(Chō Biburāto Raitontō) - Super Vibrating Lightning Release Sword
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A (+15 to kenjutsu and standard attacks)
Description: The user channels their lightning chakra into a blade, increasing its vibrating frequency and giving it more cutting power than standard wind techniques.
This technique allows you to enhance the cutting power of your sword by channeling lightning chakra into its blade and increasing its vibrating frequency. This makes both your freeform kenjutsu moves and actual kenjutsu techniques to deliver more damage as they can more easily slice through objects and people. According to the technique's description, the cutting power even surpasses that of wind techniques, which are known for their sharpness.
(Raiton: Dai Denki hōden no Jutsu ) - Lightning Release: Large Electrical Discharge Technique
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
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.
With the performance of the a hand seal, you send raiton chakra to the sky by rising your hands up. Once your raiton chakra reaches the sky/clouds, it'll create an electrical discharge that descends on your target, shocking them once the discharge hits them. Since it is not a frontal attack, it's a nice technique to use if you want to lower the chances of your opponent remaining offensive and rather force them into being defensive. As you've probably noticed, this technique is quite similar to Lightning Release: Fangs of Lightning although the difference here seems to be that there's only a single electrical discharge. Since there's only one, the electrical discharge would be larger in this one and the damage would be more concentrated.
(Raiton: Shuriken Seigyo no Jutsu) - Lightning Release: Shuriken Control Technique
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
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.
This jutsu uses two large shurikens that you enhance with raiton chakra by channeling your chakra onto them. As you throw them, you leave an electrical cable connected between yourself and the shurikens that is made by your raiton chakra. Once you pin down your opponent, you keep on sending raiton chakra from yourself, through the electrical cable and onto the opponent's body through medium of the shurikens pinned on him/her. This paralyses the target and hinders them from moving to a certain extent. According to its description, this jutsu seems to focus on keeping your opponent in place (like capturing them or something) rather than directly kill them so pinning down non-vital parts of their body, such as arms/legs, is advised, if you want to use it for the purpose of keeping them in place. If not, then you're always free to aim for their vitals.

(Chō Biburāto Raitontō) - Super Vibrating Lightning Release Sword
Pretty standard technique not much I could say about it. What I can point out is that it doesn't require any gestures or hand seals to perform and it can be used on any bladed objects so long as the user has physical contact with it and is within short range of him. I am only wondering if the technique is sustained so long as the user fuels it or does it only last one turn? Since no additional chakra is drained, I am leaning towards a no.
(Raiton: Dai Denki hōden no Jutsu ) - Lightning Release: Large Electrical Discharge Technique
Yeah as you stated it is very similar to the original technique Ive learned but this one be slightly larger along with the damage being more concentrated. Which you also noted down, Im sorry I couldn't think of much for this similar technique that you already didn't point out.
(Raiton: Shuriken Seigyo no Jutsu) - Lightning Release: Shuriken Control Technique
Although it seems somewhat neat, this technique requires a large shuriken which most shinobi don't carry. At least it does give you the secondary option of using a windmill shuriken which is more compact as it can be folded and put away on the backpack. This technique leaves an electrical cable attached to the shuriken up to mid range, however the user has to keep focus to keep the concentration on the technique, this means he cant mold other techniques that require chakra. If it strikes it has the potential of paralyzing the target, and after he escapes that area will be numb for an additional turn.
Don't worry, senpai is a good boy :hypertobi:

Super Vibrating Lightning Release Sword would only last for one turn and would only be sustained so long as you keep fueling it with lightning chakra.
( 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.
A technique where you direct your hand to face your desired target and release a lightning current aimed at them, although the range it can reach is rather limited. This technique would hardly kill an opponent and mainly serves the purpose of damaging and knocking away your target(s). The appearance of this technique is similar to Kakuzu's Lightning Release: False Darkness , but keep it mind that Lightning Release: Thunderbolt Flash is much weaker, smaller and can only reach short range compared to Kakuzu's technique.
( 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 technique allows you to form a barrier-like shield around yourself which can remain active for up to 3 turns. The shield can be destroyed earlier by your opponent or can be removed at the user's will. While the shield is active, you can only use other lightning techniques or taijutsu techniques. Other than being a defensive barrier, it can be used offensively by having the user direct all of its lightning energy in the direction they wish, meaning that you'll remove the shield from around yourself and instead use it to attack.

