Yeah just perform the last jutsu you learned, you know my expectation.

 

[Perception]

Alright, lets get started

Genkai stands before her new teacher ready to get started. Noni stares with glaring eyes and Genkai wonders if she is being oggeled. Nevertheless Genkai builds up a large amount of chakra in her body and converts it to lightning chakra by vibrating it at a high frequency. When the chakra builds to a sufficient amount Genkai releases it into the air around her through multiple chakra points. As the lightning exits her body Genkai uses shape manipulation to form it into a 3 m radius half dome that extends all around her. A few leaves and tree branches hit the dome and disintegrate into nothingness

Description: The user gathers lightning chakra around his fist, generating a sphere of pure lightning around it. The user can then punch a target, unleashing the lightning in the form of a localized electrical explosion.

A great jutsu to use for close range battle. The user will create a orb of lightning around their hand and punch the opponent in any area they wish. This will release the lightning causing an explosion of lightning which can easily shock the opponent and push them back. Its a very basic jutsu as well as very quick to use and simple. I would use this in conjuction with a regular taijutsu and for a finishing blow punch the opponent with this jutsu.

Range: Short - Long

Damage points: 40
Description: After enveloping themselves with lightning, the user emanates a powerful bolt of electricity targeted at their opponent.

Okay here is a simple technique. The user will envelop their whole bodies with lightning and then aim at the opponent sending the lightning which was once around their body now sent as projectile; A powerful bolt of electricity at the opponent. Now this is a projectile base so you can send more techs after for combos. It is a straightforward technique but can be used for combos and distractions. A huge problem is you will first be covered in lightning, and that spells trouble for water attacks and leave you vulnerable to wind attacks. Its a small window but a smart opponent can easily take advantage. Be weary.

Description: The user will raise his hand or a weapon and send an electrical discharge into the clouds, allowing them to create lightning strikes in the desired location. The discharges are triggered right after the technique and cannot be delayed or prepared before hand but are quite fast.

This is a fast paced technique which I like to use with combos and trying to force my opponent into a corner. The user will raise their hand/weapon send lightning chakra and a discharge is tricked and a bolt is sent back to the opponent towards any location of the users choosing. This gives the technique a rather flexible motion and is easy to perform. Right after sending the lightning technique you can continue to another technique making this a great speed base technique.

Damage Points: 40
Description: The user gathers lightning chakra around his fist, generating a sphere of pure lightning around it. The user can then punch a target, unleashing the lightning in the form of a localized electrical explosion.

Perform the technique: Genkai builds up her lightning chakra and releases it through the chakra points in her right hand. Electricity soon surrounds her fist and Genkai runs towards a small tree 5 m away. Genkai punches the tree and it disintegrates.
Creative uses/strengths: This is best suited as a taijutsu move due to it's range and style. It would be especially useful against an opponent that makes their body turn into water or are drenched in it. This jutsu also provides a simple way to break through walls or other earth jutsu on the run.
Drawbacks/counters: The main disadvantage of this technique is its range. It's also hard to stop this tech midway if you need to perform different jutsu. Not a lot of disadvantages here as this is a pretty straightforward jutsu. To defend against this you can simply blow your opponent back with a wind projectile (a quick one). Their are also a number of elemental taijutsu techs you can use to counter.I feel I should ask though I think I know the answer, can this technique be used to punch through Earthropping Lid? Common sense says no but rank says otherwise.

Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: After enveloping themselves with lightning, the user emanates a powerful bolt of electricity targeted at their opponent.

Perform the technique:Genkai builds up lightning chakra throughout her body and releases it through all her chakra points. This causes her to be enveloped by lightning from head to toe. Genkai stares at a tree 15 m away and begins to focus. She envisions a quick and sharp bolt of lightning in her mind. In an instant Genkai uses shape manipulation to form the lightning around her into a bolt, and then directs the lightning towards the tree in front of her. The tree crumbles to the ground.
Creative uses/strengths: With this technique you can strike anywhere on the battle field. This jutsu is a perfect defense against falling earth jutsu such as dropping lid. Also, you don't have to aim this at your opponent. If they are on a body of water you can just aim close to them and electrocute them. This can also be used as a full body chakra surge to release genjutsu.
Drawbacks/counters: As you stated for a moment your are highly susceptible to water jutsu. Also, encasing your self in lightning makes it obvious a Raiton jutsu is coming. Since you'll most likely see the lightning around your opponent you can blow a strong gust as you see the lightning leave their body. You can use something quick like hurricane fist to shift your position as the lightning is about to strike. Finally this jutsu is limited to just one shot.

