As nervously arrives to the training grounds, she sits down, with her hands tucking her knees in and awaits for her sempai's arrival.

appears after some time, seeing a young girl waiting. He approaches her.

"You're Shinobu, right? Hi! I'm Souji Seta of Konoha, and I'll be teaching you Lightning today."

He sits across from Shinobu, on the grass of the training grounds.

"So, before we begin throwing a bunch of jutsus around, let's get some basics out of the way first. A solid foundation is always required, and I realize this is your very first training session, from your application."

"I want you to first tell me about the concepts of chakra, shinobi, and ninjutsu. It's up to you how long or short you want your answers to be; I'll fill in what you may miss. Try relating all three ideas together."


He seemed encouraging and friendly.

As Souji finishes talking, Shinobu takes a deep breath. She looks up from glaring at the plain grass of the training grounds and as she sets eyes at Souji, she thinks to herself; What a friendly sempai... I'll show him what I can do..

"Shinobi (Kunoichi for females) are people whom carries out missions, trains and uses their full will to accomplish their goals/dreams. If war is taken in place, ninja will work co-operatively to defend their villages and land. Ninja can manipulate chakra to form and use a desired technique. I'm not too sure, but as a kunoichi (ninja), I believe that Ninja are expected to be respectably loyal to their village."

"Chakra is essential for the usage of all jutsu. In every cell in a being's body, chakra is moulded by the combination of both the spiritual (which correlates with the usage of the energy in a being's mind and spirit.) and physical (which correlates with the energy used by the body itself) energies in a being. The circulatory system inside a being's body is where Chakra flows. In the circulatory system, there are eight inner gates, which act as both storage and chakra regulation. Tenketsu are small openings scattered all around the circulatory system, which allow a being to release chakra from their body. There are 361 tenketsu in total."

Once Shinobu finishes her explanation, she thinks to herself;
I hope that went well.
Her heart begins to race as she proceeds.

"The ability to focus and mould your chakra is called ninjutsu. By focusing your chakra, I mean being able to use the will within you to produce chakra for an action you will take; and by moulding your chakra, I mean providing your chakra with attributes for a final effect to be taken in place. Sometimes ninja use handseals (simply hand gestures) to more easily concentrate and focus their chakra to produce their desired effect."

"I hope everything's correct..." Shinobu's heart pounds even faster as she awaits for her sempai's opinions.

(That was a fantastic answer! Good work.)

Shinobu seemed nervous. Souji wasn't surprised. He remembered his own very first training session, where his sensei had asked him very similar questions... he almost peed his pants, humorously. It was pretty interesting, to see a student learning under him. She seemed very knowledgeable already, which was always a good thing.

"Excellent answer. I'll add a few of my insights."

"Shinobi are tools for their villages, yes. But that doesn't mean we can't think for ourselves. You're right, each one of us has a 'nindo', a ninja way."

"Chakra can be manipulated in two ways. Shape and Nature. You already mentioned you can change chakra around, but to be a little more specific, Nature manipulation turns chakra into an element... we'll be doing this to create lightning. Once you have an element, you need shape manipulation to give it form. For example, if I have a bunch of fire chakra in my mouth, if I just spit it out, it just looks like simple flames. But, by apply shape manipulation, I can turn that fire into a fireball which I can then shoot. Using both creates the jutsu you want. It requires physical effort and a little imagination."

"Handseals, you should have learned that in the Academy. Here's a handy pamphlet just in case you need it, but I'm sure you're already proficient enough in them."

For the next part of training, Souji pulls out a small, square piece of paper and hands it to Shinobu. It has a distinct texture.

"Alright. That's chakra paper. It responds to one's nature chakra. For this exercise, we'll be testing to see if you do indeed have an affinity for Raiton, and are able to create lightning from your chakra."

"Take it in your hands, and focus your chakra, concentrating it and channeling it through that piece of paper. While you're doing that, visualize lightning in your mind. What is it to you? What kinds of properties does it have? Don't be afraid to really delve deep into it; lightning is fast and energetic, with a capacity for large levels of destruction, and only the most determined can truly master it. Abstractly, it can also represent one whose personality is... shocking!"

