-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hotoka had just learned his new katon jutsu and he already started with the next one. Lookin up Hotoka saw a couple of clouds flying over and decided to start right away. He was about to launch the jutsu when Hotoka started to wonder how he should activate the jutsu. Appereantly it didnt need handseals so how should it be done then? Hotoka thought about it for a little while and thought about the Raikyuu. The Raikyuu came from your handpalm so the most logical explanation would be shooting lightning from your hand into the sky. So Hotoka tried that aproach. He stood focussed his chakra in his palm, saw the chakra get the shape of an electrical ball and shot it in the air. The ball went up and up and up untill Hotoka couldnt see the ball anymore. He waited a couple of minutes but nothing happened. So that'd mean that he had to do something else. Hotoka started trying to shoot his chakra in the air while making it electric. He moved his hand up and shot of a beam of chakra. It went in the air but hadn't anything electrical to it. Hotoka tried and tried and got nothing more than a couple of sparks flying around his hand. This was at a complete different level than the raikyuu.. Hotoka kept trying but again, got nothing more than a few sparks. So he tried something different. Just move his chakra up. Electrifying would come later. He aimed his hand up to the sky and shot his chakra in the air. It didnt came too high and again, nothing special about it. How should he do it then? Just try and try and waste chakra.. or just try to expand the electric charge little by little? He decided the last one since it'd probably look flashier.
(-_-') Hotoka kept shooting his chakra in the air, resulting it into becoming bigger and more sparks after trying it over 10 times. Hotoka could feel a little pain every time he shot the lightning up.. His wrist started to hurt more and more every time and after another hour he decided to stop and have dinner.

Hotoka sat there, thinking of how he should use this technique without hurting himself. Every time he used it he got more and more pain in his wrist. Hotoka kept thinking of this. How could he stop it. It was not that the pain was unbearable, it had an annoying pain to it, some kind of stinging. The best thing he could think of were rubber gloves but.. On the other hand, maybe he needed his claws instead, almost the exact opposite of his gloves. It was worth the shot. Hotoka put on his claws and pointed one hand up in the sky focused on the chakra in his palm and shot it up, resulting it into shooting up from the tips of his claws. He did felt something but it wasnt painfull, more a tingling feeling. After shooting up another time he kept feeling the tingling feeling, it was a bit weird but Hotoka preffered it over pain. Hotoka kept shooting stuff in the air and there came something out at times. It was a weak beam but seeing he started out with mer sparks, Hotoka found it quite good of himself. He tried and tried but didnt got anything special so he went thinking. Maybe he had to change the flow of chakra, instead of just a ball. And Hotoka went trying an other way of moving his chakra towards his claw. He began picturing his chakra swirling around him. He didnt shot his chakra up yet though, he electrified his chakra first. He kept converting his chakra into electricity. The longer he kept doing it the more he could see from it. It started out with some sparks shooting over around him, leaving Hotoka quite amused but the longer he kept it up the more sparks came flying around, and this time, also through him. It was beautifull to see, all these sparks flying so close, away and away from him. After doing this for a couple of minutes Hotoka was hurled in electricity. He thought he had enough to use and directed everything to the frame of the claw around his wrist. Once reaching the frame the electricity directly went to the tips of the claw and Hotoka unleashed a giant thunderbolt from his claw up the sky. Hotoka looked up with amazement and was now staring to the clouds. Electric shocks were flying from cloud to cloud and it kept going on for a while. Also, Hotoka noticed them becoming a little darker and there seemed to be more clouds. He kept looking at it but didnt saw anything happen and after a while the shocks dissapeared, causing the clouds to become brighter again. Hotoka was a bit dissapointed because of this but still a bit proud that he was able to get his lightning into the clouds. He preparred for another try but was called back, they were leaving again. Walking on Hotoka kept thinking about it and talking to himself, making the merchant quite interested. Damnit.. Hmm, maybe i should wait untill there are some more clouds? Nah, if that was teh case this wouldn't be a B ranked jutsu. Then uhh.. Nahhh. Or or or.. Nahh.. What are you thinking of? That jutsu. How I should do it. What jutsu do you mean? The one you just tried to perform? That went well right? Nah.. It was supposed to go up the clouds and then release a torrent of lightningbolts crashing down.
. . .
ARE YOU SAYING THAT IF THAT TECHNIQUE WORKED WE'D BE A PILE OF ASHES!? ()

