Suiton: Dekishi (Water Style: Death by Drowning)
Rank: D Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a single stream of water, around two inches thick, which moves forward at a slow rate, attempting to feed itself into the opponent's mouth, where it will fill their lungs in an attempt to drown the opponent. The attack is easily dodge or destroyed.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Moves extremely slow.
Description: ---
Limit: Must know Suiton no Jutsu (Water Release). Must have a water source.

This next technique was another water based technique. It was a simple thing. Especially since he had already developed the liquid grip technique. In fact it was a rather simple move. Used alone it would never work on an opponent during a fight. It was a killing move. One that required the opponent to be immobilized if it had any chance at working. The jutsu was going to be used for one reason and one reason alone. To drown someone with a long chord of water. This seemed like a grizzly move but relying purely on lightning techniques was a dangerous move.

Shiki wasn’t quite sure how to go about practicing this. Drowning one of his clones was an option but that seemed rather… Well that seemed rather awful. So Shiki spent the better part of the morning working of creating a new head for his training dummy. It wasn’t the most advanced thing in the world. Namely just a bucket with a rubber hose for a mouth and nose so Shiki could practice this move. Standing in the center of the courtyard Shiki made the hand seals he needed to perform the Jutsu. Shiki gathered the small amount of chakra required to make the jutsu.

It was a little alarming how little control Shiki had over water releases. In fact just being able to manipulate water jutsus was a massive drain on his Chakra. Not wanting to fall further behind meant he needed to learn a couple more water jutsu to make himself more well rounded. Releasing the jutsu a small stream of water wound its way from Shiki’s pond at the winding up along the target dummy and slowly pushing itself into the mouth of the training dummy. The move was simple but the speed of the cord was way too slow to capture anyone and if the enemy wasn’t immobilized.

Furthermore, this technique was dependent on there being an available water source which was difficult in and of itself. Using a combination move however Shiki thought of a decent way to take down a target with a tag team combo. Shiki gathered a quantity of chakra in his mouth an after a few hand signs shot a long water stream out of his mouth all over the stone courtyard. After there was a couple good sized quantity of puddles on the stone Shiki formed new hand signs. There a pretty large drain on his Chakra as Shiki summoned three water clones. It was time to see the test work in action.
Shiki would sit down and watch the combo from a distance.

The three water clones began forming different hand signs. The first water clone fired water out of his mouth striking the target dummy in the chest. The moment the water hit the target dummy in the chest. It was turned into a coil of water wrapping around the targets arms. The coiled water constricted the dummy while a tendril of water stretched out from the constricting water bands. The small water snaked its way into the mouth of the dummy and into began to suffocate it. When all was said and done the clones had ensnared, soaked and had began to strangle the clone.

Raiton: Mushi Nodenki (Lightning Release: Bug Electric Field)

Rank: "C", "B", "A"

Skill: Ninjutsu, Offensive, Short to Medium Range

Effect: Creates a burst of electrical energy that zaps anything caught within the technique.

Special: "Handseals"

Drawback: The attack, since it can effect many techniques, does little damage until higher ranks are achieved. Humans are unaffected by the technique.

Description: A technique utilizing the Raiton element, this technique was designed in order to kill bugs, whose smaller bodies and wings allow for them to be significantly weakened by Raiton based techniques. The user will perform the required handseals, building electrical energy within their hands. Completing the handseals, the user will clap their hands together and then perform an open-handed palm strike with both hands to the air in front of them. The electrical energy built in will be released in a one hundred and eight degree wave, extending outwards a distance based upon the user's current rank of the technique. At "C" Rank, the wave can extend outwards as far as five meters from the user, and is capable of paralyzing small bugs (nothing larger than a centimeter in height) for up to three turns. At "B" Rank, the wave is capable of extending outwards as far as fifteen meters. Larger bugs (those between one and six centimeters in height) will be paralyzed for up to three turns, while smaller bugs will be zapped and killed. Gargantuan bugs (those between six centimeters and twelve inches in height) will be paralyzed for one turn. At "A" Rank, the wave is capable of extending outwards for up to 35 meters, and any creature smaller than twelve inches in height can suffer from paralyzation for up to three turns, while bugs of twelve inches in height or less will be killed.

