Hanabi no Shinka: Mi Shiruken (Fire Flower of Evolution, Seed Projectiles)
Rank: “D” Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Effect: Shoots between four and six darts of flame from a Kyuutai orb.
Special: -----
Drawback: The projectiles shot forth are small, no larger than a senbon needle. Because of that, they do not do much damage and are easily counter able.
Description: The user performs the Kyuutai, creating an orb within their hand. The hand itself is then crunched in slightly, almost like closing a grip on the fire orb. The orb itself will split into between four and six needles, at the user’s choice, which then fire themselves towards the user’s directed location.
Limit: Must know Hanabi no Shinka: Mi

All seemed to be going well as Zu’s training quickly progressed along the path to glory and success. Now it was time for a different form of attack. What Zu would be doing would be converting the orb into fire needles. The way he saw this technique working was first by creating the needles. This would need careful chakra control to break down the orb and then change it into a fire needle.

Time to get to work. Forming the small orb of fire from the fire flower Zu let the orb fall into his left hand. The way this would work would be to send in a huge amount of chakra into the orb almost like a knife of chakra. The knife could slit the orb into multiple needles that he would learn to control later. Now to put it into action.

As his hand closed around the fire orb Zu’s chakra focused into his left hand. When his hand closed around the orb his chakra shot into his hand cutting up the orb into four needles of fire for the first step of the technique. After a couple of seconds he began to open his hand. His chakra receeded away from the orb of fire to reveal four fire needles laying in the palm of his hand. Success in deed.

Before starting the technique he had set up a practice dummy that went by the name of a scarecrow with targets painted onto it. Looking at the fire needles he used his chakra to levitate the needles into the air a couple of inches above his hand.

Now it was time to practice his needle aim. He slowly levitated the needles towards the target just to get the feeling of the how he would need to control the needles. As he got more control he pulled the neeles back with his will back to his hand. He wondered how much speed could be added to the technique. The needles were fairly small so it would be pretty easy.

His first target would be the head of the scarecrow. With the four needles he put them in a rectangle formation in the air sending them hurling out at the scarecrow’s head with blinding speed. The fire needles seot at the scarecrow bam bam bam bam. All four needles stuck into its head it seemed that Zu had gotten the technique down.

Fire Style: Fire Bolt Technique
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Shoots a very small ball of fire, no larger than a foot in diameter, towards a target.
Special: Rat, Ram, Tiger, extension of one hand
Drawback: When the seals are over, the user extends their hands, shooting the ball of fire from their fingertips, which after repeated use (3 or more times), causes singeing which can slow down the speed of which a user can perform handseals or other finger movements.
Description: The user performs the handseals, converting chakra within the hands into heat energy. The hands are then pointed towards a target and a small bolt of fire, no larger than a foot in diameter, leaves the hand and flies rapidly towards the opponent.
Limit: Fire Release

Now that he had that technique down it was time to start shooting fire everywhere. What he intended on doing was making small tiny bolts of fire and shooting them off as if it was a bow. Since the target was already set up he had somewhere to aim and he just needed to get the technique down. This was one of the few techniques that he had learned with the fire release that wouldn’t need the petal.

The way a fire was made was through energy which was the fuel and the combustion of something to make fire. Zu needed to create a small bullet of fire inside of his hand. Zu formed the hanseals that would be needed for this katon technique and focused his chakra to move through out his right hand.

If you could see the chakra in his hand you would see it building up inside of Zu’s pointer finger. It was spinning rapidly forming into a bullet size form. As he finished creating the bolt inside of his finger it lit on fire. For some reason his hand didn’t hurt a lot but now he needed to do the next part which was moving the bolt from the inside of his hand outside to hit the target.

Zu focused more chakra into his hand where the bolt was as his chakra got behind the bolt that he had created it pushed forward to move out of his hand. As it continued to push Zu kept focusing more chakra into it. When it finally got out of his hand the chakra that was pushing gave a sort of explosion to give the bolt its boost towards the target that was set up. To him this technique seemed like success but just in case he would try multiple bolts as well.

Now it was time to create multiple bolts and fire them off just like had that singular bolt previously. Forming the six easy handseals again he pushed more chakra into his hand. This time on Zu’s main three fingers three bolts formed. It needed more chakra and concentration now that he was creating more bolts. It also added to the amount of numbness his hand was starting to get.

