Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40 - 25 per turn
Damage: N/A
Description: Inspired by draconic mythos, this technique seeks to imitate the legendary beings that were fabled to have been fire made flesh. Through a surge of chakra the user will activate a technique that, courtesy of having no purpose on its own, is instant and can therefore be performed in the same timeframe as the following technique. The technique, once activated, serves to alter future fire techniques; as the flames of the utilised fire technique flourish into existence they will immediately exude copious amounts of ash. The released ash will immediately compress into the shape of a dragon, mimicking the visage of oriental or western dragons to the users liking. The dragons, made of black superheated ash, are self sustaining and can roam the battlefield freely; furthermore, like clones they are sentient, and are capable of acting in the users best wishes or according to their commands. However the user will always maintain absolute control over a Dragon's sentience, capable of stripping it - rendering the dragon a mere projectile attack, or passively destroying the dragon should they so wish. While the dragons are birthed from fire techniques they do not directly affect the power of the mother technique, instead they coat it, like an armour, with the ashes strength being a replica of the fire technique that birthed it. The dragons however cannot exist separately from their source fire technique which, like a heart, will exist at the core of the ash dragon - heating the ash even further. Should the flame be extinguished, they too will die, and as such techniques that can directly strike at the flames while bypassing the draconic exterior are particularly effective at snuffing out the lives of these legendary beings. Should the dragon exterior be destroyed however, the housed flames will be free to violently burst out as either a unidirectional or omnidirectional attack. Dragons are capable of attacking with either fang or claw, can fly regardless of design and, being made of condensed and superheated ash are capable of carving through earth and lesser techniques like a knife through hot butter, although the user will be capable of interacting with the Dragons freely and without consequence. This is due to a crest that will form upon the users chest upon the creation of their first dragon - the crest, an ornate black necklace made of sculpted ash, marks the user as the 'Unburnt' and acts as the medium of the sustaining of this technique - should the crest be destroyed then this technique will end too, however made of ash, the crest is virtually immune to any technique that will smash or break it apart, as it can simply reform, instead techniques that burn it from existence will work, such as equal or stronger fire or lightning, (So S rank and above) while water, the natural enemy of fire, will also be effective in its destruction. A dragon can, at the command of the user, fuse its body with its flaming heart and adopt explosive properties, then at will, the dragon will be capable of exploding in a violent blast of heat and fire that will affect the area short range around it - to signify this change the dragon will turn gold. (The explosion will always be angled away from the user, thus a dragon could surround the user and explode outwards as a defensive blast, and can be made unidirectional too - reaching up to mid range in a specific direction). This fusion will not combine the damage of the separate techniques, they will simply adopt the damage of the stronger jutsu.
Notes:
- If the crest is completely destroyed then this technique ends, however for as long as the crest persists this technique, too, will remain active. However after four turns it will crumble and fade away, signifying the jutsus end.
- Once this technique is over, the user is incapable of using Fire techniques above A rank for the rest of, and the next turn.
- Dragons are capable of harnessing the furnace that functions as their heart to release bursts of flame from their mouth or body, however should they use up all of the flames of the original fire technique they will crumble an die.
- Can only be used 2x, with a three turn cooldown between uses. (Cooldown begins when the technique ends.)
- Works on techniques that can logically be affected, such as streams - forming long serpentine like dragons, fireballs, bursts of fire and so on. In the case of multiple projectiles making up a single technique, multiple smaller, weaker dragons will likewise be produced. Logically, it will not work on gas and ash fire techniques.
- Cannot be utilized on Forbidden ranked fire techniques, nor can it be used alongside the canon 120 damage fire technique 'Great Fireball Shower'.
- The ash that creates the dragons is obviously incombustible
- The crest is part fuuin, part fire
- Can only be used by Scaze