Description: The user will raise his hand or a weapon and send an electrical discharge into the clouds, allowing them to create lightning strikes in the desired location. The discharges are triggered right after the technique and cannot be delayed or prepared before hand but are quite fast.

Perform the technique: Genkai unsheathes a steel sword hanging from her left side with her right hand. She builds up lightning chakra in her body and raises her arm pointing the sword straight into the sky. Genkai then releases the lightning chakra through her right arm and it immediately travels up and around the sword in her hand. Genkai then shouts as she focuses on another tree,

I have the power!!

A lightning bolt comes down from the sky at a 45 degree angle and strikes the tree at its base. The tree loses its grip on the earth and falls over.
Creative uses/strengths: Very simple to perform. No hand seals or complicated gestures. You can aim the lightning anywhere and since it's happens at quick pace you have a lot of options. I like the idea of striking below with swamp of the underworld or another ground based earth tech and then using this jutsu to aim where they try to evade to. This would be best performed while hiding where your opponent can't see the lightning form.
Drawbacks/counters: As with the last tech your opponent is most likely going to see the lightning forming make this jutsu obvious. Also this tech as well as the last one can't not be performed in the rain without serious risk of getting electrocuted. You also have to use a hand or weapon as a medium which leaves you in a difficult stance to defend yourself given a short amount of time. The defense to this tech is the same as in the last one since the techs are very similar.

[Noni]

Shadou get to training :| and I would not punch the dropping lid but it also depends on how the opponent describes it, if its hollow I would say no, but if its filled out like a boulder you probably can but debris and chunks of rocks will still hit you. I would say no.

Rank: B
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short – Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: After the user performs the Ram ? Boar ? Dog ? Bird ? Hare hand seals, he releases his lightning chakra into the ground, using it to forcefully shape the earth into 4 big pillars (proportionate to the target area) around the target. Once they rise, they unleash a barrage of lightning bolts, currents and shocks to whatever is inside, paralyzing, shocking and damaging the target from all around.

This is a rather slow technique. After doing 6 hand seals the user will summon 4 pillars to grow from the ground and around the opponents area. Now the pillars take some time to grow but they go grow nonetheless in time, I recommend you do a distraction for the opponent to allow them to erect in time. Anyway when they rise you will send a lightning charge through the pillars and bolts of lightning is sent towards the areas covered. Anything inside the pillars will be shocked and paralyzed. This is great to trap large summons.

(Raiton: Kangekiha) – Lightning Release: Wave of Inspiration
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage point: 40 (+20 to Water Technique)
Description: After doing the Rabbit ? Dog ? Boar ? Ram ? Rat hand seals, the user generates a large amount of lightning from their hands, which can then be either released in an unfocused manner or passed through conductive materials to improve the electrical power of the technique, namely in conjunction with Water Techniques. In fact, certain users have showed that its possible to, if the user has the ability to mold both Water and Lightning chakras at the same time (for example, Darui who has Storm Release), unleash this particular technique at the same time as they exhale/spit some water technique (which needs to consist of a stream of water), combining both in a seemingly consecutive move. Other ninjas will need to use a clone or an ally for the same effect.

Okay this is a very nice jutsu and its sole purpose is to use with combos. The user will send from their hands unfocused lightning chakra, which can travel towards the opponent as a stream. That is fairly simple method which has basic combos and counters to it. Its best feature is it goes hand and hand with basically any water jutsu, not only that but it is a very fast when coming into conjunction with the water. Right when you send out the water, you can perform the technique which will meet with the water almost instantly and travel all through the water. People with storm release who has storm release can send the water and lightning at the same time which is much quicker in a sense, though its still fast with ot without it. Though if you want the same speed having a clone handy is always good. Now little should I say that its power is increase by a lot when with water, has so many combos. The harsh part is you must do some quick hand seals. For the counter I want you to counter it if someone was to have sent a wave of water in conjunction of this jutsu.

