Fire Style Techniques (Katon)

Name of Jutsu:Exploding Flame Shot
Rank: C
Element:Katon - Fire
Description:This jutsu allows the user to shoot multiple fire shots from their hands, which are able to cause fiery explosions on impact. The shots can also catch the opponent on fire.

Name of Jutsu: Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning
Rank:C
Element:Katon - Fire
Description:The user spews a stream of Chakra-altered gun-powdered ash from its mouth, which surrounds the region. The gunpowder itself is hot enough to cause third-degree burns on the victim, and because it's composed entirely of ash, it stays in the air around the victim like a cloud. For further damaging the enemy, the user can ignite the ash with a flint placed on their teeth beforehand to create a spark, resulting in a violent explosion. 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.


Name of Jutsu:Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique
Rank: C
Element: Katon - Fire
Description:The user breathes fire along a cord or any other type of long object. While the technique is shown in the anime to be even larger and more devastating than Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique (and being able to melt rock), in the manga it is shown to be nothing more than a small burst of flame running along a line of wire.
(Manga version for genin - chuunin)


Name of Jutsu:Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Missile
Rank: B
Element: Katon - fire
Description:First the user inhales air and then exhales a long stream of incredibly hot fire from the user's mouth like that of a flamethrower. The Third Hokage is able to use this technique with such an intensity that the flames become white.


Name of Jutsu:Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique
Rank: B
Element:Katon - Fire
Description:The user compresses a large amount of chakra built up inside their body and changes its shape into a dragon-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, as they can create an updraught which in turn can give rise to thunder clouds. A master of this technique can fire off several flames in succession. Anyone caught in the technique could potentially be reduced to ashes.
This is the setup that Sasuke uses in order to perform Kirin.


Name of Jutsu:Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
Rank: C
Element: Katon - Fire
Description: After performing the necessary hand seals, a ninja inhales air via their mouth and, gather up chakra in their chest, then spews a large fireball from their mouth after blowing through a ring made by the thumb and index finger of the user, incinerating everything in range. Sasuke is seen doing this technique without making a ring over his mouth. The fireball may ignite externally (as evidenced by Kakashi Hatake's ability to use the jutsu without burning his mask, but may also be seen as pulling it down to blow out the fireball).

According to Kakashi Hatake (in the anime Part II), the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique was originally created by the Uchiha clan, becoming one of their favorite moves with which they became very adept with. The Uchiha clan also uses the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique as a "coming of age" technique. This technique apparently requires more than average chakra reserves and most Genin should not be able to do this technique.

Name of Jutsu:Fire Release: Mist Covering Technique
Rank: B
Element: Katon - Fire
Description:After performing the necessary hand seals, 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. Kagerō uses this technique while disguised as Kabuto Yakushi.

Name of Jutsu:Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique
Rank: C
Element: Katon - Fire
Description:This jutsu sends multiple balls of fire at a target. It is also possible to hide shuriken within the fireballs, creating an unexpected secondary surprise attack. For the most part, however, this jutsu is used as a distraction.

Name of Jutsu:Hanzō's Exploding Tag Technique
Rank: A
Element: Katon - Fire
Description:The user places their hand on the ground and releases a large number of exploding tags, which stream to the target and wrap around their legs. Once in place, the tags explode, heavily damaging the target's legs.
