Very well written. Thank you.

Sometime later, Asami opened her eyes to a bright light and instinctively rose her hand into the air. Her mind still believed that she was being struck by lightning, when in truth she was laying on her bed with the lights turned on. Obito’s worried face came into focus shortly after followed by his gruff voice. “Gave me a right scare there, my dear.” He said softly, assisting Asami as she attempted to sit herself up. Swinging her legs over the side of the bed, Asami accepted the offered drink and drained the glass of its contents. “Can we go again?” She asked with a croak.

Obito shook his head and stood, but he did not refuse her. Once outside, Asami ventured out into the yard yet again and felt the downpour of rain water petting her skin and drenching her clothing to her body. Thunder roared viciously in the sky, echoing out over the mountain tops and greeting her with a cruel reminder that lightning will follow within a few minutes. One, two, three.. the sky lit up beautifully, spilling out another bolt of lightning. Moving agilely across the dirt, Asami focused intently on her chakra, allowing it to ooze out of her system and circulate around her body like a protective barrier.

The heat livened her stiff muscles and enabled her to move more freely as she approached the area where the lightning was striking. But out of nowhere, a large reddish white bolt shot down from the sky and was aimed directly at Asami as she spun around, skidded and halted herself to meet it. Outstretching her right hand, Asami curled in all fingers except for her middle and index fingers. Those remained pointed as she held her arm and hand out to the lightning in greeting. Fear gripped her like fingers around a neck, yet Asami continued to hold her ground and stare at the lightning as it bolted down toward her.

While her chakra formed that protective barrier around her torso and arms, Asami allowed her breathing to slow right down and her racing heart to regulate. The heart remained a speeding train, but her breathing had reduced significantly. However, the moment her breathing had slowed, Asami’s chakra control grew easier to control to the point when a thick layer of it covered her fingers just seconds before the lightning struck them. White-hot heat scoured her body, shooting down her arm through her hand. The pain was familiar and therefore no longer a threat, but Asami still shook violently against the onslaught.

As the lightning travelled down her arm, the chakra racing long with it moved as quickly as the bolt had. Circulating around inside her chest, Asami focused on allowing the chakra to move and swell so that once the lighting touched her chest, her organs will be thoroughly protected. Heat raced along her body, moving rapidly yet aggressively. The fear was still there, but Asami was focused on regulating her chakra control to enable her to remain awake once the lightning passed through and out of her. But was she going to be fortunate this round?

Oh Ridairekuto Hmph, brings back memories… Hmm, +10.

[A 5 A M 1 -- N4GA]

The heat had reached her chest now and was ploughing through her. Fortunately her chakra had managed to shove it through her chest and into her left arm. Immediately Asami raised her left arm and curled all fingers inward aside from the index and middle fingers and was patient and strangely calm. The moment the lightning had passed through her chest, Asami found that the pain had lessened to the point when she was able to bear it. While her chakra flowed calmly through her system, the chakra was able to push the lightning out swiftly and for the first time since performing this technique, Asami was able to watch it being expelled from her body.

Lightning tore out from her fingers and settled itself within the clouds over the mountains. The sight was beautiful to say the least, despite the tingly feeling that ran through Asami’s arms and chest. Was this normal for a jutsu of this kind? She had not felt it before. Placing both her hands upon her chest, Asami smiled when she felt the sensations. She was not numb or in pain, just tingly. Her hands then moved to rub both her arms and found that this had created more circulation within them. Asami knew then that she was going to be just fine. The lighting had indeed left her system, but she suddenly felt very cold. “Well done, daughter. I want to see you do it again.” Obito said with an affectionate smile.

Nodding, Asami moved further out into the field, creating an even larger distance from the house. Her clothing was saturated from the rain, and the thought of being struck again was unnerving, especially with the water being all over her body. Raising a shaky arm into the air, Asami slowly began to conjure up her chakra once more. Her life’s energy flowed through her vessels swiftly as if the lightning had dilated her vessels to allow more than just chakra to flow through. Her movements felt strange and jerky to her, yet seeing herself move looked fluent and graceful.

With her right arm extended fully, Asami raised her gaze skyward. Thunder roared high above, directly overhead. The sound rattled the ground and sent a shock wave through Asami’s body. However, as the sky lit up again, Asami shivered and held her arm straight and firm. As her chakra moved throughout her system, Asami stood very still and pushed 50 percent of it into her chest while the remaining flowed around her fingertips and along her arms. At once a large bolt shot from the sky and speared the ground with such force that the heat brushed up against Asami like a summer wind.