Rank: B
Type: Offense

Description: The user brings their hands together and an electrical energy will begin to crackle around them. They will then slam their hands to the ground to send an electric current racing through the earth. When the current approaches its target, it can split into multiple tendrils to attack separate targets individually.

A great ground attack. The user will release lightning all throughout the edges of their skin and with a good thrust send that lightning towards the ground which begins to rush at the opponent, when it gets to the opponent it shock them on the feet sending a surge through their whole body which can hurt them badly. The tendril can also be split apart in separates tendrils to attack multiple targets. I should mention this is a rather loud technique, something you would not use for snick attacks, when you release it around your body cracks are heard and when channeled in the ground you can hear it easily. It travels long range, as well. It move rather fast as well, its great to pressure an opponent with.

Once they rise, they unleash a barrage of lightning bolts, currents and shocks to whatever is inside, paralyzing, shocking and damaging the target from all around.

Perform the technique: Genkai looks off into the distance and sees a giant rock formation 12 m away. With her target set Genkai builds up her earth chakra. She then performs the Ram → Boar → Dog → Bird hand seals to focus her chakra as she envision pillars rising from the ground. After releasing her chakra 4 large pillars surround the rock formation on all sides as the slowly rise from the ground. Genkai follows by building up a sizeable amount of lighting chakra and channeling into the pillars. Lightning erupts from the pillars and shatters the rock formation into pieces.
Creative uses/strengths: Not a big fan of this jutsu but this is best used with a partner. Chances of pulling this off alone are slim. This jutsu is well suited for large battles or large summons as it can be used at long range and covers a wide area. I would trap my opponent in a genjutsu and then use the technique so I have a better chance of pulling it off.
Drawbacks/counters: The first thing you can do is destroy the earth pillars. Even though the pillars conduct electricity they are still made of earth. You can use lighting jutsu or a fire jutsu to destroy the pillars as the rise from the ground slowly. Omni-directional attacks are the best defense. If you don't have time for that the form a wind gust to disperse the lightning and end the jutsu.

Rank: B
Type: Attack

Description: After performing the Tiger hand seal the user creates a fast jet of water running through the ground that is powerful enough to slice through solid rock.

Genkai follows be quickly building up her lightning chakra and performing the Rabbit →Dog → Boar → Ram → Rat hand seals. She then releases lightning from her hands and aims it at the water jet headed towards the tree. The water and lightning combine right before hitting the tree. The force of the water jet breaks the tree into several parts and the lighting crumbles each of those parts. The tree is no more.
Creative uses/strengths: The advantage of this jutsu is it's versatility. You can fire streams, bullets, vortexes, spheres, dragons, of water and combine it with this jutsu. You can also releases it on it's own as a separate jutsu. I think streams and bullets are where this technique is most advantageous. As you stated it is nice to have clones to use this with. A simply water clone could suffice.
Drawbacks/counters: The speed of this technique is a little lacking at 5 hand seals. It also effectively counts as the speed of two techs unless you have a storm bio. You also need to be careful not to electrocute your self when using the jutsu since it has a lot of versatility. If I see a wave of water infused with lightning from this jutsu as you say, I'm going to counter by firing a large wind sphere/gust at the wave of water. The S-Rank wind sphere would work nicely. Wind is really the best defense here. You can defend with other elements but you need to be aware of ranks.

Description: The user brings their hands together and an electrical energy will begin to crackle around them. They will then slam their hands to the ground to send an electric current racing through the earth. When the current approaches its target, it can split into multiple tendrils to attack separate targets individually.

Perform the technique: Genkai looks 10 m into the distance and sees a deer frolicking about. This is unacceptable. Genkai builds up her lightning chakra and releases it through multiple chakra points as she envisions electric currents in her mind. Genkai then brings her palms together slightly apart and lightning beings form around her and making a loud crackling noise. The lightning builds and Genkai slams her hands to the ground. This sends electrical currents rampaging through the ground. The currents turn up the ground splitting into 4 tendrils and quickly converge on the deer. The deer is electrocuted to a crisp within seconds.
Creative uses/strengths: This is a good and fun attack, but this is perfect for stopping earth jutsu in their track. When an opponent slams their hand on the ground or you feel vibrations in the ground you can use this jutsu to stop their technique. The electricity has some versatility in that it can be split up into multiple tendrils. This allows you to attack your opponent from multiple angles.
Drawbacks/counters: As the jutsu states your not fooling anybody with this jutsu. It is loud and noticeable. You can't use this jutsu if your not on the ground which is a slight disadvantage. You also only have the ability to aim at mid or long range targets. To defend against this you can wind jutsu to lift your self off the ground away from the lighting. You can also summon an earth golem below you and raise your elevation, but the golem will eventually be destroyed by the lighting depending on rank. You can also raise the elevation where you are quickly before the lighting hits. The last counter has to be done quick and is not suitable for all ranges.

