You should know my expectations.
___________
Raiton: Jibashi) - Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30 (+5 if used in conjunction with a water jutsu)
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.
Okay a very simple technique, the user will send a wave of raiton energy from their hands towards the opponent. Depending on how the user uses the technique it can be a stream or a projectile technique. Now it is very simply nothing much to it, its straightforward and moves normal speed. Its best to use with a water technique to give it a more potential attack. Its fast to perform as well. I recommend using this as a projectile technique so you can send one attack after the other to make it harder on the opponent. Now due to it being a straightforward technique evasion is simple as well as blocking. You can use a wind technique to negate. Also with lightning properties if contacted with it, the opponent will be shocked.
(Raiton: Raikyu) - Lightning Release: Lightning Ball
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: By gathering chakra in their hands, the user can create a ball of electrical energy and launch it at the enemy.
The user will gather lightning on the palm of their hand, condense it into a electrical ball of energy. The user will then proceed to throw it towards the opponent. It travels very fast to an opponent, its a projectile and its fast to make. You can aim it anywhere as well as use it in combo attacks. A very simple and straightforward technique you can easily just evade or overpower it.
(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.
I like this technique, was my first ever favorite. Now its very fast to perform and set up. This jutsu when active stays active for more then one turn unless already used to block an attack or attack an opponent when in range. Also this gives you a serious advantage in short range battle. Especially if used correctly when you get in range, set it up and take the fight head on. A huge downfall is you are completely open for water attacks, one hit of water and you will be shocked better, its easy for an opponent to figure it out as well since the lightning is visible and you can hear the cracking of lightning, use with caution.

Perform the technique: The user starts by performing the required hand seals, Boar β Ram β Snake β Horse β Dragon, and gathering chakra in their hands. They then change the nature of their chakra into Lightning by picturing their chakra vibrating at a high frequency. From there they have the choice to freely manipulate the chakra to either discharge a small amount of Lightning to a short ranged, but wide scaled wave of electrical chakra.
Creative uses/strengths: Having the ability to freely control the intensity/ concentration of energy opens the user up to many different uses. The most basic of which are blasting through Doton techniques or natural earthen formations like stalactites in caves (causing them to fall on the enemy), shocking/ paralyzing targets, forcing the enemy into another technique you create (aka misleading or redirecting them into another technique) and otherwise just flat out attacking the enemy. The strengths of this jutsu are the fact that Fuka was able to perform it rather quickly and in rapid succession of other techniques, it's paralyzing ability, the fact it is focused into short range, making it more effective than most other wide spread techniques and it's shown compatibility with Suiton techniques.
Drawbacks/counters: The technique only reaches the enemy if they are in Short range of you, so unless you assist this technique with a Suiton technique that has further reach it can be difficult to hit the enemy. It also requires more hand seals than is usually necessary for a Low Rank Lightning technique, meaning, without having Lightning as a specialty on your bio, it could be difficult to perform in the heat of battle. While it is focused into Short range, it is still somewhat erratic, like Chidori Nagashi and can be easily overpowered with more focused Lightning techniques. Countering this is very easy. All the user requires is any Wind technique that has defensive properties, or good offensive properties to overpower it. The user may also use the (Kenjutsu: Hirashin) Sword Technique: Lightning Rod since the technique is a free flowing current, and not a direct Lightning Technique, like the next Technique in the list.
Perform the technique: The user begins by gathering Chakra in their hand, and focusing on a single point, similar to what they would do with the Rasengan or Chidori. They change the nature of their Chakra to Lightning and begin to form a ball of focused Lightning, which they then proceed to throw at the desired target. In the Anime, this technique was originally meant to be performed with twin swords, but I assume it was changed to accommodate people who either don't use swords, or use more than one.
Creative uses/strengths: The technique itself is very quick to form and requires no hand seals, just the users concentration and a target. This makes it a perfect technique for close range engagements. Being able to perform this technique on the fly while in the middle of a Taijutsu or Kenjutsu makes it a very effective technique. Since it can reach to Mid range it can also work in conjunction with other projectile techniques, either covering larger areas, targeting more targets or making single attacks more difficult to overcome.
Drawbacks/counters: There is always the chance the the enemy could douse you while your focusing on the technique, making it back fire on you. It's also been shown to be quite small, meaning larger techniques will overpower it if they are of a similar rank. To counter this technique, you need a Wind technique with good defensive properties to stop it, or good offensive properties to overcome it, defending and attacking the enemy at the same time. Using Earth Style to defend this technique isn't recommended because it would have to be quite strong to withstand it, and since this technique is very quick, you may not even have a chance to pull it off. No, it is far easier to overcome it with a Offensive Wind Technique.
Perform the technique: The user starts by focusing and channeling chakra throughout their body. Then, by changing the nature of the chakra to Lightning, the user emits an aura of Lightning all over their body. This armor of Lightning will electrocute any person close enough to the user, or that are in direct contact with them. The technique states that it is only good for one attack, meaning it doesn't need more chakra to be sustained. Then again I never saw that episode of Naruto, so I may be wrong there, but if the technique disperses after one hit that means it can't constantly be consuming chakra, I assume.
Creative uses/strengths: Since the technique makes physical attacks nigh impossible, it's smart to use it against CQC fighters, like Samurai or Taijutsu specialists. To be able to almost instantly activate a defensive shield of electricity against someone who uses their fists is a good advantage against them. But this technique does leave the user extremely vulnerable to Water techniques, so it must be handled with care when against people who specialize in Suiton. It doesn't require handseals, so the user can use them for other purposes, like disabling the opponent or engaging them in hand to hand combat, before unleashing this. Other than that, the technique is both Offensive and Defensive. That makes it cool.
Drawbacks/counters: The biggest drawback is the most obvious. It makes the user vulnerable to Suiton techniques, causing the Jutsu to backfire on the user. To counter it, using Wind Style supplementary or Offensive attacks to either augment your strikes, or engage the technique without contact seem to be the best ways to counter this. The user could also perform Doton techniques to either wear the armor out (by attacking them directly, since it only works for one attack) or separate the user from the enemy and give them time to formulate a proper plan of attack. Finally, if the user were to perform the same technique, they would easily cancel each other out. Whether or not the techniques would cause damage to the two parties, I am unsure.
Hope the detail was enough. If it wasn't please say so. xd