Hotoka got a hit of the back of the merchants bodyguard's sword.
No more electric torrents near me. B.. butbutbut.. (ó_ò)

Hotoka felt like training again and went to an open field, away from others. He remembered that swirling your chakra around you worked and he kept trying that. Hotoka looked around. It wasn't dark or something like it. Actualy, there were a few white clouds and the sun did its best shining down upon the world. This was going to be alot harder then first times where he had a bit more clouded and even stormy weather. Hotoka stood there with his arms up, pointing his claws to the sky and moving his chakra around him. He kept moving it faster and faster and after a minute sparks were flying around Hotoka. Hotoka tought it was time to unleash it and moved all of the chakra towards his claw into the sky. He saw sparks and flashing lights coming from it high into the sky. There wasnt really a reaction exept for the fact that the clouds became a little darker.

Hotoka was a bit dissapointed but now the clouds were darker it should be easier for Hotoka to do the jutsu. He tried it again and this time he collected it alot faster. He felt the chakra flying up and up and he released it within a minute. Sparks went from cloud to cloud but none of the sparks struck down. Hotoka decided to have something to eat and try again. This time he tried it without claws since he had to learn it at some point so why not just at the beginning. He focused his chakra into circling around him, faster and faster, generating electricity. After that he swirled it all towards his hands and tried to shoot it up the sky. a jolt shot out from his fingertips but didnt get up in the clouds. It went quite high but not there yet. Hotoka really wanted to get his claws back since it went alot easier with them. On the other hand, if he succeeded in this without his claws he would get a much beter effect if he did use his claws after that. So Hotoka went standing in the usual position again and swirled his chakra around. He focused all of his chakra in his wrist to his fingers and up the air. He could almost reach teh clouds but just before that the thunderbolt changed direction and dissapeared. Hotoka wanted to try it some more but was getting tired so he went back to the camp.

It was a rainy day. Rainy, stormy and dark. Just how Hotoka liked it. This way learning his technique would be alot easier. Standing in an open field Hotoka looked around. If he got hit by lightning it'd be bad but to use the technique near alot of trees.. So Hotoka went preparing himself for once. He just sat down and thought about how to electrify his chakra. He pictured it hurling around him, slowly but constant. While moving his chakra he started thinking about electricity. He began to picture a lightningbolt while focussing on his chakra at the same time. Time went by as he thought about everything that had something to do with electricity. Starting with the feeling when he got hit by getting an electric shock. He pictured the entire way the shock would go if hitting him, the exact shape it would have and the way it would travel. He didnt notice it but his chakra became intenser and slowly started to get lightning-like properties. Hotoka, still with his eyes closed, didnt notice anything about the chakra and just kept picturing the lightning. His chakraflow became unpredictable and Hotoka started to look like a sitting lightningbolt. He still had his eyes closed and didnt payed attention to a single thing around him, just the chakra. He did felt it becoming stronger in some way but didnt knew what exactly was going on. He continued this for another 5 minutes and by then lightningbolts were flying from his body towards the sky, one after another, all filling the clouds with thunder. Even this went on for minutes and Hotoka started to get a bit exhausted. He opened his eyes and dropped his concentration. He saw one spark flying up all of a sudden but it didnt reached the clouds. Hotoka had no idea what happened and only knew that he should start training or else he'd be exhausted before even releasing a propper lightningbolt. After having an apple he started molding a stream of chakra around him, the same chakra he had just a couple of minutes ago. Within 5 minutes he had the exact same chakra, releasing a giant lightningbolt towards the sky, filling the area with light and going up in the clouds, leaving a loud sound of thunder there and all of a sudden, shooting one lightningbolt down on a tree. The tree directly catched fire but went out after a while because of the rain. Hotoka was amazed by this, as he had never been able to do that untill now.All pumped up and ready for a second try he gathered his chakra again. He was so obsessed with the lightningbolt that he used up too much chakra, resulting him to faint and be found by a merchants bodyguard a couple of minutes later.

