Waaiz sees a guy coming with some flashy effects and he introduces himself to Waaiz, then Waaiz responds "Hello senpai , my Name is Waaiz Hyūga , I dislike annoying things , arguments, and summers, and I like training, joking , eating, and winters :D hehe"
"Now about Raiton:
It is one of
the five basic elemental nature
transformation techniques that allows
the user to generate lightning by
increasing the high frequency
vibrations of their chakra, allowing for
piercing damage and fast movement.
The electricity paralyses the target so
that they are unable to move and leave
them vulnerable to a finishing strike. While uncommon,
lightning can be infused into bladed
weapons in a way similar to Wind
Release through chakra flow for
increased piercing power through
vibrations, with the added effect of
inducing numbness.

*Catches his breath
When the
technique is released from their
bodies, and thus not requiring
physical contact, it does not move as
fast as true lightning. Instead, due to
the control the user has to exert over
it, it moves far slower, which can give
opponents time to still react.
Lightning Release is common to the
ninja of Kumogakure .

"Now lets see about its elemental weakness and strength"
" Lightning is strong against earth
because it can easily travel
through and break the ground apart
but weak against wind because it
is a natural electrical insulator. At
the same time, lightning can
potentially surpass the penetrative
force of wind by increasing the
former's vibration frequency high
enough.
Lightning also has a unique
relation with water, since water
conducts electricity. This means
that a Water Release technique can
be used to increase the damage of
a Lightning Release technique and
vice versa. Though this also
means that if one's opponent still
has a physical connection with the
water, either a pre-existing source
or one created with their own
chakra, then they can be paralysed
via their own technique.
Lightning is much more powerful
when it utilises natural lightning;
a powerful Fire Release
technique shot into the sky can
produce thunderclouds in
preparation for this.
Lightning-natured chakra is a
component of the following kekkei
genkai : Storm Release."

*Annoying things as bright text that hurts my old eyes* Also did you sing that cuz it looks like it is in song format. LMFAO, you really like blue huh?

"Ah a Hyuuga. You guys are great! Those veins aren't creepy at all. ^^ Here have a date with this electrical cord I found in Ame...don't touch it. It will bring you closer to Raiton ^^ I'll now give ya some notes on Raiton.

Yes Raiton has the reputation of being the fastest basic element in the NW whether its in its natural state or not, Kirin is so fast that it can only be stopped or avoided by automatic defenses like Susano'o, or other extremely fast techniques like FTG. So it can cut through almost anything that is solid (Lightning Cutter) and can also be used to paralyze an enemy(Nagasgi) beyond measure, then you have techs like Kirin made for pure destruction. Raiton can easily be applied to most metal weapons as it conducts the Raiton and gains its piercing/cutting ability. You might see this often with kenjutsu type fighters. Some of its techs might require le stormy conditions but other than that Raiton jutsus are usually channeled by the user himself meaning terrain never really matters as you will most likely be able to use it unless you're like underwater or waist deep in it. LMAO. You know its basic weaknesses and strengths, but here are some more.
Le solids>>Lightning can easily cut through solid material
Lava is weak to Raiton
Wood is weak to Raiton
Crystal is weak to Raiton
Ice is weak to Raiton
Steel is weak to Raiton
Sand is weak to Raiton
Dead Bone Pulse is weak to Raiton
Notice how these are solids?

Strong to Scorch because they cant be dehydrated, neutral to Dust cuz it cant be disentagrated, can diffuse detonation in Blast release, lightning can eliminate shadows around you if used properly.

Paper is actually strong to Raiton as iis the viberations that produce its cutting power, and lightning cannot be effectively channeled through paper so it is actually double weak to Paper.

Raiton is also weak to Dark release which absorbs forms of raw energy like fire, storm, lightning.

Raiton can also contend with magnetism if the enemy is in contact with the metal they are using. It can also disrupt the magnetic field though it is neutral in this regard.

Be careful around rain as in certain cases Rain jutsus can get you electrocuted should you use Raiton.