Very well, keep it up.
(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 β Upside down Tiger β 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.
Okay this technique has some serious explanation. Okay the user will do two hand seals and clap their hands, they keep their hands clapped together which puts the user at disadvantage since if they let their hands go the jutsu will be released and the jutsu will stop. So while keeping their hands together they will run up a cliff while sending a electrical surge towards the cliff allowing the rocks to losen causing a rock avalanche to happen. The rocks will be very thick with debris and have chunks of rocks which can harm an opponent if caught though this technique is best used with combo, after you send the rocks. You can release your hands and perform a technique of any kind, I prefer to use a quick jutsu that can go through the debris and attack the opponent before they can react. Now ways to counter are simple, you can use a wind jutsu to blow the rocks and debris away without any effort. Funny thing is though lightning is used to set the jutsu, the rocks cause the damage to happen to a opponent. This is very location based making it difficult to use just anywhere. Be weary and concentrate on your terrain. Also while you are running the rocks are being dislodged so rocks will constantly fall while you run.
(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 and it will begin glowing a pale yellow before releasing bolts of lightning in the shapt of a horn that spread outwards allowing it to attack multiple targets.
Okay the user will raise their hands infront of themselves like a sword. It will begin to glow and release bolts of lightning shaped as a horn. This is very simple and fast to perform. A projectile based technique so you can sent constant attacks following this one. The most notable and best part of the jutsu is it spreads outwards giving it the ability to attack more then one target in the area. That is a huge plus if you are out numbered. Also its clear so you can see through it. Being a projectile justu and a wide spread technique you can use this in combos in a multitude of ways. Making the ground shake and send it towards the opponent or hurt the opponents vision and sending it forward making it hard to notice it. Another one is is their is ever a mist or debris of smoke between the fighters you can use this technique as a way to attack the user and know it will spread wide enough to hit an opponent. Ways to counter is it goes straight and spreads only wide. Going in the air or underground can work but be weary how. Later on you can use another raiton jutsu to cut through it. Fairly simple.
( Raiton: Inazuma ken Fudou ) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blades Levitation
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short β 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.
Okay with the use of a sword, the user will channel lightning into the sword increasing its destructive abilites. They will then manipulate the chakra in the sword to have it levitate in front of them. The using shape manipulating multiply the sword creating another two physical copies made of lightning. They then spin rapidly which finally a user will send towards the opponent cutting them badly if hit. Okay this is a slow performance technique as well as you must remain concentrated to execute perfectly. They move at normal speed as well. To be honest I'm on the edge of this though you have many projectile attacks you must remain focus for the duration of the performance and it certainly takes a while to perform despite being a very sharp jutsu. I recommend you try to distract the opponent before you use this technique to have a large enough time window to perform perfectly. It can at least attack multiple targets which is a plus.

