C-Ranked:
(Ninpou: Kumogakure no Jutsu)- Ninja Art: Hidden Cloud Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage: N/A
Description: Usable by most members of the Hidden Cloud village, this technique creates a very thick group of ground-level clouds that covers the battlefield. The clouds are many times thicker than mist from the Hidden Mist counterpart jutsu and thus makes it harder to see and even more difficult to breathe in the clouds. Cloud ninja have no trouble breathing as they reside at such high altitudes that they have grown used to the atmospheric pressure, but against regular shinobi unfamiliar with life in the Hidden Cloud Village, they could potentially suffocate if the clouds are not dispersed within 5 turns. Like the Hidden Mist counterpart, the clouds are made up of the users chakra, making it impossible for Sharingan users to effectively use their sharingan in the Hidden Clouds.
Note: Can only be used two times a battle
B-Ranked:
(Raiton: Ryuusandan Haratsu Ami) Lightning Release: Shrapnel Explosion Net
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: The user charges a large amount of raiton chakra into a single kunai/shurikan and throws it at the opponent. The user then may preform a single hand seal and cause the raiton built up within the kunai to explode outwards causing the object to explode into multiple, metal shards covered in raiton that are connected to each other by a multiple electrical currents, creating a net effect that will easily subdue an opponent.
A-Ranked:
Raiton: Raiya Houchou (Lightning Release: Lightning Arrow Step)
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary/Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 30
Damage: (60 if used to attack)
Description: By harnessing the earth's electrical fields to generate electricity, this works as long as the user's legs are connected to the earth. When in use, this allows the user to nearly instantly to close short distances and strike within the same motion. Usable at distances of several feet or less, this allows one to deliver an electrically charged palm thrust should it connect. If no contact is made between the ground and the user's legs, this is unusable. There is a downside as the user cannot change directions once the technique is initiated, thus allowing a more skilled opponent to dodge if they see it coming.
(Raiton: Hiraishin no Jintai) -Lightning Release: Human Lightning Rod
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60 (if opponent is within the field)
Description:The user emits a powerful field of electrical energy; anyone caught within it gains a negative charge. The user positively charges the air around him, meaning that if the opponent is within the field he/she is constantly shocked by lightning. Although, raiton jutsu are almost impossible to dodge while within the field, the field only extends 10 meters from the user. This jutsu also does a great job of disrupting electrical jutsu aimed at the user.
(Last 3 Turns)
(Usable only once)
S-Ranked:
(Raiton: Ki no za Raibun'ya)- Lightning Release: Tree of the Lightning Realm
Rank: S (Forbidden*)
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: The user first begins by focusing a giant amount of lightning chakra, into there palm. But by using chakra compression, the user makes a small lightning "seed", which is so small that it is invisible to the naked eye. The user will the insert it into the ground. After exactly one turn the user will then do a one-handed tiger seal, causing a tree made of pure lightning to burst out through the earth at really high speed, which makes it nearly impossible to avoid. The tree will stab the opponent from below, and branches will stab holes in the victim. After the trees creation, the tree gives off lightning energy into the battleground that increases the users raitons jutsus power by +15
*It can be used at a much larger scale to hit multiple enemies, doing the same damage, but putting a huge strain on the user, thus doing +10 damage to him.
(Tree lasts for two turn)
(Can only be used once per battle)
(The jutsu is undetectable by the naked eye, and can only be detected by doujutsu and chakra sensory)
