Chapter 166: Learning Lightning Jutsus

Fujin said, "How long can you guys hold the Leaf on your head during the Leaf Concentration exercise?"

Daisuke answered, "23 minutes."

Tatsuya said, "28 minutes."

Buncho said, "17 minutes."

Bunjiro said, "38 minutes."

Ryoma said, "26 minutes."

Fujin said, "That's very low. No need to practice any ninjutsu for now. Increase that to one hour."

Tatsuya immediately complained, "But that exercise is so boring!"

Fujin said, "Not really a choice Tatsuya."

Ryoma complained, "Can't you just teach us any of your jutsus Fujin?"

Fujin looked at him and said harshly, "The reason why I could become strong is that my basics are good. If any of you can't maintain the leaf for an hour, you should give up your dreams of becoming a ninja and drop out of the academy."

Fujin's reply shocked them. Fujin was their age. They expected him to be cordial with them and help them like a friend. They never imagined that he'd be stricter than the academy teachers.

Before anyone could make another comment to upset Fujin, Daisuke said, "Alright Fujin. We will work on it."This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.

Fujin said, "Come back after you guys manage this. Oh, and come around noon. If I'm not at home at that time, then I'm doing a mission. So check after a few days."

Daisuke nodded. Fujin returned back home while they left his property.

They immediately began complaining. Banjiro said, "This was a waste of time. I admired him so much. I never thought that he would be so arrogant!"

Fujin managed to learn and aim it correctly in under a day. However, he realized a crucial issue, 'Though I can aim properly, I can't control the intensity of the shocks perfectly. Only in around 15% of cases, it was as intense as I wanted it to be.'

Fujin sighed in relief, 'I'm glad I didn't try those jutsus before realizing this issue. It could have been bad! Sigh, I keep underestimating this world. There is danger even while learning a jutsu!

Anyways, this issue shouldn't affect me while learning the Lightning Beam jutsu. I'll train my control after learning this jutsu.'

Lightning Beam jutsu was a B rank jutsu. This jutsu was just a powered-up version of the Lightning Blast jutsu. It could fire a beam twice as wide as the Lightning Blast jutsu. The shocks from this jutsu would be very painful and fatal.

Even if someone dodges this jutsu, they could still be attacked if they are within 2 feet of the beam. Due to the high power of the jutsu, small lightning arcs are expelled occasionally from the beam that can hit anyone in the vicinity and cause more damage than the Lightning Bolt jutsu.

Three days after Fujin began learning the jutsu, Fujin was standing in front of a metal statue. He made the hand signs and aimed his right palm at the statue. Lightning appeared in his palm and a beam was fired at the statue.

The Lightning Beam hit the statue. The statue kept getting hit by the beam for 30 seconds when Fujin finally stopped it. The statue was in a bad shape. The face had melted and couldn't be called a face anymore. Multiple cracks had occurred on the surface of the statue.

Fujin smiled, 'Alright. Single Target mid-range jutsu learnt. Now, I should work on control.'

Fujin returned to the room where he had endured electric shocks. He opened his scroll and took out a few items. He set up a circuit.

The circuit had an 80 Kilo Ohm resistor and an ammeter connected with a wire. Another couple of wires were connected to the other end of the ammeter and the resistor. These wires were left open.

Fujin grabbed the wires and began generating electricity with his right hand. The current flowed through the circuit and values began appearing on the ammeter.

Fujin decided, '2.3 Ampere current. Let me try to keep it at 1 Ampere for 10 minutes. Then I will try keeping it stable at other amperes. I should also check this with the Voltmeter instead of the Ammeter to check both readings. The resistance of the resistor doesn't decrease like the human body, but it would still be better to check.'

Fujin began practicing. His control improved slightly, but not much. The lightning was very unstable. Fujin could easily provide the max power continuously, but controlling it at lower levels was challenging.

He kept practicing till he had to go on a mission. His team gathered outside the Mission Center.

Tamotsu went in and accepted a mission. He came out and said, "I accepted a Mission to the Land of Frost. Apparently, a family heirloom was stolen. They issued a rank B mission to retrieve it. The opponents will be rogue ninjas from Kumogakure. Fujin, your Wind jutsus will be important to counter their Lightning Release."

Fujin nodded. The group made some preparations and left the village. The group travelled across the Land of Fire and the Land of Hot Water to enter the Land of Frost. The journey took a day and a half before they finally reached their destination.