Perform the technique: I perform the hand seals Snake β Upside down Tiger β Clasped Hands and gather my chakra. The handseals I performed allow me to easily change the nature of the chakra to lightning by making my chakra vibrate at an intense frequency. If I were on a mountainside I would release the chakra in surges to loosen the boulders, big and small, to cause an avalanche. Since we are not on a mountainside or a steep hill I simply release the energy as I normally would with the end result being a loose current of energy.
Creative uses/strengths: This technique doesn't really have that many uses. Since it's location based you don't have many opportunities to use it either. You mentioned it could be used to distract/ cut off the enemies field of view and perform a fast technique, firing it through the debris to catch the opponent off guard, I'd say that's the best way to use this technique beyond using it to simply get some distance between you and your enemy.
Drawbacks/counters: You mentioned that the technique requires the user to keep their hands clasped while they perform the technique, otherwise it will stop. That means while you're using that technique you can't use any others and you are open to attacks. There is always the chance that the enemy could use a Lightning technique to blast through the rocks, since the lightning only looses the rocks, the rocks themselves aren't enhanced by chakra in any way.
(I have never seen nor heard of this technique before and I can't find anything on it. If it's from one of the minor games in the series, I don't know about it. Anyway, this reply will be somewhat short and perhaps vague.)
Perform the technique: I start by raising my hand in front of me, aiming at a tree. I channel chakra into my hand, vibrating the chakra I gather it as I concentrate on my target. My hand begins to glow faintly as the chakra is being changed. The frail light becomes a vibrant yellow glow. I release the gathered chakra in a single burst, destroying the trunk of the tree.
Creative uses/strengths: While I don't know much or anything at all about this technique I can see one or two uses for it. First and foremost, the technique doesn't require handseals, so it only requires that the user gather chakra and fire, making it fast, even for a Lightning Release technique. The fact the horns can spread out over a wide range gives the user many opportunities to hit a target. It also allows the user to perform it in Mid Range, so they can have a good chance to react to the enemy's counter. If the target defends using Wind, unless they use a wide spread Wind jutsu, the other bolts will pass them, and the user can target the enemies feet to shock them.
Drawbacks/counters: It can be deflected with almost any Wind Technique, but the fact it spreads means it won't be stopped by a normal Wind Style technique. If the target defends using Wind, unless they use a wide spread Wind jutsu, the other bolts will pass them. While it's relatively easy for the target to defend from it, if you are creative with it, it doesn't really have any glaring faults or weaknesses. It's a very well balanced technique.
(What is up with me today...? Another technique I don't know and can't find anything on... Apologies if this reply is lacking any major detail. If I had to liken this technique to anything I already know of, it would the spinning blades Nero summons in Devil May Cry 4, they levitate and spin rapidly in his Devil Trigger, and when he attacks they attack the target, digging into them. It's not a perfect example, but it's the best I could think of.
Perform the technique: I remove my sword from it's scabbard and begin to channel chakra into it. By vibrating the chakra at a high frequency, the chakra's nature becomes lightning. By controlling the chakra in the sword, I levitate the blade in front of me. By increasing the frequency of the chakra in the blade, this produces more concentrated lightning, which I use to create a couple of identical copies of the blade, made from the Lightning Style chakra.
Creative uses/strengths: You have more than one projectile to attack the target(s) with, so you can either target multiple opponents or overwhelm a single target. While it isn't in the Jutsu's description I can assume that you can hold the real sword, since you have to focus on the jutsu to perform it, I can't see why you can't. In that case you can wield the original while you cover your blind spots with the duplicates. Since the blades can reach Mid Range, this jutsu can be used with ease, if you have the opportunity. Since I want to specialize in Kenjutsu, knowing if you can hold the original blade with the chakra coursing through it, cause to me this looks like a good way to overwhelm enemies in close range.
Drawbacks/counters: Because you have to concentrate on the jutsu, using other techniques is a no go. The technique also requires some preparation, making it's use dangerous if you don't have a strategy or plan in place. If you use this technique in a situation where your enemy can douse you before you can complete it, your technique will backfire and you will potentially paralyze yourself.
Creative uses/strengths: This technique doesn't really have that many uses. Since it's location based you don't have many opportunities to use it either. You mentioned it could be used to distract/ cut off the enemies field of view and perform a fast technique, firing it through the debris to catch the opponent off guard, I'd say that's the best way to use this technique beyond using it to simply get some distance between you and your enemy.

