ok..., just to save time.., the first element i want to learn is lightning..., and as you will ask me what it is, i'll do it now...
lightning is one of the 5 basic elements, it is very powerful, but requires large amounts of chakra.
lightning chakra is generated by vibrating your chakra at a high velocity to generate electricity.
lightning chakra can be used in short range combat by channeling it through weapons, and through techniques such as raikiri.
it is also good in mid to long range in terms of more complicated techniques..
