*Cue scene*

*Camera turns sharply 90 degrees to the left, showing a handsome man standing with certain ferocity and confidence about him*

BOOOM ITS LANCER!!!

*Crowd Cheers*

He approaches you and looks you straight in the eyes, as he is about to talk.

Fire, right? Boy, when I first start, fire was my favorite element, and it really is a special element. Known for its destructive capabilities and uses in hardcore offensive properties. Before we start this whole lesson, I want you to explain to me, why you want to learn fire release, and why you so happen to like it.

Hiccup starts catching his breath, at the sudden appearance of le senpai.

I'd like to learn Katon.... because I know how useful it is in battle. Like how the techniques are, how they work, their forms, and stuff. I really like Katon for a number of reasons. Maybe it is because I like red. Or maybe it is because of the One Piece character Portgas D Ace. Or maybe it is the song "This Girl is On Fire". Maybe it is because I like hot things. Maybe, just maybe, that is why I like Katon.

Lancer listens to his students rather strange answer :|

You mention "maybe", but why "maybe". I never asked why might you like fire, I ASKED WHY DID YOU LIKE FIRE! WHY DO YOU WANT TO LEARN IT!?! WHAT MAKES IT USEFUL, IN YOU'RE OPINION!!!??!??!


Lancer then calms himself down, while drinking some of his green tea (shout-out to Adachi)

Now give me an answer worth listening to!

Lel sorry, that's how I write in stuff.

Sorry senpai. I would like to learn Katon because I know how useful it is in battle. Like how the techniques work, how strong, and their forms. I really like Katon for a number of reasons. One, I like the color red. It's not my favorite, but I still like it. Two, I like hot stuff. Whatever hot it is, I like hot stuff. Third, Katon was shown to be a cool element, and most movies or animes use fire as their main power, like the Human Torch, Natsu Dragneel, etc. That's why I like to learn Katon sir, and why I like Katon.

OOC: <_< Red is my favorite color to >_> Don't tell Lancer that- his favorite is emerald

Anyway, it seems like you like the element through more cosmetic means, which is not bad but will require more in depth explanation in its usage and ability. Making teaching much more fun for me and not for you :)

Now, let's get the basics out of the way first. I want you to tell me what elements are weak to fire and strong to it. This also includes KG and HA. Use this for help. I would also like a brief explanation on why these are weak/strong to fire.


Lancer waits and expects a good answer U_U

As seen in the chart, Fire is normally weak against water as water puts off fire. Wind is normally weak against fire as
wind makes the fire stronger. But, if the wind is in a higher level, wind can put out fire.

Boil Release, Scorch Release, and Lava Releas are the kekkei genkais related to Fire Release. Blaze Release is a more advanced version of Katon. Katon is also a component of the kekkei tota, Dust Release.

Boil Release is weak to wind. Fire and Lightning are neutral. It is weak to Earth.

Scorch Release is weak to Earth and Lightning. It is weak to Water in double amount. It is normally weak against Wood, Storm, Steam and Boil.

Lava Release is weak to Lightning and its variations. Water is neutral. Earth and Fire are its strengths.

Blaze Release is simply like Katon, the difference is Blaze Release makes up Amaterasu, a stronger version.

Dust Release is neutral to Bijuu/Chakra techniques and Lightning, while strong against Fire, Wind, Water, and Earth.

I want you to find every KG and HA that are weak or strong against fire when used. So that includes basically everything on the list. I did like however you mentioned the KG fire is associated with, and because of that we will not be going through that section of training. No re-do the task as I told you xD

Lel sorry. Sorry.

Fire is weak against these:

Water, because it puts it out
Rain, because rain puts out fire
Lava, because Fire simply makes Lava hotter
Storm, as its water contents put out fire
Dark, absorption ability
Dark, Release Ability because Fire does not have the contents to defeat Dark
Steam, because Fire can be doused with enough steam
Sand
Dust.

Fire is neutral against these:
Earth
Lightning
Wood
Ice, because Fire melts ice, but the melted water puts out fire
Boil
Paper ninjutsu

Fire is strong against these:

Wind, it makes the fire grow bigger
Shadow, because it somehow represents light
Bug, burn them!

Damn those bugs <_< Burning is not enough >_>, smothering them in hellfire would be best

Anyway, seems rather complete, good job. Now give me three names of famous shinobi who have learned to harness fire release to the fullest extent. Where they resign from and any small info would be appreciated.

1. Sasuke Uchiha.
He is one of the Uchihas who have Blaze Release. He has shown fluent use of Amaterasu, and has used Fire Release: Fireball Jutsu when he wasn't a genin still.

