That had been a good adventure and the Instant Spark a classic for him. The other lightning jutsus all had their own stories as well, as Genju continued his reminiscences. The day after learning Instant Spark, his master introduced him to a bunch of other students who had been studying lightning in their own ways.

Gathered together, his master went over the instructions for a new jutsu called Lightning Ball. “I'll show you the basics and then you guys can play tag with it. Last man standing wins.” Everyone nodded, for they all respected Sayoran's teaching style. “Alright, lets get started. I'll show it to you three times. Then your on your own. Oh and before I forget, the prize is access to my secret stash.” At this announcement everyone's eyes lit up, for Sayoran had a legendary stash filled with all sorts of items.

With rapid succession Sayoran formed the hand seals causing a ball of glowing blue energy to form in his hand. The pulsating orb crackled like it were alive, yet it did not affect the man's hand. Shrugging his shoulders and arching his eyebrow, Sayoran looked around until finally a bird cawed, flying low overhead. At this signal he wound up and threw it like a pitcher hitting the bird dead on. The energy quickly circulated through the bird's nervous system shutting down. Unable to flap it fell towards the earth.

His master was not a cruel man and with a quick shunshin, he caught the bird gingerly. Speaking slowly,he said, “This is the power of paralysis.” A couple students looked uneasy as he added, “Don't worry. The bird is fine. It was just a little demonstration. For those of you who don't know paralysis numbs the body making you unable to react. So it's best to not get hit with it.”

One student quipped a remark, “The game of tag you were speaking of...”

“Ah, right.” he said, “The ruled have been modified. Everyone is it and your out when you get hit with a Lightning Ball. Any questions?” he waited for anyone to respond. “Good, then let me show it to you two more times.” True to his word, he did it slower and slower so that everyone could see the signs. “Let the game begin then.” Sayoran jumped up onto a tree, placing the bird in its nest as the students rose and looked at each other uneasily.

Genju moved first, eager to get to see the stash. He formed the hand seals and focused on his hand. The lightning formed in the palm of his master's hand, so chakra must flow there. Realigning his chakra network, he focused on generating a ball of lightning in his hand. The hairs on his arm rose, charged by the energy as a golf ball size bolt of energy flowed around. The noise it made was fairly loud all things considered. Looking around he saw that some of the students had also begun forming the ball. Well it was tag. Seeing a boy forming a ball to his left, he let loose, the unaware student getting pegged in the arm. The energy surged up and down his body, shutting down his nerves and he dropped to the ground, twitching. The ball of energy he had dissipated like it never was.

A quick look around showed that several other students had also fallen to the ground. Jumping up, a ball barely missed his lower leg as the energy impacted the snow, leaving an impression. Seeing the kid who threw it, Genju zig zagged back and forth as he focused hard on his chakra, willing it to form into controllable lightning. When it formed, he hurled it as his opponent did likewise, the two bolts clashing in the air. His was bigger and thus stronger piercing through it , hitting the kid dead on in the chest. He liked this jutsu. Over eager, he tried it again going for an even bigger ball, softball size amount of lightning. As he finished forming it, holding it in one hand, a ball of light narrowly missed to his left. Another came from his right. Ducking and dodging he hurled it hitting another person, this one twitching even more. It seemed more lightning made a difference in impact. As the game continued on for the better part of an hour, Genju made a mistake in forming the lighting. He had almost finished completing a ball when he dodged by leaning backwards, only to lose his balance. Struggling to maintain his balance, he hit himself with his own ball. As the current flowed through him and his kaishin bloodlimit, he lost all feeling, falling to the ground. “Tsk, tsk,” said Sayoran. “Better luck next time Genju,” as he was lifted off to the side of the field where the others were. He did not recall much else about the game, his brain extremely relaxed and him out of focus.

[0 / 10]

Thinking back on it, that game of tag could have been better. He had come a long way since shocking himself. Another memory surfaced, taking place two days after the last.

Alone with Sayoran, they had borrowed a target range. “Genju, do you know why I brought you here?”

“You don't want me to hit you again with kunai?”

Sayoran chuckled, “Well that would be a good reason. My arm hurt for a while after that but no. I want to show you how to charge your weapons with lightning. It gives a little oomph to your kunai, shuriken and the like.”

“So those are special targets?” asked Genju pointing to the field.

“Of course, do you see the display in front of the wooden post. It gives a reading of the current detected. Watch.” Pulling out three kunai, Sayoran stared at them his hair standing up. They looked normal but different at the same time.

“Did you really do anything?” asked Genju. His instructors only response was to hurl them at the dummy. All three hit the head and the display glowed red flashing a number, 50.

“It may not really look it, but I added lightning to it. It's lots of fun. Look again.” He used the same method as before while holding a kunai and when it looked like something moved over it he held it next to Genju. It was only a moment but Genju's arm went numb. He could not lift it.

“What did you do?” asked Genju trying to lift his unresponsive arm. Several seconds of numbness passed before finally his good arm could lift again.

“Paralyzed it. It's only good for a couple seconds but if your smart,” he said pointing to his head, “you can do some damage. Give it a shot.”

Genju nodded moving his shoulder to try and restart the circulation. It worked fine but felt out of whack. Taking a sole kunai Genju stared at it, recalling how he created lightning before. It required morphing the chakra into a tangible form, something with a current. When he thought he saw movement, he hurled it at the target. A 20 appeared on the display. “See you did it,” said Sayoran. “But your paying for dinner unless you hit 50.” Laughing Sayoran merely watched as he let Genju experiment.

