Raikou stands in the middle of his usual training field. He holds a bag in his left hand as he pulls out a scroll with his right. He pulls the scroll down and begins to read it. The new jutsu he would learn is called Hirameki no Jutsu. A giant lightning flash would come from his eyes, disorienting his enemies.

Raikou reads the scroll up and down a number of times. He reads it until he can say the exact words on the scroll by memory. Having it completely committed to memory he begins to take his stance. Raikou looks deep into the clouds above him, they seem sad but yet excited about Raikou's new move. He takes a deep breath and begins to summon his chakra.

Raikou summons his chakra to his eyes. Immediately they begin to burn and hurt. Never before has Raikou gathered his chakra in his own eyes. It was a much more sensitive area then a normal body part. His eyes begins to tear and it seems as Raikou is crying. He wipes away the tears and begins to gather his chakra again.

This time Raikou gathers it much more slowly, and with his eyes close. He focuses it in the middle of his pupil, and slowly spreads it all over. He then opens his eyes, hoping for a large light to flow out. Sadly none does no come out, he notices however in the reflection of a lake nearby his eyes do glow.

Raikou begins to summon his chakra once again. Gathering the chakra to his eyes he begins to change it to electrical energy. It pains him to a great amount, but he pushes on. He opens his eyes and throws out a large amount of electrical chakra through his eyes. It creates a small flash but Raikou falls to the ground in pain.

It seems he must balance the power put into the jutsu. He cannot make it do damage to his own eyes, its meant to blind the opponent, not hurt them. He sits on the ground as he lets his eyes rest. He wipes away the tears and stand erect once more. He holds his fist to the air and makes an oath with the sky, swearing to learn this jutsu.

Raikou stands up and looks at a lake near by. He studies his reflection carefully. He smiles and thinks about what exactly he needs to accomplish in this jutsu. He need to create an electrical flash out of his eyes, that can blind his enemies. He decides he would use slightly less chakra and more electrical type chakra.

He makes the appropriate hand sign and closes his eyes. Raikou gathers the chakra in his eyes in an instant. He Slowly changes the chakra into electricity. He opens his eyes and lets the electrical energy escape. It creates a small flash that made the forest shine, but definitely not enough to blind someone.

He looks down and rubs his eyes. His face seemed to be going numb from all the electricity running through it. Raikou thinks to himself what exactly he is doing wrong completing the jutsu. He needs more of an explosion, more of a sudden surge of energy. Instead of a steady flow he needs a sudden explosion of chakra from his eyes.

Raikou stands and takes a long deep breath. He makes the appropriate hand sign and begins to channel his chakra. Summoning it to his eyes he begins to to charge it to electricity. The entire process takes only seconds. He then suddenly put a tremendous amount of chakra out of his eyes. Opening them a huge flash comes out.

The flash was definitely enough to blind someone. It was his first success. He took another seep breath and attempted it again. Speed was his main objective this time. He once again created a large electrical flash out of his eyes, however much quicker this time. He repeated the process and finally mastered the jutsu.

Raikou laid down and closed his eyes. He smiled with pride and accomplish. He had completed the jutsu and was one step closer to become the ninja he wanted to be. Raikou was getting stronger and stronger by the day.

Limit: Wind Release

Raikou Woke up early in the morning. Trainin time. Raikou got up, and went to take a shower. He relaxed and let the warm water soak on himself for about 10 minutes. Raikou came out, and dried himself off, and got dressed. Same old white outfit, with the long sleeves, cargo shorts and the goofy white Top Hat he wears. Raikou prepared breakfast. Eggs toast and bacon. Delicious. Raikou finished up eating and put his head protector on around his neck as per usual. Raikou grabbed his pouch, and tied it t the back of his belt, with Kunai, Shuriken, Tags and Wire inside. Raikou grabbed his Sunglasses, and put them on. He would make leave to the lake.

Raikou left his house, slowly walking towards the lake as per usual. The town with ravenous with energy as always. But he ignored and continue'd on to the gate of town. Raikou finally made it there, he waved to the guards at the gate and continue'ed south bound, getting ever closer to the lake.

Raikou had finally arrived at the lake a few minute later. Raikou had set his things down (a backpack) and began to think, like he always does."How will I go about teaching myself this new Jutsu?" Raikou pulled out a scroll with some instructions on how to perform the new jutsu. Seemed pretty simple, but so did everything, and it wasn't.

Raikou formed his wind chakra, and took a deep breath. He aimed for the water at his feet. He exhaled "Kaze Ya no Jutsu!" Raikou spit out some air and it seemed to do a little number to the water. A hole forms in the water and it ripples around the entry point. Not too bad for the first try. Raikou tried again, same effect.
Raikou kept doing this process for about an hour before he was almost completely out of breath, and decided to take a break.

Raikou assess'ed the situation, as always, and began to ponder what should be the next step. Raikou comes up with a plan after about a half hour of thinking and resting. He will have to mold the chakra more perfectly, or so he thinks, atleast. Raikou Molds the chakra, much more fine tuned this time, like the shape of an arrow.
He inhales, and then he exhales, "Kaze Ya no Jutsu!"

