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 was one of the hardest elements to tame. Why don't want we start with the basics ? What do you know of the Katon element ?
Tao gulped. He didn't knew much about fire and the man before him looked scary.
Um.. F- Fire is a strong elment. He began.
The smoke from Kakuzu's cigarette came into his eyes which blinded him.
Tao continued with his eyes shut and his head bowed:
I know fire is strong against such element as wind because the air feeds the flames.
But fire has his weakness against water because it cools and smothers them.
It is performed by moulding superheated chakra inside the stomach before releasing it via the lungs and mouth!
Tao opened one eye and slowly stand up straight. Damn nerves...
Kakuzu listens attentively to his fear-stricken student, as he utters a few sentences in reply to the broad question put before him.
"Tao, there is no need to fear me. In this situation I'm your teacher, not your foe. If it were otherwise, you'd be dead already. You answer was very basic, so 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.
Ironic such a timid boy wants to tame a fericous element such as Katon, he thought to himself.
That's more like it, now we'll move onto techniques.
( Katon: Komakai Kaki ) - Fire Release: Small Fire
Rank: D
Type: Offense
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: The user spews a small fireball.
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 short-range technique, so it has very limited use in most fights.
( Ryu Kaen Bakufuu ) - Dragon Flame Blitz
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user shoots balls of fire at the opponent.
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. One difference is, 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.
Right, Sensei! As Tao responded he quickly began gather his kanton chakra focusing it into his guts and slowly then forming 3 fire balls while doing so he is also manipulating the chakra in circles and increasing the heat. Then he start to move.
The first fire ball came quick up through his throat adding chakra around the walls of his throat and using some to push the fireball out in once. It gets to the mouth and as Tao feels the feelings he looks how to aim exact position. He concentrates while doing so and release the first fire ball.
~Done.
Tao gulped. A- Alright! He gather his fire chakra once again into his gut.
Then he manipulate the fire making it into a small ball.
He took a deep breath and exhale a small stream of fire from his mouth at the dummies.
He then uses chakra to push the fire ball up into his mouth.
Tao holds it for five seconds count, to put more chakra in it forming it into a very hot ball.
After the seconds he aims for the middle dummy again and release it.
The fire ball hits and begins burning.
~Done
Tao is exhausted and his mouth is burned a little. He fell on his knees as soon he was done. He bowed his head and tried to be manly.
How did I do, eh Sensei? He said softly while he turned his head.
( Katon: Kasumi Enbu no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Mist Blaze Dance Technique
Rank: D
Type: Offense/Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After performing the necessary hand seals Snake → Ram → Monkey → Tiger, the user is able to create and blow a flammable gas from their lungs. Once it comes in contact with fire or sparks, the gas ignites into a large fireball.
You must be registered for see images
Turn to face the group of dummies next to the ones you just destroyed and perform the following sequence of four handseals. Knead your katon chakra into your lungs, but this time instead of exhaling it in the form of superheated flames, envision yourself blowing out a pale flammable mist capable of being ignited externally. Attempt to replicate this in reality, surrounding the group of stuffed figures in a volatile mist. Do not ignite just yet, you'll do so using the next jutsu.
Key Points: Take care when using this jutsu. Its not directly offensive, so the opponent could spin on you by igniting the mist prematurely (as you are spewing it).
( Kaen Shuriken Ranbu ) - Blazing Shuriken Dance
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will throw several shuriken at the enemy and then inflames them with fire to cause extra damage.
Now, retrieve several shuriken from your ninja pouch and toss them in the direction of the mist, before exhaling small fireballs which inflame the small tools to create a barrage of fire-coated weapons. On coming into contact with the flames, the mist should explode into a large maelstrom of fire, completely incinerating anything in its area of effect.
Key Points: Not a bad jutsu, however a better and more powerful B-Ranked version exists.
As Tao listen he reacts to what has been asked of him, thus turning his face towards the group of dummies next to the ones he had just destroyed and began performing the following sequence of four hand seals. Snake → Ram → Monkey → Tiger!
He knead his katon chakra into his lungs, but this time instead of exhaling it in the form of superheated flames, he envision by blowing out a pale flammable mist capable of being ignited externally. He aims for the group dummies and spew his pale of flammable mist.
