It had been young Ikana’s first day after her graduation of class and her first full day of being a full fledged genin. She had been told that being a genin wasn't very hard at all, but she was encouraged to train herself for the future. Ikana Miyamoto was a young girl only eight years old. Many praised her skill to be accepted as a genin at such a young age. Currently she had been located at a small training ground made up of several training logs and a grassy field well trimmed and cut. Now what was she going to train? A nice Jonin had happened to give her a book of some Raiton Chakra nature jutsu exercises, and she wanted to learn them all in one day.


Opening the first scroll given to her, she had read through it carefully. “Raiton:Raikyuu no Jutsu? Yosh. I'll learn this no problem.” The young girl had taken some time to memorize the handseals for this jutsu going through each one slowly before attempting to cast the technique. Going through the handseal sequence, the girl had felt her chakra fuel the jutsu as she converted it into Raiton Chakra by making it vibrate at a certain frequency. “Raiton:Raikyuu no Jutsu.” Seeing Raiton Jutsu was dangerous, she had started with a small amount which could steadily increase at a later time if the technique proved to be a failure. She from experience knew that Raiton Jutsu trained hazardously could lead to numb arms and damaged nerves. It was always best to take precautions to prevent this. She loved and adored ninjutsu, and so she took care to know how to cast them effectively and utilize their full potential.


Focusing on the technique, the young girl had saw a spark of electricity within her palm before she increased the chakra input. Soon more sparks had appeared in her palm before a literal ball of electricity had formed in her hands. She had taken the opportunity to marvel at the technique within her left hand as she saw it hadn't been touching her skin but simply floating. Ikana had then done a sensible test to see what the jutsu would do. She had thrown the electrical orb towards one of the wooden logs located in the training field as hard as she could. Taking a single step back with her right foot, she had thrown the ball of electricity towards the closest log to witness the results.


The jutsu like most lightning jutsu was decently fast. The electrical jutsu had slammed into the training log releasing a discharge of electrical energy. What she had saw was that the log had been burnt slightly around the center and had a small bit of smoke rising from the area of impact. Generally she could tell this jutsu was not meant for combat and more for practicing the Raiton element. That wasn't wasn't a problem, she was doing it to get better at manipulating Raiton anyways. “Man. This technique is so cool! I burned that log like a pro!” The young eight year old was bubbly and easily excitable, but she hasn't even gotten to the good stuff yet.


She had performed the handseal sequence once more before putting the exact amount of Chakra she had placed in last time for it's correct formulation. “Raiton:Raikyuu no Jutsu!” The yellow ball of electricity that formed between her hands had stabilized quickly, and the young child had thrown it towards the wooden log yet again. The ball had shocked the whole log as the smoke had intensified before leaving charred bark on the wood of the log. The young girl was satisfied quite sure she had mastered this technique to the sufficient level. Rolling the scroll and placing it within her jacket pocket, the child had taken out the next scroll placing it onto the floor of the training field. She had much more training to do and a lot to train.


She however thought of the potential for this jutsu. She could probably utilize it once using a Suiton jutsu to make it combat viable. She would make sure to learn some more Suiton jutsu in the future to compliment her Raiton sooner or later. Ikana had practiced forming the handsigns one more time for this jutsu for the third times the charm effect. A ball of focused electricity had formed as she had lost a small bit of Chakra yet again. She had hurled it for the training log...and at this time the log had been charred further until the log crackled and split from the center into several pieces easily enough. The young girl's eyes widened in mild fascination as she saw the log break apart. Now if only the Lightning Ball had done this the first time! She would have loved it so much more if it had. Giddy with delight, the child opened the next scroll reading it's contents.

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.

Now the next technique Ikana had read through had required no handseals at all. This was rather interesting as the girl had read through the notes and theory of the technique trying to comprehend it. It was essentially the most basic concept of all Raiton jutsu, but channeled through an item before throwing said item at a target. Ikana was rather surprised at her fortune of finding this technique seeing she had plenty of metal items on her. She most likely would not be using it on her metal greaves or gauntlets however. Ikana had reached into one of the compartments of her vest before pulling out two kunai. She understood the general concept of the technique of having one's chakra course through an object imbuing it with electricity, but she didn't know how hard it might be.


