[Raiton] Learning with Akasha-Sensei.

You are pretty correct. I always look at it this way to be honest. Currents for lighting are like streams for fire. Those are technique which you constantly fuel with your chakra and your chakra is tied to them. When it comes to currents there is usually less shape manipulation involved. Currents are usually released through a medium which can be a weapon of sorts, ground or similar. Unlike projectiles, currents usually have less cutting capabilities. Now currents always stay in control of a user as they are tided to their chakra which means user has more possibilities in controlling them. But although user can control them more, he can not make a combo by releasing the current and then making another technique follow them. Unlike projectiles, where you can send a projectile technique and send another one to follow it, when it comes to currents you can only do it if you have an ally,clone or summoning next you.

Any questions before we continue on techniques? O_O

That was very informative, no questions!

Next technique that I am going to teach you has been used by Fuka against Naruto. Basically what I need for you to do is focus raiton chakra within your hands before releasing it from it whilst applying processes of both nature manipulation and shape manipulation. Nature manipulation as to generate lightning and shape manipulation as to form a wave. Actually usage of this technique can differ depending on how you want to utilize it. You can either form a small surge or stream of lighting which is capable of ripping through solid rocks (of course elemental weaknesses and strengths apply). Now, this technique is also good to be used in conjuction with water technique as it increases its strength by 10 damage. Also, when used in conjuction range would change depending on the range of the water technique.

(Raiton: Jibashi) - Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short (Short-Long depending on the water technique)
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30 (+10 to a water technique when used in conjunction)
Description: This jutsu allows the user to create a wave of electricity from the user's hands. This jutsu can vary in power from a small surge to shock an opponent to a powerful stream of lightning capable of ripping through solid rock. It is ideal to use in conjunction with a water jutsu.

Question: I thought for example if I combined a fire and wind technique of B ranks, I could create an A rank. Wouldn't it benefit me more, strength wise to combine a C rank water with a C rank lightning in order to increase it's overall rank as opposed to only +10 damage? Maybe this technique is better suited for water techniques that aren't of the same rank? meaning, I can empower even up to S rank water by +10 damage even though it is only a C rank?


Izaku begins to channel his lightning chakra around his hands and use nature transformation in order to vibrate that chakra and turn it into lightning energy. He then crouches forward and slams his hands on the ground. As he does so, he uses shape manipulation to both release and manipulate the energy in a wide spread, allowing the lightning current to travel very wildly and unexpectedly throughout short range in front of him.

Greetings, Future Mizukage-sama. I will be continuing this training as Akasha's senpai.

Regarding your question: It would be ideal to use it with a water technique of the same rank in order to make your Water + Lightning combo increase of 1 rank overall. If it were to be used in conjunction with an S-Rank water technique or another water technique which is above C-Rank, then the combination would remain at the same rank overall as the water technique is but would become more powerful since there's also C-Rank powered lightning shock applied to the water. The +10 damage would always be applied regardless of the water's rank. Even if you don't benefit rank-wise, the technique will still serve the purpose of shocking/electrocuting your opponent if they do get in contact with the water technique you're sending your Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder to. I hope I answered the question >_<

As for performance, well done.


I'd like you to perform, mention advantages and disadvantages to each technique I'll be posting from now on.

(Raiton: Raigeki no Yoroi) - Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Armour
Rank: C
Type: Offense/Defence
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user surrounds themselves with electricity. The intense electric field protects them by electrocuting anyone who comes into contact with it, but only works for one attack.

You release raiton chakra from your entire body which you then turn into electricity that covers your body entirely. A nice technique to use in close quarter combat to defend against certain attacks while also electrocuting your opponent when they attempt to land an attack at you (punches, kicks, etc).

You'll make me blush! xd Awh, it's a shame that she will be unable to finish my training. Nothing against you, its just that she was the one that had offered and well, it was special (Not that ours wont be!)

__

So that means the +10 damage is a bonus perk? The actual "C rank" strength of the technique would allow a C rank water technique to both move up in rank (B rank) as well as be further strengthen by + 10 damage points?

Izaku manipulates and vibrates his chakra all around his body, turning it into lightning energy that begins to surround him in a field of electricity. Izaku then walks up to a tree and places his palm against the surface, causing the wood to splinter into pieces from the shocking properties of lightning. (I think..)

