Raiton with Lili-Chwan Sensei

[The Alchemist]

None.
BTW I have no training in other jutsu or elements so that's why I use only lightning techs when I show my strategies. It's kinda hard to get proper training on NB.

 

[Reborn]

Well this training isn't just about using what you know or the skills you have, the basic elements and even the advanced elements are things you can get training in without the higher degrees of hassle (permissions and what not). Sure it may take a while but if you look for teachers but the basics are something essential and you'll get to use them most definitely if you remain vigilent in your training. That being said, even if you hav nothing right now, do some intuitive thinking, look at some of the other elements and techniques and get a feel for it yourself. If you do some studying beforehand, when people start training you and you already have a easier flow through that training. Also if it helps any, don't be afraid to try some experiments with theories, I can help you if you shoot out a combo or a strategy you think would work. If there's anything wrong I can correct you and then you'll know for next time.^^
_____________

Now onto the next method, I believe we're on the third one yes.

Method 3: Melee

My favorite to explain. Chidori and it's varients like Negashi and spear, etc. Explaining Chidori will basically outline the rest. Simply another shape+nature manipulation technique. Channel the raiton chakra in your hand, concentrate it so that the vibrations are so much so that they create the sound of chirping birds. Then the varients only have some slight modifications, however they all start with the creation of an initial Chidori in the palm (note: this does not mean you have to use Chidori before you use any of hte varients).

This one should be easy, Questions?

 

[The Alchemist]

So far you have outlined everything perfectly, so no I have no questions. I'll definantly be taking your advice about strategies and experimenting with theories as well.

 

[Reborn]

Alright, cool. Now since this is basically the Chidori set these next couple of tasks should be easy.

Tell how you would

• Create a powerful amount of lightning in your palm
• an Unfocused surge of lightning from your body
• A spear of lightning from the generated lightning palm
• Launch several needles of lightning from your lightning palm

 

[The Alchemist]

I'd first perform the necessary hand seals in order to concentrate my chakra into my palms. I then will use my chakra manipulation skills to mold it.

In order to create a surge from my body I will begin again by concentrating my ration chakra but in this instance I'll concentrate it all over my body spreading it out evenly for maximum power and conductivity. I would then release it forcefully from my pores in a powerful electric surge of energy.

Again first I would perform the necessary hand seals and concentrate ration chakra in my palm and mold it into a spear shape possibly coming directly from the center of my palm (imagine Scorpion from Mortal Kombat).

Lastly I would again perform the necessary hand seals and concentrate ration chakra in my palm but in the case of the needles I would divide the chakra using my chakra manipulation skills and make them almost like small beads of ration chakra all over my palm. I would then further mold them into thin needles after they have been divided from one another and fire them rapidly from my palm repeating this sequence (at a high rate of speed of course) until the chakra gathered has expired.

Insufficient do it again

How do you manipulate the chakra? There is several different ways you can manipulate chakra. All ninjutsu and genjutsu deals with manipulating chakra in some shape or form. When you're creating Chidori, what sort of manipulation are you using for this technique? Try to remember what Kakashi said about what he was trying to accomplish with Chidori. He was trying to do what Minato couldn't, add nature manipulation to Rasengan which uses a certain type of chakra manipulation.

Sure this surge is a rather high rank, but it's not what you'd consider "powerful". Remember how Sasuke used the technique against Team 7 all the way back in the earlier episodes, the lightning was a surge but it was a general release of a current, capable of paralysis, it's not a forceful technique, remember that.

you're good with the third one

This technique happens in a single whip of the hand. You release the needles with one whip and all the dozens of needles are released at once. The only thing that is different with this technique than the original chidori is that you release the chakra in one foul swoop. You do what you do for the normal jutsu, gather that chakra then release in a single swoop all that chakra using shape manipulation simultaneously to create the needles.
____________

Quick point, you only need hand seals for Chidori, none of the variants. Also, every one of the variants starts with the same method you use for Chidori except for the current. What happens with the variants is that you are adding a property to make it a different jutsu. Bare that in mind. Now try it again.

By concentrating the chakra in my hands I add the nature chakra with the shaping manipulation (I have no idea what Kakashi said because it was so long ago); by concentrating the ration chakra and shaping it into a near spherical ball of lightning I can insulate it bringing the electrical acuity higher

I only called it powerful because of it's rank. As I stated before I would concentrate my ration chakra yet for this technique I would send it out of the soles of my feet so that it can spread on the surrounding terrain evenly making it so that my opponent would have to retreat and reset for another attack or jump into the air limiting their movement

Answers in quoted text

 

[Reborn]

Chidori and Raikiri were results of attempts by Kakashi to incorporate nature manipulation to the Rasengan. Kakashi's technique is not like the Rasengan where the user creates a sphere in their palm, that isn't the goal with this technique. It is basis for which this jutsu was created. With Chidori and Raikiri you ARE NOT creating a sphere, you are simply focusing your chakra into your palm and amassing your ration chakra as if you were holding the very lightning in your grip. The chakra mass is strong enough and vibrates at such a degree it creates the sound of chirping birds and can pierce through most entities. NO INSULATION. the insulation of electricity (which is why it is weak to wind) disrupts it. You're not insulating anything with this technique you're simply amassing the chakra and shaping it to the palm so that it is concentrated most significantly there as the impact point.

This technique, with negashi, is not concentrated. It is a rather unfocused technique. The user releases their chakra in a current that is meant to stun opponents who come within it's range. It CAN be exerted from the feet but it's not a necessary requirement. The technique is not even, it is just a general current that is released.
______________
Also, another note. I'm not entirely sure on this, it's a topic for discussion concerning the use of the Chidori variants. Since every chidori variant, aside from negashi, begins with the formation of an actual chidori, the controversy is that you'd need to preform the handseal(s) for chidori before you are able to use the variant technique. This isn't official (I believe) however I would only say, tread carefully when using these techniques.

Any questions?

Alright, that's the technique list. You know the drill: Advantages, Disadvantages, and give me some strategies you'd use.

One of the most obvious disadvantages I've found is that most of the techniques have a limited range of short-mid meaning that jutsu of long range can keep me out of range. Also a lot of the jutsu appear to be (correct me if I'm wrong) streams subbing volume in place of raw power and accuracy. Also many of the techniques appear to rely on tai-jutsu as much as nin-jutsu meaning the user would need to penetrate their defenses and even if the user is able to do this they have the added disadvantage of leaving themselves open to counters.
The advantages in my opinion are that the jutsu are variants of chidori making their use and application faster since no hand seals are needed for most of them. Also because a few are streams instead of focused projectiles their area can have a wider range unlike jutsu such as chidori for instance which is focused inside of the palm.

 

[Reborn]

Pretty good, now there's another controversy involving some of these techniques like sharp spear, senbon, and lightning chain. Because those techniques require you to use chidori but dont' actually say you must use the jutsu before hand, it is speculated that you must use the actual technique of Chidori prior to using those three techniques and some of the others. That in itself is another disadvantage. I'm not entirely certain if this will be made into a rule or not but it's something to be conscious of.

Method 4: Specifics

This method, like the rest of the final methods in all the five basic elements, is composed of techniques that have no real direct relationship with one another nor can fit into any of the above categories. They are all unique beyond categorization within this system of training but they possess the basic properties of lightning which would be electrical force/energy and possibly high vibrations for cutting, etc.

We'll be doing things a little differently from here on out finishing up. Any questions before we proceed though?