Almost no clouds, Sunny
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hotoka wanted to train again, but since the incident from yesterday he had to take it easy. If he even came close to fainting he should give up training for the rest of the mission. The good news was that Hotoka already had the idea of how the chakra should feel and how to get it thanks to yesterdays training. He went back to an open field. He simply started swirling the chakra again. Since he kept doing this it became easier and easier to do so and in no time he had enough chakra gathered to release it. Hotoka noticed that the more chakra he put in the more of his body shot of lightning. This time his entire arm was surrounded with a lightninglike substance and he launched it up in the clouds. It went almost straight up in them and let a loud roaring come from the few clouds that were present. Hotoka saw lightning shooting of from one cloud to another and sometimes towards the ground but they didnt got that far yet and directed back to the clouds. Hotoka kept trying for an hour and was called back after that since they were going to travel again.

20:00
A little clouded, Twilight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After traveling a bit they went to rest again and Hotoka went on with his usual training. He looked around him, the twilight gave him a comfortable feeling for some reason, instead of the unpleasant feeling he usually had. Looking up at the sky he saw the clouds floating in beautifull formations. It was almost a shame to put thunder in it.. Almost..
Hotoka put his claws back on this time, trying to create the best thunder he had so far. Looking up he tried another aproach. Seeing that thunder does not swirl but shoots over he decided to mold his chakra in a different way electriclike. In theory it should work so Hotoka tried it right away. He started with his feet letting out chakra shoot over to his upper body like small lightningbolts. He kept thinking about the shape and it started to shoot over from every bodypart. He didnt moved the chakra around him anymore, he moved it through him. It took a bit longer but he could deffeneatly feel a difference in power and finaly shot up a giant bolt. It got in the clouds and rumbled some. Hotoka waited and waited but nothing came so he decided to try again. After a couple of times he had an apple and looked at the sky. It was dark by now and he almost had to go back to the camp. He decided to try it one more time and go back.
He stood there, in the middle of the open field, waiting for the first spark to shoot over. He kept building up chakra but didnt release it yet, he waited for it to become powerfull enough to launch one big plum right into the sky. The moment he thought he had it he unleashed it, leaving the clouds to become even darker and completely blocking the moonlight, making it completely dark when all of a sudden a massive thunderbolt rushed down from the sky, only 5 meters away from Hotoka and leaving the entire area lit when suddenly 3 other bolts came down from the sky. Hotoka had no idea how to controll it but he did actually got a thunderbolt. No, not just one.. Three!
Proud of what he did and a bit tired Hotoka went back to the camp, talking about what he had done.

Hotoka woke up early and decided to go training again. He put on some clothes and saw that the weather was, again, good for his training. He walked into the field and simply started to mold chakra again. He directed it all over his body and eventually over his arms, resulting it into shooting up in the sky. He didnt even hit the clouds as the plum just "died out" before it came near. This would still need a little more training and he shouldn't rush it so much. He sat down and started making the right chakra. This would help alot more than simply shooting something in the air. Hotoka tried to use the normal ways to use electrified chakra by using the Jolt Clamp. His hands started to get electrified chakra over it and within a second he had activated the jutsu. This was what the chakra should feel like when he shoots it in the air. He moved his hand up in the sky, gathered some more chakra and shot it up in the sky. It didnt came further than a couple of meters since he still had the Jolt Clamp activated. He quickly deactivated the jutsu and tried to gather the right chakra. The chakra streamed to his palm and he slowly changed it into the chakra he used for the Jolt Clamp. All this chakra swirled in his palm and shot over from finger to finger. Once he thought he had enough he pointed his hand up in the sky and launched it up into the clouds. This time it actually reached the clouds and they became a little darker already. Now it was time for Hotoka to direct some bolts of lightning towards the ground. He concentrated on a small bush standing in the field. He pictured all the chakra in the clouds and shot it down at the bush. Nothing happened outside Hotokas mind though and as he kept picturing the chakra there a small lightningbolt struck down, but not far enough to reach the ground as it dissapeared on its way there. It was only meters away from it though, not even ten. But still, it missed.

