[@Allycat] When in doubt, go for nothing but the most basic things. I'm assuming academy techniques will be default, so you should probably check the D or C ranked jutsus aligned to the element you want to use in the wiki. 
If I remember correctly, the wiki has a browsing thing where you can see all the jutsus matching the tags chosen, so It should be fairly easy to browse by yourself. It sort of does miss the stuff that isn't formally ranked but it should be fine for a genin since those don't generally know a lot.
