[Raiton] [Lightning] with Noni

[Imperfect]

Perform the technique: I begin by gathering chakra in my hands, vibrating it in the usual fashion until it generates an electrical current. Then I begin to bring my hands together, as I do Raiton Chakra begins to flwo from my hands, crackling and leaping between my hands, similar to the start of Kakashi's Lightning Release: Twin Lightning Shiver. (See the image below for a visual aid) Once I have built up enough Chakra I drive my palms into the ground with a great deal of ferocity, causing the Chakra to burst forth, I aim it at a tree. As the chakra makes contact with the tree, using Shape Manipulation, I cause the chakra to separate into several arcs of Lightning, each one dealing considerable damage to the tree and ground beneath it. The end result is severe damage to the tree and the ground in front of it.

Creative uses/strengths: It doesn't require any seals and by nature it's a very fast technique. It can attack multiple targets, so long as they are in the immediate area of each other. Like you noted it would be good with an accompanying diversion to increase the chance of it hitting. It would be devastating if you surround the target with water or even incapacitate them with the Starch Syrup Capture Field as that traps them and allows Raiton to be channeled through it. A deadly combo indeed.

Drawbacks/counters: Like you noted if the opponent can get off the ground it becomes useless. Besides that I think it's a well rounded technique.

(Raiton: Hiraishin) – Lightning Release: Lightning Rod
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user raises their hands to the air, charging lightning. He will then unleash the lightning energy at the enemy target in the form of a lightning bolt.

So, raise your hand into the air, focus your lightning chakra to your hand, and release it as a horizontal lightning bolt towards the target. Simple. A simple projectile technique, this jutsu is useful for straightforward attacks, or for taking out a moving target like a kunai or a summon. However, once shot the technique can't change course, making it dodgable. Aside from that... it's a rather basic technique.

(Raiton: Torunedo Raitoningu) - Lightning Release: Tornado Lightning
Rank: B
Type: Offense/Defence
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user generates lightning-based chakra between his/her palms forming what appears to be a lightning "rope". The user can then whip that lightning around as if its a true whip, hitting his target.

So, first you will hold your palms facing each other and focus your raiton chakra between them. Then, using your shape manipulation, you will form that lightning into a rope shape. From there, you can "grab" the rope with one hand and begin to swing it around. The rope can extend up to mid-range, allowing you to hit people at a distance. The rope can also be used to wrap around your opponent and bind/paralyze them at the same time. It's a very useful technique, but mainly as a supplementary usage. Without someone else (clone) to throw in the offensive part of a combination, it doesn't have much going for it as it's a streaming technique. However, it's also very good for electrocuting a streaming water technique without fear of it being redirected to avoid the lightning, as you can also redirect the whip. So, like every other technique, when used in the correct situation it can be pretty deadly.

Perform the technique: I start by gathering chakra in my hands, pooling it as I simultaneously change the nature of the chakra to Lightning. Then, by adding Shape Manipulation, I give this chakra a proper form. No seals are required, so this process is very quick. The end result is a solid "Spear" of Lightning Chakra which you can throw at a target up to mid range.

I guess it would look like this.

(Can't believe this was made from the Lightning Jutsu Fuka used to simply shock Naruto. :|)

Creative uses/strengths: No seals, only Elemental & Shape Manipulation, so it's very quick. It's a throwable spear of solid energy, so it's good for piercing an opponent in Mid Range, or like you said countering tools. Because it's shape, a spear, one would assume it would easily pierce through solid defenses, like basic Earthen walls and constructs. Besides that, I wonder if you can simply wield this as a weapon, you know, without throwing it.

Drawbacks/counters: It's a linear Jutsu, meaning once it's thrown you can't change it's direction or trajectory. It also makes it very easy to read and counter or, as you said, dodge, but that involves using another technique to help you get out of the way of the spear. You can't just side step after all... Besides that I don't see anything wrong, since it has decent range and it doesn't take long to make or throw it.

---

Perform the technique: I bring my hands together, interlocking my fingers, and begin to gather chakra. As I do I vibrate my chakra at a high frequency, creating Lightning Style Chakra. With an electrical current of Chakra leaping from hand to hand, I separate my hands and use Shape Manipulation to give the Lightning Chakra a proper form. It creates a whip of Lightning Chakra that is, in the words of the wiki, "Capable of striking at various angles and tearing through rock and metal." While I doubt this jutsu is that strong, the part about striking from various angles sounds like it has promise.

Creative uses/strengths: Another Jutsu that doesn't require seals, this makes it very quick, but this Jutsu has different uses from the last one. Both reach Mid Range, but the first one is more of a projectile this is for restriction and/or collaboration with Water Style. Whips in various media outlets have been shown to have a pretty powerful punch, and with the right collaboration, this technique could be used to strike from a blind spot while another jutsu comes from a more obvious direction. Like using a Fireball, and this. The Fireball takes up the opponent's field of view while you could direct the whip around the fireball to strike the opponent.

Drawbacks/counters: If you get doused, the whip will naturally shock you, since you're in direct contact with a Lightning Release jutsu. Besides that I think this is a pretty good Jutsu. Would make a nice collaboration with the Shadow Clone Jutsu & Water Whip Jutsu. Constrict and electrocute your target. The clone would of course use the Water Whip, so that if the Lightning Chakra from the Lightning Whip were to travel through the Water Whip, at least it isn't you taking the damage.

I personally don't think you can wield it, does not seem like it could be possible but it sure is something creative.


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

Another very basic technique, you channel raiton chakra to your hand and create a stream of lightning away from you. At the end of the stream, use shape manipulation to create a hound. From there, you can make the hound run around at your will. While the dog has to remain close to the ground and can't be flying through the air, it moves at rather quick speeds and can be used to easily penetrate defenses. Breaking through a defensive wall is probably the best way to use the lightning hound. And, just as other lightning streaming techniques, basically any suiton technique is bad news for you while using it, so be careful about that.

(Raiton: Gian Yari) - Lightning Style: False Darkness Spear
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user emits a spear of lightning from their mouth. The spear can then split apart to strike multiple enemies.

