"Hmm, it's alright, though let me straighten out a few points. Your definition is alright, but remember, Fire is basically like super heated chakra, that isn't always released from the mouth. A powerful element, and usually seen as an untameable one. You being an Uchiha, it will be your specialty. Some Fire based jutsu are manipulated to travel through the ground or released in the form of a flammable ash, some are shot as projectiles from the user's hands!"
Dean then takes out a bottle of sake, and takes a sip. All this talking makes him thirsty.
"Your combinations, Fire can also be combined with the basic elements. The most common combination is Fire and Wind, which is very effective, so do take it to mind. Now I am going to tell you of ranks of jutsu. They range from D rank to S rank (Forbidden is after S rank, but not relevant at the moment.) With D rank being the weakest, and S rank, the most powerful. The higher the rank, the higher the chakra cost and damage it causes.
The higher the rank, the more powerful the jutsu. So a A rank Fire would overcome a C rank Fire because it's higher ranked and more chakra has been used to create it. This doesn't mean higher rank always wins though, let's look at the scale of a jutsu.
Say I make a small water bullet which is A rank, and shoot it at my opponent, and he counters by blasting me with a B rank huge fireball. The size of the fireball would engulf that small water bullet even though it's higher ranked and also weak to water! Weird huh. That's why size matters! Just an example though. Any questions? And don't be afraid to ask."
Dean smiles as he waits for an answer.
