[McRazor]

Alright, sorry for the long wait and anticipation, but I've had a lot of applications that I needed to review and to sync with other applicants and training fields as well as some other stuff I had to take care of. Now that everything is done we can finally start the training. My name is McRazor and I will be your sensei, hopefully until the very last jutsu in this jutsulist.

 

[Chihaya]

Oh yay, I was so surprised to see that you actually picked me o_o ^^
*ahem* well, hi sensei, can't wait to start training :3 I'm Chihaya

I hope I picked right.

Now, before we start with the actual training I want to say a few things. First of all I have chosen to train you after seeing your other training threads and I'm hoping to have a quality training and to pass as much of my own knowledge onto you. For that, I need your full cooperation and I need you to read, think and ask questions. If you can do these things then I'm sure we'll both enjoy the training and it won't be mindless copy-pasting from the jutsu list.

I'll try to explain the core of each jutsu the very best I can and I will sometimes add some possible usages and anything I find interesting about the jutsu and in return I would like you to give me your opinion on the jutsu, how you would use it, how you would defend if it was used against you and so on. In essence, I want this training to be like a discussion instead of me telling you what to do and what not to.

Do you have any questions?

 

[Chihaya]

So I give my opinion on it, how I'd defend against it, and how I'd use it and just discuss it a bit? Alright I'll try my best to be one of your best students >:3

More or less. Now, let's start with some of the very basics. What can you tell me about ninja, chakra and ninjutsu? Please use your own words and tell me everything you think is necessary. I will not grade your response and it's ok if you miss some points. I'm here to add on and fix your mistakes, so no worries.

 

[Chihaya]

Okay, well a ninja is basically people who fights for their village. Each belong to a village unless you're a rogue ninja. They go on missions and in times of need they will protect their village. Ninjas use their chakra to try and create techniques and use then in battle.

Chakra is something every ninja needs to do their techniques. It's something that they mold within them. They use their spiritual energy and mold it. When a ninja manipulates their chakra they can use it to do things that wouldn't normally be possible. Like spit fire, to walk on water, make clones of themselves or something.

Ninjutsu is what ninjas basically use as their techniques. Examples of this would be Genjutsu, Taijutsu, etc. Ninjutsu allows the user to do attacks that would be impossible without using Ninjutsu... like healing someone.

That is all my knowledge ._.

Alright, alright. It's good, you get the grip of it and I'll expand a bit on the definitions.

Ninja

A ninja is someone who uses their full abilities in the service of his/hers beliefs, working to achieve a goal. This goal can be anything from peace to war, money, destruction, personal griefs or even revenge and can be shared with others or individual. Most ninjas are fighters and correspond to the bulk of the military force of the great nations. However, a ninja doesn't need to be a fighter. Even medics or a simple carpenter may, in times of need, use his abilities (medical knowledge or abilities in working with wood for example) to accomplish the goals he set to himself, following his beliefs.

Chakra

Chakra is the energy that is formed through the passive combination of both the Physical and the Spiritual energies in a sentient being (every living being with a conscious mind has chakra). Physical energy corresponds to the vitality of the body and its own energy. Spiritual energy corresponds to the mind or spirit, and comes from the awareness and "soul" of each sentient being.

Some ninjas have high levels of chakra because they have great physical energy (like the Akimichi or even Tsunade) and others because of their spiritual energy (like the Uchiha and the Yamanaka). However, its much more difficult to increase the spiritual energy than the physical one, thus why all ninjas pass through intensive physical workout.

Yin and Yang are based on this same concept. Yin is the basis of the spirit while Yang the basis of the body. In this i won't go into more dept because there are 2 things to consider: Yin/Yang manipulation in our RP is different from the manga one and both are more or less inacessible.

Chakra flows in a circulatory system inside your body, in a way that much resembles the blood circulation. This circulatory system has 8 small reservoirs that act as both storage but also chakra regulation. These are the eight inner gates. Along your circulatory system, small "portals" exist that enable you to expell chakra from your body. These are called Tenketsu and there are 361 of them scattered allong the body. When a tenketsu opens, chakra poors out of it. Its by molding the chakra that comes out of the tenketsu that you produce ninjutsu and genjutsu.

Ninjutsu

Ninjutsu, or Ninja Arts, is the ability to, through the use of chakra, accomplish tasks that would be otherwise impossible to do. Ninjutsu are done by 2 stepts: focusing your chakra and molding your chakra. Focusing is using your will power to "will" a portion of your chakra to do something. On the other hand, molding is giving your chakra a set of characteristics that will enable you to produce the desired end effect.

Think of the chakra flow as our breathing. Normally, it happens passively, without any conscious intervention. However, when you need to you can use your will to control it. Its the same with your chakra flow. Its happens normally without your consicious intervention. However, you can focus your chakra and make it produce something.