A good point is that the technique covers the entire body, so there is no way around getting to the user without using some sort of technique. If they only rely on close combat, they will surely be shocked without some sort of special ability. This technique seems to require constant fueling and manipulation so the user is unable to use other ninjutsu techniques. I am unsure if I would be able to still use lightning release though. Another thing I see with this technique is that it might produce some vulnerable towards self electrocution, if someone exposes me to a source of water, causing me to short-circuit.

 

[Tsuki]

Yes, that's correct. Exactly as you described it O_O The +10 damage is a bonus perk.

Well done. I don't believe you can use another technique while your Lightning Strike Armour is active since once you stop fueling it with chakra, the shield will disappear.


(Raiton: Iwa Nadare) - Lightning Style: Stone Avalanche
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Descripton: By forming hand seals Snake → Upside down Tiger → Hands clapped together when near a cliff , the user causes stone and rock to become dislodged and rain down on anyone below it by releasing a wave of electrical energy which weakens the rock and makes it fall as it crumbles. However, this is extremely location-based and needs to be done uphill of a mountain for it to work.

This technique is used against opponents who are attempting to climb up a cliff. By performing this technique, you'll cause stones and rocks to rain down on them, hindering them from climbing to the top, or at least, give them a hard time doing so. This is done by performing 3 hand seals, them by releasing a wave of electrical energy to the hill's top and its walls, you cause pieces of stones and rocks from it to dislodge that eventually avalanche down your opponent.


(Raiton: Shuurai Rappa no Jutsu) - Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Horn Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will raise their hand infront of them like a sword. It will begin glowing in a pale yellow before releasing bolts of lightning in the shape of a horn that spread outwards, allowing it to attack multiple targets.

This technique requires you to raise your hand in front of you as if it was a sword while simultaneously focusing raiton chakra onto it. You then control the raiton chakra that is focused in your hand to be released in the form of lightning bolts that together gives the shape of a horn. These bolts, which are gathered together to seem like a horn, are then sent to spread outwardly in such manner to allow you to harm multiple targets.

Ohhh ok ok, ty! Also, I had a personal question Sempai. Will you be going for Sensei one day? ^_^

__

Not sure if you wanted me to perform this one but I will do so just in case.

Izaku climbs to the nearest cliff. He then begins to manipulate his chakra and uses nature transformation to change it into lightning as he performed the necessary hand seals and crouches down with his hands opened, releasing a wave of mild electricity. The current races down the cliff, dislodging and weakening the structure, causing debris to rain down.

As the technique states, it is location based so it would be very tough to incorporate it into battle. The chances are very low, specially if you don't have access to earth release to make your own cliff or hill. If it does work and can be performed, one of the good points is that I assume it could be wide spread, and take out several people who try to climb, possibly clones or something similar like small summons.

__

Izaku rises his left hand in front of him as he keeps his hand opened and his fingers tightly pressed against each other. While doing so, he channels lightning chakra around his arm. He continues to channel it and manipulate it around his arm until the energy becomes visible, in this case pale yellow. Using shape manipulation, Izaku manipulates the energy in order to release a single bolt of lightning from his hand to pierce a tree.

Interesting technique, though I am unsure if it needs to stay active for the lightning bolts to continue or not. Are they an extension of my lightning arm? Or are they released like projectiles? If they are still attached to my energy, it could cause me harm if I was hit by a water technique, possibly creating paralysis. A neat thing about this technique is that I can attack multiple targets, however doing so will cause the technique to be weakened as well, being divided in damage accordingly to the ranks. If the bolts arent released the user could possible use the coating in order to strike in close range by combining it with taijutsu.

 

[Tsuki]

Never imagined myself as a sensei, but might apply someday and see how it goes

Nice! Regarding the second technique: there's no need for it to stay active since the lightning bolt won't be connected to you anymore after they're released from your arm. You simply focus lightning chakra onto your arm, then release the bolts. As for taijutsu implementation, I don't believe you can use the coating on your arm without releasing the bolts. However you can always release the bolts while combining it with a freeform/taijutsu attack to injure your opponent more severely or simply give them a hard time.