By controlling the chakra in the sword, I levitate the blade in front of me. By increasing the frequency of the chakra in the blade, this produces more concentrated lightning, which I use to create a couple of identical copies of the blade, made from the Lightning Style chakra.
Creative uses/strengths: You have more than one projectile to attack the target(s) with, so you can either target multiple opponents or overwhelm a single target. While it isn't in the Jutsu's description I can assume that you can hold the real sword, since you have to focus on the jutsu to perform it, I can't see why you can't. In that case you can wield the original while you cover your blind spots with the duplicates. Since the blades can reach Mid Range, this jutsu can be used with ease, if you have the opportunity. Since I want to specialize in Kenjutsu, knowing if you can hold the original blade with the chakra coursing through it, cause to me this looks like a good way to overwhelm enemies in close range.
Drawbacks/counters: Because you have to concentrate on the jutsu, using other techniques is a no go. The technique also requires some preparation, making it's use dangerous if you don't have a strategy or plan in place. If you use this technique in a situation where your enemy can douse you before you can complete it, your technique will backfire and you will potentially paralyze yourself.

A lot of this techs came from games so they might not be in the wiki or be very hard to find.
( Raiton: Denki Railansho ) - Lightning Release: Electric Discharge Palm
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short β Mid (Short range for the discharge)
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 and they then jump into the air. The user will then land slamming 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.
The user will gather a large sum of lightning chakra into their hand and forearm, then they will jump high into the air. When the begin to descend back to the ground they will forcefully slam their palm on the ground sending a electrical energy through the ground up to a 5 meter radius everywhere in short range, you can also send it forward towards an opponent. Its easy but your vulnerable in the air so watch out and since this is mainly to use for close range battle the opponent can easily react quickly. Also right when you release the lightning in the ground you can go straight to another jutsu with quick succession. This can also great away earth material that may be under you, so its great to break away spikes as well.

Perform the technique: The user will start by gathering a small amount of chakra in their hand and forearm. They then vibrate the chakra to such a degree that the level of oscillation creates energy in the form of electricity due to the chakra vibrating in synchronicity. The chakra becomes Lightning Style and produces electricity that can be controlled, channeled and directed as the user sees fit. In this case the user will let the Lightning run free through their arm and hand. When the arm is surrounded by an aura of Lightning, the user will leap into the air, the user of this jutsu can cover up to a mid range distance with this leap, and slam their fist into the ground, causing a discharge in short range of them.
Creative uses/strengths: If the user is fighting near a water source, if they can pressure the opponent onto the water source or cover the opponent with Water from the area, this jutsu's effectiveness and overall damage will be increased by a large degree. If you use this against someone using Taijutsu, so long as this technique is the same rank, it will overpower the Tai attack because of the added benefit of minor paralysis from the Lightning. The leap into the air could potentially be used to dodge basic attacks, like tools and free form, not sure about other Jutsu though. Other than that I can't think of any creative uses, sorry.
Drawbacks/counters: Surrounding your arm with Lightning makes you weak against Water Techniques, so be ready for them when using this. The discharge only goes up to 5 metered from your position after the initial leap, which isn't very long. While in the air, you will be an open target, as you yourself already stated.

