Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5846162/5/The most glaring issue, was obviously the distinct lack of elemental testing paper. And he had no intention of feeding a sapling with chakra as it grew till it reached a stage where you could cut it and make paper out of it. Some things were just far too stupid to be attempted, his rash act of self mutiliation not withstanding.
So instead he decided to experiment. One particular thought was that affinity paper was just really really sensitive to chakra. Surely if he just pumped raw chakra steadily into a piece of paper for a while (a very vague period of time really) it might eventually show itself to be a particular element(stupid idea in hindsight really). Of course, there had to be multiple copies of this test attempt to ensure the statistical confirmation of the result. Science demanded it (at least one sensible demand had to be met).
Heavily handicapped by his particular upraising for out of the box and wacky ideas, he turned to his guru in all things normal, Richards.
"Hey Richards, can I have a bunch of small square papers I can keep on me all the time?"
"All I have at the moment is that half used stack of post-its, will that do?"
"That's great! Thanks Richards!"
"Er...sure, you're welcome...I think?"
By then, Harry had already bounded out of the library.
Harry spend the next three days clutching that stack of post-its while steadily pumping chakra into it. So what if it made the purple paper glow little? Post-its are meant to be bright after all...
And at the end of three days he got his reward for pushing chakra for a total of about forty plus hours when the whole stack just split clean down the middle. He felt ecstatic. It was marvelous, though it did raise eyebrows when Richards saw the post-its he'd given to Harry split into two right in front of him. And were those glowing?
While Richards was questioning if his advanced age was finally forcing him to buy corrective eye wear, Harry skipped off to do the exercise for wind chakra, except using old news papers. Leaves were remarkably rare and stripping down trees was in bad taste. He had to consider deforestation and global warming after all. Nobody said ninja had to be environmentally unfriendly.