No need to perform the techniques anymore. Just analyse them


( Raiton: Inazuma ken Fudou ) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blades Levitation
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 15 (-5 per turn)
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will channel their lightning chakra into their sword to increase its cutting capabilities, and then levitate it in front of them. They will then multiply the sword creating two extra physical copies which are then all manipulated to spin rapidly and are controlled to fly towards and cut through the opponent/s through hand gestures. While controlling the weapons, the user cannot mold chakra for other techniques and needs to keep focus.

You take out a katana and send your lightning chakra to envelop it and then manifest it as lightning that envelops the katana by using shape manipulation. This would improve the cutting ability of the sword aswell as allowing you to levitate it in front of it with the help of the lightning that coats it. You then create two lightning duplicates of your katana next to the original one. They are then controlled by you to rapidly spin before you send them to attack your target with the help of a hand gesture. In order for this technique to keep on functioning, the user cannot perform other techniques meanwhile.


( Raiton: Denki Railanshō ) - Lightning Release: Electric Discharge Palm
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will manipulate their lightning chakra in their dominant hand generating electrical bolts of lightning around their forearm. The user will then slam their palm onto the ground causing the electrical energy to become discharged sending out bolts of lightning into the ground and around them up to 5 meters.

Somewhat similar to the technique you previously performed. This one generates the lightning bolts immediately around your forearm. You then spread them across the ground on your short range radius by slamming your palm onto the ground to discharge the lightning. This technique would generally be more beneficial for dealing against attacks or enemies that are underground or that can protrude from the ground.

Ok ty, and roger that!

Sempai I had a question. In the technique description it states that it makes physical copies. Is this similar to the shadow clone technique? And if so, would they be pure lightning as you told me, or physical with lightning coated around it?

I think its a very neat technique, not only allowing you to increase the cutting capabilities of your blade, but also clone them. You can then copy them making two copies. However the downside I see is that the technique more or less implies you have to make the sword hover and release it, so you can't really use the increased cutting in close range, by wielding the blade. Oh and speaking of which, the hovering is another neat point to include! As you have already mentioned, I cant perform other techniques while I focus on this, and I also have to feed it chakra per turn. Its surprising that I can manipulate them up to mid range, specially for the rank of the technique.

As you stated it is a similar technique, however it allows me not only to strike into the ground but also around me, releasing bolts of lightning. The downside I see is the range of the technique, which is short. I also like that you dont need hand seals to mold the chakra you just focus it around your hand and slam it against the ground like similar techniques I've learned so far.

 

[Tsuki]

It is similar to the lightning variant of shadow clones in the sense that it creates replicas of your sword, entirely made of your lightning chakra. They would seem like your normal sword, but they would not be actual swords coated with lightning.
-----------------

Gratz, we're at B-Ranks! O_O And we start with a bunch of short ranged techniques xD
Just perform, advantages and disadvantages for these 3 please.

(Raiton: Raiton no Heki ) – Lightning Release: Lightning Release Wall
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary, Defence
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user manipulates their chakra while doing the Ox hand seal and then releases it in front of him whilst holding their hands out. By doing this, the user generates a wall of lightning energy that can defend against certain techniques. The user can use this defence to shock enemy targets who attempt close range combat and deliver massive shocks to anything that comes in contact with it.

This technique allows you to generate a wall of lightning after performing the ox handseal and holding your hands out. It is not advised to keep the technique active for long and it's normally used to simply defend against an incoming attack with an attempt to shock and/or numb your opponent if they do get in contact with the wall.


(Raiton: Reijingu Sandā) - Lightning Style: Raging Thunder
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user creates a half shaped dome of lightning that can be pushed forward in a similar way to a "wave of lightning" attack. It has both paralyzing and shocking properties as well as physical momentum.

You generate a half-shaped dome of lightning in front of you that you send forth, like a wave. Although still having a short range reach, this one increases the difficulty for your opponent to evade the shock and paralysis.


(Raiton: Sandā Sāburu) - Lightning Style: Thunder Saber
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range:Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user gathers lightning chakra around his fist, generating a sphere of pure lightning around it. The user can then punch a target, unleashing the lightning in the form of a localized electrical explosion.

This one is more taijutsu-oriented and is a way to enhance some of your taijutsu attacks. The user gathers lightning chakra on one of their fists and then releases the lightning chakra outside themselves to envelop their fist. Upon landing an attack with that lightning coated fist of theirs, they'll cause a localized electrical explosion.

