Lightning release is one of the five basic elements in Narutoverse. It is strong against earth, because it can pierce right throughit, but weak against Wind because air is a natural insolator. Though it is neutral to the other elements, it has a special relationship to water because water conducts electricity, thus allowing the lightning to travel through it.
Raiton chakra is wild and hard to control, since it consists of high frequent vibrating chakra.
The lightning element can serve different purposes such as increasing speed, improve weapons, shielding the own body, paralizing the target or killing blows.
If you know how to do it you can also utilize the natural lightning from the sky.
Good, you know your stuff. ^^ For the first jutsu you'll learn, you will need to get a strong mental image of the essence of lightning (basically a clear description of lightning's characteristics) and concentrate on converting your chakra to the lightning nature. Then send the chakra to your hands and try to release some small bolts of lightning from your fingertips into my arm.
*I gather my chakra and concentrate on the characteristics of lightning. The wild, striking power, its speed but also the high frequency. As I do that, I try to apply these features to my own chakra by increasing its freqeuncy. I feel it rushing through my body with high speed, like it is trying to force its way out, causing a prickling feeling. I focus harder on my chakra to keep control and slowly get accustomed to it. Then I channel the chakra into my hands and focus it within my fingers. I carefully raise my arm and release the chakra in form of several small bolts of lightning from my fingertips and into your arm.*
*my arm convulses a little as the lightning passes through it*
...i'm fine. That's impressive, getting it on the first try. You've learned:

Depending on how well you do i may teach you sets of jutsu later to get through this training quicker.

Still having some problems to controll its power, I carefully focus more chakra into my hand, then slam it on the ground and release the chakra into the ground and towards your clone. Whlie moving through the earth, the surge of lightning disintegrates the earth it makes contact with. As soon as the lightning hits your clone, it shocks his feet and paralyzes his legs.*
Good, now i'll teach you 3 more. For the first one you hold out your hand and release lightning chakra into the air around you. Then have it manifest in the form of a electric field to block attacks with. Protect yourself from my clone.

Good, good. For the next jutsu you will need to perform the Ram, Boar, Dog, Bird, and Hare handseals to summon four giant rock pillars around your target.

I then perform the Tiger hand seal and channel the chakra into my right foot, stomp it on the ground and release the chakra into the ground, causing a slicing jet of water to rise, that travels towards your clones. As quickly as possible I gather some more raiton chakra and channel it into my hands and into the water I released before, thus electrecuting it.

*After that I face three more clones that are moving pretty fast. Quite confident that I can get them I gather a portion of my raiton ckakra. When I gathered enough chakra I bring my hands together and electrical energy begins to crackle around them. I then slam my hands on the ground and release an electric current that moves across the ground and is controlled by me. Your clones run in differant direction so I manipulate the lightning chakra to split into three current, each of them hunting down one clone. Thanks to the speed of the lightning and guided by me the current are able to close the gaps between the and your clones eventually and shock them on impact.*
