Naruto - The Wind Calamity

Chapter 161 : Training Lightning Release

After reaching home, Fujin thought, 'I guess that's the highest level of difficulty a rank B mission can get. Looks like my self-analysis of being Jounin level wasn't incorrect. Unfortunately, Konoha wouldn't promote me anytime soon. Also, tougher missions would mean that my life will be at more risk. My calculations were right. I should use this time to strengthen myself as much as I can.'

Fujin entered one of the rooms in the basement and turned on the lights. The room was empty. Fujin took out a scroll and summoned a few devices. There was a transformer, an Ammeter, an Ohmmeter, rubber boots, rubber gloves and a few wires.

Fujin wore the boots and began arranging the set-up while thinking, 'In order to avoid suspicion, I memorized the training process for all five elements long back. Only training methods for Yang and Yin elements aren't available in the library.

For the Lightning element, the way to train is a bit complicated as compared to Wind and Earth. Though at the same time, it is straightforward. I just have to endure shocks in increasing intensity to master it.

I will first need to measure the resistance of my body. And then I will have to use the Transformer to subject my body to increasing voltages. That will induce a current to flow through my body.

Even that has to be done in phases. My limbs can endure a higher current. But if a current passes through my heart or brain, then it could be lethal. Those two parts will have to be trained separately.

Anyways, the first step of learning Lightning release is being able to withstand 10 Ampere current through my whole body for one minute. The second step is to produce that much current on my hands. With these 2 steps alone, I will be able to learn Lightning jutsus up to rank B. Rank A and S will need me to be able to resist and produce a stronger current.

That said, increasing the intensity of the current that I can produce will strengthen the lower-ranked jutsus. Of course, on the flip side, I can use rank C and lower jutsus after being able to produce a current of 100 milliamperes. But it won't be very strong.

Fujin completed the setup. He created a Shadow clone to control the voltage. The setup had 2 open-ended wires. Fujin grabbed one with his left hand. He taped the 2nd wire to his upper arm. This way, the current would enter his hand, pass through his arm and leave through the wire attached to his upper arm.

The clone set the output of the transformer to 10V and switched it on. The current began flowing through Fujin's body. A number appeared on the Ammeter which was attached to the circuit. It read 0.125 mA.

Fujin began calculating, '0.125 milliamperes for 10 Volts would mean that my body resistance is 80,000 Ohm. The scroll said that I should be able to feel the current when it reaches 1 milliampere.'

He looked at his clone and said, "Increase it to 80 Volts."

His Clone nodded and increased the output of the transformer. Immediately, Fujin began to feel a slight tingling sensation through his arm.

Fujin let the current flow through his arm for a minute. He looked at his clone and said, "Increase to 200 volts."

His clone increased it. The current rose to 2.5 mA. It still wasn't painful for Fujin. Fujin recalled the details in the scroll, 'The Scroll was right at stating that we will feel the current at 1 milliampere. At 5 milliamperes will feel very disturbing to a normal human being, but it won't be very painful.

From 6 milliamperes, it will start getting painful. From then on, the muscles will start losing control. If a normal human is hit by this, he will just let go of the object that electrified them involuntarily.

Beyond 17 milliamperes, a normal human will begin experiencing extreme pain. He can't let go of the object and there is a chance of death.

Beyond 100 milliamperes, pumping of the heart becomes uncoordinated and nerve damage begins. At 2 Ampere, there will be a high chance of cardiac arrest, internal organ damage and severe burns. Death becomes very likely.