The young girl clenched her fist in her left hand as she would focus Raiton Chakra as a rapid vibration of her chakra through her metal kunai. The kunai had sparked and had been enveloped in electricity as she had spun in it in her fingertips. She had looked at yet another wooden log to attack with her new jutsu. Throwing the kunai as hard as she could, she had seen that the log was penetrated rather deeply with a solid thunk noise. She didn't know how this jutsu worked on normal people, but she knew Raiton jutsu enhanced penetrating damage as well as shock damage as a bonus. Upon seeing the log pierced so deeply, she widened her eyes before bursting into a smile. She was proud of herself for this small accomplishment as most children are, but had nobody to share it with. Well...no matter. She burst into a small excited cheer before wanting to test it some more. First...she had to retrieve her kunai.


After some difficulty pulling the bladed throwing weapon from the wooden log, she had come to a realization. Kunai were also effective daggers as well as throwing knives. Perhaps she could use this technique to augment her hand to hand fighting abilities. She wasn't entirely sure of this, but she wondered if it would work while still within her hands. The young genin had decided to put the second kunai away back into her vest compartment before holding her kunai within a reverse grip stance. She had clenched her hand yet again before charging her weapon with a small bit of electricity before allowing it to reach its full potential. She had experimentally swung it once and twice as she entered her basic academy Taijutsu style kata. Approaching the log, she had kicked it right on the side before aiming a diagonal slice across the log. She had not only pierced the log deeply, but delivered a deep slash across the log with the augmentation of the piercing damage and overall sharpness. This may prove to be her favorite technique she's learned as of yet as she knew she could use this rather well.


She was by all means no master of Raiton Jutsu, and in fact was only a novice of what it had to offer. She wanted to learn so much more about the world of jutsu and wanted to be the very best. Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, she wanted to be skilled at each aspect. She looked to the sparking weapon in her hand wondering what would happen if she were to focus a bit more electricity into the technique. In her mind, perhaps it would make the technique more powerful if she had done so. Therefore, she foolishly went to test this hypothesis by channeling more chakra into the object of choice. She wasn't aware of the consequences seeing this jutsu was different than most others seeing it channeled its electricity into a metal item. Her mind thought it would cause the sparks to grow and the Lightning aura around it to increase, but in reality it was destined to fail.


Her hand had been shocked with a force of electricity as her fingers and everything up to the wrist went numb. She yelped as it hurt her, and she dropped the kunai. She without even thinking about it had teared up for a moment. She wasn't going to be wailing, but she put her eyes her other arm as she was only eight after all. She was used to pain, but that didn't mean she didn't deserve to cry. The little girl had shook her free hand before it slowly had feeling returning to it. Now she knew that charging too much chakra was not the solution to making this jutsu more powerful. She's mastered the general concept of this jutsu and as she wiped her tears she decided to move onto the next jutsu scroll. She after taking control of herself took her fallen kunai slowly putting it into her jacket coat pocket. Her hand was singed and sensitive still, but it wasn't anything serious and would probably go away in a few hours. She was going to be just fine, but now knew she had to be more cautious with her actions in the future.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu spotted a young eight year old in a nearby training field to the dojo. By the headband on her head, she was probably one of the new graduating class from the academy. He leaned up against a tree with his arms crossed and watched her try out some of the ration jutsus. He snickered slightly when he saw her backfire, the charged projectile one. He personally has never used that particular one, but he didn't really throw his weapons either.

His shockingly white hair and birth marked face gave away what clan he was if not who he was. He stood there with a finely crafted sword on his hip, and wearing a tactical vest full of weapons. He had a second less fine sword hung over his shoulder along his back. On Ryutatsu's arm was a strange bracer gauntlet thing that left his fingers full unencumbered and mobile but protected the back of his hand. His dark clothing really spoke of his shinobi aspirations. On his head was a pair of neat looking sniper goggles and around his neck was his Shinobi headband.

In his vest rig he had a slew of weapons and gadgets, the weight of metal was an easy thing for him to carry for it was his usual load-out. In easy reach in the leg rig was two knives, and two kunai. In the waist pack was fifty small steel marbles, sixteen steel caltrops, two obfuscating eyes, and fifteen darts. In his vest rig he had a forty five hira shuriken, fifteen bat-shaped steel boomrangs, a pouch of metal shavings and dust, and thirty bo shuriken.

