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.

RP: Obito swiftly gesture the "Sheep" hand-seal and gather an abundant amount of chakra to his right hand and change it into electricity. He elevated his arm into the air, extending it to the sky, where he unleash a massive current of electricity from his hand, which was manipulated to race down on the target like a lightening bolt.

Analyze: After performing a hand-seal, chakra is kneaded in the hand and converted into electricity, creating vibrations with their chakra. The arm is extended, then raised to the sky, where the electricity is discharged. The electricity is manipulated to shock the target. It reaches them up to long-range, resulting in shocking damage and may deal paralyzing effects.

Rank: B

Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
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 paralyse the target and restrict their movements.
Note: Numbing Effect lasts for one turn.

RP: Rapidly throwing the Wind Demon Shuriken, Obito guided its course using wire. He manipulates the Wind Demon Shuriken to pin or skewer the target, while simultaneously, channeling electricity through the wire to increase penetration. As the Wind Demon Shuriken strikes the target, they become paralyzed and/or inflicted with a wound.

Analyze: A Wind Demon Shuriken is connected by wire and when channeled with electricity, it delivers a paralyzing effect if it strikes the target.

Alright my friend. Not a bad work. I have2 different methods. First one is: I will post 2/3 techniques and explain them.You will then perform each one and mention a few advantages and disadvantages.

The second method is that I will post 3/4 techniques and you will then rank these techniques from the favorite to the least and give me a very specific reason why they will be ranked that way. You will pretty much elaborate on why you ranked them that way.

First method includes RP while the other one doesn't. So which do you prefer we continue the training with?

(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.

Not a bad technique. You will extend your hands forward and send chakra to them. Now when you release the lightning, you will shape the chakra into bolts of lightning which fire forward. It can be a great offensive technique as it has enough power to destroy earth defenses considerably, and has enough power to damage and know away the enemies. You could use it very well against more than one group of enemies, or in combos with fire techniques to mask the lightning. Though, the rank is sometimes a real deal-breaker.

(Raiton: Purazuma Bōru) - 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.

This is one of the most useful lightning techniques out there. You will release the chakra all around your body and shape it into a very thin layer of electric charge. This shield now, is fairly versatile. It can protect you from even wide ranged attacks, and if you desire, you can ram someone with it. It has almost very physical characteristics. Another useful fact is that you can send the lightning towards on direction which you desire, creating a very nice offensive effect. You can keep it active for about 3 turns, while spending an extra 5 chakra every turn. But the negative part is that you can only use lightning techniques when it is active. You make your choice.

(Raiton: Kaminari no Shōgeki Ame) - Lightning Release: Lightning Shock Rain
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 continuous rain of lightning bolts shocking any enemy within the radius of the attack.
Note: Lasts only the turn in which its used.

Another really nice technique. You will create an orb of lightning right before you and fling it up. This orb now, will start releasing bolts of lightning for several seconds, in form of a rain which will hit almost everything below the location where it is set. The lighting bolts, are enough to seriously shock the enemy, and if you could use it in conjunction with a technique which limit the user's movements and have him stuck in a specific location, you can deal with him fairly quick.

 

[Urda]

Understood.

(Raiton: Purazuma Bōru) - Lightning Release: Plasma Ball
(Raiton: Kaminari no Shōgeki Ame) - Lightning Release: Lightning Shock Rain
(Raiton: Rakurai Senkou) - Lightning Release: Thunderbolt Flash



From the top, my favorite is Raiton: Rakurai Senkou because it is useful as it close gaps without putting your self in harm ways - being versatile. Something that is best suited for my fighting style. I also like the fact you can conjure other Lightning techniques and not be confine to only utilizing the technique.

My second and least favorite is the Raiton: Kaminari no Shōgeki Ame. Although, only used for offensive, it makes for an exploitable technique as the lighting rain can be cast anywhere up to mid-range. Focus on the lightning, this will catch the target off guard for you to follow with another attack.

My third and unfavorable technique is Raiton: Rakurai Senkou. It is a basic lightning technique, but has more of a impact than anything towards damage considering its rank. Its only good for when multiple targets get close.

 

[Six Paths]

You posted Rakurai Senkou in the first techniques when you elaborated and the last one again.
Make up your mind ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

I'm just joking, I understood everything. Not a bad reply, but I would love if you elaborated more on them^^.