This time the wind arrow shot out does damage. A clear cut, and a small entry point hole where the arrow had hit, it was pretty deep at that too. Raikou continue'd this process for a couple of hours. Inhaling, Exhaling, repeating until he felt pretty confident that was doing a good job. Lunch time rolled around, and Raikou was beat, and tired, he also felt out of breath.

"Time to take a break, relax for a bit and eat."
Raikou thought to himself, headed back to his things to set up a fire and relax.

Lunch time ended. Time to get back to buisness. Raikou stood up and stretched a little bit. "I got this, I can do it, just a little further, cmon Raikou." He said to himself confidently. Raikou walked back over to the lake. He taught he'ed try a couple more times, even though Raikou was pretty good with it, he wanted to make sure he had it done, and done right.

Raikou took a deep breath and exhale'd. This jutsu did a number on his lungs when used repeatedly, for sure. Raikou Inhaled, focused his chakra in his mouth into a long cylinder shape, with a pointy head, and exhaled. "Kaze Ya no Jutsu!" Raikou shot out a wind arrow right into the water. A small, very deep hole formed this time around and the wind arrow deffently penatrated well. Raikou was pleased, but decided to take it to the next level.

Raikou wander'ed to the other side of the lake. He found a couple trees. This was perfect, Raikou would practice the jutsu on some trees. Raikou gathered chakra in his mouth again and formed it the same way this time. "Kaze Ya no Jutsu!" The wind arrow shot at the tree and did a number to it for sure. The wind arrow left a clean cut hole, right through the entire trunk. Granted, the trunk wasn't very thick, still, pretty impresive and forcful for an arrow. Raikou seemed pleased after he repeated the process for an hour after that.

Raikou was out of breath after a hour of repeated wind arrows, and he seemed to be out of trees too. Most of them had about 2 to 3 holes in them from wind arrows. Raikou headed back to his little make shirt camp area, and sat down to take a breather.

Description: The user quickly gathers a small amount of chakra to there hand and pushes it outward with there palm as a small funnel/gust of air blows out with enough force to push the opponent back or off balance.
Limit: Must have Wind Release.

Raikou had arrived back at the lake where he had prviously trained, for like, ever. Raikou sat down and un pakced his things, and pulled out a scroll. Kazzepusshu. Hmm. Looks simple enough, kinda. Raikou did a half assed job of setting up camp at the shore line fo the lake as he usually did. Raikou was pumped he just wanted to learn this interesting new jutsu he had just recently picked up. The time where he and his comrades had to run from the Kayuga girl anger'ed him as he thought about it constantly ever since the encounter.

"Let her find me when I am on the same level as her, and then we'll see who wins" Raikou didn't take well to losing at all. This drove him to learn new techniques that could help him out in the long run. The Chuunin exam weren't very fair behind ether. It was time. With that being said Raikou stepped out in to the calm water of the lake.

Raikou's first objective was too do the jutsu itself. Then against targets, and go from there. The good thing about this jutsu, is no handseals where needed for this jutsu to be completeed, just chakra control, something Raikou had a nack for. Raikou concentrated his chakra in to the very palm of his hand, and began to try to turn it into wind. Raikou knew a similar technique to this one, where he would form a wind arrow in the mouth, and fire it at his opponent. This was very similar yet different. The chakra would be formed in his palm, and then thrusted forward with his palm. The wind arrow technique just formed the chakra in his mouth, and then then exhaling would do the work. Now he had to thrust his palm forward. this would be tricky, be relatively simple task.

Raikou focused hard now, channling chakra into his plam, and elementally transforming it into wind, not much, but it would seem to do the trick. Holding this wind force, he thrusted forward. A gust of wind seemed to have launch forward, although very minor, it was a start. Raikou had an unlifted new sense of re-assurance. Raikou did this process again and again for over an hour until he body started to feel the effects gradually. Raikou decided that he was making great progress with this new technique he was teching himself, and went over to his little camp area for a breather. He sat down and cooked up some Rice. Yum, Raikou's favorite, of course with a glass of water, freash lake water, very tasty. Raikou finished his meal not too long after that, and was ready to go again.

Raikou went back out into the lake area and started to hop around a little bit. He was getting ready to start practicing again. Raikou stepped back out into the water and began molding chakra into his hands. He molded it into the palm area, densely this time and thrusted forwards. Success. The Gust of air was amazing. Raikou was thoroughly impressed with himself at this point. So, guess what time it was? thats right, target practice. Raikou Decided to make a water clone and try to hit him.

Water clone jutsu! A water clone popped up out of the water, and nodded. The water clone began to run around, aimlessly, but still dodging. Raikou focused chakra into his palms, and thrusted, almost instantaneously. The air gust hit his clone with ease. Raikou saw its cheeks begin to flutter, and then just as quickly as it was formed, the water clone fell apart into water ocne more.

