Fire Release: Will-O-Whip Technique

Formulated by Jōnetsu, this is has since become a popular technique within the greater clan, earning the jutsu an eventual promotion to hiden. The skill is rather simple in practice; the user condenses fire into their palms before consciously feeding it, allowing it to extend into a finely honed whip. Once adjusted, the whip becomes self-sustaining, naturally taking more chakra from the user into maintain its shape and effectiveness. Likewise, a person can adjust the input, manipulating the thickness, length, and width of the weapon, allowing them to choose just how blunt or sharp they want their version to be. Resulting in a weapon capable of giving copious amounts of damage to adversaries and the surroundings. Particularly skilled users can control their whip remotely, using it as an extension of themselves while they attend to other aspects of combat. Though even skilled practitioners note that this requires a significant mental exertion. Thus very few can use this secondary aspect effectively.