(Raiton: Fusei Shuriken Chidori Jutsu) - Lightning Release: Rigged Shuriken One Thousand Birds Style
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user will utilize a large shuriken and channel a chidori into it. The user will then throw the shuriken charged with chidori towards the opponent resulting in paralysing them on impact. (paralysis lasts for 1 turn)
Note: Must Know Chidori

Not a bad technique at all. It will begin with you grabbing a large windmill shuriken and channeling lightning chakra to it, more specifically...Chidori. You will send lightning chakra to it, and then throw the shuriken. Once the shuriken touches the enemy, it doesn't even need to pierce him...he will be paralyzed for one turn. Now this technique does have many usages, as the paralyzation is very effective in the ninja world. Once the enemy can't move, you can finish him off in a multitude of ways, but the hard part is making it connect. Best way to do so, is in-cooperate it with rock techniques which can block the ways of the enemy, like growing rock in his sides, another one is blocking his vision, or just force him to move towards the shuriken, like pushing him towards it. Another case would be throwing it when he is in mid air, where he can maneuver less.

(Raiton: Raisogekishin) - Lightning Release: Lightning Rat Violent Quake
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: After performing the required hand seals Monkey → Ox → Boar → Tiger the user releases a discharge of electricity that shapes itself into several destructive disks of lightning. These are shot at the targets with great speed.

You will perform 4 needed handseals and from your body, you will release a discharge of lightning energy. This lightning will shape itself into disks of lightning, which are fairly concentrated and purple in color. As they spread in front of you, they can be used perfectly in any occasions. Due to the huge number of those disks, you can use this attack to stop an enemy from advancing forward. Another one would be the cases when you can mask it with techniques which block the vision, but it glowing would be a problem here. I would be careful when using this, since you can't fully control where they will fly, and they could be evaded.

(Raiton: Chidori) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user must first perform the following sequence of hand seals Ox → Rabbit → Monkey → Dragon → Rat → Bird → Ox → Snake → Dog → Tiger → Monkey and they will then focus lightning chakra into their hand to create a lightning jutsu that is concentrated in the user's palm and thrusted toward the opponent at high speed. The lightning in the user's palm sounds like birds chirping, hence the name, and allows the user to perform high grade cutting damage or high penetration piercing thrusts.
Note: Someone who mastered lightning release can perform chidori with just the Ox hand seal.
Note: Uchiha Sasuke and Kakashi Hatake bios can use the technique without handseals

One of the most iconic techniques in the needed series. You will perform 11 handseals and extend your left hand. Grab your hand's wrist with the other free hand and send chakra towards your palm. You will shape the chakra into a concentrated ball of chakra. Then, you will change the chakra nature into lightning. Small lightning discharges will spark all around and sound like thousands of chirping birds. This attack has a gigantic piercing ability, and is very much able to cut through matter very easily. Another advantage is being able to break through defenses very easily, and if they are weaker, you can still use your attack to hurt the enemy. Now...the biggest disadvantage would be this characteristic sound, which can be heard very easily. And since it is only bound to how far you can reach and pierce with your hand....it will be negatively impacting your chances.

Lol I seen that, I was just too lazy to edited. And I don't like to elaborate much in training.

1. (Raiton: Chidori) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds
2. (Raiton: Raisogekishin) - Lightning Release: Lightning Rat Violent Quake
3. (Raiton: Fusei Shuriken Chidori Jutsu) - Lightning Release: Rigged Shuriken One Thousand Birds Style

Of course Chidori has to be my favorite, but that's only because it is a assassination technique and with ones agility skill and Doujutsu - adding that I have - can perfect this technique into a killer Jutsu. Only downside is without Sharingan, it would be difficult to utilize in battle. I don't really care for the chirping noises since I have to be in close quarters to make contact - so my footsteps or presence alone would give me away by sense of hearing or seeing.

Raiton: Raisogekishin is my least second favorite. They are good for small projectiles, however, they are weaken given their numbers since the techniques strength would be divided equally of each disk created. They could attack wide-spread, but it would only decrease the techniques accuracy. And focusing on the technique, the target would only find openings to dodge.

