Description: Heat Shimmer is a kenjutsu attack utilizing the Fisei’s clan's capabilities with fire chakra. It’s purely a visual effect due to the heat radiating off the user and the blade. This visual effect is effectively a mirage that is caused when looking at something through heated air. What this visual effect does is cause the user and their sword to appear as if they are further away than they actually are. This causes those looking at the user to see them as if they are actually five meters farther back than they otherwise are. In order to distinguish the truth of the matter one must have a perception higher than this technique's power.

Weaknesses: The trick to this technique is simply the fact that it uses a normal occurrence in the world to the user's advantage. As such this technique would only work a few times at best before someone realized what one was doing and thus completely counteract it. Combined with the limited range in which this technique would be applicable (The five meter area around the user that appears off) and you get a technique that while a neat trick, is fairly easily countered. Chakra vision would also see straight through the technique as would any form of sensory as they would see exactly where the user and thus the attack, actually is.

Requirements: -
Parent Technique: Heat Shimmer
Hand Seals: -
Description: Heat Shimmer: Second Step, is a technique built upon the basic concept of Heat Shimmer in which rather than seeing the user being five meters back the user appears normal. The weapon however appears to be coming from a different direction when it is swung due to the mirage effect of the heat. A perception stat equal to or greater than the technique's power will allow one to see the feint for what it is.

Weaknesses: Again, as with the first technique, this uses a simple matter of heat manipulation that is commonly viewed in the world. As such it is fairly easily understood if seen only once or twice. Unlike the first level of this technique however Chakra Vision or base Sensory will not see through this. As unlike the first level the user appears exactly where they should be. Only the attack is hidden.

Classification: Fisei Clan Exclusive
Requirements: Chakra Flow
Parent Technique: Hi no Hana
Hand Seals: -
Description: Wreathed In Fire is a technique utilized by the Fisei Clan that is effectively an alternate version to the parent technique. Where in Chakra Flow the blade of the user would be engulfed in flames of B rank and have the weapons abilities increased. This technique instead eschews the stat increase on the weapon and focuses more on the fire. This causes the fire to be hotter than the parent technique as it’s the sole focus of the technique. Furthermore, the intensity of the flames causes the effective ‘tip’ of the weapon to be a meter out further from the end of the blade than normal. This effectively gives the users weapon a meter of length to it’s reach. Of course that length is purely fire and as such will cut/burn with the technique's power.

Name: Hi no Hana: Blooming Flower
Rank: A

Range: 0-50m
Speed: A
Element: Fire
Skill: Kenjutsu
Classification: Fisei Clan Exclusive
Requirements: Hi no Hana: Wreathed In Fire
Parent Technique: See above
Hand Seals: -
Description: While utilizing Wreathed In Fire the user swings their blade in a wide arc while the weapon is engulfed in flames. The point of this technique however is not to hit the opponent with the swing. As a matter of fact this technique works better if the user is at a distance. Blooming Flowers actual power is the thermal bloom behind the swing. Once the weapon is swung said thermal bloom will launch outward, causing a vicious, 3 meter tall, heat wave to radiate outward from the user. Said heat wave expands out in a wide arc from the user, reaching out to 50m away. The trick with heat is that unlike fire, it’s much more difficult to see, visible as a heat haze which treats an opponents perception as being reduced by 1 tier- (1 tier and one disadvantage) for the purposes of tracking the wave. Chakra vision and sensory of course can see and sense the chakra latent within the arc respectively. If struck those afflicted will take A rank fire damage. Furthermore, Wreathed In Fire is forcefully deactivated once swung in such a way due to the heat energy from the blade going to power the Thermal Bloom.

Weaknesses: Besides the exorbitant chakra cost found in having to pay for not one, but two techniques. The user has to reapply the base technique afterwards due to the forceful deactivation. Not only that but the user does in fact have to complete a ‘wide’ swing. With the full length of their arm, in order to launch the bloom outward far enough. For the sake of simplicity, if the swing is stopped in any way, the thermal bloom doesn’t just not reach it’s full range. But will completely fail to launch.

Parent Technique: Hi no Hana: Wreathed in Fire
Hand Seals: -
Description: ‘Brilliance’ is a Kenjutsu technique that utilizes the ‘Wreathed in Fire’ technique and minimizes it to a startling degree while gaining a new benefit altogether. The user uses the theory of ‘Wreathed in Fire’ (and thus chakra flow) to channel Katon chakra into their weapon at an incredible rate which increases the heat of the edge. This will cause the blade of the weapon to light up with a brilliant glow that is intensely hot to the touch. When struck by the weapon they will not only deal with the damage from the weapon itself but take fire damage equivalent to this technique's power from the same strike. Furthermore the brilliantly hot blade causes spots to appear in one's vision and will degrade the perception of those who see it by -- (Two disadvantages).
Weaknesses: Less of a weakness and more of a confirmed difference between this tech and normal chakra flow and ‘Wreathed in Fire’. This technique has no fire coming off of the blade increasing it’s reach or general range of striking. As such the striking area is still limited to just the weapon itself.

