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.
Standing alone in the training field looking around me,I looked at the cloudy sky,it flashed then I stepped back from getting hit by the lightning strike,then I see my sensei coming from the distance. o-o
Lightning is one of the most fierce elements,and one of the fastest and hard to control,the speed of the lightning and electricity molecules increases the sharpness of the element,when added to bladed weapons,and having a paralyzing effect too.
Kakuzu nods his head in acknowledgment to what his student is saying, but sighs as her explanation of Raiton ends so abruptly.
Whilst you covered the basics, 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.
(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 walk slowly then stands beside Kakuzu,looking at the dummy which is 5 meters away from me,I set my eyes on the bull's eye.I cup my hands together,not forgetting to leave space between them.....
I close my eyes,and try to do my best at gathering the chakra between my hands,I try to keep the chakra in its position....
I connect my wrists then shoots with force........
*I wish that was the required strength for the shoot. >_<
-I gather the chakra again in my hands,then with one hand I slap the ground with all I've got,I hit the first dummy,the lightning runs through the water,I stand watching the attack........
-I raise my back again and stand in my position again[5 metres away from the dummy u_u],I cup both of my hands together like I did earlier...leaving a space between them exactly like holding a small ball in my hands...
then comes the difficult part..I try to gather my raiton chakra in that space..I try to gather it the hardest I could try >_> but the chakra is too fast...it is like slipping between my hands and I try to re-gather it again! O__O
I feel like I finally got a good amount of that chakra..I put my wrists together...moving my hands forwards and outwards to send a small raiton strike..targeting the bull's eye and it's completely destroyed now..
-I change my place..moving to a place where I can aim at the dummies in the water...I try to concentrate my chakra again in my palm...but the raiton is fast as usual >_>
-after feeling enough chakra gathered...... I slam my hands on the ground releasing a surge of lightning which has a high roar...it travels along the ground ...reaches the first dummy which is destroyed now...in no time the raiton reaches the other dummies...destroying them one after the other before any eye can notice...oh god that was fast O__O
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.

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.
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.
As it wasn't mentioned where to aim my first jutsu,I will be aiming it at you,sensei. U__U
This is a D-rank jutsu,it should not be a problem for you.
>_>
<_<
-I started to remember how I gathered my chakra at my first jutsu..I cup my hands again,leaving some space between them..I collect the chakra from every part of my body,directing it to my hands and try hard to maintain it there..the chakra begins to transform into the raiton shape,I see the high frequency chakra I used to see before..
"This jutsu needs another form.."
-the element begins to change into a wave-like form which consists of lightning bolts..I fire the wave then at Kakuzu-sensei..

"So,this tech is the projectile type but it needs to be charged and prepared around the body.."
-I prepare my chakra for the technique..but instead of gathering and directing it into one place like I usually do with every tech,I let it flow then distribute it evenly to different parts of my body..I release the raiton chakra in the form of a shield around my body..then I run towards the largest group of dummies inside the water and release the attack at the dummies..

( 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.
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 like the range of that jutsu,it's so powerful and it can hit multiple opponents,but it has 3 hand seals which is much.
-I aim at the multiple dolls which are in the jutsu range [which is short:long] then I gather my chakra and direct it into my hands,where the chakra transforms into raiton to charge the attack..then I perform the hand seals by order Tiger → Snake → Dog to release continuous stream of raiton which turns into electric current which has a loud roar sound and a little hard to control..
then I run through the multiple dolls where the electric current strikes their middle to destroy a doll after the other..

-I like that jutsu too,it would be perfect within a taijutsu combo because of the jumping portion.
-I again gather my chakra into my hand then turn the chakra into raiton which takes the shape of lightning bolts around my forearm this time..
then I jump to the air and land again to slam my hand on the ground to send the attack to the dolls on the ground..the chakra discharges itself making an explosion to destroy the dolls which are 5 meters away of the jutsu center..
Sorry about the late reply. Also, I'd like you to format your posts better. Use Spoilers on jutsus and arrange the text better so I can read it easier.Much better, now onto the next two techniques.

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.
Also, this is considered a full body surge and so it can dispel D-Rank and below Genjutsu.

-I gather my chakra into my hands and charge my chakra in them,then the chakra turns into raiton and I direct it into the sword in my hand to charge the sword with raiton.
*The sword makes sizzling sound*
I lift the sword in front of me,then I create two extra copies of the sword which are launched towards the three clones to destroy the three of them in a row.