Raiton: Fusei Shuariken Chidor Jutsu is the third and unfavorable. It could be easily free-form dodge due to being a Shuriken. Although, being imbued with Chidori, it could only increase its penetration power, while adding nothing else special to it. The Shuriken is nothing special, but maybe I make it a rig Shuriken to make it more fatal.

 

[Six Paths]

What we learned from the series, that you need sharingan to utilize chidori, doesn't fully apply to RP. It is mostly to build up drama, and was a writing decision which Kishimoto took. Nice work on the other bit.

(Raiton: Chidori Nagashi) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds Current
Rank: A
Type: Offense/Defence
Range: Short (Mid if channeled through a medium)
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A (+10 if used to boost weapon damage)
Description: This jutsu allows the user to generate non-focused electricity from their body. It can be used as an omnidirectional attack or be channeled through weapons, the ground or other conductive mediums. Because the electricity isn't focused, it doesn't kill on contact, instead it has great numbing and paralyzing effects. To channel Nagashi through a medium, the user needs to focus the technique into one of his hands which will then be put in contact with the medium and can only choose to either do a widespread attack throughout his whole body or to channel it into something; he cannot achieve both usages at the same time. Despite not having much destructive or damaging properties, Nagashi can be used to destroy low rank earthen and wooden structures and even negate chakra on the ground to stop high ranked earth and wood techniques. It has also been noted that Lightning Specialists that have mastered Lightning to the highest degree can resist total paralyzation, although they still feel the pain and numbing effects.
Note: Paralyzation lasts 1 turn if sucessful but is ineffective against bios who have a primary Lightning Specialty

One of the weirdest techniques of the whole RP. Very useful and versatile, just very weird as well. Now, this will begin with you omitting either an omni-directional stream of lightning, or channel it through a medium. This technique requires no handseals, and won't really harm anyone, but this will surely paralyze the enemy which will be just about enough as well and very easily to kill someone when he can't move. Now, you can use this in many scenarios, one being breaking free from genjutsu as it is an omnidirectional burst of chakra. Another one would be channeling it through the ground, through a weapon, ect ect....Just a very weird technique.

(Raiton: Ikazuchi Hakai) – Lightning Release: Lightning Destruction
Rank: A
Type: Attack
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: After performing a small sequence of 3 hand seals the user will place their hand on the ground converting their chakra in to lightning. The user then sends an enormous bolt of electricity that cuts through the ground in the direction of the enemy. The shape of the bolt is a triangular with the base in the direction of the user and the tip headed towards the target. It causes devastating destruction on its way and generates enough heat and power to destroy whatever it comes into contact with.

This is not a bad one either. You will perform 3 handseals, which the jutsu description doesn't seem to give, and you will slam your hands into the ground. The lightning bolts, will leave your hands and cut through the ground at very high speeds. The lightning bolts will be in a triangular shape in the vase, and head right towards the target. The moment that it reaches, will will cause a devastating damage, large enough to cause instant death to not only one, but many more if they are all gathered in one place...like hugging.

 

[Urda]

Raiton: Chidori Nagashi would be my favorite technique of the two. Using it both offensively and defensively, gives me an edge in battle. Although, short-range, I can extends its range to mid through utilizing the ground or conductive mediums.

And about the weird: I found it the RP update. Page 5. Scorps said:

Nagashi: there is a confusion about what nagashi can or can't do. Nagashi is unfocused lightning that spreads throughout the user. It can numb and paralyze opponents. Though, it can be used in different ways. If you channel it through B-Rank earth, wood, etc up to S-Rank (of anything weak to lightning) it will-spread through it and neutralize the technique but won't destroy it. Nagashi only has destructive properties if a big difference in ranks exist (C-Rank or lower). It has not tangible properties. If used from the body as a omni-directional "spread", it will only reach up to Short Range of the user. If used through the ground and targeting a piece of metal or other conductors stuck on the ground (like a kunai near your enemy or similar), it can reach mid range but in this case will not have any omni-directional abilities.

Lol "hugging"

Raiton: Ikazuchi Hakai is my less favorable or not favorite at all. It doesn't seem very unique other than the damage being greater than other Jutsu that travel through the ground using conductivity. It might does extreme damage to the terrain which one can benefit, but I don't see it being any different than the other Jutsu before it with similar concepts.

Well, Thanks for sharing, I just go that myself. We can continue with the next batch if you allow me.