He was a young boy but was already on the large side at five foot five inches and over hundred and twenty five pounds. He had a lean build and his well worn clothing spoke of his dedication to training. Those sensitive enough would feel a field of currents just flowing from him.

Raiton: Hirameki no Jutsu (Lightning Flash)
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes a blinding flash that can disorientate enemies (up to 10m)
Special: Rat
Drawback: ---
Description:The user holds the rat handseal and closes their eyes, gathering chakra into them. The user then opens them suddenly, and emits an extremely bright flash from their eyes that can temporarily blind and/or disorientate enemies. The blinding effect usually lasts one turn.
Limit: Lightning Release

Young Ikana had been reading through the next ninjutsu as she was unaware of her distant observer as she had been reading through the details of the next scroll. It was a ninjutsu meant to obstruct the vision of enemies. Based on the general description of it, it seemed to be a jutsu meant to be used when in presence of allies to assist the caster, and or to be meant to prevent an enemy from casting genjutsu through blinding them. Interestingly enough, the jutsu sounded like some sort of ningenjutsu. She decided she wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, and would learn this technique to the fullest extent. Something was bothering the young girl however, and it wasn't the young boy's flowing current.

Cookies. She was to make cookies for the receptionist and the staff working at the Raikage tower. She didn't know how to bake very well though, and buying store made cookies sounded rather thoughtless. She shook that thought aside for the moment as she had read that the jutsu did not require a large amount of chakra, and it warned that over excessive amounts of it could lead to the user being blinded. She had set aside the thoughts of baking for another time until she would finish her training. She still had about three or so chakra exercises left for the basics of the Raiton element. Holding the rat handseal, the girl had closed her eyes beginning to channel her chakra for the jutsu. She had read enough about the technique, and of course it was easy enough to remember how to use said technique. All she needed now was some practice, and to be careful of avoiding hurting herself. 

Her chakra had been internally charged instead of externally. If a Hyuuga were there, they would be able to see chakra channeling from the various tenketsu channeling through the brain and to the optic nerves and then the eyes. She had put in as much chakra as she had for her charged weapon ninjutsu technique the first time. As she opened her eyes, a bright flashing of light had filled the training area and illuminating the scenery in a golden flash. Her eyes had felt sensitive and tingly as she was still able to see, although there wasn't much to look at other than the area covered in her golden light. She had released the rat sign, cutting the chakra flow from her eyes returned to their normal blueish hue. Before, not that anyone would be able to see, it appeared as if the sclera were glowing bright yellow at that moment.

She had rubbed her eyes as she was not used to using any sort of ninjutsu like this. She had thought about it's usefulness, and had already immediately come up with several uses outside of combat and inside of it. She could use it to illuminate dark locations to some extent surely. Of course, there was also the use of blinding enemies as to avoid the gaze of genjutsu and or to allow the enemies to be unable to see to aim their jutsu, shuriken, kunai, or other such attacks. Ikana was almost done with this technique, although she couldn't help but wonder what else she could use it for. She hadn't been able to see for sure, but she wondered how well this light could reflect off of surfaces or off of metals. She would experiment with the jutsu at a later time.

She had observed her shuriken and had imagined that by throwing them, or placing such weapons in specific places, she could focus the light against them to extend the shining range of this technique. She didn't know for sure, but a young genius was being born with an inquiring mind on the shinobi arts. She for now, would forget this thought as she would work on her other jutsu. After this, she would most likely buy herself a journal to record her thoughts in as to work on improvements of her ninjutsu techniques. She would figure this out at a later date. She didn't quite realize that to pull of this jutsu on the first attempt, could mean she had talent. Talent to be harnessed.

Ryutatsu chuckled and shook his head. " If you want some teachers to help with your lightning, Down the road is a dojo, known as the Senri's Lightning Dojo. It's specifically to help Raiton and Kenjutsu. Check it out." Without saying much else, he left the training area.

