[Raiton] It's electric!!! (Leathercandle and Yashiro)

[Kryptiic]

A great supplementary jutsu. Just release lightning chakra from your body in the form of a bright light. As it says, layering it with genjutsu is great, though it can be layered with a lot of jutsu because if blinds the opponent + the time it takes for them to regain sight. It's best to use a jutsu that is stealthy when you use this, so that they cannot rely on their other senses.

Give me two or three examples of stealth jutsu you would combine this with, and one other combination not necessarily stealth related yet effective. And finally what would be the best ninja tool to pair with the jutsu?

(Raigen Raikochu) – Lightning Illusion Flash of Lightning Pillar
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

It's just a literal lightning blast. Form a chidori and then use shape manipulation to extend the lightning outwards as a blast. Straight forward.

(Raiton: Chidori Raimei) - Lightning Style: 1000 Birds Thunderstorm
Rank: S
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost:40
Damage Points:80
Descripton: The user will channel lightning chakra into his hand, covering it with a massive chidori. The user will then point his palm forwards, unleashing that chakra, creating a massive 120º blast of lightning that spreads from his hand, outwards and forward towards the enemy.

Rentaro wove four hand seals as he spread raiton chakra all throughout his body, creating a layer of blinding light to form all around him on his skin. Facing a clone that was blinded, Rentaro continued his assault by placing the clone into a genjutsu where all he would see is darkness, making him believe that he was blinded by the light completely (

Alright, three stealth techniques that would work well with this... Any technique that quietly summons something above the opponent like the toad jutsu, the one with water, dropping lid, the one with mud, etc. Them being blind makes it less likely than before to notice the attack coming from below. Another kind of jutsu which pairs well with this is ones that create controllable tentacles, whips, etc that can move towards my target silently and strike them. A variety of the more silent ninja tool techniques work as well, like techniques that shoot nails out of your mouth towards the target. A good technique that pairs with this well yet isn't very stealthy would be Phoenix flower jutsu, or any katon technique that fires multiple fireballs. The sound of them may give away some of their locations, but it would be nearly impossible to keep track of each individual location of each sound all at once and counter accordingly while blind. Finally, in my opinion the kunai without any attachments on it (bomb tags, smoke tags, etc) would be the best choice, though a senbon would work equally as well. They make little noise while thrown, unlike the shuriken that has the distinct sound of it cutting through the air as it spins. I would leave out any tags because they could flap around and reveal the location of the kunai and the tag, but it may also make a small noise a split second before it activates.

For the next technique, Rentaro formed a chidori in his right hand, then applied further shape manipulation to change the form of the lightning. Instead of staying on his hand, Rentaro forced the chidori to be blasted off of it 120° in front of him, taking out a large group of clones in one move. Rentaro noted that it wouldn't be viable to try using this if the enemy was too far away, but was a very handy technique to know if a mass of enemies were getting too up close and personal for his comfort.

You did a better job than I thought answering the questions. Even got the senbon right, which doesn't make sound. As seen when Haku got Zabuza in the neck. Not even Kakashi heard it. So yeah, Senbon are the best choice. Though I believe masses of senbon make a little noise, like from the umbrella (though I think the umbrella makes most of the noise) or shooting them from your mouth.

Another simple technique. Using a shadow clone, both use lightning cutter and extend the lightning to connect. Run forwards with some distance apart, anything inbetween it will get shredded. Kakashi used it against Pein, I believe.

( Raiton: Raiden ) - Lightning Release: Lightning Chain
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short (Mid range connection)
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description: This technique requires the user to firstly create a shadow clone. Then, each of them will activate the Lightning Cutter on opposite hands to one another. Connecting the two techniques together, forming a chain of sorts, they are then able to use the resulting beam to slice through objects with great ease.
Note: Must first have a shadow clone in the field.