As his chakra coursed through his hand he felt that the three bolts were completed and fully created. Just like last time Zu pushed his chakra through his hand to push the bolts from his hand out. As he was doing this he coated the bolts in chakra when the explosion happened the chakra lit up lighting the bolts on fire.

Three bolts flew through the air at rapid speeds one aimed at the head of the target one aimed for the top left shoulder and one for the right shoulder. The chakra around and inside the bolts kept them on fire and moving rapidly in a spinning motion. When impact was made he smiled the technique worked very well and it seemed that it was now perfect now that he could create multiple bolts at one time.

Fire Sparrow
Rank: D
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Creates swallows out of fire.
Special: handseals
Drawback: weak; will fizzle out after one post.
Description: The user forms handsigns and begins to heat the air around them in five concentrated spots. If heated high enough, the air will begin to burn in the shape of a sparrow. They will appear in a half of a second once this technique is mastered. Once formed, the user can send them towards their opponent with the point of a finger and a boost of chakra. The projectiles fly in a straight line, allowing for minimal control in direction while in flight. All though made from fire, they cannot do much damage beyond a burn since they lack substance and intensity of other fire jutsu.
Limit: Fire release

Now that he was able to create the bolts it was time for something alittle bit more creative. He would be making a fire sparrow. It would be similar to making a ball of fire just in a different form and it had to be able to fly. Well then it was time to get to work on the technique.

Zu formed the six handseals needed for the technique and instantly began to mold his chakra. As Zu’s chakra formed throughout his body he pushed it out of his body and into the air infront of his face. He was going to do this technique in two stages. First was creating a ball of fire then it was to make the actual sparrow. As the chakra was working infront of his face it was turning and molding itself into a small ball about the size of his fist.

As the chakra continued its work it formed into a blazing ball of fire. It wasn’t that hot which was a little surprising he would need to remember that this wasn’t a strong technique. As he was looking at the ball of fire it looked pretty good to him. He was about to morph it into the sparrow made of fire and then suddenly the ball of fire fizzled out. He had been using constant chakra how odd Zu thought.

So there seemed to be a time limit on how long the technique could stand odd indeed. Well it just meant he had to work harder and faster. It seemed as if there was only a six second period that the ball of fire could stand with this technique is what Zu had observed from performing part of the technique the first time.

Forming the handseals again for the sparrow technique Zu went straight to work. His chakra formed into the air he made a small fireball but didn’t wait to inspect it he had a very short time limit of six seconds. As he continued to work through the technique the sides of the fireball stretched out as wings. The bottom of the fireball stretched to create sparrow like claws for feet. As he finished it seemed the technique was down and it was a bird. The fire bird landed on his hand before fizzling out as the six seconds had passed.

Katon - ningenteki houka bakudan (Fire release - Human firebomb)
Rank: "D" "C" "B" "A" "S"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The Jutsu leaves a seal on an opponent depending on the rank will blow up causing to begin with causing little damage.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Can reduce the user to no chakra if he does not explode the seal.
Description: When the user completes the hand seals for this jutsu. A pentagram with the Kanji for fire appears in the Centre. It looks as though it is made of orange ink. where as it’s just pure chakra. When this jutsu is first learned, it uses the Chakra from the seal and the seal alone to cause and explosion. As the rank and thus the power increase. More of the users chakra is absorbed but also the person who has the seal placed on them has there chakra drained to fuel the Jutsu. At S rank, it can if placed in the very centre of the person cause there body to explode. This jutsu at higher levels mixes with the opponents chakra causing it to explode. If used too much or too many of the seals are placed then the user suffers chakra depletion and will suffer the effects of a seal themselves or will be knocked out.
Limit: To go above "C" the user must have at least 300TP in fire Jutsu for "S" rank the user must have over 600 fire TP and 800 TP in total to show that they have the chakra control.

Now that the sparrow was complete it was time for something a lot more destructive. He was going to make things explode. The way this would work would be drawing a fire kanji on something forming a special seal. After the seal was placed on the target a hand sign would be formed to causing it to explode destroying whatever the technique was put on.

Well it was time to make a tree explode. Forming the six simple handseals yet again he focused his chakra onto his pointer and middle finger. It seemed as if his fingers lit ablaze with some sort of fire ink. Zu walked over to the tree and began to inscribe the symbols for the technique into the tree. He wanted to make sure that the technique was absolutely perfect when he did it.

