Have you had any previous training in Lightning? If so can you link your previous training thread here?

No sensai this will be my first in Raiton. I have yet to find a sensai to teach me in lightning until I came across you sensai.

 

[Alternative]

Alright, well it's always best to start from the beginning. ^^

Tell me what you know of Lightning Release. What is it which makes it different from the other elements, and how it can be used in battle. You can refer to how other people have used the element to help you with this question. Sasuke, Kakashi, Raikage etc.

 

[Vexion]

Raiton is one of the five 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. 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.it does not move as fast as true lightning.

 

[Alternative]

That's actually pretty spot on, great job on the description.
Yes, Lightning infusion into weapons can be considered sharper than Wind due to the high frequency vibrations the chakra takes form of, and just speed in general which makes it seem sharper than Wind.

A lot of Sasuke's Chidori variants are designed for the numbing potential that Lightning has in them. Techniques like Chidori Senbon are made for a wide-scale numbing, then there's Chidori Spear which can be used to numb certain spots of the body, and Chidori Nagashi which spreads out Lightning everywhere, and in our RP can be used to break out of genjutsu. :3

Alright, now that we've defined what that is, what about other elements? What relationship does Lightning have with the other elements, and which would be the best elements to defend against Lightning?

 

[Vexion]

Lightining has a great relationship with water because water makes a great conductor and could add to the damage making it very fatal. Lightning can cut through lower leveled Earth jutsu quite easily hitting the enemy through the earth. Lightning as far as I know does not have any relationship with fire and wind. The best elements to defend against lightning would be wind because you could break the chakra way disposing of it immediately

 

[Alternative]

That's pretty much the best way to put it.

Lightning is weak against Wind, as it's a natural insulator and will disperse it. Therefore making Lightning something you shouldn't be using against it. Though there's a technique later which uses it but we'll talk about that when we get there.

It's strong against Earth as it's a good conductor. The materials found in Earth can attract the Lightning techniques and essentially rip them apart like they were nothing.

You're pretty much right with Water. Lightning is often strengthened by Water techniques due to the ability to conduct them, but you have to be careful about when you use it.

Lightning and Fire is interesting together, as they are both considered Yang elements. Both are primarily performed in a plasmatic state, and are quite tangible which makes them so strong together. Aside this, they compliment each others' weaknesses as well.
Probably one of the best combinations to use in our RP would be the classic Wall of Fire, followed up by a Spear of Lightning. The fire will make them want to perform Water to defend against it, and then the Lightning comes from behind which because they're using Water, conducts the lightning and potentially shocking them greatly.

If you have no questions about Lightning in general, we'll move onto techniques.

 

[Vexion]

I have no other questions about Raiton Sensai.

 

[Alternative]

Alright then, let's move on.

I'll talk a little bit about how this training will differ from a usual approach where I give you techniques and you perform them for me. The way I train is trying to implement my own style, as well as adapt to what my own sensei, Zero Kelvin uses. What I mean is that I will try to take a more theoretical approach, asking more specific questions about techniques to get the most knowledge out of you for them, asking your opinions on techniques and so on. It'll be different from a usual training so that's all you need to know. :3

Any questions about it? If not we'll move onto the techniques.

 

[Vexion]

Im ready to move on when you are.

 

[Alternative]

I just realised I'm so bad with this continuity thing. xD

But anyway, we'll start this off.

Spoiler

(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.

Basic technique with a basic description on how to use it. Doesn't require handseals or anything so as a starter technique it's alright in my books. Now if you understand the technique, I'd like for you to come up with your own scenario where you use this jutsu in a combination with something else you've already learnt. What's the most ideal situation for you to use this in. Also describe why you chose that situation and how you'd counter the situation.

 

[Vexion]

As both of them stand there. Kronoa takes a running start while blowing fireballs from his mouth toward his opponent.

Spoiler

( Bakuhatsu Enhogan ) – Exploding Flame Shots
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user shoots multiple fire shots from their hands that are able to cause fiery explosions on impact with any object. The shots can't set the opponent on fire, though they can cause damage by exploding on him.