~ Done
Now that he had succeed the previous step, he quickly moved on to the next, while he listened to Sensei he retrieve a several shuriken from his ninja pouch and toss them in the direction of the mist, with the dummies standing about 3 meters from him he now starts gathering chakra into his stomach and molding it into katon chakra. After he finished with gathering and molding Tao start channeling it towards my mouth in which period he heat up chakra to make it as hot as possible. When chakra is in my mouth he take 3 shurikens with my right hand and quickly trow them at your clone at the same time just before releasing fire in direction of shurikens I use nature manipulation to convert it into fire. When shurikens came in contact with fire they become inflamed and there strength is bigger.
Ah, now onto the final D-Rank before we move onto the C-Rank techniques.
( Katon no Jutsu ) - Fire Release Technique
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will release a small but powerful flame of fire at their opponent.
In a similar manner to before, I want you to envision the nature of Fire release before channeling your katon chakra to your lungs and exhaling the built chakra as a small but potent flame towards the opponent. The one difference about this technique is, the fireball is capable of traveling a further distance (maximum of 15 meters).
Key Points: None, very basic technique.
( Katon: Shōkasou ) - Fire Release: Small Fire Stream
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will create a small short flame at the opponent. This flame is capable of making the target collapse due to the heat of the technique. This technique requires no handseals.
Now, I want you to repeat the same process as before only this time releasing the built katon chakra from your mouth in the form of a continuous stream, rather than a projectile with no connection to you. For the whole duration of the technique you will maintain the stream, before canceling it.
Key Points: Stream type jutsu require the user to maintain them through its use. Meaning you cannot fuse a stream-based fire technique with another e.g. a wind Technique, unless you have a clone or ally. This is because, the moment you proceed to use your 2nd jutsu, the jutsu you were previously streaming will cease in its use.
( Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After performing the necessary hand seals Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger, a ninja inhales air, and utilizing a large amount of fire chakra, spews a large fireball from their mouth after blowing through a ring made by the thumb and index finger of the user, incinerating everything in range. The fireball ignites externally.
You must be registered for see images
For the final technique, I want you to perform this ridicuously long sequence of handseals *displays handseals* before inhaling air and gathering a large amount of fire chakra in your lungs, before making a ring with your thumb and index finger and exhaling the technique through the opening. The fireball will ignite externally, so you will not suffer damage from this technique. Direct the fireball towards that group of dummies.
Key Points: Long handseal sequences in battle (longer than 4-5) usually mean your technique may be too slow. Stick to quick techniques in short range and slower ones in long range.
The last one! I can do this. >,< Tao said excited.
As he was full of excitement he concentrated well on what he was planning to do, before channeling his katon chakra he firstly calmed himself, he took a deep breath and gathered his katon chakra. Then he released it after holding it into his mouth and spew it maximum 15 meters away.
~ Done
As Tao listen to his first instruction of the C-rank jutsu, he begins to gather some chakra into his mouth and releases it in a short flame out of his mouth, straight before his own eyes.
*puff puff* Ah, let me tell you this:
Advantages: Well this jutsu is pretty nice, when the you hit your opponent with the flame it doesn't only hurt him but it also cause him to collapse thanks to the heat of the technique. I will also assume that if you don't hit your opponent but the flame travels close by him the heat of the technique would also cause him to collapse.
Disadvantages: It sucks that it can only be used in short range. The jutsu is not really hard to dodge or cancel out.
~ Done
After hearing the next instructions to successfully perform of the preview technique, Tao start manipulating chakra by gathering it, while at the same time he performs his hand seals while speaking out loud:
Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger.
As he finished his hand seals he inhales air by using the large amount of chakra he once gathered, then he fuse them together.
Quickly after doing that he places his right hand next his mouth and makes a ring made by thumb and index finger.
Once everything has been completed he quickly release from my mouth and through the ring a large fireball towards a dummy short range and once it makes contact with the dummy it burns it completely.
What do you think of that, eh Sensei. *puff* Oh.. There's something I want to add:
Advantages: It's really hard to come up with advantages since this is a simple technique but I could say that this fireball burns more than the other fireballs from the other techniques. Like the description says "The fireball ignites externally"
Disadvantages: Them hand seals. I just find it hard to successfully perform this technique without your opponent getting in your nerves, the technique can only be used in short range, imagine if you start performing this hand seals short range from the opponent, he could easily get you with taijutsu before you finish performing them.
