As you stand alone in the isolated training field, the sky darkens and storm clouds gather until an intense lightning strike occurs mere meters in front of you, creating an explosion of bright light and electricity. Once the dust cloud begins to clear, the silhouette of an approaching man can be seen.

Lightning is a truly frightening force of nature, not all are fit to wield its power. Young shinobi, tell me all you know of this element.

As an explosion of bright light and electricity appread before Sora, he squinted and shielded his eyes with is right arm. Sora, slightly smiled as he saw the silhouette and heard the voice of the man.

" Lightning is one of the five basics elements. It is strong to against Earth because it can travel threw the land and break it apart with ease, though it is weak to wind because it is a natural electric insulator. Lightning can be used in conjunction water to cause more damage or even kill your opponent because water is a conductor of electricity. Last but not least the lightning style is common to the ninja of my village, Kumogakure. "

Kakuzu nods his head in acknowledgment to what his student is saying, but sighs as his explanation of Raiton ends so abruptly.

Whilst you covered the basic, you've barely begun to scratch the surface. I'll give you a run down of all of the main elements (especially Raiton), make sure to commit this to memory. Once you've read and understood the following, we will continue.

Lightning Release is the use of high frequency and is the most fleeting of all the elements. It arguably takes the most control due to its dangerous nature and the lethality it possess. The interaction of the molecules within it, further contribute to its level of instability, requiring the user to take much more care in handling this element compared to the others. Fundamentally, its the control over raw streams of electricity which can be tamed with the right control, it relates most to the Fire element due to its destruction if not contained or used properly and the high level of self-control someone requires to manipulate it correctly. One common misconception is that Lightning release travels as fast as natural lightning, when in reality Lightning is far slower than its naturally occurring counterpart due the user taking control of/taming the lightning. The element itself occurs in three main forms: Normal Lightning, Plasma and pale-blue pillars which emit electricity.

Wind Release is the element that allows us to create and manipulate wind. When you think of wind you think of something that is fast, free flowing, unpredictable, and strong. In the Narutoverse and in our RP, wind release has a variety of different properties which makes it versatile in its own right. For one, we have the ability to create long and short powerful gusts of flowing wind. Mainly these techniques that are designed to provide resistance against oncoming attacks, reversing the trajectory of weaponry, etc. We can also create short concentrated/compressed bursts of wind that give a pseudo solid form which can be used for blunt force or strong impacts. These would mainly be offensive in nature. There is also vacuum or suction power that can be generated, drawing objects in for close combat or sucking away the oxygen for suffocation. However, one of the more prominent abilities of wind release that we’ve come to know from the Narutoverse is the powerful cutting power that it possesses. Mainly from characters like Naruto, Asuma, and Sora, the wind nature has been shown to be able to slice and cut through things like butter. Wind is the movement of many gases in the air, though we’ve been shown to manipulate just the air itself and call it wind release by comparison due to the relationship.

Water is the most calm and free-flowing elements. These characteristics dictate its nature, making it useful in combat due to the fluidity and intense lack of control that is required to utilize it. Lightning and Fire take extreme control, but manipulation of water takes calmer movements and so controlling it comes more naturally. While its the calmest element, it can also become one of the most destructive. Putting a large amount of force behind of wave gives it power that can't be paralleled by all the other elements. In terms of scale, Water has the highest potential to be the "best" element, a clear testament of this is Kisame of the Akatsuki. Water comes in three main forms: normal water, sticky water and oily flammable water.