(Raiton: Raiton no Heki ) β 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.
A basic defensive technique, after one hand seal the user by placing their hands forward will channel raiton chakra towards their hands and the user will release a wall of lightning. The wall of lightning will cover the opponents entire position from top to bottom. It is made exactly short range of the user as well and the wall being made of lightning means the user can see through it fine to notice the opponent. Also its great to use if an opponent is trying to get in to close for a taijutsu battle, for if they are hit by the wall they will be shocked badly and pushed back by the shocks impact. The wall can easily be overpowered.

Perform the technique: The user gathers chakra in their body, most likely channeled through their arms, and vibrates it until the oscillation causes static electricity, creating Lightning Style chakra. From there the user selects an area in their immediate vicinity to defend or block off. They then release Lightning Chakra in it's most basic form and create a wall of electricity from the chakra by using basic shape manipulation. The height, scale and size of the wall will determine how long it will take to create the wall via shape manipulation.
Creative uses/strengths: The jutsu doesn't give a definite size, so that can be left up to the user, which can be handy, simply making a small wall the same basic size as yourself to defend from incoming Earth Jutsu and the like. It doesn't require handseals, so it can be used fairly quickly. It says it can be used in a supplementary fashion, this includes combos like shooting through the wall with say a Water jutsu to enhance it and making it more destructive. Beyond that it's just a static wall for defense and there isn't much more to it, best to use it when the enemy is engaged in Taijutsu to shock and burn them. :\
Drawbacks/counters: Just as you can shoot through it will a sufficient Water technique to increase it's effectiveness, so too can the opponent if they know it's coming. The wall isn't very strong either. A C-Rank Wind Technique can blow right through it, making it useless in some situations.

(Raiton: Reijingu Sanda) - 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.
The user will create a half shaped dome very quickly, its very simple as well to do so. The user will send raiton chakra from all over their body and release it in a dome shape up front of the user. Its best to use this for short range battle if an opponent is trying to get in close or you can combine it as a finisher in a taijutsu combo. The user will release the lightning energy shocking everything short range upfront of the user. Its very fast to create with no hand seals and can be made in any position including mid air. The user can also see through the dome so they will have view on the opponent. If connected the opponent will be shocked and paralyzed unable to move. Its also a great defensive technique as well being able to intercept basic attacks. Since it only covers frontal view of the opponent you can still attack from behind or the sides this will force them to have to use another tech making for a proper counter as well as many others.

Perform the technique: I start by focusing the chakra in my body, changing it to Lightning Style Chakra by vibrating it at a high frequency. This causes my body to produce static electricity and as a result Raiton Chakra. With all the Lightning Style chakra coursing through my body I prepare to release it in a single burst in front of me. Using Shape Manipulation, I prepare the chakra in front of me in a dome shape before I fire it at a fast speed. It travels a few feet before dissipating as the technique is not suited for long range engagements.
Creative uses/strengths: There isn't much you can do with this creatively. It's a fast technique, so you probably don't have enough time to chain it with something else. It's short ranged, so you can't add it to anything and vice versa. However those are it's best features. It makes it very efficient in close range fights, since it's quick and lasts only a few seconds. Other benefits include the fact it can paralyze and burn at the same time. But yeah, not much you can do creatively with this jutsu.
Drawbacks/counters: It's easy to counter, since it's basically just a burst of Lightning Chakra released in a half-omnidirectional direction. Can be taken out with C-Rank or higher Wind with appropriate effects, what I mean is it needs to have piercing properties since this technique is mainly defensive, even though it's listed as offensive. You said it leaves the user open at the back, so perhaps using a technique that allows for covert strikes, like erecting a pillar of Earth from behind the enemy to impale them with the basic Earth Release Technique.
I can't believe this was derived from the Gelel technique Temujin used against Naruto. :|

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.
A great jutsu to use for close range battle. The user will send raiton chakra around their favorite hand and condense it to create a orb of lightning around their hand and punch the opponent in any area they wish. This will release the lightning causing an explosion of lightning which can easily shock the opponent and push them back some distance. Its a very basic jutsu as well as very quick to use without hand seal also its purpose is very simple on how to use it but it can only be beneficial in short range battle. I would use this in conjuction with a regular taijutsu and for a finishing blow punch the opponent with this jutsu making for a great short range combo, great aid for close range battle. Now it can also be dangerous with a orb of lightning around the hand you are open for water attacks to shock yourself, you can also use a wind jutsu in close range (Hurricane fist for example) similar to overpower it that will hurt the opponent.

