The Lighting Element, otherwise known as Raiton is element which manipulates lighting created via chakra. It has the properitesi to shock, electrocute, paralyze, sometimes induce heat, and basically fry people if they are wet. Lighting Release makes up a multitude of other elements in the anime such as Storm Release, Dark Release, Swift Release, and I think Black Lighting. The most prominent users are most likely the ones from Kumogakure such as Darui, A, Third Raikage, and Sasuke and Kakashi are good with lighting as well. Its weak to wind because I think wind doesn't allow it to form or whatever but its strong to earth cause its able to cut through earth with ease. Chidori, Kirin, Lighting Armor are examples of jutsu that utilize lighting and yeah thats all i know so far. LolAppearing in flash of blazing flames, I step forth as I stretch my arms and crack my neck as if I was warming up. The terrain was mountainous and bare which was quite ideal for the training that was about to commence. Watching my student I smirk before beginning to talk. "So, tell me all you know about the lightning element. What properties does it carry, what are its effects on the body, what forms have been seen in the manga, who are some prominent users, what are its strengths, its weaknesses, etc.... Tell me all that you now."