A fairly simply technique. Focus raiton chakra into your mouth, open your mouth, and release the lightning outwards like a spear. Now, the spear remains connected to you, making this a streaming technique, but since you can split the spear apart and choose where it goes with minimal physical motions, it's a fair tradeoff. The spear can be split up into as many different branches as you want, but remember that the more branches you make the weaker each one becomes. And yeah, that's the basics of the technique.

Perform the technique: I start by gathering chakra in my right hand, controlling it and creating microscopic vibrations. These vibrations create static electricity, and turn the chakra into Lightning Style Chakra. From there I use Shape Manipulation to bring the Chakra forth, and form it into a wolf-dog shaped Lightning Jutsu. I then swing my arm back and launch it forward, releasing the Jutsu with a great amount of speed and force. The beast reaches the edges of Mid Range, after which, the lightning bolt that acts like a link between me and the Jutsu snaps, undoing the Jutsu.

Creative uses/strengths: I love this Jutsu, it's based on a mythical beast in Japanese Mythology, called the Raiju. It's the companion of the God of Lightning, Raijin. The technique itself is very fast, and if my vast experience in the Storm games is worth jack, very destructive. Upon impact it causes the Lightning condensed in the Jutsu erupts upwards, launching the user up into the air. I'll assume that, since it's only use in the anime went "belly-up" this is what I assume happens when the technique actually connects. Besides it's destructive force and it's speed, is very quick. In the game you get like 2 seconds to dodge or your effed in the ay. If I were to think of something creative for this Jutsu, it would probably incorporate the link between you and the Jutsu. If that is what allows the technique to reach such ranges at such speeds, it's safe to assume that there is a lot of Chakra in the link. Maybe douse the opponent and have the beast run around them, shocking them with the link, then, since the link is disrupted, the Jutsu will erupt, causing a large shockwave or something. This is all hypothetical of course, but I think it's a good idea to keep in mind.

Drawbacks/counters: I don't really see any flaws in this Jutsu. You said that Water is bad, but that can be said for any Lightning Technique, if the circumstances are right. As for the fact it has to stay close to the ground, I can live with that.

---

Perform the technique: I start by gathering chakra in my mouth. Then I change the nature of the chakra to lightning by causing vibrations in the Chakra. (Man, it's getting difficult to do this process every time without making it sound like I'm repeating or copying myself. =_=) With the Chakra successfully changed into Lightning Style I use Shape manipulation to shoot a straight stream, or "spear" as the Jutsu puts it, from my mouth. Honestly, i can see why the description calls for it to be used from the mouth, but can it be used from the hand too? The only reason Kakuzu's Raiton Mask used it from the mouth is because it was the only part of it's body that could produce Jutsu, the rest was his Earth Style threads, using Lightning from those parts would cause his own Mask to undo itself, which returns me to my question, can this be used from say a hand?

Creative uses/strengths: Since the stream can be divided as many times as you want, it gives you the freedom to attack your target from separate directions, causing confusion or simply overwhelming them. The attack was shown to shock anyone if they are standing on a water source, so that can either be used to your advantage or be used by the opponent to cause you to shock yourself. Apart from that the technique doesn't require seals, and is a Lightning Jutsu, so it's rather quick. The Wiki mentions the Snake seal being incorporated into this Jutsu, was that taken out from the technique to better fit our RP?

Drawbacks/counters: The number of times you split the stream reduces the Rank and overall power of the Jutsu, but I think I can live with that. Besides that you simply need to watch out for water sources and you should be good with this technique.

(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.

So, first you will need to take a sword, or a kunai should work. Then, allow your raiton chakra to flow through the blade of your weapon. As the lightning flows, the intense frequency and vibrations, not to mention a numbing effect, will transfer into the blade and increase the cutting power. This is a very good technique for augmenting kenjutsu or freeform sword strikes, and especially if the opponent forms an earth armor around themselves to protect from a normal sword. The only real "weakness" to the technique is how limited it is in use, as most "augmentation" techniques are.

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

A great tool to use, the user will simply create a clone of himself made of lightning. This clone is very similar to a regular shadow clone, it can move physically and use taijutsu. Its very proficient if used correctly. Now a difference is it can only use B-Rank techs for lightning and nothing else. When killed it turn back to a regular state of lightning and disperses. Now their is a way to take advantage of this, the fact that it turns back to lightning chakra means it still has lightning properties. Anyway an extra man in the battle is always good especially if its on your side. Combos are endless as well.

(Raiton: Dai Denki hoden 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.

Okay with one hand seal the user will raise their hand towards the sky sending a electrical discharge towards the opponent from the sky. Now its visible for the opponent to see you send the charge in the sky, so they can anticipate an attack, ways to mask them from knowing is hurting their vision. Its a fast performance tech with just a couple of gestures but slow overall for the attack portion since it will be sent up and then have to go down taking two roads. It is though a normal jutsu and can be used to lure the opponents attention to the attack or used to try to attack in all angles of the opponent. The range of the jutsu is what makes it so handy in battle. A basic combo is to have a clone use the technique while you (the original) send multiple attacks to divert their attentions.

 

[Imperfect]

Perform the technique: I take my sword out of it's scabbard, and hold it out in front of me. Then I start to knead Chakra in my hands, then vibrating it to increase the overall sharpness and effective cutting power of the blade. The technique would also allow me to numb the opponent, so long as they were either in direct contact with the blade, or through the transitive properties of metal on metal contact, like what happened when Bee used this on Suigetsu.

Creative uses/strengths: This is exactly the same as Chidori Katana, just worded differently, as such, it increases the cutting power of the blade and adds a numbing effect to strikes, but only if they remain in contact for a short period of time, glancing brushes won't quite "cut" it. (Terrible pun is terrible.) Like you mentioned it's also good for going against someone who's trying to defend a Kenjutsu attack with the Body Hardening Jutsu.

Drawbacks/counters: Same as with Chidori Katana, if your doused, or like with Suigetsu and your body can be turned into Water, you'll be effectively paralyzing yourself. It's also almost useless when going against someone using the same Jutsu and a similar weapon, as the Jutsu will simply match each other blow for blow.