Limit: Lightning Release

The young genin Ikana Miyamoto had been looking into the next scroll to train in. She was surprised by her sudden visitor and she would stop by his training dojo after she had gotten the basic training exercise jutsu down. She wouldn't want to bother a dojo with such trivial things and she at least wanted to go beyond the basics. She looked down at the scroll grasping the theory of the jutsu. It was taking and channeling electricity through each of one's fingertips and then flinging them out to the enemy. She would have slowly formed her handseals over and over until she was familiar with the movements and would be able to remember it well. “So. It's gonna numb my fingers after I use it? I was never any good with a sword anyways. Although...not being able to use ninjutsu as well isn't good. Well, it's for training! What can possibly go wrong?!”

She had stood in front of another training log dummy as she concentrated the chakra in each handseal she weaved. She had then saw her right hand would spark but not enough chakra was used. A small crackle had formed causing Ikana’s hair to spike and turn puffy. She stopped for a second as she took out a small hand mirror to look at herself and then she giggled in carefree happiness at the way she looked. She smoothed out her hair as she would then turn her attention back to the training log. Her mirror was placed away at the moment. She learned that she hadn't used enough chakra just from seeing the jutsu spark once and then fizzle out as if it were nothing. Time to try the jutsu again.

She had quickly formed the handseals yet again, but with this time around twice as much chakra. She closed her eyes and focused the chakra on her fingertips as she would feel the chakra channel through and slowly begin to convert. She imagined the jutsu to be much like the Raikyuu no Jutsu in theory but smaller and with multiple fingers as a simple change in shape transformation. She would focus on how much chakra was distributed to each finger also as she wouldn't want her fingers blown off in some accident because of her negligence. Then, her eyes snapped open as she would call, “Raiton:Raikou Yama no Jutsu!”

She had fired ten lightning projectiles from her fingertips at the wooden training dummy to see electricity pierce into the dummy and shock the log inside out. She had been surprised at the damage it did as the log had several marble sized holes into its body. She knew that the jutsu would not take a large amount of chakra, and the greatest use of the technique was to launch a grand amount of fast and small attacks difficult for the enemy to dodge. Assuming it actually hit, she'd imagine it would hurt rather badly and debilitating her foes. She would write this in her journal later for what she's discovered and what she might be able to improve with the technique. It was time to move onto the next technique...but she wanted to use it one more time.

Using her handseal sequence one more time, she had charged ten more marble orbs on her fingertips before launching them at the log. The log had been pierced yet again and with the force and sharp cutting power, the log had split in fourths as the log was broken down. She had succeeded her training with this jutsu as she suddenly felt her fingers were awfully numb feeling and tingling. She would rub her fingers together and shake out her arms as eventually the numbness disappeared and her fingers felt normal yet again. She sighed to herself as she would pull out the next scroll to train in. The little girl was getting a little tired, and was a bit hungry also.

Suiton - Teppodama
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Allows a user to shoot a ball of water out of their mouth.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: The Teppodama is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Water Element. The ninja does some hand seals which then causes a big ball of water to come from the users mouth and then hit their target.
Limit: Water Release

Ikana had just found a deal on a C-Rank jutsu scroll that she just could not refuse. After helping a granny with some minor chores, she had been gifted a ninjutsu scroll that she somehow managed to get her hands on. It was a Suiton Jutsu and that was sweet seeing she didn't know too many water related techniques. She had currently been at a local training ground with nothing really special occupying it as she had been reading through the jutsu scroll details. She decided it would be best to understand the theory of the technique and memorize it's handseals before attempting to actually do the technique. What she saw, was that this jutsu was a little bit different compared to Raiton Jutsu. It course she should expect that seeing they are two completely different nature transformations.

The theory of the jutsu was to convert the user's chakra into water which would be expelled through the throat. This itself wasn't odd to her as she was used to hearing about how the fire, earth, and even wind elements were like this. However, young little Ikana had never done such a thing before. Looking through the handseals, she saw the handseals were more commonly associated with the horse and bird signs as compared to the Raiton rat and ram. She would experimentally go through the handseals a few times to make sure she got used to the motion. Of course, the first few times she fumbled here and there as she gradually attempted to increase the speed of the performance. She was still a novice at Ninjutsu, and she had so much to work on.