The shape of the bolt is a triangular with the base in the direction of the user and the tip headed towards the target. It causes devastating destruction on its way and generates enough heat and power to destroy whatever it comes into contact with.

This is not a bad technique , although sometimes kinda hard to grasp. You will make 3 handseals and place your hands on the ground. Then naturally you will send lightning release chakra through the ground. The lightning release chakra will need to be very rough, and as it moves through the terrain it will actually cut through the ground. This way it could very well be detected, so remember if ever used against you. Now, the bolts will be shaped in a triangular form, with the tip headed towards the enemy, and once it hits, it will create a devastating destruction, and heat which will for most certainty kill the enemy. Now the cases when you use them would be best when the enemies vision is covered, or when he has no other way except to head for the attack. In cases of a free fall, or running, or while maintaining a streaming technique. You can use the chance very well to gain an advantage as the technique is quick, and if the sigh and hearing of the enemy are hindered, it would be a best case scenario.

(Raiton: Chidori Senbon) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds Needle
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user reshapes the Chidori in their hand into the form of countless senbon which are shot with a simple hand movement towards the target. The senbons are extremely precise and have the same numbing and paralyzing effects as Chidori, carrying enormous speed. Because the technique requires no handseals and is done with simple hand movements, its extremely hard to avoid while in short range and quite dangerous to counter due to the precision attacks it can be used to perform.

Another chidori variation. Don't get to bored of these, there will be a ton more. This technique actually is insanely useful and can get you an advantage in many cases. You will send lightning chakra towards your hands, and create a normal chidori. Then simply wave your hand in front of you. The lightning will then shatter into thousands of little needles as they move through the air towards you enemy at insanely high speeds. This technique is mostly used to paralyze the enemy, but it has a very insane precision as well, so you can aim for major veins and arteries, and if they connect, you can most likely kill the enemy. Since it covers a very wide area, dodging in Short range is close to impossible, and mostly you need cover, so an Earth wall or maybe an equally wide wind technique would do the trick.

Sorry for the late reply

 

[Urda]

Your cool.

FAV: (Raiton: Chidori Senbon) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds Needle

Simple to understand. Easy to cast. Although, I don't know about precision since its wide-range.

Question: Is the number of senbons split into lower ranks?


LEAST FAV: (Raiton: Ikazuchi Hakai) – Lightning Release: Lightning Destruction
I tired of performing lighting on the ground. I get the ground its just a medium, but dang. On top of that I have to perform hand-seals too. :| I see vulnerability written all over techniques like this. Anyway, I understand, like the rest of them, just stronger lightning.

 

[Six Paths]

To answer your question, No it is not. The Senbons are hundreds and thousands, so it would be very tough to break them up separately in ranks, or they would be non existent. All of them together though, carry the power of an A-rank. And the technique states, you can aim very accurately, so if you have knowledge over pressure points, you can paralyze the enemy very efficiently.

Anyway, I didn't fully appreciate the information you shared on the first technique, and the second one, I feel like you are looking down upon a little. The first tech is useful because of the pin point accuracy, and because of the high amount of senbons coming together i swarms. Also, once this attack connect, paralyzing follows, so ti would very very efficient.

As for the second one, it is actually very well useable when you think about it. The attack since it moves towards the ground will cancel ad/or break earth defenses. Also the fact that once the hit connects there will be an explosion, it will manage to defeat many enemies at once with minimal effort.

If I may, I would ask you to do this set again and try to explain things a little more throughout-fully. Sorry

 

[Urda]

Sigh.

Chidori Senbon would be my favorite technique considered it is fast and hard to avoid. Although, the downside is making hand-seals before utilizing the technique. But, the swift precision release make up for it.


Lightning Destruction is my least favorite technique as I said it is too much going on. I have to perform hand-seals and place my hand on the ground which leaves me vulnerable unless my opponent is distracted. Yes, it is useful for breaking earth-based techniques that manipulate the ground, but it would be a waste of chakra if the opponent is not in the line of fire or airborne.

 

[Zaphkiel]

My way is different, simply perform them in an RP manner.

By putting a great amount of Raiton into a preferred hand you compress it into a ball of glowing lightning energy, you can either throw it or force a ninja to eat it by literally thrusting it into their mouths. Either way, it explodes on contact into a 'massive' lightning explosion. Try it out on this fellow here.