Raikou decided to up the anty, so to speak. Raikou created 3 water clones this time. It was go time. "LETS ROCK BOYS!" Raikou shouted out to his water clones, which then began to run in all sorts of different directions. Raikou focused on the one all the way to the far right. Focused chakra, thrusted. The gust of air barely hit the target, because Raikou had done it so fast, but it fell over and became water once more. Raikou then looked around for another one. He spotted the one that was to the far left. Focused chakra and thrusted, hard. Direct hit. The clone didn't have time to become water, it almsot seemed to evaporate mid air. At any rate, it was gone. Now for the last water clone. Raikou looked around but saw nothing. He was confused.

"I could swear I only got two, right?" Raikou turned around 180%. His suspicions were confirmed. The other clone tried to hid behind him. Raikou focused his chakra one last time in his right hand, and thrusted, hard this time also. Direct hit again. The clone dispersed into water once more. Raikou repeated this process for about an hour longer.

Raikou seemed pleased with his progress and how much effort he had put into practicing. He decided that was it, He seemed to have the knack for this technique. He walked back to the shore line and packed his things.

[/quote]

Another day, another scroll to learn from, another annoying jutsu, that would hopefully help him in the long run. Raikou Had packed his things fater breakfast and tied his head protector to his neck area, and headed off. Raikou oddly enough, had left his goofy Top Hat and sunglasses home today. The sun's glare was brutal. It didn't help that it was a beautiful day out, aside from the ever hovering clouds that never seemed to leave the cloud village.

Raikou set off towards his usual training spot. Thats right, the lake. It took Raikou awhiel to get to his usual spot right outide of town. He waved to some friends he saw on the way there, until Raikou finally arrived at the lake. Raikou set his things down and set up camp by the little tree by the shore line, as per usual.

Raikou puled out a scroll he had brought with him on this no jutsu he was going to learn. He sat and studied the scroll for what seemed like 5 minutes, but was really more like 30 seconds. "Well, I can honestly say this technique looks a little difficult for once, Hah!" Raikou said laughing at himself. He walways thought everything was easy. Not this time though. What Raikou had to do was concentrate chakra into his lungs, and multiply the sir molecules and Exhale with force. This SHOULD make a great gust of wind that would knock down anything in its path.

Raikou though to try this out, but first, exercises. He waould take in deep breaths, one after another. Nothing more or less, just heavy deep breathing, to strech his lungs and mouth out for this new technique. This technique almost reminded Raikou of the Wind arrow technique in a way. Raikou would mold wind based chakra with his tongue to form a long pointy shaft, and exhale to fire it out of his mouth.

Raikou began to breath normally again. Raikou started to hop around anxiously, as if he was waiting for someone to give him the word to do the jutsu. Raikou had no idea why he was so fired up. But he stopped almost out of nowhere and exhaled greatly. He inhaled as he started trying to form chakra in his lungs. Raikou felt his lungs expand alot, and his whole mouth also filled with air. Raikou put his hand in front of his mouth (as explained to do so on the scroll), And exhaled!

The air was almost forced out of his mouth, but didn't work nearly as well as he thought it would. The air burst was pretty intense, but still not really all it was cracked up to be. The shockwave of wind was impressive to Raikou, but he ahd expected something a little more perhaps. Raikou thought to try again, and see his results. Raikou Inahled deeply, formed chakra in his lungs, he put his hands on front of his mouth, and exhaled! A gust of wind, reletively the same size as the last gust that exited his mouth. Raikou repeated this process, analyizing his movements and the force of the gust. The force ways always reletively small. But Raikou was confident that if he worked on it, the blast would be alot more forceful.

Raikou began to inhale again, he put his hands over his mouth and exhaled. The blast of wind was still pretty minor, but it was starting to work better this time around. Raikou was working hard on completeing this justu, but it was pretty hard to mold chakra in your lungs. Well, for Raikou it was anyway. Raikou repeated the process of the justu multiple times over and over again. Eventually Raikou was doing a little better, and decided that he would start the next phase of his training.

Raikou made a water clone. Just one, and it began to run around the lake aimlessly but quickly. Raikou inhaled, molded chakra, put his hands in front of his mouth, took aim, and exhaled. "Great Breakthrough!" He caught the water clone with a direct hit. *SPLASH* the water hit back down into the lake. Raikou felt confident but repeated this process for about an hour, water clone after water clone, all direct hits. The clones couldn't shake the jutsu.

Raikou was very confident at this point. He decided to up the anty, so to speak. Raikou made 2 water clones this time. They began to run around aimlessly, yet quick as always. Raikou took aim at one of them. Inhaled, formed chakra, put his hands to his mouth, and exhaled. A Miss. Raikou tried again, exhaled. close hit.
[/size]

[Raikou!]

The reason Raikou was missing was because he was speeding up to process. He was inhaling, forming chakra, and exhaling after putting his hands to his mouth very fast now. Simply because he now had two targets. Raikou Did it again, inhaled, formed chakra, put hands over mouth, exhaled. Direct hit this time.