---

Perform the technique: I can't use the Shadow Clone Jutsu yet, but for the sake of the training, lets pretend I have and I'll promise not to use this Jutsu until I have reached that stage in my Nin Training.

I gather Chakra all throughout my body and change the nature of this Chakra, through the aforementioned method of vibration. Then I evenly split this Chakra and use Shape Manipulation to create a perfect replica of myself. It is identical except for the fact that through the eyes of a Doujutsu user or through the sense of a Sensory Ninja, it will only show Lightning Chakra. That would give the game away against a Sensor/ Doujutsu user. :|

Creative uses/strengths: Apart from the ways shown in the Anime/ Manga, I don't think there is any real strengths about this Jutsu. Yeah, you can use it to confuse and possible paralyze the opponent, but it's still a situational Jutsu, requiring conditions like no eye contact for a period of time and other conditions like that. But I guess since it can use B-Rank and below Lightning Style and Taijutsu, I guess it makes it a good Jutsu if you want to try and take your opponent out without getting close yourself.

Drawbacks/counters: I said before it's situational, besides that, it's also a fragile technique, like all Shadow Clones. A simple Kunai or punch to the face has been more than enough in the past to dispel clones.

---

Perform the technique: Using the method I have said ad nauseum, I create a burst of Chakra using Shape Manipulation, and send it into the sky. Moments later it comes crashing back down, doing some serious damage to the ground. Basically, this Jutsu can be likened to a mortar strike for Lightning Style.

Creative uses/strengths: I guess it's a good Jutsu for diversion, but the fact that it goes up then has to come back down means that it will have quite a lt of momentum built up from the fall. That's why I likened it to a mortar strike. Besides that it's good for if you want to bypass an opponents defense, since it can cover any range, and like I said before, carries a lot of force due to the fall, it would be a good technique to use on someone hiding behind a wall.

Drawbacks/counters: It's a very obvious Jutsu. If the opponent can see it coming, they would have plenty of time to escape, defend of counter the Jutsu. Other than that, I think it's a good Jutsu.

( 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 basic technique and one that is usually never used, the user will gather raiton chakra and then release the lightning but the color of the lightning will be different, the color purple. The hands will aim towards the enemy or anywhere you want making it a nice technique on command which you can have nice control of at all times. It can shock and push an opponent back like any other normal raiton attack, though its main purpose is to push them backward. Its a fast technique to perform and great to use if an opponent is trying to charge at you with speed, it can also be used to combo with close range tai and ken. By using it to shock and distract them you appear and send some quick attacks. Very basic and projectile based right when you send it. One of the downsides is it does not go any longer then short range so it is a limited technique.

(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.

Okay the user will take two large shurikens or one huge windmill shuriken. They will channel raiton chakra into them giving a serious electrical surge through them which is visible and can be heard. Then the user will launch one of the two choices of shurikens at the opponent. The user will remain in control of them throughout the whole time the jutsu is active, because their will be a lightning cable which the user can manipulate. Now its a projectile but you will consistently need to remained focus on the chakra of the shuriken(s) if not then the lightning cable will disperse thus stopping the shuriken(s). If an opponent is hit they will be pierced delivering a numbing shock through their body, they will be numbed for one turn. Restricting their movements. Its range is limited to mid range.

( Raiton: Purazuma Boru ) - 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.

A brilliant defensive technique, withdraw backs. Now the user will quickly generate a plasma ball around their whole body. This ball is powerful enough to take in some strong attacks as well as projectile attacks. This is great to focus on the offense instead of needing to look to defend, you will always have upper hand on the opponent. A huge disadvantage is you can only use lightning jutsus as well as physical based jutsus. You can move around the terrain normally even if the plasma is active, giving a very mobile feel to it. Also if an opponent touches the plasma ball or tries to get close they will be shocked, also meaning you have an advantage in close range battle and force a opponent to push back. Lastly to conflict a serious blow, the user can release the energy of the ball which, if it hits the opponent, can cause serious damage towards him. It can only go up to short range the blast and the ball will disperse when you use the blast. If you don't and want to keep it full on, it lasts only 3 turns.

 

[Imperfect]

Perform the technique: I raise my arm and open my hand, revealing my palm. As I do I channel chakra into it and change it's nature via high frequency vibrations. This causes my hand to glow as Lightning surrounds it, but in addition to giving the Chakra form via Shape manipulation, I also change it's color somehow (Dunno why it has to be purple, lol). This is then released in a quick burst that flashes forward a few meters then dissipates.

Creative uses/strengths: Quick and it's easy to use in a pinch or close range engagement due to it only needing basic form and a change in it's element. Best used in conjunction with Taijutsu, perhaps combining it with the Taijutsu move Zeus which already incorporates Lightning into an uppercut. Use that and then follow up with this and you not only increase the damage dealt, you also increase the chances of paralysis and deal more physical trauma, since this Jutsu apparently has enough force to knock the opponent back.

Drawbacks/counters: It's limited by it's range. Besides that, and the basic weaknesses of Lightning Style, I can't see anything wrong with this Jutsu. It's range may be limited, but I already came up with a neat combo, so it's not that bad.

---

Perform the technique: I pull out a Demon Wind Shuriken and unfold it. Then I begin to gather Chakra into my hand, using the same method as before, high frequency vibrations, to change the Chakra's nature to Lightning as I channel the Chakra into the Shuriken. I then toss it at a distant tree, maintaining a "link" between myself and the Shuriken, which augments it's cutting power and gives the blade a numbing effect. The Shuriken easily cuts through the tree and out of range, thus disabling the link.

Creative uses/strengths: It's useful if you have an opponent on the defensive, hiding behind a weak - med strong Earth Jutsu. This would be able to cut right through. It doesn't require any seals, and it's only augmenting a ninja tool, so it's quick. When used after a technique that can attack from multiple angles, like the Phoenix Flower Jutsu, you give the opponent 2 separate Elemental infused tool Jutsu to have to dodge/ successfully block.

