While walking his way back to his uncle's place, Ryuma saw a boy practicing a jutsu called Raiton - Rakurai Shuryuu with his father near the riverbank. They knock out the steel cans placed on the top of a log using that jutsu. "How nice... Its nostalgic". Ryuma placed his hands inside his pockets and watched the two people training together. At first, he watched because his trying to reminisce about his past but as the training goes on he had become interested in learning that technique. "Maybe i can use that for close-range combat" murmuring much of it to himself. While talking to himself, someone tapped his shoulder and said "So kid, Do you wanna train?" he suddenly faced the man but to his surprise it was his uncle Kiryuu. "Uncle? Train? Wait, do you even know how to release your chakra? Cause I don't see you train yourseld..." he blurted out thinking that his uncle is not even a ninja because he don't see his uncle doing ninja tasks but just normal work. "How rude! Ha ha! Well, I WAS a ninja. Or should i say a former ninja" quickly responded by his uncle. "Well then? Shall we?" they walked home together as they exchange talks to each other.

On the garden at the back of Kiryuu's house. Ryuma and his uncle had decided to train together. "I never would have thought that this day will come that i will once again release my chakra." Kiryuu said while looking up the sky talking to Ryuma. Kiryuu then bended his knees and flat out his palms to each other with his index finger and thumb pointing vertically while others are folded. He then said "This will be a blast so hold on kid!" smirked a little and then uttered silently the words "Chakra Release". Dusts exploded from the ground and a sudden burst of energy came out of Kiryuu's body. Ryuma had nothing to say but stay stunned while watching the flow of chakra coming out from his uncle's body. Kiryuu then let go of his hands and the burst of energy suddenly stopped, Kiryuu called on to Ryuma and asked him to come closer as they will now begin their training. "Amazing...!" Ryuma thought as he slowly approached his uncle. Kiryuu then demonstrated something to give Ryuma a clue, he threw a steel can into the air and performed a series of half-hand seals, after that he faced his palm directly at the can creating an orb of lightning from his palm and shot the can and incinerate it to ashes. "That's the stronger version of the technique your watching earlier... Now i will teach you its basic form... Are you ready?" he asked Ryuma while looking directly at his eyes. "Yes, Please do!" Ryuma eagerly replied. "Okay then... First, in order to initiate the Lightning Stream Jutsu, you must first perform the hand seals Ox, Monkey, Dog and Dragon." while saying that, Kiryuu performs the different hand seals. "After that, using your both hands focus your chakra and mix it with your stream of electricity on the middle of your palm. Imagine that your making an orb of lightning. Then just release it like throwing a ball but only using your palm" Kiryuu then formed an orb of lightning from his hands and shoot it at a nearby tree. "Now then, I'll just sit here and watch" his uncle sat on the bench near the backdoor of the house and watched Ryuma as he began training.

As he was instructed, Ryuma performed first the hand seals Ox, Monkey, Dog and Dragon. After performing, a sudden electrical feeling seems to crawl on his arms muscles. He then holp up his hands with his palms facing the nearby tree. He then concentrated on creating an orb but it suddenly shoots out not achieving the orb shape and has no power. "This is harder than it looks..." he said so to himself while heavily sweating after a few hours of training. "A BALL!" his uncle shouted at him like he was giving him a clue on how to form the shape. After a few set of tries, Ryuma still coudn't do it so his uncle said to him "Just continue it tomorrow! I know you'll figure it out sooner or later...". While they were eating dinner, Ryuma suddenly thought of something. "Uncle, do you have a ball in here?" asked Ryuma. "Well I have a ball there at the storage room. Why?" Kiryuu curiously asked. Ryuma quickly stood up from his seat and ran towards the storage room. He searched for the ball his uncle was talking about and was able to find it after a few digs on a bunch of junks. He then held the ball with his both hands and he closed his eyes as he feel something from it. "So this is what his talking about..." Ryuma seemingly understood something, he brought the ball back with him to his room and feel it as he slept.