KG: Raiton mastery is required in Blast Release, Dark Release, Sound Release, and Swift Release

Raiton is one of the hardest basic elements to perform jutsu combinations with. When I say combinations I mean mixing jutsus or combining jutsus. The only thing that has that relationship is suiton and even then you have to be careful to not electrocute yourself. In most if not all cases Raiton powers water not the other way around as the Raiton is conducted through water. Water is not conducted or mixed into Raiton so what you have is a powered Raiton tech. Next best thing is Fire which does not necessarily mix with Raiton but because of their intangible nature Raiton and Katon can pass through each other without effecting one another in any way. Some Katon techs are solid enough to be effected by Raiton,however. Some people have figured out ways to create jutsus that utilize the power of Raiton along with Fuuton or Doton, there is even a jutsu that deals with Earth when we get to it. It is not a common thing and you have to get creative whn utilizing Raiton with earth and Fuuton as their interaction almost guarantess the destruction of one or the other. Another note is that although Raiton is not weak to water you must be careful. If the opponent uses a water jutsu near you; you have to be certain you can pull off a Raiton based attack without harming yourself.


Any questions and how's your date going??^^, Just a heads up I have a whole box of unorthodox ways to teach ya so buckle up and enjoy. xD

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE TRAINING HAS FINISHED BUFFERING
----------------
Okay no probs since you have had pior training and developed some Raiton knowledge we will begin your first technique now.

This is a very basic lighting jutsu as you are just creating basic forms and manipulation of Raiton. Feel free to attack me with it, as I don't feel a theat from jutsu such as this. Be as descriptive as possible with your performance. Here is the template amd explanaions of why they are there.

Uses: How could this jutsu be used and in what situations would you have to use it, creative uses, any uses outside of battle any uses outside of attacking?
The number one thing of effectively using a jutsu is knowing the right time to use them. You will see as we continue that all of these jutsus are of the earth element but they cannot all be used in the same situation, for the same purposes. Having an A rank earth jutsu is useless if you don’t know how and when to use it.
Counters: Specifically how would you counter this jutsu, and name drawbacks of this jutsu
Strange huh learning a counter to your jutsu but if you know what the drawbacks of your own jutsu are you can effectively prepare to cover that drawback with other strategies and you can predict opponents nexts moves preparing appropriate strategies ahead of time. Think of specific jutsu counters if you can but for D ranks since a multitude of things can counter it you may list generic drawbacks as well.
Combinations: Specific combinations including this jutsu
As you know you can perform 3 jutsus per turn. I doubt you will just be sending this one jutsu out and leave yourself open to combination attacks so this will help you develop a base for what works and what doesn’t work with this jutsu.
Jutsu Rating: Admittedly I picked this one up from NK sensei (when he was sensei). I like this because it will develop your thoughts on your fighting style. You will have an affinity to use some jutsus more than others that is just a fact. I want you to rate from 1-10 based on how much YOU like this jutsu. Just because it is S rank does not mean it will get a 9 or 10 or that you will even like using it, what matters is if you are comfortable using it in your style of fighting so rate it and tell me why you gave it that rating.
We’re going through D ranks 1 at a time and S ranks will be 1 at a time. Other ranks will be at 2 or 3 at a time

Perform: Waaiz focuses his raw chakra om his hand and then he thinks everything about lightening his senpai thought him and then he feels a current running inside his body then he focuses that Raiton chakra on his hand releases the bolts at his sensei and gives him a minor shock.
Uses: I would transfer this raiton chakra to my legs and arns and then fight , it would be a lot effective
Counters: I medium sized fireball to get him lost his attention
Combination: A water jutsu and then boom , he is fried.
Jutsu Rating
100 because it is the basic one , it helps to understand the Lightening usage.

I simply counter with the same attack to neutralize it so that their are no injuries on either side.

NOTES ON (Raiton no Jutsu) - Lightning Release Technique
The jutsu does not specify where these bolts may be released from but they are indeed released forward as small bolts toward your target. I doubt they are channeled through your body to aid in taijutsu/freeform based movements. As a counter I am not sure why you went with a fire jutsu as a counter. Besides the fire jutsus that are solid which are few relative to normal fire jutsus, they will pass through each other. So if you were going against this jutsu fire would be the wrong way to go unless it was solid. Even a high rank earth would be a better choice. I agree with the water as a combo as lightning strengthens water so it would be your water jutsu ranking up not the lightning...remember that be careful when handling water and lighting though because then you may be the one that is fried. Pretty basic and can be countered by pretty much anything but D rank elements it is strong against or E-D rank basic uncondensed ninjutsu/chakra. Yep yep this is were it starts.

