Re: Learning jutsu at lightning speed [Private]

Sun Jan 08, 2017 4:07 am

Komon teased his brother in response to the excitement. “Yep you practically know chidori already” Before laughing and shaking his head at the same time, before continuing his sentence. “No, That only confirms that you have lightning chakra not that you’ve gained the ability to manipulate it, Next I want you to form visible lightning chakra and show me that you can control it like this.
Through the past couple of months Komon had learned to manipulate his lightning based chakra with little to no effort and began to fluctuate the electricity from his chest sending it down his arm, as he audibly said “You’re going to feel your base chakra starting in your chest, at least thats where I’ve always felt mine, when you feel it you're going to want to electrify it and send it to your arm like this.” Komon would say as he let the electricity flow to his palm and a small blue jolt of electricity quickly crackled in his hand.

As he did this he turned his head to his brother before continuing his instructions. “Now it's your turn”

How in the hell am I supposed to electrify it?I, Komori wondered to himself but was reluctant to ask, as he wanted to prove to his brother as well as himself that he was capable of utilizing the same chakra nature as Komon in addition to his late parents. Komori imagined the negatively charged energy moving throughout his nervous system as well as animating the brain's will in every flourish, breath, and unthinking heartbeat, as he had read in a medical textbook before. He attempted to control the chakra energy which was inside of him to see if he would be able to make it switch from the feeling of liquid water moving throughout his body to the feeling of static electricity coursing through his chakra network. His body shook a little from the new feeling of static which he was experiencing across the innermost networks of body. He felt as though he had received a new burst of energy and was left with a sense of renewal.

Komori then attempted to replicate what his brother had done by seeing if he was able to channel this newly discovered chakra nature into the palm of his right hand. The inside of his arm burned but did not necessarily feel like fire. Instead, it felt as though small amounts of electricity were coursing through his arm and bouncing around on the inside, creating friction, and therefore creating heat, as the two are heavily related. A faint blue spark bolted from the tip of his index finger but faded before it was able to be noticed by Komori. Komon might have noticed it due to his visual prowess but Komori could not ask, as he did not even see it. Instead, an awkward amount of time passed full of nothing but frustration. He stopped channeling for a moment and groaned before lifting his arms above his head. “This is so lame. I coulda sworn that I had lightning nature, you know?” Komori was beginning to get angry at this point. He was walking around and circles and dropped his hands as he began to talk with them profusely. “Like come on,” he said as he raised his arms in the sky in exasperation before throwing them back to the ground. Due to Komori getting angry, he felt as though he was burning with anger. However, he was more annoyed than he was angry, so this turned out to be the lightning chakra nature inside of him, manifesting throughout his body in a rather odd way. As his hands were thrown back down to their sides, a small, quick coil of blue electricity shot out of the palm of his hand, which resulted in Komori zapping himself in his own foot.

Komon watched his brother struggle to manipulate the lightning chakra inside him, and watched as he began to grow angry with himself, Komon’s byakugan was active during this stage so he could watch the manipulation of Komori’s chakra and see how he was going about controlling his chakra. At one point he noticed something that Komori himself hadn't even noticed. His twin had succesfully sent out a very faint, very quick crackle of electricity through one of his fingers. Komon let a smile crack on his face as he saw this but did not comment on it, his brother seemed to be figuring this out well enough on his own.

His brother than began to ramble on about how he couldn’t do it and then started talking to his own hands. The sight made Komon laugh, but what followed had him rolling on the ground. In his brothers rage he accidently sent a jolt of electricity out of his own arms and sent it flying forwards to his own feet, electrocuting himself in the process. Komon found this hilarious, his brother had finally figured out how to use electricity but had shocked himself in the process, the sight gave him a flashback to when he first mastered his Kieren No Jutsu, in the process he had sent way too much chakra to his palm and had been unable to control it. Komon winced as he remembered the electricity sending him backwards.

After finishing his fit of laughter Komon rose off the ground and helped his brother up, before assuring him “Don’t worry it happens to the best of us… Come on let's go eat, I know a diner Just down the road. On the way their I can teach you lightning Javelin, the technique will help you run faster and also increase your strength, then after we eat I can teach you chidori.”

Komori had been hopping around on his good foot while cradling his freshly electrocuted foot while repeating, “Ow ow ow ow ow,” over and over as he had fallen to the ground until his brother began talking. He did not even notice the wince of his twin brother, who was surprisingly less attractive than himself, as he was on the ground nursing his sore foot. However, since he was not yet adept in lightning based ninjutsu, so the power of the jolt was relatively minor. In no time, he was being pulled up from his position on the ground. He hesitantly placed his foot down, but was relatively surprised that he did not feel any pain, only a minor tickling like when one’s foot falls asleep. “So lightning javelin?” Komori had not yet heard of this move, as he had never quite paid attention to lightning based techs, due to the fact that he did not realize that he was compatable with the techniques. He rather liked the idea of being able to move faster than he already could. In fact, his speed was one of his favorite aspects in combat, and he hoped he would be able to train it up more in the future. Therefore, Komori was eager to learn the technique which Komon was about to explain.