Limit: Must have Raiton no Jutsu.

The next Jutsu was going to be something a little bit different from Shiki’s normal change of pace. Well in a sense it was still another lightning Jutsu but this one looks promising. Shiki saw one of the Jonin demonstrate this jutsu earlier and it seemed to have a multitude of uses. Most importantly it seemed to be a way to deal with enemies that used insects to fight. More importantly Shiki detested insects. Lightning moves in general were perfect for killing bugs. But this move could be the one. This tool could be the one that ends the internal terror that has always plagued Shiki since a young age.

The Bug Electric Field was a magical Jutsu. To put it simply it gave Shiki the power to dominate insects like the natural predator. The spider. Like the spider Shiki could now prey upon those winged demons that until now have made his life a walking nightmare. Today was going to be the perfect day to take on these winged demons. More importantly it was the perfect environment. Ever since Shiki had destroyed the back courtyard by turning the courtyard into a crater there had been an infestation of bugs all along the courtyard attracted to the water of the family pond.

Shiki’s father had already ordered the contractors to come in to fix the courtyard. Yet before they could do that Shiki had been put in charge of pest extermination. There were several nests of spiders, wasps and other various gross buggy arachnids and the like. Gathering his scrolls on the Jutsu Shiki opened up the scroll and began to read how to perform the Jutsu. Looking over the scroll took several minutes. Although this was simply a C rank jutsu. There was several complex intricacies to it that apparently could make this move as difficult to casts as an A rank Jutsu.

Just learning the C rank version of this Justsu would be meaningless Shiki determined. Only paralyzing a bunch of small bugs would not be useful in the least. Especially against someone who could command the larger insects. If I’m going to make this work. I’m going to need to train this up to at least a B level before it has any real use. The training ahead was going to be long and hard. But against such a tough opponent it was going to be worth it.

Starting with this training Shiki would need to get back to training using the Cathode belt again. The cathode belt was simply a long piece of copper wiring separated by insulated semi-conductors. To make the training a success one simply had to make a strong enough electric current that could be carried through the length of the wire. The current would meet the insulation and would only pass the current along to the next length of wire after the insulation had been overloaded by the lightning chakra. This type of training worked on increasing total Chakra output and was generally useful at expanding ones ability to tap into Chakra reserves.

While a useful training this technique was rather painful to train. The lightning that would course through the rod ran through a copper rod that the user of the machine would have to hold. The rod forked out at the end and would be held in both hands. Shiki had flash backs of using this machine last time. The burns on Shiki’s hands had just begun to heal from his last time using this machine. The damage done to his hands almost left him nerve dead on his skin. However, this would not hold back Shiki. Eventually his hands would become stronger and able to resist the pain. But the only way to make it happen would be through a lot of hard work. Unfortunately, that meant more time using the cathode machine.


Shiki grabbed the metal for with both hands. Sitting down he crossed his legs as if he were about to meditate. Summoning forth this much Chakra was more then just bringing forward Chakra. The chakra summoning process was difficult. It required summoning a lot of focusing on the spiritual chi inside of ones body and mixing it with the physical component of his Chakra. Shiki would often sit in complete stillness with several books balancing on his head in order to practice summoning his Chi in order to achieve his chakra strength.


In order to summon a large amount of chakra it was incredibly important find the proper mix of both Chakra’s or there would be a result of a large amount of wasted energy. Wasting that much spiritual or physical energy would reduce the total amount of chakra available in someone’s body. Shiki knew this was the case however and decided it was time to just get to it. Grabbing the metal fork in both hands Shiki felt the long smooth copper fork against him palm. His sensitive burned skin cried out knowing what was going to happen next.


