OOC: It's fine^^OOC: xd forgive me, but i'm not with my laptop.
Kefa: okay lemme try this new tech, though it seems difficult
*kefa pushes his left hand up, spreading his fingers wide apart while he starts building his lightning chakra, kefa starts to channel the chakra being built to his left hand while releasing it towards the sky, kefa releases alot of chakra so its very visible to his sensei eyes, the chakra that kefa released gets infused with a cloud turning the cloud into a thunder cloud, kefa makes the cloud moves till its above the tree that his sensei pointed at(since his chakra is infused with it, he has free will of the cloud), kefa then pulls his left hand down his shoulder level, this acts as a command making the thunder cloud to release a lightning attack on the tree, the tree gets striked and starts to burn once the strike/attack was over*
strong points
* - the user makes strikes at desired location, making the target to not be sure of where its coming from -
* - for someone who doesnt know this tech, that someone would think the user missed, giving an opening chance to strike -
weak points
* - for someone who knows this tech, the user is given away by the raising of his hand and also releasing chakra which IS visible -
* - it can be easily dodged, though the user makes the strike happen wherever he/she wants, one thing is for sure the attack come from directly above the target so the target will use a jutsu to move away from there -
* - while releasing chakra into the air, the opponent can take advantage of this and attack to stop the jutsu -
combinations and strategies
use a jutsu that will immobilize the target, probably a water prison or an earth prison, a water prison will be much more effective because it'll conduct the electricity, an earth prison is also good cause since its earth the lightning attack will pass through, having the lightning to still hit its target, a fire jutsu/wind jutsu as a distraction while the lightning comes from above
ways to counter
i say make a clone who will push the original out of the way, a water jutsu that makes the user to ride on it, which carries the user away from his/her former position where the lightning strike will hit and towards the opponent(user of the lightning tech), hidding like a mole tech(this i'm not sure off), a wind jutsu towards the incoming lightning attack to neutralize it. Dont know about fire
Make sure that if you want to do what you just described it has to be the opponent's second move. If its his first jutsu then you are breaking the time-frame by not even allowing his technique to be created. The technique is actually formed when the lightning is released from the clouds. It would be the same as attacking someone who is channeling earth chakra into the ground to rise spikes, it just wouldn't be according to the time-frame.* - while releasing chakra into the air, the opponent can take advantage of this and attack to stop the jutsu -
The water riding technique is good. As for the user of the lightning being harmed, that is highly unlikely. The reason why I say this, is because once the opponent chooses a striking location he can't change it, so its highly unlikely that the opponent would want to harm himself. As far as hiding like a mole goes, you have to be sure to get away from the technique and not go straight down into the ground. By that I mean is, go into the ground and travel in any other direction. Else the lightning will partially pierce the ground and reach you.say make a clone who will push the original out of the way, a water jutsu that makes the user to ride on it, which carries the user away from his/her former position where the lightning strike will hit and towards the opponent(user of the lightning tech), hidding like a mole tech(this i'm not sure off), a wind jutsu towards the incoming lightning attack to neutralize it. Dont know about fire
As far as fire goes, they both are intangible elements so they would go through each other.
