Ahh, I ended up looking throughout the Narutopedia wiki and noticed the incredibly small number of techniques that the two tails possessed, or just tailed beasts in general for that matter. Which I find strange, I refuse to believe something several thousand years old only ever learned how to shoot giant death balls at people despite literally being able to manifest an element at their whim. In the show it even says how the magnet release bloodline was made based off of Shukaku. So, I wish to explore the abilities that a literal embodiment of chakra could create through manipulating it when it is attuned to their element. Also, it was my first time writing a fight scene. If you have any advice or critiques about it, please do give some advice in the comments! :) .

~ 1st Pov ~
As I rise from the temple and start walking, I begin to ponder, what is fire and how does it work? It's something I wouldn't have been able to tell you despite being made of it. Which is a little funny to think about, as a human I knew more about the composition of fire than I had as a literal giant flaming panther. To be fair though, I've never had the need to understand what makes fire, well fire, my chakra naturally transforms into it when I will it too. Now that brings in a whole new slew of questions, how closely is my existence tied to chakra and what does that connection entail? I am a chakra construct, meaning I am basically a giant spirit or energy being. However, even that answer brings about several more questions, so let's start with what chakra is and break it down from there. Chakra is the fusion of physical and spiritual energy merging to form a new energy that's able to interact with reality, it possesses seven different elements called nature releases, those being yin, yang, wind, fire, water, lightning, and earth. Let's put aside five of the elements for now and focus on yin and yang, yin is the representation of spiritual energy whilst yang is the representation of physical energy, meaning the formation of chakra can be considered a yin-yang technique. Why does this matter to me though, it's because I am a chakra construct, which begs the question where does my physical energy come from? That's a mystery I'll leave for a later me, let's focus back onto what is a more immediate concern.
Refocusing my awareness onto my surroundings, I realize that I have reached the rocky cliff face that's been marred with scorch marks from yesterday's practice. I've tested the admittedly small repository of fire jutsu's in my possession, so how can I begin to create new techniques? Hmm, let's start with just basic control and manipulation of fire release. Deciding that, I begin to conjure a single ball of fire to float ahead of me, upon doing so I begin to will it to move, from side to side, then to up and down. After toying around with the small ball of flame for a while I choose to increase the difficulty by forming a second fire ball right beside the previous one, I then start moving them in synchronization where they fall into a methodical pattern rhythmically swaying to and fro alongside each other. Here's where things will become rather tricky, my next step in control training is to make them go in opposite directions, one going up and down and the other going from side to side. Unfortunately, I fail to do so, one of them became unstable as I focused onto the other one and ended up slamming into the ground, it was like trying to draw a circle with one hand and a square with other one. Sighing, I decide to end things there for the day and move back towards the temple to take a stroll through the neighboring meadow.
It's truly mesmerizing to just stop and watch the world in detail. One thing that is indefinitely superior to being human is how well I can perceive the world, the clarity in which I can view things had never been so pristine as a human, that's not to mention the entirely new senses that humans just don't possess, such as the ability to perceive heat, and chakra. It is a unique sensation, feeling heat, it's like viewing a fuzzy cloud and the closer it is the less fuzzy and more concentrated, maybe even sharp, it becomes, going from a ball of smoke to a flickering flame. Sensing chakra is quite like this as well; however, they remain as a fire whilst in my range of perception regardless of the distance. The only unique thing is how they feel can be completely different, some of the chakras I've encountered can feel cold and icy, whilst others are blazing and full of vitality, there is just a slew of other adjectives that could be added to these different descriptions as well. As I just stood here, observing the world, and contemplating my existence, time passed, and dusk had arrived.
~ 16 years later – 3rd person perspective ~
In a wide forest clearing, where grass grows unhindered, the evening breeze lightly caressed the ground below causing the greenery to limply sway with its flow. Animals slowly meander through the meadow, whilst a pack of deer indulge in their evening meal, and smaller animals slink low to the ground as they navigate the land, with their presence only noticed by the observant eye. Yet all of them remain unaware of the presence of a beast as it lurks in their surroundings, just beyond the edge of the clearing, concealing itself from its designated prey. As time stretches on it slowly maneuvers, inching itself closer and closer to the herd of deer. It carefully approaches the herd of dear, with silent, calculated steps. Startled, one of the deer suddenly jerks its head up high, looking at its surroundings with an uneasy gaze, with the rest of its herd soon follow its example as they all noticed the abnormal sensation of heat in the air. Feeling as if something's wrong they start to flee, Pounce!! Yet one of them had been too slow as the beast jumped out of the foliage with a roar, a loud thud followed by the sound of flesh being torn, the beast had managed to sink its fangs into the neck of a doe, who'd been struggling at the back of the herd.
