Fire Release: Fire Breathing Dragon Technique is an advanced Fire Release technique that makes use of proper breathing control through the diaphragm and concentrated breathe holding to release a continuous stream of intensely hot fire that can be maintained for comparatively long periods of time.
Overview[]
When used, this technique normally requires some time to prepare - the user must sequester the proper amount of oxygen in their chest before it can be executed to maximum potential. Storing oxygen and fire chakra in the chest area requires that they limit their breathing and movement to the best of their abilities. Overexerting oneself might result in losing the built oxygen which would produce a weakened version of the technique. Because of this process however, the flames which come from the stream of fire are much hotter, vivacious and long-lasting than what can normally be produced.
When in the hands of its creator who was a former President of the Gold District - and other experienced users - the jutsu is astonishingly quick and can keep pace with the likes of the Advanced Body Flicker Technique. Instead of simply exploding and searing on impact it is notoriously for simply ripping through opponents or turning them into a crisp quite instantly. Although not always, the jutsu might release a terrifyingly loud roar which sounds eerily similar to a dragon.
Once the flame stream has reached its impressive capacity it will explode with destructive force. The longer it is active the weaker the stream becomes, mostly because the user runs out of the oxygen and fire chakra stored in their chest cavity. Some have shown the impressive wherewithal to be in transit while using the jutsu while others must remain stationary. Temporary fatigue may follow use as the user is generally short on breathe. Still, the drawbacks seem to pale in comparison to a long-lasting, long range, unusually hot trail of fire that can challenge even the most impressive of defenses.
