Well it was a normal day for Konohagakure, the sun was up, the sky was clear and the chuunin exams were still in play. It'd been a couple of days since he was healed at the infirmary, his injuries not as severe as before but still fairly cringe worthy.
Kenny had been out and about, wanting a quiet day in, going shopping for fruit and vegetables for dinner that night. He wondered for a moment and figured what to have for dinner before deciding on a leek soup with a side portion of dumplings. Win! He'd just finished paying the man at the vegetable stall for his purchase before wiping his brow.

"I'm not coming down with something am I?" He asked himself, looking up to the sky. The sun wasn't even that warm to be honest with you but he shrugged it off and passed it off for him being paranoid. He decided it best to just ignore the minor setback and head off home to cool down.

Heading home, he came to his front door; pulling out his keys and opening the door as he entered. Locking the door behind him, he flung his scarf off from his neck and dumped it on a chair that was sat at the side of the hallway. He kicked off his shoes, flipping through the air and hitting the wall before landing on the ground, he walked towards his living room, the wooden floorboards slightly cold from having his bedroom window open, he placed the food on the living room coffee table before walking into the kitchen, the warm carpet now went to cold tiles of the kitchen. It was a rather nice, well decorated modern styled home since his parents were politicians for Konoha but have been away for years on end. Holding no hope to seeing them again though, Kenny opened the kitchen door but as he did an electric shock, ran through his arm and numbed it for awhile. Then it hit him. He hadn't trained his Raiton yet and his clones weren't at their full potential because of that...

After having eaten his dinner, Kenny made his way to a small, isolated part of the village where rarely anyone went to. maybe to take a shortcut to their house but that was about it and everyone was busy anyway so the chances were slim.
Raiton...lightning based element...Kenny's secondary element. Kenny watched his hands as he tried to concentrate his Raiton element to his hands but nothing but gusts of wind shot out...it was clear that Kenny was rusty in concentrating his chakra down to it's specifics but nothing a little training couldn't do.

Taking an offensive stance, Kenny charged his body with the Raiton element, short outbursts of lightning crackled from his body as he raised his knee up to eye level before kicking up his leg, a short jolt shooting from the tip of his toes. He was rather surprised that even worked! maybe he wasn't as rusty as he had thought. That was until he decided to chance something.

Bringing his leg back down to the floor, Kenny took a more crouching stance, bringing his leg back and raising his right hand, hand straight and flat upward as he closed his eyes. He could feel his Raiton charge up and build as he held it in longer with each passing moment, just before he decided to release it all at once, the bolts shooting outwards...his body gave in and collapsed as he had potentially paralysed himself. Still fully conscience, he dropped down and hit the dirt, skidding slightly across the ground; the dirt picking up on his cheek as he let out a small grunt...

"Oh for the love of god...I have to be the most pathetic ninja yet! Being brought down by my own element..." He bitched, a slight jolt of nerves shot through his body as he shuddered. He couldn't move his upper body nor could he move his legs but for some reason his hips were still rather lively. Oh dear god...enter incredibly embarrassing moment here much? He raised his hips as high as he could and tried to push to the best of his ability. He resembled a mentally disabled caterpillar...pushing for dear life. Rather funny to look at at first but it seemed rather sad after a while.

After an hour or something of wriggling about on the spot with very little success, the paralysis wore off and Kenny was free to move about again but with the sensation of pins and needles he found it hard to move and very...very awkward...
He eventually got to his feet and rested against the cold stone walls around him, looking up into the clear blue skies. Maybe it was time to take a small break...training up and element wasn't all that easy...apparently or maybe Kenny was just poor in advancing as quickly as others. Either way...no wait...it's not time to have a break, the day was still on and the life of Konohagakure was buzzing! Kenny began to feel lazy and slightly pathetic. not this time. He pushed himself up to his feet, staggering slightly as he got up. He panted once and cracked his neck from right to left, followed by the cracking of his knuckles; the surge of warmth rushing as the blood continued through his body.

He walked away from where he was before, leaving towards a more open space, a more spacious and fresh area. it was a small, excluded area that people rarely went. There was a medium sized wooden dojo looking shelter in the area but it seemed rather run down and it had a few holes in it...maybe someone a while ago had gone and trained inside it? Ah who knows; anyway, Kenny walked into the middle of the space and took in a long breath, inhaling the fresh, crisp air into his lungs before exhaling it out with a satisfying sigh.