Raikou decided to take a breather and analyze his mistakes. Raikou knew what he was doing wrong. He was rushing the jutsu. He knew as well as any other shinobi, that speed could turn the tide of any fight, and thats why he almost seemed to panice with multiple enemies. Raikou was trying to get one too fast, so he could focus on the other one right after. Which is good, but Raikou was blind firing. He would simply do the jutsu, and shoot it off without proper aim.

The justu was still effective if it didn't directly hit them, because it was so powerful, but a direct hit would be best case senario. Raikou felt relieved and his lungs rested. Raikou had figured out what he needed to do now, and was ready for more. "Water Clone Jutsu!"

Raikou made 2 water clones this time. They began to run around aimlessly, yet quick as always. Raikou took aim at one of them. Inhaled, formed chakra, put his hands to his mouth, and exhaled.
He took his time Aiming this one, and made sure to hit his mark, not paying much attention to his other clone. Direct Hit. Raikou now turned to his other clone. He repeated the process, another direct hit. Raikou was feeling good suddenly about this jutsu, he felt he could get it now!

After repeating the jutsu against his clones for about another hour, Raikou felt it was time to once again, take this jutsu to the next level. Raikou had the basic mechanic of this jutsu down pretty well, but still didn't have it completed yet. Raikou took a moment to finalize the jutsu part before continuing any further in combat training. This was important because If Raikou keep practicing a jutsu he hadnt' fully taught himself, when he would use it in combat, he wouldn't be using it to its full potential, and it might have side effects that would catch him off guard in the middle of battle.

Raikou took the scroll out of his back pouch and began to read to see if he had made any mistakes. Oddly enough he had, kinda. Raikou wasn't packing the chakra he formed in his lungs well enough. Raikou needed the chakra to be dense enough to level things in the jutsu's wake. Raikou decided to try this out and see how well it worked.

Raikou made yet another water clone in front of him. He inhaled and formed chakra his chakra. At this point his focused his chakra as best he could, as he began to but his hands over his mouth. Raikou with great force exhaled. The force of the wind obliterated his water clone straight back into water, and blew the water backwards. "Amazing..." Said Raikou in awe of his own ability. Raikou's clone got level'ed in an instant.

Raikou was very excited now, which was rare of Raikou. Raikou decided it was time to Dance, once again. He had a thing for dancing, which is tha word he oddly enough used for fighting. Raikou made three water clones this time, which was his current limit. Raikou smirked as the three water clones began to run around, in different patterns and directions. This was a challenge, for sure. Raikou took aim, molded dense chakra in his lungs, lifted his hands, and exhaled. Raikou didn't get a direct hit, but the water clone still got annihilated. Raikou was pleased as he jumped backwards and did a 180% turn mid air. His blood was pumping, he loved this new jutsu. Raikou Took aim, inhaled formed chakra put his hands in front os his face, and exhaled greatly. Another water clone obliterated. Raikou was still jumping around still. Now he did a front flip (which of course was completely not needed whatsoever) and began to inhale and form chakra in his lungs. Raikou finished the flip, and took aim again and exhaled. Direct hit. The water clone had no chance. Raikou landed the flip in some mediocre pose.

" WHOOOOOOO! Now THATS how you dance! Haha!" Raikou screamed excitedly. This was extremely odd, even for Raikou. He was usually very lazy, but when he was pushed and driven, he got things done. Raikou was extremely embarrassed of how retarded he had just made himself look, even though there was no one in sight. Raikou quickly recovered and stood up straight, and put on a serious face.

Raikou's blood was pumping pretty seriously. Raikou decided to keep at it for as long as he could. He was so pleased wiht himself that he didn't stop practicing for another hour at the least. He keep repeating the same process. Inhaling, Forming dense lung chakra, Hand over mout, exhaling, Boom. Water clone after water clone got destroyed one after another until Raikou had made himself so tired that he forced himself to take a break at his shoreline camp. Raikou would meditate and eat (yum) on what he had learn from this training session.

[Raikou!]

20.30

Raikou's belly was full of delicious food and rice. He would relax for a few minutes and meditate on what he had learned from this training session thus far. "How could i further imrpove this jutsu?" He thought to himself. "Could it really be so simple? I suppose so" Raikou spoke to himself. Raikou had thought of a way to better his training.

Raikou had an Idea. He always had his water clones run around like a bunch of confused idiots. But now, It was gunna get serious. Raikou would make three water clones and have them atack him, full force. He would only have them used thier fists, as his sword would be to deadly, and he could probably really kill himself (oddly enough).

Raikou made his water clones. "Water clone jutsu!" three water clones sprang up from the lake and assumed an aggressive position. And all at once the three water clones launched themselfs at Raikou, from different directions. Raikou made quick work of the first water clone. Inhaled, formed chakra in the lungs densely, put his hands over his mouth, and exhaled. The first Water clone got annihilated with ease. Raikou was given no chance to bask in his glory, Another water clone was right behind him.