"Ok, that was a bad joke, but you get what I mean."

"If you're successful, your Raiton chakra will cause the paper to wrinkle up. It may take a while, and once you're done, share your thoughts on what you experienced and visualized."


Taking a seat on the cool grass, crossing his legs, he waited for Shinobu to continue.

(Thanks for the compliment! I hope I did this one right)

Shinobu's eyes, for the first time, widened. Fascinated with the compliment that Souji-senpai had given her. She mumbles, with a very quiet whisper... "Thanks," She throws her eyes down at the cool grass and blushes.

As Shinobu takes the pamphlet, she removes her cap, and throws the pamphlet inside of it; laying the cap on the left side of her body.

She replies to all the additions Souji made to her previous explanations. "Understood... Also, thanks for the hand gestures pamphlet, although I'm familiar with these hands signs,"



Shinobu takes ahold of the given paper. She understands all the instructions given by her senpai. Shinobu closes her eyes, and focuses her chakra flow whilst she visualises the physical properties of lightening. Shinobu visualises lightening through her mind thoroughly with a cool look on her face; as she visualises she speaks out.

"Lightening... How can I put this in proper words? Hm... Well, lightening is very fast, it has metallic grey, blue to a yellowish color. It's also very bright, and the heat is said to be 5 to 6 times hotter than the sun. Ah.. thinking of storms, naturally, it's an unpredictable element; in terms of the location, and time of where it'll hit. Since lightening's effect on other objects is overly destructive, to wield this element I need to be extremely careful and responsible of the location, and time of my target."

Finishing her statement, she begins to wonder more.
Thinking about it, it sure is a very hard element to master, like senpai mentioned. I've gotta be as determined as I can!
"Although this element is very destructive and energetic, wind is stronger as lightening is it's natural insulator. Lightening is strong against Earth."

Whilst focusing and visualising, after a short while, a sweat drop formed from the side of her head; pressuring herself, the cool look disappeared as Shinobu crossed her eyebrows. A charge arose within her circulatory system. Shinobu quickly opens her eyes and looks at her hand. The charge felt fast and flowingly energetic. This must be it, as senpai said! To reduce the time waiting for larger charge, Shinobu immediately focused on flowing the charge over to her left hand where the special paper is held.

The paper fully wrinkled, inside out. The whole paper instantaneously wrinkled. Shinobu sighed, but smiled...
All this effort...
She looked up at senpai. "How did I do?"

There was a short silence, and Souji closed his eyes, smirking and nodding in approval.

"Perfect. That was among the best responses to the chakra paper exercise I've seen in a while."

"Lightning does have the capacity for great destruction, and yes, you can tell it's harder to control than other elements. This is one of its greatest strengths... if an enemy were to get hit by a lightning technique, it would be very hard for them to recover from such an assault."

"However, this can also be one of its weaknesses. Raiton is chaotic and powerful, and because it's hard to control, it can only take so many forms. A lightning master can predict and counter Raiton easily, since most jutsus have very similar functions and properties."

"You're more than capable, Shinobu, so let's proceed straight with the techniques. We'll learn more through experience, I think."


Souji pulls out two clay discs from his pockets, one in each hand.

"Each jutsu has a rank, which indicates its strength and damage, as well as how much chakra it takes to perform it. The very basic ones, the D-ranks, aren't too intensive."

"There are also ranges, from short, to mid, to long. Short range is anywhere from 0-5 meters in front of you. Mid is 6-10 meters, and Long is anything above 10. Jutsus that have short-mid ranges, for example, can reach your target from 0-10 meters. Pretty simple."

"So, for this first jutsu, I want you to focus your Raiton chakra in your hands. Then, use shape manipulation to condense the chakra to form small lightning bolts that you can then shoot at your targets."

"I'm going to throw each of these discs like frisbees, try and and hit them with the lightning bolts!"

"Ready?"


Souji threw the first one at Shinobu, then the second one a little afterward.

Shinobu nodded showing her senpai that she understood all his statements, looking away from senpai's face she blushed. Happily she questions herself; I'm that good? Awhh! She is happy that Souji-senpai is encouraging her.