Element: Fire
Skill: Kenjutsu
Classification: Clan Exclusive
Requirements: Fisei Clan
Parent Technique: Hi no Hana: Brilliance
Hand Seals: -
Description: Flash of Brilliance must be used while ‘Brilliance’ is active on the user's weapon. This will, for a brief moment, cause the already brightly lit weapon of the user to flash a blinding light that will cause the eyesight of those looking toward it within technique range to be blinded. This will not increase the perception debuff of the previous technique but will temporarily (2 posts) remove their ability to see altogether. Should the modified constitution stat of those affected by higher than jutsu power they will be able to resist the brilliant flash of light.

Weaknesses: Requires ‘Hi no Hana: Brilliance’ to be active to even utilize, increasing the overall chakra cost of the combination.

Valen Minamoto wrote:Name: Crashing Waves
Rank: S
Power: S
Activation Cost: 30
Upkeep Cost: 20
Range: 100m
Speed: S
Element: Water
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Water Source
Parent Technique: -
Hand Seals: Horse
Description: Crashing Waves is a technique designed to knock people off of their feet and keep them that way. The waves begin by the user and require a large source of water. Once this requirement is met the water will churn and pull before becoming a large wave that moves over the user and crashes down into the area of the target. The water will then of course spread out in all directions forming a 100m wide area of water. The wave impacts with S rank force and furthermore will knock those with lesser strength off of their feet, beholden to the push and pull of the waves. Maintaining this technique will allow the water to maintain it’s tumultuous movement and keep those who have been knocked off of their feet off of them. The user has enough control of the waves to direct the waves toward them or away but none beyond that. Meaning they can force targets away from them with the push of the waves. Or bring them toward them with the pull of them.

Weaknesses: Large source of water nearby, boosted strength allows a target to escape the waves.

Name: Grand Whirlpool
Rank: S
Power: S
Activation Cost: 30
Upkeep Cost: 20
Range: 50m
Speed: S
Element: Water
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Water Source
Parent Technique: -
Hand Seals: Bear
Description: Grand Whirlpool creates an enormous whirlpool beneath the feet of the target. Of course this requires the target to be standing on a rather large source of water, however should this prerequisite be met the waters will begin to spin at S rank speed and a whirlpool will form over the duration of a single post. The whirlpool, should one be stuck within its depths, will spin those caught within it around the area of the whirlpool at the same speed as the spin. It will also draw the target down deeper into the whirlpool over the course of the next post. Should they reach the bottom of the whirlpool it will close violently and suddenly, dealing S rank damage to any caught beneath.

Weaknesses: Strength higher than jutsu power will allow one to swim out of the whirlpools hold. Although it is important to note that the pressure of the pool will make it impossible for flight based techs to let their users escape without that strength requirement. Of course one could also escape by propelling oneself upward with higher strength than the technique if one can manage it.

Description: Pressure Drill is a technique designed to impact something with a large amount of water. The user however will be able to generate this water themselves, forming it in their stomach before expelling it from the mouth like many other water ninjutsu. The water, when being expelled, will form a spiraling drill that expands to 10m wide and flows in the direction the technique is aimed. Should the technique impact something it will do so with S rank force however due to the extreme pressures and the drilling motion, will also have that damage count as piercing damage.

Element: Fire
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: -
Parent Technique: -
Hand Seals: Boar - Horse - Tiger
Description: Cage of The Ashbringer is a jutsu that is designed to entrap and keep opponents within a certain area to be fought. It is also specifically designed to make things as difficult as possible for those without certain capabilities caught within its confines. First, the jutsu emanates out from the user as a wave of heat at jutsu speed. This wave will not in fact have any power behind it. However once it reaches 50m, or for clarity's sake, 25m in every direction from the user. The ‘heat’ will rise and become a ring of fire that is 30m high from the surface it is set upon. This fire will even set water aflame, although of course if a water jutsu or equal or greater power comes into conflict with the fire it will put out the flames.

Those caught within the Cage will find the area within it getting increasingly hot as they are stuck within it. Any who try to move through the flames will take jutsu power fire damage. Those who remain within the cage will find themselves having the very power sapped from their muscles as they find themselves becoming sluggish and have difficulty moving. Those within the ring will have their coordination debuffed by 1 tier and 2 disadvantages. Effectively reducing their capability to react to what is around them and the speed at which they do so.