Taking another kunai Genju looked at it at all angles wondering why the lightning affected it. The metal was conductive, but only for a few seconds. A realization dawned on him that if he could find a more conductive metal perhaps he could make the kunai pack even more of a punch. “I'm not getting any younger over here,” said Sayoran interrupting his thoughts. “Do you want to pay for dinner?”

“Sorry,” he replied. Focusing his charka to his palm he let it rise up until he was sure he saw some reaction on the kunai. Bringing his arm back he threw it hitting the stomach of the dummy. A 23 flashed on the screen. Several more tries later, Genju was still scoring under 25. Frustrated, Genju tried again focusing intently on charging up his kunai. More and more chakra pumped into it, forming into lightning until he lost all sensation in his hand and the kunai dropped to the ground. “My hand,” Genju cried out.

“Oh right. Guess I should have mentioned that if you overdo it, your hand will receive feedback and become paralyzed.” Shooting Sayoran a dirty look, Genju tried shaking his unresponsive arm. “Well you can keep trying with your other hand unless you want to pay for dinner.”

Grumbling internally but too cheap to admit defeat and pay for dinner, he picked up his kunai with his other hand prepping to throw it. It read a thirty with his of hand. He had held it longer but not so long as to shock himself. He knew how long it would take to give him numbness so at least he could avoid it in the future. Still he was not achieving the needed result. He must of missed something.

Then it came to him. Focusing the charge into his hand he focused on his next kunai. When he felt it had charged, he spent less time aiming and hurled it at the target. It barely hit the foot, but the sensor read a 50. “So you figured it out?” said Sayoran, more of a statement than a question. Genju nodded, feeling slowly returning to his arm. “The trick was that you have to let the kunai fly quickly lest the charge disappear.. Well you did good enough.” Sayoran took another kunai in his hand and hurled it at the target scoring a 100. “How bout some Miso soup.”

Just in case of any serious injury, Genju had had his hand looked at after dinner. Fortunately everything was fine. Oh how he liked his teacher.
A couple days after that he and Sayoran were alone in the dimly lit basement of his house. “So why do we have to be in here?” asked Genju smelling a musky mold type smell, which was odd considering it was below freezing out. “I think something died down here,” he said following his master's candle.

“Perhaps. But that's irrelevant. I'm going to teach you something fun. It's an escape for when you get caught pulling your pranks.” Genju frowned. He had been caught twice and that had not been fun. It took a week of work to pay back what broke when he was apprehended.

“I'm listening,” said Genju.

“Okay,” he said putting the candle on a table. “Look into my eyes.”

“Uh huh,” Genju said not sure he liked where this was going. Suddenly his master's eyes closed. “Sensei, you okay?”

“I'm fine,” responded Sayoran giddy with excitement as his eyes opened. Light filled his eyes, reaching into his corneas. It was so bright. He felt like he was going blind. The dim lighting magnified the effects of the jutsu so that everything went white, then black. He could not see anything, spots danced in front of his open eyes. Closed, dots swirled around dancing to a tune he could not hear. “What did you do to me,” he asked, stumbling backwards.

“Do you like?” Sayoran asked. Slowly, it seemed minutes passed though it was probably faster, Genju could blink enough where he could make out Sayoran staring at him. “A fun jutsu, huh,” Sayoran said placing his arm on Genju's shoulder. “A powerful technique. It will let you escape and catch your enemies off guard or I'm sure you could think of a few offensive ways to use it.”

Genju nodded, his face calm though inside he felt like he could beat up his teacher. The invisible him was holding a rock ready to be dropped on his master's head. “So teach me it already,” said Genju his attitude snippy.

“Okay, okay, don't get upset. It was only some fun.” A smile formed as Sayoran added, “Well I am pretty shocking aren't I.”
Genju cringed as he let Sayoran continue. “Alright, down to business. It's simple but dangerous,” Sayoran's voice turning serious as he spoke. “It only takes the Rat Seal but the chakra manipulation must be managed carefully. You saw how I closed my eye and then opened it. Well I build my chakra when the eye is closed and then open it suddenly to unleash the flash. It's like an electric shock in a way but instead it's a flash of light. It's simply using lightning in a different way.”

“I got it,” said Genju.

“Good, now you try.” Genju smirked, ready to try it on his master. “My lovely assistant will help you,” he said pulling a cage out from under the table. “Say hello to Peter Cottontail.” A small rabbit with its big eyes looked at Genju.

“You gotta be kidding.”

“Nope. I'm not going to be blinded. When the bunny's eyes dilate you have succeeded.”

Genju sighed. His master was smarter than he liked. Holding the Rat hand seal, Genju closed his eyes focused on giving the rabbit a might shock. Nothing against the rabbit but he wanted to master it quickly so he could shock his teacher as well. Charka flowed upward through his head. He was careful to bypass the brain as he had learned that electric impulses shoot off there. Giving himself brain damage would not be fun. The chakra flowed through his eyes, resting behind the lens. He thought of pushing outward when opening them. For a split second he could not see as the light emerged. Then it was clear. His vision was fine. It had had no affect on him at all. Looking around the room looked the same. The rabbit on the other hand looked blinded. Genju had never seen such small pupils. “How was that?” he asked waiting for praise.

“Very good,” said Sayoran covering his eyes. “Too good.” He was blinking repeatedly. “I didn't think you would get me too. Let's take a break.” Genju let a laugh escape as he spent the rest of the day resting.