Gathering his Chakra and molding into lightning. Shiki began to violently rotate the lightning chakra inside of his body. This circular rotation gave the lightning its strength. About a minute passed as Shiki felt his body fill with the electrifying lightning inside of his body. Once Shiki had the lighting fill his body he then began the arduous process of moving all the chakra to centralize on his arms. The nature of lightning is that it will always flow out through the path of least resistance. However when dealing with this much lightning it would try and escape however it can. To increase his Chakra out put into the cathode belt Shiki needed to literally push the chakra out his arms.


Shiki let the lightning fill his arms. Shiki loved this sensation, the tingling numbness running up and down his arms made them feel like they were two large power pylons. All this energy was begging for a release. It wanted to attack the cathode belt. All this lightning surging through Shiki truly made him feel like he was powerful. Finally it was time to let the lightning free. Shiki pushed the lightning out of his body allowing his hands to become the conduit to the copper rod.

Shiki screamed in pain and motivation as the lighting ripped through his arms. The pain wasn’t immediate but as the lightning struck the copper rod the copper began to heat up. The temperature increased higher and higher until Shiki could smell the skin on his hands burning from the hot metal. Shiki needed to finish this as quick as possible. Forcing the lighting out of his arms made the time spend holding the metal shorter. But it also made the metal much hotter as it began to heat up. The lighting in his arms had deadened his nerves. They felt paralyzed. Though he couldn’t feel his arms, Shiki could feel his chakra however.


The Chakra leaving his arms was an odd sensation. It was like slowly losing the ability to feel. Slowly losing strength. Bands of sweat began to form on Shiki’s forehead as his endurance was being strained and tested. Shiki remained in a state of calm despite the sensation of lightning coursing through his arms. Learning how to let lightning flow through the body was something that Shiki would need to become used to If he ever wanted to truly master lightning elements. There are even masters who are able to absorb large amounts of lightning and redirect it with their bodies. Some rumors even say that some masters are able to take lightning and convert it back into chakra.


This of course was never heard of before. But Shiki heard through his grandfather that during the first great war. Saitama Senri the original patron of the Senri family was able to do this. Earning the title of stormborn. The technique was lost but one day Shiki hoped to regain this lost technique of legends. He was after all a Senri. The lightning continued to channel through Shiki’s arms and the rod took the current with great thirst. Finally after about 15 seconds there was no more lightning in Shiki’s body, his chakra was almost completely depleted.

Dropping the metal fork or rather peeling the metal fork from his hands.

Shiki looked at his newly blistered and burned palms. He would need to clean this and dress the wounds before they became infected of caused permanent damage. Walking over into his house Shiki ran his hand under cold water. The sting of the water on his blisters was unpleasant to say the least but there was not nearly as much damage as last time. There was callouses forming on his hands by this point. Grabbing a long sterile bandage Shiki wrapped his hands and decided it was time to give the jutsu itself a shot.


Stepping outside Shiki visualized the intertwining bug net. The cross hatched electrical rope would have to only allow small holes in it to catch the bugs. This would require a lot of form manipulation and an attention to detail. However after a lightning clone this shouldn’t be very difficult. Making the hand seals Shiki gathered what little remaining Chakra he had and clapped his hands together. Throwing his right arm outwards like a palm strike an electric bug shot out about 5 meters in length in front of him. Shiki smiled but began to sway from his chakra loss. It was time to take a break for lunch.

im strongly going to suggest you copy most of these posts into a word processor and remove them before this gets graded. you cant train all of the ranks simultaneously without being graded, so the most you would get for all this work is 30.

[Deleted]

Alright I'll get it done.
I won't be able too for a few hours though. Thanks for the heads up.

Shiki sat down at his dinner table. He needed to eat and rest a short while before continuing his training for fear of over exerting himself and passing out. While it was a great feeling working yourself to the point of collapse. Ultimately, you lost more time from being unconscious then you would from taking care of yourself and training. Standing up Shiki poured himself a cup of hot green tea and settled down to eat some ramen that one of his family’s cooks had prepared. Perhaps cook was a wrong term. Hondo was a close family friend and a personal assistant to Shiki’s father. Being paralyzed from the waist down Hondo took care of the household while Shiki’s father continued to make weapons and gadgets for the cloud village.