2. Hiruzen Sarutobi
He is able to use all of the five basic elements. As a member of the Sarutobi clan, he has shown great knowledge of Katon.

3. Uchiha Itachi
He was shown to be able to use Amaterasu, in long terms.

Additionaly, Uchihas and Sarutobis are naturally good with the use of Katon.

Great job, I like how you mentioned the Uchiha and Sarutobi clan. They indeed have a great grasp on the element of fire and because of this, I would recommend you to study some of their usages. Now, some interaction. Pick which lesson you would like to start off with first.

- Explanation and analyzes on the different kind of releases for the element. (Projectiles, Streaming, etc etc)
- Explanation and analyzes on the different kind of forms for the element. (Ash, Gas, etc)

I'm sorry for the delay, I was busy and I had to look at everything to get fire down. So there are two specific ways to release fire. Since it is the most stale of the elements in the manga, which is something I hate but is the case for most.

Projectile Release
This is the art of releasing a technique in a separate manner, what I mean by this is simple, after you release it, it moves without you're control anymore. Think of it this way, when you throw a shuriken at an opponent, it will move at the pathway you aim and stay lock onto that trajectory. Same can be said with fire, an example could be by releasing a fireball at the opponent. After you send it to them, it becomes a projectile and out of you're control. So anything that moves on its own, acts on its own, and active or stabilized on its own can be considered projectile.

Streaming release
This is the exact opposite of projectiles. Here when you release a technique, you will remain focused on it and disrupt the chakra evenly into a stream-like manner. Consider it like this, I send out from my mouth a a stream of fire, almost like a flame-thrower, it will evenly continue to be released until it makes contact with the target. Concentration is key here. So any technique where you would need to focus on the movement or release, it is streaming. Consider this sentence when looking at the technique; Streaming chakra evenly throughout the technique.

Also realize, in some cases like- wind, water, or earth, those can be released through a specific source, I call it elemental source release, basically jutsus that come out a preexisting source (Water jets being released from a lake, spikes emerging from the ground,etc etc). Fire, it is much less common, so I will not be grouping that in fire. The most is fire coming out from the ground, we will just link those in projectiles or streaming. Realize most fire techs come out the body, hence the reason. Any questions before we start quizzing ;)?

Advantages
—Well, I think that releasing projectiles are faster. You can focus on another move after you sent out your projectile jutsu. Also, once you threw your projectile, it stays on that route. Like, I sent a fireball in my left, it stays on my left. I guess that's it, faster, doesn't need to much focus after releasing, and stays on the way you threw it.

Disadvantages
—When you throw your projectile, you can't control it. Like I threw a fireball at you, and you throw a water wall, I can't change where it's going. It stays there, making it easy to counter.

projectiles when it comes to traveling would be considered no faster the a stream, what makes it quick is its usage with combos. Since you can immediately send another technique after sending a projectile, hence why it is "quick", our RP focuses speed off of three things.

- Time Frame
- Speed Chart
- And elemental nature, however this is extremely limited and lenient. Some elements are considered quicker then others, however Time Frame and speed chart are the two main basis and those two takes priority in a fight.

Projectiles are also easy to track, you can easily not only overpower it but even evade it with the usages of other techniques. Other then that, you got the basis right. Good job.

Now look at the streaming and do the same what are the advantages and disadvantages?

Advantages
—Completely the opposite. So, you can change the jutsu's course. Example, I send fire out of my mouth, and my enemy creates a water wall. I can change its course to go over the water wall. So, it is a pain to dodge.

Disadvantages
—Slower than projectile. If you use streaming, you have to focus on where it is going, unlike projectile. Meaning you don't have the time to watch out for sneak attacks etc.

Some fire techniques, like madara's signature techniques spread in a wide screen as they are released, so that would not apply. Also, some fire stream technique might not allow exactly how you explain it, you can move lets say for example a thin stream of fire left to right, but not the actual tip of the fire around an object, at least not to my knowledge. I have not heard around of it that way, I'm sure there is one canon technique in fire that does that but not all may apply. I'll ask around just to be sure.

Same thing applies^ projectiles and streams in most cases move at the same speed. No other way put it unless stated above. I liked how you mentioned the snick attack part, that is a huge deal, it is quite tough for someone to notice anything if they are streaming a blazing inferno of fire and aiming it, now isn't it? Projectile technique counters are also prone to two things, either blocking them or trying to disrupt an opponents/users focus on them. However I would just block them, don't take a risk to distract or force an opponent to lose focus, the technique might be too fast and this might kill you before you have time to react in such a way.

Any questions?