About ten minutes later, she had decided to give the jutsu a try. She didn't have too much experience in Suiton and or jutsu involving the mouth, so she hoped she would be alright. Forming a short set of handseals at a moderate speed, she had channeled her chakra through each one. Suddenly, she felt chakra build up in her chest and lungs as it traveled up and towards her mouth at an alarming rate. She wasn't prepared for this, so the end result ended up with Ikana soon vomiting a large volume of water onto the floor on her knees. Her chest felt like it was burning, and Ikana sounded pained as she coughed and gagged for air. It was incredibly painful as she wasn't prepared for this. Perhaps she used too much chakra. She would make sure to start lower next time and build up more chakra as needed.

Ikana slowly stood on her feet as she slowly performed the handseals yet again for this jutsu. The chakra had moved slower this time as she willed it to be so. She had felt it go through her chest and up her esophagus before shooting out water from her mouth almost like a water fountain onto the ground. This was progress, but obviously showed she needed to work more on putting more chakra into it and then using chakra control to shoot it out as a giant large ball. Therefore, she had decided to experiment with her chakra and work on the technique. She had felt a little more confident that she could do this technique right. She wasn't the greatest practitioner of Suiton, but she was trying.

Focusing her chakra, Ikana had performed all of the handseals before taking a deep breath. As the water had built up within her chest, she had felt it condense into a ball before it had began to shoot up. As the ball had come up, she had opened her mouth to shoot a fast moving ball of water, but within a three feet travel distance...it landed and hit the floor with a thud. She realized right off the bat that the jutsu lacked several things. The jutsu lacked power, distance, and lacked force seeing it didn't even disturb the grass she stood on. Now this surely was from lack of practice and she could strengthen that easily enough. Now, she found that working on dummies were some of the best ways to test a jutsu's effectiveness.

[eyequincy]

Ikana Miyamoto had gotten the very basic of her new technique down, although it still needed many improvements. She had found she needed to use about the same amount of chakra as her more powerful Raiton Jutsu, but she had to build up the chakra and release it all at one time. Learning ninjutsu wasn't something that was difficult for Ikana. She had figured out how a ninjutsu works decently enough if not from her books then from hands on experience. She had reperformed the handseals for her new jutsu as she once again felt the chakra build up in her chest. She had let it build within her chest as it expanded to a nearly impossible level. She had then focused. She concentrated on the result she wanted, to release a ball of water flying out straight. Thus, she released all of the water chakra from her mouth at once in the attempt to perform this technique.

"Suiton:Teppodama!" The young child had fired a giant watery ball which flew at a moderately fast speed towards a tree. Ikana had heard a loud clacking noise as the oakwood tree had lost some of it's leaves as her water jutsu hit it's mark true. Ikana had looked at the results before feeling as if something was off. She had been getting closer to the result, but felt as if the jutsu was not as good as it was supposed to be. Yes, she most certainly has not mastered it yet. It needs far more work before it can be considered perfected. The jutsu although shaking the tree a little bit, had lacked full force and speed in her opinion. It was slow enough so that any half decent shinobi could dodge it. Therefore, she decided she would work on it again until she was satisfied. She was supposed to work alongside a bunch of other Shinobi, and seeing they were probably hoping for some semi decent Suiton and Raiton, she would get to work on that.

She had thought of what other Suiton jutsu she knew and she sweat dropped when she realized none would help her in her current training. Walking up to the tree, she had wanted to see the results of the bullet up close. She had put her hand onto the bark of the tree to see it was dented and broken somewhat. It was certainly progress, but she felt that she was still trying to make it like a Raiton Jutsu. Suiton was supposed to be easy going and able to flow, while Raiton was supposed to be fast, sharp, and flashy. Enough of those thoughts. Ikana wouldn't get anywhere if she was just going to be sitting there and thinking all day. She took a deep breath as she weaved through the handseals yet again. This time, she would do it better than the last. She had to concentrate. Let the water chakra in her system flow.

Ikana felt another surge of water chakra in her chakra circulatory system as she felt it running through her again. Releasing the ball of water again, she questioned why it felt so unnatural and difficult. Was there some sort of barrier stopping her from progressing? Ikana had shot from her gullet yet another ball of water as it flew straight into the same tree she had been aiming at before. This time, the tree's bark had began to crack and splinter from being used as a training dummy. It obviously didn't appreciate being pelted with a random Genin's ninjutsu. She felt she had the basic of it down, but she was missing what she wanted from the jutsu. She wanted to perhaps make the jutsu sharper and or more powerful through development; refined. Ikana needed to take a small break from this and wrap her head around this.