As is says much more clearly there, along with a picture, you have to first strike a target with chidori. As you do, just like the A rank version, create a spear extending from the chidori that moves the opponent backwards with it, while being impaled. Concentrate a mass of chakra into the end of it to cause an explosion. Difficult to get off due to the initial contact needed. Pretty self explanatory as well.

( Raiton: Chidori Shinsō ) - One Thousand Birds True Spear
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description:The user starts off by dashing at his opponent with a Chidori in his hand. As they strikes his opponent, they uses shape manipulation to extend the Chidori into a lightning spear that impales and hurtles the opponent into the air. The user then increases the potency of the lightning, generating a powerful electric explosion at the end of the spear and sending the enemy back to the ground.
Note: Only the spear extention can reach up to mid range.

Rentaro wove three hand seals and focused a chunk of his chakra in the air next to him to create a shadow clone. They both immediately wove the necessary hand seals for Raikiri, creating one in opposite hands of the other. Rentaro's was focused in his left hand, while the clone's was in his right. The two spaced themselves out a bit, then ran towards a tree. Holding their arms out at each other, the two used their chakra to connect the Raikiris with a lightning chain. As the duo ran past the tree on either side, they pulled the chain through it which cut it down.

(they actually failed cuz they dont know raikiri yet gg)


Question: Does the clone and the original have to use the actual technique Raikiri before hand, making this a four move combo (including the creation of the clone), or does creating two Raikiris not count as a move? (I'm pretty sure its not a four move combo, but you can never be too sure)

Question: Do the two Raikiris need to be touching each other to connect, and then the clone and original space themselves out, or can they be connected from a distance?

---

Rentaro next created another clone in front of him using the Shadow Clone technique. Rentaro quickly created a Chidori in hand by channeling raiton chakra into it, then applying change in form principles. He then ran at the clone full speed, and stabbed him in the stomach with his Chidori. Adding more chakra to the Chidori, Rentaro caused it to extend as he raised his hand upwards a bit, causing the clone to be sent into the air on the end of the spear. At the end of the spear, an electrical explosion erupted, causing the clone to dispel.

Question: Once again, do I have to have separately created a Chidori prior to this technique, and if not do I have to weave all of the normal seals required to create one, or would it just appear in my hand without seals?

Question: If someone counters this technique before I can stab them and create the spear (if they counter when it is still just a Chidori), would that Chidori be treated as an S rank instead of its normal A rank?

Good job on the descriptions.

Answers for the 1st Jutsu:

1) you don't need to post the raikiri jutsu. Simply the clone jutsu and then the lightning chain.
2) They can connect from a distance, though the distance has to be within short range. From there you can move and have the chain connect from a midrange distance.

2nd Jutsu
1) Any jutsu requiring chidori first will need the handseals to first create the chidori. And any jutsu that uses a Chidori first doesn't need to have chidori posted first unless specified other wise. Like when you use Chidori spear, you just post the spear.

2) it would be A ranked. Some jutsus rank isn't necessarily their power. It can also be their difficulty to learn or what they are meant for. Like shadow clones, they're B rank because their pretty difficult, not because their power. So while this jutsu says S rank, imo the S rank power comes when the spear and explosion are together.

So it is just like Chidori, only much more concentrated. So perform the three handseals and focus your chakra into your hand. Materialise it as you would with chidori but use much more chakra control. Only Kakashi can make this a long range attack, unfortunately.


(Raiton: Raikiri) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blade
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.

Rentaro smiled as he had heard many tales about this next, and final technique. Applying the same principles of Chidori, Rentaro wove three hand seals and then focused raiton chakra into his right hand. He could feel the power swelling through his hand as he pressed more and more chakra into it. After a moment, he felt it begin to pour out in the form of lightning.
Raikiri!!
Rentaro ran at a massive boulder and pushed the raikiri into it. The power of the lightning pierced through the rock with ease. He then proceeded to move his arm about inside of it, breaking it apart even more. Then, the boulder fell onto him and he became obito gg