( 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 continous rain of lightning bolts shocking any enemy within the radius of the attack.
Note: Lasts only the turn in which its used.
By using your lightning chakra to create a condensed orb of lightning in front of you, you then release it to the air above. While the orb is above you for several seconds, you control it to release a continuous rain of lightning bolts that falls all around your location.

By using your lightning chakra to create a condensed orb of lightning in front of you, you then release it to the air above. While the orb is above you for several seconds, you control it to release a continuous rain of lightning bolts that falls all around your location.
They only special trait this ability has is probably that the lightning is purple, in some cases maybe the shinobi will think it is more harmful? Though that is highly unlikely. Its one of the plenty shocking lightning technique, however this one has the potency to push back the target, while only being able to release up to short range.
A very neat technique if you specialize or enjoy using lightning, a shield that allows you to protect yourself while also using other techniques. Considering it's nature of having to maintain it, it is a huge bonus that you can perform other techniques even if you are limited a bit. Speaking of lasting, three turns like a nice perk if you specialize in lightning as I mentioned before. Not only can it defend it but the target will be shocked if they touch it and lastly, you can choose to release it outward like an energy attack as well, although limited in range it is still a good perk to have for the technique.
A neat technique that can be used to defend or attack several enemies or clones that may be trying to surround or flank you. Possible an earth technique that approaches from several places at once, perhaps spikes as well. Though the drawback is the few seconds part, they might take advantage of that so you really have to be careful when using this technique in battle.
( Raiton: Raisogekishin ) - Lightning Release: Lightning Rat Violent Quake

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.
Simple, yet rather powerful. After performing the required 4 handseals, you use nature manipulation to generate lightning chakra which you then release outside as you use shape manipulation to form them into lightning disks. These are quite destructive and are sent towards the targets at great speed.

(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
The fastest way to a girl's heart... yeah, that's right: CHIDORI! U_U This technique was developed by Kakashi and then taught to Sasuke who would develop several other lightning techniques based on it later on. Chidori requires a long set of handseals if you yet haven't completed/mastered lightning, so you'll have to perform all the handseals, for now. You focus a significant amount of lightning chakra onto one of your hands after performing the required handseals and release it in the form of concentrated lightning that you keep around your hand. Once you've formed your chidori, you can charge forward and thrusts the Chidori into the target. This produces significant of damage that is usually fatal.

(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
Chidori Nagashi generates non-focused electricity from one's body. This technique has 2 different ways of usage. The first method is by releasing a full chakra surge from your body, causing the non-focused lightning to expand to your short range radius and numb/paralyze whoever within the technique's range. The first way of usage can potentially be used to release yourself from an illusion that is 1 rank lower (meaning B-Rank and below genjutsu). The second way of usage is by concentrating the non-focused lightning onto an object, most commonly a weapon such as a sword by sending the chakra through one of your hands to said object. With the second way of usage, you cannot achieve a full body surge and thus cannot escape from genjutsu by using it that way.

