Fire Release

The techniques are fire-based Ninjutsu. Fire Release techniques burn everything they touch, with a high temperature chakra that is like fire. The fire element can burn objects and like the wind element, it is a specialized offensive type of chakra.

The Uchiha clan focus primarily on Fire Release techniques and their most notable move is the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique. The Tiger hand seal is associated with Fire Release techniques.

Fire Release techniques are common knowledge to shinobi of the Fire Country. Fire techniques are weak to water, but strengthened by wind. All of that considered, Kakuzu, by executing a wind release technique in conjunction with a Fire Release was able to generate a fire technique that was able to overpower a Water Release technique.
