I don't know what kishi was thinking with regards to naming it a release, but you can even look it up. Blaze Release isn't even given a separate page from Fire Release. In addition Jiraiya's Fire Sealing Scroll worked on it. Plus there's the fact that Itachi Jutsu Countered Sasuke's Fire Jutsu during their battle. When two jutsu of the same element meet one another the one with more chakra absorbs the one with less chakra and becomes stronger, remember? That's precisely what happened in that fight. It's a a release in name only.