The clone throws a punch. Raikou quickly dodges right on time, and jumps back to the right, up into the air. Unfortunately for Raikou, the other water clone saw it and jumped up after him. Raikou inhales a deep breath and exhales, "Great Breakthrough!" the water clone jumped up after him gets destroyed. Two down, one to go.

Raikou didn't have time to look for the other clone, because as he looked up, a fist was in Raikou's face, he got hammered by his clone. Raikou slid across the water, quickly recovering from the punch, inhaling, and exhaling, color=Green] "Great Breakthrough!" [/color] Raikou scores a direct hit as he aimed for the water clone as it tried to dodge. "Water Clone Jutsu!" Raikou quickly made three clones again. He wasted no time in making more clones and, as Raikou would put it, "Getting right back on the horse."

Raikou jumped forward, and made the offensive this time around. Raikou inhaled formed chakra put his hands over his mouth and exhaled. He missed this time though, which was surprising. Again, inhaled, formed chakra, exhaled. He grazed his target this time, but got it. The force of the wind was so powerful that even though it only simply grazed its target, it still destroyed the clone. Raikou jumped back, and did a backflip.

Raikou inhaled formed chakra and exhaled to annihilate another clone who start he would get the drop of on Raikou, waiting at where he would land. Raikou run forward towards the last clone, as he does so inhaling and molding chakra in his lungs densely. Raikou dodges a kick from the clone, and get close range, bringing his mouth as close as he can to the clone. Raikou Exhales as he does the jutsu. Water seemed to go everywhere as the clone seemed to have explode.

Raikou forms handseals and make yet another 3 water clones. Raikou was determined to do this until he felt he was ready to use this in the field. The water clones all rush Raikou from different angles, and at the same time. Raikou panics, and does the only thing he can do, he inhales forms chakra and exhales at one of the water clones. It gets a nice grazing and disperses into water again. One swings, Raikou manages to duck, only to get a nice foot to the face from the other.

Raikou is flown backwards skidding across the water as the water clones charge Raikou. Raikou recovers as quickly as possible, and imediately inhales. Raikou forms chakra and exhales. Raikou has gotten a good eye for the aim of this jutsu by now, and manages to position it in the middle point of the two water clones, he gets both, one shot.

Once more, Raikou makes 3 water clones. "Water Clone Jutsu!" Raikou amkes the water clones, and they immediately charge him. Raikou takes a step backwards and inhales, forming chakra in to his lungs and air. Raikou exhales as a water clone tries to get a side attack. Nice dice for the clone. The water clone gets obliterated. Raikou ducks, noticing the shadow of his water clone behind him on the other side.

As he ducks, he is already inhaling and forming chakra in his lungs. The reason was simple, there was another clone in front of him, attacking the same direction of the previously destroyed water clone. Raikou exhales as he leaps forward into the water clone almost. The gust blows away the water that was once a clone. Raikou rolls forward and turns around immediately afterwards to face his other clone. He catches a direct hit, and destroys the last clone.

Raikou decides that he needs to take a break since he is out of breath again almost completely. He finds his spot back on the shore where he will sit and relax for about a half hour and assess what he has just learned Sitting next to the lake and a camp fire enjoying the sounds of the crackling fire and the birds. He hadn't even realized that it was almost nightfall already, and that his face really hurt. He took a kick and a punch to the face, ouchies.

Raikou was relaxed by the sounds of the fire and sounds of the bugs. He woke up the next morning . "Crap, I fell asleep again." said Raikou as he awoke to the sounds of the birds chirping. Raikou stayed laid down on the ground for awhile. He was relaxed. The atmosphere was excellent for relaxing, and thats exactly what Raikou did. Raikou always remembered the words of his Senpai in the academy "Fifty percent of training, is mental, Raikou"

But relaxing time wasn't going to help him conquer this justu. Raikou got up and stretched out before starting up again. Maybe he would have some breakfast first though. Raikou cooked up some breakfast and ate quickly before training, he washed it down with some water. Raikou wanted to wamr up. He started to whack out push ups. Raikou was getting ready to practice, he was getting ready. His jaw still hurt from the kick and punch from his clones yesterday.

Raikou started breathing heavy to train and work out his lungs. If he didn't do this and tried to do this heavy air based jutsu, his lungs could pop. He was breathing in and out, over and over again. His lungs started to feel alot better. Raikou walked out into the lake. It was time for training, Raikou could feel it, he would be where he wanted to with this jutsu soon and could stop training it.

Raikou forms handseals and make three water clones. Raikou was determined to do this until he felt he was ready to use this in the field. The water clones all rush Raikou from different angles, and at the same time. Raikou inhales and forms chakra and exhales at one of the water clones. It gets a nice grazing and disperses into water again. One swings, Raikou manages to duck, He jumps up as he inhales and forms chakra in his lungs. He exhales and catches both Clones with this one, the gust of wind pushes the water right back into the lake. The lake seemed to swallow the clones whole.