Perform the technique: The user gathers a large amount of chakra in their fist and changes the nature of the chakra to Lightning, via the method I've mentioned ad nauseam (vibrating chakra and causing oscillation). However this method appears to be more volatile than the previous techniques, since instead of creating a free flowing or concentrated current of Lightning and changing the shape to suit the technique, it is concentrated on the palm but it unleashes a violent burst of electricity when it's activated. The resulting explosion was shown to tear through Gaara's Pre-Shippuden Sand Shield and even tore through the hull of a heavily armored assault ship, showing it not only packs a punch, it's flashy.
Creative uses/strengths: I like your idea of adding this to a Taijutsu move. It not only works as a really effective finishing blow, at the most basic level it adds momentum to the attack, severely damaging the target from physical and elemental damage. Dousing the target and then attacking them with this will increase this justu's effectiveness, but that's a basic elemental interaction, still, it's worthy of note. Also, if you create a water source or soak the ground beneath you and you're target, you may be able to shock them but I don't know if this can be applied to a water source that covers and area longer than the range of this Jutsu (short).
Drawbacks/counters: Having a ball of condensed, volatile lightning chakra in your hand makes you very susceptible to Water techniques. Bad thing is, if you are paralyzed by your own technique, you won't be able to concentrate on it, it will obviously explode, severely damaging yourself. Since it can only be used (relatively speaking) within close proximity to your target, this makes you more likely to fall prey to a Water Style technique, especially if it's a quick jutsu that doesn't require handseals or manipulation of existing Water Sources. Then again, I don't think this technique should be used on a Water Source, due to it's volatile nature and the fact the opponent could simply splash/ kick some water at your hand and watch you blow yourself up... Maybe I'm thinking to hard into this, but it's better to state all this where I can show my understanding of a technique.

(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.
So this is a fun technique which I actually used quite a bit when I first started. First, you will send a stream of lightning into the sky, causing lightning clouds to form overhead and create storm conditions (no, these neither cause rain, nor allow for Kirin). After the clouds form, you will choose a location for the lightning to strike, and the lightning surge you sent into the air will come down nearly immediately, striking in a similar fashion to a true lightning bolt. This technique is great for creating an attack that isn't straight head-on, causing your opponent to come up with a different approach to defend. It also allows you to bypass walls they may have set up before-hand. One thing to watch out for is that the lightning comes down at regular Raiton speed, which is fast but not unblockable. If you're planing to make a good combination attack, using something like this technique, or any technique that doesn't attack directly from the front, really, is a good choice.

Perform the technique: I start by gathering chakra in my hand, pooling it in my palm. As I do I vibrate my chakra to a such a degree that it releases electricity and makes Lightning Style Chakra. I continue to pool this chakra in my hand, gathering and manipulating more every moment. Once I have prepared enough chakra I lift my hand into the air, releasing the chakra I have gathered in my hand into the air above us. Once it's there I use shape manipulation to create lightning clouds. These clouds provide no extra features, like rain or high winds, just clouds. Almost instantly they release several bolts of lightning, almost like actual natural lightning strike.
Creative uses/strengths: I can see myself performing moves like using a large scale Water attack, that will force the opponent to defend using Earth to redirect the incoming Water, while they are defending, use this to bypass their defense. Other factors like the Water being redirected can be taken advantage of to overwhelm, shock and paralyze the target. Other uses include performing a a quick fire technique, to get the opponent to use Water, and while they are dealing with the Fire, use the thunder while they are channeling Water. What I'm getting at is it's a good technique for leading the target and using different changes in Elemental Natures to your advantage, since it has a decent range and strikes from above, not the user's direct location. It's strengths play on creativeness, allowing the user to benefit from a well thought strategy, sort of like the two I mentioned above.
Drawbacks/counters: The opponent will clearly see the attack coming, you do release a large quantity of Lightning Release chakra directly into the air, so it's not a subtle technique. As for defending from it, using a defensive Wind Technique that covers the users vicinity or one that has equal or greater offensive properties and release it directly into the technique, since you can see the initial release of chakra before the actual attack, you should be able to pull this off.