Nicely done, onto the next set of techniques. Also, great work on taking the initiative to tell me strengths and weakness. These ones allow for a bit more variation compared to the conventional "I spew a fireball" type techniques.
( Katon: Kimuchi Amura ) - Fire Release: Wall of Flames
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary/Defence
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user first throws out a lighter that has an open flame.The user the turns the flame into a wall of fire used for protection or to burn small objects thrown towards him. This jutsu can be used with Hurricane Fist to create a combo jutsu.
For this first technique, you will need to purchase this lighter off me for a premium price of $4.99, before lighting it and tossing it in front of you (with its open flame intact). Focus your Katon chakra into the flame, turning it into a sizable wall of fire, which doubles as a useful offense and defense, causing the opponent to surface burn damage should they venture to close.
Key Points: The concept of this technique is interesting, useful for custom technique ideas.
( Katon: Hibashiri ) - Fire Release: Running Fire
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After performing the Tiger hand seal by utilizing their fire chakra, the user will create a stream of fire that can be manipulated into several forms (rings of fire that runs on the ground or a circle of fire flying through the air) before striking the target. It can also be used in combination with a suitable wind technique to release a massive inferno.
You must be registered for see images
After doing that, I'd like you to breath out a stream of fire which you will them manipulate to form several rings of fire on the ground around my clone, encasing him in a set formation, before using them to strike him to reduce him to a pile of ashes. If you know any wind jutsus, I'd like you to use a suitable C-Rank one to fuse with this technique, creating a larger more potent ring of fire.
Key Points: None really, a simple enough technique. The picture in the spoiler should clarify anything you want to know about it.
( Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user will perform four handseals Snake → Dragon → Rabbit → Tiger , and breathe fire along a cord or any other type of long object, which rushes forward in straight line catching the enemy on fire. A line of enemies can be used as the conductor as well. The flames are meant to target, and assault the enemy's upper body just like a projectile weapon.
You must be registered for see images
For the third and final technique, I want you to reterive some ninja wire from your pouch and use it to ensnare those dummies from a distance, firmly wrapping it around them. After doing so, perform four handseals and compress your Katon chakra into your lungs before exhaling along the cords, allowing the fire to "run" along the wire and assault the opponent.
Key Points: Watch out, wrapping the opponent with wire or anything which connects you to them leaves you vulnerable to electrical currents. The wire would act as a good conductor of electricity, making it easy for your opponent to paralyze you from a distance.
Tao start with focusing his chakra into his lungs. Next, he start channelling chakra towards his mouth and at the same time Tao tries to heat it up. When it is in my mouth, just before releasing it he uses his nature manipulation to convert it into fire as well as shape manipulation to convert it into a powerful flame of fire. After that he starts to release it from my mouth continuously at further distance.
~ Done.
After performing his last learned technique, he now starts again by gathering chakra into his stomach and converting it into fire nature chakra. After that he channel it towards my mouth. As it is in his mouth, and just before releasing it, he use nature manipulation to convert it into fire and shape manipulation to convert it into a stream as he release a continuous stream of fire.
~ Done.
The last one. Tao said while breathing out loud.
He once again begin by performing the needed hand seals for this particular technique: Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger. As Tao was performing the hand seals he start gathering chakra into his lungs. Next, he channel it towards his mouth and just after releasing hot air he put his index finger and thumb, in a ring shape, and attach them to my mouth and then he uses the nature manipulation to convert it into fire and of course after that he uses the shape manipulation to convert it into fire ball. As it hits the group of dummies, the fireball ignites externally and destroys them.
( Katon: Karyūdan ) - Fire Release: Fire Dragon Bullet
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user exhales a flame breath from their mouth after making one handseal. This technique can be used in conjunction with Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet to ignite the projectiles fired by the latter technique, making it more devastating.
First off, I want you to form one handseal whilst envisioning the nature of the Fire element. Gather a sizable portion of your superheated katon chakra into your lungs before exhaling it as a breath of flames. If you know this technique's Earth counterpart (Earth Dragon Bullet), utilize it directly afterwards, causing the two attacks to merge together into a devastating stream of mud. If you do not possess the technique, my rock clone here will aid you by performing it on your behalf.