Drawbacks/counters: While this Jutsu is in use, you must remain focused on maintaining the link between you and the shuriken, which can be unfortunate if your opponent takes advantage of your move and say douses you or blows a large gust your way. Besides that, it's an okay Jutsu.

---

Perform the technique: I gather Chakra throughout my entire body and change it's nature using the aforementioned method. From there I release this Chakra from all points on my body and use Shape Manipulation to create a large sphere around myself. It basically looks like I'm trapped in a bubble or a hamster mobility ball.

Creative uses/strengths: Solid offensive/ defensive Jutsu, best thing about it is it's a perfect switch. You can retreat and rely on the sphere to protect you, or rush in and try and catch the opponent off guard with this one. Using the energy to create a blast is good too, it means you could potentially use this to block an incoming Earth Jutsu or some tools, then immediately release the energy in a blast towards the opponent. Since it's the same Jutsu, one would assume that this would only use up 1 of the 3 moves per turn you get, right?

Drawbacks/counters: Places a big target on your head that says =, in bright neon lights no less, "Aim Water Here". Getting doused while this is active is a very bad idea, you'd just end up paralyzing yourself. The fact you can only use Lightning makes sense, and is fair, but I like the fcat it doesn't specify a Rank, meaning you can use any Lightning Jutsu, making it less restricted than it would usually be. The fact you can use regular Tai with it is also a bonus.

( Raiton: Kaminari no Shogeki 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.

A good technique the user will condense a orb of lightning into their hands and release it into the sky. The ball will have built up energy and quickly after condensing it they will send the ball into the sky above the opponents area. After a few seconds (3-5 seconds) the ball will release its energy into countless needles which rain down upon the opponent, it acts as a way to pierce and shock the opponent. Now do not use this close to you. The bolts shoot everywhere short range within the radius its placed. So if you are in the radius it might hurt you to since the bolts shoot randomly. Also the rain goes down for one whole turn this makes it very tough for the opponent, its best you destroy the orb as soon as possible.

--------------------------------------------------------------------A-Rank

Raiton: Raisogekishin ) - Lightning Release: Lightning Rat Violent Quake
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
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.

This jutsu is simple projectile technique which allows for combos to be in use which this can be used as a flanking jutsu or a distraction. The user after 4 hand seals will generate from their hands lightning which they send towards the opponent and mold it into a very sharp disk. You can send more then one disk; they are very fast and destructive, this is because of how thin and sharp they are. It can easily cut through some of the hardest materials like rock and wood. It also has a shocking property like any other lightning. Each disk you send the more weaker they get though you can send a rapid amount to make evasion tough. You can send one disk and use another technique, its mobility is up to you to decide on where you want to aim and what to use for. Its range is limited to only up to mid range. Ways to counter this jutsu is over power it with lightning blade that can easily cut it as well as send a attack. Wind blade attacks can work as well.

(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 famous chidori. The user will do 11 hand seals and generate the chidori into one of their hands by gather raiton chakra into their favorited hand. Now I don't think their is much for me to say that you might not already know since it is one of the most famous jutsus in the canon list. The chidori is a very destructive melee attack jutsu, one hit and the opponent will receive terrible damage, not only can it pierce the opponent it will numb the area hit, so if the opponent does survive he will have a tough time to move around with pace depending on where it is hit as well. For example hitting the opponent on the shoulder would result in them not doing hand seals anymore because they would not be able to feel their arm and move it. The chidori has a sound to it, which sounds like one thousand birds chirping, you can hear it easily so you can anticipate the attack so its not a snick attack jutsu to use. The chidori only works in close range but there are many varients of the technique. Other things to mention is how those hand seals can be a problem, but when you master lightning you will be able to perform it with one hand seal so it will be much more quicker. Sasuke and Kakshi bios can do it with no hand seal at all.

[B]Perform the technique:[/B]

[B]Creative uses/strengths:[/B]

[B]Drawbacks/counters:[/B]

---

Perform the technique: I gather chakra in my hand and change it's nature by vibrating my Chakra at a high frequency, until it creates static electricity and changing the chakra to Lightning Style Chakra. I then gather this Chakra together and use Shape Manipulation to create an unstable orb of Lightning Chakra. I toss this orb roughly 7m away from me and watch as it releases several bolts to the ground below in a random and erratic manner.

Creative uses/strengths: It's useful for when the opponent is hiding behind cover or if you want to distract the opponent as it doesn't require seals, and Lightning Style is very quick to execute. Using it within Short range of yourself is ill advised as the lightning strikes are random and uncontrollable. I can see myself using this in conjunction with the Starch Syrup Capture Field to immobilize, then severely shock, then finally paralyze the opponent, leaving them wide open for attacks.

Drawbacks/counters: The lightning strikes are uncontrolled, so you can be caught in the cross fire. If the opponent decides to create a pool of water between your feet and the orb you will be shocked, so it's advised to play it safe when using this Jutsu. It's like a wild card, both easily advantageous and disadvantageous.

---

Perform the technique:I perform the Monkey → Ox → Boar → Tiger seals and gather chakra in my hands, and just like before I change the nature of my chakra using the high-freq vibration method to create Lightning Style Chakra. I then use Shape Manipulation to create 2 B-Rank disks that I proceed to fire off into the distance. They easily slice through some tree's before dissipating.

Creative uses/strengths: I like how fast and destructive they are. Even if you need to perform 4 seals to use them, it's definitely a fair trade off for the speed and cutting power they have. I like how it also has diversity in it's usage, allowing you to simply overpower with a single disk, or outnumber with a bunch of disks. It has tactical diversity, something not a lot of Jutsu have, they usually only have one or two uses, but this has many.

Drawbacks/counters: The Seals may take time you won't have, and as with all multiple projectile Jutsu, the rank is diminished with each projectile added. That can cost you if the opponent chooses to simply overpower them all with one Jutsu. Besides that I think this is a good Jutsu to have in mind.

