Fire Release: Summoning Dragon Blast

This is a technique developed by Minato's clan in which the user is able to place a jutsu formula upon an object that they touch and then detonate that formula in the same manner as a paper bomb.

Use
The technique involves the user first molding and building up a large amount of fire release chakra and then performing the hand seals Dog, Ox, Snake and Dragon; the user then slams either one or both palms onto the ground. From there the gathered chakra flows out of their hands and out in the form of the jutsu formula. The formula can then spread out from the hand, an aura of blue chakra surrounding it as it moves into position and takes shape; once the formula is in place it draws in the surrounding air as well as the chakra aura and seals it inside itself.

Detonation
Before the formula can be detonated it needs to 'heat up', the air sealed into the formula is kneaded with the fire chakra and then begins to heat up; the larger the formula the longer the heating period, and the more obvious it will become as it begins to glow red from the heat if the formula is large rather than small.

Once the formula has built up enough heat the user can form the Dragon, Dog and Tiger seals in order to detonate it. The formula then creates an explosion equivalent to a paper bomb!

Trivia

 * The amount of chakra required varies on the size of the formua that the user wants to place.


 * The explosive force of the formula increases proportionally to the size of the formula used.


 * The technique has also been shown to be flexible in terms of use, as during peace time Minato's mother had been shown to use this technique in order to make fire works for a celebration.


 * The original design of the technique had been written upon a scroll, however, when Minato's family had been killed, the scroll had been destroyed. OVer the years Minato attempted to rediscover the technique from what he could remember of both his mother and his grandfather using the technique, but he could never quite grasp it. It was only after Sasuke helped him that he finally figured out the secret to finishing the jutsu.


 * Though this technique is meant to be performed by a single person, Minato often has Sasuke help him by lending him chakra while Minato himself focuses upon the actual creation of the formula.
