ooc i love your sig xD

Finally to the A ranks of Raiton, eyes closed Shinobu takes a deep breath, and slowly blows it out clearing her mind.

Shinobu gets up from sitting, then takes a couple of steps forward. Manoeuvring the required handseals Monkey, Ox followed by Boar and Tiger Shinobu charged chakra and rushed it over to her hands. Barely a second after gathering te chakra, shape and nature manipulation is applied and a discharge of electrical disks of lightening forms right before Shinobu's eyes. "Woah..." Such jutsu got Shinobu's likings. Swiftly, but carefully Shinobu releases the disks.

"Now, we come to one of the most famous lightning techniques of all time; the Chidori! This was a trademark technique of Sasuke Uchiha. Form a large set of ELEVEN handseals and focus Raiton in your hand, compressing it with shape manipulation to create what is essentially a high powered cutting lightning bolt that you hold and control with your hand. It's high-pitched, so note that. By attacking and swiping or combining it with taijutsu, you can cut, penetrate, and do incredible damage."

Souji then suddenly starts throwing donuts at Shinobu for her to hit!

(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 β†’ Rabbit β†’ Monkey β†’ Dragon β†’ Rat β†’ Bird β†’ Ox β†’ Snake β†’ Dog β†’ Tiger β†’ 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​

"O, the chidori? Heard this before."

Eager to experience the famous chidori's capabilities Shinobu fastens up, manoeuvring her hands together forming all eleven handseals as quickly as she could, Ox β†’ Rabbit β†’ Monkey β†’ Dragon β†’ Rat β†’ Bird β†’ Ox β†’ Snake β†’ Dog β†’ Tiger, and as soon as she makes the last handseal, Monkey she focuses chakra into her right hand. Whilst the chakra is let out Shinobu applies nature and shape manipulation and a high powered cutting blade bolt of lightening formed, concentrated into her palm. A high pitch sound of birds chirping struck Shinobu's ears. Shinobu's eyes widened a little, surprised. She looked up at sensei... "AH, sensei... Donuts?" her voice was too soft for sensei to hear her under the sound of the thousand birds. With a swift towards the donuts and with daring manoeuvres Shinobu split each of the donuts in half.

As the split donuts fall from mid air Shinobu dropped down catching them. She couldn't help but help herself as she listened to sensei's response.

"Perform three handseals and place your hand on the ground, creating a large triangular bolt of lightning that cuts through the ground while rushing towards your target. Anything in its path is hit. Some things to note: this travels along the ground as it needs it as a medium to be effective, and it's also a stream type where you can control the path of the attack with your chakra."

(Raiton: Ikazuchi Hakai) – Lightning Release: Lightning Destruction
Rank: A
Type: Attack
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: After performing a small sequence of 3 hand seals the user will place their hand on the ground converting their chakra in to lightning. The user then sends an enormous bolt of electricity that cuts through the ground in the direction of the enemy. The shape of the bolt is a triangular with the base in the direction of the user and the tip headed towards the target. It causes devastating destruction on its way and generates enough heat and power to destroy whatever it comes into contact with.​

"Once you finish that first one, I'm going to cast a genjutsu on you. Don't worry, let me explain."

"This next technique is the Chidori Nagashi, where you'll surge a Chidori throughout your entire body as an unfocused current that can paralyze enemies in its attack range. Alternatively, you can also channel the Nagashi through a focused conduit like a weapon to increase its range. However, one of the better usages is its ability as a full-body chakra surge, where you can disrupt your chakra system with a running of your own chakra throughout your entire body. This full-body surge can dispel genjutsus cast on you by expelling foreign chakra that's been inserted by an enemy. Note, however, that it can only dispel genjutsus up to one rank lower than the Nagashi itself. So, since this jutsu is an A-rank, it can dispel up to B-rank genjutsus."

"There have been a lot of misuses of this jutsu, so be sure to understand it and ask me questions if you have any concerns. But for now, let's try this..."


Souji places Shinobu under a genjutsu, changing her surroundings to make it look like she was in a donut paradise!


Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 10 (+5 if you use it double)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user casts an illusion over an area that allows him to manipulate the way an area looks to fool an opponent. He can only change the way the terrain looks, and not any other feature.



(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

After waiting to see if Shinobu escaped the donut paradise, Souji spoke.

"For the last technique in this set, you'll be performing another Chidori variant again. Create a Chidori in your hand, but apply shape manipulation to shoot out needle shaped lightning bolts in a torrent towards your target. Pretty simple, but the jutsu is very fast and can hit multiple targets or pelt a single one with multiple attacks."

"Pop those balloons I've set up to your right."


(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.

Performing a sequence of three hand-seals Shinobu, she places her hand on the ground with a crouch whilst focusing sufficient amount of chakra towards it. With the application of chakra manipulation, a massive triangular bolt of lightening is formed swiftly heading up ahead as it pierces the ground on its path.

Shinobu moves ahead to the next technique, the Chidori Nagashi. With the usage of the sufficient amount of chakra Shinobu surges a Chidori throughout her entire body as an unfocused current. This allowed Shinobu to disrupt her entire chakra system with a running of her own chakra throughout your entire body, dispelling the genjutsu as it ejects foreign chakra.

Focusing chakra into her right hand, Shinobu applies chakra manipulation getting a Chidori. By applying shape manipulation the Chidori began to fire needle-shaped lightening bolts in a torrent, swiftly approaching the balloons up ahead.

Already flat lying on the grass Shinobu was breathless. "Sensehhh" She waits for the next instructions.

"Hm. You almost make it seem easy... ready for the last two A-ranks?"