---

Perform the technique: I perform the massively long combination of seals, Ox → Rabbit → Monkey → Dragon → Rat → Bird → Ox → Snake → Dog → Tiger → Monkey, and grab my right wrist with my left hand. I use my left hand to pour basic Chakra into my hand, while I use my right hand to change the nature of the Chakra through the method I have mentioned many times in this session. High-Freq vibrations create static electricity and change the basic nature of the Chakra to Lightning Style, this makes the ball of Chakra that I gathered using my left hand's input become a ball of Lightning. From there I use Shape Manipulation to give the Chidori it's proper form, basically an aura of Lightning Chakra that covers my hand and increases it's penetrating powers. With the technique ready, I run full speed at a tree in front of me. This is where the Chidori's downside comes into play. You move so fast while performing this Jutsu that you essentially get tunnel vision, making it difficult to ascertain the opponent's move or counter. This is why Kakashi could only use this Jutsu properly when Obito gave him his Sharingan, it allowed Kakashi to read his opponents movements while moving at such a speed. As I plunge my hand into the tree, splinters fly off in every direction, then I pull my hand out, a large hole drove right through the tree to the other side.

Creative uses/strengths: What more need be said? You said it yourself this Jutsu is very destructive, easily tearing through even hard materials like metal and wood. If it can do that, flesh and bone is nothing. Plus with it's paralyzing properties, it makes it basically THE close range Lightning Jutsu.

Drawbacks/counters: Unless you have the Sharingan, or a similar Doujutsu, you will have a tough time with the tunnel vision and ascertaining the movements and actions of the opponent. That and... ALL THE HAND SEALS.

 

[Noni]

I personally like using the shock rain to set oil like substances ablaze. Also the speed of the chidori when used, I personally have never interpret its speed to how it is in the manga/anime. Yes they seem very quick when using it but in our RP it would not work like that. Meaning if you run at the opponent, I'm sure you would still be able to notice their movements easily just like they would notice yours. Unless you have something externally, making you faster, such as leg weights dropped.


(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

Another known jutsu by all which was used by sasuke. The user will send non-focused lightning chakra through the entire body first and release it towards the opponent, depending on how you release it makes the difference of how this technique works. If you use the ground as a medium it will begin to crack through the ground and race towards the opponent in attempt to paralyze them, not kill though but its numbing ability is very strong. When channeled short range it covers the whole radius of short range so it is great to use in close range battle to push an opponent back or combine with taijutsu attack, if you send it at a opponent from mid-range it travels straight as a projectile on the ground or anything that can conduct lightning. You can also channel it through metal giving it a shocking potent ability to the metal which can cut better and numb the opponent if hit with it, this is a much more powerful method with the nagashi but their are other techniques similar to this ability. Despite it not having much damage to an opponent it can still cut through many tough material like rock and wood. Now having the benefit of specilizing lightning is if you are ever struck by the nagashi you will not be paralyzed but you can still feel the pain which might make you lose some balance or hesitate but nothing more. Simple ways to counter this technique is to manipulate the ground if it is channeled you can lower it so the medium becomes longer in range so it will disperse before it touches you. Others counters are quite obivous.

(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 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.

After a small set of hand seals the user will place their hands on the ground and send a electrical surge through the ground cracking and tearing it through. It cuts through the ground all the way towards an enemy. The shape of bolt is triangular. The base will be in the direction of the user, while the tip towards the enemy. Now its a very powerful technique able to easily destroy the ground and tear through many dense material like wood and earth. A huge downside is it moves quite slow since it takes up a shape of a triangle. The bolt will easily be heard when ripping through the ground, its also straightforward since you know the tip will attack the opponent, lastly you must keep your hand on the ground until the tip hits the opponent for if you don't it will disperse making it a streaming technique. When it does the opponent will be seriously wounded and down due to the destructive shock. Simple ways to counter is something similar to the nagashi by manipulating the ground to lower or higher the medium will be longer. The range goes only mid range in length.

(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.

Its fairly simple but nice, with one hand seal the user will gather their raiton chakra into their hands and condense it creating the chidori. They will then raise the chidori high and release its energy which in turn release multiple needles which can pierce through an opponent and paralyze that area hit.This is a great distracting technique since it fires from all over the place it would be very tough on an opponent to dodge them and blocking is just as tough since their is a constant fire of them being released. Its fast and easy to perform. A downside is you must keep focused on the chidori to contently send the senbons towards the opponents area. So I recommend creating a clone, if you have the training of course to send a straight attack to hurt the opponent. Note you are also a target for water jutsus, so expect the opponent to use a water jutsu on you for if the palm with the chidori is wet the lightning will go crazy and shock your entire arm or body depending on just how much water is used.

 

[Imperfect]

Perform the technique: I gather chakra all throughout my body and change the nature of this Chakra using the normal method, by vibrating the chakra to a high frequency. With all this chakra coursing through my entire body, I release it all from every point, creating an aura of lightning that extends a few meters in every direction. As soon as I show I can use this Jutsu, I stop and regather my chakra. I then place my hand on the ground, as I do I gather chakra in my hand and, by using the ground as a medium, send a much more concentrated blast of Lightning Chakra that travels a further distance before dissipating.

Creative uses/strengths: Chidori Nagashi is a very versatile technique, being Short-Mid range it can allow you to protect yourself/ attack your opponent in Close - Mid Range battles. You can shock/ paralyze the target, while protecting yourself from attacks this can counter, such as lower ranked Lightning and Earth Jutsu/ Wood Jutsu. It's my understanding that it's used a lot in Taijutsu based fights as it's both fast and powerful, with the added bonus of paralyzing the target. People who specialize in Lightning get the passive ability to ignore the paralyzing effect this Jutsu can cause, which is always something one should consider having if they are going to be shaking hands in the ****ING NW. =__=

Drawbacks/counters: Basic Lightning Counters apply, such as soaking, or attempting to douse the user of this technique. It would cause more than simple paralysis that's for sure. To combat the scope of this in Short Range, you'd need a Wind Jutsu that covers a wide area and it's Mid Range use needs to be met with the same force. Since I haven't learned B-Rank or Higher Wind yet, that's all I can say on the matter right now.