Although it requires a few hand seals it seems like a neat lightning technique as it uses a lot of shape manipulation to the point of making thin disks of lightning that can be sent at "great speeds" so possibly a decently fast technique. I am inclined to say that the disk's trajectory could be set where they could come from several angles, which would benefit the user but in turn divide the strength instead of sending them all in the same general direction.
(Raiton: Chidori) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds
Haha that was a good one xD
As you stated yourself until I master lightning I will have to perform a lot of hand seals, and since its a close combat technique I need to set it up where I can do the seals before getting too close to my target. Needless to say the raw power of this technique is great, at least for piercing, not in the sense of actual large scale destruction. As you stated it is the founding technique for the rest of the various that have been created by sasuke or kakashi (the one he cut lightning with raikiri.)
(Raiton: Chidori Nagashi) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds Current
Would the ground itself count as a medium to release the ranged version of the nagashi?
Overall nice technique, somewhat anyways. Its neat that it doesnt need hand seals, it can be used to release from genjutsu as you stated yourself, it might be one of the only full body surge techniques in the lightning category which is nice for lightning users, not for me! hehe. It has two usages which you stated as well, if I were to use it which I most likely wont', it would be channeling through a weapon or to destroy wooden/low ranking earth, perhaps canceling the chakra of doton.
According to the jutsu description, the ground can be used as a medium to make it reach mid range. Although if you use it like that, you won't benefit from the full body surge.
(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 technique allows you to create a triangular-shaped bolt of lightning that travels on ground from your location (were you placed your hand on the ground) to your target's location. As it travels, the bolt of lightning can destroy most things on its path.
(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.
This technique was used by Sasuke against Deidara's clay creatures to render them useless. One Thousand Birds Needles serves quite well against multiple targets or for attacking multiple small objects. Since it initially was a Chidori, it gives the same paralyzing effect as Chidori does.

(Raiton: Sanda Appu) – Lightning Release: Thunder Up
Rank: A
Type: Offence
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user concentrates a lot of lightning chakra into their hand, compressing it into a ball of lightning energy. The user can then hurl it at the enemy or trust it forward in a melee attack. Once the ball hits the target, it expands into a massive lightning explosion.
A compressed ball of lightning that explodes upon contact with whatever it hits. It can be thrusted at your desired target (up to mid-range reach) to cause a massive lightning explosion. It can also be used for close quarters by directly hitting it on the target. In which case, you will control it to explode at your target.
According to the jutsu description, the ground can be used as a medium to make it reach mid range. Although if you use it like that, you won't benefit from the full body surge.
This technique allows you to create a triangular-shaped bolt of lightning that travels on ground from your location (were you placed your hand on the ground) to your target's location. As it travels, the bolt of lightning can destroy most things on its path.

It can also be used for close quarters by directly hitting it on the target. In which case, you will control it to explode at your target.
A nice technique that cuts through the ground as it travels, this means it can be used to negate doton chakra easier or more forcefully, as well as potentially reach some unknown variants in the battlefield that are close to the surface. It only reaches up to mid range but has the potential to branch off into attacks, and it requires seals for activation like most techniques.
(Raiton: Chidori Senbon) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds Needle
I assume that maybe only the part stuck is paralyzed? Or perhaps the whole body as it surges through? Chidori Senbon is a nice lightning technique because it uses a lot of shape manipulation in the sense of creating a large quantity of small senbon as opposed to releasing lightning bolts like a lot of techniques. It has a nice ability of being release wide spread as you control the release with your hand swing which is also nice.
Would I need to post the jutsu for the chidori and use its corresponding hand seals for activation?
(Raiton: Sanda Appu) – Lightning Release: Thunder Up
Although it may seem similar to other techniques Ive learned, what I like about this one specially is that it can not only reach up to mid range but if I were to use it in close combat the explosion of lightning would be released in a way that wouldnt harm me as it detonates which is also nice, considering the ball is on my palm. It also doesnt require any hand seals which makes it ideal for using in close combat if the need is required.
Yes, I would say only the limbs that got hit by the needles would be paralyzed/numbed due to the needles being small in size. However if the released needles land at your target's entire side of their body (ex: if they're facing you, the front side) then the amount of needles would be enough to numb their entire body. Though the technique is more practical to use against multiple small targets, as used by Sasuke to negate Deidara's small spiders' explosive ability (C1 clay).
There is no need to post the original Chidori technique and it also wouldn't cost you an extra move from your three moves per turn. No need to post chidori for the other techniques that derives from chidori either. You simply post the chidori variant and it counts as a single move. Only exception is the lightning technique Kirin, which we'll look more into once we reach S-Ranks.
(Raiton: Jūrokuchū Shibari) – Lightning Release: Sixteen-Pillar Bind
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short – Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
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.
You perform the required handseals and send lightning chakra under the ground, controlling it to forcefully cause 16 pillars of earth to erupt. These pillars, together, form into a cubic oven that traps your target inside. Similarly to its weaker version Four Pillar Bind, this technique can also release lightning at the trapped targets who are inside the cube. (Just a personal note, I've seen people use it merely for trapping their target and others additionally released lightning in a similar fashion as in Four Pillar Bind. Seen that in tests and tournaments and mods didn't comment against any of these 2 methods of usage.)