Getting ready, Shinobu jumps up from sitting, and as soon as she lands from the air, she slides back. Sliding back, her sandals created an effect of dust flow that disappeared after a while. Her eyes intensely focused on the discs flying over to her, she like last time, instantly focuses the produced Raiton chakra into not only one of her palm but both. Once the Raiton charge reached the palms in a matter of seconds, Shinobu visualises the chakra's shape. "Lightening bolts!" she intensely mumbles.

Shinobu curiously wonders; I'll be able to do the jutsu now...? Lifting her palms, she was ready to shoot. As she kept her left palm up, static electro charges kept flowing around her arms. As she visualised the shape, she then quickly condensed her chakra into the shape she was instructed to do. The flow... Too energetic! I gotta find away to get rid of it properly before I exhaust myself.

As the clay discs entered deeply within her radius; Shinobu locks in her aim and quickly performs the jutsu, successfully shooting two bolts of Raiton chakra.

Perfectly aiming at the discs, she hits them both. Shinobu felt a little relaxed, but it wasn't shown on her face. Physically, she looked more cross. Although the bolts were formed correctly, Shinobu was confused by the size of the bolts that are formed. Both the bolts Shinobu formed were both different in terms of their size.

She asks Souji; "Do bolts need to come in the same shape? Is it natural for bolts to come out in different shapes?"

Shinobu stepped forward one step, and held her hands together, waiting for her senpai's reply.

Well, this was interesting. Souji hadn't seen this before. Shinobu's lightning bolts were different.

"Hm. I guess it really doesn't matter what shape the lightning bolts take, as long as they have the same properties. Theoretically, it's possible to have lightning bolts shaped like cubes, triangles, even donuts... it's really just cosmetic, based on how you apply shape manipulation. It's still just a lightning bolt, though." he shrugged, chuckling a little.

"Great accuracy, though!"

"Alright, time for the next jutsu. For this one, you'll concentrate your chakra in either one of your hands, and once you've gathered up enough, You'll slam your hand on the ground and release the Raiton from your hands into the ground, channeling it through. This creates a lightning surge that races across the ground towards your opponent's feet and shocks them."

"For this exercise, try shocking me. Don't worry, I won't die. At least, I hope not..."


He chuckled nervously as if joking, ready to anticipate her attack.

"DONUUUUTTSS!?!?" Shinobu yelled with a tone of excitement after a nod. Shinobu's face became red... with her exciting tone, she continues "You should've said so before senpai..!" But she thinks to herself; ...or at-least I should've thought of it. Shinobu nervously chuckles whilst giving her hair a little scratch.



With a little bit of furry, Shinobu began to follow all Souji's instructions. Becoming used to the first step in producing chakra, Shinobu quickly focuses her energetic Raiton chakra into her left hand; becoming aware of it's entrance towards her palms, Shinobu drops herself in a crouching position instantly, and slams her hand onto the floor full of shady grass. Concentrating her Raiton chakra, she begins to channel her chakra to the earth and in a matter of seconds, Shinobu noticed that she was able to produce the jutsu.

The successful surge of lightening accurately approaches Souji-senpai...
"It's gotta hit him..." She says calmly, without a doubt.

Note to self. Student likes donuts. Souji thought to himself, amused by her reaction.

Feeling a tingling sensation at his feet from the release of the surge, Souji is then melodramatically shocked, anime-style, with a current running from the down up through his entire body >_>"

After that, he emerges from the attack, seemingly unharmed, although the smell of slightly burnt things hung in the air. And was his head smoking on the top a little? Lol

He sniffed with his nose, perking up.

"Do you smell chicken, Shinobu? Or is that just me?"

Eh, he just shrugged it off.

"Not bad, that definitely woke me up. Something to note about that jutsu is that it only reaches short range, so don't try it on an opponent who's more than 5 meters away from you, because it won't reach them."

Souji took a few minutes to rest and set up a few bulls-eyes targets, about five, right beside each other in a line.