As he finished off the symbols for the pentagram he noticed that a kanji formed in the centre of the pentagram. Well at least that was a good sign that the technique had been placed on the three correctly. Zu placed his hand up against the pentagram and focused more of his chakra into his hand placing it into to pentagram to make sure it had enough juice to be able to explode when he needed it to.

Zu had finished putting one pentagram down on the tree but he wasn’t done yet there was also a fairly large boulder near it. Forming the handseals as he walked over to the boulder his fingers glowed again with the fire ink as he drew the pentagram upon the boulder as well. He watched as the kanji formed in the middle of it as well. Okay well everything was set up for explosion.

Zu jumped backwards so he had his distance away from both the tree and the boulder because he would rather not get caught up in the explosion of either one of them. Looking towards the boulder he smiled and formed a seal as he formed the seal the pentagram got smaller moving in towards the kanji. Once the five points touched the kanji it exploded making a fairly large hole in the boulder. “Heh looks good to me.” It seemed that the technique was complete.

Well then onto the tree that he had place the Kanji on. Before he went to explode the tree he wanted to try something different. Instead of exploding each kanji separately was it possible to do every single one at once to cause a bigger more devastating explosion?

Jumping over to the tree he landed on a branch and formed the handseals. Like last time the fire ink was formed on his fingers and he drew a much smaller pentagram on the tree branch but the kanji still formed in the center of the pentagram so he was sure that it was okay. Zu jumped over the tree landing on the other branch.

While he was in the air he formed the seals again making another pentagram on this branch so there were now three symbols on the tree ready to explode. Now that it was complete Zu got off the tree and walked away from the tree to not get caught in the blast again.

Forming the explosive seal the pentagrams all moved in unison. The chakra that had been placed in them moved inwards towards the kanji. As the chakra searched for its ending which was the kanji it found it. When the chakra touched the kanji it lit up for about half a second and exploded making three nice big holes in the tree. It wasn’t demolished but there was a reasonably large hole in the tree.

Fire Style: Inferno Technique
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Shoots small gout of flame towards the opponent.
Special: Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Tiger
Drawback: Requires the user to exhale and keep their dominant hand cupped over their mouths. Once the user is out of breath of moves their hand, the technique falls.
Description: The user performs the handseals, energizing their hand and their esophagus with chakra. The user then cups their hand over their lips and exhales. The oxygen being expelled from the lungs combusts upon reaching the chakra from the hand, and the user blows it out a maximum of ten feet away. This is different from the Goukakyou no Jutsu in the fact that this comes out as a stream and not a fireball, and also different from the fact that once the user stops breathing out or moves their hand, the technique ends.
Limit: Fire Release

Back to making balls of fire. Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire. Zu felt like making a large stream of fire. What he would have to do is use his chakra in his throat to combust and then expel it quickly out of his mouth. Now it was time to destroy the rest of the tree that hadn’t fully exploded. Time to get to work.

There were four seals instead of the normal six which made performing this technique even faster. Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Tiger the seals were formed by Zu quickly. When he finished he molded his chakra not in his hands but in his throat. What the chakra was doing in his throat was forming fire from his fire affinity but was also making sure his throat didn’t burn as he spewed the fire out.

In his throat the chakra was swirling around creating friction that eventually ignited. When it ignited chakra moved behind the fire and pushed it out. Taking a deep breath Zu brought his hand over his lips and exhaled as hard as he could. What happened was a stream of fire went out of his mouth towards the tree but it didn’t reach. Zu was eight feet away from the tree but it only went five feet. He would need to work on the distance.

Releasing the technique he wondered what he was doing wrong. Zu assumed that he wasn’t using enough chakra for the technique. More chakra more length more effective. Forming the seals again Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Tiger he began to mold his chakra again for the katon based technique. His chakra that he molded went over his throat first to coat and protect it.

Then as he was working with that it started to fill up his throat with chakra that began to create friction. All of the chakra in his body was moving rapidly to create a fire. Soon a fire was created within his mouth and it was now time to put the actual technique into action. Molding more chakra into his mouth Zu put it in the back.

Once the chakra formed behind the fire it began to push. Using more chakra this time the fire in his throat was spewed out of Zu’s throat and towards the tree. This time the fire made the full eight feet slamming into the tree causing it to light ablaze. Zu kept the fire going until he ran out of breath and took in another breath. It seemed like he had gotten another technique down.

