it in short but powerful burst to form 3 giant flaming bullets, that I aim at different targets: One of them is aimed directly at your clone's chest, the other two at the ground right in front of him (one slightly to his left, the other to his right side). All three bullets of fire come down towards your clone and erupt as soon as they hit him/the ground.*

I think the purpose of jumping in the air before releasing this jutsu is to change the angle of the bullets. It could also give me the possibility to use this zoning you mentioned once, by placing the eruptions around him.
I'm not too sure though :shrug:

 

[Adachi]

Yes, this allows for direct impact from the sky (also, remember the law of gravity, objects falling down often have greater impacts) and it also allows you to avoid earth jutsus at the same time. (Two-in-one actually). Lastly, it gives you a better field of vision on the battlefield. Zoning definitely comes into play, well done. ^_^

Description: The user jumps in the air and shoots three giant bullets of fire that come down like giant meteors, then erupt into a geyser of flame.

We are nearly done with Fire. For this next one, please proceed to spit out Fire Chakra once again in the form of gas (free-flowing molecules). Then, guide this ash towards my clone, causing it to surround him.
When it does so, give you and I time to run away...then click your teeth and cause the ash to explode! O_O

 

[Tao]

It's a pretty awesome jutsu
Now...

*I focus my fire chakra while remembering properties of gas. Then I channel my fire chakra through my mouth and release a hot cloud of ash that quickly moves towards your clone. Since ash very light it will stay in the air, where I can manipulate it to surround him. When your clone is copletely surrounded by the cloud of hot ash I start running.*

Come on Sensei or you'll be toast

*When the distance between us and the clone is big anough, I click my teeth and cause the ash to explode. The explosion is huge and as soon as the smoke clears, your clone is gone.*

 

[Adachi]

OH NO, MY CLONE! Okay, so this jutsu was utilized by Asuma in the Naruto manga series. It's actually a very fast jutsu - the smoke should be exhaled and pressurized fast enough so that you would be able to cause the explosion in time.

Let's actually discuss the smoke a bit. Much like Smoke Bombs and Hidden Mist no Jutsu, what do you think the purpose of it would be?

 

[Tao]

Well, it hides the user from his opponent, since his sight will be blocked. This could be used to retreat or to prepare another jutsu without being interrupted.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent. So if your opponent is wanting to come into short range to strike you with a jutsu, using this jutsu would momentarily blind them and hurt their eyes as well.

( Katon: Haisekishō ) - Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user spews superheated ash from their mouth after performing four handseals. The ash is hot enough to cause third-degree burns on the victim. Because it's composed entirely of ash, it stays in the air around the victim like a cloud. If the user clicks his teeth, the stagnant ash will ignite, creating a violent explosion.

Now, this next jutsu is what Sasuke did to allow Kirin.
Proceed to store up fire within your chest then release it in a huge fireball (with the head of a dragon and should be about your body size, big enough to hide you).
Why would fire stir up the clouds?

 

[Tao]

*I focus my fire chakra within my chest until I've gathered a big amount of it. Then I build up pressure and release a big fireball from my mouth, manipulating it to the form of a dragon's head. The dragon is big enough to hide me and burns the ground below him.*

I'm sure I'll mix some things up but let me try ^_^
I think the air pressure around the flame will decrease, while it would increase several meters above it, because heat rises up. So the air is heated up and rises towards the clouds...the high pressure would stir them up. Also I think to remember something about warm air and cold air meeting, causing static charge. If I'm correct it would be a good setup for kirin... don't know if all of it made sense though xd

 

[Adachi]

By the way, sir, I must say I really am liking that Shikamaru avatar. My favorite Naruto character. ^_^ Do you GFX, by any chance?
---
I believe that you are correct in your statement, and tornadoes also form on a similar concept.

But let's describe this jutsu now.
Firstly, there are no restrictions regarding how many fireballs you can make, so feel free to make as many humanely and rationally possible. Secondly, I used this in my last bio test against my opponent.
There's a reason for the size of this jutsu, particular because it is able to cover a ninja's presence.
How would you aim this jutsu in such a way your opponent would see nothing but a wall of fireballs coming towards him, even successfully blocking his peripheral view?