Weaknesses: Those who have a fire ‘affinity’ that is, the specific attunement one can have when gaining the ninjutsu skill assigned to fire. Will find the debuff portion of this technique completely and utterly ineffective against them. As their body is used to having the heat of fire around it and is able to resist the effects of the debuff. Of course they’ll still take the fire damage if they come into contact with the fire. Those with modified S rank constitution will also find themselves unaffected by this technique.

Speed: S
Element: Fire
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Fire Affinity
Parent Technique: -
Hand Seals: Horse - Tiger - Dragon - Bird - Tiger
Description: Balefire is a fire technique that is horrifically dangerous. The technique of course does fire damage equivalent to jutsu power. If that damage would be lethal to the target, or fully destructive, then it turns the target entirely to ash. Casting them into the wind and leaving no corpse behind. This is useful for the removal of evidence, or for ensuring transplants are unable to be gained from a corpse. Damage caused by this technique furthermore cannot be regenerated for three posts after the damage was taken. Meaning anyone struck by the Balefire will find their regenerative capabilities unable to fix the damage for three posts. This is due to the rapid carbonizations of cells at the damage point that any regenerative factor must heal through first in order to continue. Causing the process to slow significantly. The jutsu itself once the seals are formed is expelled from the mouth like most fire jutsu. Once expelled it will widen into a thirty meter wide blaze that travels the full jutsu range.

Weaknesses: Balefire’s regenerative factor halting only applies to regeneration that is not on a restricted level.

Name: Blade of Perdition
Rank: A
Power: A
Activation Cost: 20
Upkeep Cost: 10
Range: 3m
Speed: A
Element: Fire
Skill: Kenjutsu
Classification: Fisei Clan Exclusive
Requirements: Fisei Clan Bloodline
Parent Technique: -
Hand Seals: -
Description: Blade of Perdition is exactly the kind of technique one might expect from a clan of fire swordsmen. A blade made of a bar of pure fire is condensed into physical form and given mass. Allowing the weapon to physically interact and lose the normal insubstantial quality of fire. The weapon takes the form of a bright orange katana of fire that is held by the user in a hand. The katana forms with the hilt in the hands of the jutsu user at jutsu speed. It can be used for any kenjutsu technique and is considered to be a weapon of quality and durability equivalent to jutsu power. Unlike normal weapons however the Blade of Perdition cannot be maintained forever and will disappear into smoke when the user ceases to maintain it.

Damage caused by the Blade of Perdition is simple jutsu power fire damage. The weapon causes cauterization of wounds as it damages a target and as such will not cause lingering damage. Fire in it of itself however is a very destructive element by nature and the Blade of Perdition encompasses that fact. Any organic matter struck by it will have its constitution reduced by a single tier when determining the damage. Of course inorganic matter such as weapons, armor, and other such things will find itself able to withstand the burning.

This technique can also be overlaid over an existing weapon to give its constitution ignoring affect to a weapon the user possess’.

Weaknesses: Blade of Perdition, being a sword made of fire, has a ludicrously short range, being only able to maintain its shape when held by the user of the jutsu. Allowing one to keep away if they wish and avoid the technique entirely. Armor is a powerful deterrent to this technique for the sake of avoiding the constitution reduction as Armor is inorganic in nature. For the sake of clarity organic matter pertains to anything with a ‘constitution’ stat rather than a ‘hardness’ stat.

Upkeep Cost: -
Range: 100m
Speed: S
Element: Fire
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Blade of Perdition
Parent Technique: Blade of Perdition
Hand Seals: Tiger
Description: A personal development of the Blade of Perdition. This jutsu sacrifices the blade of fire by thrusting it deep into the ground and in doing so creates a wave of fire the emanates from the user in all directions for fifty meters in every direction (100m total). The wave travels outward at Jutsu speed and reaches twenty meters high. Incinerating any that are struck by it. The wave travels to its maximum distance before dispersing and is unable to be maintained.

Weaknesses: Beyond the chakra cost of utilizing one jutsu as a cost for another. In order to use this technique the user needs to thrust the Blade of Perdition into the ground which can leave the user in a precarious position if a savvy opponent can take advantage of it.

Activation Cost: 3
Upkeep Cost: 1
Range: 25m
Speed: D
Element: Fire
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Open Custom
Requirements: -
Parent Technique: -
Hand Seals: Tiger
Description: The user expels a simple smokescreen to give themselves cover. Useful for breaking line of sight and little else. The user expels the smoke from their mouth and the smoke fills a 25m radius around them. Providing cover and breaking line of sight. The smoke itself is generated in the chest but beyond that has no special properties. Meaning it cannot hide the user from sensory or chakra vision on the level of the Byakugan.

Weaknesses: The line of sight breaking goes both ways in most cases. Making this jutsu a calculated risk.
