The sun was shining brightly in Kusagakure. The streets were bustling with activity as usual and a cool breeze made it's way throughout the village. On a fine day such as this, Shida found himself at the library, or rather...atop the library! The young genin sat huddled in the center of the roof. All around him were five scrolls, each with a respective kanji labeled on the side. "Water, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Lightning. The five basic chakra natures which shinobi use to perform various jutsu." Shida read aloud, another scroll in his lap.

Today was one of those rare days where Shida had some free time. No missions, no chores, and no group trainings. This time , he chose to spend his day studying and training. He had made it a goal of his to discover his chakra nature. Most shinobi had discovered their chakra natures fairly early, usually during the academy years and rarely beforehand. While most academy students focused on their Ninjutsu, Shida opted for focusing on his Taijutsu and his clans special traits. Unfortunately, things had gotten busy rather quickly after he graduated, and soon Shida found little time to train his ninjutsu. Today he planned to rectify that, finding out his chakra nature would be a big step forward.

During Shida's time in the academy he often paid close attention to every lesson. It was for this reason he was able to figure out the first steps for himself. Perks of being a good student. With an uncommon, childish excitement Shida read on. "While elemental affinity is often discovered early on in a shinobi's training, those who have multiple natures or have yet to discover their initial nature may do so by focusing their chakra into specialized papers..." he trailed off, taking a moment to dig his hand into his pocket, retrieving several slips of paper. Ultimately, only one slip was required, but having more and not needing them was better than needing more and not having them. Shida set the scroll aside and began to set the slip of paper between his index and middle fingers, intertwining his middle and pinky fingers. It looked almost as if he were making a finger gun.

Shida started by calling himself, taking in deep breathes. Breathing was essential in everything, whether it be meditation, combat or dance. To have control over one's breath was to have control over one's energy. Shida took deep, concentrated breathes, letting the air fill his lungs for a moment then slowly exhaling. Not in large huffs, but in a steady even stream. Once he established this patterns he set his focus elsewhere, feeling the chakra circulate through his body. First he would simply acknowledge it's presence, not forcing it or manipulating it in any shape or form, simply letting it exist within and around him.

After meditating like this for another moment he began to let his chakra be more focused. He concentrated , letting his reserves slowly move towards his hands then channel in to the paper that settled neatly between his fingers. His eyes focused on the paper, patiently he waited. Not long after he would notice the paper begin to react. The paper began to crumble, several creases being formed along it's surface. Shida jumped a little at this and released the paper. A sly smirk grew across his face.

Shida quickly took the sixth scroll and placed it back on his lap. His bright blue eyes scanned the text. "Once a sufficient amount of chakra is channeled into the paper, it will react according to the shinobi's chakra nature. In the event of a fire nature, the paper will ignite. If water, the paper will become wet..." he trailed off again, looking towards the paper. "Lightning release!". It was not what he had expected but it was certainly a welcomed surprise. With this information confirmed Shida placed the scroll and paper away, taking up the scroll labeled"Raiton".

Shida took the next few hours to study chakra in detail. He went over concepts such as shaping chakra, applying elemental natures and so on and so fourth. After feeling comfortable enough with the thoughts and ideas he studied he then attempted to put what he learned in to practice. Shida rolled up the scrolls and placed them several feet away from him. He didn't plan on taking any chances on damaging them and inevitably having to pay for it. 

Shida returned to the center of the building top. He looked around carefully, making sure there was nothing he could accidentally blow up or set on fire...lightning release was an exceptionally strong element to deal with , especially in the hands of a novice. Shida knew better than to be practicing haphazardly. Once he was certain that the area was accident proof he got to work.

Like before, he took in a deep breath. Control was the name of the game! "Draw in...release out. Let the air move on it's own. No need to force anything..." he reminded himself. Shida spread his feet shoulder width apart and clasped his hands together, making the universal hand seal. Like before, the chakra began to flow around him. Fueled by his focus and control, waves of energy began to circle around him in slight gusts. A light blue aura coating his body.

Next he had to mold the chakra into his element, however he had to shape it first. As it was now would be unacceptable. It overlapped him like a shroud. Shida focused, attempting to mold the shape of his chakra. After moments of this concentrated attempt the blue aura around him began to shift and condense, now forming loose circles around him, much like the rings of Saturn.  Beads of sweat began to trail down the side of the shinobi's face, this had taken much more control than he originally assumed. "More!" his mind urged his body to push harder. In response the rings around him began to dance and light up. Rotating faster and faster they took on a new form. Streaks of shimmering blue energy danced around the genin, every so often streaking outward, shocking the ground around him. The chakra nature was successfully added, but at the sacrifice of the initial control. 

It was by this time Shida's face was now glistening with sweat. Still, he pushed on with that same focus he displayed during his midnight training in the academy. With a killer intensity the boy began to will his chakra into a more focused stream. The miscellanies jolts ceased their defiant dancing. Shida now stood there, streams of electricity circling around him closely. Finally, he dispelled the chakra in a huff. Unbeknownst to him, a smile grew across his face. All that was left for him to do was return the borrowed scrolls...and take a much needed shower.
