(Katon: Aguni no Iki) | Fire Release: Angi's Breath
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 30 (-10 per turn for contact based sustained usages)
Damage: N/A (+20) (60)
Description: Through the rapid release of chakra, the user is capable of coating an object or weapon within their possession in a flow of pure fire chakra. Alternatively, through the formation of a single handseal, the chakra can be spewed towards a desired object - in which case it will neatly wrap around the intended target upon contact. The fire chakra can be created with two distinct properties.
The first is that the chakra can be made to radiate intense heat - all focused outwards so as to not compromise the integrity of the coated structure - with the heat allowing the structure in question to burn and melt through the opposition - adding to lethality. This usage adds +20 damage points to coated projectiles, constructs or weapons, and can be used on solids, and liquids.
The second usage is that, the chakra can be utilised to grant the explosive aspect utilised in some fire techniques to an object. In which case, the fire coating will have more physical substance; and upon contacting with opposition of significant resistance, or upon command, the chakra surrounding said object will erupt outwards to produce a forceful and sudden burst of flames. When utilised on a weapon that the user remains in contact with, the bursts can be adjusted so that the explosive potential is either released all at once in a single, larger and stronger burst - or a bit at a time in the form of multiple, individually weaker eruptions. In the case of being utilised on a object near or within the users possession, the eruptions will always be angled away from the user to prevent back-fire. This usage coats objects in eruptive chakra that is equivalent to 60 damage points, with damage split among multiple coated structures or explosions.
Note:
- Each usage can only be used 3x
- Same usages cannot be used on consecutive turns
- No fire techniques above S rank next turn.
- Both usages can also be applied to the human body.
- This technique is based off of the principles of Phoenix Nail Crimson - in which shurikens are coated in non-inflamed chakra to increase their lethality by manifesting the properties of fire.
- Can only be taught by Scaze
(Katon: Sanshōuo no ikari) | Fire Release: Sonata of the Phoenix
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Rank: Forbidden
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 50 (-20 chakra per turn)
Damage: 90
Description: A technique in which the user is capable of materialising fire from near their body through the rapid release and conversion of copious amounts of fire chakra. The materialised flames are dense yet free flowing in nature, being almost liquid like in consistency, with the user being capable of bending or melding the flames into different shapes or forms so long as they maintain sustained control of this technique. The flames generally take the initial form of two halo like rings (The size of hula hoops, albeit much thicker in that can they overlap to somewhat form a sphere) that blanket around the users body so as to afford the user with a perfect defence, however the manner in which the flames first appear and their subsequent movements are completely subject to the users wishes and intentions. The immense heat of this technique and it's adaptable shape and size allows it to boast versatile destructive capabilities, however what truly warrants this technique it's strength is that whenever the flames collide with an inferior technique they immediately begin to regenerate - drawing on the users chakra supply to do so - so that by the beginning of the next turn the flames will have already restored themselves to full power, hence the name Phoenix. Ultimately, to end the use of this technique, an enemy would have to completely extinguish the flames of this jutsu. However as a result, for as long as the user maintains this technique they will be restricted in the elemental affinities that they can access, mainly being limited to Fire Release (Can still use Fire Release CE provided they only utilise fire elemental chakra.) Lastly, the user is capable of spawning fire techniques from the flames of this jutsu which, combined with the ability to shift these flames throughout the battlefield, essentially allows the user to produce fire techniques of their choice from various angles to assault an enemy, as these flames fundamentally act as an extension of the users body.
- Can only be used 1x.
- Can be sustained for a maximum of four turns.
- Once this technique ends, due to the chakra strain the user will experience exhaustion that will reduce their physical capabilities by one rank, sharp pangs of pain that will occasionally glance through their extremities, and chakra overuses that will prevent the use of fire techniques above B rank for that, and the next turn.
- User takes 40 damage points and suffers from first degree (But not incapacitating) burns on their extremities once this technique ends.