Again attack me with this next jutsu. I might be crazy but I like to be involved *smiles with an evil grin* this time you will use the ground to channel your ration chakra to move across the ground toward me.

(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.

You see my whole body become enveloped in Raiton as I use Nagashi to counter your surge of chakra.


Try harder to think of some counters to this D rank Raiton. If you can't counter this then how can I move on to C or S ranks for that matter. LOL I will not let my students off easy.

The kunai is a no but yes you can use an earth technique to send the lightning out of range. However you could simply counter with your own technique that is similar to this one. Create a large break in the ground so the current cannot continue. Use a fuuton technique to cancel the lightning. It is a d rank technique that can only be used short range so I wouldn't try and play around trying to counter this with an earth technique especially a low ranked one, you better use a C rank earth tech if you insist on doing that. Better to counter with fuuton or Raiton at that range. Even a wave of Suiton (that is not in contact with you) can stop the attack. Its fairly easy to counter.

Now go ahead and perform this next one. With a wave of your palm you will unleash a wave of lightning bolts forward.

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

Again I use Nagashi to simply deflect the weak lightning attack as I laugh out loud.
"Keep trying buddy"

NOTES: You can use it mid range as well but if you had a golden opportunity yea its relatively fast compared to a lot of jutsus since it does not require handseals but it can still easily be countered. If the enemy is connected to the water or trapped by it then this would be a good attack to pressure the enemy but as you get further in training you would probably prefer other techs. One note is I am not too sure about the crack in the ground. The description itself makes me believe this is not a current that needs a medium so if you're mid range you're probably getting hit.

*hands you a performance manual* Perform these next three.

( 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.

(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.


(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.

Oh god...why must my great and old sensei force me to teach you people :<? Scorps!!!!!! Im going to get you for this!


Now before we get back on track, lets get a little side tracked with a quick recap on your knowledge. Id like you to answer the following questions to the best of you ability. These are the basic concept that create a ninja in the naruto verse:

Ninja
Chakra
Ninjutsu
The two main aspects that are core in Ninjutsu
Genjutsu
Elemental Ninjutsu

Then I want you to go more in depth about Lighting Release for me

Ninja
A ninja is someone who uses their full abilities in the service of his/hers beliefs, working to achieve a goal. This goal can be anything from peace to war, money, destruction, personal griefs or even revenge and can be shared with others or individual. Most ninjas are fighters and correspond to the bulk of the military force of the great nations. However, a ninja doesn't need to be a fighter. Even medics or a simple carpenter may, in times of need, use his abilities (medical knowledge or abilities in working with wood for example) to accomplish the goals he set to himself, following his beliefs.
Chakra
Chakra is the energy that is formed through the passive combination of both the Physical and the Spiritual energies in a sentient being (every living being with a conscious mind has chakra). Physical energy corresponds to the vitality of the body and its own energy. Spiritual energy corresponds to the mind or spirit, and comes from the awareness and "soul" of each sentient being. Some ninjas have high levels of chakra because they have great physical energy (like the Akimichi or even Tsunade) and others because of their spiritual energy (like the Uchiha and the Yamanaka). However, its much more difficult to increase the spiritual energy than the physical one, thus why all ninjas pass through intensive physical workout.
Genjutsu
I dont know much about it but Genjutsu or Illusionary arts deals with chakra sending to opponents mind to mix his chakra to his and make the opponent confuse and make him see diffrent diffrent things. It deals with 4 senses hearing, feel,vision and smell, It requires chakra and hand seals.
Elemental Ninjutsu
Well, This like changing our chakra in to the 5 basic elements by applying nature transformation to our chakra. Umm.. the basic 5 elements are Katon,Suiton,Doton,Futon and Raiton, It deals with releasing the natured chakra from our Tenketsus and This is mainly used in fighting. Uh Thats all i Know.
Raiton
It is one of the five basic elemental nature transformation techniques that allows the user to generate lightning by increasing the high frequency vibrations of their chakra, allowing for piercing damage and fast movement. The electricity paralyses the target so that they are unable to move and leave them vulnerable to a finishing strike. While unfocused lightning can be infused into bladed weapons in a way similar to Wind Release through chakra flow for increased piercing power through vibrations, with the added effect of inducing numbness. When the technique is released from their bodies, and thus not requiring physical contact, it does not move as fast as true lightning. Instead, due to the control the user has to exert over it, it moves far slower, which can give opponents time to still react. It is weak to Wind and Strong to Water in a different way, and Earth.
Unfocused Lightning

