Blocking off one path forces people to open up new roads instead of using old ones. It increases range.

Which isn't increasing creativity, it's just forcing people to aim their creativity away from the lightning element. It doesn't enable anything, it only disables. It's not like he was going to use an old road anyway. He might be going in the same direction, but it's gonna be a different road. All it does is guarantee he won't use lightning, which even simply using lightning wouldn't be inherently stepping in GX's territory, since GX is using an Onmyoji, and lightning jutsu can be used in ways the Onmyoji couldn't pull off. All that needs to be closed off is the lightning Onmyoji path, not the lightning path.
Not to mention how we still haven't heard from X on the matter. He might have some radical idea about how to use it by now, we simply don't know.

It causes one to rethink and discover something they might not have thought of at first.

We can achieve the same result by just encouraging non-lightning. Not to mention that, until we see what he's got, we can't exactly judge it.

Question: What's an "Onmyoji"? Google is failing me.
Other question: There are techniques passed down in families right? Is this because of biological inheritance or because of family legacy?
Another question: What is chakra? Is it like chi or like blood? I keep reading about people "excreting" it to use it so it sounds biological, in which case, is there a chakra organ that produces it or what?
And if you're wondering why I suddenly have interest in this, your RP concept introduces foreign technology into an established world, which is "my jam" so to speak.

1. Find out by going to the wikipedia article on Onmyōdō. Though in this they're basically just gonna be whoever is in possession of one of the five Kodai Youkai. 2. Kekkei Genkai are biological, Hiden are family legacy. Feel free to look at the Narutopedia articles on both, or just ask if you want specific answers. 3. Uh, it's not explained too well IIRC, but one can interrupt "chakra nodes", the way your chakra swirls can be determined by your hair swirl, and IIRC the main difference between ninja and normal people is that ninja can control their chakra.

So I'm gonna tell you my idea, and you let me know how feasible this is. A child is born in a modern city to a family that has never been connected to ninjas or had any ability to manipulate chakra. As a child he was caught in a major accident that basically kills him. A ninja with access to medical techniques could probably have helped him easily, but he's not a ninja, he doesn't know any ninjas, and nobody he knows knows any ninjas. He's saved by cutting edge medical science, receiving a transplant of almost every major organ and a massive blood transfusion. Unfortunately, he was left irreversibly paralyzed from the waist down.
In his early teens, he started noticing something weird about his eye. It was starting to develop a dojutsu. Immediately seeking an expert to "fix" it, he is told that the conflict between the chakras of his new organs, and the chakra of his own body is forcing a manifestation that has never been seen before. He's immediately whisked away from his family to be prodded and studied. He apparently is capable of a unique elemental release and can naturally perform previously unheard of techniques. It's also demonstrated that medical jutsu has very little effect on his body due to the chakra conflict, meaning his paralysis mysteriously can't be cured. Ninjas that aren't using him as a case study typically despise him. He's a useless peasant who stole a ninja's powers for his own. He has no village or clan to be loyal to, and has no concept of respect for the ninja's way of life. He himself just wants to go back to being normal. But then a mentor figure pushes him to try and become something greater than he was before, power and responsibility, blah blah blah chunin exam.
Ability wise, he uses gravity release and space-time ninjutsu. He's confined to a wheelchair and is generally incapable of taijutsu. He uses lots of guns, and his primary method of transportation in combat is teleportation. Besides a few abilities, his chakra skills are relatively weak and very uncontrollable. His dojutsu allows him to see "true space". He instantly knows the true spacial properties of anything he sees while using it, including location mass, density, velocity, acceleration, etc.

Sick. Ninja would actually be somewhat common in most places, making it odd for him to not know anyone who knows any, but the urgency of his situation and the lower density of ninjas in the bigger nations would make that excusable. He would still probably be loyal to some country, whichever one he's born in though. Not that people are naturally tied to their home nation, but still. Map for original Naruto: vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/3/3e/Naruto_World_Map.svg/revision/latest/scale-to-width/800?cb=20110114161251Red dots are pretty much ninja villages (though for the life of me I can't remember what the second one in the Land of Fire is), and we'll likely have some changed borders (not sure on that, dunno what ideas Golurk has) and Youkai no Kuni would be on that northern peninsula. Seems legit, ability-wise, though "Gravity Release" would probably just be a Yang release, and teleportation isn't entirely doable, unless it's done like summoning or the Flying Thunder God Technique. Dojutsu have proven themselves capable of doing it, but it's generally not perfect, like Kamui and Amenotejikara. All in all, I like it, but the abilities need to be applied carefully.