With 4 hand seals you will focus and release your Raiton chakra into the ground to have it forcefully erect earthen pillars around opponent(s). Now this on on a much bigger scale than Four Pillar Bind and can be used to restrain a fully materialized Tailed Beast, such as what we've seen with Kurama. When used in tandem with Firing Biscuit and Mud Fall you can effectively 'caramelize' opponents as well. Try it out on Hachibi there who is terrorizing Kumogakure.

Description: After performing the needed hand seals Rat → Monkey → Horse → Tiger the user will create a even more powerful version of Lightning Release: Four Pillar Bind. Using this technique, the user creates sixteen giant pillars by using his lightning chakra to shape the ground into a multitude of pillars, which then form a giant cubic oven to trap the enemy. It is often used after Earth Release: Mud Fall to cover the enemy target in mud and then follow up with using Fire release: Firing Biscuit, creating flames in the oven to roast and harden the mud, immobilizing the enemy.

And lastly, form a Chidori and shape manipulate it into a focused blade of lightning reaching up to mid ranged. It can be used to slice and pierce physical objects just like any sword and can even bend under stress, such as heavy weight. But here's the kicker, it numbs upon contact with enemies. Use it wisely young one. Oh and it doesn't take up two slots, the Chidori is simply apart of its formation.

Description: The user increases the range of their Chidori by using form manipulation to extend it into a blade up to 10 meters in length. This blade is capable of splitting into multiple additional blades upon contact with an enemy, drastically increasing the number of wounds it can inflict. Like other Chidori-related techniques, this jutsu will numb its target upon contact but unlike others, seems to focus more on having a cutting power, like a katana, than a piercing one. Because of its cutting abilities, it often seems to manifest a certain "solidity"; a tangible aspect.

(Raiton: Sanda Appu) – Lightning Release: Thunder Up
Dodai cautiously and carefully watches the running man as he delivers a flying kick to his face. Reacting quickly, Dodai sidesteps the man, while catching the man open on his rear as he landed to ground. Dodai wasted no time and attack: converting chakra into electricity and send it to his hands, where it was compressed into a ball. The small electrical ball was thrust to the man's backside, which caused a huge electrical explosion on impact. The damage faced on the man's back was sever resulting in electrical shock.

(Raiton: Jūrokuchū Shibari) – Lightning Release: Sixteen-Pillar Bind
Dodai spots the raging, monstrous Eight-Tails and gesture a string of hand-seals - Rat → Monkey → Horse → Tiger, which initially summons sixteen giant earthen pillars and imbued them with electricity. Further binding the Eight-Tails, the pillars are shaped into a oven, confining the beast.

A powerful blow to the pillars can destroy the structure due it not having special electrical effects.

(Raiton: Chidori Eiso) - Lightning Release Chidori Sharp Spear
Seeing the Eight-Tails tentacles assault falling down on him from below, Dodai forms Chidori in his right hand and with a swinging motion, a spear is shaped. The spear is extended in length, while waving left and right, being able to slashing the large tentacle of the Eight-Tails in half, evading the full impact of the blow.

 

[Zaphkiel]

So this technique begins with a whirling vortex around you that later takes shape into a dragon to fire ahead of you. Now this seems pretty rudimentary and simple now, but in combat could mean the world. For example if someone attempts to bind you in place or even sink you underground. Although, I wouldn't use this to counter Swamp of the Underworld however.

After 4 hand seals and contact with the ground you'll have your chakra pool beneath the opponent in the form of a seal our something, this seal serves to show the techniques area of influence. Meaning, anything caught in this 'seal' will be immediately jolted with massive amounts of electricity as without warning it can erupt into a column of lightning, electrocuting anything inside.

He control the massive electrical attack to stalemate, shooting in the direction of the impeding opponent, who unleash a similar Taijutsu attack - having dragon-like characteristics. The techniques would clash, with Dodai winning the stalemate and the opponent suffering heavy shocking damage over his body, resulting in fatal injuries.

Question: Am I stationary or carried with the technique?

( Raiton: Denpō Sekka ) – Lightning Release: Telegram Flash
Dodai gestures the Rabbit → Rat → Horse → Ram hand-seals, and then forcefully slams his palm on the ground, channeling an immense mass of electricity, which spread below the opponent and erupt as a large column, shocking them.