Earth Release is often considered the element of sturdiness and durability. Unlike other elements which come and go with time, it is an ever eternal presence in the environment which endures all types of weather regardless of how harsh conditions become. Earth can be used as a shield or blockade defensively to dissipate the force of powerful waves of water or non-cutting gusts of wind. It can withstand great heats, acting as a heat sink but also as a physical barrier to prevent weapons passing through. Its strong against water, its natural ability to prevent water from passing through it whilst passing through water itself is a reason for this. However its weak against lightning. The lightning conducted along the earth causes it to break up, lose its natural composition and break down due to the penetrative abilities of Raiton. Doton can either be used in this solid rocky form or its adhesive mud-like variant, granting the element further versatility. As well as the conventional uses of the element, the mud variant can be used to bind opponents in place, clash with other elemental jutsus or be used in many effective combinations. The mud-variant is most commonly used along with Fire to form pseudo-lava (molten mud), making for a very dangerous substance. Along with Suiton, its versatility stems from the state of matter it naturally occurs in. Due to having physical substance, Doton can be shaped into various structures from defensive walls to jagged spikes, from an earth dragon to a single pillar of earth. Furthermore, in terms of terrain-based advantage, Doton can be used to manipulate the ground beneath and around the opponent, allowing for limitless potential in creating successful combos. I like to think of the element as the perfect balance between offensive, defensive and supplementary usage, as no confines exist on what the user can create.

Fire Release is the usage of superheated chakra to create flames and heat-intensive attacks. Its created through channeling Katon chakra to the user's lungs and exhaling the built chakra in various forms. Katon is most commonly used in its fire-based form, but it can also take the shape of a plume of superheated ash or a misty flammable gas. In terms of raw potential, its considered the least versatile element as it excels in offensive capabilities, lacks in supplementary usage and is ill-suited to use as a defensive element. Despite this, Katon is the most ferocious element to contend with due to its sheer raw power. The heat of the element makes it capable of reducing earthen structures to molten mud, the parasitic nature of it means it preys on the oxygen within wind-based attacks to supplement the flames and even against its elemental superior, large-scale Katon techniques are capable of reducing large bodies of water to scorching mist of dense steam. The Katon element has little usage outside of destruction, to a certain degree its the hardest elemental nature to tame due to its sporadic and uncontrollable nature.

Feel free to

(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.

Alright, now we will begin with the basic techniques of Lightning Release. Come over here and stand right next to me, cup both of your hands together, but leave a substantial space in between them, as if you're gripping a small spherical object like a ball. Focus your raiton chakra to this location, envision high frequency chakra being generated in between your palms and attempt to tame this wild force of nature, making sure it doesn't get the better of you. Once you stabilize the small amount of lightning chakra, connect your wrists before pushing your hands forwards and outwards to emit the chakra as a small bolt of lightning towards that central dummy five meters away from you, attempting to strike the bull's eye located on its chest.

Key Points: Pay close attention to every jutsu's range. This jutsu is short-ranged and won't travel very far. As a reference point, here's what the actual measurements are.

Short Range - 0 to 5 meters away from you
Mid Range - 5 to 15 meters away from you
Long Range - 15+ meters away from you

(Raiton: Raikou Oonami) - Lightning Release: Lightning Surge
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will concentrate their chakra and slam their hand on the ground to release a surge of lightning across the ground to the opponents feet to shock them.

After doing that, however many times it takes to be successful, I want you to concentrate your raiton chakra to your dominant palm and slam your hand upon on the ground. As your palm strikes the ground, release the built chakra as a surge of lightning which travels across the ground and direct it towards that group of interconnected dummies doused in water. If you do this correctly, the lightning should conduct into the first dummy and spread along all of the dummies, shocking them collectively.

Key Points: This requires you to slam your hand on the ground, and so can't be used in mid-air or without a solid surface to stand upon.

I do as instructed and walk towards you and stands next to you. I cup my hands together, leaving enough space as if I was holding a tennis ball. I start focusing my raiton chakra into the location of my palm. I envision my chakra at a high frequency as I hear a crackle of lighting I look down and then shook myself. "Ouch.....uh time to try again."

I cup my hand as if I was holding a tennis ball again and and focuse my raiton chakra into the palm of my hand, I hear the crackling again, this time I tighten my focus on the chakra and the dummy, I look down again and see a ball of lighting forming within in my palms I connect my wrist together and then push my wrist out and aim for the bulls eyes onto the dummy.