Water was something that flowed and gathered naturally. It was a powerful element when utilized right and was incredibly painful. What step of her jutsu was she failing in? What did she have problems in within this ninjutsu technique? Ikana focused herself as she sat in a meditative pose. "Aaaah!" Ikana had attempted to focus her chakra reserves to flow through her body like the fluidity of water. She had circulated it as she had her eyes closed. Perhaps this would help her understand a little bit more about the Suiton jutsu she was trying to learn. She was so close to mastering the technique, she could taste the water in her mouth. The taste of victory was salty.

[eyequincy]

Ikana Miyamoto was proud of her work thus far, as she felt she got far into the technique. Redoing the same handseals yet again, she had put into the jutsu a C-Rank amounts worth of chakra as her body would now seem to more easily focus on the production of Suiton Chakra. She had been thinking nothing but allowing the water to flow and to go through her body. The water would more easily build up within her chest as she took a deep breath. It was now or never. She had felt confident in the mastery of this jutsu and felt that if she could do it correctly a few more times, she could move on with her training. As the chakra built up, so did the force in the young child's chest. After a while, she had decided that it was time to fire her jutsu off into the distance. Taking a step forward, she had opened her mouth firing the water bullet as the Kanji for the technique would appear behind her while she shot it from her gullet. She had called out the name of her technique, "Suiton:Teppodama!" The ball of water had flown from her mouth.

The next event occurred rather nicely as Ikana imagined. By mastering the technique, the ball of water had flew with greater speeds and pressures before slamming into the same injured tree Ikana Miyamoto had fired at before. This time, the bullet had slammed into the bark with enough force and intensity to crack the tree on the third usage of it. The young girl widened her eyes and she began to laugh as the tree had fallen backwards crashing onto the ground with a loud thud. Ikana had felt more accomplished than ever before seeing she had reached a new level of development. She has grown slightly more as a person, and with this jutsu she hoped she would be able to make a difference in the future. However, she had far more to train than just this water jutsu. She had three days to train before heading off to the orphanage. What was she to do in that meantime? She would find more Suiton and Raiton Jutsu to develop and work in she supposed.

She had taken out her journal beginning to write possible uses of the Suiton Jutsu she just learned as well as some ideas on how to more effectively utilize it for her future. She had also written up how the jutsu felt like when it was being used, her thoughts of how to improve the jutsu, and also the signs and theory of the jutsu. She had written a reflection on why she thought the jutsu was effective, and then finally doodled a ball of water on the page with her pencil. The little girl had then ran off to the training ground training dummies rather than destroying more trees. Hopefully, some lucky wood cutter might take this tree and maybe sell it for some money later. Ikana Miyamoto had finally found her destination along with several wooden training dummies in the shape of people. Some held weapons and some were plain and standing still. Time for her to test her jutsu on humanoid shaped beings. She had wanted to work on her next training jutsu for the Raiton element. Performing the handseals, she would prepare to launch her jutsu a final time. 

Yet another familiar feel of water chakra rushing through her system. The movement now began to feel natural to Ikana after repetitious trials of practice with the jutsu. The pit of water had been growing from within her stomach as it would then flow upwards through her esophagus. Her chest would puff as did her cheeks as Ikana Miyamoto had called out the name of her technique. "Suiton:Teppodama!" As she fired off her ninjutsu technique, she had aimed for the training dummy closest to her. She had not been too surprised to see the dummy had taken the brunt of the blow to be sent flying back. The wooden dummy had several new cracks along it's body as it was now soaking wet with water. She saw the dummy skid perhaps two to three feet backwards and she imagined what would happen if she were to use that jutsu on a real person. She was certainly interested in the thought as she wondered if an enemy would be able to stand back up after taking the brunt of such a technique. Seeing she mastered the jutsu and was a licensed Shinobi, perhaps one day she would find out. For now, she had other agendas to complete.

With her training completed, Ikana Miyamoto had taken her copy of the Suiton:Teppodama scroll before neatly putting it away in her jacket pocket. She grinned to herself as she thought about her experience in learning this Suiton jutsu and she hoped to learn some more cool jutsu later. She thought of her struggles with the technique and the Chakra she exhausted while training for it. She was sure she at least had enough juice to train in one more C-Class jutsu. After this, she was going to get some taijutsu training done if at all possible. A mind must be as balanced as the body in order for there to be success and for one to be a truly splendid Shinobi. Now, she had opened her next scroll and had began to get to work.