Hotoka was happy he had something and had it directed as well. After that he tried again, gathered the chakra (which now happened within two minutes) and it reached the clouds, leaving a loud rumbling in the sky and after alot of channeling his chakra (now in the clouds) towards the same bush. As he released the bolt out of the clouds he felt some kind of force pulling it back in the clouds. He tried his best to direct it away from the clouds but it seemed like the clouds were pulling it back just as much. The more he tried to move it away the more the clouds pulled it back but he did notice that how further he came down with the lightningbolt, the less the force of the clouds became. After almost a minute of pulling the chakra away he suddenly got it to work and let it shoot right down at the bush, which catched fire in seconds. After putting out the fire-bush of death he tried it again, this time on an other bush. He shot another plum into the sky and pulled his chakra out again, this time leaving him with a recordtime of 25 seconds and again, he hit the bush.
yay I fried two defenseless bushes today (-__-

22:15
Dark and Clouded.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was now nighttime and he had some time of again. He simply started molding chakra, nothing else, just molding it. As for his previous attempts it took over a minute it now took no more than 30 seconds, that must mean that it could easily be moved down to mere seconds. He held up his wrist and shot the chakra towards it. It took around 25 seconds before countless minithunderbolts were flying over from finger to finger and as he held it like that for over a minute his entire hands was covered in the lightning-like chakrasubstance. He released it and tried again, this time creating the sparks in the same time but his hand was covered in the chakra within 50 seconds. He kept adding chakra and the sparks flew over and through his arms and body. It started stinging but Hotoka didnt care. Seeing this chakra made quite an impression on him and he noticed that he even lit up the area, as a sitting superspark. He held this up for more than five minutes and minilightningplums started to shoot out of his body. Seeing this Hotoka realised it was time to stop and go back to the camp. But instead of just releasing it he directed it up in the clouds, leaving a loud bang and rumble and he noticed it was alot easier to direct his chakra out of the clouds. He foccused on another bush which was hit within 30 seconds. Hotoka had something like yay but all of a sudden 3 other lightningbolts came flying down, also hitting some bushes. As Hotoka looked at this he got a big grin on his face and walked back to the camp a couple of minutes later, to be sure there wouldnt be any lightningbolts left in the sky.

Hotoka went training again. Itfs been a while and he thought it was about time to start training again. The last time he did it he was able to let three bolts fly from the sky, landing around the place he wanted them to land. This was a nice beginning but he wasnft half-way there yet. He went standing in an open field again and began shooting his chakra through his body as usual. Sparks crawled from his feet up his leg and they eventually swirled around his chest, covering his entire body in an electric substance. After that he pointed the palm of his hand up to the air and shot of all the electrified chakra. It shot up in the sky and a couple of seconds later it reached the clouds. Now Hotoka needed to concentrate on the object he wanted to hit, which was a tree this time. He pictured his chakra in the sky moving through it and all concentrating above the tree he wanted to hit. His chakra, which was scattered trough the clouds by now was slowly pulled back to one spot. Now Hotoka tried to force all the chakra he stocked up in the clouds into shooting out of it and hitting the tree. He visualized the entire scene above and his own plum of chakra, which he launched down towards the tree.
He saw a giant lightning bolt shoot down but it didnft reached the ground. It shot over to another cloud instead. Hotoka tried to move it back but his chakra was already gone.
gDamnit.. I need to have a lot more strength in my chakra if I want this to work.h And he went thinking about how he could do it. He could offcourse simply try it over and over again but, as this was Hotoka, patience was not an option. He needed to learn it and he needed to learn it fast. What if I.. What if I let it jump over to eachother? Itfs crazy enough to work. Why not try it? So again, he stood there. Concentrating all of his chakra into electrified chakra bolts shooting over from one to another and trough his body. He could feel the tingling of the thunder and tried to slowly move that feeling up to his one finger. If everything was concentrated in that one finger itfd take less effort to hold all of his chakra in group, making it easier to keep the chakra together instead of spreading out in the clouds. He let all of his chakra swirl around his finger towards his fingertip, so that he could launch the giant plum, from the smallest point of his finger. The electrified chakra shot up and in a second it already was in the clouds. He noticed t hat it was still hard to keep the chakra where he wanted it to but it went better as the time before. After a couple of minutes of training he was able to move his chakra freely through the clouds and thought it was time to release it. He divided his chakra into three smaller groups and shot one electric bolt down from one group. After that he let the second one jump towards the first and up again. After that he let the third shoot towards the first and after that the second. This all happened within seconds and the lightning bolts now almost formed a beam, striking straight into the tree.

