Theres really not much to say about this technique, it's one of the basics and is the most effective to catch people off guard when they don't see and i imagine this technique would mostly be used when you are hidden. It can be countered easily though because it's only D-rank. So yeah, i only see this technique as a technique to used in combination with other techniques.
Advantages: Very easy to use, its one of the basics. The technique is fast and easy to perform, it can be used in combination with techniques that either imobalize their opponent, or put them under a genjutsu giving them a smaller time frame to dodge the attack. Doesn't cost alot of chakra.
Disadvantages: It's only D-rank, because of this as i said it can be used in combo with a tehcnique that imobalizes their opponent. I imagine that if the person can still use their arms to channel chakra, can see and hear the lightning bolt they can counter it with a fuuton technique easily, even though they would use up 1 move to counter a D-rank technique. This technique is very simplistic and is kinda easy to anticipate.
How i would use it: The easiest way i would imagine it would be using any genjutsu technique to either scare them , get their attention away or paralyze them. The other way i see it would be completely block their field of view with a massive fire technique, water technique etc. It can also be used to shock yourself to break out of genjutsu