"Now, for the last D-ranked jutsu. This one is pretty similar to the first jutsu... you'll collect Raiton chakra to form lightning bolts in your hand. But instead of releasing them one at a time, you'll sweep your palm across in the direction of your choice, releasing Raiton chakra as you do so. This creates a 'wave' of lightning bolts that can hit multiple targets, or concentrated on a single one."

"I've set up a few targets here. Sweep your hand from left to right and hit all of them with bolts, in one move."


He twitched a little, still feeling the aftershock of that previous technique o-o

After a short smile, Shinobu chuckles as she replies to senpai's question. "for a sent to enter my nose, it's gotta have a donuty smell..."



"Alright," Shinobu's full time gloomy eyes represent her patience and coolness. Physical expressions rarely changing, she continues onto the next jutsu instructed by her senpai. Shinobu calmly lifts her left hand, beginning to quickly focus her produced Raiton chakra. Already becoming used to focusing Raiton chakra, in matter of seconds the energetic Raiton chakra enters her palm. Quickly realising this, in a dashing manner Shinobu sweeps he palm from left to right. Visualising the shape manipulation instructed by senpai, the bolts were ready to be released.

The jutsu was unleashed this wave of bolts in it's required range. Accurately approached, the targets set up by Souji were beaten left in an indescribable shape. Releasing the jutsu, Shinobu felt drained. Glaring at her palms she notices a blister or two. Am I really trying this hard? she suddenly thinks to herself as she continued her glare. Shinobu realises after a while that she'd forgotten she left a donut below the goggle attached to her aviators cap placed on the shady grass. Nervously denying these unnecessary memories, she alternatively awaits her senpai's opinions and further instructions.

Souji could see Shinobu was thinking about something. Was it important? He didn't really know.

"Alright, before we continue, I want to give a short lesson on elemental interactions. You already know that Raiton is strong against Earth, and weak against wind. In a fight, if you're being attacked with C-rank Raiton, you can use the element that's strong against it; wind, to counter. In order to cancel it out, meaning that the jutsus clash and stop each other, it would only need to be up to one rank lower. So D-rank wind techniques would stop it. Anything higher would continue onward towards your opponent."

"Now, if you were using C-rank Raiton against your opponent, you could destroy up to one rank higher of its weakness, Earth. So that would mean that if your opponent used a B-ranked Earth jutsu, a C-ranked Lightning would be enough to cancel it out."

"If elements are neutral against each other, say, wind and water, you would typically need to have the same rank in order to stop them. So, B-rank wind stops B-rank water and vice versa."

"However, if you use an element that's weak against your opponent's attack, it would need to be 2 ranks higher. So, back to the C-rank Raiton example. If you use C-rank Raiton against me, I would use A-rank Earth to stop it at the very least."

"I'll give you a short quiz here, don't worry, nothing too difficult, I just want to test your understanding."


Souji hands Shinobu a piece of paper with some questions on it.

1. I use a C-rank Earth jutsu against you. If you use its weakness to counter, what minimum rank would it have to be to cancel out the Earth? What happens if you use a stronger rank than that?

2. I use an A-rank wind jutsu against you. If you use a NEUTRAL element, what rank would it need to be to stop the technique? What elements are neutral against wind?

3. I use a B-rank Water jutsu against you. If you countered with FIRE, what would the rank need to be in order to stop it? What happens when Fire and Water interact with each other?

4. I use a B-rank fire against you. What rank does a water jutsu need to be to not only cancel out the jutsu, but continue towards me as an attack afterward?

Understanding the instructions and statements given by senpai, Shinobu noticeably nods and grabs senpai's offering. Once she takes the paper from senpai's hand, Shinobu begins to let herself relax; she drops her self onto the shady grass, sitting with her legs crossed. Reading it all, she begins to answer out loud;

"Well, as you said earlier, to use the weaker element against it's stronger... It's gotta be 2 ranks higher, right? So in that case A-Rank Water against C-Rank Earth would at-least stop the attack."

Shinobu looks back at her cap, thinking of the donut; making senpai notice her focus was heading elsewhere. Shinobu begins to think to herself as she begins to drool`anime-style. I mustn't let this get to me, I need to complete this first!