18:30
Heavy rainfall.
{33/80}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a couple of hours since Hotoka made the beam and after dinner he went training again. He had mastered the basics so doing the technique would go a bit faster than normal. He concentrated his chakra to his hand again and noticed that he had the same amount and type of chakra in less than half of the time. He shot it up in the clouds and formed one group of chakra. He didnft separate it this time. He just expanded the group bit by bit and eventually shot out a lightning bolt. It hit the tree and almost set it on fire but the rain put it out in seconds. This time, however, Hotoka maintained a lot of his chakra in the sky. This resulted him into having more bolts to throw at trees! He tried to launch another one and just like the first one, it went completely fine. He still had chakra left for another bolt or two. With his last bit of chakra he shot two bolts at the same time down to the tree. The both hit the tree but not as two bolts. In the sky one bolt moved himself towards the other, forming a bigger (probably more powerfull) bolt but it was only one bolt. Hotoka, who really wanted two bolts, was having troubles with his chakra and the rain didnft made the training more fun either. Soaking wet he went back to his house, and directly to bed as well.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hotoka just came out of Adasuke's house and went training. He wanted to learn this jutsu fast now so he wouldnt stop untill he had learned it. He first grabbed his claws, stood ready in the open field and went meditating while collecting chakra. The chakra slowly swirled around him as he stared into the sky. It took him not longer than a minute to reach the right level of chakra again but kept it there for a moment. He was curious to the lenght he could hold the chakra like that. Minutes went by and Hotoka still got the chakra swirling around him. By now his arms, legs and chest all started tingling and at places it even started to hurt. But Hotoka didnt stop. He actually kept adding the chakra, making the weird feeling contingue. The chakra he had around himself now was starting to form itself into something more electrical and it started to shoot of at things as they were comming near him. Hotoka knew he should release the chakra fast or ele he'd become a dangerous ball of lightning without any real controll over it so he launched the chakra into the air. After all of the chakra swirling around him was hanging in the air he tried to move it around again.
It required alot of strenght to keep his chakra together. This most likely happened because of the huge amount of it. As the chakra was slowly spreading Hotoka foccused himself on it more and more and eventually got it all together again. He now had one big concentrated spot of chakra, ready to shoot out of the clouds at an object Hotoka wanted it to go. But that wasnt enough for Hotoka. He wanted to have several concentrationpoints so that he was able to shoot more electric bolts. According to the describtion he could shoot of quite some bolts while his record wasnt even above the 10. He now made all of his chakra split while being in the clouds, forming first five and then ten small chakraorbs. He felt he still had enough for more and tried to split the orbs he had right now. He ended up into having fifteen orbs as some just died out. Even tought there was quite some chakra there, Hotoka still didn't had enough to get more than that. With all the orbs ready to launch Hotoka remembered something else he had learned from a couple of trainings ago. In order to get them away from the magnetic field of the clouds he would have to use the chakrabotls themself, so that they could come to the ground. Even though they were not supposed to do this it was the best he could do at the moment. He made all of his orbs smaller and smaller, and thus, making the chakra more concentrated. Then he started counting. "Five, Four, Three, Two, One.." A loud banging noise came out of the air as Hotoka forced 15 bolts of lightning to shoot out of the sky. At first they seemed to stay in the clouds and one directly shot back to them but the others all went down, some towards another making nine of the fifteen bolts to actually hit something. He did noticed that the bolts that were fused were a bit stronger than the others and when he wanted to try it again Ruisu walked up to him.