-Cannot create Forbidden Rank Fire techniques from this technique
- Can only be taught by Scaze
Katon/Fuuinjutsu: Kuro Sanshō̄o no Seimei-Sen | Fire Release/Sealing Technique: Lifeblood of the Black Salamander
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: 30 (Fire jutsu with this effect applied cost 10 more chakra to create.)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This technique was developed in response to the chakra draining and chakra absorbitve abilities displayed by certain water and earth techniques. Made in an attempt to achieve a similar effect for fire, the resulting technique was deemed too destructive and was classed as a jutsu too dangerous to be used. Like the chakra draining properties of earth and water, the developed technique was highly effective at targeting chakra in its incorporeal states - however instead of draining or absorbing chakra this technique invoked the most fundamental property of Katon - Burning, and applied it to incorporeal interactions. Under the influence of this technique the flames of produced fire jutsu will be sculpted and recoloured so that the Kanji for 'Burn' will appear embossed and patterned across the surface of the flame. As a result the affected fire techniques will burn away foreign chakra within their proximity. There will be little noticeable change for physical clashes such as fire against earth or water, although a sensor will be capable of discerning that the chakra of the technique clashing against the flame is disappearing even before the techniques physical body fades. Against techniques that fire would not have much interaction with however, such as lightning or sound, or techniques that it would not affect at all - such as incorporeal chakra barriers, the true strength of this technique is displayed. As the flames come into 'contact' (Not physical as it generally cannot directly interact with these techniques, but instead overlapping on the same area or being in the same vicinity/pane) the opposing chakra will be burned away, as under the influence of this technique the users fire natured chakra will adopt a singularly destructive property when it encounters opposing chakra and, true to its nature, will not absorb but will rather burn - flooding out to attack the chakra and erasing the opposition completely. When such a flame encounters the body of a living being such as a Summon or Human, it will burn away at their chakra supply for as long as they remain near the flame (short range), destroying more of their chakra each turn, starting at the amount of chakra used to create the fire technique for the first turn, and increasing by double each turn (i.e, 40 the first, 80 the second, 160 the third and so on) until they have absolutely nothing left - and as such fire techniques under the influence of the Black Salamander serve as the bane to beings that cannot be burned or posses powerful regenerative abilities. Against techniques however, elemental weaknesses and strengths will apply, and the strength of the fire technique will reduce accordingly as it expends the very chakra that comprises it to burn away at enemy techniques. Upon the first use of this technique on a fire jutsu, a crest of ash will appear on the users chest, appearing as a salamander that, like an ouroboros is seen to be devouring its own tail. The Salamander Crest will act as a medium for sustaining this technique, should the crest be destroyed then this technique will also end, likewise, for as long as the crest persists, so too will this jutsu. Should the chakra of a fire technique under the influence of the Black Salamander be absorbed, then then absorbed fire chakra will act as a virus - rapidly burning away at the chakra of its new host until nothing is left. The only counter then, is to produce a full bodied chakra surge equal to or greater than the amount of chakra absorbed. (Starts at double the chakra cost of the technique this time, i.e a technique costing 30 chakra would burn away 60 the first turn, and so on, this time as it is directly within an opponents chakra system and as such can wreak havoc more easily). The chakra burn is easily detectable however as an opponent will feel as if their chakra is 'boiling' (a little like the discomfort that Naruto felt upon his first uses of the Kyuubi chakra), although an infected can still produce techniques as usual, albeit they cannot utilise forbidden ranks.
Note:
- Made of ash the crest is virtually immune to any technique that will smash or break it apart as it can simply reform and regenerate, and is counted as a fire/fuuinjutsu combination, A ranked in power, that can only be destroyed by water - which is the natural enemy of fire, or techniques that can completely burn or blast it from existence such as fire or lightning. After four turns the crest will fade, signifying the end of this technique. If Symphony of the Dragon is either active or used afterwards, the Crest of the Black Salamander will combine with the Crest of the Unburnt Dragon, the Salamander wrapping around the Dragon's head and, the two crests will combine, becoming destroyable only by techniques equal to or greater than their now combined strength. When they combine, the crest of the Black Salamander, being weaker, will adopt the turn limit of the Dragon's Crest, if it has two turns left then this crest will also crumble in two turns and so on. While it makes the crest harder to destroy, it also has the drawback of potentially ending the duration of this technique prematurely depending on how, and when the crests are created.
- While this technique is active the user is capable of, once per turn, producing raw blasts of S ranked fire chakra from any point of their body which - incapable of interacting with physical substances, will instead interact with and destroy those made of chakra, for instance if used against earth the blast will phase into the earth, erasing it of all the chakra that fuels it and, by destroying its source of strength will also undermine the earth's corporeality, leaving it to crumble to dust. (Although it does not interact so much on a physical level, it can still be countered by a technique of equal power as the flame will attack the chakra within the technique, and respecting elemental weaknesses and strengths, will falter when overwhelmed or equalized.) The chakra is visible as it takes a translucent gold or black hue, and be can form various shapes and sizes at the users whim, and the user can maintain control over it should they so wish, however they will be limited to non elemental and fire elemental jutsu during this time. This count as one of the user's three moves per turn.
- When this technique ends it cannot be reactivated again for the next two turns, and no fire techniques above S rank can be utilized during this period. It can also only be activated 2x, and the user is immune to have their own chakra devoured by their flames.
- This technique is also capable of working against chakra, or uses of physical/spiritual energy that have a slightly different make-up than usual, such as Senjutsu chakra and Kiyoshi energy. However it cannot target physical or natural energies in their raw, un-combined state; it can do so for spiritual energy however.
- The user can choose to not apply this effect to a created fire technique, and affected fire techniques will appear an imperial black, red and gold in colour.
- As this technique has no effect on its own, its activation is instant and can be performed in the same timeframe as the following technique. The crest will appear upon the creation of the first Black Salamander Fire technique, and this works on ash too.
- When used by an Inuzuka this technique will not adversely affect their Ninken as, accustomed to their presence, this jutsu, while largely indiscriminate, will have the users Ninken labelled as something related to and bound to the user, as a result just as the user is immune to the effects of this technique, so too will Ninken be. (Same for cursed seals as they are a part of the users being)

Katon: Ryū no Shinfonī | Fire Release: Symphony of the Dragon
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Self
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