Slurping his noodles and eating a pork cutlet from the ramen Shiki heard the most vile sound in the world. The buzzing of a fly. It seemed to fill the room with its terrible melody. The buzz drowned out Shiki’s thoughts. Shiki heard the fly wiz past his ear and then it did the most egregious thing possible. It landed on his hand. This was an offense that was unforgivable. Exhausted or not Shiki jumped up from his chair. Making the hand signs Shiki ran his eyes across the dining room looking for his opponent. Paranoia began to set in as Shiki couldn’t find it. Suddenly there was movement.The fat fly was passing by a window trying to escape.

None could escape the judgement of Shiki Senri.

Clapping his hands Shiki cast the net at the bug. It saw the net coming and deftly tried to maneuver away. However the net was far too wide. Getting caught by the net the fly instantly stiffened and fell to the floor paralyzed. Shiki raised his foot over the fly and brought it down on its tiny body. There was a small satisfying crunch as the fly’s life was brought to an end under Shiki’s weight. Shiki raised his foot and looked at the squished remains of the fly. It almost made him sick.


The sight of the dead fly made Shiki feel more grossed out then he did when he killed his first person. He truly and absolutely hated bugs. Running over to the broom closet he grabbed a small broom and dustpan and swept its remains up and carried it over to the waste basket. Dropping it’s squished body into the dustpan Shiki felt a sense of closure. He closed the lid on the waste bin trapping the fly in its tomb. He opened up the broom closet and put the broom back.


Sitting down in his chair Shiki felt a calm sense of accomplishment and continued to eat his ramen. Slurping more noodles down Shiki savored the hot broth. All this training had him famished. He was eating more recently then he had ever before. This was one of the fun parts about being a ninja was satisfying all the cravings Shiki always had to face. Bringing another pork cutlet to his mouth Shiki heard another buzz. His eyes widened.

Shiki’s fingers started to tremble in anger as he heard the intrusive visitor in his home. The fact that they would come here. Into his own home and invade his metaphorical castle was infuriating. If there was ever a moment where all his ninja training was ever needed. It was this. Home defense was one of the fundamental principles of a free society. This pest was invading his home and infringing on Shiki’s peace of mind. There was only one punishment that was fitting for such a crime was death.


Standing up from the table Shiki eyed the room for the home invader. The house was silent but Shiki new he was around here somewhere. Shiki would not end his hunt until his prey was caught. Shiki looked at his bowl of ramen. He had finished it with only a little bit of broth left at the bottom of the ceramic bowl. Shiki came up with a brilliant plan. Grabbing the bowl he put it in the center of the table and waited patiently.


Seconds turned to minutes and ever slowly the half hour mark was coming up. Shiki felt his eyes growing heavy as they began to sag. Suddenly several hours had past and Shiki awoke to his worst nightmare. From an open window there were now at least 7 flies all over the dirty dish that Shiki had left in the middle of his kitchen. There they were rubbing their disgusting hairy legs together and eating the food that Shiki was just previously consuming. Shiki watched them with pure hate and malice in his heart. They were within striking distance. This was his moment. This was his chance to bring stability and order to his home.


Gathering up his chakra Shiki made the handsigns. He let his hate provide him with focus. Slapping his hands together Shiki threw his right hand outwards and launched the electric bugnet at flies. They tried to scatter and break formation. The flies took off from the surface of their ill gotten gains but the net was faster. Capturing the flies in a current of electricity they fell paralyzed into the bowl. There was a faint zapping noise as the organic matter came into contact with the high voltage.


But it wasn’t enough. Shiki needed this to be lethal. Channeling more of his chakra Shiki dug down deep. He felt the fire burning inside of him to kill these pests. Shiki closed his eyes and gathered his Chi mixing it within his body to make this Jutsu more dangerous. Forming the handsigns Shiki opened his eyes with a new strength and determination. Clapping his hands together Shiki cast his right hand outwards as if performing a palm strike. The electric net shot from his hands brighter in intensity and crackling as it flew toward the soup bowl.