Ikana Miyamoto was training again in the art of Raiton as to strengthen her mastery of the element her nation was known for. This jutsu was one that was a short distance taijutsu amplification attack. It was meant to paralyze any foes within her touch, and so it seemed like an effective jutsu for her to have seeing she lacked techniques which were for close range combat. At times there would be no time for handseals, that was certain. She thought again of what this technique would be useful for and how it could be utilized. Taking a brief pause to think, she sat on a large boulder to contemplate usages and handiness in situations.

It was a technique that required physical contact against a target and rendered them paralyzed on the limb that was touched. It required raiton chakra to be gathered on the palm of one of her hands and then pushed outward into the skin of an enemy to damage their nerves. Based on the vague description, the technique left that limb paralyzed for a short period of time which meant it would surely give her an edge in a taijutsu battle. She was a hard worker and she was determined to master this technique in one day. Opening the scroll, she had looked carefully at the short handseal sequence keeping in mind to memorize it. It would most certainly be important for her to remember it.

Practicing the handseal sequence a few times, to get it memorized, she decided now was the time to perform the technique for real. She figured seeing this was a constant emission of electrical chakra, she'd have to be frugal with the amount of chakra outputted. “Raiton: Yusuburu Kasugai no Jutsu.” She focused the chakra, gradually increasing the output in her right palm. “Come on! Gotta keep on pushing!” She was channeling the electricity with greater intensity by straining her nerves a bit, but then the Chakra burned out. She was pushing the jutsu too hard and now it failed. “Well...that certainly could have gone a little better.”

She shook her hand to feel a light burn, but it wasn't anything she wouldn't recover from. Reforming the handseals, Ikana had charged electricity in her left palm. Shouting the name of her jutsu, she again channeled electricity in her palm before attempting to grow a greater intensity in the technique. Blue lightning danced in her palm, and upon gaining some control over the technique, she aimed to release the electrical charge onto a rock to see the result. She generally aimed to just press her palm into it, wondering if there was any real change that was going to result from it. The smoking had showed there was something happening after all. As she pressed her palm onto the stone, she could feel the electricity constantly flow from her palm to the rock.

The rock began to crack slightly as some of the stones had levitated almost. Several sparks of electricity had flown from the stone before Ikana cut off the chakra flow. Perhaps she should use this jutsu on a more organic target or maybe even a living thing if she could. It was important to see if her training was working out to the best extent. Trees were plentiful partners to work with of course. The young child also considered working and experimenting with water. This jutsu would work well with it that is if she could actually touch her opponent. She took a second to rest and observe the rock to see no heavy damage before moving onto the next experiment. She would master this jutsu shortly enough. The eight year old was determined as she was young.

Young Ikana had found herself a suitable vessel to test her jutsu on. Her old friend, the tree. She knew the jutsu was decent against earth but wondered now how it worked on trees. She didn’t have anything living to test it on so she would have to make due.
She was starting to understand a bit more about Raiton jutsu worked and Ikana was doing rather well in understanding the theory and application of Raiton jutsu in general. For this jutsu in general, Ikana was making some progress seeing she knew she was grasping it. She didn't know if the jutsu was paralyzing or not, but she did know that she knew the limit of the chakra output she could release without the jutsu failing. Now she wanted to see what happens on some other types of targets.

Forming the handsigns slowly, mindful of her burn, Ikana put chakra once again into her right palm. She realized that for this jutsu, she would need to be able to perform well in hand to hand combat. Typically seeing she had weapons and armor, she probably wouldn't be using this jutsu too much unless she found a way to send this through her blades. Then again, she did have a technique that was capable of coursing electricity through throwing weapons. It was a basic Raiton exercise and was simplistic by nature. Ikana then remembered the Dojo that was mentioned previously before by some strange visitor that taught excellent Raiton and also martial arts. That might be a good place to stop by.