"Alrighty then, seems like my Raiton is getting better...lets try and get it a little bit better though." He said to himself, slapping his hands together and rubbing them both vigorously together, a warmth beginning to form on the palms of his hands as the friction rubbed together. He smiled as the sun's light lit up his face, his golden eyes now a fiery flame and his smile a white blur as he twirled around on the spot in a circular motion before stopping and releasing a small crackle of lightning around his body. He placed his hands together, forming a tiger hand sign in which he began to focus his energy to his central core, where the elements were apparently held within. So says the legend mind you but still. He closed his eyes slowly and began to feel bursts of lightning shoot around inside his body. It was a weird and funny sensation, leaving Kenny chuckle slightly.

Ah well...maybe it was time to take a break...Kenny had been training for hours now and he seemed to be making some progress though it was only slight... Granted that he wasn't very well accustomed to having to use his Raiton on a daily basis and his lightning clones were near enough pathetic on a general basis so he really needed to do this but maybe a little bit of studying will help him get a better grasp on it...he began to run through his memory, back to when he was in the academy. He thought for a moment before coming up with something that had been said from his teacher at the time.
"Lightning, is one of the five basic elemental nature transformation techniques that allows the user to generate lightning by increasing the high frequency vibrations of their chakra, allowing for piercing damage and fast movement. The electricity paralyses the target so that they are unable to move and leave them vulnerable to a finishing strike."
This was all he could remember, at some points it was a bit hazy so he was lucky to even remember most of it all... that and that earth was weak against Lightning but Lightning was also weak against Wind...which was strange for Kenny since both his elements were wind and lightning...Pushing the thought to the back of his mind, he sat down against a tree trunk, looking around him before, after about an hour of relaxing, getting up to his feet with determination in his mind. He was gonna do this though he really had no idea on how to do this...despite remembering what he could on the subject.

He walked out into the open, his slightly darkened hair now flapping away in the wind along with his two scarves, his golden eyes flashing ever so slightly as the suns light reflected from them, his face expressionless of any sort of emotion as he examined his surroundings.
[white=color]"How am I ever going to do this...especially on my own with no one to show me the ropes..."[/color] He said to himself as he paced back and forth, contemplating on how to do this before slapping himself gently on the face, waking himself up to think of some ideas...Then he began to hate himself for it...the idea he had...wasn't exactly...one of the best he'd ever come up with...actually...any idea would be better than this to be honest with you. Releasing a sigh from his pearly lips, he took up a stance and began to create two clones; two clouds of smoke appearing at his sides.

Flashbacks of last time with these clones rushed through his head, the memory of these two practically gang banging him with two surges of lightning made his body ache...the steam from his limp body that those two left him in began to emit from his nostrils as they flared, staring them both down; his eyes now a fiery rage that could melt mountains. the two clone noticed this and fell onto their knees, both groveling and sniveling for forgiveness but Kenny was having none of this. He picked them both up and snarled at their faces, his face turning more and more grim when all of a sudden one of the clones began to snicker, which in turn turned into laughing...the other was soon to follow and Kenny now had two laughing doppelgangers. What the hell? What suddenly brought this on? He continued to look back and forth of the two...He got the sudden urge to get away from them as soon as he could...but what brought this on all of a sudden? He dropped the two, them both hitting the dirt but still laughing. He began to kick them while they were on the ground, his kicks were feeble attempts indeed since they held no real power in each kicks.

He took a step away from them, confusion slapped onto his face before he figured out what it was that they were planning on doing...those sneaky conniving bastards! How dare they try and pull a fast one like this! Well not this time! Kenny had the upper hand here and he was going to outsmart them! The little shits that they are! He pulled out one of his kunai and readied himself, he was going to throw it at one, jump away before it exploded and in turn destroying the other one but as he raised his hand to do so, the clones sat there and out of nowhere came a picnic blanket and a pot of tea, one of the clones pouring the tea out whilst wearing a rather flashy kimono whilst the other dressed like...A GIESHA!? THE HELL!? Kenny stood there, completely gobsmacked when all of a sudden the both lunged and exploded mid-strive, sending god knows how many surges through his body and in turn, sent him flying through the air...Oh dear god the pain he thought as he hit the dirt and skidded across it before coming to a halt...Kenny's hair was now spiky and small volts of electricity shot from hair strand to hair strand. Sure the pain was unthinkable but for some odd reason...he felt more powerful... Stumbling to his feet, he stood there, dazed out his mind before concentrating his chakra once more. His lightning felt more powerful and seemed to pack a more punch to it...Well done Kenny...you near enough killed yourself in the process but you did it!