The second bolt followed immediately after, snaking off into two different directions; toward the house, and upon Asami. The heat scorched her fingers and ripped into her arm. The familiar pain shot up and through Asami’s system which forced her to stiffen the muscles in her legs, yet keep her torso and arms relaxed to allow freedom of movement for the lightning. The white bolt shot through her arm quickly before Asami raised her left arm to point ward the sky. After a brief glimpse toward the house, Asami noticed that Obito was redirecting a bolt of lightning himself.

The sky had gone black now. Despite the thunder still roared. I moved over toward the house once more and sat down upon the deck as the rain continued to fall. Obito took his spot beside me. My arms and fingers were tingling and my chest felt as if I had been holding on to a live fence for half an hour. Apart of me felt as if the lighting was still coursing through my system, and as I closed my eyes I could see the lighting travelling through my body.

//Enter Flashback

I am the lighting. Powerful and bright. The landscape below me is extremely small, yet vast at the same time. However, as the thunder rumbles and I peek through the clouds looking for an area to strike. I see a figure standing in the centre of the field and decide to shoot down upon it. The figure raises something pointed toward me as I near her. And I enter it swiftly, feeling the figure stiffen and grow hard. I am racing down something reasonably warm and liquid brushes against me as I move down the length of it.

The blueness I am moving alongside acts as my guide. The host I travel through is forcing itself to relax to the point that as I travel through, the blueness directs me across something large, a cavity that I have rarely seen and into another smaller shaft before shooting up again. I know I am moving up as I have never travelled anywhere else except down. And as soon as I emerge from the figure, I see the sky. More thunder thunders overhead, lighting flashes across the sky, welcoming me as I sore back up into the heavens..

//Exit Flashback

I open my eyes and stare out at the mountains as lighting strikes them from above and I wonder what it would feel like being the lighting rather than the object being struck. “Alright, break time is over. Time to get back out there and resume your training,” Obito says, helping me to my feet. “You are not even half way yet.” He finishes, reminding me that I have yet to rest properly until this jutsu is mastered. I am exhausted and growing annoyed, but my father is right. I need to finish this first.

My feet carry me out onto the field once more and as I move my chakra is coursing through my body freely and steadily. I feel refreshed and pure as I come to a halt and raise my right arm into the air. My chakra gave a little surge as I stood there, holding my arm up to the heavens, silently begging for the lighting to strike me. I am rewarded with a thunderous roar before something powerful, white hot and bright appears in my line of vision. I have only one second for a swift intake of breath before the lighting strikes me.

[A 5 A M 1 -- N4GA]

White-hot pain sears through my body as my chakra envelopes the point of contact. The lighting enters through my system at such speed that despite I have been doing this for the past few hours now, I always seem to forget the impact the lighting makes at the point of connection. My chakra is alive within me, moving with each strained breath I take and my body shudders with the sheer effort to keep upright. Rain continues to plaster against my face while the winds whip against my hair violently. Can I continue doing this another time without going up in flames?

My chakra encourages the lighting to move downward in a shot-like fashion, forcing it to travel in one direction only. My arm is dead straight, all muscles inside locked and unable to relax. This causes me major discomfort and the numbing sensation does not help with keeping the lighting moving. It is even moving? My eyes are closed as tightly as my muscles will allow. My chakra has pushed the lighting into my chest cavity by now and the pain honestly feels like a blow torch is scorching my insides.

Breathe.. It’s all you have to do.. I keep reminding myself that. With each intake of breath, chakra moves forward and each time I contract a muscle it pushes blood and lymph up my legs and arms and back to my heart. Now I know that the lighting is not traveling up through my veins and arteries thank God! But the contractions of my muscles are causing the lightings movements to become restricted and thus, forcing it to remain inside my body longer.

I know that this is dangerous. It can kill me. Electrical pulses roaming through my chest cavity will eventually attack the heart no matter what my chakra does. Chakra courses through my heart just as blood does, the last thing I want is a couple of hundred thousand volts of lighting doing that as well. I concentrate on forcing my intercostal muscles to relax as I use the breathing techniques that I had briefly read about during stressful moments. My intercostals pull out my ribcage as the lighting moves through with what I’d imagine was a silent thanks!

By then, I know that it has entered into my other arm. For a moment I stand there dumbly and the lighting kick-starts my muscular system before I force my other arm to raise. It moves jerky and painfully slow. It is torture and the lighting moving up to the elbow is creating more worry and stress for me. Will I get it up in time? Or will I risk striking the ground and having sparks strike me in the process? I need to move quickly, or I will end up dying by lighting.