(Raiton: Chidori Eiso) - Lightning Release Chidori Sharp Spear
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
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.
You start off by making a Chidori that you then extend into a blade (which has a mid range reach) by using shape manipulation. Once the blade pierces through your target, you can split it up (inside your target) so that multiple blades exits the target you hit from multiple places, causing more severe damage. Same as other Chidori techniques, this one can cause paralysis but also has the ability to pierce through shinobi and objects.

(Raiton: Rairyu no Tatsumaki) - Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon Tornado
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user forms a whirling vortex of electricity around themselves. The vortex will take on the form of a dragon’s head and will grow to then shoot forward and cover the area in front of them. Even if the attack doesn't directly connect with his foe, the lightning can jump from the vortex to hit a nearby target.
A quite useful technique where you surround yourself by a whirling vortex of electricity. After forming the vortex, you use shape manipulation to changed its shape, making the tip of the vortex to seem like the head of a dragon. You then shoot that dragon's head forward. The vortex can also have its lightning jump from the vortex to hit a closeby target.
A stronger version of the the technique I have already learned. Unlike the parent technique, this one allows the user to basically create an entire prison of pillars that dont allow them to escape by simply changing locations or blowing themselves away. This technique forces the target to try and destroy the cubic prison or avoid the lightning by any means necessary. One could take advantage of the opening that will be left but that also means the user will likely expect something to come out of there as well. This technique can also be used up to long range which is a nice addition to the technique.
Not sure if you answered it or not, if you did I'm sorry Senpai. I was wondering before, for chidori variants do I need to perform the corresponding hand seals? I know I won't have to post the technique but should I follow the same method, for regular users that mastered lightning, Special Saskue bios or lightning specialist? Or should I assume the chidori simply forms with no need of hand seals, later to be manipulated into the spear?
A nice technique, I actually like it quite a lot and the expanding into spikes of sorts is a really awesome addition to the technique after you've pierced into something. It actually gives it more versatility when facing against solid objects like earth release, because piercing is very narrow, the expansion of "spikes" would allow it to spread the damage more, and obviously on a target would be lethal to say the least. It extends to mid range which is a huge thing, since the lightning is linked to your arm. This type of technique would require constant manipulation of the chakra to maintain it activated.
(Raiton: Rairyu no Tatsumaki) - Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon Tornado
This seems like a very nice technique to not only defend but attack at the same time as the user is in the eye of the vortex and the head of the dragon jumps and extends to attack a nearby target, up to long range even. This technique reminds me of wind release, but deadlier against earth release as the electricity would shred and crumble it away. For it's rank, the fact that it doesn't require hand seals is quite a plus, allowing the user to use it more freely and faster.
Well done. Regarding your question, the chidori "core" simply forms with no need of hand seals, later to be manipulated into the spear. Same goes for other chidori variants, no hand seals are required (unless they directly state in their own description that they requires hand seals).

Description: After doing the Rabbit → Rat → Horse → Ram hand seals, the user will slam his hand on the ground and release into it a massive amounts of lightning chakra which will then pool beneath his opponent before releasing itself into a gigantic column of lightning which shocks anything caught above it. The technique can affect a bigger or smaller area depending on the users will.
A nice technique. After performance of 4 hand seals, you slam your hand onto the ground to send a significantly large amount of raiton chakra that you control to gather beneath your opponent. Once you've decided the size of the area you wish to affect around your opponent, you cause this lightning to pool beneath them and then cause it to burst upwards in the form of a very high column of lightning. This lightning gives a shocking effect to whatever's inside the affected area.

