Author's Note: Okay, I have put up a poll on if Naruto should get the Raijin no Ken, or my favorite: a default weapon. I don't know why, but again I have had the idea of Naruto with the Nevan Guitar from DMC, so he is most likely going to get it. I'm going to put up a poll about Naruto hiding his skill or not in Konoha and around people from Konoha. R&R please.

After the revelation that the Kyuubi was sealed inside of him, Naruto had a few questions that his Hokage-jiji (Old Man Hokage) was going to have to answer for him.
"Hokage-jiji, is what that man said true? Am I really the Kyuubi?" asked a nearly broken Naruto in a monotone voice. Hearing this, the Hokage's eyes widened before he asked in a commanding tone, "Naruto, who told you that?" "The man that the lightning protected me from and killed." Was Naruto's answer. After this, the Hokage's eyes widened even further. "Naruto, what exactly happened after that man caught up to you?"
After Naruto finished telling his tale, sniffling every once in a while, the Hokage's eyes were the size of dinner plates. 'To think, he has already accessed lightning chakra at such a young age, and to have enough to be able to call down a lightning storm subconsciously. This boy is going to go far' "No Naruto-kun, you are NOT the Kyuubi. It is just sealed inside of your stomach, until the day you die a mortal death, and he will die with you." "Really, I'm not the Kyuubi?" was Naruto's tearful reply. "No, Naruto, you are not." "Then, what was that 'sparky' stuff that showed up when I got mad" "Well, Naruto as far as I can tell, you have a very powerful chakra affinity to lightning, and an almost instinctive grasp on how to use it. This is amazing for someone of your age." "Ummm, Hokage-jiji, what's chakra?" Hearing this innocent question from the boy, Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Sandaime Hokage of Konohagakure No Sato, hailed as 'The Professor' for his knowledge on jutsu, face-faulted for forgetting that a seven-year old would not know what chakra is.
After a long-winded explanation on what chakra actually was by the person he considered a grandfather, and an even longer one explaining what a chakra affinity was, Naruto had decided that it was the stuff that ninjas used to make jutsu work and that he could use lightning type jutsu. This lead to Naruto developing all sorts of strange ideas for jutsu, and to him wondering what else lightning was capable of.
____________________________________________Time Skip One Year____________________________________________
For an entire year, after the incident where Naruto discovered his affinity for lightning and wind, he had been secretly breaking into the public library after closing hours to find more information about lightning and lightning-natured jutsu. He has found many interesting facts about lightning and electricity. The first fact he had found out was that lightning basically ran on a closed circuit when it struck, going from cloud to ground to cloud. Another fact he found out was that everyone's body ran on electricity.
Now, because of him finding these facts, Naruto became even more interested in learning about how to control lightning. This thirst for knowledge led him to learning some of things: First, It is not a smart idea to try to control the electricity in an electrical socket when you hardly know anything about the way electricity flows or how to control normal chakra, let alone lightning chakra. The second was that getting shocked from messing with the electrical socket hurts.
Normal children would have learned this early on, being that their parents would have told them not to 'stick their fingers in the electrical socket' so to speak. But because of Naruto basically raising himself, he had to learn this the hard way.
After that little incident, Naruto decided to not mess with the electricity in his house for a while. He instead tried to bring out the chaotic 'stuff' (AN: He is 8 he doesn't know what chakra exactly is yet.) he felt when he was attacked by the mob. After a couple of minutes he found what felt like a writhing, randomly moving lake inside of himself. After feeling this, he became excited and tried to pull this 'lake' to the surface. Now, with this being the first time that Naruto has ever used chakra, and elemental chakra at that, he was bound to mess up somehow.
Instead of his sparky 'stuff' staying around him, it began to arc and shoot little bolts and sparks off, hitting nearly all of the electrical appliances he had in his apartment. This had the adverse affect of cutting all power to the entire complex that Naruto lived in, stranding him in the dark. Blinking owlishly to himself, Naruto began to think, "Wow, did I do this? I better ask Hokage-jiji about this."
As the Hokage (Fire Shadow) of the Village Hidden in the Leaves, normally when someone bursts through your office doors they would be eliminated immediately. However, with the intruder being an eight-year old boy, and the jinchuuriki (Power of the Human Sacrifice) of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, things went a little differently.
"Hey, leggo of me you big mask wearing freaks." Was Naruto's indignant response to being hoisted up by his arms by the personal guards of the Fire Shadow of Konoha: the Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (commonly referred to as ANBU).
"Sir, what should we do with the boy?" asked the ANBU holding onto Naruto's left arm. "Whadaya mean what should you do with me? You should put me down." Was Naruto's indignant reply. "Oh, just let him be, I'm sure he has a good reason for being here." Was the old Hokage's answer to the ANBU's question.
"I do old man, I know you told me that I have an affinity for lightning chakra, but, how do I control it?" "Well Naruto-kun, ninja usually get control of their chakra through the use of simple exercise, such as the leaf balancing exercise or the tree walking exercise. However, since you don't really use elementally neutral chakra, you can't really use those exercises, you would have to use elementally specific chakra control exercises before you could use neutral chakra and do the first two exercises I mentioned." "Huhhhhh?" was Naruto's oh so intelligent reply. "Okay Naruto, you're special, you have to do the finger current exercise and a few others, before you can do what normal people start with. Pretty much you get advanced training, then go on to normal training." "Ohh" finally, Naruto understood. With that understanding came smugness, and with that smugness, came an ego "Oh yeah, I'm the greatest…owww" until that ego was removed by a well-placed smack to the back of the head courtesy of an annoyed ANBU. "No kid, it just means that you have to work harder than everyone else to get to their level." as soon as this was said, Naruto face took on a horrified expression as he turned to his surrogate grandfather for confirmation. His only reply was a nod from the Hokage.
