"Lightning is one of the five basic elements along with fire, wind, water and earth. Though it is not as strong or fast as natural lightning, the lightning release is still known for its speed and piercing strength. It is pure energy that can be infused into blades to cause marvelous cutting abilities using vibrations. Another main ability of it other than shocking is paralyzing. Its relationships with the other five basic elements are follows:
Fire vs Lightning: Due to both being energies without physical form, the winner of this match up is purely depend on the users and how well they can utilize their element.
Water vs Lightning: Caution is to be taken when this match up occurs. Though water can be used in conjunction with lightning to cause extra damage to the opponent, it can be turned against you as well.
Lightning vs Lightning: Just as fire, the outcome of this match up depends on how well one can utilize the element.
Wind vs Lightning: It is said that wind will always beat lightning. However, a true shinobi knows not to believe this. No element, if used right, has a weakness it cannot overcome. Though it is true that wind is a good electric insulator and has a natural strength against it, it will not always win against lightning. If you are a true fighter you will note that lightning can use its sparks to ignite certain materials such as trees. With this attribute lightning can easily make fire, winds greatest weakness.
Earth vs Lightning: An earth release user must fear a lightning master for the ground cracks and crumbles at the power of lightning.
All in all lightning is mainly a offensive nature but can just as well be used for a great defense. An example of a kekkei genkai that requires lightning is storm release which is the combination of lightning and water. The range of the element can easily extend from close range to long range. A variation of the lightning release would be the black lightning that was first used by the third raikage whom passed it on to Darui. Some well known lightning release techniques are the lightning release armor, Kakashi's chidori and sasuke's kirin. Each of these techniques help show evidence of the lightning releases extreme speed and piercing abilities." Yukio could go on and on but he decided not to fill V's head with information he already knew. Besides, he had a good feeling that the given info would suffice. Showing confidence in his already existing knowledge of the element, Yukio grew impatient and desired for the real training to begin.