Very simple the user raises their hand towards the sky where their are going to be clouds, the user will gather a portion of lightning chakra from those clouds in the sky and condense it in the palms of their hands which they then send as a stream of lightning bolt towards the opponent. Problems is you will have to focus in the sky to gather the chakra, literally raising your arms leaving your arms occupied and focus towards the clouds. Little to say it can leave you open seriously. Everything else is very simple.

Okay what you will do is simply channel lightning chakra towards the palm of your hand release it and straighten it out into a whip. The whip size travels up to mid range, and can only stay active for no more then one turn. You must keep it in your hand for the duration, if you don't do other wise it will be released. You can whip anywhere you aim and its rather flexible as well. Hitting an opponent with it can seriously shock them, nice simple technique. Huge downside is your a open target for water techniques.

Description: The user channels his lighting chakra to his dominant hand and then radiates it out making it a hound shaped stream of lighting which stays attached to the users hand through a bolt of lighting and rampages towards his target.

Okay the user will once again gather their raiton chakra in their hand and release it forward towards the opponent, while manipulating the lightning into a hound/dog which attaches itself to the users hand through a bolt of lightning running towards the hound. Hound stays on for one turn as well, the user can send it towards the opponent and on contact can shock them badly, it can be controlled to go anywhere and react anyhow through the user. One huge disadvantage is you can not use any jutsu other then raiton, unless you have Yin-Yang so be sure to use it right for the one turn you have with it. Lastly since its attached to you water jutsus are a problem for you.

Description: The user raises their hands to the air, charging lightning. He will then unleash the lightning energy at the enemy target in the form of a lightning bolt.

Perform the technique: Another technique another fodder tree. Genkai stands 8.5 m from a tree to her left side. She stares down the tree and raises her hands towards the sky. She then builds up her lightning chakra and releases it into the sky through her chakra points. This causes lightning from the clouds to condense into her hands. Genkai then takes her left hand and directs a stream of lightning at the tree incinerating it.
Creative uses/strengths: This is a very open technique. It's great for destroying earth defenses such as walls and domes. As an attack I think better jutsu exist but this could be useful if an opponent is standing on water.
Drawbacks/counters: The lightning takes time together and you have to leave your hands in the air while this happens. As you stated this leaves you open for attack. Not much else to say for disadvantages as this is a simple technique. To defend against it their are a number of wind gusts/blasts that can be used to disperse the lighting.

Type: Offense/Defense

Chakra Cost: 20

Description: The user generates lightning-based chakra in his/her palms that they can whip around in order to attack their opponent.

Perform the technique: Genkai builds up lighting chakra in her body and envisions the shape of a whip in her mind. When her chakra is at a sufficient level Genkai releases it through chakra points in her hands, and uses shape manipulation to form an electrical whip in her hand. The whip is initially is 3 m long and Genkai holds it in her right hand. She spots a tree 8 m in front of her and swings her right arm forward. As her arm fully extends she flicks her wrist and the whip is directed at the tree. It quickly grows to 8 m and hits the center of the tree causing it to crumble to the earth.
Creative uses/strengths: This is nice to keep your opponent at a distance. If your opponent is a taijutsu specialist then keep them away with this jutsu. The whip is also capable of breaking through earth armor and can be used to break through earth domes/walls. The whip since it extends out to mid range can intercept weapons or elemental projectiles as well.
Drawbacks/counters: As stated you become a huge target for water techniques with the whip in your hand. Also the range to hit your opponent is narrow. Unlike a blast a whip strikes at a precise location so great control is going to be needed to hit an opponent. To defend against the whip in close proximity you can you wind infused taijustu (a few cannon techs exist) and disperse the whip. If you have some room then you can simply create a gust or wind blast to protect yourself. You can also try firing multiple projectiles at your opponent. Your opponent will then have to hit them all to defend themselves.

