Since this is your first lesson in fire before I teach you techs you'll need to tell me some things.
The first thing that you will need to do is explain the fire element to me in YOUR OWN WORDS. I would like you to tell me the basic strengths and weaknesses of the element, how these strengths and weaknesses can be used to your advantage or your disadvantage, what the fire element personifies to you, and why you find the fire element interesting or if you don't find it interesting, why you have that opinion. And basically anything else you want to say about fire relevant to the training and RP.
We'll discuss it then move on to the techniques afterward.
I am going away on a cruise for 5 days so I may not be able to respond

The fire element or katon is a very unique and diverse element. It is a very strong and offensive element that is mostly used in fights to deal large amounts of damage and burn the opponent. Katon can be very weak to many things like strong walls, suiton, and sometimes even things it is normally strong to all depending on how your opponent attacks and defends and how you use it. Like all elements, katon requires thinking, focus, and a strong strategy to use it to the fullest which is why even a simple mistake can cause you to screw up and be completely overpowered and overwhelmed. Although it has many weaknesses, it actually can be used in a way to turn your weakness into your offense.
Weaknesses
- Weak to suiton
- Can be hard to control
- Can sometimes be stopped by summoning/creating obstacles
- Usually takes up a lot of chakra (Am I right on this weakness?)
- Most techniques/jutsus are usually created from the mouth (Can be a strength or weakness)
Strengths
- Is strong to Fuuton
- Does a lot of damage
- Can easily overwhelm opponents
Katon personifies to me as a strong, rough, and enraged element. I find the fire element interesting because of its unique and interesting nature. It can start as a small flame and erupt into a giant spew of ashes or a blast of fire that has shurikens actually hidden inside it.
Now you need to begin using your fire chakra at a smaller scale so you can develop control over it before you begin with jutsu. This is one basic way to help strengthen your fire chakra control. Hold a candle in your hands. The candle tip is already lit and there is a small flame on it. Focus your fire chakra into the candle tip, and breathe in and breathe out. When you inhale bring your fire chakra back into yourself, when you exhale release the fire chakra into the tip of the candle. This will help you use fire in a calm manner so you don't lose control. The fire on the candle should change accordingly with your breathing. If can both control your breathing and the flame, you will be skilled enough to begin performing more advanced feats.
Baaaaaaack!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aguri takes the candle in his hand and grasps it firmly in his hands. He starts to concentrate and slowly inputs his chakra into the candle tip breathing in and out. After a while he focuses even more of his chakra into the flame noticing a change in shape and size. The flame seemed to be getting larger and growing smaller when he breathed in and out. He also noticed the rougher texture and feel from the chakra the candle was outputting.
This is how I will train you: I will first post the technique and the describe it in my own words, and then state a few sentences about the usefulness of the technique both offensively and defensively. I would like you to respond by by telling me:
- how you would perform the technique in battle
- how you will use the technique offensively
- how you can defend against the tech
- whether or not you find the technique useful or interesting
I would like a few sentences for each point or a few bullets. Whatever you prefer. I'll be going at 2 to 3 techniques per post to keep the training moving. But I may do one technique a post for certain techs I feel deserve them.
( 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.
( 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.
These two techniques are almost exactly the same so I'll go over them at the same time. The technique is only short range and is only D-rank so it won't provide much use in battle but it is necessary to learn more advanced adaptions of the jutsu. Remember how you focused fire chakra when you breathed in and breathed out. This is where that comes into play. You must focus your fire chakra in your stomach while inhaling and concentrating the fire chakra. Then when you exhale move the fire chakra from your stomach into your eso****us then finally into your mouth where you shape it into a fire ball. Then release it out while maintaining the spherical shape so you don't lose control of the fire. This is the most basic basic fire ball technique you can learn. It can be used against D-rank wind and countered with D-rank water. Not much use but a needed stepping stone.
Gonna be gone for another 3 days to visit my grandparents XD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Performance
Aguri concentrates katon chakra in his belly moving it through his eso****us and then up to his mouth. He then quickly molds the chakra into a sphere-like shape shooting out 2-3 balls of fire.
( 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.
Offensively
I would use this technique mostly to do damage to foes or to start a fight. It would also be useful offensively for countering fuuton jutsu.
Defense
Defense against this jutsu would be very easy considering its low damage and range. One could simply dodge or counter with a D-Rank suiton. Also, its low range makes it easy to stay away from.
Usefulness/Perks
- Does not take up a lot of chakra
- Can be performed without hand seals
- Could be useful against taijutsu fighters
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Performance
Aguri kneads a small amount of fire chakra in his stomach. He then quickly moves it up through his lungs and mouth. Aguri then quickly forms a small sphere in his mouth and spits it out towards a clone.
( 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.
Offensively
This jutsu could be used to cause a distraction to the opponent or start a fight. It could also be used to deal damage and hinder opponents.
Defense
Like before, defense against this jutsu would be very easy considering its low damage and range. One could simply dodge or counter with a D-Rank suiton. Also, its low range makes it easy to stay away from.
Usefulness/Perks
- Does not take up a lot of chakra
- Can be performed without hand seals
- Could be useful against taijutsu fighters
( 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.
This jutsu is somewhat simple and tricky in its usage. You can see that the range of this technique says short but it can indeed be used to hit an opponent at mid range. Why is that? Because a ninja is capable of throwing a shuriken up to mid range. But the key this to remember is that this is not the shuriken's range but the range of the fire. So when you throw the shuriken you focus fire chakra in your stomach and release it out short range from you. You release small blasts of fire instead of one fire ball like the previous jutsu, the small blasts hit the shuriken in short range thus inflaming them. The shuriken can then still go up to mid range. But any shuriken not in short range cannot be flamed. This jutsu can be further power with Rotating Shuriken to make a more lethal offensive combo by producing a wind/fire shuriken. This technique can obviously be blocked with anything that can push shuriken away, the simplest of which would be a stronger fire ball or wind blast.
( 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.
This jutsu requires three hand seals. Instead of actually creating the fire chakra, the user focus fire chakra in their lungs and maintains it in a gaseous state allowing it to take the form of gas. The user then breathes the gas out of their out and once it is release it is just gas. This ther were this technique is double edged. You can ignite the gas with a lighter and cause the technique to become a fire ball of D-rank but you opponent can also ignite the gas and cause it to explode in your face. I would recommend using this then using a wind jutsu to push the gas toward your opponent before igniting it so that it doesn't explode, or just using a tech that creates a fire ball directly. Just use water to stop the fire ball and wind to push away the mist.
Keep these in mind, they are basic versions of more advanced jutsu.
I apologize for such the late reply Crutch Sensei... Please forgive me ;_;
