Hiei patiently awaits his master's arrival while mentally revisiting his independent studies of Katon

Castiel walks up to the training field, he sees the young boy standing there. Castiel then stops once he is close enough to the boy and then proceeds to say: "Hello, my name is Castiel; you can call me either Castiel, or sensei. Up to you. But first what is your name?"

 

[Xicer]

Hiei looks up to the sky as he smiles and says "Castiel-Sensei, it is a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance. My name is Hiei Senju, and as your student I promise to fulfill your all of your request to the best of my abilities, sir!"

 

[Nathan]

"Nice to meet you, Hiei. So tell me about fire, and why you want to learn it?"

 

[Xicer]

"Fire is the result of a combustion reaction. That reaction causes the burning substance (usually oxygen) to release energy very quickly to become as stable as possible as an atom. It does this through thermal increases and giving off light. I want to learn about it because fire jutsu are great tools to have for almost any situation. They can cause distractions, injure/slow opponents, herd your opponent the direction you want them to go, or completely engulf your opponent if utilized properly."

 

[Nathan]

Interesting way of putting it. But I think I need to add a little more.

Fire release is style used in the Narutoverse and in the RP that utilizes one Fire nature chakra inside their core. Fire is a very violent element that breaths and spreads its power and destruction. It's a fast element although not as fast as Wind or lightning. The main property fire possesses is great levels of heat, capable of incinerations. When generating fire the user superheats their chakra giving them this ability and it's usually generated from the mouth (though can be released from other points of release). However, this property of heat can be used in various other ways. For example, one could add fire chakra to their bladed weapons, allowing them to easily cut harder objects like metals with ease. One can also use heat to affect their opponent without actually burning them or requiring contact with the fire. The concept of the heat stroke, the amount of heat generated can be used in ways to increase body temperatures beyond safe points and initiate fatigue or illness that hinders your opponent. Also, waves generated by the heat can be used to alter the density and behavior of the air. On a molecular level, the molecules in fire move at a rapid pace, which allows them to generate the type of heat they do. When speaking on the molecular structure, the rapid pace of this plasma element makes it a great element to work in conjunction with Lightning release. For one both are able to keep up with each other and Fire also covers for Lightning's weakness of wind. Wind>Lightning for it being a natural insulator however Fire>Wind due to the augmenting properties the wind has to feed fire with the oxygen in the air (though not the case when Wind and Fire oppose each other necessarily). Joining a fire technique right after a lightning technique helps fortify a much stronger technique.

Questions?

 

[Xicer]

Just one: Can a fire jutsu affect the caster in a negative way directly? For example, if I am attempting to raise my opponents body temperature to fatigue them, would I have to worry about my body temperature raising as well, slowing me in the process?

No, cause it is your own chakra that is being used. Your own chakra doesn't affect you.

 

[Xicer]

Oh! I understand now! Thank you!

Please continue, Sensei.

 

[Nathan]

Okay. So I want you to take this piece of paper from my hand, and try and channel your katon chakra into it, if done correct, the paper should ignite and turn into ash.

 

[Xicer]

Hiei accepts the chakra paper from his Sensei's hand, and clinches it in his fist. He closes his eyes, and focuses on manipulating and channeling his fire chakra into his clinched fist. As the chakra gathers, he notices a tingling sensation in his hand, almost as if his chakra is dancing like the flames it is eventually going to cause. A small poof is heard as Hiei opens his eyes and hand, revealing a small pile of ash.

 

[Nathan]

Good, how does the fire chakra make you feel?

 

[Xicer]

Knowing that it is as deadly as it is, along with all of its other uses, it makes me think that I could utilize it to handle almost any situation. This makes me feel in control, confident, and fierce.

 

[Nathan]

We can start the first technique, I want you to follow the template every time I show you a technique.

Any questions?

 

[Xicer]

Seems straight forward to me, sir. I have no questions at this time

 

[Nathan]

(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.

So this technique is very easy, all you need to do is gather up some fire chakra in your mouth, then by releasing it form it into small balls of fire.

 

[Xicer]

Advantages
1.) Since I am firing multiple projectiles, I have a greater chance of hitting my opponent compared to a single shot.
2.) Since I can shoot them in any direction, I can prevent my opponent from taking a strategic point in the battlefield on their next turn by assuring that there will be fire balls there to block them.
3.) Good for situations with multiple opponents.

Disadvantages
1.) After the point of release, I have no control over the path it takes
2.) Can be evaded with relative ease
3.) Travels in a straight line

How you would use it in battle?
I would use this technique for positioning purposes mainly. For example, if me and my opponent are at short range, but I need them to be long range for what ever reason, I would use this jutsu to herd them in the direction that I wanted them to go.

How you would counter it?
I would counter this by either simply side-stepping the fireballs, or by using a D+ rank water jutsu to extinguish the flames.

How do you perform it?
Hiei stands at attention, stoic with his head down.
"First, I gather my fire chakra in my chest until the heat is almost unbearable, then I move it to my throat."
Hiei's face starts to turn red, as he tilts his head upward and shoots 3 cantaloupe sized fire balls about 5 meters ahead.
"Then I force it out in sections," Hiei says grinning as smoke escapes the corners of his mouth.

 

[Nathan]

I would counter this by either simply side-stepping the fireballs

In this RP, you can't just side-step your way out of incoming attacks, you have to counter it, or dodge it using a technique, same with jumping you can't jump over an attack.

 

[Xicer]

I am very glad you told me that. I would have put myself in a horrible situation if you hadn't.

I would counter it with a D+ rank water jutsu, or by tunneling underground where the fire balls cannot reach me then.