Ohhh I understand now, ty Sempai. And also, wow you're Grim rank, that's awesome! ^_^

1. As you stated, it requires a hand seal before performing the technique. And it can only be created up to long range, meaning it cant be released in the form of a wave of something. If the lightning is still connected to the extended hands, then its a bad idea to keep it active for long, otherwise the opponent might summon a water technique on you. Another downside is that you need to focus constantly on it to maintain it.
2. 
   
3. This one seems like the more advanced version of the previous one. One like the last one, this one doesnt require gestures or hand seals. And it doesn't need to be maintained, the user focuses on his lightning chakra and releases it in the form of a half dome wave that travels forward in order to shock and paralyze. The downside of this traveling wave is that it can't exceed past short range.
4. 
   
5. A pretty neat technique, the user gathers lightning around their fist without any other gestures,like hand seals or such to mold the chakra. He will use shape manipulation to coat their fist. Then can then use the fist to attack a target and once so, he releases the energy into an electrical explosion. I think its neat, an explosion from lightning seems quite strong and lethal, specially if you combine it with close combat. It can be used in combination with a taijutsu technique that might not require chakra to perform.

(Raiton: Ikazuchi no Kiba) - Lightning Release: Fangs of Lightning
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user will raise his hand or a weapon and send an electrical discharge into the clouds, allowing them to create lightning strikes in the desired location. The discharges are triggered right after the technique and cannot be delayed or prepared before hand but are quite fast.

You use nature transformation to gather raiton chakra within yourself then focus it onto your hand or weapon and send an electrical discharge to the clouds/sky. This causes a discharge of lightning strikes to be triggered on your desired location. A nice attack from above.

(Raiton: Shichu Shibari) – Lightning Release: Four-Pillar Bind
Rank: B
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short – Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: After the user performs the Ram → Boar → Dog → Bird → Hare hand seals, he releases his lightning chakra into the ground, using it to forcefully shape the earth into 4 big pillars (proportionate to the target area) around the target. Once they rise, they unleash a barrage of lightning bolts, currents and shocks to whatever is inside, paralyzing, shocking and damaging the target from all around.

After performing 5 handseals, you release your lightning chakra into the ground in such manner that it would push up parts of the ground and shape it into 4 earth pillars. These pillars are formed around your target and you would then use the pillar as some kind of turrets that shoots multiple lightning bolts and currents that hits whoever's inside the 4 pillar's formation.

(Raiton: Kangekiha) – Lightning Release: Wave of Inspiration
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage point: 40 (+20 to Water Technique)
Description: After doing the Rabbit → Dog → Boar → Ram → Rat hand seals, the user generates a large amount of lightning from their hands, which can then be either released in an unfocused manner or passed through conductive materials to improve the electrical power of the technique, namely in conjunction with Water Techniques. In fact, certain users have showed that its possible to, if the user has the ability to mold both Water and Lightning chakras at the same time (for example, Darui who has Storm Release), unleash this particular technique at the same time as they exhale/spit some water technique (which needs to consist of a stream of water), combining both in a seemingly consecutive move. Other ninjas will need to use a clone or an ally for the same effect.

We've been through a technique somewhat similar to this one. Wave of Inspiration's most notable use is in conjunction with water. It requires you to perform 5 handseals, and then, generate non-focused lightning from your hands. This non-focused lightning can be used to pass through conductive materials such as water, which would improve the electrical power of the technique. By combining it with water, the technique's power would increase by +20 damage points compared to its initial B-Rank power. It is mostly advised to have a clone or somebody else assist you in combining the water with lightning since majority of shinobis cannot perform this lightning technique with a water technique simultaneously.

In fact, certain users have showed that its possible to, if the user has the ability to mold both Water and Lightning chakras at the same time (for example, Darui who has Storm Release), unleash this particular technique at the same time as they exhale/spit some water technique (which needs to consist of a stream of water), combining both in a seemingly consecutive move. Other ninjas will need to use a clone or an ally for the same effect.

We've been through a technique somewhat similar to this one. Wave of Inspiration's most notable use is in conjunction with water. It requires you to perform 5 handseals, and then, generate non-focused lightning from your hands. This non-focused lightning can be used to pass through conductive materials such as water, which would improve the electrical power of the technique. By combining it with water, the technique's power would increase by +20 damage points compared to its initial B-Rank power. It is mostly advised to have a clone or somebody else assist you in combining the water with lightning since majority of shinobis cannot perform this lightning technique with a water technique simultaneously.

