Out of Character: When you get a chance, please delete your double post. Thank you! =}Now, it is finally time to start on the basics of lightning nature manipulation.
As I saw this, I reach out and place my right palm out in front of me. Suddenly, lightning begins to crackle around it in a very unfocused manner. It seemed as though it was sparking everywhere around my hand's vicinity.
As you can see, lightning chakra is very wild in nature. This is what I would call unfocused lightning energy. By utilizing nature transformation, I highly vibrate my chakra and it's frequency in order to create lightning. I then utilize shape manipulation in order to perform the desired effects.
I then proceed to swipe my hand from left to right as I turn towards my left hand side. As I do so, I shape manipulate the lightning chakra around my hand even further, aiming to condense into several lightning needles as they leave my hand in a wave of projectiles. The lightning needles travel forward at great speed as they pierce into the tree.
Now that, was what I would call a more condensed form of lightning nature. I utilized advanced shape manipulation to highly concentrate the lightning energy around my palm into a projectile technique.
Shortly afterwards, I perform a chain of hand seals followed by slamming both hands on the ground, effectively sending my lightning chakra into the ground. I then proceed to channel it beneath the previous tree's location. Using shape manipulation I release it in an outwards manner, creating a large pillar of lightning energy that completely obliterates the tree to wooden shreds.
That's what I would call a field-type lightning technique. I utilize my chakra in order to send it underground and then nature transform it into lightning nature to then shape manipulate it into a pillar of lightning energy that is released from beneath.
Continuing my explanation of lightning release in a very fluid manner, I then proceed to stand back up after having slammed my hands on the ground. Instead, I rise my right hand into the sky as I channel lightning chakra throughout my palm, thereafter sending a pulse of lightning chakra into the sky. Using shape manipulation, I manipulate to form of the lightning chakra in the sky and cause a small bolt of lightning to come raining down towards a medium sized boulder several meters to my right side. The bolt of lightning pierces the center of the boulder, effectively causing it to burst into countless pieces of earthen debris, leaving a trail of dust in it's instead.
Another form of field-type lightning, however more oriented in the sky. The last one was focused more on the ground. Before I move onto the last variable use, I will show you the enhancement effect lightning has on weaponry.
As I said so, I proceeded unsheathe my sword from it's scabbard which was placed on the left hand side of my hip. I utilized my right hand in order to grab my sword as I channeled lightning chakra through the blade, thereafter adding advanced shape manipulation in order to change the vibrating frequencies of the lightning chakra, allowing me to effectively increase the cutting potential of the blade, creating a small and thin coating of vibrating lightning around the blade. I then proceed to burst onto a full on sprint, heading directly towards the tree towards my left hand side. As I run, I maintain the tip of my blade pointed towards the ground behind me, leaving it on my right hand side as I grasp the sword with a single hand. Nearing the tree's close range, I proceed to swing my blade from right to left, performing a horizontal slash aiming to slice the tree in half. Due to the enhancement of lightning throughout my blade, this would be but an easy feat, allowing me to cut the tree in half like a stick of butter with a hot knife.
As you can see, I was able to effortlessly slice through a large tree with the aid of lightning's cutting edge. This technique can be applied in nearly every weapon available to us, even projectiles. Now, it is time to utilize a technique are requires the usage of several tenkesu in our body.
Then, I turned around whilst releasing lightning chakra from the most of my tenkesu around my body. Utilizing shape manipulation I released an unfocused amount of lightning energy. While doing so I manipulated the frequency of the lightning, allowing me to release a blinding light from around my body, successfuly blinding my student.
Sorry about that, I should have warned you. However, I wanted you to experience it first hand. Now, as you can see, well you really can't, can you? Ahah ANYWAYS, lightning does not necessarily always have to be used offensively. It can also be used defensively and supplementary. These are the basics of lightning energy and several of it's usages. From then on, it is up to the each user to build their own style and usage. Now for the fun part..
As I say so, I burst into a full on sprint once more whilst sheathing back my blade into it's scabbard. Within moments, I appear directly in front of you with a plain piece of paper. As your blurry vision clears, you would open your eyes to see a small square piece of paper out in front of you, having my left open palm directly in front of you.
You see this piece of paper? This paper is made out of a very special tree that has been fed with chakra throughout the years. It is a very special paper that allows one to find their elemental affinity, or the elemental nature they want to utilize. I want you to channel your chakra into the piece of paper and incorporate everything I've just taught you. If everything is successful, the piece of paper should wrinkle. (I want you to describe in the most detail that you can, how you change your chakra nature into lightning in order to change the status of the paper.)
