As shikamaru watching the cloud a guy came and poke him to wake him up. The guy are a fellow Konoha ninja and he introduce himself as Chelsea, he will be shikamaru new teacher then ask shikamaru to introduce himself.Chelsea entered into the training ground which looks rather calm and serene. It is rare for a training ground to be that much calm and serene. There was no activity whatsoever. Chelsea walked further inside to investigate and saw a guy laying on the ground, watching clouds with a nonchalant look on his face. Interestingly, the face was familiar.o.o
It was Shikamaru Nara from her village.
Chelsea walked towards the guy and poked him a little to wake him up.
Good morning. My name is Chelsea and I am going to be your new teacher.
Chelsea then strolled back a little, folded her hands and continued..
Now, before I proceed further, I want to know more about you. Just basic things, such as your name, your other training stats and your RP goals will suffice. Also, I want you to tell me in your own words, what is chakra.
Apart from that since we are here to learn to Raiton/Lightning release. I want you to tell me about the lightning release. Its strength and weaknesses, any notable cannon users that you are aware of and what lightning signifies for you in real life and yeah don't copy paste.U_U
''Could you tell me about interaction between lightning and water. They are neutral to each other but water increases lightning strength right? other than that we can continue.''Chelsea heeds to her student carefully,
Good analysis. Though you missed few points, which I guess I should add before proceeding.
Chakra:Just like you pointed out, chakra is nothing but the life force. The life force that is present in each and every shinobi in the ninja world and just like you mentioned shinobi needs chakra to perform the jutsus. It is called life force because a shinobi can't stay alive without having chakra and dies after his chakra reaches to zero, just like Kakashi died in Pain arc while fighting against deva path. Chakra is circulated over the entire body using the electronic circuit like system known as 'chakra pathway system'. Within this system, there are 361 nodes known as 'tenketsus'. This tenketsus are analogous to the switches present in an electronic circuits and control the flow of chakra. This trait is used by clans such as Hyuuga clan that has Byakugan, a dojutsu that can use this quality of tenketsus to harm their opponents. Apart from tenketsus, there are also 'eight gates' which limit the flow the of chakra individual can release so that it won't harm the individual.
Each individual has their own chakra reserves, which can be increased by working on physical energy or experience. You were right, when you said that chakra=physical+spiritual energy, but you forgot to add that there are many other types of chakras as well, such as tailed beast chakra or senjutsu chakra. Tailed beasts are unique beasts found in the Narutoverse and has unique red colored chakra, which is large in quantity. Senjutsu chakra on the other hand uses natural energy alongside individual's own chakra to produce unique skills known as 'senjutsu skills'.
Chakra is nothing but physical energy(Yang attribute)+ Spiritual energy(Yin attribute) and different clans have different proportion of chakra and accordingly different proportion of Yang or Yin attribute.For example, Senju clan of forest has high amount of chakra reserves due to good endurance and physical abilities(Yang part) and Uchiha clan of Konoha are good with spiritual abilities(Yin part), making them good with genjutsus. Chakra of every shinobi has distinct color and based upon which it is possible to see chakra of individual and track him/her, trait which dojutsu like 'sharingan' uses to track shinobis. Irregularity in chakra flow can be good indication of shinobi being in a genjutsu.
One needs to have good amount of control over his chakra to use proper jutsus. So that one can use his chakra 'efficiently' without much of loss of chakra or under usage of chakra. Typical exercises of improving chakra control include tree climbing, water walking etc. Also, it is seen that medical ninjutsu generally require better chakra control as compared to normal ninjutsus. Ninjutsus can be classified in two types, based upon procedures knowingly, shape manipulation and elemental manipulation. Shape manipulation is nothing but adding shape to your jutsu, such as rasengan, while elemental manipulation includes adding elemental affinity to it, such as chidori of raiton type.
All ninjutsus require chakra in Narutoverse, though taijutsu and free form movements doesn't need it. They only need stamina and hence they can be used even when user has very low amount of chakra.
About Lightning:Lightning is one of the five basic elements that a shinobi can use in NV. This ability lets the user produce lightning bolts which are formed by using high frequency vibrations of the chakra, just like it is produced using vibration of electrons in our day to day life. Lightning release just like Wind release is used for offensive purposes and is generally used to deliver sharp cuts and do piercing damage. Lightning can also be used to increase the movement speed of the user, as in case of raikage. One can also channel lightning through his weapons to increase their piercing power. Lightning can also be used to cause paralyzing effects in your opponents and make them numb. In some cases, it can be also used to help your opponent put in genjutsu, though this type of usage is pretty rare.
You were right when you said that lightning is weak against wind, but strong against Earth. One more point to note here is, it also contributes to many KGs, such as storm release.