This type of lightning was made famous when Sasuke used the Nagashi. Mainly lightning is considered something that will pierce anything, however unfocused lightning does not do that. It is a traveling circuit of electricity, that can move along almost any conductive material of lightning, such as metal, earth, and water. Regular lightning would just pierce right through (water not as much however since its a natural conductor), unfocused lightning can easily run through it making combos a thing of beauty. Realize that some unfocused lightning can in fact tear through objects if commanded by or through the specific component of the technique. It does not necessarily have the same damage output either, it is not as lethal, it does have a very strong paralyzing effect to it that can numb and hinder an opponents movement with ease. Making it useful against fast pace opponent, it travels at the same speed and moves pretty forward depending on aim. It can be used with many creative things and its limits are bound only to the person controlling it.

Here is a little more info to add into from my Sensei which I find quite useful:

±± Ninja ±±
A ninja is someone who uses their full abilities in the service of his/hers beliefs, working to achieve a goal. This goal can be anything from peace to war, money, destruction, personal griefs or even revenge and can be shared with others or individual. Most ninjas are fighters and correspond to the bulk of the military force of the great nations. However, a ninja doesn't need to be a fighter. Even medics or a simple carpenter may, in times of need, use his abilities (medical knowledge or abilities in working with wood for example) to accomplish the goals he set to himself, following his beliefs.


±± Chakra ±±
Chakra is the energy that is formed through the passive combination of both the Physical and the Spiritual energies in a sentient being. Physical energy corresponds to the vitality of the body and its own energy. Spiritual energy corresponds to the mind or spirit, and comes from the awareness and "soul" of each sentient being.

Some ninjas have high levels of chakra because they have great physical energy (like the Akimichi or even Tsunade) and others because of their spiritual energy (like the Uchiha and the Yamanaka). However, its much more difficult to increase the spiritual energy than the physical one, thus why all ninjas pass through intensive physical workout.

±± Ninjutsu ±±
Ninjutsu, or Ninja Arts, is the ability to, through the use of chakra, accomplish tasks that would be otherwise impossible to do. Ninjutsu are done by molding the chakra and using it to produce the desired effect/technique. This is done by two basic principles: Shape and Nature Manipulations. These correspond to the two broad areas that one needs to change in the chakra to produce a jutsu. Shape manipulation pertains to the ability to give your chakra a desired form while Nature manipulation pertains to the ability to give your chakra a desired set of characteristics/properties. Sometimes, to better mold chakra, ninja use Handseals. Handseals are simply hand gestures that allow the ninja to more easily concentrate and mold the chakra into the desired technique.

±± Genjutsu ±±
Genjutsu, or Illusionary Arts, unlike ninjutsu, don't produce a real, palpable, feasible effect; it produces an illusionary effect. With a specific KG however, the illusions can become so strong that the body will be fooled into mimicking in real life the fake effects its perceiving through the illusion. There exists two types of Genjutsu: the passive, non chakra fueled ones (basically illusions to our senses like visual paradoxes and such which have little use in the RP and can be easily overcome through experience and logic) and the active, chakra fueled ones. Within the active chakra fueled ones two subtypes exist: Dojutsu fueled Genjutsu and Normal Genjutsu.

Genjutsu works by using chakra to disturb the chakra flow of the opponent, specially in the brain, altering his senses. By doing this you can make him perceive any thing his senses are capable of: pain, heat, cold, tickles, iching, etc etc. A ninja can make the opponent taste, smell, feel, see or hear anything he wants. However, because this is done by using your chakra to manipulate his chakra flow, the ninja needs to be close or, many times, have direct eye contact or even physical contact. This is the main limitation of Genjutsu: range. The further you are away from your opponent, the harder it is to induce the fluctuation on his chakra flow to produce the genjutsu.