After having a little chat with Ruisu and Adasuke Hotoka went sleeping in a tree and after that went training again. He now tried to work on the speed that he could cast the jutsu with. He went standing in a normal pose in the open field and shot sparks up from all parts of his body towards his head. Without his hands moved up it took a bit longer and it also seemed harder to get all of the chakra to that point. He kept trying to gather chakra at one point while maintaining the chakralevel but now he didnt even had a place to concentrate it on. This where his hand came in. He pointed it at the sky and foccused all of his chakra towards his hand. He didnt knew why but it was so much easier and within ten seconds he already shot the plum of lightning in the air. Now the lightning was in the clouds he started to play with it, simply letting it shoot over from cloud to cloud to get a little more grip on the lightning. He kept moving the lightning around, making it go faster with each turn it made and also more and more under his comand. He now even went playing with seeing how far he could shoot the lightning out of the cloud before it went back again. This made the level of his chakra-usage for this jutsu alot higher and more skilled. He was still playing around with the lightning as he felt its power fading a little bit. The bad part of this jutsu was that he couldn't simply add chakra since it was all happening in the sky. He quickly shot it off towards the ground into a bush before it completely dissapeared.
He started to gather chakra and again, without his hands up. He should just be able to do the jutsu without his hands or anything like it. Within ten seconds he had the right type of chakra and let it swirl and shoot through his body. The chakra kept becoming thicker and thicker and he concentrated it all at a small point above his head. After the orb was created he shot it up in the sky again and controlled it from there. He let the ball shoot from left to right and every direction he could think og. He kept moving the ball in odd shapes and eventually split it up in five parts which he all controlled. The balls he controlled all went in an artistic way trough the sky, leaving small images of panda's and other animals to be seen. As he moved it more and more he also noticed that the balls took some of the sky's energy too. So that meant that you could add thunder from the sky as well to make your own jutsu stronger. With that knowledge Hotoka kept circling them around a point and indeed feeling that they all became stronger. As the five orbs now had alot of power in them he split them up again, this time untill he had twentyfive different orbs. The orbs werent ready for shooting yet so he collected a bit more of the clouds energy. As the orbs were now filled with enough energy and power he all moved them away from eachother in a circle, which now had a diameter of almost fifteen meters. After that he shot all of the balls at exact the same time down to earth. This time eighteen of the twenty-five botls actually came out an Hotoka was quite proud of himself. But all this thundering made him sleepy as well and he went back to the tree to rest a bit.

Hotoka was finaly released from the hospital and directly went training again. That battle with Ruisu made him see how weak he actually was, and if he tought about it, he had only learned two jutsu after he finished the academy. Pissed at the idea of this Hotoka went back in the field, making sure he'd learn at least five techniques before the chuuninexams were over. He went standing in the field again, his head filled with rage and lust for power. He had never been like this before, it was something about that match that got him fired up.
He stood in the field with both of his arms up and gathered all of his chakra. After that he swirled it around him while letting it spark over as well. Now he was a small lightningorb, waiting to release his chakra and fry the world. As he gathered enough chakra to form a electrified plum he shot it out in the sky, lighting up the entire area. As Hotoka put most of his chakra in the entire sky was now engulfed with sparks flying and shooting from one to another. As the sparks flew over faster and faster Hotoka all released them, giving out a massive force on them and taking them down. Without Hotoka paying attention to where they should land the landed on random spots. The good thing was that he actually got out more than ten bolts, all striking on random places. It didnt stayed with ten bolts tough, as they kept shooting down in a faster and faster rate. This went on for almost a minute before Hotoka could stop the incomming bolts. Almost completely out of breath Hotoka sat down and had something to drink and eat. You're pushing yourself to hard.. Dont let hate take over your ambitions.. he tought but that tought changed back soon.
His eyes were close to burning and he wanted to master this jutsu fast. As he gathered his chakra again he shot sparks out in the open, but they were soon turned back to circling around his hand as his controll over it kept switching. He did found the right strenght for the jutsu but as he suddenly got all this strenght he lacked a bit of controll. The chakra raging around his fist again began to give a strong painfull stinging and the pain became worse and worse. After that he send off the load again. It wasnt as powerfull as it used to be but it still had alot of power in it and Hotoka also noticed that controlling it was hard as well. HE did manage to controll it a little tough and he the lightningbolts only shot at the direction he was focussing at, even tough that covered more than 10 meters. AS he saw one bolt flying down another followed quickly and they kept coming and coming untill there were around twentyfive bolts that came flying down. As he looked in front of him he saw nothing but ashed trees and burning bushes. Thinking he had done enough shooting bolts for today he went forming chakra. He kept circling it around him untill it had the same feeling it had as when he shot it of in the sky. Every time he had reached the right type of chakra eh let it all fall, only to start over and over again. In the beginning this hadnt much effect but Hotoka graduately started to notice it to form faster and faster and after a couple of tries he already had the right chakra within thirthy seconds. Trying and trying this he knew how to make this time go from thirthy to twenty and from twenty to ten. As he made it under the ten seconds he was close to exhaustion and lied back to rest a bit.