Note: I wouldn't say "seal". That's commonly affiliated with Sealing Techniques and Hand-seals. I would say "manipulation" as the electricity is bend by the users will, so its up to the users imagination.

Question: Stationary, as was seen in the episode it was performed.

Note: You're right, I shouldn't call it seal, but that was the only thing I could describe as at that moment, thanks.

Now you're on your way to S ranks, it gets bigger, faster, and stronger from here on out;

Now this technique was originally performed by the Lightning Masked Beast owned by Kakuzu, but it became usable to the general public way back. For you, you would need the Snake hand seal and a good point to fire it from. Its pretty much straightforward as a technique, a fast moving, high density, energy spear that can split apart into multiple smaller copies to attack more people, and yes I would assume the ranks get divided the more you split it.

(Raiton: Gian) - Lightning Style: False Darkness

Spoiler

Rank: S
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Descripton: The user, after performing the Snake hand seal, emits lightning in the shape of a spear from their hands or mouth which then pierces the enemy. Kakuzu, the original user, shoots the technique from his Lightning mask's mouth. Its destructive power is great enough to even pierce through rock; meaning it has a high killing potential. The user can increase the number of spears to attack multiple enemies by branching the main spear. This, coupled with the sheer speed of the lightning, makes it a difficult technique to evade. This strong attack can be defended against by an equally strong attack of the same element such as Raikiri.

This was Kakashi's move, and by right should still be but we aren't complaining are we? So it starts off by forming the infamous Raikiri in your preferred hand, then in a concentrated and subtle manner you'll split the Raikiri in two, covering both hands with two Raikiri. You'll then advance on the enemy to perform melee attacks and hopefully deliver both attacks. Its also a very quick way to defend from earth projectile attacks, but that's contextual and I wouldn't suggest to a novice.

(Raiton: Raikiri Nibai Raikou Jishin) – Lightning Release: Lightning Blade Double Lightning Quake

Spoiler

Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description: The user performs (Raiton: Raikiri) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blade and splits it in two, covering both hands in Lightning. He will then perform a melee attack at the enemy, unleashing the powerful lightning into him.

Now this is undoubtedly the most impressive showcase of Raiton from the show, next to the almight Indra Arrow of course. It involves a little pseudo science, whereas you heat up the atmosphere with a Katon technique of B ranked and above. This charges the clouds with particles through heat energy I'm assuming. This also means that the clouds are supercharged, which paves the way for freak lightning storms. However, you with a Chidori will take control of this death cloud and release a massive bolt of lightning in the form of a Kirin, a Japanese mythical serpent beast. The technique happens in a flash literally and requires some prerequisite actions or Space Time Ninjutsu to evade. Needless to say it leaves a massive crater in its wake. Such a move is very costly and requires a complete turn to set up, but be wary, the opponent can distract you and take the super charged cloud for himself and use your own Kirin plans on you. The striking process uses two of your 3 moves also and it requires you to post the Chidori and the Kirin in the same time you strike the enemy. Use it wisely.

Rank: S
Type: Offense
Range: Mid-Long
Chakra Cost: 70
Damage Points: 120
Description: After using a fire jutsu to heat the atmosphere and create thunderclouds in the sky, the user will use Chidori to take control of the lightning above. They can then make the lightning strike an opponent in the blink of an eye.
Note: Can only be avoided with time/space techniques or otherwise absolute defenses.
Note: Can only be used once per battle.
Note: In the turn before the use of Kirin, the user must have used at least a B-Rank, Long Range Fire (Katon) technique directed at the sky.
Note: User needs to post Chidori, meaning that in the turn Kirin is used, the user spends 2 moves

(Raiton: Gian) - Lightning Style: False Darkness
Dodai gestures the Snake hand-seal, and then emit a laser-light bolt of lightning from his mouth, which is focused to pierce and shock the opponent.

(Raiton: Raikiri Nibai Raikou Jishin) – Lightning Release: Lightning Blade Double Lightning Quake
Dodai rushes Kakuzu, moving super-fast in a linear direction. As he charge, both his hands are amassing chakra, which is converted into electricity, activating Raikiri. When he approach, he lean in close-quarters delivering a combination of thrust movements - using the Raikiri as a melee weapon to pierce him.

