Haku was walking up the path to his Mountain training area. He had another scroll in his hand and he looked well rested. Haku looked well rested because he knew he would be learning and training this jutsu today. So, he wanted his body to be in perfect training form for the learning and doing of the jutsu enough to master it. Haku came to his training Grounds as he took a deep long breathe in. Haku took in the sweet mountain air as he looked up at the Sun. his Training area was kind of hot today. There would be no need in training in his leather jacket today. So, he would take it off in a couple of seconds, but right now. He simply took in the great mountain fresh air for a few moments. Haku walked to the center of the area again as he pulled off his long sleeve black leather jacket with black fur around the collar. He threw it over to the side as he sat down cross legged in the center of the area with the scroll in front of him.

Haku was going to start by flexing his Chakra points, muscles, and clearing his mind for the jutsu. So, Haku did a single handsign to help gather chakra long with flexing his muscles along with his Chakra points. He sat breathing in sync with his chakra Point and Muscle flexing. He was going into a state of complete Meditation as he felt the lightning chakra flow through his body. Soon enough, Haku was ready to focus on the jutsu. He opened the scroll and read the handsigns of the famous Raikiri, or Lightning Cutter Jutsu. The Handsigns were simply enough as he read down through him. He began his training by closing his eyes and doing the set of handsigns over and over again. He would constantly get faster with every set he completed perfectly. Soon enough, Haku would fly through the set over and over again barely messing up. So, Haku kept pushing his hands to go faster until he reached his limit. He looked back down at the scroll that was laid out in front of him and smiled at the Information on it. The jutsu was a very powerful Lightning release that was created by Kakashi Hatake. The Lightning jutsu could be done without the use of handsigns if completely mastered the Lightning element and this jutsu. So, Haku had another level to master if he wanted to completely master this jutsu. So, Haku finally stood up flexed a little bit. He jogged around to get loose again and then finally he came to read the rest of the Information on the jutsu. The Jutsu needed a huge amount of chakra and chakra control to do along with speed. So, Haku resealed the scroll and threw it over by his jacket. He did the handsigns a couple more times to the point of where he could do it while running and in the middle of the battle if he wanted too. So, the time had finally come for Haku to train this powerful lightning release jutsu.

So, He started by doing the handsigns very slowly adding a little Lightning chakra to them, this caused a few sparks to come off of his hands as he finished the set of handsigns he grabbed his right wrist with his left hand and began to pump huge amounts of Lightning chakra to his right hand. Blue lightning began to form in his right hand as the sound of crackling and snapped was heard from it. Haku was going to strike a huge boulder in area that was straight in front of him. When, he thought he had enough Chakra put into the jutsu. He took off at a very high rate of speed towards it. Then, with a simply hand strike he struck the boulder. Dust, Bits of rock, and Haku bounced off the boulder and slide back. When, the dust cleared there was a good sized crater in huge boulder. Haku was already breathing heavily as he seemed he wasted too much chakra on the first shot. He chuckled a she rotated his arms at the shoulder and loosened up more. He had a very long way to go before he completely mastered this technique. Yet, this was what he wanted. So, he would do it until the sun went down to master it. So, he did the handsigns like he was in a battle, which basically means he is running around doing them at a very fast rate, and grabbed his right wrist again with his left hand. Then, he began to focus lightning chakra to his right palm again, but he tried to keep it low so he wouldn’t use so much chakra with the jutsu this time. He shot forward towards the boulder and struck it again. This time the jutsu disappeared before he got there. So, Haku had to pulled back his hand and slam into the boulder before he broke something. Haku slide down the side of the boulder with a great big smile on his face to the ground and walked back to the center of the area to try the jutsu again. Haku was breathing rather hard at this point. He had wasted a lot of extra chakra on the first try and he had to find a happy medium between the two different attacks. He didn’t need the jutsu to disappear in the middle of the attack. So, he had to focus and get the Lightning chakra to a point of great damage, but not to a point that he was wasting a lot of extra chakra on it. So, he did the jutsu again this time he closed his eyes taking careful measures to release on the correct amount of lightning chakra to do the juts at the normal strength of it. So, Haku listened as he felt the lightning surging around his right palm shined with a bright blue like it had done the pass two times, and he waited for just a split second then he heard the electricity from it. He shot forward straight at the boulder after he opened his eyes, and with a simple jump. He struck the boulder with his right handed Raikiri. The Same thing happened as before, Dust, rock, and Haku all jumped back and slide to a stop. Haku was breathing kind of heavily from the three lightning cutters he just did. He could get off one more before he passed out. So, he did the handsigns again, which are Ox, Rabbit, and Monkey. Then, he did the jutsu just like last time. He finished and looked at the craters on the boulder. The last two were the same size, and the first one was bigger then the last ones. He smiled as Darkness bubbled in around his eyes. Then, Haku imply passed out from over using his chakra.

The Next day, Haku was still passed out from the sun glaring it into his face. Yet, he stayed passed out for a couple more hours until the Sun finally woke him up. Haku yawned as he felt stiff from sleeping like that. So, he got up and ran around a bit to loosen his stiff muscles. Finally, he was ready to take on the last part of his Raikiri training. He was going to train to do it without handsigns. The handsigns for this jutsu was like simple training wheels to get to the big stuff. So, he walked back over to the Scroll and opened it up again. This time he read the last paragraphs a few more time to get a handle on how to do it and tossed it back on his jacket after he closed it. He walked back to the center of the area rolling his shoulder while he walked. He was still kind of stiff, but he could work it out before he left. So, Haku closed his eyes and focused as he breathed slowly in through his nose then out through his mouth. He grabbed his right wrist yet again and began to focus constant amounts of Lightning chakra to his right palm. Nothing happened at first, but soon the blue glow of the Raikiri began to form in his right palm. Haku opened his eyes and looked down at it. He began to pump a little bit more lightning chakra into his palm as he saw it shine a little brighter. Then, he began to hear the sound of electricity crackling from it. He smirked as he pumped a little more Lightning chakra into his palm and the crackling grew louder and the brightness of it grew as well. Finally, when Haku thought he had enough chakra in the Raikiri. He shot forward wit the same speed he had used a number of times before and hit the boulder in the largest crater. This Raikiri caused the crater to become deeper and send a large crack down the side of it. Haku chuckled to himself as he had finally mastered the great Raikiri technique with the use of handsigns.

So, Haku had finally finished the technique in a matter of two days, which wasn’t that bad to him. So, he walked over grabbed his jacket and slide it onto his body. Then, he reached down picked up the Scroll and tucked it away in his inside jacket pocket. Then, he did a single handsign and Flickered back to Takigakure to return the Lightning jutsu scroll.