After shooting the balls of flame kronoa is now short range from the opponent. Kronoa pulls himself underground as his opponent is still dazed. Kronoa pulls his enemy underground until only his head is shown.

Spoiler

(Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user, emerging from the ground below the target area, pulls down the opponent so that only their head is above ground. Unable to move, the opponent can easily be decapitated or tortured.

kronoa pulls himself back up directly behind the enemys head. Kronoa manipulates chakra into his hands and then unleashes lightning chakra on his opponents head.

Spoiler

(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.

 

[Alternative]

I don't really expect you to be making moves like this in my training, since it's not really what I was going for. What I meant was like what's the best time for you to use this technique, like if they're immobilized underground or using it in conjunction with Water. Though if you prefer doing it like this then I'm willing to comply.

Just a small something to remember, Double Suicide Decapitation can only be used together with Hiding Like a Mole, since the technique states you have to be emerging from underground. Unless something's changed by the mods' ruling it'd be best to stick to using it after that so you don't get caught out with an illegitimate move.

But considering this is Lightning training, it's nothing too big. I like your usage of the technique on your opponent's head, using it like this to fry their brain would be a surefire way of killing someone since no one would be able to withstand something like that.

With that done, we'll move onto the next part of training...

Spoiler

(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.

(Raiton: Raijingu Sanda) - Lightning Style: Raging Thunder
Rank: D
Type: Attack

(Raiton: Sandaa Saaburu) - Lightning Style: Thunder Saber
Rank: D

(Ration: Ikazuchi Kashou) - Lightning Release: Thunder Burn
Rank: D

Description: The user fires a wave of lightning bolts at the opponent.

These are the remainder of the D-Rank Lightning techniques, and they are pretty straight forward as you can tell from the description. I'd like for you to rearrange these techniques in order of what you consider to be the most useful to the least, along with a reason as to why you chose the order.

I put them in the order that I thought would be the most effective not only offensively but defensively as well. I am the type of guy that dont only think about hurting the enemy but I think about keeping myself safe in the process.

 

[Alternative]

I see. Well I won't lie, a lot of these techniques do get stronger variants later on, so I don't expect you to use these at all in battle. Though I like how you're thinking about a style to use which compliements your fighting abilities, that's always something good to learn early on.

Okay, so this next part of training is a little different, and is more done to test your knowledge and understanding of the techniques shown to you. While most of them are straight forward, I hope to try you in an actual situation where you need to apply these techniques to good use. I will provide you with scenarios or situations which you might come across, and you will give examples as to the best technique to use in that situation, along with your reasoning as to why you chose that ability. We'll start with one since the amount of techniques are dismal, but later on we'll need to use more examples where you show that you know understanding of the abilities you're learning.

If you don't have any questions, we'll continue onto this next phase.

 

[Vexion]

Alright then.

A shinobi approaches you at mid-range and shoots a large mass of mud towards you, in an attempt to either blind you or push you back.

(Doton: Dorosandan) – Earth Release: Mudshot
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 10
Description: The user spits a thick globule of mud at the target. If aimed correctly, it can blind the target's vision and choke them. It can also be used to create a sticky patch on the ground.

For this I'd like for you to choose the best technique to use in this scenario, and the worst technique to use and why you chose these techniques. Remember the range the opponent is standing at when he uses this technique, and react accordingly.

 

[Vexion]

I believe I would counter the globe of mud being shot at me with the simple earth release technique and fashioning a shield to block the mudshot. I believe the worst thing to do would to use a water jutsu because the globe of mud would probably travel through it and hit me.

 

[Alternative]

I think you missed the point here, or I just didn't explain it very well. xD

The aim of this exercise is to show you have some sense of knowledge and understanding in your Lightning techniques we've just spoken about. As such, you should be using these techniques to reply to the move this random shinobi has just used against you.

Try again, but this time you're restricted to the Lightning techniques as discussed above.