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.
S-Ranks, here we go! A powerful and fast technique that you can release either from your hands or mouth. After performing one hand seal, you shoot lightning in the form of a spear that travels at great speeds once released. The lightning spear can be controlled to branch out into multiple spears to hit multiple targets.

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.
As it says in the description, it is a stronger version of Chidori. More chakra is used and more chakra control is required to enhance and concentrate the initial Chidori in order to create a Raikiri. If you have a Kakashi bio, then he can use it without the performance of any hand seals and can apply it to a kunai to then throw it up to long range distance.
It requires a few hand seals to perform as well as slamming the hands on the ground which. Unlike other lightning techniques this one travels through the ground in the form of.. chakra/energy? And then is manipulated beneath the target area as a pool of lightning that shoots upwards and damagers everything around the perimeter. It can only be used up to mid range, which is more or less understandable considering the type of technique it is.
How big could the damage area be?
(Raiton: Gian) - Lightning Style: False Darkness
A nice technique for it's rank. Unlike some I have learned this one only needs a single hand seal and it can even reach up to long range. Not only that, but according to the statistics, it travels very fast. It has two methods of release, through the hands or the mouth and also has the ability to split into individual attacks at the cost of losing power.
Without having access to a Kakashi biography, there isn't much I can point out about this technique besides the fact that it is a stronger and more condensed version than the regular chidori. If I were to acquire a Kakashi bio (Which I am not ) it would be very beneficial because you won't require any seals to perform and it could be applied to projectiles so they travel over a long distance, which is a plus as well, long range seems awesome for it.
When you slam your hand for Telegram Flash, it actually appears in

form. Sorry couldn't find a short clip showing the jutsu in its entirety, but in the anime, the lightning "disappears" underground once the users slams their hand, and the lightning then suddenly erupts from the ground surface the opponent is standing on. Note that before it erupts into a pillar of lightning, the lightning chakra pools just above ground surface so it doesn't actually destroy the ground underneath the target.
The damage area of Telegram Flash must be within your mid-range distance. So any size of affected area that doesn't go beyond mid-range is allowed.