Chelsea finishes her huge speech and leaves a sigh of relief. So, I guess that's it. There are few points I would like to add in later stages of training, but I guess that should suffice for now. I liked your view towards lightning btw, it is indeed beautiful, but at the same time really destructive and is almost instantaneous, property that is used in case of Sasuke's kirin for example, making it really difficult to dodge.
Chelsea then removed jutsu scrolls from her pocket.
Before I proceed, I want to know if you have any doubts..
*shikamaru catch the paperAh...Good question.
I forgot to tell you about that, so my apologies.
Chelsea places her scroll back into her pocket and answers your question.
Yes, Lightning and Water indeed share unique relationship. Lightning and Water aren't related in the weakness and strength chart, but water is a good conductor of lightning and hence water can be used to increase the range of your lightning jutsu and in turn make it more powerful.
Consider the example of Sasuke vs Darui fight. Before using lightning jutsu, Darui used a water jutsu and then used a lightning jutsu. Water jutsu acted as a carrier, amplifying the effect of lightning jutsu which he used after that. Thing to note here is, effective range of the combination is the range of the water jutsu. For example, if I used a mid range water jutsu to create a lake and then sent lightning bolts towards my opponent standing on top of that lake, then it will electrocute the entire lake. The downside is, if I am standing on top of that lake as well, then it will electrocute and harm me too. This is the reason one must take precautions while using lightning jutsus.
Though, you know what is irony here?? Both water and lightning come together to form an interesting KG, which is storm release.
Chelsea then removed a chakra paper from her pocket and threw it towards you.
Now, what I want you to do is, think about lightning in your mind and then try channeling your lightning chakra through this piece of paper and then tell me what happens to that piece of paper.
*shikamaru take another paperChelsea sees that the guy has actually teared down the paper to pieces.
Ugh, I was expecting wrinkling of paper and then crumbling. Maybe you did it in a wrong way. Please retry.
Chelsea throws one more paper towards you.
OOC: You can always refer to wiki for additional help, just don't copy stuff word by word.![]()
Shikamaru focuses his chakra on his right hand, then he bring his hand forward aiming towards the dummy. After that he apply nature manipulation to change the chakra into lightning then he used shape manipulation to blast the lightning towards the dummy in the form of lightning bolt destroying the dummy into pieces.Well done. Now, that's what I was expecting.
Chelsea claps as she removes jutsu scrolls from her pocket.
Now, time to start the actual jutsus. We are going to do two at a time. I am going to teach you with my analysis method, where I post the jutsu, analyze it and then ask you question regarding the jutsu, which you have to answer. You can always stop me anytime to ask your doubts.
Chelsea then reads the description of first jutsu and then proceeds to analyze it.
The first one is a really basic lightning jutsu. You just have to gather your lightning chakra and then send it in the form of lightning bolts towards your opponent to shock him. The bolts can make their way till the mid range and can be used to shock multiple opponents standing on top of water(I already told you about unique relation between water and lightning, right??)
Also, it can be used in CQC battles alongside taijutsu to surprise your opponents. It doesn't require handseals and hence pretty fast.
Just try it out on the wooden dummy there.
Chelsea points at the wooden dummy standing at mid range from you.
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.
Second one, on the other hand sends serge of lightnings across the ground to shock your opponent. To achieve this, you need to concentrate your lightning chakra in your hand and then slam it on the ground to send the lightning across the ground. This reaches your opponent's feet to shock him. It is a short range jutsu, but can be used against multiple opponents, typically if they are standing on top of water source. You can use distraction before this technique, for its effective usage.
Btw, there is one problem with this jutsu, which makes it predictable. It is pretty simple, just figure it out and perform this technique on this clone.
Chelsea forms a clone and sends it running towards you.
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.
Shikamaru hear his senpai explanation then proceed to perform the jutsu.Chelsea sees the student performing his first jutsu and goes a little bit into the trance. It wasn't long before she was standing there and performing the same jutsu, that too under Dean. Interestingly, she is now Dean's senpai and have her own students. Time sure flies by....
Chelsea watches as her student, Shikamaru performs his first lightning jutsu in proper manner.
Good work on both the jutsus and yeah, you are right about the question as well.
Now about your first question, no it isn't continuous lightning but are lightning 'bolts'. That is you can throw them one after the other to attack opponent, making them one shot.
About second question, yes, you can use it till long range if your water source is large enough to conduct the lightning and you need to slam only one hand, though take care that you don't have any contact with water otherwise you will get shocked as well.
Chelsea then describes the next jutsu in front of you.
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.
Gather your lightning chakra in your palm and then shape manipulate it in the form of wave of lightning bolts, mind you 'wave' is the keyword here, which makes this jutsu continuous. Also, the jutsu is pretty simple and basic. Only useful when you are in tight spot or against multiple opponents(since you can move your palm and requires no handseals). Apart from that not that much useful. This is the last D-Rank jutsu, just perform it on the clone here.
Chelsea forms a clone which stands there shaking in her boots.