Looking back at the paper, Shinobu continues on to the second question and so-forth; "The element neutral against wind is water. In this case, A-Rank Water would stop A-Ranked Wind. As for the third question, S-Rank Fire would at-least stop B-Rank Water. Naturally water would put fire out, but I'm not entirely sure of what the effect would like when water and fire interact with each other jutsu-wise."

Shinobu quickly looks up at senpai just to get a glimpse of his facial expression to get a clue of what he's opinions are, then quickly looks back down at her paper to continue onto the last question. "For the last question, S-Rank Fire, if I'm correct would stop B-Ranked Water and continue forward as it isn't only just one rank above, but two."

As soon as Shinobu finishes her answers; still carrying the paper, she approaches her cap crawringly. Cap approached, she begins to dig for the donut that'd been on her mind for a while. Sadly, she wasn't able to find it. Putting her cap back on her head, she drops her back onto the floor, stretching her legs out uncrossed. Her stomach grumbles, in hopes for a treat by senpai.

Staring at the sky as she's laid back, she awaits for senpai's opinions and further statements.

(I really like the way you put in effort to your replies and do character development. You're a great student, and I enjoy training you :) )

Souji listened to each of Shinobu's answers, nodding as she gave right answer after right answer. She grasped concepts and ideas very quickly, proving her adaptability and intelligence. He wondered for a moment... the shinobi of this generation were talented, smart, and full of potential. With the proper guidance and treatment, they could exceed older shinobi like Souji. It was an exciting thought.

"When water and fire interact, there's a chance that you can create steam. In a fight, this can block a shinobi's line of sight, even yours. We can go over advanced battle tactics when you learn more techniques. Be thinking about what jutsus do, and how you can use them in a fight."

"Other than that, your answers were astounding."


He also observed how she played with her cap, and sitting. For a moment, he could swear her stomach grumbled. She almost looked expectant, too.

"Alright, I suppose we can take a short break. Unfortunately, I don't have any donuts, but grab some water to refresh yourself. This isn't Academy life, we're shinobi!"

His last statement almost seemed a little too direct, but then he looked a little sheepish... "... maybe afterward you can get some donuts. Konoha has some nice bakeries."

Souji rested against a tree trunk and took a break as well. It was a really hot day :sweat:




After the break, Souji created two Shadow Clones of himself by forming the required hand sign.

"From now on, we'll be performing two jutsus per round. It will be a little more demanding, but I'm sure you can handle it. Feel free to rest in between techniques if you need to, and don't be afraid to stop me if you have questions or inquiries. Otherwise, let's begin with the C-rank jutsus!"

Souji's first clone runs behind a tree and hides, seen by both shinobi.

"Wow... such a good hiding place. Anyway, for this first technique, I want you to weave the Tiger, Snake, and Dog handseals, molding Raiton chakra as you do it. You'll form lightning currents at your hands which will surge towards your intended target."

"This technique can reach up to long ranges, making it distinct. But the real cool part is that while you're controlling the path of the current with your chakra, you can use shape manipulation to maneuver the current around obstacles and hit your targets. For this exercise, I want you to hit my clone behind that tree, but curve the current so that the tree is unharmed, and you only hit him."


( Raiton: Raigeki) - Lightning Release: Electric Attack

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.

The Second Clone walks over to a nearby lake and stands on it, pooling chakra at his feet in order to stay on the surface.

"The second technique in this set has you molding Raiton in both of your hands, creating a wave of electricity you can fire off up to short range. It's almost similar to the last D-rank we did, except it's a continuous wave rather than lightning bolts. Depending on how much chakra you input, you can make something as small as a shock or even a large attack that can destroy rocks."

"If you combine this technique with a water jutsu, it increases the damage of the technique, creating a water-lightning combination that can zap enemies. That's an elemental interaction. Since you may not have any water jutsus, I want you to instead hit my clone while he's standing on this lake... the natural water source will increase the damage of the technique. Go ahead and try it."


The clone starts whistling.

