[Training] With Riku Sensei.

[Ebi..]

Glad that you're enjoying the training then ^^.

*I watch silently as you attempt to move across the water, and suddenly you begin to sprint in a burst of motion and stop suddenly right in front of me, still standing on the water but only a meter away from where the trench ends I stand.*

Very nicely done. ^_^ And with that... we're moving on to the good stuff. Now... you already gave your answers to my questions about lightning...



Good explanations. Again, only a few slight things that I want to add.

Note that while lightning is good for paralyzing the opponent, it's offensive capabilities do not simply end there. As far as clearing long distances in a quick fashion, lightning release is almost always the way to go. Many lightning techniques can clear a very long distance within a matter of moments, making it a very good offensive element as it can often move a lot quicker than other techniques and can even augment the user's own speed. It's speed also makes it a good defensive element; a quick response is often optimal when making a defensive strategy, and lightning techniques can often provide that quick response. In addition, higher forms of the element can be used to completely obliterate forested or otherwise densely populated areas.

Any comments or questions on that?

No sir, I got your explanation, Ready to move on ^^

 

[Riku..]

No sir, I got your explanation, Ready to move on ^^

Right on. O_O Normally I would start by having you focus your lightning chakra into a kunai, but it seems that that's an actual technique now so we'll just get right into it, you've done enough exercises. From here on out, there will basically be two parts to the training. Actually learning the technique and then explaining to me its usefulness during battle. If you can't really think of anything, then simply say so and I'll explain to you its usefulness.

(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.

So, this technique is basically the essentials of lightning release. Focus your Raiton chakra and release it into the air around you. However, as you release it make it vibrate back and forth, creating enough vibrations to make actual electricity. Focus it in the form of small balls of chakra around you, and vibrate them.

Oh god why does this all have to sound so awkward. @_@

*I concentrate lightning chakra on my hands and begin to release it as I make it vibrate back and forth, I can see some little sparks. I try to increase the vibrations and focus my chakra into a more concentrated form, Small lightning bolts are released from my palms.*

This jutsu's uselfuness lies in being able to control Lightning chakra and giving it a form.

T_T You could at least hide the laughs. D:

*The lightning begins to move toward me, but suddenly they burst before they get near me.*

Be sure not to make the lightning vibrate too much or that will happen. Basically, you have to make sure that whatever shape you give to the technique, it maintains that shape or else the chakra will simply break loose and the jutsu will disperse. Give it a shape, make the lightning vibrate, and then let it go. But when you make it vibrate, make sure that the bolts can still keep that shape.

Alright, have a good night. And again, don't mention it man. xd

Oh I see, constant shape along with the vibrations.

Alright, try the technique again keeping that in mind. Vibrations and a constant shape at the same time.

Alright, Here we go again

*Thinking back to my mistakes, I try to concentrate my chakra on my hands once again, this time I focus on making a ball of lightning, I vibrate my chakra back in forth keeping a constant rythim, It begins to take shape, it feels light but I sense static from it, I throw it to Riku sensei*

How was that sensei?




Ps. I'm making some avatars, will put up a gfx shop later this afternoon, Do you want one sensei? they all free.

*Puffs out my chest and takes the shock like a man.*

~_~

Well done, had I been a normal person I may have felt a bit of static there.

Now, briefly give me a quick overview of situations where this technique may be useful in battle.

"A bit"

This technique can be used to stun or paralyze the enemy and inflict a bit of damage.

Good, but try to think a bit out of the box. This technique can be done rather quickly. Think about if you have an opponent charging at you for some close range combat. This technique can easily be used at a moments noticed to catch them by surprised. Make a few static bolts right in front of you near your legs where they may not notice since they're probably looking at your upper body, and you have yourself a makeshift trap. Let them come towards you, get paralyzed, and then do your stuff. Just an example. Don't forget that often times the lower rank techniques have plenty of uses because they're usually the easiest to perform. So if you don't have anything that you want to add to that, we're moving on.

(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.

So this is a fun one to use. I'm sure that you've seen the Sasuke vs Itachi fight? Remember when Sasuke used Chidori Nagashi to run it through the ground by any chance? This is the exact same thing but a weaker version. Focus lightning chakra in your palm, and then slam your hand on the ground. As you slam your hand on the ground, release the chakra through the ground and forward toward your opponent. The result should be a quick but not very far moving stream of lightning.

Oh and about the PS note, thanks for the offer. ^_^ I've been thinking of getting a new Riku avatar soon actually. If I come across a nice render for it I'll be sure to let you know.

No sir, and Thank you for the explanation, Ill try to keep that in mind.


*I focus Raiton chakra on my palms and try to gather as much as I can, I vibrate the chakra back and forth constantly and then I slam my hand hard on the ground, soon as my hand comes in contact with the ground I release the stored chakra and send it to you, I see a small lightning dashing towards you breaking the earth apart.*



Alright, I never knew a Riku character existed, I thought that was Sasuke in your avatar.