“Yeah lightning javelin” Komon said to his brother not understanding the question at first, then after an awkward pause Komon realized he was asking him to explain the technique “Ooooh” he would mutter as he signaled his brother to follow him down the road, before he began to explain how the jutsu worked. “So, Lightning javelin is a B rank Lightning technique that uses electricity to stimulate the user's muscles, granting them greater strength and speed than they had before. In order to do this the user needs to surround themselves in a faint aura of electricity that they can control perfectly, it's a complicated technique but you should be able to figure it out between the time we get to the diner and the time we get back to the training grounds. It requires no hand signs so you're just going to have to expel electrified chakra and learn to control it, I don't really know how to put it into words….” Komon finished before continuing, “Here, just watch”

Komon looked to his brother before crouching to the ground and getting into a running stance placing both arms in front of him gripping the ground, as he did so a blue aura of electricity began to surround him causing his hair to stick up and began to stimulate his speed, using the speed boost he quickly moved behind his brother faster than he could perceive before muttering “Over here” and flicking him in the back of the head.

Komori took mental notes on the way in which Komon had prepared himself to activate the jutsu, such as the stance of a runner and the manner by which Komon had crouched down to the ground. He witnessed the blue electricity which sprouted from various regions on body of Komon until the blue aura encompassed him as a whole. Komori was left in awe of this sight, but not for long, as Komon then promptly ran behind him, which surprised him, before flicking him in the head while he had his back turned. The more attractive of the two brothers then grabbed the back of his head with his left arm and began to rub the now sore spot that originated from the flick which Komon had just hit him with. He silently resented him for that, while also being impressed with his speed, as Komori had not been training with Komon as of late, and as such, had not taken into account how fast his brother had become. He made a mental note of this as well, in the event of any future pranks. However, Komori was also sad as this meant that he and Komon had not been together as much as they had when their parents died and all they had was each other. He made yet another mental note to enjoy the company of his brother more often and cherish the time they had together. Hopefully, he would not lose track of how many mental notes he was making.

Komori then took the advice that his brother had given him and went down into the stance of a runner, bending forward with his fingers touching the pavement of the roads in the Village Hidden in the Clouds, with his bottom stuck up in the air. His feet were mainly off the ground, leaving only his toes touching. He closed his eyes in an attempt to concentrate to focus on his chakra nature, switching from the natural state of feeling like a gushing river, which was his default chakra nature. He focused and took a deep breath as he tried to change it to a secondary one, feeling the water nature subside until it felt as though it became a still pond. The pond then felt as though it was draining, instead it was being replaced by electricity sparking around until it developed into a full fledged lightning storm. Komori felt as though this storm was raging inside of him, as he opened his eyes, as a small bolt of electricity seemingly swept across them, which showed his now supercharged self. He crouched down and leaned on his hind legs while still in the runner’s stance, as he allowed his now blue electric chakra nature to began to manifest itself into an aura. He could see the blue lightning began to form on his body, mainly on his arms and legs, until they encompassed his entire body. He did notice, however, that the lightning aura was much more intense in relation to the rest of his body. He simply smiled, seemingly more confident with this newfound surge of energy originating from within his chakra nature. Komori used the tips of his fingers to slightly pull forward on the ground and used his legs as a spring to kick off from the ground at an immediate sprint. He began by pumping his arms in sync with his legs before eventually running too fast to maintain arm movement, so both of his arms swung out until they were behind him as he continued to run while laughing with glee as he enjoyed the newfound feeling of intense speed. Komori lowered his head in an attempt to cause the aerodynamics to be in his favor, in an attempt to make him even faster as he continued down the road to the next intersection. Komon had inspired him to become even faster by showing him this new technique, which would in turn have an impact on the manner in which he trained in the future.

However, he soon began to realize that he seemed to be moving slightly slower and that the glow of the aura had begun to dim ever so slightly. Despite not having any form of visual prowess, Komori still had keen eyes. The electrified aura then began to unstabilize and arc quickly and sporadically in all directions, sparking tiny bolts of electricity off of his body. Komori panicked for a moment at the unforeseen turn of events, and as a result, stopped focusing on maintaining his lightning chakra nature and instead the blue aura quickly faded away, all while Komori had still been running. His legs, not used to the sudden change in speed, attempted to continue to go as though they were enhanced by lightning javelin, but instead only caused him to trip. He began to fall face first, which would have meant scraping his beautiful face horrendously against the road before quickly turning his body so that his shoulder would take the brunt of the impact. He landed hard on his shoulder, as he slid for a few meters before coming to a complete stop in the middle of the road.
“Ouch,” was the last thing Komori said as he laid flat on the ground in the shape of a star, with his arms and legs spread and he rested his head against the ground before groaning in disappointment.

Komori watched as his brother lost control of his chakra mid sprint and toppled over in the streets. He found it hilarious as he skidded across the dirt like a skipping stone on a river, before the brothers momentum died out and he could see his brother was in a reasonable amount of pain, Knowing that the fall would have hurt his brothers pride more than a little bit Komon held back the laughter and walked over to help him up again, Komori may have been great with water chakra but he was by no means a prodigy in lightning nature. Komon had noted everything his brother had done with the help of his byakugan and how the chakra had flowed, It was sporadic and uncontrolled but plentiful, Komori was certainly going to have to work on his control.

