Katon : Fire Release

[Ninja Scrolls AdminNinja Scrolls ADMINISTRATOR]

KATON || FIRE RELEASE

Fire Release (火遁, Katon, English TV: Fire Style) is one of the basic elemental nature transformations. It is performed by moulding superheated chakra inside the stomach before releasing it via the lungs and mouth. There are also variants to this in the form of some mediums such as the use of gun powder, ash, explosive tags and chakra flow into a weapon. Commonly affiliated with the Tiger hand seal, Fire Release consists of mid to long-ranged offensive techniques that cause combustive and explosive damage. The art of having the flames obey the user's will is considered outrageously difficult.

Rank: C
Range: Medium [20m]
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost:
Description: This technique creates a volley of small fireballs, which are sent flying in an unpredictable manner assaulting the enemy. In addition, the flames are controlled individually 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.

This technique simply shoots a flame bullet at the enemy. If the amount of oil that is prepared is kept down, the time it takes to invoke the technique is reduced. This allows the enemy to be stricken unaware, allowing the oil-containing flame bullet to burn them up completely. It is also possible to shoot out a series of flame bullets by partitioning the oil, or a continuous flamethrower.

Rank: B
Range: Medium [25m]
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost:
Description: The user spews a stream of chakra-infused gunpowder from their mouth, which surrounds the region. As the gunpowder is composed entirely of ash, it stays in the air around the victim like a cloud, which can be used like a smokescreen. After surrounding the enemy with the ash, the user can ignite it with a flint placed on their teeth beforehand to create a spark, resulting in a violent explosion, burning the enemy. However, this technique requires keen senses to read the air currents, the insight to read the movements of the enemy, the tactical experience to not also enfold one's allies in the flames, and careful attention for the timing of the ignition.

Rank: B
Range: Far [50m]
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost:
Description: The user compresses a large amount of chakra built up inside their body and changes it into a dragon head-shaped fireball. The user then skillfully manipulates that great fire, and attacks their opponent. Even outside of the attack range, its power and reliability are stressed. The flames have a high temperature, which can create an upward movement of air currents which in turn can give rise to thunder clouds. A master of this technique can fire off several flames in succession and anyone caught in the technique could potentially be reduced to ashes.

Name: Katon: Zukokku
Rank: B
Range: Medium [15m]
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost:
Description: A small fireball that erupts into a giant fire-storm after making contact with a surface, causing widespread destruction to the area. Since the flames travel along the ground, and cover such a wide area this is a difficult technique to evade. When combined with Wind Release, this technique is amplified to the point of being able to evaporate a large amount of water in an instant.

Name: Katon: Hōsenka Tsumabeni [Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Flower Nail Crimson]

Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost:
Description: The user unleashes a volley of shuriken with one hand, and at the same time, exhales fire-infused chakra onto them in order to increase the weapons' destructive potential by making them capable of inflicting severe burns upon direct contact with either the intended victim, or any other object caught within their trajectories. Due to the chakra-based nature of the flames that surround them, the shuriken will continue to burn after impact, regardless of the flammability of the object that they ultimately collide with.

Name: Katon: Hibashiri [Fire Release: Running Fire]
Rank: B
Range: Far [30m]
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost:
Description: This technique creates a stream of fire that can be manipulated into several forms, such as rings of fire that runs on the ground or a circle of fire flying through the air, before striking the target. It can also be used in combination with Wind Release techniques to create tornadors or infernos, based on the user's proficiency.

A-Rank Katon Jutsu

Name: Katon: Haijingakure no Jutsu [Fire Release: Hiding in Ash and Dust Technique]
Rank: A
Range: Far [40m]
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost:
Description: The user expels chakra-infused ash that blanket a wide area, burning anyone who comes in contact with it. The technique can also be used as a powerful deterrent from attacks as well as a highly effective smokescreen. This technique is a far more effective substitute for smoke bombs since the user doesn't need their hands to be free nor does this technique require hand seals.

Name: Katon: Kaen Senpū [Fire Release: Flame Whirlwind]
Rank: A
Range: Far [40m]
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost:
Description: Fire erupts around the user's body in a spiralling manner which is then launched with his hands towards the target. Once the technique hits the target, the opponent is sent into the air in a spiraling manner and their body burns into ashes.

Name: Katon: Ryūen Hōka no Jutsu [Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique]
Rank: A
Range: Far [40m]
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost:
Description: As with its individual version, the user compresses a large amount of chakra built up inside their body, before expelling it in the form of a number of dragon head-shaped fireballs. The user then skilfully manipulates the great fire, and attacks their opponent. Can create up to four dragon heads.

Name: Katon: Onidoōrō [Fire Release: Demon Lantern]
Rank: A
Range: Far [40m]
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost:
Description: This technique releases many floating fireballs around the user, which take the shape of ghosts at the final stage of the technique. After performing the required hand seal, they attack the opponent in swarms. Each fireball creates a huge flame at the moment of impact.

S-Rank Katon Jutsu

Name: Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku [Fire Release: Great Fire Annihliation]
Rank: S
Range: Far [100m x 60m x 40m]
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost:
Description: Referred to as the pinnacle of Fire Release techniques, chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into fire, and then expelled from the mouth and shaped into a massive fireball, which covers a wide range as well. This makes the technique extremely difficult to either avoid or contain, with it requiring the combined efforts of several Water Release users in order to extinguish the flames. The flames covers a sixty meter span in width and forty meters in height.

Name: Katon: Gōka Messhitsu
Rank: S
Range: Far [60m x 30m x 10m]
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost:
Description: A technique where chakra kneaded inside the user's body is converted into fire, and then expelled from the mouth in a massive stream of intense flames that can set a vast area ablaze, engulfing the target in a veritable sea of flames. If used upon dense, combustible terrain such as a forest, the confined area can greatly increase the possibility of the target's incineration. Unlike the Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation, which focuses on a widespread area, this technique focuses on a single spot to focus and maximize its power. Covers a thirty meter wide area in intense flames. Especially dangerous when used from above the opponent.

Name: Katon: Gōenka [Fire Release: Great Flame Flower]
Rank: S
Range: Far [50m]
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost:
Description: Kneading his chakra and then converting it to fire, the user creates a multitude of fireballs at the same time which then rain down on the target causing severe, widespread damage around the field. These fireballs can easily destroy Earth Release-created shelters and even overpower Water Release attacks.

Name: Katon: Karyū Endan [Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet]
Rank: S
Range: Far [40m]
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Elemental Affinity: Katon
Cost: x + 15 per Post
Description: The user kneads their chakra into flames, which are then manipulated into a genuine-looking dragon. Since the art of having the flames obey the user's will is outrageously difficult, its mastery is restricted to a limited number of skilful shinobi. 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.
