"However by training in the use of your element it is possible to cut back not only the number of hand seals a jutsu uses, but also the amount of chakra required for a jutsu. This comes from understanding the basics of how your element works, in this case how water 'flows' so to speak. Now to do this I want you to use your chakra and create a whirlpool affect in the river…"
As soon as Naruto and Udon got out of sight from the other two genin, Naruto turned around to the runny nosed preteen and began speaking. "Before we begin I want you to know that the lightning element is not only one of the most destructive, but also one of the most dangerous. While fire if used incorrectly can get you burned, and wind can get you cut. Lightning if not channeled properly can quite literally fry your nervous system and organs," Udon paled slightly at the knowledge, but still looked determined to learn. Naruto nodded his approval before continuing, "That being said lightning is also in my opinion at least the second strongest offensive element."
"What's the first strongest sensei?" asked Udon.
"Wind," Naruto answered quickly, "wind because of its almost pure offensive nature and versatility in combat makes it the most powerful offensive nature manipulation type. This is because wind can be used to slice through all kinds of matter, without regards to how strong or durable something is, or be used for blunt force trama. And while fire can beat wind due to their opposing natures, a skilled wind user can beat just about any other ninjutsu specialist out there." Naruto shook his head, "anyway we're getting off topic… Now the thing about lightning is it is not just an offensive or even defensive element, like fire and wind. There are many Raiton jutsu's that are supplemental in nature, the best example I can give you the Raiton No Yoroi (Lightning armor) that is used by the Yondaime Raikage. Which increases not only ones physical strength, but also increases speed and reflexes by speeding up the neural synapses, increasing their overall physical performance by a factor of 4." Naruto smirked as Udon had a look of awe on his face, "there are many jutsu that can do things similar to this. However all of these are more advanced than the other jutsu and require an innate understanding, if not total mastery over lightning."
Naruto used wind manipulation to cut some leaves off of the branches and handed them over to Udon, taking one of them the blond twirled it in his finger. "To start learning how to utilize this chakra I want you to make these leaves crumple, much like you did when you channeled chakra into the paper." Giving an example Naruto channeled some lightning chakra into the leaf in his hand, making the entire thing crumple, making it look similar to a candy wrapper. "To do this you will have to learn to channel enough lightning chakra to make static electricity, to do this it's best to think about what happens when you rub a balloon on your head…"
For the first week this was how Naruto would train the three genin. Every morning they would get up and do their physical work out, which Naruto had made harder by adding weights to them. Afterwards he would have them spar against each other and himself, making sure to point out there flaws and correct them. Naruto also gave Moegi and Udon a different fighting style, or to be more accurate helped them make their own style, since all they used was the academy style or as Naruto called it, the cookie cutter taijutsu style. Moegi's was a variation of what Naruto knew on the style Shizune used, which was a medical ninja style that relied on the usage of the Chakra Meisu (Chakra Scalpel), to cut tendons and muscles. Naruto had given Moegi the scroll for that jutsu, but rather then cut tendons and muscles, he made her go after tendons, muscles and the eight vital spots in the human body. With Udon he had him mix the standard academy taijutsu with jujitsu, which relied on grappling and using an opponent's weight against them. Naruto also taught Udon how to use chakra strings, allowing him to apply the basic chakra control exercise to the taijutsu style, this way he could trip or tie up his opponents temporarily to give him an edge. Neither style was complete and would not likely be for years to come, but he was sure they could make it good enough within the next month to properly use them. Thankfully Konohamaru used the Sarutobi or Saru (monkey) style taijutsu, so all Naruto had to do with him was spar and help point out his flaws.
After lunch they would then work on individual exercises. For the first two hours Naruto would have them work on their element, doing the exercises he had instructed. None of them had gotten even close to mastering them, though Konohamaru could produce smoke and slight burns on the leaf. But that was to be expected since this was jonin level training, and only Konohamaru used elemental jutsu.
After words he would then work on strategy, mainly by playing shogi and go with them. As well as chakra control, this was something Naruto had been pretty strict on. Technically they were capable of water walking, but Naruto believed that these exercises were not mastered, unless you could fight while using them. To help with this Naruto would have them spar for at least one hour, either on a vertical surface or on the water, though the latter was much more tiring since it required them to constantly pump out chakra and increase or decrease the amount according to how the water reacted to their presence. This however led to a decent increase in their reserves, while it was nothing truly significant, they had managed to gain a 15% increase in their reserves.
Naruto looked at the three genin as they entered the clearing; walking up to him they gave a greeting of 'Ohoya sensei' before awaiting their instructions.
"I'm pleased to say that you three have made remarkable progress so far," Naruto said, causing pleased smiles to spread across their faces. "Therefore I have decided to not only increase the weights, but also double our morning work outs!"