Description: The user channels his lighting chakra to his dominant hand and then radiates it out making it a hound shaped stream of lighting which stays attached to the users hand through a bolt of lighting and rampages towards his target.

Perform the technique: This time Genkai decides not to attack anything. She builds up her lighting chakra and releases it into her right hand when in reaches a peak. As the chakra is released she molds it into a medium size hound using shape manipulation. Genkai thrusts her arm forward and the hound runs in front of Genkai. Nothing happens and after a 30 seconds Genkai releases the jutsu.
Creative uses/strengths: This is the perfect jutsu to use when your opponent hardens their body. You can have the hound bite right through the armor (not the S-Rank one). If I used this jutsu I would send a water jutsu towards my opponent first and then follow up with this. It's risky but you can soak your opponent and then shock him with the hound. Also chances are an opponent is going to defend water with earth so the natural progressing is to attack with lighting next.
Drawbacks/counters: I think this jutsu is more risk than reward. Moreso than some of the previous techniques you are really open to water attacks. You also must maintain focus to direct the hound and this severally limits your options. Their are very simple wind counters to this such as hurricane fist, wind gusts, and wind blasts among others. You can also use fire to counter though it is not as common. You can also simply push your self to long range and the hound will not be able to attack you. The only elements that should be avoided are earth and water when countering this jutsu.

Believe it or not this was one of the first jutsus I loved using, especially during my early days of the RP. Its a great projectile based attack. The user will shoot a bolt of lightning shaped as a spear towards the opponent, it can also be split into many pieces though would get weaker with every split you make to it. Its a fast running jutsu as well. I loved it due to its simplicity as well as being quick to perform and very simple as well as effective. It can pierce and shock an opponent.

Note: Can only use lightning based techniques up to B rank.

A great tool to use, the user will simply create a clone of himself made of lightning. This clone is very similar to a regular shadow clone, it can move physically and use taijutsu. Its very proficient if used correctly. Now a difference is it can only use B-Rank techs for lightning and nothing else. When killed it turn back to a regular state of lightning and disperses. Now their is a way to take advantage of this, the fact that it turns back to lightning chakra means it still has lightning properties. Anyway an extra man in the battle is always good especially if its on your side. Combos are endless as well.

This is a great way to improve your kenjutsu abilities and taking an advantage.

Description: The user emits a spear of lightning from their mouth. The spear can then split apart to strike multiple enemies.

Perform the technique: Genkai spots 3 squirrels 8 m in front her and and to her right. This would be her next target, her prey. She builds up her lightning chakra and releases it from her mouth. As she does this she begins running towards the squirrels and uses shape manipulation to form the lightning into a spear. As Genkai runs at the squirrels they begin to run apart and Genkai splits the spear into 3 different bolts of lighting in response. The lightning quickly hits each of the squirrels zapping them in an instant.
Creative uses/strengths: The speed of the lightning spear is it's greatest advantage. It is also flexible since the spear can be broken up into multiple parts, and this jutsu can be used at any range. This jutsu is perfect if you are fighting an opponent indoors or if a rock structure is above them. You can simply fire the spear from your mouth and carve into the structure above them causing it to collapse on them. This jutsu can also defend against the hand of a golem if it swings at you.
Drawbacks/counters: Not a lot of disadvantages with this jutsu. The spear doesn't have a overly wide range unless you split the spear making it weaker. You also have to be careful not to use it on a water source and electrocute yourself. I would counter this with a quick wind blast from the mouth. Ideally something with 1 or no hand seals. You can also opted to attack the opponent instead from below and force them to cut the technique short. Of course this depends on the particulars of battle and where the lighting

The clone has a physical substance and therefor is able to use ninjutsu and taijutsu techniques as well as he has all the normal moves the user has.
Note: Can only use lightning based techniques up to B rank.