Shiki watched with glee as the flies were burnt to a crisp against the electric net. There was a large zapping noise as all the bugs twitched violently and died. Shiki smiled. This was perhaps the most useful technique he had ever learned. The ability to kill pests was now in his hand. With this he could actually make the world a safer better place. It was time to go on his journey to clean up the courtyard. He was going to kill every bug in that courtyard. Grabbing a rolled up magazine just in case things came to hand to hand combat. Rolling up the newest issue of Ninja tools weekly Shiki stepped out into the back courtyard.



Shiki walked outside and saw the upturned stones in the courtyard and the bench in the middle that had been knocked over on its side resembling a shark fin sticking out of the ground. Shiki needed to kill off all these pests so they wouldn’t bother the contractors as they worked. Mainly the pests took the form of several ant hills and a couple wasp nests that took residents in the cherry blossom tree. A regular lightning Jutsu may have done the job but Shiki figured it was better to have a move that was designed to kill bugs would be better suited for the job.



Shiki decided it was better to start with one of the ant hills. Perhaps taking on a few of the ant mounds would make tackling the wasp nests much easier. Shiki imagined that the wasps would take much more lightning then a couple ants or flies. Walking around the courtyard Shiki made a path for the pond where he knew a few of the ant mounds were located. After a short walk stepping over the overturned stone and loose rocks Shiki found himself staring over a and mound that rose about nine inches off the ground.



To get all the ants Shiki found in necessary to be able to get the electricity coursing through the ant hill. The net alone wouldn’t do the job. Gathering up some chakra Shiki made handseals and used his “Death by drowning” technique. The long snake of water rose from the ground and began to crawl toward the ant mound. It slithered over the dirt mound and plunged itself into the mound forcing itself through the tunnels of the ant mound.



The angry six legged defenders began to climb out of every possible entrance they could trying to attack the water or carrying larva out of the rapidly flooding any tunnels. Shiki waited until the snake had stopped forcing itself into the hole assumingly after filling the entire ant mound with water. Releasing the jutsu Shiki began to form new handsigns. Clapping his hands together Shiki pushed his right palm out throwing the electric net over the water logged dirt mound. The lightning crackled as it burnt all the organic matter to a crisp inside the ant mound.

Shiki stood over the burnt charred bodies of the ants. He felt like an emperor standing over a kingdom he had just sacked. These ants would forever lament the day they decided to put their castles on his sovereign grounds. Shiki kicked the dirt mound and watched as the wet clumps of dirt went flying. There were hundreds of dead ants charred inside of the tunnel system. There was no signs of life inside the ant mound. There was only a few more of these to go.

Shiki stepped over his liberated ground and began to make his way carefully over the overturned rocks. Next time he was going to practice a jutsu that could potentially alter the terrain he would need to find a new place to train to avoid destroying any more family property. Shiki’s mind wandered back to Saitama Senri. Where could a man like him have ever learned and practiced his Jutsu. A living paragon of the lightning element like him would have needed a place far away from normal people to practice the extremely powerful jutsu and to study and meditate in seclusion. Shiki was already thinking about learning another very big and dangerous Justus but sadly the family courtyard could never facilitate the training.

This was getting off topic however. Shiki felt some loose stones moved beneath his feet as he moved to the other side of the pond. Here was another anthill. The routine would be rather simple. Gathering up some chakra Shiki made handseals and used his “Death by drowning” technique. The long snake of water rose from the ground and began to crawl toward the ant mound. It slithered over the dirt mound and plunged itself into the mound forcing itself through the tunnels of the ant mound. Once again.

Now Shiki watched with a sick sense of satisfaction as the ants tried to save themselves from Shiki’s power. Shiki ended the jutsu and started preparing the handseals for the Lightning Bug net. Clapping his hands together Shiki threw the bugnet out by extending his right arm. The lighting bugnet flew about 5 meters before making contact with the wet ground. There was a large static pop as the lighting made contact with the organic matter.