(Raiton: Kirin) - Lightning Release: Kirin
Dodai shoots a several meteors made of fire into the sky, which heated the atmosphere, causing large dark clouds charged with electricity to form, producing thunder and lightning. Then, he created Chidori in his right hand and begin using the lightning within the storm clouds, making his Lighting Jutsu infinity more powerful. He was able to shape the lightning into a beast, which stroke down upon his opponent, who is helpless to defend against its sheer speed and power.

Performing something akin to the Chidori in both hands and then clapping them you release a massive thunderbolt directed at the target. You're basically combining both Chidori and focusing the resultant force outwards at the enemy/target. Its so dangerous that if you use it in short range you can destroy yourself as well, so use it when there's a little distance between you and the opponent.

(Raiton: Chidori Jinrai) – Lightning Release: 1000 birds ThunderClap.

Spoiler

Rank: S
Type: Attack
Range: Mid-Long
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description: The user will cover his hands in with lightning, essentially performing a (Raiton: Chidori) Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds in each hand. Clapping his hands together, the user can unleash that massive amount of lightning chakra into the form of a powerful Thunderbolt directed at the target. The technique is best used if the user has a height advantage in relation to the target. The thunderbolt is strong enough to leave a giant crater and cannot be used while being in Short-range of the target, at the risk of being hit also.

The iconic Raikiri, with more cutting potential than the Chidori, this is the iconic weapon of Kakashi Hatake as you would know already. Its very similar to the Chidori with the difference being the sound produced which is more refined than the screeching sound of birds, and its shape which hugs around the user's hand much more like an actual blade than a ball of lightning. Only Kakashi bios can use it without hand seals and apply them to weapons for projectile based attacks. Try it out on that dummy there.

(Raiton: Raikiri) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blade

Spoiler

Rank: S
Type: Offense
Range: Short (Long if applied to a projectile weapon)
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Description: The Lightning Cutter is an enhanced and concentrated form of the Chidori with the same effects and drawbacks that is done performing the Ox → Rabbit → Monkey hand seals. According to Might Guy, it gained its name after Kakashi split a bolt of lightning with it. Because the Chidori is already powerful on its own, the Lightning Cutter requires better chakra control, which is exemplified in its appearance. The Chidori appears as simply a mass of white electrical chakra in the user's hand, while the Lightning Cutter is much more focused. Kakashi has shown different ways of forming and using the Lightning Cutter, unique to him. For example, he demonstrated the ability to imbue a projectile weapon, such as a kunai, with his Lightning Cutter, granting the technique long-range capabilities by throwing the kunai towards his target. In this instance, the kunai was capable of piercing through multiple large rocks with ease, without any loss of momentum or change in trajectory.
Note: Kakashi biographies can use the technique without hand seals.
Note: Only Kakashi biographies can apply the technique to a kunai and use it as a projectile attack.

This is a very good supplementary technique. By using your Raiton you release a blinding flash of light from your body that will affect anyone who looks at it, even Doujutsu users. The blinding light is however only a cover up as directly after the light is cast you have the option to cast a Genjutsu on your opponent(s) using the light as cover. This requires completion of Genjutsu training however but it allows you to add the illusion senselessly with reality which makes it harder to decipher as an actual illusion. One of the best techniques to use this with is Demonic Illusion: False Surrounding Technique. On your own you could come up with much more combos, but remember you aren't only limited to Genjutsu- it can be used along with many other techniques, its just that Genjutsu is best.

Rank: S
Type: Supplementaty
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: N/A
Description: After performing the following handseals Ram → Horse → Snake → Tiger the user will release a massive amount of lighting chakra which he uses to create a blinding light that appears to emanate from all over the users body. The light can blind any enemy that sees it but its main ability is that, through skill and precise chakra control and timing, the user can use it as a cover to put the enemy into a genjutsu by using the light as a decoy, preventing the enemy from noticing the genjutsu was placed.
Note: Can follow with any Genjutsu the user knows up to A-Rank but needs to have mastered Genjutsu. The user will need to effectively spend two moves, performing both the Lightning Illusion and the Genjutsu; the first only serves as a cover to place the second unnoticed
Note: Can only be used once every three turns
