Kakuzu casually strolls towards his newest disciple as he lights the cigar placed upon his lips. Smoking, another one the bad habits he picked up from his former Katon teacher, the infamous Shinon Nara.
So, you've come to learn Fire Release from me? Understand it will be no walk in the park, it is one of the hardest elements to tame. Why don't want we start with the basics? What do you know of the Katon element?

Yes sensei.
The Fire Release element is one that focuses on destructive ability through the manipulation of Fire. Due to the form it takes, it has few defensive uses. Luckily this is made up for by it's sheer power. Another downside is that because this element is one of the two inherently dangerous elements even when not weaponized, the other being Raiton, is that it requires a great amount of chakra control, and chakra in general, to use properly.

Kakuzu listens attentively to his students recollection of Fire release, taking note that his student has seen a few battles or has done some basic research.
"Not bad, your current level knowledge on Katon is something to work with. However, you missed one of the essential things about the element and that it's interaction with other "Releases". Its weakness to Water is a given as the liquid extinguishes the flames and its strength to Wind is derived from the fact that it preys on the oxygen in the air to further enhance itself. One thing to note is that while Wind strengths fire via the mechanism I just explained, it doesn't mean that Fuuton is useless against Katon. Too much wind will extinguish a flame (imagine a candle being ousted by a powerful breeze). Not only that but when the Wind is moving in an opposite direction to the Fire, it will similarly weaken rather than fortify the flames. I'll give you a run down of all of the basic elements (especially Katon), to flesh out your understanding. Make sure to commit this to memory, it will be useful knowledge for the future. Once you've read and understood the following, we will continue."
Fire Release is the usage of superheated chakra to create flames and heat-intensive attacks. Its created through channeling Katon chakra to the user's lungs and exhaling the built chakra in various forms. Katon is most commonly used in its fire-based form, but it can also take the shape of a plume of superheated ash or a misty flammable gas. In terms of raw potential, its considered the least versatile element as it excels in offensive capabilities, lacks in supplementary usage and is ill-suited to use as a defensive element. Despite this, Katon is the most ferocious element to contend with due to its sheer raw power. The heat of the element makes it capable of reducing earthen structures to molten mud, the parasitic nature of it means it preys on the oxygen within wind-based attacks to supplement the flames and even against its elemental superior, large-scale Katon techniques are capable of reducing large bodies of water to scorching mist of dense steam. The Katon element has little usage outside of destruction, to a certain degree its the hardest elemental nature to tame due to its sporadic and uncontrollable nature.

Wind Release is the element that allows us to create and manipulate wind. When you think of wind you think of something that is fast, free flowing, unpredictable, and strong. In the Narutoverse and in our RP, wind release has a variety of different properties which makes it versatile in its own right. For one, we have the ability to create long and short powerful gusts of flowing wind. Mainly these techniques that are designed to provide resistance against oncoming attacks, reversing the trajectory of weaponry, etc. We can also create short concentrated/compressed bursts of wind that give a pseudo solid form which can be used for blunt force or strong impacts. These would mainly be offensive in nature. There is also vacuum or suction power that can be generated, drawing objects in for close combat or sucking away the oxygen for suffocation. However, one of the more prominent abilities of wind release that we’ve come to know from the Narutoverse is the powerful cutting power that it possesses. Mainly from characters like Naruto, Asuma, and Sora, the wind nature has been shown to be able to slice and cut through things like butter. Wind is the movement of many gases in the air, though we’ve been shown to manipulate just the air itself and call it wind release by comparison due to the relationship.