Komon could tell Komori would need further instruction when he saw him begin to lose control of the lightning. This caused him to think back to his training in the woods with his summon Tiaopi when he had just been trying to increase his run time between the two trees. He remembered how many times it had taken him before he was finally able to control the lightning aura in an effective way, and decided it would be both faster as well as easier to simply interject and give him the secret to the control rather than have him search for it himself. “Alright Komori, with this jutsu you need to focus on your breathing, it's the most essential part of the technique, as you surely noticed in your last attempt lightning is a sporadic element, and as such requires precision to control. When you breath you are setting the course for the rest of your body to follow, if you breath sporadically you will end up with sporadic chakra. Find a more natural rhythm and practice with it. His brother seemed pretty down about not being able to learn the technique as quickly as he wanted to, and in an attempt to cheer him up, Komon wanted to challenge him. He smiled as he thought of an idea, which he then said out loud, “Hey, as soon as you get that under control then we can start a race to see who can get to the diner first.”

“Uhm, excuse me.” The boys were interrupted by the sound of a rather small voice as a girl around their age approached the twin brothers. It turned out to be Lilly, who was a very kind girl that Komori had spent some time with, albeit most of that time was spent while he was injured in bandages. She had a look of worry on her face, which Komori quickly realized was caused by him. He picked himself off the ground, using one of his arms to prop himself up. “Oh hey, Lilly, what’s up?” Komori said over casually, a mannerism in which he hoped his brother did not pick up on. He attempted to lift his other arm up to scratch the back of his head in embarrassment, before he felt a sharp pain burning in his shoulder. He stifled a groan, but not well enough. She rushed over to his side and stopped lower to the ground as she began to tend to his shoulder. Her hands lit up with an emerald glow as she began applying medical jutsu to the affected area. Komori could already feel the pain alleviating as a result of her jutsu at work, which he was immensely thankful for.

She had been so preoccupied with his safety, that she had not even noticed the presence of the other twin brother, whom she had never met. She looked up at him while continuing her medical jutsu on the shoulder of Komori, and leaned closer to him as she whispered in his ear, “Did you by any chance use shadow clone? Why is there another you. And why are his eyes different? And what’s up with the scar?” Komori laughed slightly at her confusion and barrage of questions, although the laugh still hurt his somewhat injured shoulder, before answering, “Although I can use that technique, I didn’t today. This is just my less attractive identical twin brother, Komon. He inherited my mom’s visual prowess, while I got my dad’s kekkei genkei. He’s cool and all I guess.” Lilly then replied by saying, “I would’ve preferred a shadow clone,” before letting out a small giggle. “One of you is enough to deal with.” Komori laughed once more before looking back to Komon for his response.

“Gee, thanks,” Komon said with a touch of sarcasm in his voice before slapping his brother in the back of the head again. Before turning his head to the girl, his brother had just called Lilly, “And I got the scar from a training accident with some kunai when I was just a child.” before turning to Komori and mouthing the word, “Dibs.”

While Komon continued to talk to Lilly, Komori had instead been listening to the words that Komon had said before Lilly came over to attend to his wounds, Focus on your breathing, it's the most essential part of the technique. Komori had faintly nodded to himself in a gesture of commitment and had been taking slow breaths in through his nose and out through his mouth as his brother talked to the girl Komori had a crush on. Wait a second, Komori thought to himself, my brother is talking to the girl I have a crush on. This won’t end well. So instead, Komori turned his head towards his brother in time to see him mouth the word, “Dibs.” If looks could kill, Komon would have dropped dead on the spot. Komori was terrible at mouthing words, so he tried to keep it short by simply mouthing. “No.”

His shoulder had started to feel significantly better thanks to the medical assistance that Lilly had provided. Shortly afterwards, she began to stop the medical jutsu entirely, before saying, “That’s the best I can do with the training I’ve had so far, Komori.” The pair stood to their feet as Komori rotated his shoulder a few times to stretch it out as Lilly continued, “Although you should probably check by the hospital to make sure you didn’t damage any muscles or anything.” Komori shrugged which did not even cause him any feeling of pain or discomfort. “I feel fine. And it’s all thanks to you, you know.” She blushed slightly at this before Komori thought of something else to do. Breathing, he reminded himself. “It was great seeing you again Lilly, but I’m afraid I have to run. Komon and I were going to race to the diner down the road, and I need to head start. Bye!” Komori said before channeling his newly discovered lightning chakra into a blue aura that surrounded his body as he began to sprint down the road before Komon in a dirty attempt to win, although he knew it was not a very feasible goal.

He paid extra attention to his breathing patterns this time, careful to maintain even breaths while also paying close attention to his chakra nature. He felt as though there was actually lightning inside of him, outside of his chakra. For the first time in a long time, Komori felt truly free as he ran as fast as he could towards the diner in a desperate attempt to beat his twin brother and his immense speed.