(Raiton: Jibashi) - Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short (Short-Long depending on the water technique)
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30 (+10 to a water technique when used in conjunction)
Description: This jutsu allows the user to create a wave of electricity from the user's hands. This jutsu can vary in power from a small surge to shock an opponent to a powerful stream of lightning capable of ripping through solid rock. It is ideal to use in conjunction with a water jutsu.

"I also want your opinions on each jutsu that we do. It doesn't have to be excessively long, but just let me know things like strong or weak points, how you'd use it in a fight... easier jutsus won't require long-winded monologues. Just tell me what you think is important."

"Heck, if you think the jutsu has a cool name, you can even say that! And don't forget to ask questions if you have any."


Souji waited for Shinobu to continue.

(Thank you! I really enjoy being taught by you as-well, you're an encouraging person and very comfortable person to be taught by. :d)

Shinobu sat back up from laying on the shady grass. Facing senpai, she crossed her legs with arms tucking them in. Understood.

Shinobu's facial expression was enough to show senpai she'd understood his statements. Her golden glaring eyes watching Souji's lips she was, once again, complimented by senpai. Facing senpai, Shinobu blushingly smiled by the effect of the compliment. Hearing her hopes becoming near reality, Shinobu excitingly yelled "Oooooh! I can't wait...!" And by the result of this she'd forgotten about her hunger... ANIME-STYLE. Instead she began to focus more so the treat would become actual reality.



Break finished, Shinobu stands up and takes a couple or more steps forward. Following senpai's instructions about the first jutsu, Shinobu quickly performs the hand seals.

Tiger -> Snake -> Dog

As she processed doing the hand seals Shinobu was able to mould Raiton chakra into her left palm in a matter of seconds. I've gotten pretty used to this... Shinobu tells herself, in a cool looking and proud manner. Noticing she was able to perform the jutsu, electrical currents began to form at her left palm. Waving her left palm in a dash against the clone behind the distant tree, the current was released in a surge towards the clone.

"Right! Now the manipulation part,". Quickly visualizing the shape of the surge, Shinobu applied the visualization via jutsu, making the surge of lightening curve as it closely approached the tree. As the surge hit the clone, Shinobu wasn't aware... "Did I hit him?..." Sprinting towards the tree, she notices smokey gas, revealing that the clone was, in-fact, hit.

Successfully completing the first jutsu instructed, Shinobu moves onto the next one. Shinobu runs over to the required range against the second clone. Shinobu moulds Raiton chakra into both her palms this time. The amount of chakra moulded produced an effect of electrical aura around her palms. The aura was enough to make anyone notice the large amount of chakra used. Noticing this she instantaneously discharges the jutsu against the second clone on the lake ahead of her.

Description: This jutsu allows the user to create a wave of electricity from the user's hands. This jutsu can vary in power from a small surge to shock an opponent to a powerful stream of lightning capable of ripping through solid rock. It is ideal to use in conjunction with a water jutsu.

"Yosh, this one's hit him!"

The discharged lightening was larger than expected. Shinobu's eye's slowly widened in curiosity as she observed the jutsu approach senpai's clone. Next clone gone, Shinobu hurrily turned her head to senpai... Seeing his surprised face, Shinobu smiled in pride. Seeing that look on his face, he sure is going to consider that treat he promised me of! Shinobu begins to wonder, evilly smiling in a comedic manner.

Enough of the comedic scenes, Shinobu begins to reply in to what senpai had asked for. "I'm surprised myself! Lightening seemed hard to control at the beginning but it's becoming easier and easier every-time I do my stuffs. Coming back to what you asked for, I'd most likely perform the Electromagnetic Murder technique when my opponent looks worn, for a final touch. I'd use the Electric Attack jutsu in a strategic manner since it's a long range jutsu..."

Souji simply nodded. His student had performed the techniques perfectly; whether it was because of her own skill or her desire to have a donut, he wouldn't know... Lol

"Excellent! Since you've got no questions, let's move right along. And yes, the more you practice these jutsus, the easier it becomes. Pretty sure by the end, lightning formation and manipulation will be second nature to you!"

He pulls out a kunai and twirls it on his right pointer finger.