Raikou, one last time Makes three water clones. He inhales his air, molds some serious dense chakra on his lungs He exhales, as the water clones begin to rush him. He manages to aim the technique perfectly. As he exhales, he jumps back and catches all three water clones in one use. The force who so strong Raikou himself got flung backwards, allowing him to do a backflip and land with success on the lake.

Raikou had hit all three clones wiht one shot. That was it. He knew he was done. He had managed to do the jutsu so well that could angle it to hit all three water clones. It was truly amazing. Raikou was finally pleased with himself, and walked back to the shore line where he would begin to break his campsite down and pack up as he bgrabs his things he left the lakeside.

Raikou had arroved back at the lake, as always. He had trained for just about everyhthing at this spot. He didn't really know why, probably because it was relaxing, but more so because of the large abundance of water, which was good for his water jutsu's. Raikou set up camp where he always did, by the tree on the shore of the lake about three meters from the left of the mountain wall. Raikou unpacked his things and took a deep breath, and stepped out onto the lake water, scroll in hand.

Raikou felt the cool mountain draft against his face as he pulled the scroll open. Another wind technique. Raikou read the description of technique closely. "Hmm....Gathers chakra into finger tips while forming handseals. Snake, Boar, Horse..." Raikou read to himself.

It was time. Raikou began to gather chakra into his fingertips as he form handseals. Snake, Boar, Horse. He blew on his finger tips. Nothing. He blew again, harder. Nothing. "ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING ME?!?" Raikou was angry beyond belief. His anger issues got to him, as they do from time to time. Raikou tried to calm down, taking deep breaths.

Raikou clenchted his fists. "I'll just to try again, harder this time." Raikou thought to himself trying to be reassuring. Raikou gathered chakra back into his finger tips formed hand seals. Snake, Boar, Horse. He blew on his finger tips again. A small gust of wind seemed to rush across the lake top, moving the water and sending small ripples across the lake. This would need some time and practice.

Raikou tried again. He gathered chakra back into his finger tips formed hand seals. Snake, Boar, Horse. He blew on his finger tips again. A larger size wave of air flew across the lake top. The ripples were more nocticible. Raikou was gradually making progress. He began to once again, contemplate what to do next. "Well, I really can't say I know what to do this time around" Raikou thought to himself.

After contimplating what to do next, and not really coming up with anything, Raikou decided to stop wasting time and try again, and do some more analyzing. He gathered chakra back into his finger tips formed hand seals. Snake, Boar, Horse. He blew on his finger tips again. No change from the previous time. Large, but Raikou was pretty sure that it wouldn't trip someone.

Again Raikou tried, focusing more chakra into his finger tips making it dense. He gathered chakra back into his finger tips formed hand seals. Snake, Boar, Horse. He blew on his finger tips again. The blast was intense this time around from the denser chakra. the wind blast flew across the lake and actually pulled up some water into it. Raikou smirked.

Raikou practiced the jutsu some more, just to be sure he could do it. He gathered chakra back into his finger tips formed hand seals. Snake, Boar, Horse. He blew on his finger tips again. Same effect as last time. Raikou repeated this process for about an hour. He gathered chakra back into his finger tips formed hand seals. Snake, Boar, Horse. He blew on his finger tips again. Same effect.

Raikou, after about an Hour of practicing the same jutsu over and over again, Raikou decided to see how well it could really trip someone. As always, Raikou made a water clone. The water clone would stand still and wait for the blast of wind. He gathered chakra back into his finger tips formed hand seals. Snake, Boar, Horse. He blew on his finger tips again. The balst of wind was fierce, as the Clone ran forward to meet to gust of wind, it was easily tripped, and fell flat on its face. The clone dispelled into water once more.

Raikou smirked in relief and was very happy with his performance in the jutsu. Raikou walked back over to camp, where he would eat, he was hungry. Raikou ate some rice and sat next to his fire, while listening to to birds chirp, relaxing himself after a hard day of training.

It was morning, Raikou woke up from his sleep. " I friggin fell asleep again....." Raikou was disappointed in himself. But decided not to waste time, and get the day started. He was going to be in the thunder dome today, and he had to finish this technique or not use it in the thunder dome.

Raikou stood out in the middle of the lake. Raikou made a water clone. The water clone would stand still and wait for the blast of wind. He gathered chakra back into his finger tips formed hand seals. Snake, Boar, Horse. He blew on his finger tips again. The balst of wind was fierce, as the Clone ran forward to meet to gust of wind, it was easily tripped, and fell flat on its face. The clone dispelled into water once more.

Raikou was pleased, this time he made two water clones. Raikou gathered chakra and formed handseals and held horse. He blew on his fingers as the water clones charged him. One was tripped one managed to jump over it. Raikou quickly jumped back and did the jutsu again. this time he managed a clean hit.

The clone became water again and splashed along the lake. Raikou reapeated this for about an hour before he finally decided it was time. He was finished, and had to go to the thunder dome. Raikou packed his things at the shore line and left.

