depends on the rank if by 2 lightning balls you mean False darkness (S rank lightning) then no, if you mean the C or D rank one you form and throw then it should since its A rank and the same element.
It can but nagashi is a burst. So it can only act as a way to stop one ball at a time unless both balls are shot on the same time.
2 C-Ranks = 1 B-Rank so no problems.
But what i was saying was:
Me: I throw one ball then the other
You: use nagashi once
Then you are dead cuz second ball you come after the nagashi.
Time frame. Don't know if i could explain myself well? Also, this should be in the Q&A in the training grounds

Would you really call Nagashi just a "burst?" If the user activates it why would he deactivate Nagashi within his own turn, knowing that a second lightning ball is headed towards him? The lightning is uncontrollable, it can be sent in the air all around as well as the ground. I agree with you, but I think it depends on the time within each ball was sent. Its not like Nagashi will deactivate the second it hits a lightning ball in mid air.
Id like to see what a RP mod or sensei thinks about this
I don't see nagashi like iron skin were it would stay active though out the turn. Nagashi is an unfocused burst of lightning. If it stays active throughout the turn, then the user would be vulnerable to any strong water during that time. I'd say that in our RP its better if we assume it acts as a burst.Would you really call Nagashi just a "burst?"

If the two balls are shot at the same time (with clones for example), then one nagashi can defend. If its one against the other i don't think so. Its like saying you shoot me with two (Katon: Goenkyu) - Fire Style: Blaze Ball (one after the other) and i defend with one (Suiton: Teppoudama) - Water Style: Water Bullet. Since the two fires weren't combined into one (they have the same speed thus they would never clash into each other and make one single attack), the water bullet would only detain the first ball of fire.
I think its the basic reason why clones are such an asset in a fight... But off course my reasoning may be wrong

it really depends on HOW MUCH AFTER you shooted that ball, cause as we know, nagashi goes up to Mid-range, so if you shot it at mid-range, than it would still stop both of them (it would be easier if you would post link to that battle ) BUT, if you were in Long range and launched the 2nd one when the 1st one was in mid-range, and he used Nagashi when the 1st one was in close range, than 2nd one would be in mid-range so nagashi would stop both of them

Both launched from mid-range, one to the left and one to the right. Both launched at the same time.it really depends on HOW MUCH AFTER you shooted that ball, cause as we know, nagashi goes up to Mid-range, so if you shot it at mid-range, than it would still stop both of them (it would be easier if you would post link to that battle

Actually Nagashi should stop both of them.
You threw one, waited a few seconds and then threw the other if I'm getting this right?
Nagashi, though the lightning itself is uncontrollable, the time in which he keeps it active is. if it be just a few seconds longer then it wouldnt be an issue. Now if you threw a lightning ball then with the same hand threw a kunai with ex tag, and then with the other hand threw another lightning ball, then I would say that he would need to stop the Nagashi to stop the kunai or it would explode , and then do something to stop the other lightning ball unless he took out the last two with a decent wind technique.
Interested in what a mod/sensei says as well.