---

Perform the technique: I start by performing the seals Ox → Rabbit → Ram → Dog → Monkey, then I gather my chakra. By using the method I mentioned earlier (high freq vibration) I create Lightning Style Chakra. I gather this Chakra in my hand, and like with the last technique, I place my hand on the ground. I then stream the gathered Chakra into the ground and use Shape Manipulation to create a triangular shaped bolt of Lightning Chakra. I then release this bolt and watch as it travels a medium distance away before disappearing.

Creative uses/strengths: This could be good with a diversionary tactic, make the opponent look up, while you stream this from yourself. Besides that I can really see anything creative with this, that would at least be unique to this Jutsu. It's pretty basic, and does the same thing as Nagashi, but involves hand seals.

Drawbacks/counters: If you need to keep contact with the ground, and channel Chakra into the technique, then you will be open to counters from the sides, above or below. The Jutsu certainly covers your front, but it isn't enough to warrant such a requirement. If I need to use an A-Rank technique like this I'll probably stick to Nagashi. Basic counters apply, soaking, using Wind of an equivalent rank etc.

---

Perform the technique: I gather Chakra in my hand and change it's nature to lightning by causing the Chakra to vibrate at a high frequency. This allows me to create a weaker version of Chidori that I can use to shape into small, lethal needles of Lightning Chakra that have decent penetrating properties, and carry a small numbing effect with each needle, that all travel at a very fast pace. I fire these needles at a nearby tree, each one of the needles burn into the base of the tree, and I watch as it falls over.

Creative uses/strengths: Peppering the opponent seems to be a good idea. The way Sasuke used it to counter Deidara's Explosive Clay Jutsu was also cool, using the Senbon to match the number of the C1 attacks while also disarming them. I'm skeptical about using like Sasuke did in the 2nd Shippuden movie, to block Shinno's Chakra points. That wouldn't be fair, and isn't listed in the Jutsu, so I'll assume that's a no. Besides that, it just generally looks cool.

Drawbacks/counters: Obviously getting doused, or using this against a Water Jutsu would end in you frying yourself. I'm sure that with each bunch of Senbon you make, each one would be weakened to an extent, but then again, Chidori Senbon has never been about overall power, it's about overwhelming or countering with sheer force of numbers. Other than that, I can't really see any downsides that are obvious to this Jutsu. So long as you know exactly when to use it, you should never have to worry about Water and stuff. And yeah, using a Clone would remove the whole "Beware of Water" thing all Chidori Jutsu have going for them.

 

[Noni]

****ING NW. =__=

LMFAO

And yeah, I think Nagashi is much more worth to use then the second lightning tech, only diff is the overall destructive property. Nagashi is not as fatal.

to block Shinno's Chakra points. That wouldn't be fair, and isn't listed in the Jutsu, so I'll assume that's a no.

Well personally, it depends. For example, let's say....you have a byakugan or sharingan, and you are able to notice you're opponent's specific chakra points. I see no reason on how you would not be able to send the senbons to the opponent and specifically aim to pierce each point. I don't think it would block chakra however, I think it would just paralyze the movement, at least I feel it is best suited for the RP and the overall ability of chidori variants or the lightning element.

Sorry for the late reply, any questions?

(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.

Very simple technique. The user will gather lightning chakra in their favorited hand and condense while molding it all in one ball of lightning. The user will then release its energy towards the opponent causing a explosion around them, which can shock the opponent and push them back with some force. Now you can send it from mid range by throwing it at the opponent and as it makes its way have the explosion occur, that is the projectile based attack and simple ways to counter include trying to overpower it. The other method is by thrusting it towards the opponent as a melee attack which can explode on the opponents body. It is a much more dangerous technique because you have to get close to the opponent and you will be open for water attacks.

(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.

Funny technique since it does not generate any lightning whatsoever but it can work with combos and is very large. The user will have 16 pillars rise around the opponent after performing 3 hand seals which wrap around to create a box almost to trap anything within it. Its large enough to trap a summon or many opponents all in once so it can help with combo attacks or trapping plans. The bind has a small box which you can send techniques in to finish an opponent off. The pillars are made of earth with that being said wind can slice it through very easily or use a lightning jutsu to destroy it. If you are ever caught in the box you can evade from under the box. The pillar creates a huge box which covers a very long range so it can be used anywhere. Simple to say it does take some time for it to fully rise around the opponent making a time window you can use to evade the pillars. I recommend while you use it for yourself try to distract the opponent while raising it but you will need to remain focus. So having a ally to help will be best.

(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.

The user will form a chidori which he then thrusts it releasing it forward to summon a spear to erect out of the chidori. The spear is very useful to keep a distance away from an opponent as well as combo with attacks in close range by distracting them with the spear and then get in close, it also acts as a normal chidori which on contact will numb the area of the opponent if caught. You can wield the spear with great ease so you can aim it however you want, it can cut through the most solid materials as well. Its great to use to finish an opponent off, and the spear when release forward is actually quite quick so it can be used to decive an opponent. The spears also after piercing an opponent can release more spears at the tip to completely destroy the opponent from the inside.

 

[Imperfect]

So... This is basically Lighting Style: Rasengan then? <__>

Perform the technique: I gather Chakra in my right hand and change the nature of this Chakra by vibrating it, creating high frequency vibrations, and turning it into Lightning Style Chakra. I then allow this Chakra to build up in my hand, similar to Chidori, but instead of creating a current that increases penetrating damage, I focus the Chakra into a single point and build it up, to create a technique that releases it's Chakra in a concussive manner. I then walk up to a tree and drive this technique into the base, completely destroying the lower section of the tree.

Creative uses/strengths: It would be a nice technique to compliment Taijutsu, like the Zeus Uppercut Taijutsu technique. Use Zeus to knock someone into the air, while channeling Lightning Chakra into them, then leap into the air, and use this. It makes for a nice combination of Taijutsu and Lightning Style. Strengths would be it's overall concussive force and the speed at which you can pull it off. No seals are mentioned, and Lightning is a fast Element to produce to begin with.

Drawbacks/counters: Using this n CQC puts you at a severe disadvantage if you can't see any Water Jutsu the opponent uses to counter. The ability to toss it into Mid-Range covers this, though if the opponent can see it coming, they can counter. Using something just as strong, or just as big, with at least the same Rank, will cause this Jutsu to be overwhelmed. Besides that, A Mid strength Wind Jutsu can cancel this, and a high level Wind can overpower it.