*You make sparks in the ground, but it doesn't form in a stream*

Simply a matter of not focusing enough chakra and not making it move far enough along the ground. Focus more chakra and make it extend out more. Try again.

And afterwards, give me an overview of the usefulness of this technique if you can.

And yeah, it is Sasuke in my avatar, Riku is the guy in my sig; he's from a video game lol.

*Once again I begin to gather raiton chakra, but this time I gather a higher amount than before, I make my chakra vibrate back and forth concentrating harder increasing the frequency, I slam my hand into the ground and releasing my chakra, focusing on creating a stream that reaches even further to where sensei is*



The usefulness of this jutsu is paralyzing the opponent and inflicting damage, it may be also used to break through low ranking earth techniques. It can also be used to put distance between you and the enemy.


Sorry for late reply was in a class without computers.
And Oh ok, I made a sasuke one and a nagato avatar for fun, if you want the Riku one just pm me the render or stock you would like, I have the Request form in my wallie and/or if you want to see the other avatars I have I can show them to you when i get home.

*A stream of lightning is created and before it manages to shock me, I perform a backflip, landing a distance away from you.*

Good job with the analysis. Once again, this can be done quite quickly. Say you're fighting an opponent in hand-to-hand combat. You can try ducking under one of his attacks and as you're doing that drop to the ground and release a surge of lightning at their feet, for example.

Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: The user hits the opponent with an electric field shield that covers the users body.

With this, focus your lightning chakra outwards all around your body. From there, create the lightning chakra the same way that you've already been doing but release it all around you as a field of lightning instead of a burst as you have been doing. Almost like making a fence of lightning around you.

Then give a brief explanation of how you would use this technique.

*I concentrate chakra then I manipulate it with the same characteristics I learned during my training. Now I release it bursting out to create a magnetic (electrical) field around me.

Thisattack can used at a short distance, it does not need handseals. its nice against taijutsu user even in contact opponent will be stun or paralyse an opponent and direct D-C rank doton attacks techniques can be avoided, but its range of attack is limited.

(Keep in mind that I always want you to describe the process that you use to perform the technique. Saying that you "manipulate it with the same characteristics I learned during my training" isn't really a proper description when it comes to performing a technique. You always have to describe focusing and releasing the chakra while making it vibrate and materialize, or something along those lines. Just a note. ^_^)

*The electrical field is successfully created.*

Nicely done, now the next technique is quite similar to that one but with an added bonus.

(Raiton: Sandaa Saaburu) - Lightning Style: Thunder Saber
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range:Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: Hits opponent with an electric field shield that explodes and can blow back the enemy.

Alright, the way that this technique is performed is the same, but this field is, instead of just being able to electrocute the enemy, is primed to have a small explosive effect that can blow back an enemy that touches it. Basically the way that this is done is after vibrating the electrical field, you want to make the lightning chakra vibrate even more than usual. Remember how before the lightning burst and lost its shape? Well you actually want that now. But you don't want it to just lose its shape at any time, you want it to be to a point where its vibrating so much that it's just on the border of bursting, but won't do so unless pushed over the edge by an outside force. A projectile, your opponent, anything.

Oh alright sensei, Ill keep that in mind ^^

*I concentrate lightning chakra on my body and begin to vibrate it back and forth, increasing the frequency with each second. I can see some little sparks emanating from my whole body. I keep increase the vibrations and focus my chakra into a more concentrated form, I radiate a magnetic(electric field) keeping its form constant, you throw a kunai at me and as it touches my electrical field it explodes sending the kunai flying back at you*

*I quickly take out another kunai and deflect the one flying at me.*

Good, but keep in mind that you can't depend on projectiles being blown back to your opponent with this technique. Most likely if a projectile hits this and bounces off in the explosion, it'll go off into the air or somewhere where it can't hit your opponent, so you can only really say that you use this technique to send a projectile back at your opponent when there are a lot of projectiles being sent toward you.

Somewhat of a more direct version of the lightning release technique. Do what you've been doing to create the lightning, and then send them forth at your opponent. Send them to that tree over there. Release the lightning from your palms, and then let them go out to the tree.

(Raiton: Jibashi) - Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30 (+5 if used in conjunction with a water jutsu)
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.

From herein, you'll need more chakra than you've been using so far, so really concentrate on each technique. Similarly to the last technique that you just did, focus lightning chakra in your palm and release it outwards in a stream of lightning instead of several lightning bolts. That stream should travel outward from you palm. The stream should be enough to hurt your opponent on your own, but be sure not to make it to condensed because the real ability of this jutsu is that it's one of the easiest techniques for a water technique to conduct. Keep in mind that not every lightning technique will be conducted by water easily, some are far too direct and concise. This however does so fluently.