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.
You basically perform Raikiri then split it in two, covering each one of your hands then use it for a melee attack. It contains piercing damage and electrifies whoever gets struck by it... x__x
(Raiton: Kirin) - Lightning Release: Kirin
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.
Quite a complex jutsu to prepare but will serve you quite well if you manage to properly perform it. Theoretically, in order to use Kirin, you must have shot a B-Rank or above fire technique that has a Long range reach and aimed towards the sky in your previous turn. This is in order to gather thunderclouds by heating the atmosphere. Once one turn has passed, you make a Chidori in one of your hands (you don't perform the hand seals) and use it to tame the natural lightning in the thunderclouds, which you immediately control to descend upon your opponent. Unlike lightning made of chakra, natural lightning is much faster and because of that, the one targeted can only save themselves by using a time/space technique or by using an absolute defense. Since you also need Chidori in order to perform Kirin then you'll have to spend 2 of your 3 moves per turn (you post both Chidori and Kirin), however both of these would be spent on the timeframe of a single technique. Discussions about the technique Kirin has repeatedly been brought up in the RP Q&A thread... I think there's a link to a question related to Kirin in the first page of the thread aswell.
(Raiton: Chidori Jinrai) – Lightning Release: 1000 birds ThunderClap.
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.
You create a chidori in each of your hands then clap your hands together and by using shape manipulation you create a large thunderbolt in front of you. The thunderbolt is shot at your target and is powerful enough to create a giant crater, if aimed at the ground.
Will this require any hand seals, or should we follow what it says on the technique? Essentially, this technique is pretty much a dual chidori. Since the raikiri is a stronger version of chidori (Making it S rank), splitting the raikiri into two, it would divide it's power to two A'ranks, so two "chidori" on your hands with equal power. The rest I can't really say anything as it's pretty much the same as the other versions.
(Raiton: Kirin) - Lightning Release: Kirin
Someone tried to use this against me in one of my recent fights! :stfu:
A double edged sword, although powerful, if your target has clones or allies, he could potentially make a chidori before you and take control of the lightning, at least that's what I've heard? As the lightning is natural and such. Though that means the user would have to be stopped before the chidori is made. If the user is able to use the technique, what is considered an absolute defense? Excluding space time. Besides that, I dont have many things to point out, it is a step up technique that requires a turn prior before using it. It also requires the use of the chidori, so spending two moves. Considering how powerful it is, the restrictions for use are understandable.
Similar to the splitting raikiri technique at least in the sense that you coat both hands with lightning. If the hands have to be guarded against earth release the user can create the chidori to defend and then join them together to release the bolt, weakened most likely if used to defend prior. Although it seems like an ordinary bolt, what I like is the blast radius after it strikes the ground, which is way more than the false darkness I learned earlier. The blast is so large that it cant be used in short range of the target or the user would be caught.
It requires the same Ox → Rabbit → Monkey hand seals as the original Raikiri, unless you have a Kakashi bio (though you'll probably never have him xD).
Lightning Release: Kirin
One does not simply... use Kirin against Moofy u__u
Thought I might aswell quote what Scorps said about Kirin in one of the RP Q&A thread discussions.
Just to correct, it depends. Lets say I want to use Kirin and I'm fighting....Howard.
Turn 1 Move X-I use fire technique towards the sky
Move Y-Howard sends Kunai my way (ofc he wouldn't do that but entertain me for the sake of simplicity)
Turn 2 Move Z-I raise my hand with Chidori (posting the technique) after defending from the Kunai with my own and bring it down, triggering kirin as I gain control over the natural electricity in the air above us (posting the technique).
Move W-Howard defends, is killed, wtv.
Now, this is the normal time frame of Kirin use.
If howard wants to use that Electricity for his own Kirin, he can't do it in the Y move. He needs to do it in the W move. Why? A turn needs to pass and a turn is made up of 2 moves. Only when you're in the second turn and in your move, can you do that. Only will it, for your time frame, have passed the full turn.
So basically, unless your enemy is prevented, unless he makes a mistake or soemthing, its highly unlikely that you can achieve using the conditions he used as your own.
Dunno if this will help but I can't explain it differently. Time frame:
Turn A Move 1 - Player XPTO -Tech Y
-Tech W
-Tech Z Move 2 - Player AZRT -Tech F
-Tech G
-Tech T
Turn B Move 3 - Player XPTO -Tech P
-Tech O
-Tech S Move 4 - Player AZRT
-Tech L
-Tech K
-Tech Q
If all techniques happen, the time frame of this fight would be, technique wise for each turn:
Y,F,W,G,Z,T
P,L,O,K,S,Q
This is the basic of basic time frames of our RP.
Kirin is a special technique in which you need to spend a move to set it up through the use of a Fire technique. Imagine that the player XPTO uses the Fire technique on tech Y. For him, the full turn will only be set in his tech P. For his opponent, only on tech L will the full turn be set. Time stamps are set with each successfull interchange of 2 techniques, one for each side.
If player AZRT uses the Fire on tech F, Player XPTO cannot take advantage of it in his tech P, O or S. Only in a theoritical Turn C, in his first tech of that move.
This is, ofc, assuming no moves are interrupted but thats a bigger question.
What is considered an absolute defense? The way I understand it, an "absolute defense" is a defensive technique that materializes/appears and shields you merely by you "willing" it to appear: instantly, without the need of hand seals nor hand gestures and has to materialize/appear at a speed that can be considered as "instant". Of course, in Kirin's case, we should in addition to that take into consideration the rank and damage points of Kirin. To be honest, I'd like you to double check this question with someone of better knowledge since I might not have explained it well or was maybe mistaken.

(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
With the usage of your lightning chakra, you perform 4 handseals and release that chakra from your entire body in the form of a flash that'll blind whoever's staring at you. The flash can serve to be used in conjunction with a genjutsu, preferably one that alters your target's perception of what's happening in their surrounding. If you choose to use a genjutsu in conjunction with it, then the flash would allow your opponent to be placed under genjutsu with a greater difficulty for them noticing it.

