thundering through the land with Akihiko

[Elementalist]

"Well....I would probably strike multiple nerve points.......most likely starting at the feet and legs....that way it could travel throughout the spinal chord and possibly cause paralysis. Or, if paralysis was not my objective...I may be able to fire multiple blows to my opponenets chest forcing him or her back into a longer range...opening them up to a range of attacks with powerful jutsu that could end the battle effectively......or...if killing was my intent....as a wise man once said.......aim for the head. It would succesfully electrocute the brain ending all functions of the body." I rattle off.

 

[Adachi]

"Perfect," I responded. "Nerve, vital points...all of these are important spots. And excellent emphasis on the paralysis effects of Raiton." Grinning, I slipped my hand into my cloak in preparation of the next move, pulling out...a mirror! O_O
I hold it up to Elementalist's face. "Let's start by focusing on an image of yourself," I said, waving the mirror back and forth. "Then, begin replicating that image of yourself through chakra. Release your chakra next to you and then manipulate it to become a form of yourself. Work on getting it perfect and solid.
Remember to focus purely on Raiton Chakra ONLY."

[Elementalist]

I look deep into the mirror and begin to look past the outside look and take a deep look at my facial structure, with my jaw clenched I close my eyes and focus a large portion of my chakra outside my body, into the air next to me and as a mental picture of myself pops into my head I begin to mold and shape the chakra to my desires..........starting with the face and leaving off with the legs and feet.
I open them to find an exact replica of myself standing next to me.
Oh God...have I just........given birth? my immediate thought was.
Without thinking, my hand reached out to touch the clone. As my fingers grew nearer I jerked my hand back abruptly.
At such a close distance I easily remembered this was not a human. I could feel that electricity coursed through it as opposed to blood and such.

 

[Adachi]

LOL! Given birth!
---
Something like absolute fascination crossed Elementalist as he observed the clone, walking around much like a scientist in a lab coat.
"Well, well," I said, chuckling. "Now, there are many uses for this jutsu. Can you name some?"

 

[Elementalist]

"Well the most obvious reason," I began, "is for distraction and confusing your opponent. Seeing as this is an exact replica of you, it allows you, if used at the right moment, say in the midst of a smoke bomb possibly, if you were able to use earth elements, this jutsu would allow you to create a replica of yourself then using your knowledge of the earth element jutsu to dig underneath the ground, concealing yourself from your opponent. Or, if you do not know earth jutsu, which I do not, if you are facing an opponent in a heavily plant infested area like tree's or something along the lines of boulders and large hiding places, this jutsu is great for that to. Which brings me to my next point, damage. Since this clone is made from pure electricity, if your opponent attacks you with physical blows, such as taijutsu, then it is possible to deal a great deal of damage to your opponent. I mean I have never taken a full electric blow to the face and body at close range, but I imagine it does not feel pleasant." I chuckle.

 

[Adachi]

"Excellent," I responded. "You covered a lot of the basics in your little rant there. People won't be able to tell who is the real you, and also, time frame. You can pull off two jutsus at once.
One last thing, they can also release you from Genjutsus by simply disturbing your chakra flow with a touch."
I clapped.
"Well done, as usual." Reaching towards my cloak, I pulled out a sword, tossing it at Elementalist. "Okay, so charge Raiton chakra into that blade."

(Raiton: Raiton Kage Bunshin) - Lightning Release: Lightning Shadow Clone
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: User creates a Shadow Clone of himself infused with his lighting chakra. When the clone gets hit he will return to its previous state of pure lighting chakra. The clone has a physical substance and therefor is able to use ninjutsu and taijutsu techniques as well as he has all the normal moves the user has.
Note: Can only use lightning based techniques up to B rank.

 

[Elementalist]

Taking the sword I swish it around experimentally in the air a few times to get accustomed to the blade.
Recalling learning a similar technique learned earlier in our training session, I easily channel my chakra to flow outward into the sword, making the chakra vibrate dangerously as it does.
With lightning surging through the sword I take a step toward a fallen tree limb, toss it straight up into the air and, as it comes back down, allow my hand to shoot forward, still gripping the sword, effectively slicing through the now halved limb.

