Who's Akihiko?
o_o'
It was a rather quiet training field I stumbled upon, and in fact, if one were to look closely, the skies almost seem to be greying over...speaking of a storm that was to come.
Hello, Dr...Proof? I'm assuming you've come here to learn about Raiton. So, first and foremost, why do you want to learn Raiton and how do you plan to use it creatively in battle?
Great response. Lightning does indeed work very well with water, due to water being a natural conductor of lightning. You will soon see in the jutsus we are about to learn.
Before we dive completely into Lightning, let's spend a bit more time discussing its weaknesses and strengths.
What is it weak against and why?
And what is it strong against and how do you capitalize such an advantage in battle?
Well said and organized, keep them in mind as we progress through the training.
Alright...*makes several handseals and it begins to rain*
Proceed to cup up a bit of that water from the puddle into your hands.
Well done.
I'll now proceed to place my hand into the water, sending a brief shock of lightning through it. No doubt you have recoiled from it, but I wish for you to recount your experience and how you think the nature of lightning might flow.
Very good. Remember what Asuma told Naruto about the nature of Wind chakra, how it slices and cuts like a knife.
Of all the elements, Lightning is more wild and unstable, a very much different feeling than from Earth.
Now, try and replicate that feeling within your hands. Charge up your chakra so it almost...dances across the palms of your hands.
Well done. Now, proceed to soak in the absolute feeling of the Lightning...close your eyes and strive to control it and manipulate it.
Then, when you think you are ready, direct those bolts of Lightning at my clone.
Remember to state:
- Where you aim it.
- The effect it has.
Hm...well done. There's not much to this jutsu but very basic aspects. I will find ways to grind you through later. xD
Now, proceed to charge up chakra in both your hands.(Raiton no Jutsu) - Lightning Release Technique
Rank: D
Type: Offensive

Chakra cost: 10

Slam the ground as you release that Lightning chakra, aiming it so that it reaches my feet. Remember what happens when Lightning meets Earths.
So far so good.
Now, let's discuss this jutsu a bit.
In battles, there are short range (0-5 meters), mid (5-15), and long (15-25+). The range affects the timing of the jutsu (how long it takes before it hits your opponent) and also if the jutsu is strong enough to go so far.
This jutsu only goes to short range and mainly targets the feet. How might you use this in battle?
Excellent response.
Now, this time, instead of focusing your Raiton chakra into your hand, I want you to focus on letting it surround and blanket your body. Push it out from the pores of your skin and let it cover you like a shield.(Raiton: Raikou Oonami) - Lightning Release: Lightning Surge