The technique only calls down one bolt of lightning. And, if you want, just for dramatic effect, a breeze can be created.
(Raiton: Shichu Shibari) β Lightning Release: Four-Pillar Bind
Rank: B
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short β Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: After the user performs the Ram β Boar β Dog β Bird β 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.
So, a technique that I'm not really sure as to why it's lightning, but oh well. Using your Raiton chakra, after forming the five handseals, focus it into the ground to cause the earth to rise in four large pillars (honestly, I don't know what to tell you... It's not been described "how" in-depth, so... Just go with it, I guess). Then, from these four earthen pillars created with your Raiton chakra (<.<), cause your chakra to flow through the pillars towards each other, and ultimately the epicenter of the formation, which will cause a multitude of lightning bolts to surge through the area encompassed by the pillars, shocking all within. This is a very good technique for trapping someone and keeping them bound in place; the pillars rise, the lightning goes out and shocks them, and then you follow up with finishing strike. However, as the pillars rise, the opponent may catch on that it's bad to be caught in the middle and move out; it's quite a telegraphed technique. Overall, it's good if used correctly, but you should use it at your own discretion.

Oh well thank god. The RP needs as many awesome/ ominous winds as possible.
Perform the technique: I can see what you mean. About how out of character this is for a Lightning Release technique. I've done my best to analyze it, but it may not be accurate or make sense. If you think it does, let me know. >.>
I gather chakra in my body as I weave together the seals Ram β Boar β Dog β Bird β Hare. These seals assist in changing the nature of my chakra to Lightning, by concentrating on vibrating my chakra to a high frequency. I take the chakra and release it into the ground, using the Lightning chakra to break apart several pillars from the ground as I use, I guess it could be electromagnetism, to make these pillars rise from the ground, until they reach a certain height. These pillars have been super-charged by Lightning chakra and once they have risen they release the chakra stored within them, aiming for the center. Anyone or anything caught within would be extra-crispy-fied in a matter of seconds. In addition it appears that the Lightning released also creates a sort of barrier, similar to the Lightning Release: Lightning Release Wall, as it prevented Pains Dog Summon from simply leaping out of the Pillars.
Creative uses/strengths: The technique may require some time, but it's definitely worth it, since you trap and fry the target at the same time. Using this, then using Water to increase it's effectiveness is probably one of the simplest, yet most effective ideas I can think of. Another idea would be to use the Fire Release technique that creates an underground channel for Fire Chakra and once it reaches the target, it explodes is a good idea. Since the enemy is trapped and possibly paralyzed by the Lightning, finishing them with a large explosion would be epic.
Drawbacks/counters: The technique requires some time to perform, leaving you, the user open for attack. Also, like you said the technique isn't subtle in it's creation. It practically tells the opponent it's coming, so setting it up without arousing their suspicions is a challenge. Best counter would be to destroy the Pillars with a superior Lightning Technique. It has to be of a higher rank since the Pillars are filled with Lightning Style Chakra, not Earth Style Chakra. Other than that, getting out of the center of the pillars would be a good start, maybe with a flying summon. Other than that an omni-directional Wind Technique can negate the Lightning the Pillars produce.
Perform the technique: I can see what you mean. About how out of character this is for a Lightning Release technique. I've done my best to analyze it, but it may not be accurate or make sense. If you think it does, let me know. >.>
I gather chakra in my body as I weave together the seals Ram β Boar β Dog β Bird β Hare. These seals assist in changing the nature of my chakra to Lightning, by concentrating on vibrating my chakra to a high frequency. I take the chakra and release it into the ground, using the Lightning chakra to break apart several pillars from the ground as I use, I guess it could be electromagnetism, to make these pillars rise from the ground, until they reach a certain height. These pillars have been super-charged by Lightning chakra and once they have risen they release the chakra stored within them, aiming for the center. Anyone or anything caught within would be extra-crispy-fied in a matter of seconds. In addition it appears that the Lightning released also creates a sort of barrier, similar to the Lightning Release: Lightning Release Wall, as it prevented Pains Dog Summon from simply leaping out of the Pillars.
Creative uses/strengths: The technique may require some time, but it's definitely worth it, since you trap and fry the target at the same time. Using this, then using Water to increase it's effectiveness is probably one of the simplest, yet most effective ideas I can think of. Another idea would be to use the Fire Release technique that creates an underground channel for Fire Chakra and once it reaches the target, it explodes is a good idea. Since the enemy is trapped and possibly paralyzed by the Lightning, finishing them with a large explosion would be epic.
Drawbacks/counters: The technique requires some time to perform, leaving you, the user open for attack. Also, like you said the technique isn't subtle in it's creation. It practically tells the opponent it's coming, so setting it up without arousing their suspicions is a challenge. Best counter would be to destroy the Pillars with a superior Lightning Technique. It has to be of a higher rank since the Pillars are filled with Lightning Style Chakra, not Earth Style Chakra.

