1. Name the technique(s) you are applying for and what character(s) are they for?

This application explains Kei’s learning of Hell Stab, Black Lightning, LRA, and Kirin. (These are almost exact c/p of his old applications).

2. How will said character learn said technique(s)? This is where things get interesting. The point of this question is do invoke a unique answer, an engaging one. How does your character learn the mechanics behind the technique they are learning. Make it interesting and original (not bland, and exactly the opposite). This and the last question are crucial in the overall judgement). Even the learning from the scroll method works, if you make it very original. Here, describe the actual training methods your character used to learn the technique, and more.

Lightning Release Armor & Hell Stab: So after discussing on the chat with Serk, Para and Kaze, we came up with a theory for this to work. Keep in mind this is all in Ame's Evo. Timeline.

So Kei, Yoru Uchiha, and Mamoru Hoshigaki were all on the same genin squad, Team Omoi (obviously lead by Omoi), who were (and still)all close, very close. Mamoru was already the jinchuurki of Gyuuki at the time, resulting in Bee's death at an early age (he sealed the beast into his son). His wish was for Mamoru to be protected, and for him to become the "bridge" of Kumo, kind of like how Naruto was the "bridge" that unified Konoha. And for that to happen, his will should be followed.

Anyway, Yoru was a master of the Sharingan, and Mamoru a master of his own powers, making them special in their own right. Kei, seeking to be special as well, looked in the area of his Lightning Release, which he specialized in. He aimed to become one of the greatest shinobi in lightning release, as he had nothing else really going for him at the time (as in special wise).

Kei, aiming to be great at lightning release, had always wanted to learn Lightning Release Armour, from A, but him simply asking wasn't going to cut it. Mamoru seeing this, as it was his friend's dream, appealed to A to teach him. Reluctant to teach him at first, he relented bc it was Mamoru, B's only son, and the only connection to B he had left (A & B seemed to be very close). Therefore, anybody Mamoru thought was worthy of learning the tech, A thought they were too, as he thought as B's son, he inherited his judgement. (Serk agreed to this part).

So A taught Kei, who only knew an imperfect version at first. He learned it at about 16, and learned to master it at 19-20, after A's own death.

Even though Kei had mastered LRA, he didn't know the "best" lightning release jutsu (in Gyuuki's opinon), it was Hell Stab. Gyuuki told Mamoru this, telling him that he didn't get A to teach him the greatest lightning tech, but the second best, calling Mamoru stupid, etc. Mamoru then pleads with Gyuuki, and Gyuuki relents to because of B's wishes. (Serk agreed to this as well).

(Sidenote; Para asked Kaze, and he said Gyuuki could teach Hell Stab basics, because he's a wise tailed beast who could've deducted the technique's workings, as he fought the Third many times).

So with this, Mamoru gets his friend to learn two great lightning release jutsu, which shows how he appealed to both A and Gyuuki, a former Kage (at the time, he had retired, and given his position to Darui) and a Tailed Beast, as the brigde between people in Kumo. Kei learns the basics of Hell Stab from Gyuuki, and spends the next four years mastering it.

Black Lightning: After reading Serk's Mamoru, I found a way to fit his learning of it into the story. As Kumo neared civil war, Yoru, Kei and Mamoru sided with Darui in the conflict. For several months, they trained in preparation for combat. Kei, an aspiring lightning master, would easily turned to Darui in order to learn the Black Lightning. In this time of turmoil, I could see Darui passing on Black Lightning to Kei so Kei could become a more active user of the lightning, which he was bound to be, than he himself was. Darui, having decided, would've taught Kei Yotsuki Black Lightning in the months that followed before the Civil War's beginning. This training would've involved meditation in order to increase spiritual energy. This spiritual energy increase would help Kei generate more yin natured chakra, in order to infuse with lightning. I think black lightning is highly infused lightning with yin chakra, giving it its black color. This allows it to be shaped and given form much easier. After a few months, Kei had built enough yin natured chakra to fully utilize the black lightning, and became Darui's successor of it, actively using it in the Civil war and years to come.

Kirin: During Kumo's Civil War, the main pro-Kumo unit had made their way to the enemy's capital in the lightning. Tasked with devising achieving a way inside, they went to right to work, as the capital was guarded by what they called an impenetrable wall, made from tough material, such as diamond, reinforced with chakra. It boasted of being Rashōmon strong in defensive strength. Guards lined the top, with a variety of long range weapons, including chakra. This made a close up approach unfavorable, as it posed too many dead.