Now, molding the chakra is done by two basic principles: Shape Manipulation and Nature Transformation. These correspond to the two broad areas that one needs to change in the chakra to produce a jutsu. Shape manipulation pertains to the ability to give your chakra a desired form while Nature transformation pertains to the ability to give your chakra a desired set of characteristics/properties. Sometimes, to better mold chakra, ninja use Handseals. Handseals are simply hand gestures that allow the ninja to more easily concentrate and mold the chakra into the desired technique.

Ooooh. I knew that >_>
Pssh. Jk
Actually I learned a lot from that, I understand better now.

 

[McRazor]

Excellent then. That's the definition of training.

So, let's start with the elements now. There are 5 of them and I'd like you to name them and tell me everything you know about them as well as their interactions.

 

[Chihaya]

Water: Water is strong against fire, but weak against Earth. Using this on paper would result in the paper becoming wet. The user can manipulate water around/near them, or make their own by transforming their chakra into water. Water techniques can change their shape and state. It takes more effort to create water, rather than just using the water that is already existing. Water can be used with Lightning to increase the flow of electricity. This would upgrade the damage taken by the opponent. Offensive water attacks seem to inflict harm from the sudden force, which would result in internal damage to a human. Water users are common in Kirigakure.

Fire: Fire is stronger than wind, but weaker to water. This is because water douses flames and smothers them. If you were to do the paper training technique the paper would catch on fire then turn to ash. Fire is common in Konoha, the Uchiha's. To preform fire techniques you would mold heated chakra inside your stomach before releasing it out of your mouth, after it passes through the lungs. Fire is usually mid to long-ranged offensive techniques. This attacks normally cause combustive and explosive damage. Fire can be used with wind to upgrade the strength of the fire.

Wind: Wind is weak against fire, but strong against lightning. It is weak against fire because flames are naturally fueled by air/oxygen. Wind techniques are preformed by creating your chakra thin and sharp. The wind element is rarely common. And for the paper training, you would use the wind to split the paper into two different pieces. Wind can be used with water to increase the overall destructive power. The attacks are mainly short to mid-ranged offensive techniques. Wind chakra can also be channeled into blades to increase their cutting power and range. This is common in Sunagakure.

Lightning: Lightning is weak against wind, but strong against Earth. This time, for the paper training, the paper would wrinkle up, just as Kakashi's did. Lightning is weak against wind because it can travel through and also break the ground. Although, it is weak against wind because it is an insulator. Since water conducts electricity, this means that a water technique can be used to increase the damage of a Lightning technique. Lightning can be put into a bladed weapon (just as wind can too) through chakra flow for increased power through vibrations, which could result in inflicting numbness. Lightning Release is common in Kumogakure. Lightning allows the user to create lightning by increasing the vibrations of their chakra, allowing for striking damage and quick movements.

Earth: Earth is weak against lightning, but strong against water. Having the paper, the paper will decay into dirt and crumble away. Earth techniques allows the user to use their surrounding earth for offensive and defensive purposes. Or they could create the mud, rock, dirt, etc. Earth techniques are common in Iwagakure. You can either make the earth super hard, or extremely soft, also lighter or heavier. The user can also travel through the ground. Earth release can be preformed by slamming your palm onto the ground. Earth is strong against water because earth usually contains water or can absorb water. It's weak against lightning because it can travel through the earth and break it apart. Earth can be used with Fire Release.

And I'm unsure about lightnings range, if it's long/short/mid/etc.. >_>

This is perfect. Well done. there's not much that I can add that would really be relevant to this training session so let's continue. Since you already mentioned the chakra paper let's get to it. shows paper. now that you have the paper, place it inbetween your palms and start awakening your lightning chakra. I suggest that you asume a comfortable position first. then I need you to use all the knowledge you gathered so far and to explain as detailed as possible, everything that you're feeling.

(Sorry for the grammar, typing from phone)

 

[Chihaya]

After I take the paper from my sensei, I go to sit under a nearby tree. Staring at the paper, I wipe the sweat off my hands before placing the paper between my palms. Concentrating, I shut my eyes. I begin thinking about how lightning is strong against Earth, and how it's weak against wind. I picture myself in a place where there is no wind, and the only thing surrounding me is Earth. A place where lightning would be superb. Up above, I envision lightning striking in every directing, going wild. It's like bright cracks in the darkened sky. I feel the uneasiness of getting struck, but also feel my adrenaline begin to pump with eagerness. I try my hardest to focus my chakra into the paper. After multiple times of failing, I finally begin to feel vibrations throughout my chakra. Feeling a bead of sweat drizzle down my forehead, I continue to concentrate. After a couple more attempts the vibration grows steady and suddenly I feel the paper crunch between my hands. The slight tingling feeling fades away and I open my eyes. I look at the crumbled paper and feel a rush of accomplishment. Smiling, my eyes flicker towards my sensei.