That was good. I liked it.
(Raiton: Kangekiha) β 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 β Dog β Boar β Ram β 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.
Okay, so form five handseals and then focus your Raiton chakra into your hands. From your hands, you're able to release unfocused lightning which is basically a small Chidori Nagashi that is only released from your hands, and not your entire body. It can numb and paralyze, but overall is not very effective on its own. When done this way, it can only reach up to short-range. The real power of this technique is if you can have a clone or ally (or, if you can use water and lightning together, yourself) use this technique as you perform a streaming water jutsu. This technique could then be focused through the water, conducted and made more powerful so that the jutsu could have greater damage on impact. This is the true strength of this jutsu. However, at the same time, to use this technique effectively you either need Ranton, a different KG allowing you to use the two elements at once, or a partner of some kind. If you can't make clones, assume I have a clone using a streaming water technique for you to practice this Raiton jutsu on.

Perform the technique: I start by gathering basic chakra in my hands as I perform the seals Rabbit β Dog β Boar β Ram β Rat. Those seals help me change the nature of my chakra to Lightning by focusing on vibrating the chakra until I generate electricity from my chakra. I then use shape manipulation to change the appearance of the chakra, making it physical. I utilize this small amount of electricity to shock and numb things within my general area, but it's not as effective as it could be.
I release the jutsu and perform the steps again. Gathering my chakra and performing the seals Rabbit β Dog β Boar β Ram β Rat. This time I have your clone shoot a stream of Water from it's mouth, giving me something to channel the lightning. Through the combination of a basic stream of Water and the Wave of Inspiration, it increases it's overall effectiveness, it's range and even it's power to numb/ paralyze targets. With the right combination the user and their clone/ partner could do serious damage to their intended target.
Creative uses/strengths: It has simple rules and yet it has very useful applications, allowing the user to beef up the power of a Water attack they perform or simply shock anyone within close range. But that's about it. It's a good supplementary technique and that's about it.
Drawbacks/counters: The user needs to be able to stream Lightning Jutsu with another Element to utilize this technique to it's fullest. This mainly consists of a KG that requires Lightning Release as a component, like Storm Release, Magnetism Release or Dark Release. Otherwise they have to perform the Clone Jutsu or have a partner in their battle so they can use this technique to it's full potential. Also, for it to require 5 Hand Seals, yet only provide you with a weak Chidori Nagashi it doesn't seem as useful as other techniques with less or no seals.

(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.
So, bring your hands close together without touching them and focus your raiton chakra to each hand. Small static sparks will fly between your palms, and then you can slam your hand on the ground. Like a technique you learned earlier, this will send the lightning through the ground as tendrils of electricity, which can be broken up into multiple tendrils, to attack anyone standing on the ground. I like this technique because, with a good diversion, you can shock a person's legs and make it hard for them to move, leading up to a great finisher. However, if your opponent can get off of the ground, then it's basically useless except to destroy earthen structures you don't want to be there.