He stood up around fifteen minutes ago, just to go training in the jutsu again. He sat down this time and continued where he started, molding the chakra. He was able to create the right chakra in ten seconds while it had to be done a second. Hotoka kept picturing and forming his chakra as an electrical current. IIt had engulfed his entire upper body by now and he released it again. He now tried again, but slow, only adding more power. The charka started to form between his hands after he performed the handseals and slowly streamed between them. AS Hotoka kept trying to form it as lightning the chakra became more and more agressive and started moving randomly around Hotoka. The chakra kept lighting up more and more and after a couple of minutes Hotoka felt that the charka wasnt going to get any stronger. THe tingling and burning feeling was intense, yet he kept holding the chakra there. AS he held this up for around five minutes he finaly couldn't take it anymore and shot it up in the sky. After they got in the clouds a rumbling started to occur and the clouds were getting darker. You could see the sparks flying around and Hotoka now tries to move the lightningorb away. He kept moving it up to twenty five meters as he couldn't go any further. He looked at the sky and clouds above him and almost admired the clouds.. It was one of the most interesting things he had ever seen and it didnt took him long to shoot out the lightningnolts. They werent all in front of him as usual but all spreadover a twenty five meter radius. There were more than fifteen bolts, all flying around him towards the ground, giving out a loud rumling echo trough the sky and bright shocks light it up as it already became dark because of the clouds. Now fire was surrounding the entire area, forcing Hotoka to put it out with some waterjutsu.
After that he went training again as he wanted to learn the entire jutsu in just 4 hours. He shot the chakra over again, this time finishing within 5 seconds and launched it in the clouds within 10 seconds. As usual, the lightning-chakra light up the area. These were stronger as they used to be tough and its costed more effort to keep all of the small glowing orbs of chakra together. After holding them up in the sky for a while the sparks were shot down again, with a massive force, leaving small smoking craters in the ground, which was grass before the attack. Fire started to form as well but Hotoka did not care for that. All he cared about was getting the technique stronger and stronger untill he ahd finaly mastered it. One bolt actually reached untill the limit the jutsu described, leaving Hotoka there with a big grin. The bolts kept coming as Hotoka finaly found out the right amount of chakra needed for each individual bolt making it possible to shoot more than one lightningbolt per orb and still keeping them on their maximum strenght. Hotoka kept launching them off untill all of the orbs were completely turned into nothing. After that Hotoka went melding his chark again for a little while, as he did after every trainingssession lately. The chakra simply swirled around him and he was now able to form the right chakra within three seconds without any type of pain or tingling. As he saw his hands glow more and more he started to become a little tired again and lied back, watching the clouds while constantly picturing thunder in them. He didnt knew if that meant that he was really eager to learn the jutsu or just because he had seen too much lightning for the past couple of days. He didnt cared to much tough as he quickly fell asleep.