---

Perform the technique: I weave the signs Rat → Monkey → Horse → Tiger and gather Chakra in my body while using high-freq vibrations to create Lightning Style Chakra throughout my body. I then release this Chakra into the ground and alter large sections of rock with the Chakra, using Electromagnetism to make the pillars rise from the ground and make a large "prison".

Creative uses/strengths: Like the initial technique, it's good for dealing with Summons, or simply for trapping a target if you have the time. Besides that it's just a larger variant of the last technique, and all the information is the same. As for collaborations, perhaps using this to keep the enemy in a specific area, then use Kirin while they are trapped.

Drawbacks/counters: It will take longer to perform, as you are manipulating more pillars than last time. There are less counters than the last Pillar Bind Technique, as this one is both larger and stronger, but a good Wind or Lightning technique would definitely do the trick.

---

Perform the technique: I gather Lightning Style Chakra in my hand and focus on creating a Chidori-like Jutsu, but this Jutsu isn't for penetration, instead I channel the Chakra to my hand, but control the Chakra in a way that it can change it's shape and form on command, thus giving it it's own physical presence, unlike the regular Chidori that only coats your hand and increases it's power. I then use Shape Manipulation to create a long spear, noting that the longer the spear is, the harder or at least more awkward it is to control.

(Think of when Sasuke used it to bind Orochimaru's arms, it was rather rigid, but it was also short then. Now think of when he used it to cut Killer Bee's tentacle, just as it was going to crush Karin. It looked as though it was bending, right? It may have just been resistance from cutting through Bee's tentacle, but I like to think it makes the Jutsu balanced by having it harder to control over longer ranges.)

Creative uses/strengths: The range combined with the cutting power makes this a formidable Jutsu, and the physical side of it means you can't accidentally electrocute yourself. Sasuke used Chidori Eisou on Bee's tentacle while he was standing on water, so it shows that the physical nature of the Jutsu means you can only be electrocuted if you are doused while using it. I think it's a very versatile technique, and I'll use it when I get the chance, as I probably will with all Chidori techniques.

Drawbacks/counters: The only real downside to this Jutsu is the fact you can still be electrocuted. It has a decent range, combined with great cutting power and even the ability to create spikes on it's end, means it's only real drawback is that it can still backfire if you're wet.

It does have a certain bend true, however, just as the description says, it has a certain amount of tangibility. Lightning is kinda wavy, and has explosive movement, so the fact it bent a little should be natural. However, realize, that it won't make much of a difference in battle.


(Raiton: Rairyu no Tatsumaki) - Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon Tornado
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user forms a whirling vortex of wind and electricity around themselves. The vortex will take on the form of a dragon’s head and will 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.

The user will release wind chakra and spin it around like a vortex, then add lightning on the edge of the wind chakra not touching one another but acting to make layers. The wind acts as a base while the lightning is on top. Now the vortex can be a barrier and a attack all at the same time because it can intercept basic attacks as well as be sent to the opponent. Its projectile based when launched but needs to remain focus while performing it or else it will disperse, though its quick performance with no hand seals. The best part is if a opponent tries to evade the lightning can be manipulated and jump out the vortex to shock a evading opponent almost to act as deception. It inflicts serious shock and pain like any other normal attack. This technique is very harmful with fire techniques, since fire will act to phase around the lightning it can feed on the fuuton chakra and over power it so be weary of fire jutsus, that can also make of a great combo as well.

( Raiton: Denpō Sekka ) – Lightning Release: Telegram Flash
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
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.

Very similar to jutsus we have already seen in reality I don't see much of a difference. The user will do the required hand seals and gather raiton chakra, then after slamming on hand on the ground the user will release the lightning to the opponent which will act to pool under him paralyzing the opponent on contact then after it gathers it will erupt in a giant column which will shock the opponent. Like the other similar techniques it creates large sound and can easily destroy hard material. It moves up to mid range at most as well but can be used in short to, though I don't recommend it. This is great to use though with large summoning or slightly airborn animals since it erupts in a column.

( Raiton: Fusei Shuriken Chidori Jutsu ) - Lightning Release: Rigged Shuriken One Thousand Birds Style
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user will utilize a large shuriken and channel a chidori into it. The user will then throw the shuriken charged with chidori towards the opponent resulting in paralysing them on impact. (paralysis lasts for 1 turn)
Note: Must Know Chidori

Okay the user will take out a large shuriken and channel the chidori into the shuriken which will appear as a bright blue lightning current running through it. It takes up the abilities of a normal chidori, the user will send it towards the opponent by throwing it. If it makes contact with the opponent it will paralyze the opponent as well as pierce them like any other normal shuriken would. Now this is a obvious projectile technique and is limited to only mid range. The shuriken uses the air as a medium of travel of course and it is quite fast moving but nothing that can't be handled. Lastly simple ways to counter can be a dense wall or trying to evade it will a earth pillar to push you to the side since it is a straightforward technique.

 

[Imperfect]

Perform the technique:I start by gathering Lightning Style Chakra throughout my body. I do this by gathering basic Chakra and vibrating it at a high frequency, using the vibrations to achieve a powerful static charge. From there I use this Chakra to start forming a streaming-vortex of Lightning Chakra. As this vortex spins, it creates a powerful gust, achieving something that is very difficult in the Basic 5 natures, combining polar opposites. This combination of Lightning and simulated Wind creates a powerful vortex in the shape of a Dragon's head. I then direct the Dragon Vortex off in the other direction, after reaching Mid Range, I use my Lightning Style Chakra to have the Lightning "splinter" off from one side, that would allow me to hit a moving target.