Kei and others of the division fired into the sky, at the guards, hoping to take them. Kei resorted to an over-the-head aerial assault, utilizing LRA, and multiple Lightning Guns (dialed back somewhat of course) to wipe out the guards. This did prove somewhat ineffective, as the guards kept reforming, and soon more and more came to prevent the breach of the wall.

With Yoru under medical care after straining himself too far, and Mamoru forced to resort to sustaining the division with his massive chakra levels, it was up to Kei, the last leader, to finish the job and breach the wall.

After sometime had passed, many hours it had seemed, clouds of thunder began to form around the area, an exact cause of Kei's overuse of lightning in the sky. These clouds did soon begin to actually produce lightning, closer and closer to the location.

As the storm developed, it created more frequent lightning strikes, closer to the army. This forced the army to take cover, as many would die if they remained in the open. Kei however didn't deter. He shall this as his chance. If he could somehow tame the power of natural lightning, this would prove he was truly a master of lightning, and it could be the way for him to breach the wall, with a natural force.

As the clouds began their electrical charges, Kei ran out to where the lightning was to strike, ignoring protests. Reflecting on his Black Lightning training with Darui, he honed his mind, and struck his hand up, focusing his lightning Release Armour to his hand, with his single rung vambrace as a medium. When the lightning struck, he made sure it struck the specific hand, and redirected it, directly at the enemy wall, using his careful chakra control to discharge the lightning chakra he had focused, along with the natural lightning strike. This generated enough energy to break the wall, shattering the place it hit.

A large opening had been made. Kei collapsed from exhaustion and some burns, and was instantly put under medic care. But, the damage had been done. This allowed the army to invade, and would led to their eventual victory and capture of the enemy capital. Kei became known as the Electro Bringer.

3. How will the character make unique usage of this technique(s)? Similar to 2, describe how the character would use the technique uniquely and what purpose does the technique serve in their story. If they cannot use it uniquely, then you may want to rethink publishing the application. The point of this question is not to be a rehash of how it is used in canon, as the point of applying is to take techniques and expand/use them in original, interesting ways. If a technique doesn’t have a unique usage that can be thought of, then don’t apply.

LRA and Hell Stab: Kei will turn the piercing point of Hell Stab into different constructs, manipulating that part of Hell Stab to make it his own. His LRA isn't just used for speed, but to help strengthen his Lightning Release through it, and maybe even make new lightning techs through it.

By applying shape transformation, he strengthen these techniques greatly. Also by using his many styles derived from lightning, he can enhance them even more. He can also utilize them with natural currents.

Black Lightning: Since Black Lightning, in my theory, is highly yin based, Kei will manipulate it into various forms, and constructs. (Such as the Black Panther, which Darrui taught him as well as a base point for shaping black lightning). He will also use it as a medium for genjutsu as well. As hitting the opponent with black lightning would flood them with yin chakra, that could be used to implement Genjutsu at a closer range. I think it'd make the genjutsu more effective that way as well. It also has other powers, see Kei’s Black Lightning section for all of them. It would also inspire his White and eventual Silver Lightning arts.

Kirin: Of course, this jutsu cannot be used without thunderclouds around, without a lot of preparation. This is why this will be known as Kei's trump card, even though he has mastered it to a degree. Already unique because Kei generates the heat from lightning, this also poses a problem. It'd take a lot of time before the technique can be used, due to the instant nature of lightning- it may be as hot as fire, but it doesn't last as long. This requires multiple lightning strikes into the sky.

Kei wouldn't most likely use this technique in a simple battle. It'd have to be long and drawn out, and need the use of Kei's White Lightning (thought most likely in conjunction with regular lightning), a very hot lightning of high intensity, fired into the sky many times/turns during the battle's duration. This would make it as his trump card, if he ever got to use it. One shot only, and afterwards, he'd be drained.

So most likely, Kirin would be used by Kei as a either a siege jutsu prepared far in advance. He could also use this technique, prepared far in advance, to defend Kumogakure from invasion. He could also use it as a trap, a very planned out one, designed to take out a target that didn't know of his presence. Of course, in a story, if thunder clouds had already formed, he could use it more easily, but I would leave it at 1 time only, though it wouldn't drain him if he didn't have to form the thunder clouds. This all depends on whatever the story setting is in fanon canon of course.

(Note, these would be until he obtained the Kiba swords and further mastery other his element, application will be done for the twin swords & his usage of them).