Bravo! You get a B+. If you happened to mention your physical and spiritual energies molding into chakra and then using nature transformation in order to awaken your lightning chakra and finally channeling it into your hands it would be an A, no doubt about it.

Either way, we're almost set to start with the jutsu. The last thing that is important are the jutsus themselves. There's a large amount of lightning jutsus and they vary a lot while there are also a lot of similar ones, thus why they can be sorted into a few groups. What do you think could those groups be?

 

[Chihaya]

Okay... erm... well despite my "dedication" I couldn't find anything to spark my thoughts >_>'. Could the groups be defensive techniques, offensive techniques, and things like that? I'm sorry but I'm clueless ._.

 

[McRazor]

Nope. They are:

Method 1: Bolts/Projectiles
Method 2: Currents/Wide Spread
Method 3: Melee
Method 4: Specifics (Kirin/16 Pillar/Blinding Light/Vortexes)

In short, the main difference is between projectiles and currents. For projectiles you build up an amount of chakra and you release it from your body. The technique travels towards the opponent afterwards and as soon as the chakra leaves your body you can start building up a new technique.

With currents it's different because they require constant supply of chakra which means that as long as you focus on the current you cant perform other techniques.

Melee is kinda obvious and the prime example is Chidori and the last group are specific techniques that cant' be sorted in any of the previously mentioned groups.

 

[Chihaya]

Ahh.. I would of never thought of those groups in a million years. I understand now though :3

(Raiton no Jutsu) - Lightning Release Technique
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will manipulate their chakra to create small bolts of lightning to attack their target.

Good then, since you understand I want you to tell me in which group does this technique fall? As you can see it's a pretty straightforward technique. It's amazing because of its mid range reach and low chakra cost which makes it perfect as an opening technique. If you do open a battle with this then you can expect the opponent to defend with wind which is an advantage because then you can follow up with a fire technique. Following this principle you can and should always stay a step ahead of your opponent and instead of thinking just about now and here think of the future and what might happen. It might seem a bit odd but with battle experience you will get the grip of it. Please perform the technique in the same fashion you did with the chakra paper and I want an A this time. Then tell me the advantages/disadvantages of the technique and how you would defend if it was used against you.

 

[Chihaya]

I believe it is projectile. At first I was thinking melee, but I'm going to go with projectile. Because I'm pretty sure bolts leave the body.

Before I start, I take a deep breath, then I begin concentrating. As I stand there, I envision lightning bolts, and hear the thunder that comes after. I begin molding my spiritual and physical energy together, making the chakra. My mind then drifts back to the thought of lightning. The blinding flash it creates, the crackling sound and the way it jolts through the endless sky. It's as if the lightning has been contained and finally broke loose, rampaging throughout the sky. Within moments, the jolts that I imagined throughout the sky, rumbled through every inch of my skin. The same vibrating feeling I felt earlier danced through my chakra. Quickly after, I could feel the jolts of lightning escape, bolting out of me. They were small bolts, but I knew they still held power. I could feel it quite clearly.

Advantages of this technique would be the low chakra cost, and the mid range. Also, because of the small chakra cost, you could use this more than once and still have a good amount of chakra left.

Some disadvantages would be if the enemy was a long distance away, the attack wouldn't be able to reach them. Another disadvantage would be that it is a low rank, so the enemy could hit back with a higher ranked attack, putting myself at less health than them.

If I had to defend against this attack, I would use some kind of defensive wind technique, because Lightning is weak against wind. Also I could try to jump out of the range of the attack, or keep my distance.

Yes, it's a projectile. Melee would be something with only short range listed although technically short range is up to 5m and melee would be your immediate vicinity.

Either way, perfectly done. True, a defensive wind technique would work but why defend when you can attack at the same time? You should never let the opponent control the battle and always try to get the upper hand by overpowering his technique and having it continue towards him, putting him back onto the defense and preparing your next offensive maneuver. Also, jumping back is a lame tactic that shows that you're scared and as soon as you're mid-air you're in a disadvantage because your movements are drastically reduced. Mid-air you have a hard time changing directions which gives your opponent another chance to strike. Based on this, please find a suitable wind jutsu, that could work very well against these bolts whilst also putting the opponent on the defense, and copy paste it.

 

[Chihaya]

Is it alright if I post more than one? I surprisingly found that more than a couple would work.

Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Rank: D-Rank
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: The user will release basic simple blasts or streams of wind from his limbs or mouth to defend or attack an enemy.

---

Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user unleashes a wave of wind that slashes at the opponent by swinging their hand or hands.

---

Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user releases a stream of wind infused chakra from their mouth that takes on the shape of a twister to attack the enemy.

Would those work? >.>
And it makes sense to me now, that it would be logical to defend with a wind attack, rather than a defensive one. Sorry about that.
