Fire Release: Fox-tail Ribbon Whip

Fox-tail Ribbon Whip
Feel free to use this jutsu!

Technique Description
Fox-tail Ribbon Whip is an interesting fire release ninjutsu that channels fire nature chakra into the hand(s) of the user, forming a tangible handle made of fire. The flames of this handle don't burn the user. From there, a long, ribbon-like whip or tether emerges from the hilt; anything that touches this whip, even the user, will be burned. A great deal of care and skill is therefore required to use this technique effectively.

The whip is primarily used in a similar fashion to a normal whip; it can lash, strike, whip, sweep, ensnare, and even bind a target. Of course, its fiery properties result in its increased deadliness.

Upon initial creation, the whip will consume chakra; the whip does not continue to consume chakra for the duration of its creation, making it a fairly cost efficient jutsu. Greater amounts of chakra can be poured into the whip to increase its power and to incinerate a captive target. A charred corpse is all that will remain of such a technique.

The length of the whip can be increased and decreased to cover more or less area and distance depending on the situation. This jutsu is most effective at short to medium ranges.
