Sawaii walks down to the training grounds, after having received word that she'd been accepted under the guidance of Negative Knight-sensei. As Sawaii arrived she waited patiently on a tree stump under a tree. She could hear the wind sweep across the plains and took a deep breath, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
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 ?
Upon seeing the strange-looking cloaked individual standing before her, Sawaii smirked with excitement. She realized that the man standing in front her was her sensei. Not losing focus, Sawaii speaks in a calm manner but with an assertive tone.
Fire Release is one of the five elemental chakra natures. It is weak against water as water can extinguish fire. Fire is strong against wind because wind feeds flame and increases its power. Fire is also a dangerous element, capable of burning stuff in the matter of seconds. It's a very violent element because of its destructive power. It's main trait is heat, which is the cause to melting and incineration. It's important to notice that fire requires oxygen to burn. I also know that, members of the Uchiha clan have a fire affinity. Likewise fire release is a component of the advanced nature kekkei genkais: Lava Release and Boil Release. Besides, I also know some fire-users: Jiraiya, Mei Terumī and Sasuke Uchiha.
Kakuzu listens attentively to his students recollection of Fire release, taking note that his student has seen a few battles or has done some thorough research.
"Not bad, your current level knowledge on Katon is something to work with. 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.

Rank: D
Type: Offense
Range: Short

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

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.
After your orders are given, I immediately begin gathering my fire chakra into my lungs and converting it into fire nature chakra. When it comes to my mouth just before releasing I use nature manipulation to convert it into fire and shape manipulation to convert it into fireball I direct 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.

I start by gathering chakra and molding it into fire nature chakra. After that is done, I start channeling that chakra towards my throat. In the period of channeling my chakra I heat it up as much as possible. When the chakra just passed the throat and is about to be released from my mouth I then use nature manipulation to convert it into fire and then shape manipulation to convert it into 3 fire balls. Next, I fire the individual shots with separate trajectories by angling my head, by doing this I maximize the amount of dummies destroyed.

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 sensei is done with the instructions for my next techniques, I start by performing the needed handseals Snake → Ram → Monkey → Tiger. While performing the handseals I start gathering my chakra. After that I knead my fire nature chakra into my lungs. Next I start channeling the chakra from my lungs to my mouth and at the same time I heat up chakra. When the chakra is compressed in my mouth, just before releasing it, I use nature manipulation as well as shape manipulation to create a pale flammable mist capable of being ignited externally. The volatile mist surrounds the group of stuffed figures.

After that, I gather my chakra in my stomach and then I mold it into fire nature chakra. Next I start channeling it towards my mouth in which period I heat up chakra to make it as hot as possible. When the chakra is in my mouth I then retrieve several shuriken from my ninja pouch and toss them in the direction of the mist. I then exhale small fireballs which inflame the small tools to create a barrage of fire-coated weapons.

( 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.

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.
I start with focusing my chakra in my lungs. Next, I start channeling my chakra towards my mouth and at the same time I try to heat it up. When it is in my mouth, just before releasing it I use nature manipulation to convert it into fire as well as shape manipulation to convert it into a powerful flame of fire. After that I start to release it from my mouth continuously at further distance.

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.
I begin by performing the needed hand seals for this particular technique: Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Horse → Tiger. As I perform the hand seals I start gathering my chakra in my lungs. Next, I channel it towards my mouth and just after releasing hot air I put my index finger and thumb, in a ring shape, and attach them to my mouth and then I use nature manipulation to convert it into fire and of course after that I use shape manipulation to convert it into fire ball. As it hits the group of dummies, the fireball ignites externally and destroys them.

Nicely done, onto the next set of techniques. 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.

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.

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.

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.
After taking the lither from you I start focusing my fire nature chakra. After that, with the lighter in my right hand, I flick it with my thumb on and after doing so the flame appear. With flame coming from lighter I throw a lighter in front of me and at the same time I use nature as well as shape manipulation, thus converting the flame of fire into a sizable wall of fire used as a defense.

