New light for Aging Eyes [Technique Training]

The sun stood high above the desert, another heated day in Sunagakure. Hardly a cloud in the sky, and the temprature was a bit brutal...but this wouldn't stop Azuma, the Jounin had been through much worse then a little desert sun. The White Wolf of the North stood among the training grounds of Sunagakure--The Sand Forge. Probably named due to its role in forging new shinobi since Sunagakure's formation. Azuma may had skipped the Academy Days, having been there since the beginning, but he'd spend a fair amount of time in the footsteps of the Shodaime Kazekage training here when he was young. "Its been a while..." he would mumble to himself, a slight smirk. Today he intended on working on a Jutsu he'd been coming up with for a while.

It really was simple in concept. Previous attempts failed, but Azuma hadn't tried outside of in passing. He'd take a breath while closing his eyes, and a hand would rise, this single hand forming hand seals--a skill of Azuma's--3 to be accurate. Chakra would be molded, and pushed through his body ,targeting his eyes. He'd open his eyes, trying to use the chakra to enhance them. He aimed to dilate his pupils to allow more light into his eyes, opening the intake for visual information wider then average. His eyes begun doing just that, but suddenly his focus was broken as his right eye--one not natural to his body, strained and ached with the flow of chakra. He'd loose his breath for only a moment, and even had to wipe a tear from the eye. "Well thats no fun...I'm going to have to regulate the chakra flow into my eyes more evenly. Means needing to keep focus...damn." Azuma would quickly analyze what had happened and how he could reduce the negative outcome--while also seeing the flaw that came with it.

He tried once more. Again his hand formed 3 gestures--Tiger, Rat, Dragon...chakra once more molded within his form and focused on his eyes. He made note to focus harder on this to keep the flow of chakra going to his eyes at a smooth flow. Once more his eyes begun to open up, pupils opening to and beyond their natural limits. He smiled, the intake for visual information was opened, and he could see much more then he naturally could. It even brightened the scene, sort of a low-light enhancement...neat side effect. "...That wasn't too hard. I've for sure spent more time making other jutsu....what am I gonna call it? Hmm...Raiden no Kokei works...why not, little flashy but who cares." The Desert Rogue would talk to himself once more...why internalize when alone anyways?

Upkeep Cost: 3
Range: Self
Speed: N/A
Element: N/A
Skill: Sensor
Classification: Open
Requirements: Sensor Skill

Description: The user focuses their chakra into their eyes, enhancing them. This dilates the pupil, increasing eyesight in low-light Conditions for the user, and overall boosts their perception. This results in +1 tier in Perception.
Weaknesses: The user must remain focused, if a sufficient enough strike occurs to the user or their focus is otherwise broken, the jutsu instantly releases. Due to stressing the eye, the jutsu can only last up to 10 rounds, and requires an equal number of rounds as a cooldown period. (Example. If the user uses the Jutsu for 3 rounds, they must wait 3 rounds before it can be used again.)

Azuma would give himself a few minutes, but it wouldn't be too long before he would be trying to master another Jutsu. This was an offshoot of one he had already learned, if only recently...given access to view a number of scrolls stolen from Konoha let Azuma learn jutsu once secret to the Leaf. Azuma would first perform something he had already mastered. Raikiri, the Lightning Cutter. Three hand seals was quickly formed,  Ox--Rabbit--Monkey, and Lightning would begin forming in Azuma's palm.

Azure arcs of lightning bolted from the center of chakra, and then he would implement what he read from the scroll. He manipulated the chakra, the Jounin changing the Raikiri to shift in form, a hound of Lightning arcing from Azuma's palm. He controlled the Lightning Beast, not as fast or graceful as Azuma himself, but surely enough to be effective. This traveled about 30 meters out before finally the jutsu broke, hitting its maximum range. He'd nod to himself...another down. Azuma was a mental giant when it came to quickly learning jutsu.

Now Azuma was focused, he was on a roll. He would remember a jutsu he'd trained to learn when he was younger but couldn't quite get, and wanted to see if he could do it now. Quickly again his hands formed seals, 6 of them. Azuma opened his mouth, and sparks begun forming in his open mouth...but fizzled out. He grunted and tried again, hand seals finished in under a second and a half--Ox, Horse, Dragon, Tiger,  Snake,  Rat--and again chakra focused seemingly on the tip of Azuma's tongue. This time it would work, and a sharp bolt of Lightning would fire forth in a straight beam...it struck the ground, leaving a rather nasty mark. "Opps..." he mumbled, scratching the back of his head nervously.

Name: Lightning Release: False Darkness
Rank: B
Power: B
Activation Cost: 10
Upkeep Cost: -
Range: 0-40m
Speed: B+
Element: Lightning
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: N/A
Requirements: N/A
Parent Technique: N/A
Hand Seals: Ox → Horse → Dragon → Tiger → Snake → Rat
Description: The user emits lightning in the shape of a spear from its mouth, which then pierces the enemy. Its destructive power is great enough to even pierce through rock; meaning it has a high killing potential. The user can increase the number of spears to attack multiple enemies. This, coupled with the sheer speed of the lightning, makes it a difficult technique to evade. This technique is capable of being focused into a straight beam, which increases its power to A-rank but loses its stunning potential, or a bolt of lightning.
Weaknesses: N/A

The Desert Rogue figured after that accident maybe having a target would work better. With a gesture, Azuma would summon a Shadow Clone to his side, who'd quickly dart across the training grounds and face the real Azuma. He formed 6 Hand seals and would let Lightning Chakra form at his hand, and from this multiple Discs of Lightning would be fired out. His old sensei used to use this and told him the basics of it when he was young...these disks would fly about, homing in on Azuma's shadow clone. The clone really did nothing to dodge, taking the hits and disappearing in a poof of smoke. With a nod, Azuma had another down...what had come over him today?

Azuma sighed, he figured this was enough for today. He had used back to back jutsu, and while he could keep going, he'd learned a number of new techniques in a short amount of time. Azuma was gifted when it came to learning new jutsu. He'd try his best to fix the damage he'd created to the ground, wasn't to hard seeing as it was mostly sand. After a while the man could be seen making his way out of The Sand Forge, and likely towards home.