Good the technique was almost complete. Zu was able to burn down most of the tree now he needed to see how well it could be used to his circumstances. Good thing only he could prevent forest fires and he wasn’t planning on preventing them today. Forming the handseals for the katon technique Zu ran towards the tree.

As his chakra formed up in his throat and ignited he jumped up over the tree as he went above the tree he exhaled spewing the fire from his throat down at the tree setting the top of it ablaze. He continued spewing the fire out until he landed on the other side of the tree where he canceled his jutsu.

When he landed on the ground Zu’s back was facing the main tree but he was now surrounded in multiple trees as well. Forming the seals again Zu began to spin on his heel rapidly as the chakra built up in his throat. Once it was complete again his spinning didn’t stop.

Zu began to expel fire from his throat in a 360 degree rotation lighting all of the trees ablaze in a ten feet circumference. He kept spinning until he was out of breath from spinning and the technique. Walking around somewhat dizzily he smiled it seemed that this technique could be used in many different ways. Sure seemed like a success to him.

Onto something new. As Zu was thinking about what he wanted to newly train into. As he was sitting on the ground a bunch of ants passed by Zu’s leg. Smiling slightly he watched the ants as they continued to go and steal some food from a ninja who had recently ate their lunch and fell asleep. Something about this stealing action greatly intrigued Zu. Zu got up and continued to follow the ants carefully. An idea popped up into his head wondering if it was possible to even control the ants.

Zu decided the best way to learn how to control a person was not through force but by befriending them. It certainly would be difficult to convince a bunch of ants to do what he wanted them to do but it was worth a shot. Walking over to the ants he stopped them by stepping in front of them. Zu got down onto his stomach to look at the ants. He wasn’t trying to scare the ants away. He wasn’t exactly sure how to convince the ants of his peaceful nature.

The way that Zu had decided to make the ants understand his peaceful nature was not through talking because ants didn’t really understand the English language. What Zu did to try convince the ants that he was an okay person was first by taking out a piece of meat and laying it down on the ground next to him. He was sure if these ants could take multiple apples they could handle the meat. Now this was only part one of befriending the ants.

Zu also molded his chakra but as he molded his chakra he did it slowly and calmly. He didn’t know how to spread his own emotions out to non human beings but he would try. The chakra that was circulating around his body was one of calmness and peace. He was attempting to show that the ants could in fact trust him even though he was so much bigger than him. Zu reached his hand out towards one of the ants to see if any progress had been made. Placing his hand on the ground for the ant he waited watching it as the ant slowly approached his hand.

A smile formed on his face as the one ant that his hand was closest too walked on it. It seemed that this ant now understood that he meant no harm to him or any of his friends. Now it was time to see if he could control the rest of the ants through chakra. His chakra would not be mean or dangerous but he needed to be able to control the ants for them to come as a use to him in a battle.

Now it was time to learn some taijutsu in the only style he knew. Goken the iron fist. He was first going to practice a basic flying kick to the face. So it was time to train. First he just needed to practice his normal kicks to build up his endurance and strength. This technique would be good for surprise as well as doing major damage to the face if it hit.

Zu began with a tree to start off his training. At first he started with three main types of kicks a high one a medium one and a low strike. This was to get his leg strength and speed endurance up to its maximum. Zu began rapid kicking against the tree counting as his right foot kicked against the tree while his left pivoted his body around the tree striking each point to increase his strength. “One, Two, Three”

Then it was time to move onto a different portion of his training as he continued kicking the tree he bent his left leg down and jumped up into the air kicking the tree. As he landed his foot slid and he fell on his ass “oww!” He winced as he stood back up. He needed to practice on his landing but this was the next step to learning the taijutsu technique.

Zu began to constantly hop into the air as he continued kicking the tree. This required much more endurance to continue the constant hop kicking which is what he had been hoping for. Beggning a new count Zu continued his assault on and around the tree until he had gotten up to one hundred kicks. Every hop was higher than the last and every kick was stronger then the one that was before it. All to complete the task of learning more taijutsu.

As he finished his jump kicking it was time to finish up the technique he had been training. Landing on the ground he looked towards one of the dummies that was put in the ground to be practiced on. Zu went into the goken stance and smirked he was sure his training would pay off now. Rushing forward he yelled “Dynamic Entry!!!!” As he jumped up into the air with his right leg forward his body seemed to cut through the air as he flew one foot directly into the target’s face. As it made contact his strength that had built up slammed into it sending the target hurtling backwards.