Water is the most calm and free-flowing elements. These characteristics dictate its nature, making it useful in combat due to the fluidity and intense lack of control that is required to utilize it. Lightning and Fire take extreme control, but manipulation of water takes calmer movements and so controlling it comes more naturally. While its the calmest element, it can also become one of the most destructive. Putting a large amount of force behind of wave gives it power that can't be paralleled by all the other elements. In terms of scale, Water has the highest potential to be the "best" element, a clear testament of this is Kisame of the Akatsuki. Water comes in three main forms: normal water, sticky water and oily flammable water.
Lightning Release is the use of high frequency and is the most fleeting of all the elements. It arguably takes the most control due to its dangerous nature and the lethality it possess. The interaction of the molecules within it, further contribute to its level of instability, requiring the user to take much more care in handling this element compared to the others. Fundamentally, its the control over raw streams of electricity which can be tamed with the right control, it relates most to the Fire element due to its destruction if not contained or used properly and the high level of self-control someone requires to manipulate it correctly. One common misconception is that Lightning release travels as fast as natural lightning, when in reality Lightning is far slower than its naturally occurring counterpart due the user taking control of/taming the lightning. The element itself occurs in three main forms: Normal Lightning, Plasma and pale-blue pillars which emit electricity.
Earth Release is often considered the element of sturdiness and durability. Unlike other elements which come and go with time, it is an ever eternal presence in the environment which endures all types of weather regardless of how harsh conditions become. Earth can be used as a shield or blockade defensively to dissipate the force of powerful waves of water or non-cutting gusts of wind. It can withstand great heats, acting as a heat sink but also as a physical barrier to prevent weapons passing through. Its strong against water, its natural ability to prevent water from passing through it whilst passing through water itself is a reason for this. However its weak against lightning. The lightning conducted along the earth causes it to break up, lose its natural composition and break down due to the penetrative abilities of Raiton. Doton can either be used in this solid rocky form or its adhesive mud-like variant, granting the element further versatility. As well as the conventional uses of the element, the mud variant can be used to bind opponents in place, clash with other elemental jutsus or be used in many effective combinations. The mud-variant is most commonly used along with Fire to form pseudo-lava (molten mud), making for a very dangerous substance.
Along with Suiton, its versatility stems from the state of matter it naturally occurs in. Due to having physical substance, Doton can be shaped into various structures from defensive walls to jagged spikes, from an earth dragon to a single pillar of earth. Furthermore, in terms of terrain-based advantage, Doton can be used to manipulate the ground beneath and around the opponent, allowing for limitless potential in creating successful combos. I like to think of the element as the perfect balance between offensive, defensive and supplementary usage, as no confines exist on what the user can create.

"Ah, I see. So wind only makes fire stronger when from the same direction. Ok then. Should we learn a few of the basic Katon Jutsu?

We shall.
( Katon: Komakai Kaki ) - Fire Release: Small Fire
Alright, now step forward and stand across those set up dummies in the corner. Begin focusing your Katon chakra into your lungs, building up a sizable amount of superheated chakra before exhaling the built chakra in the form of a small fireball which has a short range reach. The goal is to use the fireball to strike the dummy in the center, causing it to set it alight and allow the fire to spread to the two dummies either side of it.
Key Points: Range is key in techniques. Notice how its a mid-range technique, so it has a fairly limited use in most fights.
( Ryu Kaen Bakufuu ) - Dragon Flame Blitz
Replicating the same process as before, I want you to build up enough Katon chakra for a technique of a similar scale. After building up the chakra, I want you to divdie it up into equal portions and exhale a small barrage of fireballs this time, the collective power of the volley of shots equaling that of the small fireball you released earlier. Fire the individual shots with separate trajectories (flight paths) by angling your head, so to maximize the amount of dummies destroyed by the single technique.
Key Points: Same as before concerning its range. One difference is, that techniques which release barrages, volleys and etc divide up the chakra of the original technique evenly. An S-Rank which releases multiple blades of wind, will mean that collectively all of the blades amount to an S-Rank, and not each individual blade being S-Rank in power.
1 Blade = S-Rank
2 Blades = A-Rank
4 Blades = B-Rank

Kirito, walking up to about 10 feet from the dummies, inhales a large amount of air, and mixes his katon chakra into it. By doing this, he feeds the chakra with oxygen to create a flame, and then he exhales, releasing a fireball the size of his head, towards the central dummies' chest. The impact blows apart some of the dummy material, and then sets it alight, and Kirito then snuffs out the flame by quickly focusing his doton chakra into a dome around the dummy, oxygen depriving the flame. Kirito then inhales again and adds katon chakra to the air in his chest, then exhales, this time though, distributing the chakra evenly into 4 smaller fireballs, and fires them at the remaining dummies, igniting them.