 

[Adachi]

"Excellent job," I said, watching Elementalist artistically pull off a few moves.
"Now, what kinds of effect does the Raiton have on the sword?"

 

[Elementalist]

"Well i imagine that Raiton has a sort of enhancing effect." I began. "Seeing as an inexperienced sword user like myself would never have been able to slice the limb in half on his or her first try, leads me to believe me that one, the cutting capability of the sword becomes greater than it normally was, I's say now that it would become greater than some standard wind attacks........" I stand there thinking. "Hmmmmm, and also, I think, it would allow you to pull off kenjutsu combined with lightning jutsu faster since you already have lightning chakra channeled into the sword.......but that may just be my opinion sensei."

 

[Adachi]

"Eh," I responded. "Not sure if it you would be able to transition the Raiton chakra from the blade into another move. Now, one more question. Say that your opponent created a huge swamp beneath you and you began sneaking into it, how would you use only a blade and Raiton chakra to get out of it?"

 

[Elementalist]

"Well sensei, I believe that you would be able to disperse your chakra throughout the swamp water.......allowing you to either snuff out your enemy if he or she is hiding and cause a great deal of damage to your opponent. As for the sword.......that is where I draw a blank sensei." I conclude with my head hung low.

 

[Adachi]

"No worries," I responded. "There's a first for everything!"
Reaching out a hand, I let it run across the steel blade of the sword. "Observe the weapon," I told Elementalist. "If the ground was suddenly sinking beneath you, how would you use this creatively to fling yourself out of the sinking earth?"

 

[Elementalist]

Thinking harder I arrive at a final conclusion.
"Well it may be able to be used as a vaulting staff. You may be able to, if their is solid ground close enough, stab the sword into the ground and fling yourself to safety."

 

[Adachi]

"Perfect response," I replied. "But remember that you are sinking as well at the same time. What might the Lightning do to the Earth that allows you to escape?"

 

[Elementalist]

The lightning would be used to either snuff out the enemy lurking in the swamp or to do him or her damage. To the earth, if it was stable earth then it would churn up rocks and such than would be scattered into the swamp which provides me with ares on which I would be able to stand.

 

[Adachi]

I nodded. "Well put." Reaching into my pocket, I drew a medium sized Shuriken, juggling it deftly within my hands. "Now, what do you know of Shurikens and their effects when thrown at an opponent?"

(Chō Biburāto Raitontō) - Super Vibrating Lightning Release Sword
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A (+15 to kenjutsu and standard attacks)
Description: The user channels their lightning chakra into a blade, increasing its vibrating frequency and giving it more cutting power than standard wind techniques.

 

[Elementalist]

"Sometimes referred to as "Throwing stars" they have four points, handheld, and usually used for throwing, possibly stabbing or slashing. They have a large hole in the center. This allowed them to be tied to string which allowed the user to pull them back at any given moment after thrown. Naruto Uzumaki was able to transform his clone into a shuriken in order to get behind his enemy in the technique "Demon Wind Bomb"."

 

[Adachi]

"Alright, excellent," I responded, taking out two huge shurikens and handing it to Elementalist. "So proceed to take these Shurikens and toss them in such a way so that my clone is pinned against the three.
But before you throw them, charge them up with Raiton."
I created a single clone mid range from Elementalist.

 

[Elementalist]

Getting into a crouching stance, I focus my sights on the clone in front of me. Channeling my chakra throughout my body, through my arms, and expelling it out of my hands and into the shuriken, almost effortlessly, I vibrate the chakra until sparks dance from the two large shuriken and I whip them in the direction of the clone, both in a horizontal position. The first shuriken strikes directly in the chest sending it flying backward thumping loudly against the tree. The clone was then hit with the second shuriken, strikng it in its left thigh. That was when the lightning effect set in. As the clone was electrocuted it went up in a large cloud of smoke.

 

[Adachi]

Crossing my arms, I noted Elementalist's efforts with a wide grin and nod. "As expected, wonderfully executed as usual!" I walked over to the tree, picking up both shurikens with a single hand, glancing at them. "Now, you'll note that lightning is conducted through metal fairly well," I explained. "Let's say that you struck an actual opponent with these shurikens but kept channeling your Raiton chakra through the shurikens...what would be the effects of such an action?"