Key Points: Nothing special at all about this technique.
( Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user first performs six hand seals Rat → Tiger → Dog → Ox → Rabbit → Tiger and they create a volley of small fireballs, which are sent flying in an unpredictable manner assaulting the enemy. In addition, the flames are controlled one by one with chakra, so avoiding them all is extremely difficult. Shuriken can also be concealed within the flames, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. Like the flames, the shuriken can be controlled with chakra. For the most part, however, this technique is used as a distraction.
You must be registered for see images
Now, here's the slightly upgraded version of a technique you attempted earlier. Perform a sequence of six handseals before focusing your katon-based chakra to your lungs. Exhale the built chakra as a volley of small fireballs, retrieving a few shuriken from your ninja pouch with your left hand and throwing them in the same direction as the fireballs. This will serve to conceal their presence, giving this attack a slight element of surprise. Both the flames and thrown shuriken can be controlled remotely through the use of chakra, allowing you to control their flight paths as they race towards the opponent.
Key Points:The six handseals is a big disadvantage for the technique, however overall its a decent addition to your arsenal.
( Katon: Honoo no Saigai Hi Kagayaku no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Flame of Disaster Fire Shine Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user releases a flame of fire chakra that converges on the opponent wrapping around them and burning them.
Last but not least, for this technique I would like you to channel your fire chakra to your lungs before releasing it in the form of a small flame towards my clone, using it to wrap around him before inflicting severe burn damage.
Key Points: Straight forward technique, nothing to say here.
Tao listened carefully as he start of performing his order Jutsu, by first gathering a good portion of superheated katon chakra into his lungs.
I- I don't know any Earth Justu's. Tao said a bit ashamed .
Tao looked at the rock clone Sensei pointed at. Mhum! He said when Sensei finished his expiation.
before exhaling it as a breath of flames.
As Tao was about to exhale his first technique he aimed splendid at the rock clone.
Now ! Tao said in his head as he breath out a fire full of flames, causing Sensei's rock clone to meld.
Yatttaaaaa!! It worked, Senseiii!~ Did, did, did you see that!?? Tao said exited and happy.
Advantages: Well if it's used with that earth technique, the earth projectiles become really hot. Since there so many projectiles, it makes it harder for the opponent to defend himself.
Disadvantages: The user can defend himself from this jutsu by simply creating an earth dome. The B-rank earth dome comes to mind.
After successfully performing the previous jutsu. Tao then again listen quiet-fully to the next instructions and after that, Tao quickly start performing a set of six hand seals speaking out loud:
Rat → Tiger → Dog → Ox → Rabbit → Tiger
While at the same time he gather a good amount of Katon chakra. After finishing all of that Tao releases from his mouth a volley of small fireballs. Thanks to his chakra infused with these small fireballs, he allows himself to manipulate them, control them and send them wherever he want.
Tao danced and jumped up and down. I diiid it againn!
Advantages: Pretty cool technique, with this jutsu I could target multiple people as well as control them and send them wherever I want. I can basically send a few right straight at my opponent while I send a few above him and some to both of his sides. This surrounds him and if they hit him, it should cause some damage. Also one of cool parts is that you can add a shuriken and control it as well.
Disadvantages: All the small fireballs = a C-rank jutsu, meaning that if I only hit my opponent with two of eight small fireballs, he wouldn't take that much damage. Now Tao calm yourself and perform the technique. Sensei said.
Yosh!! Tao answered.
To start off, Tao closes his eyelids and start to gather some Katon chakra which he quickly send to his mouth. This allows Tao to release from his mouth a flame of fire towards a dummy. Once Tao opens his eyes he breath out the fire out of his lungs and gets within short range of the dummy, he now manipulate the chakra inside the flame, this allows Tao to expand the flames around the dummy and surround him. The flames surrounding the dummy burn him to the point where he becomes crispy.
Now do I get a compliment? Tao said to Sensei with puppy-eyes.
Advantages: The flames once manipulated surround the opponent (s) which gives them three options: escape by going underground, by flying into the air, or release water around themselves canceling the flames.
Disadvantages: Once the flames surround the opponent, you lose vision of him, leaving you with a disadvantage.
Now we'll move onto the techniques. For this portion of your training, we'll be using my self-regenerating C-Rank Water golem as your test subject. I'm sure you can guess why.