"You've already told me about how chakra is channeled through your chakra system and controlled by tenketsu, or the 360-something chakra points in your body. For this jutsu, I want you to channel Raiton chakra throughout your entire chakra system, mold it and allow it to build up at these points. Once you've created enough, release it through those points and into your surroundings as an unfocused electric current. Afterward, apply shape manipulation to compress this current to form an aura around you that surrounds you with lightning armor, similar to the Raikages', except a weaker version."

"This serves as an offensive and defensive technique. Offensively, it can shock enemies who touch it, and defensively, it can protect you from simple techniques and projectiles. However, after one usage, like, protecting from one attack or shocking an enemy, it disperses. I like using this jutsu when I'm trapped by B-rank Earth techniques because it's fast and can destroy those constructs."

"Got it? Good. Now, try and use this to defend against this! Heads up!"


Without much warning, Souji threw the kunai he was twirling at Shinobu, aimed at her left shoulder. Just a little something to keep her on her toes U_U

(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.

After this, he walks over to a nearby cliff (which magically appeared or something :| ).

"Alright. This second jutsu is pretty simple. Form the hand seals Snake and an upside down Tiger. Clap your hands together and cause Raiton chakra to race throughout the cliff here, upward. This breaks up the earth and causes the rocks to dislodge and fall downward as a lightning-infused avalanche. Be careful not to crush us both, of course."

"This jutsu isn't really used much, unless you're fighting near a cliff. Very location-based."


(Raiton: Iwa Nadare) - Lightning Style: Stone Avalanche
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Descripton: By forming hand seals Snake → Upside down Tiger → Hands clapped together when near a cliff , the user causes stone and rock to become dislodged and rain down on anyone below it by releasing a wave of electrical energy which weakens the rock and makes it fall as it crumbles. However, this is extremely location-based and needs to be done uphill of a mountain for it to work.

From the calm cool look on her face, Shinobu widens her eyes, focusing at the kunai approaching her and smiles in excitement and confidence. Sounds like a cool jutsu, let's see how this goes; she begins to think. Shinobu takes one step forward to show senpai that Shinobu indeed has already gained great talent in chakra formation and reaction in time.

Quickly, Shinobu begins to channel her formed Raiton chakra throughout her whole circulatory system. Successfully doing so in a quick instance of intense focus, furthermore Shinobu begins to mold the Raiton chakra into every tenketsu of her body, building up an equivalent amount of molded Raiton chakra in each of the tenketsu. Built with a sweat load of focus, Shinobu realises she is finally able to release the molded Raiton chakra into her surroundings. Shinobu's face began to look more relaxed as she calmly releases the chakra, unfocused, into her surroundings, and as she does so, Shinobu instantaneously manipulates the unfocused chakra's shape, compressing it's current forming an aura of lightening armour. Kunai approaching, the jutsu was made.

Doing all this in a quick manner, the kunai was countered with the defensive lightening armour.



Noticing a randomly appearing cliff, Shinobu psychologically reacts in a confused manner. Ehhh? Where did that come from... Shinobu begins to walk into the required range. Focusing her remaining amount of chakra into her palms, Shinobu performs the required hand seals.

Snake -> Upside down Tiger

Performing these gestures, she then quickly claps her palms together causing an odd amount of energetic Raiton chakra, allowing the current to be channeled through the cliff, resulting in dislodging an oddly sized rock into the air. Performing the jutsu, the rock was infused with lightening.

Taking a few steps back, the rock began to fall in full speed...

Souji grabs Shinobu and side dashes, dodging the rocks and carrying the both of them a distance away from the rock avalanche, which by now completely engulfed the area they were standing on just a moment ago.

He puts her down and wipes his brow.

"Any later and we'd have been crushed. Good work, that definitely surprised me!"

"In a real fight, you'd need to use a jutsu to dodge or counter another jutsu, since it's a battle situation. Since it's just training here, I was able to save us."


He grinned with a "Nice Guy" pose.

"So I want you to raise your hand in front of you and mold your Raiton chakra again. The gathering of energy will cause your arm to glow yellow, and once it's reached the limit, you'll be able to fire off horn-shaped lightning bolts, created through shape manipulation. These bolts can hit multiple targets."