A nice thing about the first technique is that it doesnt need any hand seals to mold the chakra. And also, it can be used with a weapon, which can come in hand if the user's hands are occupied with one. This means that he will not have to put away or momentarily discard it to perform it.

" The discharges are triggered right after the technique and cannot be delayed or prepared before hand but are quite fast."

Didn't quite understand that part. And also, does that mean I can focus on other techniques because once triggered (sending lightning into the sky) I can't stop it?

__

A technique that needs a long sequence of hand seals to mold the chakra and perform it. Unlike the rest of the lightning techniques this one is neat because it actually manipulates the shape of the ground in order to create and rise the pillars. Not only does it release lightning but the pillars themselves can be used and taken advantage of later throughout the battle as a possible stepping stone or source of earth for techniques. If one of the pillars is compromised/destroyed, would the technique end? I would like to think maybe because the even structure is destroyed and the lightning energy wouldnt distribute evenly.

__

I can't add much to this as you have stated yourself it is very similar to a technique I've learned, and I remember quite well we went over the previous one quite a lot in terms of the strengthening process. Unlike the other one, this one requires quite a few hand seals, however it is also stronger than the previous one. As you said, it would be best to use in combination with clones to make nice water-lightning combinations.

First technique: As discharges are descending upon your target, you can proceed with another technique (preparing it, performing handseals for it, etc). However, the technique you'll be using after Fangs of Lightning would pretty much be fully performed the moment the discharges ends (or at least almost before they end). This is because the lightning discharges are rather fast since they descend upon your targeted location immediately once your raiton chakra reaches the sky/clouds.

Second technique: The remaining pillar(s) will still send lightning bolts, currents and shocks inside the initial area. So it would be better if you have an ability to destroy all pillars at once. There's also the option of evading or shielding yourself.

(Raiton: Ikazuchi no Utage) - Lightning Release: Lightning Burial ~ Banquet of Lightning
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user brings their hands together and an electrical energy will begin to crackle around them. They will then slam their hands to the ground to send an electric current racing through the earth. When the current approaches its target, it can split into multiple tendrils to attack separate targets individually.

This technique was shown being used with a sword on each hand, but the swords aren't necessary. By bringing your hands together, you release raiton chakra from then, which would cover your hands in lightning. This lightning you're keeping control over on your hands will then be used by slamming your hands on the ground to send a directed electric current through the earth. The current can later on be split onto multiple ones to attack more multiple targets.

Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user raises their hands to the air, charging lightning. He will then unleash the lightning energy at the enemy target in the form of a lightning bolt.

Simple, straight forward technique. By raising a hand and gathering raiton chakra onto it, you will then the lightning energy you've gathered in the form of a lightning bolt that is aimed at your target. The lightning would already be visible whilst your gathering it on your hand as it covers your hand before you form it to a lightning bolt.

Description: The user generates lightning-based chakra between his/her palms forming what appears to be a lightning "rope". The user can then whip that lightning around as if its a true whip, hitting his target.

This techniques creates a some sort of lightning whip by releasing raiton chakra from both of your hands and shape manipulate it to look like one that has each end connected to one of your palms. Once created, you can use it just like one would use a normal whip.

Question about the previous pillar technique: Would the pillars themselves be classified as earth release? Weakness wise, are rankless earth or as "lightning" earth? Also, if I destroyed one of the pillars am I correct to assume if I jumped into the direction of the destroyed pillars, the other lightning bolts wouldnt reach that area?

What I really like about the first one is the potential range that it can reach to. Without the need of hand seals, the user begins to channel chakra and slam it on the ground or the surface he is standing on in order to release a current to the target. Not only is the current aimed to the target, the user is able to shape manipulate it further in order to strike several targets, for example if the opponent had clones or summons that began to circle around me. The only issue is, the more tendrils that are made, the weaker the technique becomes because the damage would be divided equally.

A projectile based technique that is not created slowly per say but it does require a step to be created, and that is to have the user raise his hand, instead of simply thrusting it forward from the start. This will give the target a window of time to notice the creation of the technique as lightning begins to form around the raised hand. Like most projectile techniques, it's range is sort of limited and it reaches up to mid range. Although that is not necessarily a down side as most of the time the combatants start out on that range.