(Raiton: Chidori Raimei) - Lightning Style: 1000 Birds Thunderstorm
Rank: S
Type: Attack

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.
Once you cover your hand with a massive chidori, you point your palm towards your targets and unleash the lightning chakra you've gathered. This creates a massive blast that can pretty much cover your line of sight and directed at your target(s).

( 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.
This technique can only be used if you have a shadow clone nearby. Both you and your clone create a Lightning Cutter on that hand which is closer to the other and then manipulate the lightning chakra to create a some sort of chain that connects between the both of your Lightning Cutters. You and your clone can then run past shinobi or objects and by making them pass between you and your clone, you'll be able to easily slice through them by using the chain-like lightning beam connected between both of you.

( 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.
You create a Chidori in one of your hands and rush to your opponent where you strike him/her with this Chidori. The moment your strike connects, you use shape manipulate to extend this Chidori to a lightning spear that pierces and pushes them away at a rather great speed. Finally, you control the chakra in your lightning spear to generate a powerful electric explosion at the spear's end. This leave your opponent falling back to the ground.
That made it more clear, as for the absolute defense I will see if I can get someone later on, ty! And yes, the chances of me making a Kakashi Bio are very very low! xd
(Raigen Raikochu) – Lightning Illusion Flash of Lightning Pillar
Pretty simple technique, its a large scaled flash, the good thing is the opponent can't simply ignore it or look away, since its a technique that have to use a technique themselves to avoid the effects of the blinding light, at least I assume so. A thing I dislike is that it requires so many hand seals, but at least it reaches up to long range and a genjutsu can be incorporated into the technique.
I will ask one final time hehe, sorry. I will assume that this technique requires the hand seals for chidori? And all other variations excluding, something like Chidori Senbon which we already went over?
Clear cut technique, it is a stronger and more widespread version of chidori. In fact, its not a stronger version per say, because the user isnt using it to pierce, it is using the foundation of chidori to release a large frontal blast that spreads outwards up to 120 degrees and reaches only up to mid range.
One of the downsides of this technique although it is pretty much required, is that the user needs a shadow clone to perform. (Can summons be used?) and another is that the users have to stay up to mid range from each other, which taking into account the nature of the technique, isnt so bad. I like the fact that the chaining link has cutting properties. The issue I see is that it cant be used as a surprise attack. Meaning, the clones or user cant be running from afar to then connect their attacks. They have to connect and split them while they are near each other.
Am I safe to assume this move is possibly divided in half, strength wise? A rank damage produced by the striking chidori while another A ranked damage by the spear technique? This kind of made me realize the division of power may be flawed in some cases xD. If I split up an S rank in two attacks, they both are A ranked each correct? That means they each hold the damage points of A ranks, no? So if they both individual strike, it means 60 + 60 instead of 80. Though, I know thats incorrect, they would say its 80, because well.. thats the damage of the S rank used! But what if, you defended from one of the split up techniques (A ranks) and the other one hit you, would it cause 60 damage? I think I may be confusing you ahaha.
Anyways back to the technique, I think its neat in the sense that it uses what Ive already learned in a cool manner. Extending a chidori spear to lift my target and then have it explode.
Lightning Style: 1000 Birds Thunderstorm: No hand seals are required for chidori variants. For this jutsu, you simply make a chidori in your hand without performing any hand seals.
Lightning Release: Lightning Chain: Yes, if the animal you've summoned is capable of performing this technique (commonly an animal summon which specializes in lightning) then you can use that summoning animal to help you out performing this jutsu. When the jutsu is made, you and your clone (or summon) do not need to make direct contact with eachother's hands. In the anime it was shown that Kakashi and his clone formed the chain between eachother's chidoris while within short range from one another.

, you should counter the jutsu as a whole. In tip #47, he speaks of a technique that affects a large area, it's not the case in our technique but you can basically think of our technique as a stream type since you continuously channel chakra onto it. So you need to treat it as an S-Rank regardless of which phase of the jutsu you're countering it. Am a bit tired as I'm typing this so not sure if I completely made sense x__x Basically, just treat it as an S-Rank no matter what.