[A 5 A M 1 -- N4GA]

Raise the arm! My mind continues to scream at me. I grow panicky, which I know is bad. But can one really blame me? My arm jerks up a little more and I force my eyes open at the sound of Obito’s voice. “DON’T AIM AT THE HOUSE!” Despite I cannot hear him say the words, the formation of his mouth as the words left it was enough for me to know what he was saying. Plus the fact that my finger was pointing directly at the house was enough to tell me as well.

I force my arm up another notch, eager to get rid of this lighting as quickly as possible. The point of my finger is now at the roof of the house. “Higher!” Obito screams, pointing toward the sky as he did so. I am trying! I hear my voice scream inside my head. The muscles in my arms are strained to the point of pure agony, yet I manage to thrust enough strength into my arm to raise it another notch. By now my chakra was slithering up my arm, accompanying the lighting in a sort of tug-o-war.

It was clear that the lighting did not want to leave my system. But I wanted it gone more than anything. I continued to force my chakra to pull at the lighting as much as I could, and even went as far as contracting the muscles in my upper arm to help encourage the lighting to move forward and to prevent “back-flow”. Think of it as lymph.. the valves in the veins prevent the lymph from flowing back.. Thankfully my arm shoots directly skyward, my armpit now facing my house and father. The pain, heat and lighting exit my arm at such a speed that I feel as if not only the lighting has left me, but something else as well.

I felt ripped from the inside out, something valuable taken from me. My head remained straight, my gaze locked onto the house despite seeing nothing. I knew I was staring at the house for it was the last thing I was facing at the time. My head had not moved despite my arm had. How it had moved? Beats me, but I simply stood there afterward, frozen for a moment before darkness finally overtook me. I did not feel anything even when subconsciously I knew my body had already hit the ground.

Sometime later, Asami awoke to a pebble-upon-a-table sound as the rain continued to fall. She was inside the house laying on the floor just inside from the porch surrounding the house. Obito was at her side, sitting in a chair sipping from a cup. “Four hours later and she awakens.” He says before taking another zip of water. Asami stares at her father for a few moments before testing whether she should sit up or not. Deciding that she would, Asami gently eased herself up until she was in a seated position.

“You mastered the B rank. Now I want to teach you how to send small jolts of Raiton into the opponent each time you strike them.” Obito said, setting the cup down. “May I have some tea?” Asami asked, her throat feeling very similar to sand paper. A cup was thrust forward as Obito stood from his seated position. Asami turned her head to see her mother with the tea. Grateful, Asami took a swig of the liquid and stood up herself before being lead outside. “We can do this in the shelter around back. No need to go in the rain.” Obito explained once the pair reached the span of land where the rain was blocked off by a large brown tarp.

“You know the Joint Cramp jutsu, right?” Obito then asked, turning toward Asami once they cleared the house. At her nod, Obito smiled. “This jutsu is very similar to that, but rather than focusing your chakra into your hands to grab your opponent, your chakra will release shocks toward your opponent as you strike them. The Raiton shocks last for eighteen seconds.” He explained while moving into a taijutsu stance. Asami knew no Taijutsu so all she did was raise her hands and widen her stance.

“Focus your chakra into both your hands and perform the Snake handseal. Keep the chakra flow going as we spar and don’t break the flow for eighteen seconds, you understand?” Obito said sternly. “Right.” Asami said and watched her father charge..

[A 5 A M 1 -- N4GA]

Asami’s chakra was flaring hotly as her father charged. Ducking a potential blow to the cheek, Asami pivoted around Obito and raised her hands to perform the Snake handseal. The movements were so swift and fast that once the handseal was completed, Asami weaved around Obito’s larger body and thrust her right hand forward first. At first, nothing happened, only that her father’s body absorbed the attack. Her reward was a fist to the stomach and a throw to the ground.

Clambering to her feet, Asami moved forward, dilating her veins to allow the chakra to properly move through. Her fingers grew slightly tingly as she moved around her father’s body and thrust her fists forward. First came the left fist as it connected with Obito’s side. Asami could feel a sudden charge leave her body as her chakra released itself on its own. The jolt crippled her father for a brief moment before he took a swing for her face again.