Perform the technique:Genkai builds up her chakra and vibrates it at a high frequency. This causes lighting chakra to gather in inside her body and Genkai focuses it by performing a cross shaped hand seal. After performing the hand seal the chakra is released into the environment and a lightning clone soon materializes to the left of Genkai. This time nothing is attacked and after a brief moment Genkai releases the clone.
Creative uses/strengths: The uses for this are almost limitless. The cool thing about this clone over the earth and water ones is, you don't need a source to form it. The clone can perform jutsu with you simultaneously making combo attacks easy to form. Also if this clone is destroyed over a water source then it can electrocute someone before disappearing.
Drawbacks/counters: As with the water and earth clones, the lightning clone can only travel up to short range of you. They are also restricted to B Rank lightning jutsu (interesting considering the water, earth can only use C). To defend against the clone you can defend based on the technique they perform, but wind jutsu are ideal. If you know it is a lightning clone then you should counter from a distance if possible. This is especially true on water. For all clones you need to form the cross shaped hand seal, right?

(Cho Biburato Raitonto) - Super Vibrating Lightning Release Sword
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A (+15 to kenjutsu and standard attacks)
Description: The user channels their lightning chakra into a blade, increasing its vibrating frequency and giving it more cutting power than standard wind techniques.

Perform the technique: It's time for another tree to die. Genkai unsheathes a steel sword from her left side by grabbing the hilt with her right hand. She then bends her elbow 90 degrees as she wraps her right arm around the front of her body such that the sword extrudes behind her on her left side at a downward 45 degree angle. With haste Genkai takes off running towards the tree which stands 5 m away. As she runs she builds up her lighting chakra and releases it into the sword. The chakra vibrates the sword rapidly and lighting quickly forms around the sword. Genkai reaches within 1 m of the tree and swings right her arm back across her body in a parabola shape slashing the tree in half. Genkai then sheathes her sword and walks back.
Creative uses/strengths: You can use this with almost any kenjutsu attack and the lightning is formed quickly. If your opponent hardens your body and your in short range you can destroy the armor with this jutsu. You can also cut your way out of earth structures if your trapped and have a sword handy.
Drawbacks/counters: This can only be used with a sword or other similar weapon and only in short range. This makes the application of this jutsu in battle severely limited. This is not a jutsu to use in the rain or on a water source. You can counter this with elemental kenjutsu or a wind blast if your quick. Some taijutsu can also be used as a counter but this depends on your body stance and your proximity to the sword.

I'd say if the descriptions does not say so then no, because I believe only shadow clones you do the hand seal. I would not be surprised though if you needed to.

Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: By Performing the ram hand seal the user will manipulate their chakra and they then raise their hand to the sky and an electrical discharge is triggered shocking the target.

Okay with one hand seal the user will raise their hand towards the sky sending a electrical discharge towards the opponent from the sky. Now its visible for the opponent to see you send the charge in the sky, so they can anticipate an attack, ways to mask them from knowing is hurting their vision. Its a fast performance tech but slow overall for the attack portion since it will be sent up and then have to go down taking two roads. It is though a normal jutsu and can be used to lure the opponents attention to the attack or used to try to attack in all angles of the opponent.

They will then throw them at their target to pin them down and maintain a connection with the shuriken through a electrical cable that delivers a numbing shock to paralyse the target and restrict their movements.
Note: Numbing Effect lasts for one turn.

Okay the user will take two large shurikens or one huge windmill shuriken. They will channel raiton chakra into them giving a serious electrical surge through them. Then the user will launch one of the two choices of shurikens at the opponent. The user will remain in control of them throughout the whole time the jutsu is active, because their will be a lightning cable which the user can manipulate. Now its a projectile but you will consistently need to remained focus on the chakra of the shuriken(s) if not then the lightning cable will disperse thus stopping the shuriken(s). If an opponent is hit they will be pierced delivering a numbing shock through their body, they will be numbed for one turn. Restricting their movements.

Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: By Performing the ram hand seal the user will manipulate their chakra and they then raise their hand to the sky and an electrical discharge is triggered shocking the target.

Perform the technique: Genkai stares at a tree 15 m in front of her. She builds up her lighting chakra and performs the ram hand seal to focus it. She then lifts right hand into the air. One the chakra has built up to a sufficient amount Genkai releases it through the chakra points in her hand causing electricity to be discharged into the air and travel into the sky. Genkai then swings her right arm forward and the lighting comes down at an angle and strikes the tree incinerating it.
Creative uses/strengths: This is a good jutsu to use if your opponent is somewhat stationary like if they have heavy rock armor on. It can also be used to strike other heavy objects such as earth golems or rock formations. The lightning has some flexibility as you can direct it to strike at any angle.
Drawbacks/counters: This as you stated is a slow jutsu. The lighting is released from your hand, but it is both visible and takes time to travel up to the sky and then travel back down to the target. You have to maintain focus throughout the entire tech which leaves you in a vulnerable position. Wind gusts and wind blasts are very simple counter to this jutsu.