Soon a terrified "Noooooooo" was heard around the village.
Kumogakure No Sato (Village of the Hidden Cloud)
Looking to his left at his brother, the Raikage (Lightning Shadow) asked, "You say something Kirabi?" His reply was, "Yo bro, I ain't said nothin' fo' sho." Putting his head I his hands and shaking it, all the Raikage could say was "What the fucks wrong with you?"
Back to our regularly scheduled program
"Alright Naruto, I am going to give you one exercise on lightning-based chakra control. You will only get the next exercise when you can show me that you have mastered the exercise. The first exercise is the finger spark exercise. The key to this exercise is to be able to keep a single spark of electricity on each one of your fingers for at least ten minutes, however, your fingers have to be separated to do this exercise, this is to help build up multi-tasking and control. A master of lightning chakra is able to keep a spark going on all ten fingers for over three hours without losing control of one." "Fine Old Man, I'll be better than a master, I'll be able to hold a spark for four hours." "I'll hold you to it Naruto-kun."
And so began some of the longest three weeks of young Naruto's life, spent, through trial and error, trying to keep a spark on all ten fingers for at least an hour without losing control. At the end of the three weeks, he was able to hold a spark for up to an hour on all ten fingers before he lost control. This type of training for Naruto also produced some interesting results. Because of Naruto's curiosity and tendency to do what most others would consider stupid. Naruto had found out that he could create a current between two of his fingers if he started off with the finger spark exercise and put two his fingers together and then pulled them apart. He also found out what happens if you touch someone with it.
_______________________________________________Flash Back_______________________________________________
Naruto was walking home one night after just discovering that he could create electrical currents with two of his fingers. Suddenly, he was grabbed and drug into an alley where a clearly inebriated man was, looking pissed off at the young demon container. "Heyys, you demon filthss, whysss are youss still alives? You should have died when the Yondaime ssealed youss." Said the man with a noticeable lisp. Okay, Naruto may have taken this kind of crap before he knew that the Kyuubi was sealed inside of him, but now that he knew, he was mad. He knew that they knew that the Kyuubi was sealed inside him, and that he was an innocent child, but they still attacked him. He had finally realized that if he was actually the Kyuubi, that when they first attacked him, he would have retaliated and probably destroyed the entire village, and the villagers knew that too, yet time after time, they came after him, beating him to within an inch of his life, and hurting him for no other reason then their selfish wants.
Having realized this, still being quite angry about it, and having discovered a new completely untested technique, tonight was NOT the best night to mess with Naruto, as the drunk soon found out when about 100,000 volts went through him with a relatively low current (Realistically, this will not kill you, but it will hurt like a bitch). The man soon had passed out after the lightning natured chakra reached his brain and overloaded it. He wouldn't die, but he would wake up with one HELL of a hangover.
This is how Naruto found out something he would find hilarious for a while to come: people twitch uncontrollably when electrocuted, even after they pass out and the current is removed.
______________________________________________Flash Back End______________________________________________
After that incident, Naruto had decided to name his newly created technique Raiton: Rei Te Han Hijutsu: Yasumichuu Kairo Denryuu (Lightning Release: Zero Hand Seals Secret Technique: Closed Circuit Current).
AN: Since most of you probably didn't read the author's note at the top, most of you probably don't know that I have a poll up about Naruto's weapon, and one about him hiding his skill. I would like some input on those please. And if you did read the one at the top, well I thank you for taking your precious time to read all of those semi-insignificant details. Read and Review please. \\ //
Jutsu Notes:
Raiton: Rei Te Han Hijutsu: Yasumichuu Kairo Denryuu (Lightning Release: Zero Hand Seals Secret Technique: Closed Circuit Current) – Original Jutsu
Rank: E-B, depending on the amount of chakra used, can cause from a light shock to causing a heart attack from overloading it.
Summary: Using the finger spark exercise as a basis, the user creates a spark on the index and middle finger (or any other combination of fingers that are next to each other, but index and middle seem to work best.), and then he or she connects the fingers and pulls them apart creating a closed circuit.
Jutsu to come:
Raiton: Rei Te Han Hijutsu: Denryuu Tama (Lightning Release: Zero Hand Seals Secret Technique: Current Shot) – Original Jutsu
Rank: D-B, depending on the amount of chakra used. Can literally pierce through flesh.
Summary: Basing this technique off of Yasumichuu Kairo Denryuu, the user reconnects the fingers used to make the sparks, firing off a bolt of electricity in the direction that the fingers are pointing. Shoots bolt from middle finger. If used properly, Finger spark technique can be applied to this technique, making it a multiple shot technique with up to four shots at a time.
Raiton: Rei Te Han Hijutsu: Denryuu Bakuha (Lightning Release: Zero Hand Seals Secret Technique: Current Blast) – Original Technique
Rank: C-A, depending on both amount of chakra used and how far away the target is.
Summary: Using the principle of Denryuu Tama, the user connects all of his/her fingers at once and curls them into a fist at the same time. This fuses the power of all four shots in the Denryuu Tama, and can then be fired when the user reopens his/her hand. At point-blank range, this technique rip through bone as if it was tissue paper, and may arc to another victim because it didn't waste energy traveling to the original target.
So tell me what you think, and if you have ideas for jutsu that you think Naruto should learn/create, just PM me with the Name (preferably in Japanese with a translation), Rank, and Summary. Thank you, Read and Review please.