 

[Tao]

Thank you ^_^ I don't really have a favourite character but Shikamaru is awesome! And yes, I do =DD
---
I guess I would release like three fireball, one right in front of me, one slightly to my left side and one to my right. Then I would aim them straight at my opponent with a flight path parallel to the ground.

 

[Adachi]

O:! Would you perhaps mind making me an avatar sometime? I'll be frank, I Googled all of mine. xD Signatures too.
---
Well done. Blocking the peripheral vision is an important aspect of completely distracting your opponent's awareness of you.

Rank: B
Type: Offense/Supplementary
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user fires several large dragon-shaped fireballs at their opponent after performing one handseal. It is able to alter localized weather conditions to the point of making thunder clouds when shot into the air, enabling the user to perform Kirin.

So, now, proceed to take these Shurikens and before you throw them, infuse them with fire chakra.
However, unlike the D-rank jutsu, with your upgraded experience and knowledge of Fire, these Shurikens should continue to inflame and burn the area they strike, much like Amaterasu.
Toss them at my clone, please. ^_^ State how many you use and where you aim them.

 

[Tao]

Sure, if you give me some details (like the character, size, colors, border) I can start right away since I'm not busy at the moment ^_^ actually I just found some amazing fan art of shikamaru =DD
---
*I take the shurikens from you, hold them between the fingers of my right hand and channel my fire chakra into them. Targetting your clone I perform a swinging movement with my right arm. Then I throw 8 Shurikens and ignite them when I release them. They hit your clone, covering his upper body and head, but they won't stop burning after the impact. Instead the infused chakra keeps inflaming them.*

 

[Adachi]

That's where I'm kind of dumb. I have no idea what type of resolutions NB allow, etc, I'm pretty much a dumb-dumb when it comes to GFXing and Photoshop, haha, so feel free to do what you think might look great. ^_^ I have some great pictures of Kiritsugu (the current guy in my avatar), if you don't mind GFXing one a bit.

Excellent job. That's a lot of agony you've caused there, haha.

( Katon: Hōsenka Tsumabeni ) - Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user unleashes a volley of shuriken with one hand, while at the same time exhaling fire-infused chakra onto them in order to increase the weapons' destructive potential by making them capable of inflicting severe burns upon direct contact with either the intended victim or any other object caught within their trajectories. Due to the chakra-based nature of the flames that surround them, the shuriken will continue to burn after impact, regardless of the flammability of the object that they ultimately collide with.

Now, much like creating the Dragon Fire heads earlier, release your fire chakra in such a way so that you form ghosts of fire that fly over to my clone and begin doing a merry-go-round around his body.
What might be the purpose of such a jutsu?

 

[Tao]

*I gather my fire chakra within my lungs. When I feel I focused enough chakra, I start releasing it in the form of five flmes that are shaped like ghosts. These ghosts fly towards your clone and then circle around him. As they do so, they keep burning and release great heat at your clone.*

If this jutsu is successful the enemy will be trapped inside the circle of ghosts. He will also suffer from the heat they release and his vision wil at least be impaired.

 

[Adachi]

Yep, and let's not mention how dizzy he gets. xD

Description: After performing the Tiger hand seal the user will manipulate their chakra releasing several fire ghosts that are like heads with horns and yellow eyes that then attack the target/s in a swarm.

Mkay, much like the concept earlier, proceed to build up fire chakra in your chest and then release it in a quick and pressurized burst towards my clone's feet. Once it hits the ground, it should erupt into a large pillar of flame.
What kind of purpose do you think such a tall flame might serve?

 

[Tao]

lol Yeah xd
Would being dizzy affect the time he needs to release jutsus? I'd guess not but that would be cool xD

*I focus my fire chakra inside my chest and build up pressure. The I exhale the chakra I a quick burst and aim it at the feet of your clone. When it hits the ground underneath him, it erupts into a huge flaming pillar, launching your clone into the air.*

While in the air, your clone/my opponent would be more vunerable and an easy target.

 

[Adachi]

Well, being dizzy is more of a psychological effect. It would affect his vision and his rational mind, so it would also affect the aim of his jutsus.
Mkay, so fire can't really launch people into the air as it is not exactly solid like Water or Wind and lacks the force to do so. By the time your opponent is in the air, he would be burnt into a crisp. O_O
This pillar is more like a defensive/offensive jutsu that is about three meters high. Can you think of uses for such a jutsu?