"You'll find that a lot of the basic Raiton techniques are pretty similar to each other. It's the simple, chaotic nature of lightning."

"I do have one question for you. In a fight, why would the pale yellow glow in your arms be possibly a disadvantage?"


Souji pointed to a few targets nearby.

(Raiton: Shuurai Rappa no Jutsu) - Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Horn Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will raise their hand infront of them like a sword. It will begin glowing in a pale yellow before releasing bolts of lightning in the shape of a horn that spread outwards, allowing it to attack multiple targets.

After Shinobu completed the first technique, he handed her a special training sword. It was blunt without a sharp cutting edge in the shape of a basic katana.

"The reason that sword is blunt is because we're going to prove that lightning increases the cutting power of an object. I want you to get a good grip on that sword, use both hands if you have to. Channel your Raiton chakra from your hands through that entire sword, infusing it with lightning."

"Here's the tricky part, though. By controlling your chakra in the sword and in your hands, you can allow the sword to levitate in front of you, rotating it to create a spinning, floating sword. But we won't be done yet! By applying the principles of cloning, create two exact copies of the Raiton sword, making it three in total."

"By focusing and using hand gestures, you can then swing these swords around like large spinning attacks of death at your targets. Because the swords are infused with Raiton, they'll obviously be stronger. Remember that if your focus breaks, the swords stop, and while you're focused, you can't perform other jutsus, potentially leaving you vulnerable."


He set up a couple of fruits around the area.

"Let's see how good of a fruit ninja you are."

( Raiton: Inazuma ken Fudou ) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blades Levitation
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 15 (-5 per turn)
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 through hand gestures. While controlling the weapons, the user cannot mold chakra for other techniques and needs to keep focus.

(I'm terribly sorry for the extremely long reply. I've been so busy with IRL that I've almost forgotten about this thread. Won't happen again. I'll try not to make this post too long for both of our time benefit :p)

Eyes in excitement, Shinobu thought; that went quick... and began to nod to her sensei's statement's in agreement. Following the instructions of the first jutsu, Shinobu without any confusions and doubts, calmly raises her left arm and begins to mold Raiton chakra to her palm. Gathering the required amount of energy, Shinobu notices glow, yellowish in color, beginning to form. Glow formed at it's limit, Shinobu quickly begins to visualize the required shape manipulation mentioned by her senpai; "horn-shaped lightning bolts..." Shinobu mumbles quietly. Realizing her chakra has shapely manipulated the way she'd imagined, Shinobu performs the jutsu.

Answering senpai's question, she states with a little bit of confidence, with a soft voice; "Sounds kinda obvious. The opponent may realize this technique (or any other) is going to be in use, so he has an advantage to counter or find anything else to do for avoiding it."



Completing the first technique, Shinobu looks over at senpai and awaits he's opinions.
---​
Handed with a training sword, Shinobu got more curious. She wasn't very good with katana and other equipment, she specialized more with jutsu control as a descendant of the Yamanaka clan. Shinobu held the sword the way Souji-senpai instructed. "Let's see how I go..." she shyly states, unintentionally heard by senpai. Completely used to molding chakra, all she had to get into was transferring some of the molded chakra into the sword. Doing so, with massive focus, she was able to allow the sword to levitate in front of her, rotating it, making it spin and float. By applying the principles of cloning, Shinobu creates two exact copies of the Raiton sword, making it three in total.

Focusing at the fruits set in front of her, Shinobu fulfills the required hand gestures, performing the jutsu instructed.

(It's fine, no rush. Just do it when you can, I'm also trying to make my training more efficient for all my students ^^)

"Excellent. Always pay attention in battle; the smallest hints can create openings for your counters."

"This is the last C-rank technique! It's pretty easy, mold Raiton chakra in one of your hands, and allow it to surround your entire arm. When you slam your hand onto the ground, it discharges the electricity through the ground and attacks anything around you with lightning bolts up to short-range."

"An interesting area-of-effect jutsu. Sucks that it's only short range. Hm."


( Raiton: Denki Railanshō ) - Lightning Release: Electric Discharge Palm
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
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. The user will then slam 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.
