Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mistah and I are actually (Very slowly) working on a guild that will start out with giant monsters all over the place, attacking cities and s**t. It's gonna be pretty epic. Hopefully. If we ever actually finish it up. If not, I might just grab some of the pictures I found for it and drag them over here for use with my epic NPCs.

You can regard a post as a paragraph, with a 12 paragraph post for learning and explaining the mechanics of the jutsu, not just having it blow up in your face. Each paragraph is 4-5 lines.

Exhibit A (17 Lines)

Robin decided that it was time to actually focus on her fire element. Taking out a scroll, she decided to start on basics. The only academy jutsu that caught her attention was the fire release shuriken technique. This jutsu would allow her to exhale flames from her mouth in order to ignite a shuriken. It seemed easy enough, therefore she decided to learn this one first. (1/3)

Robin took out a kunai to practice on. She twirled it in her fingers as she remembered the seals that go with the jutsu. Clutching onto the kunai tightly, Robin released the kunai. The kunai sailed through the air as she took a deep breath. Performing the proper seals, Robin exhaled from her mouth. Unfortunately, the only thing she got was just a puff of smoke. (2/3)

This time, Robin made sure to gather enough chakra into the skill. That may have been her problem, that she hadn't gathered enough chakra. Grabbing yet another kunai, Robin launched her kunai forward. The kunai sailed through the air as she took a deep breath. Performing the proper seals, Robin supplied plenty of chakra in order to get it right this time around. A small flame shot out and ignited her projectile as it pierced a tree. (3/3)

Exhibit B (16 lines)

The fact of the matter was, how was Robin supposed to be a great saanin if all she knew was genjutsu and medical jutsu? Sighing at her own incompetence, Robin had decided that it was time to go back to the basics. She had been pondering for a while on what she should start on first, but she kept going back to Katon Ninjutsu. The Katon element would supply her with a vast number of offensive ninjutsu skills that could help her should she ever get into a fight in which genjutsu was not an option. Arriving at the training grounds, she began reading over the scrolls of academy leveled Katon jutsus. If they can do it, then someone as talented as her should have no problem performing the jutsu. Reading over the skills, she decided to try out the Katon Shuriken no Jutsu. According to the jutsu, she needed to not only coat the metal of a shuriken or kunai with chakra, but with her flames as well. Robin removed one of the kunais from her pouch, twirling it in her fingers as she held it up to her. Clutching unto it, she eyed it carefully, inspecting it as if trying to find something wrong with it. After several seconds, Robin shrugged her shoulders and began channeling her chakra unto the kunai. Finally satisfied, Robin picked her target, a tree that was at a distance of fifty yards away, shouldn't be too difficult to hit her mark. Robin took a deep breath as she spun her body around, the kunai in her hand cutting through the air as she came around full circle. Releasing the kunai, she quickly formed the seals required to perform the jutsu, ending with the Tiger seal. The chakra inside of her began surging upwards through her throat she exhaled a small flame, her target was the kunai. The flames hit the kunai, and as it did so, the chakra that was embeded in the metal was set aflame. The kunai continued traveling through the air as it pierced the tree trunk, the tree starting to catch on fire as Robin grinned proudly.

Katon: Shuriken no Jutsu (Fire Release: Shuriken Technique)
Description: A relatively basic katon, this one uses chakra to coat a metal shuriken or a kunai with fire. It is done so that the user first throws the shuriken, then exhales from his or her mouth a small flame that ignites the chakra-coated projectile. If the attack succeeds, not only will your opponent be hurt by the shuriken or kunai, but he will also suffer from burns.
Note: Only one projectile at a time.

(I hated writing Exhibit A...it took me longer to write that than it did B. Which is why I'm asking if posting in Exhibit B's format was okay? It's the required amount of sentences needed...it shows a good, flowing, roleplay and it shows that I know how to do the jutsu. Exhibit A just looks choppy and...ick...granted if this is not good, then I'll simply go to Exhibit A, though they may be horrid)

XP yeah, block text for a 60 line post would kill me too. But yeah, I guess that would have been a better way of asking, writing four long paragraphs rather than twelve short ones, but at least we got it clarified. Thanks Greg.

Oh...and I believe it's your post

ninja

Gregar, are you saying that as a Saanin I can't just teach myself jutsus, or that I wouldn't just have a scroll to my own main element?

I guess I can just delete the posts...go to the library...and post them again...or simply delete them and not learn anything and simply just stay a weak saanin

I've suddenly just lost the urge to roleplay right now. I guess I'll post that later today, or tomorow, or Tuesday. I don't know when, but have a good night and I'll post...at some point
