[Katon] Training with Akasha

[Kai NB]

I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner! I didn't even know you replied! Forgive me!

Itachi nods and stands still. He begins moulding chakra and starts to have it focus within his lungs and mouth. After focusing enough chakra, he then spits out the chakra from his mouth while changing the nature of it too match fire. As he does this, he additional shapes the chakra to form into a slight ball of fire. The ball of fire aims straight to the air in front of him before it dissipates in time. He takes in a deep breath and moulds his chakra again. This time, he spews out fire and continues to exhale in several bursts to create several smaller-sized fireballs.

( Katon: Komakai Kaki ) - Fire Release: Small Fire
Rank: D
Type: Offense
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: The user spews a small fireball.

(Katon: Ryu Kaen Bakufuu ) - Fire Release: Dragon Flame Blitz
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user inhales and then exhales, shooting small balls of fire at the opponent.

Both of these techniques are very useful. Considering neither one requires handseals is great as it can speed up the attack. Additionally, the Fire Release: Dragon Flame Blitz can effectively cover a larger area since multiple fireballs are thrown. A downside is that these attacks are not effective for a finishing blow, and the Dragon Flame Blitz attack gets weaker per fireball that is made.

It's completely fine, some things came for me in RL as well, so I appologize, I thought I will have more free time as to reply to trainings. Now, that we went over those two techniques what I'd like for you to tell me is what do you know about projectiles in general?

 

[Kai NB]

Well, projectiles are objects that follow a predetermined path unless acted upon by an outside force. The angle of launch and speed of the projectile determine the distance and magnitude of the projectile.

Honestly, that's all I really know of what to say regarding projectiles

 

[Akasha]

I'll go a bit more in depth with it. Projectiles are techniques that are released from your body,from your mouth,your feet,your fists and so on. Projectiles are blasted off/launched from your body towards the intended target. When it comes to projectiles you gather and release a defined amount of chakra. What is characteristic when it comes to projectiles is that once they leave your body they are no longer tied to your chakra which means that once you release them you can send another technique to follow them (Let's say you send a fire ball towards your opponent and as soon as you release that fire ball from your mouth you send a wind tornado as to make a fire tornado which makes more damage as well as effects bigger area). But not being tied to your own charka comes with an disadvantage. Direction in which they are moving can not be changed unless the technique you use says otherwise. That disadvantage with which they come makes it easier in a way for opponent to counter them. There is one more characteristic attribute to projectiles and that is sending few of them at the intended target. But the bigger the number of projectiles there is the smaller their power as well as size are. But sending more projectiles can make countering of a technique harder. You can send one towards your target's legs and one towards his head. He will have to use a technique that effects a bigger area as to defend from yours.

1 S ranked projectile = 2 A ranked = 4 B ranked = 8 C ranked = 16 D ranked​

Any questions?

No questions here, I understand

Lovely. Let's get going onto the next technique we are to learn! This next jutsu is based on infusion of fire chakra within shurikens. Basically by taking few shurikens from your pouch release them towards your target as you focus katon chakra within them. When you think that they are close enough to the target by usage of nature and shape manipulation make the katon chakra within them burst as to engulfy them in flames. This is a pretty basic jutsu to be honest. However useful at very rare times.

(Katon: Kaen Shuriken Ranbu ) - Fire Release: Blazing Shuriken Dance
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will throw several shuriken infused with fire at the enemy and then, through a mental command, ignites them to cause extra damage.

 

[Kai NB]

Itachi nods and stands still. He takes out a few shurikens from his pouch and begins moulding chakra into them. He then starts to have it focus and change the nature of it. After focusing enough he throws the shurikens forward into the air. Then, after traveling a considerable distance, he uses his chakra to make the projectiles ignite and catch on fire.

Well, a benefit to this technique is that it doesn't require handseals. Also, it allows for extra damage to be made from shurikens. A downside is that this attack gets substantially weaker with the more shurikens used.

I have a question. Can this technique be used in conjunction with the Shadow Shuriken Clone Jutsu?

 

[Akasha]

I believe it shouldn't be possible however I am not 100% certain. I checked with my sensei and he said the same. Anyhow neat job let's get going onto the next technique of C ranks :3 which is actually a variations of fire release. Basically first thing that I need for you to do is perform a sequence of four hand seals, Snake, then Ram, after which you are suppose to perform Monkey and finish it up with performance of Tiger hand seal. Simultaneouslyas to you performing those hand seals I need you to focus katon chakra within your upper body, mouth and gullet. Once done with performance of seals release the said chakra whilst using nature manipulation as to generate flammable gas in this case and shape manipulation forming like a stream. Now, as soon as this fire comes in contact with sparks of fire or some kind of fire source it would ignite which would cause a fireball to be formed. Also you can use lightning sparkles as to ignite the flames.

( Katon: Kasumi Enbu no Jutsu ) - Fire Release: Mist Blaze Dance Technique
Rank: D
Type: Offense/Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
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.

 

[Kai NB]

Itachi begins to perform the 4 hand seals. He begins moulding chakra and starts to have it focus within his lungs and mouth. After focusing enough chakra, he then blow out the chakra from his mouth while changing the nature of it too match fire. The chakra is released and a gas forms in front of Itachi. Itachi then takes out a kunai with a paper bomb attached and throws it into the gas. The paper bomb expldes and the sparks from the tag makes the flammable gas explode in a great fireball.

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.

A benefit to this technique is that it because it starts as a gas, the fireball will be formed from any section of the fire. So as long as I specify the gas length and area, it can catch an opponent off guard. A downside is that this attack gets substantially weaker with the more gas spread out.

 

[Akasha]

Lovely job, let's get going onto the next technique. It's also a last technique of D ranks when it comes to fire release. Anyhow, with the next technique you are capable of focusing chakra in your limbs, arms, legs and releasing it that way or focusing it within your mouth and releasing it in form of a fire ball or a stream. This jutsu can be used in combo with taijutsu as it will augment the power of your attack if you were to focus the chakra in your limbs. Now as we've been through the projectiles and how they are released I'd like for your to gather katon chakra within your body and focus it in your mouth and gullet. Once there release the chakra using nature manipulation as to generate fire and shape manipulation forming a stream.

( 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 from either their limbs (through movement) or exhaling it. It can produce fire balls or fire streams or simply aid in taijutsu.

 

[Kai NB]

Itachi begins to mould chakra and starts to have it focus within his gullet and mouth. After focusing enough chakra, he then blow out the chakra from his mouth while changing the nature of it too match fire. The chakra is released and a steady stream of fire forms in front of Itachi. He aims the stream forward and also moves his mouth by turning his head to change the direction of the stream, while keeping it constant.

Rank: D

Damage points: 20
Description: The user will release a small but powerful flame of fire at their opponent from either their limbs (through movement) or exhaling it. It can produce fire balls or fire streams or simply aid in taijutsu.

A benefit to this technique is that it can be used to augment the taijutsu of a user. It's also more versatile given that it can be either a stream or a fireball. A downside is this technique causes the user to continuously mold chakra to keep it in a stream of fire, rather than a ball of fire.

 

[Akasha]

OK, great, great. Amazing! I am sorry for late reply. Anyhow before we continue with techniques I need to know your knowledge on streams? What do you know about them and so forth?

 

[Kai NB]

Thanks! And there's no need to apologize. =D Well, the only thing I do know about them is for a stream to occur, there has to be a constant supply of energy to keep it going. If that supply were to end, so would the stream. So a constant supply of chakra would keep a stream going for as long as you keep releasing chakra. Oh, I also know that streams are straightforward, not being able to be curved.