" Well that one was tough. Ok next one."

I focus my raiton chakra into my right palm. I then slam my hand onto the ground. Releasing a surge of lightining. " Awesoem I did it! And I didn't do it. This time I aim for the dummies."
I focus my raiton chakra into my right palm once again. I look towards the dummies and slam my palm down into there general direction creating a surge of lighting that I then direct towards the first dummy to shock, which will then shock them all

Good work, onto the next techniques.

(Ration: Ikazuchi Kashou) - Lightning Release: Thunder Burn
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user fires a wave of lightning bolts at the opponent.

Now, I'd like you to focus your raiton chakra in the same manner as before, only this time envisioning the element in its wave-like form. You will not be releasing bolts of lightning, but rather a wave with the same potency as the first technique you learned. The difference between the two techniques other than their form is, that water conducts waves more efficiently than it conducts projectiles.

Key Points: In our RP, there's something known as "focused" and "unfocused" lightning. Focused lightning is extremely condensed lighting which has some-degree of form and structure due to shape manipulation e.g. my Lightning mask's False Darkness, Sasuke's Chidori, his Chidori spear and so on. Unfocused lightning is the polar opposite, it usually lacks any sort of structures and comes in the form of waves or surges. The Lightning surge jutsu you just learnt and ran across the floor was a good example of unfocused lightning. It was wild and didn't have a defined shape.

Some claim, you can actually use focused lightning attacks under water, but I'm skeptical of this idea and have never tried it out.

(Raiton: Sandaa Saaburu) - Lightning Style: Thunder Saber
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range:Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: Hits opponent with an electric field shield that explodes and can blow back the enemy.

For this 2nd technique, I want you to generate an electric field shield around your body before releasing it towards those dummies over there. Target the largest group, since on contact with anything this jutsu will explode into a small maelstrom of lightning with enough force to knock them back a considerable distance.

Key Points: This is a close counterpart to the next technique you learn. The vagueness of the technique isn't useful, however I assume this one is the projectile-type electric field and the one you will learn next is the one which encases your body similar to an armour.

(Raiton: Raijingu Sanda) - Lightning Style: Raging Thunder
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: The user hits the opponent with an electric field shield that covers the users body.

For this 3rd technique, I want you to focus your chakra once again and envision the electric field shield you just fired. Generate the same type of shield around your body, using it to cover you, much like you would wear a suit of armour. Don't waste any time, it could prove to be fatal.

*Fires D-Rank Bolt of Lightning towards you*

Key Points: Nothing really. A nice concept, but at D-Rank its not that useful in battle. A B-Rank plasma version exists, if you like the concept of this jutsu, you'll love the plasma shield.

I start concentrating on my raiton chakra once again. I envision a wave lightning in head as I place my palms onto the ground creating small waves of lightning.

" That one was easy."

As I continue to concentrate on my raiton chakra I close my eyes and focus greatly on creating a shield of lighting as I hear a loud crackle I lose focus and get shocked in the hip. I then fall to the ground in pain " ow that hurts. Damn lightning ain't nothing you mess around with. Alright I just can't lose my focus. I stand up and once again concentrate on my raiton chakra but this time with I tighten focus. I keep my eyes open as I scan the field for the largest group of dummies after finding it I notice I generated a electric field. I then release it at the largest group of dummies knocking them back.


" Oh well I just did that oh no!"

I focus on my raiton chakra quickly watching your bolt of lightinig travel towards me quickly I hear a loud crackle of lighting as my focus tightens creating a small shield of lightning around my body.

Good work, moving on..

( Raiton: Raigeki) - Lightning Release: Electric Attack
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: After performing the required hand seals Tiger → Snake → Dog the user creates an electric current from their hand that can hit multiple individuals at the same time. Furthermore, it extends into incredible distances and can avoid obstacles.

For this next technique, I want you to perform the following sequence of hand seals before creating an electric current from your hand that can span to an incredible distance, despite its rank. The technique is capable of striking multiple opponents due to its unfocused nature, making it useful against clones.