( Katon: Rakka Sanran Kasai ) - Fire Release: Falling Fire Scatter
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user whilst in mid air will release from their mouth a series of small fire shots that rain down upon the target.
For this first technique, I want you to jump into the air whilst focusing your katon chakra into your lungs before exhaling the built chakra in the form of a series of small fire balls which rain down upon my water golem, causing him to partially evaporate and hence forming a cloud of thick steam which masks his exact position.
Key Points: You must be in mid-air to use this jutsu. Sometimes people forget this detail and misuse such techniques.
( Katon: Kitsunebi ) - Fire Release: Fire Whisp
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user creates a small ball of bright fire from their mouth that shoots at the opponent burning on impact.
For your final technique, I want you to focus your katon chakra into your lungs once again before exhaling it the form as a small ball of unusually bright fire, before shooting it towards my golem and using it to burn him on impact.
T- That thing looks sc- cary! Tao said whiles shivering as he stood right before Sensei's water golem.
As Tao looked at the golem he shakes his head and focuses on what Sensei had just explained. He jumped in the air and built up his Katon chakra into his lungs while doing so Tao exhaled the built chakra in the form of a series of small fire balls which rain down upon Sensei's water golem causing a thick steam of mist which masks Tao's position.
Well well.. Happy Halloween, I guess. Tao said as he softly landed down on the ground.
Now it time to attack. Tao said in mind with a smirk on his face.
Advantages: Smart technique, easily used and has a strong effect on the victim.
Disadvantages: The steam of super thick mist can be a disadvantage for me as well.
After shooting the balls on Sensei's water golem, Tao sprints to the unsuspecting opponent as the smoke of thick mist slowly fades away.
Tao focusses his Katon chakra into his lungs, once done he exhales it in the form of a small ball of unusually bright fire. He now aims for Sensei's golem Tao stands ready and shoots it toward his opponent burning him down.
Advantages: Sneakily and fast useable. Gives extra time to set up this Jutsu after combining it with the last.
Disadvantages: I don't really see any side effects of using this Jutsu, but it is risky when using it after preforming the previous Jutsu.
Sorry about the late reply, I'll make it up to you with faster replies from now onwards.Now that you're on B-Ranks, you will continue the rest of your training filling out the following template. Just to clarify, you will still perform the jutsus as well as fill out the template. Don't feel too concerned with making every template submission extremely detailed, some jutsus are more straight forward than others. However, for more unique and complex techniques, I expect a substantial level of detail. Also, don't be hesitant to ask questions about techniques. I remember when I was training, I'd sometimes avoid asking questions just so I could learn more techniques with my teacher's next post. I will always answer your questions and provide new techniques to learn, so if anything I encourage asking about things you want to know more about.

( Katon: Karyū Endan ) - Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user first performs seven handseals Ram → Horse → Snake → Dragon → Rat → Ox → Tiger and kneads chakra into flames, which are then manipulated into a genuine-looking dragon. The flames are divided to launch a left side, right side, and frontal assault in all three directions at once, turning the enemy into ash in a matter of seconds.
For this first technique, I'd like you to perform the handseal sequence of: Ram → Horse → Snake → Dragon → Rat → Ox → Tiger before focusing your katon chakra to your lungs. Envision the fire you spew out to emerge in the shape of a genuine-looking dragon before doing so in reality. As you release the flames, divide them into three equal portions, which continue towards the dummies in the corner as a group of smaller dragons. Each one will take a slightly different trajectory/flight path, one will curve off to the right, one will curve off to the left and the final one will take a straightforward linear path towards the dummies.
Key Points: The power of the technique is equally divided between the released dragons, collectively they amount to the power of a B-rank. Though I'm sure you're familiar with this concept already

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.
I like the concept of the following technique, since its a nice change from simply exhaling fire from your mouth. Focus your katon chakra to your hands and aim them towards the dummy in the distance. After doing so, release the built chakra in the form of a quick moving barrage of small shots which come directly from your palms. The difference between these fireballs and ordinary ones, is that rather than burning on impact they explode.
Key Points: None, the technique is self-explanatory.
