Elemental Shinobi

Center your thoughts, and focus on the innate elemental power within. An Elemental Shinobi is a fighter who works in shadows and leverages their chakra to create devastating effects. Much like druidic tribes, these shinobi live in small communities, passing their techniques down to younger generations. 

A Elemental Shinobi focuses in two areas of discipline: the Way of Thunder, and the Way of Flame. The Way of Thunder utilizes a shinobi's dexterous skills to maneuver the battlefield and deal quick damage. The Way of Flame calls forth the shinobi's strength and deals massive damage in battle.