I begin by gathering my chakra in my lungs and converting it into fire nature chakra. At the same time I also make a tiger hand seal. Next I start channeling the chakra towards my mouth. Just before releasing the chakra I use nature manipulation to convert it into fire and shape manipulation to convert into a fire stream. After doing that, I breath out a stream of fire which forms several rings of fire on the ground around your clone, thus causing the rings to trap your clone making him unable to move.

It can also be used in combination with a suitable wind technique to release a massive inferno.
After that I perform the hand seals Tiger → Snake → Ram. Next I begin to focus my chakra outside in front of me, mixing my wind chakra with the atmosphere outside, stirring up the wind. I finally create a spiraling vortex of wind out in front of me. Since I used in a combination with the last fire technique, it releases a massive inferno, thus causing a larger and more potent ring of fire.

It can be used in a combo with Fire Release: Running Fire and Earth Release: Earth Corridor to release a massive inferno at the opponents while they are trapped within the confined space of the earth.
As you are done with your instructions for the third and last technique, I immediately start out with throwing a wire at the dummies's upper body, thus making them unable to move. After doing so I perform the hand seals Snake → Dragon → Rabbit → Tiger and at the same time I focus my chakra in my lungs. Next I channel the chakra towards my mouth. While channeling I take the part of the wire near me with my right hand and I then make sure to use nature manipulation as well as shape manipulation and after that I exhale the fire and release the chakra onto the wire. As the fire comes in contact with the wire, it starts burning and running along the wire going all the way in a direction to the dummies. As the fire reaches the dummies and makes contact with them causes an assault to the dummies.

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.

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.

As Kakuzu-sensei was done with his instructions Sawaii looked him in the eyes and responded with rather jaded tone.
"Alright sensei...just to let you know, I haven't learned the Earth Dragon Bullet technique yet, so I will need your assist here."
Sawaii immediately started out by gathering her chakra in her stomach and she next converted the chakra into fire nature chakra. After that she quickly formed the one hand seal whilst envisioning the nature of the Fire element. Next she channeled the fire nature chakra into her lungs and just before exhaling it as a breath of flames, your rock clone performed the Earth Dragon Bullet technique, Sawaii combines her technique with the earth technique thus causing the two attacks to merge together into a devastating stream of mud.

Upon hearing Kakuzu-sensei's affirmation Sawaii closed her eyes and focused on her energy. As she is done focusing she opened her eyes and started gathering up her chakra, simultaneously she performed the required hand seals for this particular technique: Rat → Tiger → Dog → Ox → Rabbit → Tiger. Next she molded her chakra into fire nature chakra. After that Sawaii started channeling chakra from her lungs in the direction to her mouth. As the chakra was in her mouth she used nature manipulation to convert it into fire and after that shape manipulation to convert it into six small, powerful and deadly fireballs. Finally Sawaii released them as a volley towards the nearby tree. Sawaii then quickly retrieved a few shuriken from her ninja pouch with her dominant right hand and threw them in the same direction as the fireballs. As the fire release technique makes contact with the tree, it completely destroys the tree.
( 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.
Sawaii once again started out by gathering her chakra in her stomach and after that she converted it into fire nature chakra. Next she started channeling it towards lungs and after that towards her mouth. As the chakra was in her mouth, just before releasing it, Sawaii used nature manipulation to convert it into fire and shape manipulation to create a flame of fire. Finally she released the technique, that was directed towards your clone. As it makes contact with your clone it wraps around him before inflicting the severe burn damage, thus causing the clone to disperse.

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.

As sensei was done with his exact instructions Sawaii began by gathering her chakra in her lungs. After that she started converting that chakra into fire-nature chakra. Next Sawaii started channeling that molded chakra towards her mouth, simultaneously she jumped high into the air. As she is at highest point of her jump, in mid-air, she focused the chakra in her mouth. Just before releasing that chakra Sawaii made sure to use nature manipulation to convert it into fire as well as shape manipulation to create a form of a series of small fire balls. They are directed towards sensei's water golem, causing him to partially evaporate and hence forming a cloud of thick steam which masks his exact position.

