OOC: please try not to copy from wiki, if you don't know anything then don't be afraid to ask, I expect you to use your own knowledge and if there's anything that needs to be added, I will do so.
Paying careful attention as his student spoke, Tobi took in all the information before speaking, "You still haven't told me your name. Anyway, that was okay but is seems you don't fully understand the element yet, I will explain further and you can ask any questions you may have once I'm done."
"It is true that Lightning is known for its piercing damage, fast movement and paralyzing capabilities but you should remember that this isn't easily achieved, in order for us to achieve this, we manipulate our chakra by increasing the high frequency vibrations of it to mimic the properties of Lightning. It is for these reasons that Lightning is considered the most difficuly element to control but also why it is the most destructive. There's something else I should point out, the reason the Lightning we produce from our body is slower than 'natural' Lightning is because we need to maintain a certain degree of control over it in order to utilize it whereas high level 'natural' Lightning attacks require much less control so they move a lot faster and cause more impact damage."
After explaining the basics of the element, Tobi took in a deep breath before continuing, "Okay so if you have any questions, now is the time to ask. Before we begin learning the jutsus, I'd like you to tell me what you know about Nature and Shape Manipulation."