Asami ducked her head and thrust her right fist forward, the chakra already forming a tight shield against her knuckles. The tingling feeling coated her fingertips and knuckles before enveloping both her hands. As the fist made contact with Obito’s abdomen, more chakra was released and a jolt left her and entered into her father. Asami was rewarded with another crippling grunt and her father’s body doubled over.

Using this as an opening, Asami bought her knee up and sent her right fist into Obito’s right cheek. The blow sent her father to the ground, cupping his face as he did so. By then, Asami had focused more of her chakra to cling to the edges of both her fists and to lessen the amount circulating once the fists were properly coated. At this time, Asami moved forward and delivered another punch with her left hand as Obito got to his feet. This one was dodged and Asamic copped a bone jarring punch to the stomach.

After a swift intake of breath, Asami threw herself forward again, thrusting her left fist forward and striking her father’s shoulder. The jolt escaped from her system so quickly that Asami suddenly felt a little cold. But quickly following the first jab, her second one connected with Obito’s chest as he stepped back from the first jab. However, by then, her knuckles had stopped tingling and the first round was over. “Very good. Now take five and then we can start again.” Obito said with a smile.

Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user the ability to send small jolts of electricity into the opponent with every hand-strike and arm block for three turns. Can be used in conjunction with most Taijutsu that deal with hand-strikes.
Special: Snake
Drawback: May backfire if user attacks a water clone or other water type barrier etc.
Description: User takes in a very deep breath and holds the snake handsign briefly while their chakra is diverted to their arms. With every punch or other hand strike, the user's chakra is sent out into the opponent's body in a small burst that is electrified. It doesn't cause paralysis immediately, but the strikes do accumulate and it adds to the power of each strike. Basically, you hit harder and you shock as well. A smaller shock is sent out whenever the user blocks an attack with their arms. It is significantly less severe, but it does cause discomfort to the opponent.

After Asami had a small break, her mother, Sirena had come from inside the house and informed Obito that he was needed elsewhere. Disappointment flooded Asami’s features as she had wanted to train a little more with him. After a brief kiss upon the top of her head, Obito left the house with a puff of smoke. I must learn how to do that.. “Asami, darling would you like to learn some Bard? I know you have mastered singing.” Sirena said softly, coming to sit beside her daughter on the steps. “Notes and melodies can be used in battle as well as for entertainment.”

Asami turned to stare at her mother and admired how much she looked so much like her. “Sure, what do you have in mind, Mom?” Asami said softly, rubbing her hands together in anticipation. Sirena gave out a little chuckle before standing. Asami watched as her mother entered out into the training area. “Now, this technique allows you to enhance your hearing to the point when you are capable of pin pointing a sound that is within ten metres of you.” Sirena explained as Asami got to her feet.

“How does it work?” Asami asked, moving to stand opposite her mother. “Well since you are constantly around sound and music, you are able to point out a faulty note during a song,” Sirena said, using her hands as she spoke. “As you learn to pick up on those faulty sounds, you are able to fix the instrument accordingly. Now this applies when you are attempting to locate a target nearby, say a foe who you are following, or trying to get away from.

“You concentrate on enhancing your hearing by picking up on the sound waves around you. Give it a try and see if there are any animals around the area. If you hear anything, like rustling or breathing aside from my own, then there is something within ten metres of where we are standing.” Sirena explained, folding her arms across her chest as she did so. Asami stared out into the distance, mentally calculating the distance the forest was away from this section of the house. Seven metres.. Eight? With a nod, Asami sat down in the centre of the sheltered area and closed her eyes.

[A 5 A M 1 -- N4GA]

Sounds in her immediate space came from both Sirena and herself. Asami was able to determine those immediately. As she concentrated, the faint sound of a piano was playing inside the house. She knew her parents loved music and therefore played soft tunes inside the house. This particular tune was playing from the radio so Asami was able to determine that as well. As she listened further, the faint sound of flapping was happening in the distance.

A fleeing bird or winged animal was leaving the direction of the house, which suggested that the news Sirena had received about her husband was via messenger animal. Asami concentrated on the sound of the flapping, but it disappeared just before she was able to pin point it. It went past the ten metre mark. Now that Asami knew exactly where ten metres was, she gently tapped the ground beside her with her index finger.

The touch sent a minor tremor along the surface before radiating out within a ten metre radius. The sound waves that arced out bounced against smaller objects as well as the house. Sirena was standing directly behind her roughly half a metre away and was stationary. A smaller creature was scurrying along the floor four metres to her left. Asami concentrated on the feet of the creature and realized that it was a spider running along the dirt. Further out, Asami sensed a heavier vibration which belonged to a rabbit.