~ Scene change – 1st person perspective ~
As I tread through the forest, I shortly arrive at a clearing, yet that's not what I am focused on. My attention is drawn to the 3 meter long and 2 meters tall panther, its body was composed of blue flames with black stipes cascading upon its surface. Noticing my arrival, it turns its head in my direction and dishes out a derisive snort, with eyes full of contempt, as if asking how lazy an individual can be. After this mocking charade its body collapsed inwards as it burst into a ball of flame that spread outwards in a circular motion, as this occurred, I gained a fresh set of memories affirming the success of my new technique, Hono no Keshin-Jutsu (Flame Avatar technique). It Is a technique that enables me to condense an avatar capable of independent thinking, and after the technique stops running it can burst out in a flare of chakra, alongside that it sends me the memories that it gained whilst active as well, unfortunately I wasn't able to link it's perceptions to my own, at most I can relay directives and orders to it whilst it's active, and it can only send a single burst message back, any other attempts to send information whilst maintaining the technique have failed so far. With a shake of my head, I stop pondering about the intricacies of this jutsu and bring my attention to the deer that was hunted by my avatar and begin debating whether I should eat it or bring it to something that will. After a full five seconds I decided upon bringing it to something that would consume it, as a chakra entity I don't require food to sustain myself, however I can most definitely taste it, and raw meat isn't the most delicious of things in the world. Hoisting the carcass up and between my jaws, I begin to walk south of the clearing towards where a pack of wolves had taken up residence, fortunately it was only a few dozen or so kilometers away from here, and I am sure they'll find it if I leave it in the area.
As I was making my way towards my destination, I began to reminisce about the changes in my life that occurred because of the fusion that took place eleven years ago. Where I come to the stark realization that nothing major in my lifestyle has changed, only that I take the time out of the day to train, or just mess around, with my abilities more frequently, as well as more devotedly, than I had in the past. I guess memories of having been so utterly powerless in the face of disasters compared to what I am now give me the motivation to do something with my talents, alongside the fact that a life without chakra, or any special abilities for that matter, give a new perspective on how I've been idling away with such an ability. Outside of that though nothing has changed for me as a whole, I still live the life of a hermit at this temple, one funny thing though was a group of humans passed through the area a few years ago and ended up fleeing in terror after seeing me, they seemed to be shinobis too based on how quickly they were able to vacate the area, oh well.
Let's get back to the techniques I was talking about earlier, I had created five C rank techniques, four B rank techniques, two A ranks techniques, and a singular S rank technique which is a higher level of one of the A rank techniques. To be honest making these techniques was a lot easier than expected, the hardest part was probably gaining the proper proficiency on their manipulation rather than making the technique. Most of them were just derivates of fire manipulation with only three being new, or unique, these three were the Hono no Keshin-Jutsu that was just being practiced, the second one is a method of meditation, it really isn't anything special yet, but I have the feeling that as it advances it might gain some special abilities or aspects to it, and lastly the third technique was derived from the mediation method, it is a heat sensing technique, when meditating I can focus my awareness on heat that I am perceiving which can slowly be expanded to an increased range as time passes with the only down side being the necessity of standing still.
Phew, finally arriving at the wolf forest territory I lowered my head, and with a light thump the deer carcass fell onto the ground. With that done and out of the way with, I turned around and started trudging backwards towards the temple, with all things considered I should be there in thirty to forty minutes of walking. Now what should I do after I get ba--
"Mokuton: Mokuryu no Jutsu!" (Wood release: Wood dragon technique.)
A violent tremor spread through the ground and the forest churned to life as giant wooden dragons shot forward as if racing to encapsulate me. In shock, I could barely manage to jump back, only dodging two of the wooden dragons, whilst my hind leg and tail were ensnared by the other two that had crashed towards me. With a bellowing roar, I begin to thrash my body, and start to spur my chakra to flair at the world around me. Yet as I do so, I begin to feel the wood dragons siphoning my chakra away from me. Enraged by what's happening I twist my head to see who attacked me! There I see a human in red armor standing ramrod straight amongst the trees with an imposing aura flaring around him.
"HUMMANN!!!, UNHAND ME!!!" I Scream at him. Yet he remains silent and begins to form hand signs. Feeling as if something horrible would begin to occur if he was able to continue, I decide to attack him, even in my restrained state of being,
"Katon: Shakunetsu no kokyu-jutsu!" (Fire release: Scorched breathing technique.)
A pillar of blue flames shoots out of my mouth, towards the human in red, yet it was swiftly dodged and further accompanied by the release of his own technique.
"Mokuton: Hotei no Jutsu!!" (Wood release: Laughing Buddha technique. Giant wooden hands.)
With thunderous crack the land churned and five hands each thirty meters tall shot up into the sky surrounding me proving my hunch correct, yet now all I can feel is dread as the hands crash down with the force of a mountain. With a mighty slam the earth heaves as I am pressed into it causing me to release a piercing wail of pain. With my body restrained I and my chakra being suppressed under this monsters' machinations all I can do is watch in despair as he pulls out a scroll and unseals an amber jar that is covered in black patterns full of mysticism. As the hateful man in front of me takes the lid of the jar I feel a terrifying suction force begin to act up on myself, dragging me into the jar. With desperation a violently begin to flare the little chakra I can still control cause scorch marks to for upon my bindings, yet they remain steadfast, not letting up their relentless suppression of myself. With hatred marring my figure I can only thrash and roar as my being is forced into the jar, and as my body is fully dragged inside the wooden binds upon me are released, yet before I can act upon my newfound freedom the little light shining into the jar is cut off as the lid is placed back upon it, followed by cold and ruthless voice shouting "Hakke no Fuin Shiki!!", and just as that voice fell my last futile attack is easily suppressed with the jar, nearly inflicting damage upon myself.
