Other world chimera [Naruto fanfic]

20. Raiton

“Alright Tomoka, mama will teach you all she knows about lightning release!” Himiko shouted while acting like an excited little girl. She had prayed for her cute daughter to inherit her elemental transformation since day one. 

“Watch carefully and study my chakra so you can learn it” While saying that Himiko took Tomoka’s hand in her own before releasing small sparks of electricity from her open palm. 

Not wasting a moment, Tomoka began analyzing everything she could about her mother’s chakra. To tell the truth, this method wasn’t the most efficient way of teaching. Only someone with above average chakra sensing could glean any information from this.

Tomoka doesn’t have a high level of chakra sensing, not even average. Said average is referring to Jounin ninja by the way. Anyway, Tomoka shouldn’t be able to learn from this, no normal person should. Fortunately Tomoka is not normal. 

The little girl watched how sparks appeared and disappeared from her mother’s open palm. As she did she began analyzing the little information she was getting. The first thing she realized was that the electricity was moving slow. 

Don’t misunderstand Tomoka, the sparks were plenty fast. However, they weren’t as fast as they should be. Electricity moves at the speed of light, but this elementalist chakra didn’t. This led her to believe that this wasn’t the electricity she knew. 

She began to think about the Elementalizations. Even though they resembled natural phenomena they acted differently. Fire made with a jutsu could start normal, natural fires. However, fire made with a jutsu would always disappear once the chakra fueling it disappeared. 

The same applies to the other elements. This means that each element is a copy of the natural element. Lightning release is not real lightning but a copy of it. The same applies for the others. With taking into account this conclusion Tomoka began thinking about how this is achieved. 

To copy something you need to make it resemble the original. Electricity is nothing more than the movement of electrons through a material due to a charge imbalance. How does one replicate this through chakra? 

As she thought she began to unconsciously experiment using her free hand. She attempted to create a charge imbalance using her chakra. It vibrated and moved as it began changing. Little did she know this was not the normal way other Lightning users did it. 

Chakra is a form of energy that is part of living beings. It responds to the living being’s will. Normal lightning users saw lightning and forced their will into their chakra changing it to resemble lightning. 

Tomoka, on the other hand, understands electricity. She knows what it is and how it works. Because of this her understanding of lightning is completely different from other shinobi. Her lightning release is not just a replica of lightning through observation. It is for all intents and purposes electricity. 

As she continued to think and theorize her subconscious mind had gotten to work in making her thoughts a reality. Her Chakra became something akin to a wire, extremely conductive. Next Her chakra caused a charge imbalance between the two ends. The end result was a lightning fast sap of electricity flowing through the chakra wire.

It was too fast for anyone to notice besides Tomoka. She looked at her hand. She had felt it, an electric discharge flowing from her thumb to her index finger. At that moment something clicked in her mind. She understood what she needed to do. However, she wasn’t satisfied. 

Something in her was telling her that there was far more potential to be tapped into. However, she also felt that there was something missing. It was like she was standing in front of a door with a key in hand while the door in question had two different keyholes. 

Putting those thoughts aside, Tomoka concentrated in replicating what she had done before. Unlike normal lightning releases, Tomoka’s version was stronger yet unstable. It is faster and the power contained is larger but the control is lacking. She could easily sap herself if she isn’t careful. 

Concentrating once more. She created a new chakra wire. Just like before she made a charge imbalance and a sap of lightning flew through the wire. Analyzing the result, Tomoka smiled wryly. The chakra wire had been obliterated. 

Once again she repeated her actions, she created a new wire and a charge imbalance. Another sap. This time she wanted to go a bit further. Instead of one wire she made two. However, something unexpected happened once she made the charge imbalance. 

The electric discharge jumped wires creating a lightning mesh for a fraction of a second. It seems the wires had been too close to each other. The mesh had been a millimeter wide however, that was enough to give her a scare. 

Tomoka didn’t realize at the moment but her parents had been focusing intently on her. For someone to grasp elemental transformation in a matter of minutes was incredible. Once again the words prodigy and genius solidified in their mind.