Sawaii once again began by gathering her chakra into her lungs and molding into fire-nature chakra. Next she channeled that molded chakra towards her mouth. Before she released the particular fire-release technique she made sure to use nature manipulation to convert it into fire as well as shape manipulation to create a form of small ball of unusually bright fire. She then directed the fire ball towards your golem, as it makes contact with him it caused to burn him on impact.

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
( Bakuhatsu Enhogan ) – Exploding Flame Shots
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
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.

Once Kakuzu-sensei is done with his high intellectual, and in the same time exciting, instructions, Sawaii, once again, began by performing the required hand seals for this particular fire-release technique: Ram → Horse → Snake → Dragon → Rat → Ox → Tiger, while simultaneously gathering her fire-nature chakra and of course, she molded the gathered chakra into her stomach. Once she is done with that, Sawaii started channeling it towards her mouth. As the chakra reaches the mouth, Sawaii focused the chakra. Just before releasing the focused chakra Sawaii used nature manipulation to convert it into fire as well as shape manipulation to create a stream that had the look of a dragon, while simultaneously she is focusing on how the fire dragon will actually look. As she is done with that, she released the flames, and she also made sure to divide them into three equal portions, which continue towards the dummies in the corner as a group of smaller dragons, each one of the dragons took a slightly different trajectory, in this situation flight, path, the first one curved off to the right, the second one curved off to the left and the third and final one took a straightforward linear path, towards the dummies.

Combinations you could make with this jutsu:
The technique can be used up to mid range and I think that adding wind to it can be lethal and if would make the technique even more stronger.
Ways to Counter:
Well the way to counter this technique in my opinion is to use a water-release technique and in this situation I'm talking about this technique: "(Suiton: Suijinheki) - Water Style: Water Encampment Wall".
Uses of this technique (Battle orientated and non-battle orientated):
This particular fire-release technique is very useful in a fight because you are attacking your opponent from three sides making it harder to doge. But I must be careful when I'm using this particular fire-release technique, because one of things that is not so good about the fire-release technique is that you are creating a stream of fire which means that you are unable to do anything while you are performing the fire-release technique.
Rate the technique out of ten:
I will give it a solid 6 because it's not a high rank technique, but it's quite useful and one of my favorites fire techniques.
Sawaii once again started out by gathering chakra into her stomach. After that she started channeling it equally towards her hands. As there is equal amount of chakra in both of her hands, she focused on creating fire shots that can explode. As usual she used nature manipulation to convert the chakra into fire and then shape manipulation to create fire shoots. Next Sawaii finally released the built chakra in the form of a quick moving barrage of small shots which came directly from her palms towards the dummy in the distance. As they make contact with the dummy they explode, thus destroying the dummy.

Combinations you could make with this jutsu:
Ways to Counter:
Well the way to counter this technique in my opinion is to use a water-release technique of C-rank or higher, because it should easily put out the flaming shots.
Uses of this technique (Battle orientated and non-battle orientated):
This particular fire-release technique is very cool to be used in a fight because this is a fast technique to be preformed since there are no hand seals required and also it's useful, because you are making multiply projectiles that can be sent in different directions making them harder to dodge. Also I think that I will use this fire technique to break my opponent's footing or even the ground itself.
Rate the technique out of ten:
I will give it a 5, because the technique is quite simple, even though the concept is nice.
( 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
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user after performing two hand seals Horse → Tiger exhales a big-sized sphere of fire that carries the enemy away and causes a massive explosion on impact. The fire ball has a given solidity property to it, being able to punch through solid obstacles without exploding.
You must be registered for see images
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.
You must be registered for see images
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.