Tesaki no Kumo
Rank: E
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows one to perform the special handseals used for the Hinoko no Yubi and things following it.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The Tesaki no Kumo are a series of handseals, develloped to let one perform seals for a row of techniques. These seals are only done with the fingers of one hand so that the other can keep the lightning current on their other finger. The seals exist of a number for every finger, and thus one needs to put the needed fingers up while keeping the others down.
1 ~ Thumb
2 ~ Index Finger
3 ~ Middle Finger
4 ~ Ring Finger
5 ~ Pink
Limit: Hidden village of the Cloud only.

Raikou had tried to pull yet another scroll from his bag of things to learn. This time, however Raikou pulled a couple scrolls out, connected. "Why are these scrolls connected?" Raikou thought to himself. There was probably a very good reason, but Raikou had forgotten. Raikou decided the best thing to do was pull open the first scroll, and see what was inside.

The scroll read off how to complete handseals on one hand for a certain chain of technique's . Raikou was excited and wanted to know what the techniques were, he hoped they were kool. Frst off, he had to know how to hold his hand. There was a sort of puzzle to this hand trick. Numbers corresponding to finger on his one hand, so he could channel chakra to his other fingers.

Raikou read the numbers and which finger they corresponded with. 1 thumb, 2 index finger, 3 middle finger, 4 ring finger, 5 pinky. Didn't seem to hard, but he was probably wrong, as he always is about these things.


Well, Raikou decided to hold one of fingers up while channeling lightning chakra into his other hand. Raikou held 1 on his left hand and channeled chakra into his right hand. Raikou Focused hard on the chakra flow. It was much more difficult then it seemed. Raikou eventually got lightning chakra focused into his hand, success.

All Raikou had to do now was memorize what number was what finger. Raikou read over the scroll over and over again. Raikou continued to read the scroll, even as he reached into his pouch and began to pull out and open the next scroll in the chain of techniques to come. Raikou felt confident he had the seals down and memorized, time to move on.

Raikou keep making hand seals. Only now he was holding up different fingers as he would charge chakra into his other hand. Raikou now decided to hold up his middle finger and index finger together. He charged chakra in to his right hand. He was successful.

Raikou tried again and again. This time, He would use his ring, middle, and index finger and charge lightning chakra into his right hand. Raikou focused hard as he channeled chakra into his hand. Success again. Raikou decided to try again.

Raikou focused chakra into his right hand once more. This time, Raikou held 2345 (index, middle, ring and pinky). This time it was a little harder to focus chakra into his right hand. Raikou though this might e because he was holding so many fingers up wiht his left hand seals.

Raikou finally got the other scroll out of his pouch and decided to open it up to see what he was in store for with the next technique.

Suiton: Usagi Kyuuzou no Jutsu (Water Style: Hare Explosion Technique)
Rank: D Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a small hare (rabbit) of water, which will cause a very small explosion on contact. The water will burst with the force of a five foot wave at around ten miles per hour.
Special: Hare
Drawback: ---
Description: ---
Limit: Must know Suiton no Jutsu (Water Release). Must have a water source.

Raikou approached the river that ran through the village, prepared to begin some training. After hearing of a jutsu involving creating a rabbit made of water as an offensive technique from his mothis, He decided to try the jutsu out for himself. He currently had neithis offensive nor defensive release techniques at his disposal and He needed to focus on gathising more techniques before He went on a mission in which they might be needed.

Sitting down beside of the river, Raikou cupped some water into his hands and concentrated his chakra into it. The water slowly started to rotate in his palm, and Raikou kept feeding chakra into the water. The chakra induced water formed a small ball, but it suddenly burst with a splash into his face.

Wiping the water from his face Raikou came to the conclusion that He was using too much chakra with such a small amount of water. He cupped a larger amount of water into his hands this time, almost overflowing. Raikou then released the same amount of chakra as the previous attempt, but with more water this time the chances of it bursting would decrease. But, this time the water would not mold into the simple ball He wanted. He needed to get an idea of the amount of chakra needed to equal the amount of water. The solution to this problem quickly hit Raikou like a punch in the face.

Again, He cupped water in his hands and focused an equal amount of chakra into the water. He formed the ball of water again, and kept it in his left hand. In its current form the ball was too small to form the rabbit needed. He cupped more water from the river with his right hand and added it to the ball while releasing an equal amount of chakra. Eventually the ball got to a reasonable size and Raikou was ready to actually attempt the jutsu, as He released the ball.

Performing the hare handseal, Raikou concentrated his chakra into the river and pulled out an equal amount of water as to what He had before. He brought the ball of water out of the river and began to mold the chakra inside of it. Raikou started by forming what appeared to be two legs and two arms.

Slowly the entire rabbit started to come into shape. When Raikou was finiHed molding the chakra into place He had formed a stationary rabbit made from water. He slowly observed his creation in order to memorize the formation. Raikou broke the seal and the rabbit was splaHed back into normal water.

