A technique that holds the very basis of Katon techniques, this extremely low ranked Ninjutsu was often used to light fires from dry or soaked wood, but very rarely as a combat technique. Upon completion of this technique, the user will deal 2 points of fire damage to the creature or object touched and automatically set it on fire, though creature touched get a Reflex save to avoid this fate. A touched creature will catch on fire for 1d4 rounds, but objects will burn until combusted or the fire is put out.

Using this technique, the user focuses a moderate amount of Chakra in his mouth and breathes out a very short stream of fire, which can serve various different purposes. It can be used against a creature occupying the same square as the user, dealing 2 points of fire damage, which can be halved with a successful reflex save. It can also be used against unattended objects and foodstuffs. Various things happen, depending on the number of round of exposure:
1st Round: Combustibles and fabrics catch on fire, meat is cooked "very rare."
2nd Round: Metal is warmed and becomes uncomfortable to the touch, meat is cooked "medium."
3rd Round: Metal is heated and causes 2 points of fire damage to the touch, meat is cooked "well done."
4th Round: Metal is searing and causes 1d6 points of fire damage to the touch, meat is hardly edible anymore.
5th Round and up: Metal can be used in various processes of metallurgy and crafts, such as weaponsmithing, and meat is carbonized and inedible.
Mastery
For each step of mastery, the technique can be held for one additional round.