Key Points: None really.

( Raiton: Denki Railanshō ) - Lightning Release: Electric Discharge Palm
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid (Short range for the discharge)
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will manipulate their lightning chakra in their dominant hand generating electrical bolts of lightning around their forearm and they then jump into the air. The user will then land slamming their palm onto the ground causing the electrical energy to become discharged sending out bolts of lightning into the ground and around them up to 5 meters.

Ah, I'm not too faimilar with this particular technique. To perform it channel your raiton chakra to your hand before manipulating it to generate electrical bolts around your forearm. Once you successfully do this, jump into the air before slamming your palm onto the ground, causing the built chakra to discharge itself. The resulting effect will be lightning bolts being sent into the ground and five meters in every direction.

Key Points: Believe it or not, but the jumping portion of the technique is useful against evading small-scale attacks. You could simply hop over them before slamming your hands onto the ground and continuing on to attack your opponent with a single maneuver.

I preform the Tiger ---> Snake ---> Dog I Focus my Raiton chakra into my right hand creating a current of lightning. I put my right hand in the air and the current of lightning wildly strikes in numerous directions, I lose focus and pull my hand down before it strikes and hurts you.

" Sorry about that."

I start to manipulate my lightning chakra into my dominate hand(right). Bolts of electricity began to form around my forearm I wait a bit longer until a crackle of lightning. As soon as I hear that I jump as high as I can in the air I then slam my hand into the ground as I come down forcing lightning bolts to spread 5 meters in every direction.

( Raiton: Inazuma ken Fudou ) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blades Levitation
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will channel their lightning chakra into their sword to increase its cutting capabilities, and then levitate it in front of them. They will then multiply the sword creating two extra physical copies which are then all manipulated to spin rapidly and are controlled to fly towards and cut through the opponent/s.

I particularly like this technique, now that I've re-evaluated it. Focus your lightning chakra into this sword to increase its cutting capabilities before utilizing your chakra to levitate it in front of your position. Next employ a mechanism similar to the one used to create clones, doing this to generate two extra physical copies of the sword. Now, cause them to spin rapidly before pushing your dominant palm forward (dramatic effect) to send the three lightning infused weapons towards those dummies over there. Attempt to behead those three dummies standing in a line.

Key Points: Since the two copies created are physical and real, I don't think they'll disperse afterwards. Nice way to duplicate the amount of weapons you have. When combined with the Shadow Shuriken Clone technique, this will make 1000 lightning infused swords.

(Raiton: Raigeki no Yoroi) - Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Armour
Rank: C
Type: Offense/Defence
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user surrounds themselves with electricity. The intense electric field protects them by electrocuting anyone who comes into contact with it, but only works for one attack.

Now I want you to release your raiton chakra into every chakra point in your body, whilst envisioning an armour of electricity enveloping your body. Attempt to replicate this in reality, coating yourself in a armour of raiton capable of withstanding attacks. While you attempt to do this, I'm going to cause C-Rank spikes of earth to emerge around you, which will impale you should you this task. The damage won't be fatal...well, for your sake I hope it won't.

Key Points: This is a good defense against B-Rank and below techniques which attempt to connect with your body. However, only use this against small scale b-ranks such as spikes and projectiles used against you. Be realistic in this technique's usage.

Sorry I havent replied in a while works is crazy around the holidays



I first take the sword you give me and then focus my lightning chakra into it, making the blade sharper. I then increase
chakra more and levitate it in front of me. I then focus on my inner chakra to replicate the clone Justu, I use that chakra to generate to copies of the sword. Next I focus on my lightning chakra once again I heighten the intinsity and make the swords spin rapidly before thrusting my right palm forward beheading the three dummies.


I realese all my raiton chakra into ll my chakra point into my body creating a small lightning surge around my body. I invision a body of armor just as you instructed. Doing this creates a strong armor of pure lightning around my body.
