For example, what if lightning users in Naruto had the same abilities as speedsters of DC Comics?

Phasing and accelerated healing.

And what about precog? Even though Kakashi is forever stripped of Kamui, he could still have the precog of base Sharingan. Couldn’t he focus lightning chakra to his brain and eyes, thus vastly enhancing his reflexes and whatnot?

You serious?

Its literally the element the series focuses in the most by a mile. Sure, the main character has wind, but he has one Jutsu with it. Sasuke's repertoire is built around multiple Lightning techs with the Chidori as basis, and there's also Kakashi who has a huge role in the series, pluswe have the Raikage and his armor, Darui and Black Lightning, the whole main team of the new generation.

If anything, they overdid it with lightning.

Hell, I'd love to see what someone who's extremely good at Earth or Fire could do with it had they built a proper repertoire around it.

I didn’t say that Naruto doesn’t have many lightning users, because it does. I’m saying that it hasn’t used all of the properties, utility, and possibilities of lightning. I want quality as well as quantity.

Lightning is the most versatile element if you can control it on a cellular level. Don’t compare fire and earth to it.

Maybe not every single possible aspect of it is explored, but that doesn't change the fact that at this point its just overused, though complaining about quality when we did get some pretty interesting uses to it seems unfair. But I digress, and if the most overused element by far still has facets we're yet to explore, that does say a lot about the other four.

Lightning isn’t the most overused. That would have to be fire. Lightning is probably the second rarest of the five main elements, after wind. Lightning is only common among Cloud shinobi.

And I’m not implying that I want to see lightning more explored than even KKG and KKT. I’m just saying so much more can be done with it than fire, earth, wind, and water.

Storm/Gale would have to be my most desired element if we’re talking KKG and KKT.

Sasuke did lightning justice



Shunshin > the Flash


Indra's Arrow > Mjolnir


Ameno > Einstein's theory


Chidori blitz can break the space time barrier

What you said is what the raikage are able to do to a certain degree but Thor (marvel) and flash are not based on lightening speed.

Thor-mjolnir is the power of a cosmic storm concealed inside uru metal. All the ridiculous powers including speed comes from Odin enchantments (please daddy more hand outs).

Flash-Speed force. A complex base of power purposed for all "speedsters" but the thing usually ranges from running faster than instant to slowing time all around you (How does that make sense?).

These powers far exceed the concept of lightning base speed.

Contrary to popular belief Sasuke is a better lightning user, he doesn't need a variety of lightning jutsu because his lightning affinity is strong enough to solely rely on chidori. If he wanted to he could copy jutsu tf out of Raikage's feats but Kishi was on his MS milking phase.

He could copy raikage's nintaijutsu but his rinnegan base powers already exceeded the speed of lightning. So he really didn't need it

Yes. I’m well aware that none of the examples I gave show normal raw lightning. But they’re all lightning is essence.

When we talk about lightning chakra of the Naruto series, there are many possibilities. Especially when you consider what a genius and expert chakra controller like Kakashi could theoretically do with the properties of lightning.

We need to consider Kakashi's physical energy/stamina. Lightning armour was designed for strong bodied people like the Ay and his lineage. Does kakashi have the body to handle moving at an accelerated rate of lightning?

It's not like a space time ninjutsu which transport you instantly with no bodily harm.

The main attribute of fire is destruction. There’s not much utility that can be done with fire alone.

At least there’s Amaterasu. That’s something :eww:
Except Amaterasu was nerfed hardcore. I would like to see expansion on fire,water and earth elements, the least shilled elements so far However lightning imo is the coolest and is probably my favorite. I hope we get to see Lightning armour again and I love the idea of phasing ability from the flash. That's a pretty badass idea.