Shiki could almost hear the ants screaming as he brought death upon them. The lighting rushed down the tunnel and through every corridor in the ant hill. Shiki smiled mercilessly as the ants were burnt to a crisp. Shiki released the Jutsu and subsequently kicked this any hill over as well. Shiki watched the clumps of broken dirt and dead ants go flying as he stood over the mound. With a few simple hand movements Shiki turned this ant hill into a grave.

Shiki stood over the insect grave and smiled at his work. The Insecticide was upon them and its name was Shiki. Walking across the water Shiki felt like a dark messiah to the insects on the courtyard. There across the water he could already see the next ant mound in the distance. He imagined the ant sentries were already warning the citizens about their encroaching doom. Shiki continued his slow march towards them. In Shiki’s mind the ants were playing sirens for evacuation from the approaching titian of death. As Shiki neared the ant mound he grew excited with mounting anticipation. Once more he made the water grip technique.

The snake made its way over the stone and crept along the path toward the ants. The ants were taken unaware as the water snake smashed into the tunnel of the ant hill. It began to force its way into the tunnel and stretched across all the different paths and tunnels in an attempt to “strangle” the tunnel. The water filled up flooding the caverns and passageways. Shiki waited until the water snake stopped moving downwards. Shiki took this as the sign that the snake had filled the mound completely. Releasing the Jutsu Shiki began forming more hand signs. This was the fun part. Slapping his hands together Shiki throwing his right hand palm outwards at the ant hill.

The lightning bug net extended outwards. This time Shiki noticed that the net was much faster, wider and seemed to carry more of an electric charge. The net hit the ant mound and the crackle and sizzle of the organic matter being electrocuted drowned out the ants screams as they were zapped to death. Shiki laughed manically as he electrocuted them. Releasing the jutsu Shiki raised his left leg and crushed the ant mound downwards. There was no movement from any ants and Shiki smiled brightly as he realized he had exterminated the last mound of ants.

Shiki had completed killing the ants. Now there was only the wasp nests that needed to be dealt with. This would require a whole new plan. Shiki didn’t want to deal with a mass of stinging and flying wasps. What he needed was a way to draw all the wasps from their nests. A way to catch them with the lightning net and another move that would finish off the wasps. Judging by the size of the wasps Shiki was going to play it safe and assume that one lightning net alone wouldn’t be enough to take down a group of waps.

Shiki thought about it. Eventually he decided he would use a combination of lightning techniques to take it down. The plan was to create two lighting clones. One would use the lightning ball technique to knock the wasp nest down while Shiki and another clone would cast the lightning bug neck. The wasps would be undoubtable in their anger and make a “literal” bee line toward the initial clone. When they were in the air the two nets should be enough to take down the wasps.

Shiki watched the cherry blossom trees with an extreme vigilance keeping an eye out for the wasps. There was no real clear indicator where the wasps had set up their home. Shiki only knew they were in the actual trees themselves probably hanging on a branch further up the tree. After watching for a while Shiki noticed a wasp land in the mud by the pond and grab a few mandible full of mud to go and preseumably build the nest up. This might be a bit of trouble since the mud would make the wasp nest resistant to his techniques. Perhaps he would need to change up the lightning ball with a water technique.

Shiki kept his eyes and the red wasp as it flew back into the tree’s. Shiki wandered over to the suspected tree. There up on the higher branches was a large wasp nest perhaps the size of a football. Shiki gathered some chakra and summoned forth a water clone. The water clone looked up at the wasp nest and seemed to be judging the distance. Shiki figured that the water spit technique would be enough to knock down the nest. After it was knocked down Shiki should be able to handle the rest. But not wanting to risk anything Shiki decided that 2 lightning clones would keep the chance of getting stung to a minimum.

Shiki summoned forward a substantial amount of lightning Chakra and began to form his hand signals. Releasing the Jutsu took a lot out of Shiki. Almost falling to knee Shiki struggled to steady himself. The water clone grabbed him and helped him stay upright. Shiki needed to take it easy from this point forward or risk collapsing or making a simple mistake. Regardless, in front of Shiki stood two very healthy shadow clones that had enough chakra inside of them to cast multiple lightning nets a piece.