On the next day, Ryuma with his both hands and his eyes closed, he imagined that he was holding a ball and that ball is made out of a mixture of electricity and chakra. He then release it out of his palm by imagining that he threw the ball using only his palm. He then opened his eyes and saw the tree 3 meters in front of him had taken damage from his Lightning Stream. "Did i make it?" he asked himself as he laughed little by little. Kiryuu walked closer and gave him a thumbs up and smiled saying "Yeah kid! You made it!".

A week later, Ryuma who had learned a Rank "D" Lightning Stream had been training on this whole time to try and perfect his technique. "I guess your ready to learn the more advance form of that technique kid!" he tried to look back but had no chance because he was suddenly blown away by a sudden attack at his left shoulder. As he fell into the ground, Ryuma noticed that he cannot feel anything from his whole left arm, his arm became numb and rendered useless. He looked up from his position and saw his uncle standing in front of him. "Experience is the best teacher... You must feel it, endure it, and use it to become stronger..." as his uncle smirked and helped him stood up. "Uncle! Why did you do this?!" Ryuma angrily asked while grasping his left shoulder. "Don't worry! Its numbness will likely be gone at about an hour. I have my own reasons kid..." Kiryuu explained while putting a smile on his face and sat on the bench near the backdoor of the house. "Wait for an hour.. And we will commence on to your next training" his uncle exclaimed while closing his eyes and slept.

An hour had already past and Ryuma can finally feel back his left arm. "Uncle! Wake up! I'm okay now so lets train!" as he shook his uncle left and right trying to wake him up from his slumber. "Rmgh rmgh... Oh! So you finally feeling your arm again kid? Okay, lets begin." Kiryuu stood up from his sit and walked with Ryuma on to the place in the backyard near a tree. "Now perform the required hand seals and try to shoot that tree using only your right hand." As his uncle said, Ryuma shot the tree with the Lightning Stream using only his right hand and did not met with any problems at all, He initiated it perfectly. "What? That's it? This is so easy. I didn't expect it to be as easy as walking on the mill" he bragged with full confidence. "Huh! Don't be so cocky kid! I just wanted you to feel it. So did you feel anything? I mean inside your body?" his uncle questioned. "Now that you say it i think i felt something weird. I felt the electric current is somewhat blocked and cannot pass through from my left arm. What's the meaning of that?" he confusedly asked. "I temporarily blocked the electric current from passing through your left arm to make it focus its power only to your right. Here is the logic of it, when you use both your hands to unleash a Lightning Stream technique, your electric currents along with your chakra tends to flow and come out naturally. But of what you did earlier, when i blocked your left arm, your electric current and chakra tends to find its way out in an strong and fast manner. Easily speaking, it becomes way more powerful than using both hands. Your problem now isn't to form the shape or add the current into it. Your problem is how to block your chakra and currents and not let it enter from one of the passageways going through either of your arms." his uncle explained to him thoroughly and in a detailed manner. Ryuma was stunned and cannot absorb all of it at the same time, he just said "Uh.. Okay" to make the pacing much faster.

On to the next day, his real training had already started. His sweating real hard and had a hard time figuring out how to block his chakra and electric current from passing on through his left arm while releasing the technique from his right hand. He tried and tried a number of times until the moment came when he gave up and shouted with a lot of frustration and stress coming out from the top of his voice "Ahh!! Why do i have to do this if i can shoot it using only one hand!". His uncle told him off "You idiot! I wouldn't even bother teaching you if its not necessary! Look at the tree! Compare the damage you've done yesterday with a blocked passageway than the damage you've done earlier". Ryuma looked at the tree's body, he saw two spiral shaped crater, one had a bigger size but seems to be shallow while the other one was a bit smaller in size but was deep because he can see the other side of the tree through a small hole in the center of the said crater. After seeing the difference between the two damages, Ryuma had a motivation to learn the blocking of his passageway even more. He wants to become much more powerful and he thought that by learning this, his power level will increase up a notch. He trained real hard non-stop until the night catches the sky, he was lying on the ground and looking up at the stars. "How can i do it... How... Father..." he complained to himself for not being able to figure out how to do it. "Kid! Its time to eat! Come here, training can wait but foods don't" his uncle shouted at him from inside the house. Ryuma stood up with a depressed look in his face and walked inside the house.