( Raiton: Rakurai Senkou ) - Lightning Release: Thunderbolt Flash
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user releases a current of purplish lightning from their hands forward, damaging and knocking away enemies. The range of this technique is, however, limited.

Perform the technique: Genkai this times sees a bush 5 m in front of her. She builds up her lighting chakra and envisions it as purple in her mind. She then brings both her arms in front of her body and releases the built up chakra from her hands in the form of a purple electrical current. The current hits the bush and it crumbles to the ground.
Creative uses/strengths: A very basic tech that is good in short range combat like taijutsu. This is a great jutsu to use to stop earth projectiles as well and some earth jutsu that form at the ground. You can also stop kunai in their track with this jutsu. This is also yet another simple Raiton tech that can break you out of an earth dome or through an earth wall.
Drawbacks/counters: Outside of short range this jutsu can't be used which limits its use in battle. The best defense if you have time and your stance is appropriate is to blow a wind blast at the electrical current. You could also use hurricane fist to attack and defend at the same time. If your careful you also fire a water blast at your opponent and electrocute them.

Description: The user will take out two large shuriken or Windmill Shuriken and channel their raiton chakra into them. They will then throw them at their target to pin them down and maintain a connection with the shuriken through a electrical cable that delivers a numbing shock to paralyze the target and restrict their movements.
Note: Numbing Effect lasts for one turn.

Perform the technique: Genkai creates a earth clone and instructs it to walk 5 m in front of her. The clone would be her practice dummy for today. Set to start Genkai pulls out two large shuriken in each hand and releases lightning chakra into them. Electricity begins to flow around the Shuriken and Genkai jumps 3 m into the air. She stretches both her arms out to her side and does on 360 degree turn in the air. At the end of her turn she hurls both the Shuirken at the earth clone. The Shuirken quickly travel through the air attached to a lighting wire that Genkai has grasped in her hands. Genkai continuously feeds lightning chakra into the wire and the Shuirken hit the clone. The clone is immediately shocked at crumbles to the ground below.
Creative uses/strengths: This is best used when your enemy can't see you like in mist or through steam. You can throw the Shuirken and your enemy won't see it coming. This can also act as an attack and defense by cutting through projectiles and continuing towards a target.
Drawbacks/counters: This jutsu takes some time to perform. If your not hidden then your opponent will know what is coming. You also have to continuously feed chakra through the wire to maintain the motion of the Shuirken. You can defend with weapons of equivalent strength from ninjutsu techs, or you can stop the shuirken in their tracks with a wind gust or blast. You can also if your fast evade the shuirken with a simple earth jutsu such as a large pillar or the elevation change tech. Earth walls can defend against the shuirken but the walls must be at least A-Rank.

( Raiton: Purazuma Boru ) - Lightning Release: Plasma Ball
Rank: B
Type: Offensive, Defence
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20 (-5 per turn active)
Damage points: 40
Description: The user manipulating their chakra generates a plasma barrier around them to serve as a defence which protects them from incoming attacks, even from something as wide-ranged as the Quicksand Waterfall Flow. However the user cannot use other techniques besides lightning release or physical based techniques while sustaining the technique. The user can rush at their opponents even if the barrier is active and use it to ram against them. The shield can be used offensively, by discharging the electricity in the direction of their choice in a wave resulting in using the energy of the barrier and ending its effects.
Note: Technique remains active for 3 turns.

A brilliant defensive technique, withdraw backs. Now the user will quickly generate a plasma ball around their whole body. This ball is powerful enough to take in some strong attacks as well as projectile attacks. This is great to focus on the offense instead of needing to look to defend, you will always have upper hand on the opponent. A huge disadvantage is you can only use lightning jutsus as well as physical based jutsus. You can move around the terrain normally even if the plasma is active, giving a very mobile feel to it. Also if an opponent touches the plasma ball or tries to get close they will be shocked, also meaning you have an advantage in close range battle and force a opponent to push back. Lastly to conflict a serious blow, the user can release the energy of the ball which, if it hits the opponent, can cause serious damage towards him. It can only go up to short range the blast and the ball will disperse when you use the blast. If you don't and want to keep it full on, it lasts only 3 turns.

Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user manipulates their lightning chakra condensing into a orb of chakra and then releasing it into the air. The lightning orb will then remain in the air for several seconds releasing a continous rain of lightning bolts shocking any enemy within the radius of the attack.
Note: Lasts only the turn in which its used.

A good technique the user will condense a orb of lightning into their hands and release it into the sky. The ball will have built up energy and quickly after condensing it they will send the ball into the sky above the opponents area. After a few seconds (3-5 seconds) the ball will release its energy into countless needles which rain down upon the opponent, it acts as a way to pierce and shock the opponent. Now do not use this close to you. The bolts shoot everywhere short range within the radius its placed. So if you are in the radius it might hurt you to since the bolts shoot randomly. Also the rain goes down for one whole turn this makes it very tough for the opponent, its best you destroy the orb as soon as possible.

Perform the technique: Genkai stands in a field with tall grass. She looks up to the sky and sees a bird flying above her. The bird poops and it heads straight towards Genkai. Genkai is not going to let this hit her, no way. Genkai builds up her lightning chakra and envision the sharp piercing nature of lightning molded into the shape of a ball. Genkai quickly stores a sufficient amount of lightning chakra in her body and releases it through her chakra points. She shapes the exiting chakra into a ball of plasma (3 m radius) that completely surrounds her. The bird poop lands on the plasma ball and is immediately incinerated. A foul smell starts to surround the fields.
Creative uses/strengths: The ball completely surrounds you providing a 360 defense. You can block an attack and continue forward on offense with the ball still surrounding you. I would most likely use this if I was running towards an opponent. The ball would give me an extra defense to block weapons and other projectiles without having to make another move while I'm running. I assume once the ball is formed that directing as a bolt of lightning counts as another move, right?
Drawbacks/counters: You must continuously fuel chakra into the ball to keep it active. Moreso than other lightning jutsu you are highly suitable to water attacks. To defend against it you can destroy the plasma ball with a number of wind jutsu. You can also flood the battle field or make it rain which will electrocute your opponent or at least force them to release the ball. In very close proximity this jutsu is going to be difficult to defend against so the best defense is to not let your opponent get close.

Note: Lasts only the turn in which its used.

Perform the technique: So many trees, what kind of place is this? Their are so many trees but this isn't a forest. Sigh...... Genkai builds up her lightning chakra while see envisions it in the compresses shape of a crystal ball. After building enough chakra she releases it through chakra points in her hands and using shape manipulation a compressed ball of electricity forms between her palms. Genkai gives a slight push upward with her palms and the orb of lightning travels into the sky. As the orb travels in the air Genkai jumps back to a safe distance of 10 m from the orb at the outskirt of mid distance. Suddenly, bolts of lightning burst from the orb and strike several trees causing them to crumble to the ground. After a few seconds Genkai fires some wind bullets at the orb destroying it.
Creative uses/strengths: Not sure how much you can dictate with the lightning, but you can throw a barrage of kunai or other metal weapons at your opponent and then use this jutsu. The lightning will be drawn to the metal and thus to the proximity of your opponent. This is perfect to use if your opponent is standing on water and your not. This is also good to use if your opponent is hidden and you can't see them.
Drawbacks/counters: As you stated the lightning bolts can also hit you if your not careful. You also have no control on aiming the lightning bolts at your opponent so you can't really dictate where they will hit your opponent. To defend against this jutsu I would form a giant wind gust powerful enough to disperse the lightning and destroy the orb at the same time. You can also fire projectiles at the orb, but they won't be guaranteed to hit with the lightning rampaging in the sky. A few questions,

1. When you say you shouldn't use the orb near you does that mean you form it in your hands and then run away from it?
2. Just how much can you dictate with the lightning bolts? Can you say 2 bolts of lightning hit your opponent, and if so would those bolts of lightning be C Rank?
3. I assume the orb can only be destroyed by the equivalent of a B rank tech, is this correct?