I'm not letting him not use Lightning. I'm discouraging him from using it.

I was thinking of doing a dual type. Maybe something like lighting and water. (I liked almost idea of doing water and lighting). Maybe even something like lighting and something else. But yeah I was thinking of doing something where they can dual weild elements. Not a master of one but good enough in two. Also is the tribe that Kiba belongs too still around. The one that uses the ninja dogs/wolves
Actually, was thinking of something like this. My person is a member of a tribe slowly being phased out by technology. The tribe I mentioned before with the ninja dogs. With technology ninja dogs are slowly becoming more and more obsolete. One day the character is given a choice whether stay with the tribe or go off on there own. Seeing no use in staying with a sinking ship they decided to head off on a journey even though it means exile from the clan. They know that but they still they want to set off and explore. They leave with their dog and set off on a journey. They can be proficient in both water tech and lighting tech. Nothing to fancey just depending on the situation they decide when to use what. Maybe they can drench the target first then eletricute them. Along the way maybe I can meet up with somebody like GX (If she is being somebody that can maybe take on a student) who can teach me how to use my lighting better. Maybe meet up with Almost (again if it's possible for him to be the teacher type) who can teach me better and more complex water type moves. It can be they are noivce to the world but they meet people along the way that teach fthem a little bit more about themselves and they grow from that. Curious about the chunin exam they go to check it out
Of course I am going with a sword and kunai as well as my pup. I guess they would be technology inclined because the tribe rejects all foms of technology and they use what is absolutely nessccaey.

I dunno, the Inuzuka clan probably would be. And when I mentioned "dual type" I was talking about a hybrid nature, Storm release, not just using two elements. Most jonin actually develop the ability to use more than one element in the canon anyway. I don't think any of the characters listed so far would be the type to have a student though. Need to think about what sort of technology he'd actually use though. Y'know, aside from the obvious cell phone and s***. And to take the Chunin exams, he'd have to actually be connected to a village or something, since if they're not they're just classified as missing-nin. Not sure if the whole squad thing will still be mandatory, but the village thing will. I guess he could possibly fake his way in, but I'm not certain. naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Special:BrowseData/Jutsu?limit=500&offset=0&_cat=Jutsu&Jutsu_type=Water_Releasenaruto.wikia.com/wiki/Special:BrowseData/Jutsu?limit=500&offset=0&_cat=Jutsu&Jutsu_type=Lightning_ReleaseHere, have a look at some lightning and water release jutsu, maybe get some ideas.

Kiba wasn't a part of any tribe, and his clan was really just a small family.
Also, why specialize in two elements we already have specialists of?
You could use a Kekkei Genkai in order to use a combination element like Lava or Wood.

He was referring to the clan as a tribe. I don't get why, but yeah. I dunno about everyone else, but my character's a kenjutsu specialist. Golurk, could you edit in the list of combo elements you figured out that we're using? I can't find it, aside from the ascended elements.

Well, we have Li+Ea is Explosive, but Li+Wi and Li+Fi are debatable.

I was thinking of li + Fire. But didn't know lighting + earth was an actual combination. I was thinking of doing explosives seems like something that's interesting. Even though storm release is also just as interesting. But I always thought they were a tribe but whatever. Go go if you don't want me to specialize in elements bying used that's kind of impossible. We have GX w/ Lighting, Almost w/ Water, Neo w/ Fire??? I think, and You w/ wind???? Which means I would be stuck w/ only Earth element ninjitsu. Which would mean if Fennekin wanted to join he can't have any elements he can use because they are essintaly all taken.
It has been forever since I last watched Naruto so I forgot about the majority of details like the whole Kiva belonging to a small family but that's beside the point. So maybe a storm realese style is the way I want to go. But maybe they can be a normal family instead ones a shopkeeper or something similar and the other is a teacher at the ninja school. Essentially Chunin type. Is my person going to have a pet maybe a cat, pig, dog traveling with them yes. They can be out to explore the world. and stuff. What clan does somebody like that belong to no clue but the details can be worked out
Now my person was going to be average to start out with Tai and Ninjitsu but they have potential to be great at both but I would kinda of need a mentor/ teacher to reach their true potential.

My character uses one Wind Release. He's not a specialist. He's a Bukijutsu/Summoning Jutsu specialist.

GX's character primarily uses Lightning Release and Explosive Tags.
The combination elements are:
Storm Wood Lava Boil Scorch Explosive Magnetic Ice