While on the table, Ryuma looked really disappointed while slowly eating his food. "Why so depressed kid? Is it that hard?" his uncle tried to comfort him but couldn't get through him. "Uncle. I have a question I've been meaning to ask of you" Ryuma looked at his uncle with a desperate eyes. "So what is it?" his uncle rest his chin on his hand. "During your ninja days, how do you fight an opponent?" Ryuma asked curiously. "Well, if you'd ask me. I had to say that I am a ninja who likes to fight a fire with fire. Meaning i will fight a brute force with a brute force. I will gonna force my way through the enemies defenses." his uncle bragged as he seems to reminisce something and is smiling about it. Ryuma looked down and seems to be in deep thought when suddenly a phrase that came from his uncle's mouth ringed through his mind. Fight fire with fire was continuously rotating through his ears and he then tried to find a clue between those group of words. "I GET IT!" Ryuma excitingly shouted as he had risen from his disappointment.

On the next morning before the sun had risen, Ryuma woke up early and pondered about what to do for his training. He tried to find a connection between the phrase "Fight fire to fire" and his training about blocking his chakra passageway. He can't really think of anything else but to just make a schedule and organize his time. He decided to divide his time by doing training during the day and think about a way to block it during the night. As the time cycles, Ryuma tried hard to train his body by day, and then by night he tried to think about a way to connect the phrase that he believed is a clue to his training. He spent weeks following this kind of schedule, everyday he tried his very best to find a way to block his chakra. A day came with him cannot think of anymore ideas on how to finish up this training, he then just hypothetically said "Oh well, I had no luck with this thing... I'll just use my chakra to block another chakra... Maybe it'll work at least.." as he sighed due to stress. He then lifted his right hand and faced it on the tree, he used his chakra on his left arm to try and block incoming chakras from other parts of his body. Later as he continued to block the chakra with his chakra he felt that the flow of his chakra became abruptly fast and it seems to be finding its way out of his body. "This is the feeling!" he noted to himself while trying to maintain his balance and concentrate on forming the shape of the Lightning Stream. He waited as the chakra burst out of his right palm and at an exact time it went out, he fired the Lightning Stream and shoot it at the tree where he was facing. He saw his technique piercing like a bullet through the tree's thick body and after a few seconds, he walked nearer to the tree's body and saw a hole punched from the center of his techniques area and he can see through the other side of it. "So this is the difference between them..." he said to himself.

After learning a way how to block his chakra and make it go to the other side releasing a powerful energy, the next one he has to do is how to make it more powerful than just of that. "Now you've learned how to control the chakra flowing in yah, Its time now for the shape. Make it more lethal." he looked at his uncle while lecturing him. He thought of a way how to make the technique more lethal without changing its shape. But until that time, he trained more and grasp the mastery of his chakra control while firing the technique unto the trees in the backyard. After a few more days, he felt that he had already mastered controlling his chakra so he moved on to the next pace which is to make the shape of the technique more lethal. Ryuma didn't want to change the shape because it will not be an Raiton-Rakurai Shuryuu anymore. Instead he thought of a way which makes the shape more dangerous but at the same time, it will still be having the same exact shape as it has on its original form.