Creative uses/strengths: This technique is pretty cool. Not only does it (somewhat) combine Wind and Lightning, it's good for diversionary tactics. Even though you need to remain concentrated on it so that it doesn't undo itself, you can still use it in conjunction with stuff like a clone or two. You use this, have a clone use the Lightning Jutsu where you release an orb into the air, and have it rain Lightning, and have another clone maybe use something like the Fire Release technique that has the ground erupt. That way they can't stay where they are, it would be a massacre. They can't escape into the ground, they'd be barbequed. They can't go up, they'd head into the Lightning and they can't dodge to the sides, this Jutsu has that covered. Of course it would take some time, but it's a pretty cool idea for a combo. One of the best advantages of this technique is that it was based off of Raiga and his 7MS', so no seals were shown, so it has no seals. For an A-Rank Lightning technique, that's hella fast. xD

Drawbacks/counters: Having to concentrate on the Jutsu is a pain, and as you mentioned, Fire Style can overwhelm the Wind. makes it a sort of double edged sword in most cases, but still cool.

---

Perform the technique: I perform the seals Rabbit → Rat → Horse → Ram while pooling Chakra in my forearm and hand. I change the nature of this Chakra to Lightning and start to channel this Chakra into the ground, by touching my hand to the ground. It travels Mid Range away, where I use Shape Manipulation to have it burst out of the ground in a large pillar, the size of which is determined by my control.

Creative uses/strengths: Being Mid Range, it can be used to target opponents, both large and small, while keeping yourself at a safe distance. You said it shouldn't really be used in Close proximity to you, and I agree, it's too dangerous to use close to you. I could maybe see myself combining this with that earlier combo, in place of the Fire Jutsu. 3 Lightning Jutsu, all covering a different area to maximize the chances to hit the opponent.

Drawbacks/counters: It requires some Seals, so that's a bit of a drag, but it does do a good job of looking cool, no doubt. Best way to counter this is to either somehow negate the Lightning Style chakra in the ground, or to get out of the radius of the technique. Besides that, I don't see anything wrong with this one.

---

Perform the technique: Oh boy. What is about Sasuke's Jutsu that makes them so cool? Is it the ingenious way he combines seemingly unrelated Jutsu, or is it simply the fact he made them? I dunno. But I love his Jutsu. U_U

I pull out a rigged Shuriken with a mechanism in the middle that will detach the blades from one another when I pull on a string that's attached to my hand. I then gather Lightning Style Chakra for a Supplementary Style Chidori that I run through the blades of the Shuriken. I toss this Shuriken at a tree, channeling Chidori through the air, keeping the blade sharp and glowing blue. The Rigged Shuriken slices through the tree easily due to the properties of the Chidori, as it does, I pull on the wire, activating the mechanism. This causes the individual blades to be detached and fire off in separate directions, each penetrating another tree pretty deeply because of the Chidori that was ran through them when they were intact.

Creative uses/strengths: Can be combined with the Shadow Shuriken Jutsu to have another Rigged Shuriken hidden in the shadow of the first, surprising the enemy, like how it surprised Itachi, causing him to leap between the Rigged Shuriken, allowing Sasuke to use the mechanism to get one of Itachi's legs. Would be pretty cool to use this with the Shadow Shuriken Clone Jutsu, but Vincent is currently reviewing that with other Sensei/ Mods as far as I know. Would be pretty OP if 100 Rigged, Chidori enhanced Shuriken were coming at you... The cutting power of the Shuriken is pretty impressive, even for a Tool Jutsu.

Drawbacks/counters: The technique itself is just another Tool Jutsu amongst a sea of awesome Lightning Jutsu. Although, not to diminish this Jutsu's credibility, it's pretty cool too. Best counters would be something to get you out of the way, like you said, an Earth Pillar. I might recommend a Wind Style Jutsu to overpower this Jutsu, but I don't know any powerful enough to counter this atm.

(Raiton: Gian) - Lightning Style: False Darkness
Rank: S
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Descripton: The user after performing the hand seal snake emits lightning in the shape of a spear from their hands whilst kakuzu lightning mask emits it from its mouth, which then pierces the enemy. 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. 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.

With one hand seal the user will generate lightning chakra on their hands and release the lightning and mold it into a spear. This is very similar to the B-Rank False darkness spear. The spear though is much more powerful and runs much quicker then its weaker counter part, its attack potency is high and can pierce through even the strongest of earth material. The spear acts to pierce the opponent and paralyze them at the same time due to natural ability of lightning. The technique has great mobility being able to move up to long range and you can aim it anywhere. The spear can only be cut away using a equal rank lightning jutsu or dispersed by a wind technique of at least A-Rank. Lastly the spears can split on the users command to deceive this can be used to decieve an opponent as well as attack more then one target. Though remember the more you make the more each get weak. Its a fast performance technique, projectile based technique as well which helps in combos but this also makes the spear quite straightforward so you can easily have the time to evade.

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.

I'll be explaining this technique as if you have a regular bio and not a kakashi bio. The user will do 3 hand seals and create a serious condensed amount of raiton which appears almost completely white. It has a serious amount of power so much though that it can cut through actual lightning making it one of the most powerful techniques in the lightning jutsu list its power is so noticable you can hear the lightning current as well as see the lightning revolve around the user due to the insane concentration. It is mainly used as a melee weapon great for close range battle, it is the type of technique a opponent does not want to get close to, it can easily be used in combo with other close combat attacks like taijutsu, or hold a sword in the other hand to always keep up to battle in close range. This technique has the ability to cut through many dense objects. In short it is very similar to chidori but in a more advanced form.

(Raiton: Raikiri Nibai Raikou Jishin) – Lightning Release: Lightning Blade Double Lightning Quake
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
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.

So, this technique is very similar to the Raikiri you just did. First, you create a Raikiri (using Raikiri's handseals), and then place your other hand by your lightning-charged palm, splitting the Raikiri into two, allowing you to essentially hold two Chidori as you cut it's power in half when you cut it in half. Using this technique doesn't count as two techniques, one for Raikiri and one for this; just one jutsu for this one. This technique allows you to turn hand-based taijutsu into powerful lightning strikes with both of your hands, instead of simply having your one hand with lightning in it. Now, depending on the situation, this technique and regular Raikiri or even Chidori could be favored or the other; it's all situational. But the one thing to remember about this jutsu is that it's more like two Chidori than two Raikiri, as you have to cut it's power when you divide it among your two hands.