The water clone began to take aim. Forming chakra in its mouth the water clone made it’s respective handseals and shot a jet of water out of its mouth moving about 9 meters a second. Shiki felt sick as he saw water coming out of the clones mouth. It reminded him of the disgusting feeling of casting the Jutsu and the feel of the strong borderline projectile spittle. The sensation was almost like throwing up at a speed of 9 meters a second. Shiki didn’t have time to reminisce to much as the water struck the wasp nest head on.

The wasp nest fell down from the tree and hit the stone courtyard and shattered. The muddy wasp nest split open as at least thirty wasps came buzzing furiously out of the nest desperate to defend their home and larva. The wasps were searching desperately for the one assaulting their home. Seeing the water clone the wasps began to swarm toward the clone. The clone started running toward Shiki and the two lighting clones. Panic alight in his eyes. This was Shiki’s moment.

Shiki straightened his and looked to his left and right getting ready to save his water clone from a gruesome end. The three of them made the same seals quickly and in unison. Then almost like it was a rehearsal all of them cast the justu at the same time. Slapping their hands together they all extended their right arms outward and cast a volley of lightning bug nets out at the swarm of wasps. The swarm of wasps collided with the first net. There was an audible zap as the wings of the wasps were stunned. Still swarming in anger and pinching their mandibles together the wasps weren’t even fully paralyzed. They were still angry and trying to attack. Though at this point they were no longer flying just falling forward towards the second net.

When the second net hit the swarm of wasps they became fully paralyzed as the bright blue-white net electrocuted them stopping the majority of their simple organs. With their hearts barely breathing the wasps were totally incapacitated as the lightning net zapped them within an inch of their lives. They were helpless and probably within an inch of their lives. Their bodies began to seize up as the second wave of electricity coursed through their muscles and nervous system. Their wings had become charred and unusable for flight as they continued to fall into the third wave of electric netting.

The next wave hit like a truck. The lightning net covered the wasp and entrapped them in a wall of electric death. The electrical surge was the same strength of the first two but the third wave was traveling through the bugs after they had already lost their electrical resistances. The wave of electricity stopped their hearts and burned their eyes to the point of blindness. The electricity set the wings of the wasps on fire and singed their bodies causing them to smoke up. Their legs twitched violently as their nervous system was over run from the lightning current.

Shiki watched as the dead wasps fell to the floor in a brilliant lighting orchestra. The bright blue nets left a bright after image in Shiki’s eyes that appeared whenever he blinked like he had stared at the sun. There on the floor was 30 or so burnt wasps. Shiki smiled in triumph as he looked at the dead wasps. This was his greatest victory. He had conquered the wasp nest and won freedom for his backyard.

Shiki smiled and flashed his teeth as he walked over to the dead wasps. This was his land and he would be dammed if he let them desecrate the home of his ancestors. Shiki raised his right foot and one by one began to crush the charred remains of the wasps on the floor. There was a satisfying crunch as each one of them flattened under his weight. The clones smiled and joined in on the action. Especially the water one wo seemed the most keen on destroying the bodies of the beasts that had caused him so much terror just a few minutes ago.

Shiki watched the savage blood lust as the singed bodies of the wasps were stomped into oblivion. Releasing his clones they reverted back into water and lightning respectfully. The water crackled as the lightning clones electricity coursed through the water. The lightning ran through the water sparking and causing steam to rise up off the ground. There was the occasional bolt of electricity would arc out of the puddle.

Shiki took several slow steps over to the wasp nest. There among the muddy nasty home of the vile creatures was something straight from a monster show. Crawling around inside the much and mire was disgusting maggot looking larva. This is what Shiki hated the most about the wasps. Every part of their life style was disgusting. Early on in their life they were nasty looking bugs that crawled around and did gross bug shit. Until of course, they grew up and became a dangerous, godless, killing machine. These awful things were equipped with sharp mandibles, wings and a giant ass that could only be used to inflict pain.