He tried several methods and he even tried to change the shape because he can't think of anything else. Ryuma rested on the grasses and looked up in the sky. He squinted his eyes and saw a ball flying towards him, he used both his hands and guarded his head. He stood up and saw his uncle smiling and shouted at him saying "Hey! Let's play ball!" he said. Ryuma agreed and held the ball on his hands, he looked at the ball and it has a different texture and a different feeling into it. "Uncle! What kind of ball is this?" he shouted asking his uncle from a far distance. "That's a chakra ball! Perfect for your training kid! Use your technique against that ball and try to make it go towards my body." his uncle replied back at him. Ryuma looked down on the ball again and heard his uncle shouted "Oh and by the way! That ball adapts the power and the speed of your technique when you used into it. So be sure to make it a powerful AND speedy one".

Ryuma threw the ball into the air, and as the ball descends he prepared his technique and as it levels into him he thrust his technique unto the ball making the ball go towards his uncle holding such tremendous power. "Not bad kid, not bad... But not enough!" his uncle sneak his hands on the bottom of the ball and slide it towards his shoulder, he then flickered his shoulder that makes the ball volley upward on the air. His uncle then kicked it with a somersault towards Ryuma. Ryuma had no chance to dodge it because the ball flew towards him with formidable speed that he didn't even saw the ball when it was kicked by his uncle, he had no chance to run as his body catches the ball. "Uhh!" he groaned as he was thrown away at about 6 meters away from his position. What an incredible speed?! It not only contains power but also speed... Ryuma thought that he couldn't win against his uncle if he kept using his normal way of initiating his Lightning Stream technique. When he was lying on the ground, he thought of one of his technique called Raiton - Raikou Yama no Jutsu which travels much much faster than an orb shape raiton technique. He stood up with his head bowed down, his uncle shouted at him "Kid! You surrendering already?". Hearing that, Ryuma suddenly looked at his uncle with serious eyes and shouted back "I don't know that word. Maybe you?!" he then once again threw the ball up and form in his hands an orb shape Raiton - Rakurai Shuryuu but having a size of a bullet, much much more compressed chakra than before. He then thrust the ball with it giving the ball an abominable power and speed. It flew towards his uncle with lightning speed, the ball came flying at his uncle and caught him off guard, knocked him down, and was thrown away by the impact. "That boy..." his uncle tried to stood up, feeling a little dizzy he lifted his head with his hand. "Boy! You're as strong as your father... Let's take a break" his uncle invited him inside to eat and end the training session.

After training for a few days, Ryuma decided to take a rest and wander around the city even for just a little bit. He went to his room to get something and got out afterwards, he brought with him some pocket money to spend and his pouch that contains his kunais and other things. ”Uncle! I’ll just go outside!” he shouted on his uncle who was upstairs, he then wears his shoes and went outside. While walking his way on the city a sudden fearful thought crosses his mind, he was reminded of the black-cloaked people that burned his village into ashes and killed his family. He continued walking, wandering why of all events, he was reminded of that instead. When he was on the city, he saw a person wearing a grotesque suit, he cannot distinguish the gender of the person because that person wears a black long hooded tunic. The person seems to be looking for something and was walking around the marketplace from stall to stall. Ryuma had a feeling that he needed to follow up on this person, he didn’t hesitate and stealthily followed the person who seems to walk faster and faster and seems to have noticed him trailing.

Ryuma followed the weird looking person until they arrived at the forest outside the city. He quickly jumped atop tree branches and hid his presence from the person, he followed him by hopping from tree to tree and makes sure that he must not lose track of the person. After a few minutes of trailing, he looked down to check up on the person, and he was surprised to see the person surrounded by ninja bandits. He noticed that the person can’t seem to know how to defend his self, so Ryuma decided to jump down and help him. ”Stand back!” he commanded. ”You!” when Ryuma heard the voice of the person, it seems to be the one his pursuing is a girl. A girl?! What is she doing here? he asked himself as he looked at the bandits masked face one by one. He then prepared himself for a fight, he brought out a kunai on his pocket and hold it tightly. ”I will protect her, so bring it on!” Ryuma provoked one of the bandits to come and attack him.