Soon, lightning danced across Ikana's palm making a light buzzing noise. She curled her fingers slightly as she walked over to a nearby tree before wrapping her hand around the soft oak wood. The electricity coursed along the surface of the bark as immediately shreds of bark began to peel and burns spread along the tree. It was interesting and it fascinated Ikana. She imagined combining this technique with a Suiton Jutsu and using it on a person would be absolutely catastrophic. On the other hand, she could probably just use this technique well enough on it's own effectively. She however wished she could see more of an understanding on how this technique worked on living subjects. It was then that the little girl had an idea.

As she removed her hand from the bark of the tree, she deactivated the jutsu before observing there was a burn mark in the shape of her hand along the wood. It was absolutely interesting but she wondered if it would leave burn marks on humans or human bodies. The idea she had was perhaps she could catch a fish by the stream and see what would happen if she used the jutsu on it. If it didn't work out, that would be alright seeing she would at least have a good material for lunch later. It probably wouldn't taste that good if it was burned by the lightning though. Logic dictates that if the tree were to burn, the fish might also, but she needed to test it and see it happen.

Ikana walked off with the goal of finding a nearby stream and procuring herself some fish to test the technique on. She was thinking maybe it would cause the fish to spasm and react to the electricity. It might be cruel but she was hungry anyways. Seeing she was planning to stop by the Dojo later, she might as well practice some cooking anyways and bring them something yummy to have. Perhaps she could grill them or learn how to make fishcakes. Maybe make herself a nice fish soup and help send it over. "Man...learning on your own is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I wish I could have some help doing this."

Ikana had returned once she had been able to catch some fish with some struggle. She waited for them to jump in the air and used her Kunai to pin them to trees. She had been able to procure three fish for herself. They were of course fresh fish and she was sure that they were catfish although she didn't know much about fish or much anything else living in the water. The child had thought about some of the best ways to eat these creatures first. She knew that they were best prepared fried. Well, that was a good usage of her lightning jutsu she supposed. In all seriousness though, it was time for her to get back to work. She had placed the first fish against a flat stone she found and prepared the handseals for her technique. She could feel her chakra draining and being expended yet again. She couldn't afford to use this jutsu over and over again especially in the heat of combat.

This time, her right hand crackled with electricity with a bit more practiced ease. She had an easier time coursing electricity through her hand now and she had a good understanding of how much chakra this jutsu demanded. The stronger the output, the more chakra was expended at a rapid pace. Holding the fish down by the tail with her left hand, the right hand had been placed on the surface of the fish. Immediately the creature flopped rapidly against the stone and it's eyes rolled rapidly at the girl. It was revitalized as it moved with vigor, but in actuality it was because it was the electricity causing the fish to spasm rapidly. She then took her hand off the poor water creature as she looked to see the results.

It seemed that there was a slight burn from her hand being there for a while but this color was not a black charcoal but more of a pink. The skin was peeled to some extent and she understood now the function of the technique better. When she tried to shake the fish, it was stiff...more stiff than she expected as she accidentally locked up the muscles in it. However, after some shaking, the fish went limp with it's mouth agape. It looked rather painful by the look the fish was giving Ikana. She didn't look so happy at that, but she was happy that she had grasped the usage and concept of this ninjutsu. She might have to use it on someone else in the near future although that wasn't definite. 

Yusuburu Kasugai jutsu might work better with some other things like chains maybe or wires. She didn't know for sure but she was hoping to experiment with that at another time. She only had armor and blades to really channel electricity through and that wasn't something she was interested in right now. Usage of this jutsu is not just for limb paralysis but perhaps to paralyze the whole body if she could manage. Then at that moments she could launch a devastating counter attack. Wrapping the scroll information up into her jacket, Ikana was sure she was done here. She had to go home and start cooking something nice and tasty for the people at the Dojo.

She actually didn't know how many people lived there so she would make fried catfish fishcakes. She could probably make enough of those so that everyone could have a few. Three fish might not seem like much, but these fish were rather large and fat and she was sure she could make something simple out of these at least. 'I need to cut off the heads and leave them upside down to drain. The blood in a catfish is something that ruins the taste based on what I heard. I'll fry them and make some salsa for the nice people at the Dojo. Then maybe they might teach me something. Hmm...I haven't been training my Taijutsu in a while. Maybe I should work on that a little bit so that I don't get my butt handed to me. Most of my jutsu are for close range after all.' Thus Ikana left the training field to her home with her fish. She would head over to the Dojo immediately once her cooking was done.