These awful things would fly around and kill caterpillars. Which, turned into butterflies which were one of the few insects that Shiki really didn't just absolutely hate. Also, these wasps had a tendency to eat and kill silk worms which was one of the reason's why silk was so damn expensive. Shiki was a man who appreciated an expensive article of clothing. Shiki felt no remorse as he watched the maggots crawl around in confusion in the mud.

Shiki felt the hate fill his heart as he walked over standing... No towering over the larva as they panicked. They continued to squirm around doing their gross bug shit. They crawled and squirmed their way on top of each other in an effort to get out of the sunlight and avoid Shiki's gave. Shiki raised his right foot and brought the edge of his boot down on one of the larva. It gave a sickening pop as its guts came bursting out of its mouth all along the rocks.

It was time to finish this. Shiki made several handseals and prepared himself to cast his jutsu. After a few quick movements Shiki slapped his hands together and threw his right arm outwards. A large electric bug net came flying out of Shiki's hands, crackling through the air as it approached the helpless larva. Shiki smiled as the net smothered the insects and their wet mud home. The lightning crackled and sparked violently in a gorgeous blue-white aura. The bugs were dead. The back yards was free at last.

Charged Projectile
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Charges a metal throwing projectile with lightning adding lightning damage.
Special: ---
Drawback: Can only do enough to slightly numb and paralyze (Only for a quarter of a post), if the user tries to make it stronger, it will end up backfiring and paralyzing their hand. Can only charge up to 5 slots at once
Description: The user holds as many kunai/shuriken, or metal projectile for that matter, as they can, up to 5 slots in their hands, and charges them with electricity. Extra lightning damage is added which will slightly paralyze or numb. The projectiles will shock the opponent weakly even if they don't make contact, but at least come close to.
Limit: Lightning release.

The next Jutsu Shiki was going to learn today was something that would hopefully augment his attacks and make his ranged moves a little meant more lethal. The move itself didn’t require any handsigns which was rather weird. But Shiki already had a lot of practice with the basic premise of this Jutsu using the Cathode belt. This Jutsu was called the “Charged Projectile”. It did exactly what is sounded like it did. Gathering up a small amount of chakra the user would be able to change it into lightning and store that lightning inside of a projectile.

The thrown projectile would then be able to shock or paralyze the target upon getting struck. One cool thing about the Jutsu was that it didn’t require you to actually hit the target with the weapon to cause a minor shock. If the projectile so much as came near the opponent the electricity would be able to arc off of it and cause minor electrical shocks. This meant that Shiki could turn weapons that were relatively lacking in the lethal department. Like his senbon, and allow them to have another status changing effect. Such as numbing or paralysis.

This jutsu would be very valuable because it would allow Shiki to get his lightning chakra into the fight without having to spend a massive amount of Chakra on his moves. Furthermore, the fact that the jutsu requires no set up other then simply holding onto a metal weapon. The jutsu was a simple one, using the basic principles of the cathode belt Shiki simply needed to move his Chakra into the weapon and then will the weapon to hold the charge being careful not to overload the weapon.

If the weapon became over loaded with electricity, much like the cathode belt, the metal could only hold so much energy before it tried to release itself. In this case to much lightning energy placed inside of it would cause the electricity to fire back into Shiki’s hand and paralyze him. Shiki decided it was time to practice. Walking out into the courtyard Shiki put three senbon in each hand and readied himself to throw. Shiki channeled a little bit of chakra and converted it into lightning. He then channeled a slight amount of lightning chakra inside of each senbon.

Shiki could tell just from touch that the senbon had a dormant electrical charge inside of them now simply looking for something to discharge into. Shiki threw all six senbon at the target. There was a low hum from the lightning as the needles went flying through the air. There were small bolts of electricity sparking in between the senbon as it soared at the target at about 10 meters a second. Striking the target the senbon embedded into the wooden target and discharged the electrical current. Shiki smiled. Another day another Jutsu.