They all observe each other, sensing what will the other do, what will be his next move. The bandits slowly walked sideways while facing Ryuma, one of them tried to stab Ryuma from behind. Seeing the bandit made an attempt to hurt him from the back, he jumped quickly into the air and kicked the bandit that tried to hurt him into the face. The bandit was thrown from the impact of Ryuma’s foot to his nose as it bleeds heavily. The other 3 ganged up as they ran towards Ryuma and tried to slash him with their daggers. He kicked the first bandit on the abdomen as he get nearer to him and quickly jumped back and performs a series of hand seals, the second and third bandit jumped as the first one was thrown towards them. Ryuma then thrust his palm unto the second bandit and shouted ”Raiton – Rakurai Shuryuu” as the bandit was thrown away crashing to his partner. ”What the?! Let’s get out of here… You’ll pay for this brat!” as the bandits flee and disappeared amidst the fog within the forest. ”Thank you” the girl looked at him with thankful and cheery eyes, then the girl left immediately afterwards.

Morning came, Ryuma woke up and looked like he was still tired from yesterday. He thought of the girl whom he met yesterday and was tired because of it. ”Enough of the thinking.. I must train now…” he stood up and take a bath, he wears his usual clothing and had eaten breakfast with his uncle. Afterwards, Ryuma went straight to their backyard to train and perfect the technique Raiton – Rakurai Shuryuu no Jutsu. He molded his chakra into a bullet-sized orb and covered it with an electric current coming from inside his body. He then shoot it at a tree on the backyard and punched a hole that renders the other side of the tree visible. Ryuma was not contented by this so he decided to ass something to the technique in order to make it more powerful and deadly. ”What do I need to do in order for this technique to become much much powerful…” he wondered as he sat on the grass and thought about it. He then initiated the technique again, but this time his palm was facing his left shoulder instead. He thrusted the technique unto his left shoulder and was thrown away, bearing the pain but noticed something. ”So that’s it… The original purpose of this technique, I didn’t given much thought about that..” feeling disappointed to himself, he stood up and tried to perfect the technique once and for all.

Ox – Monkey – Dog – Dragon

He performed the four required handseals and molded his chakra into a bullet-size form from his right hand palm. He then gathered a lot of electric energy from within his body and mixed it with the chakra on his hand. The chakra orb on his palm glows brightly, emitting a blue colored aura around it, and a tremendous surge of electric current the cycles within it. He then lift up his hands and face his right hand palm in the direction of the tree near him. Ryuma released and shoots out his technique unto the tree, upon impact, the trees body had been crushed and destroyed the tree itself. ”Paralyzing the opponent is the real purpose of this technique… I am ashamed of myself that I had forgotten about it…” he then bowed down and grasped his aching shoulder. ”Ryuma! Training session is finished! Come and eat here!” his uncle called for him and he replied back ”Hai!” with a smile on his face, showing that he had accomplished something.

After several days of training, Ryuma had finally gone to his last stage of training for Raiton - Rakurai Shuryuu. He just had to add some finishing touches and his good to go. He recapped of what he had learned so far and at the same time doing it. First is the initiation of the hand seals which is:

Ox - Monkey - Dog - Dragon

After that, he had to block his chakra passageway on his other arm, controlling the chakra and mold it into the other hand. "This might need some little adjustments..." he said while doing that part of the technique, and manage to adjust it according to his observation. Next, is forming the shape of the chakra, turning it into an orb with a size as big as a bullet. A bullet-sized orb is able to pierce its way unto the target's body with devastating speed and power as he explained it to himself while performing that part of the technique. He then accumulated a lot of electric current from within his body and mixed it with the chakra he formed, the orb glowed emitting a bright blue aura because of the electricity it combined with. He then shoot it at the ground, creating a 5 meter radius crater from the ground.

Ryuma satisfied with what is the outcome of his training. He smirked and lift his hands up high into the air and shouted "Ahhh!!! Finally I am finished!".