Said rabbit was dashing along the yard and into the treeline of the forest which stood seven or eight metres away from her position. The moment the rabbit hit the ten metre mark, Asami determined the treeline being at eight metres as the sound of its feet hitting the ground sent a minor wave toward the nearest bush as its roots tremored slightly beneath the force of the rabbit’s weight hitting the ground’s surface. A small smile broke out across Asami’s face as she opened her eyes and turned her head to her mother.

“I found the messenger bird who delivered the message about Dad by listening to it’s wings flapping in the distance. Music is playing from inside the house six metres from where we are. You are exactly half a metre away from me. A spider was running away from us four metres to my left and a rabbit entered the tree line eight metres away and ran for another two metres before it went out of range.” Asami said in a giddy tone. Sirena smiled and nodded. “Well done. So tell me, was that all you heard?”

Asami nods toward her mother’s question, eyebrow arched. Sirena seemed satisfied with the reply and nodded. “Alright, moving on then.” She said, folding her arms across her chest as Asami stood up. “Next you will be learning how to deafen yourself for a short period of time. This can be useful should another person use a deafening sound against you.” Sirena explained. Asami nodded and waited for her mother to begin explaining how it worked.

“You are to focus a thick layer of your chakra within your ears. Coat the eardrum with this chakra. It should deafen you for twelve seconds. Now twelve seconds may not seem like much, but when you are out on the battlefield every second counts.” Sirena said at Asami’s expression. So in response, Asami began to conjure up a small amount of her chakra. It was approximately enough chakra to fill her first, although even that seemed a bit too much for eardrums.

Directly the chakra to her ears, Asami divided the chakra evenly and applied it to the ear drums as her mother had directed. The chakra felt similar to liquid as it coated a thickened layer around her eardrum and immediately the aftereffects were instantaneous. The sound of the pebble-like rain as it hit the tarp overhead faded along with the roaring thunder rolling across the heaven above. The howling wind seemed to have faded from existence just with a blink of an eye.

It was almost frightening to be completely deaf; not being able to hear a single thing at all. Asami gasped and Sirena began speaking. Confused, Asami narrowed her eyes as her mother’s mouth continued to move. “I can’t hear you!” Asami said, although from the looks of her mother’s expression it was as if she had shouted the words. Clamping a hand over her mouth, Asami giggled and whispered the word: “Sorry..”

Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: The user temporarily deafens their ears.
Special: ---
Drawback: Cannot be undone until time has expired. Cannot be used on others. Takes extra time to use as it is sealless.
Description: Without the use of hand seals, the user focuses charka to their own eardrums and creates a thick layer over them, without seals this takes a total of three seconds. In doing so, the user becomes temporarily deaf and incapable of hearing sounds what so ever. This layer of charka however may not be canceled by will, and the user must wait for the duration of the jutsu for it to end. The effects of such a jutsu last only two posts due to the weak strength of it, however it is completely effective at making the user deaf.

When the effects wore off for the self-deafening, Amara stared at Sirena and waited for a reply. “Try it again, this time I am going to make an ear-piercing sound.” Asami arched a brow, but began focusing her chakra into her ears again. This time she allowed the chakra to move into her head slowly before slipping into her ears. The ear drum was just inside the ear itself, so coating that with a thick layer of chakra was reasonably easy. It felt as if she was shoving cotton wool into her ears.

The feeling of covering her ears overwhelmed her. The chakra moved against the ear drum, the sound echoing inside her head before a faint rustling sound began. By then Sirena’s mouth was wide open and her eyes were bugging. Asami knew her mother was screaming, but the sound seemed present, yet faint. That meant that she needed a little more chakra. As Sirena continued to scream, Asami applied another thin layer on top of the thicker layer that was already there.

Now the faint sound of the scream was non-existent. It was as if the entire world surrounding her had simply disappeared. Or if she had truly gone deaf. Asami turned her head to the left, showing her left ear to her mother. Still no sound. Sirena moved closer to her daughter and continued to scream. Yet Asami shook her head and then turned her head to the right. The faint sound of Sirena’s screams hit her and Asami flinched. The ringing noise was faint, but still there.

Applying a little more chakra to her ear, Asami turned her head again and found that the faint screaming sound had disappeared. With a headache, Asami shook her head and measured the chakra she had used for her left ear and realized that her right ear had less. A miscalculation had given her a headache, but at least she was deaf for another twelve seconds…