A technique that reminds me of a water technique I've learned. Essentially you make a rope or whip of lightning to either bind your target while shocking him or dealing straight damage to them. Not only can the whip be used to attack directly but it can also be used to electrocute a source of water the target may be standing on.

Also, if I destroyed one of the pillars am I correct to assume if I jumped into the direction of the destroyed pillars, the other lightning bolts wouldnt reach that area?

Hmm... to be honest, I am not sure how to answer this, so better ask this to someone else. From the way the technique is described, I'd say the earth pillars, in themselves, do not really hold any "ranked" power behind them as it is basically the lightning that forces them to erupt and makes them take this specific shape of pillars. You could say it's the lightning that surrounds the pillars and is inside them that forces them up, which is why this technique should be fully treated as a lightning technique in terms of S/W. In the end, in order to defend against the bolts of lightning, you simply deal with them the same way as with most projectile-type and stream-type lightning jutsu. Better double check about the pillars with someone else if you still insist on breaking them, sorry.

As for the other question, you'd still need to use an actual technique that allows you to evade the area affected by lightning. So it would be ideal to use some type of technique that simultaneously shields you whilst transporting/launching you across the terrain, outside of the square-ish formation of the pillars, without necessarily breaking one of the pillars.

(Raiton: Raijū Hashiri no Jutsu) - Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Running Technique
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user channels his lighting chakra to his dominant hand and then radiates it out making it a hound shaped stream of lighting which stays attached to the users hand through a bolt of lighting and rampages towards his target.

This technique allows you to release a hound shaped stream of lightning from your dominant that then rampages towards your opponent. In order to keep this technique active, you need to constantly fuel it with chakra through the stream of lightning that link your dominant hand to the hound.

Damage Points: 40
Description: The user emits a spear of lightning from their mouth. The spear can then split apart to strike multiple enemies.

Straight forward. You concentrate lightning chakra inside your mouth to then release a focused spear of lightning, which you can further manipulate to split onto multiple spears in order to attack multiple enemies.

(Raiton: Raiton Kage Bunshin) - Lightning Release: Lightning Shadow Clone
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: User creates a Shadow Clone of himself but made from lighting chakra. When the clone gets hit he will return to its previous state of pure lighting chakra. The clone has a physical substance and therefor is able to use ninjutsu and taijutsu techniques as well as he has all the normal moves the user has.
Note: Can only use lightning based techniques up to B rank.

You create a clone identical to yourself and with physical substance right next to you who can perform up to B-Rank lightning and can also perform ninjutsu aswell as taijutsu technique. If the clone is hit with a strong attack to make him/her disappear then the clone would appear to return to his state of pure lightning chakra before dissipating such as in this following image:

Okay, understood ty Senpai ^_^

As you stated, this allows me to make a hound of lightning. The issue I see is that it has to stay connected to me via lightning, in some cases it might be good because I can control it easier, however this causes me to be in a vulnerable position if I want to perform other body movements that might force me to manipulate the hound elsewhere by accident. Another thing as you said is that this technique needs constant manipulation, and since the hound runs I take it the speed in which it travels isn't as fast as a projectile of lightning. This will obviously give the target ample time to defend or think of a counter. A good thing I see is if my target is standing or traveling on water, the hound could be controlled so that it reaches the source in order to electrocute it.

A very simply technique as you have stated. A projectile of lightning that I assume travels quite fast, at least faster than the hound. The technique has the ability to split into multiple smaller projectiles in order to strike more targets, however that also means that it will grow weaker and be easier to defend against. The range of the technique is a plus, being able to travel up to long range, if carefully used it could even catch opponents that might change ranges to avoid other techniques in the meantime.

I've learned the shadow clone technique so I know more or less how this technique works. A neat trick is that the clone would release shocking energy once dispersed. Though, I would only use this technique if I focused my fighting style on lightning because the clone, unlike the regular shadow one, only specializes in using lightning which is also restricted in power, as well as some other basics. The best point I would see is the after shock if the clone is used properly. One might even say is a more strategical version of the explosion shadow clone that can only use ninjutsu and explode into a chakra blast.