Raikou performed the hare handseal again, and instead of bringing out the ball of water and then forming it into a rabbit; He used his knowledge of the rabbit’s shape to have the form come out of the water from the beginning. He then moved the chakra in the rabbit’s form to make it appear to hop forward. He attempted this feat by quickly releasing and adding chakra to the water rabbit. After it had reached a few feet Raikou fully released the chakra in all directions out of the rabbit, which He hoped would cause an explosive splash of water.

The rabbit hopped a few steps forwards and melted away before Raikou could try and have it explode. He sighed and performed the hare handseal again anf focused his chakra in the river. Anothis rabbit made of water popped out, and went back to being stationary. Raikou had decided that it would be best to focus on the explosion first, and working on the rabbit's movement last as it seemed to be the most difficult. Concentrating his chakra, Raikou expelled all the chakra the same moment, but it just melted away again.

Raikou performed the proper handseal again, and anothis water rabbit came out from the river and remained station. Looking carefully into the rabbit He noticed that the chakra was distrubited out evenly among the rabbit even in the smallest places. So, expelling the chakra out all at once would just cause it to melt away. So, this time He released the chakra from the rabbit starting from the bottom and it instantly worked itself up, causing a splashing explosion. He only needed the final spet of the jutsu to finsih.

He first attempted to evenly release chakra from its feet, but this caused it to melt away. Raikou's next attempt involved his releasing larger amounts of chakra into the feet of the rabbit, but that only made it melt faster. Both the chakra and the water flowed in what appeared to be circular formations throughout the rabbit, but at different speeds. So, for anothis attempt Raikou focused the chakra of the rabbit not in a manner that released it, but instead He sped up the chakra flow around the feet. The rabbit was able to get farthis than any of the previous attempts and possibly be get to a desired distance to explode.

Hinoko no Yubi
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Lets a small ball of lightning be formed on ones finger.
Special: 12, 25, 345
Drawback: ---
Description: Hinoko no Yubi is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Lightning Element. The shinobi simply snaps their fingers and a small ball of lightning is formed of the index finger of the hand that snapped. A touch from this wouldnt hurt more than an E-ranked attack.
Limit: Hidden village of the Cloud only. Lightning Release needed.

Raikou opened the scroll finally and saw what the next jutsu would entail. Hinoko no yubi. A jutsu where the user does hand seals from the tesaki no kumo, and snaps there finger to form a lightning ball on the finger tip. Sounds interesting, Raikou got to work. Raikou started off by reading and finding out juts exactly what was needed for this technique.

Raikou read the scroll thoroughly, he had already memorized the hand seals from before. Raikou did the hand seals 12, 25, 345. Raikou focused chakra into his right hand and snapped his finger. Nothing happened. Raikou was angry, but immediately tried again. Raikou did the hand seals 12, 25, 345. Raikou focused chakra into his right hand and snapped his finger.

This time, a small spark would form on his finger tip. He was getting there slowly but surely. He tried again. Raikou did the hand seals 12, 25, 345. Raikou focused chakra into his right hand and snapped his finger. The spark was the same size as before, Raikou was relelntlessa and tried again. Raikou did the hand seals 12, 25, 345. Raikou focused chakra into his right hand and snapped his finger.

This time, the spark would be a moderate size, he was making progress. Raikou finally decided to focus more chakra into the right hand. He tried again. Raikou did the hand seals 12, 25, 345. Raikou focused chakra into his right hand and snapped his finger. Bigger, but still of a moderate size. Raikou keep going and attempted again.

Raikou did the hand seals 12, 25, 345. Raikou focused chakra into his right hand and snapped his finger. This time the lightning ball was be pretty big, Raikou was yet to be finished. He did however, stop and assess his progress. Raikou had realized that he was using a decent amount of chakra to get this thing going. Just how much chakra exactly would he need to get this up and running though? Raikou intended to find out.

Raikou tried, yet again. Raikou did the hand seals 12, 25, 345. Raikou focused chakra into his right hand and snapped his finger. The lightning ball on his finger was pretty big and look to be a moderate size. The scroll said that this wouldn't hurt the opponent very much at all, if any. Raikou wondered, for a moment and then got back to work.

Raikou did the hand seals 12, 25, 345. Raikou focused chakra into his right hand and snapped his finger. The lightning ball was be pretty big, Raikou was yet to be finished. Raikou had realized that he was using a decent amount of chakra. Raikou decided to keep trying and press onward.

Raikou did the hand seals 12, 25, 345. Raikou focused chakra into his right hand and snapped his finger. The lightning ball on Raikous finger was a decent size this time around. Raikou was confident that this was the size he needed to continue with the line of techniques. However, Raikou practiced the technique further, to make sure he was on the ball.

Raikou did the hand seals 12, 25, 345. Raikou focused chakra into his right hand and snapped his finger. The ball continued to be the same size as Raikou decided to hold his chakra and the ball on his finger tip. Raikou held this for what would seem like 5 minutes before releasing it again. Raikou seemed pleased with his progress and decided that was enough for this jutsu.