How exactly does it work? Well, every one has a balanced chakra flow. The chakra flows in a balanced combination of both physical and spiritual energies. The ratio between them vary from person to person (that is how each person has a different chakra signature) but its always calm and balanced. To produce a genjutsu, a ninja uses his chakra to disturb that balance in a controlled way. A fluctuation is created in the persons chakra "wave length" and makes it fluctuate in a given way. This produces the illusion by scrambling the users link between his Spirit and his Body which effectively is the link between his mind and his senses. To make your chakra be capable of doing the correct fluctuation, you need to use, most of the times, handseals. These help you mold and shape and focus your chakra to the correct wave length you want to induce, thus enabling you to use it to disturb the targets chakra flow.

±± Taijutsu ±±
Taijutsu is basically Hand to Hand combat. Its composed of several disciplines and arts, the most used of which is called Strong Fist. Other types include for example, Gentle Fist. Taijutsu uses the body as a weapon to attack or defend against your enemy. Its powered by chakra but in a different way than Ninjutsu or Genjutsu, as you don't need to mold chakra to perform Taijutsu (as seen in Rock Lee's case). Chakra in Taijutsu acts as the fuel, powering the body through its moves, specially in terms of Physical energy. The main characteristic of Taijutsu is that it can be combined with several other areas of a ninja's arsenal, such as Kenjutsu or Ninjutsu (in this case producing Nintaijutsu). This makes Taijutsu the basic skill every ninja has to have.

Taijutsu can be advanced through mastery of the Eigh Inner Gates. These are "limiters" that exist within the chakra circulatory system and that regulate and limit the chakra output, keeping it at safe levels, thus keeping the body safe. Through intense training and skill, a ninja can unlock them gaining access to increased chakra output and, through that, increased physical power. However, doing so damages the body and may even lead to death.

±± Kenjutsu ±±
Kenjutsu or Sword Arts, are the skills regarding the use of swords in battle. Its in essence a more advanced variation of Taijutsu in which you use a bladed weapon (sword) to increase the letal capability of your attacks and to increase your defensive ability. Sword Arts vary greatly, perhaps even more than Taijutsu, and can, as the former, be combined with Ninjutsu or Taijtusu to increase its abilities and power.

±± Fuuinjutsu or Sealing Arts ±±

Fuuinjutsu or Sealing Arts, are a type of Jutsu that seals chakra, living beings, objects, energy, etc whithin another object through the use of kanji codes/spells.

Fuuinjutsu may vary greatly but most obey the same basic principle: You need a medium (living or not) in which was prepared the Kanji Codes/Inscriptions of the seal. You need to expend chakra to activate the seal and chakra to sustain it for a given amount of time. To release it, you must once again expend chakra to unlock the seal, while still needing the correct "key". The "key" is a variation of the technique only known to those who create it, thus disabling the probability of the seal being released by someone else; it can be a given set of handseals or even a DNA imprint (through a blood contract). However, even if most seals may work in this simple fashion, some more advanced seals work in many other ways. Even if you take into account that all seals must be triggered/fueled by chakra, they must all have a medium in which to seal away the target.

Because seals are fueled by chakra, they become weakened through time, as the chakra that was expended to create and maintain it, becomes consumed. Because of this, when sealing something in a living being, the seal is generally made to use the chakra from the being to sustain itself, delaying the eventual weakening.

±± Gogyo/Godai or The Five Natural Elements ±±
In Narutoverse exists 5 main energies in Nature: Fire (Hi), Earth (Tsuchi), Wind (Kaze), Water (Mizu) and Lightning (Raikou). Fire represents rebirth; destruction as a means for creation and emotions. Earth represents resilience, strength and durability; stability and bounds. Wind represents freedom, absence of regret and freedom of spirit. Water represents tranquility and peace; life and nurturing. Lightning represents wildness and boldness; its the element that embodies the desire to break free and to rebel.

±± Godai Seishitsu Henka or The Five Elemental Ninjutsu ±±
Elemental Ninjutsu correspond to the ability to manipulate or use the basic 5 elements for Nature through Ninjutsu, more specifically through Nature Manipulation. These correspond to 5 releases or styles: Earth Release (Doton), Fire Release (Katon), Water Release (Suiton), Lightning Release (Raiton) and Wind Release (Fuuton).

Each of these releases has a weakness and a strength towards another element:

-Fire Release is weak against Water Release and strong against Wind Release
-Wind Release is weak against Fire Release but strong against Lightning Release
-Lightning Release is weak against Wind Release but strong against Earth Release
-Earth Release is weak against Lightning Release but strong against Water Release
-Water Release is weak against Earth Release but strong against Fire Release