Combinations you could make with this jutsu:
I think I'd first form a mud wall behind the enemy or use any jutsu that would stop the enemy from moving back. Afterwards would use swamp of the underworld then finish off with this Katon technique. Using swamp of the underworld forces the enemy to almost have to go airborne which I’ll take advantage of since going forward, underground, or backwords wouldn’t help even if he could stop the Katon.
Ways to Counter: By staying close to le enemy and using taijutsu, kenjutsu, or certain ninjutsu to make sure the attack can’t be performed in the first place. You could decide to only take on one of the flames while moving towards it so that you eventually pass that flame while the others collide since they are not B rank separately. Then there’s the normal straight forward counter of Katon’s weaknesses C rank and above such as water, dark.
Uses of this technique (Battle orientated and non-battle orientated):
It can be used to clear forests, and evaporate water sources.

Questions about the technique (Optional): None yet.
Perform :
Tao performs the handseals Ram > Horse > Snake > Dragon > Rat > Ox and Tiger then he inhales as he build his Katon chakra into his lungs. Simultaneously Tao envision the nature and image of a dragon concentrating on every detail. Keeping that vision in mind, Tao stands ready to exhale and release his built of chakra. By using chakra manipulation Tao exhale however then he separate at the exact same time the the built chakra into 3 different parts. While doing so he uses his chakra to control one go to the left, another to the right, and one toward the center creating a three pronged attack.
Combinations you could make with this jutsu:
With this explosive nature it is a good jutsu to use with some earth style Jutsu's, no? xD
Ways to Counter: By using a water jutsu of good range to stop the fire techniques. And holding a pretty good distance.
Uses of this technique (Battle orientated and non-battle orientated):
Best use is to keep enemy on the defensive. It is a barrage of attacks so there are strength in numbers somewhat. This is really made for offensive use or destraction for other jutsu.
Rate the technique out of ten: 8 !
Questions about the technique (Optional): None yet.
Perfrom :
Instead of building chakra into his lungs Tao begins to build the super heated chakra into his hands. And as he build it up to a certain point, he manipulate the nature of this Katon to focus more of the exploding impact rather than the burning effect of most katon. Ready for release Tao hold his palms out and begin to fire off several flame fire shots at the dummy stemmed from my built chakra. The flame shots explode on impact due to during manipulation.
( Katon: Hiendan ) – Fire Release: Soaring Flame Bullet
Rank: B
Type: Offense, Deffence
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user exhales a stronger yet shorter version of the Fire Release: Great Fireball technique.
For this first technique, you will perform a method similar to the Great Fireball technique. Begin inhaling the air whilst gathering a large amount of fire chakra in your lungs, before making a ring with your thumb and index finger and exhaling the technique through the opening. The fireball will ignite externally, so you will not suffer damage from this technique. Direct the fireball towards that group of dummies. However, unlike this technique's counterpart, despite being a stronger fireball, it will also have a much shorter reach.
Key Points: Pay close attention to the range of techniques.
( Katon: Gōenkyū ) - Fire Release: Great Blaze Ball
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 20

Alright, this technique is slightly more original. Perform the following two handseals before focusing your katon chakra to your lungs. Mold and exhale the built chakra in the form of a large sphere of fire, capable of carrying an opponent away before exploding on impact. Unlike other Fire release techniques, give this fireball a certain "solidity", allowing it to behave much like a doton technique. On its path, the fireball is capable of breaking through solid obstacles (without exploding) to reach its target.
Key Points: Usually, Fire and Lightning techniques have no interaction with one another. However, condensed/focused Fire and Lightning techniques are capable of clashing with one another. This technique should be capable of clashing with focused/condensed lightning techniques.
( Katon: Gōenka ) - Fire Release: Great Flame Flower
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
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.

Finally, I want you to jump upwards whilst gathering your katon chakra to your lungs. Mold and exhale the built chakra in the form of three moderately large bullets of fire, which will descend much like meteors onto your opponent. After colliding with an object/person, the fireballs will erupt into a vertical geyser of flame.
Key Points: Believe it or not, but the jumping portion of the technique is useful against evading small-scale attacks. You could simply hop over them (avoid the attack entirely) before releasing the fireballs which will continue on to attack your opponent, accomplishing all of this with a single maneuver.
Since techniques cannot be countered in freeform, this is a useful attack to use against World Shaking and similar techniques.