"First, channel your Raiton chakra throughout your body and release it into your surroundings. Use shape manipulation to form a vortex of electrical currents around you like a tornado. For a visual reference, it's like one of those long Chinese Mythological Dragons. This dragon then shoots forward in front of you. Even if the opponent manages to dodge, the lightning can jump from the vortex and shock them."


The first clone Souji makes starts reading what appears to be a recipe book for donuts o_o

(Raiton: Rairyu no Tatsumaki) - Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon Tornado
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user forms a whirling vortex of electricity around themselves. The vortex will take on the form of a dragon’s head and will grow to then shoot forward and cover the area in front of them. Even if the attack doesn't directly connect with his foe, the lightning can jump from the vortex to hit a nearby target.
"The final A-rank has you weaving the Rabbit, Rat, Horse, and Ram handseals. Slam your hand on the ground and release a ton of Raiton chakra into it. It will pool beneath my second clone's feet and erupt as a large column of electricity that decimates anything caught in it. You can control the size and height of the pillar."

"You can even hit low flying targets if you get the timing right!"


The second clone that appeared now starts reading a pervy magazine >_<

The technique can affect a bigger or smaller area depending on the users will.

Shinobi takes some steps forward as she performs the required handseals Rabbit, Rat, Horse, and Ram. Doing so, Shinobu dashingly crouches slamming her hands onto the ground whilst releasing a large amount of raiton chakra. With the application of chakra manipulation was able to pool beneath the clone.

(Congratulations :hug: )

Souji unraveled the last scroll and smiled. This was it!

"Alright... S-ranks! These are the strongest jutsus. Most of them are unlike you've ever seen; rather, legends used by famous shinobi in the past. You look excited, Shinobu!"

"This first S-rank Raiton technique is powerful, fast, and one of the best standard techniques ever! After performing the Snake hand seal, you'll fire a lightning spear created by shape and nature manipulation from either your hands or mouth. This has such high piercing potential; it can punch through any earth technique like nothing. It's incredibly fast and difficult to evade. In fact, you would need really strong wind techniques or equal ranked Raiton to stop this."

"Destroy that huge boulder, pierce through it and break it apart!"


(Raiton: Gian) - Lightning Style: False Darkness
Rank: S
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Descripton: The user, after performing the Snake hand seal, emits lightning in the shape of a spear from their hands or mouth which then pierces the enemy. Kakuzu, the original user, shoots the technique from his Lightning mask's mouth. Its destructive power is great enough to even pierce through rock; meaning it has a high killing potential. The user can increase the number of spears to attack multiple enemies by branching the main spear. This, coupled with the sheer speed of the lightning, makes it a difficult technique to evade. This strong attack can be defended against by an equally strong attack of the same element such as Raikiri.
After this, Souji moved on.

"You'll like this next one." he said with a smirk.

Molding Katon chakra in his mouth and performing a single handseal, Souji opened his mouth and applied shape manipulation to turn the fire that was building up into dragon-shaped fireballs. Looking up towards to the sky, he spewed out these fireballs, causing the clear skies to begin to get cloudy due to the extreme heat. The alteration of the local weather meant only one thing...


Rank: B
Type: Offense/Supplementary
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user fires several large dragon-shaped fireballs at their opponent after performing one handseal. It is able to alter localized weather conditions to the point of making thunder clouds when shot into the air, enabling the user to perform Kirin.




"Kirin."

"I've taken the liberty to helping you set up for this legendary technique. As the thunderclouds and natural lightning begin to form, perform a Chidori and use it to control the lightning that starts striking, applying the highest levels of shape and nature manipulation to literally tame lightning. It requires two moves on the turn you use Kirin, so be aware of that."

"If you manage to pull it off in a battle, it's almost considered an instant win."

"For this, so that we don't get fried, direct the Kirin towards that nearby hill over there, a safe distance from our own hill. But even at that distance, we'll feel the aftershocks. I fully expect the hill to be completely obliterated. A testament to its frightening power."


(remember to post Chidori when you use this :) )

(Raiton: Kirin) - Lightning Release: Kirin
Rank: S
Type: Offense
Range: Mid-Long
Chakra Cost: 70
Damage Points: 120
Description: After using a fire jutsu to heat the atmosphere and create thunderclouds in the sky, the user will use Chidori to take control of the lightning above. They can then make the lightning strike an opponent in the blink of an eye.
Note: Can only be avoided with time/space techniques or otherwise absolute defenses.
Note: Can only be used once per battle.
Note: In the turn before the use of Kirin, the user must have used at least a B-Rank, Long Range Fire (Katon) technique directed at the sky.
Note: User needs to post Chidori, meaning that in the turn Kirin is used, the user spends 2 moves.

(thanks sensei x))

Slowly wide ending her eyes she was suprised. "Waaah, S-ranks!" Shinobu takes a deep breath as her heart beats faster with excitement. With great eagerness and a little smirk on her face Shinobu performs the snake hand seal, and focuses sufficient amount of chakra towards her right hand. Lifting her hand facing her palm to the bolder ahead, Shinobu releases the chakra with the application of chakra manipulation, forming a super energetic lightening spear which is shot, swiftly approaching the bolder as it gives destructed trail along its way.

Mentally prepared for the next jutsu Shinobu wonders. Hmm how should I do this... Glancing at the hill sensei was going on about Shinobu states. "Alright. Here I go.." With a very soft tone in her voice. Taking a look at the thundercloud Shinobu quickly uses the sufficient amounts of chakra, as she performs the required handseals, focusing it towards her hand and releasing with the highest levels of chakra manipulation the chidori is performed, taking control of them above. Shinobu quickly directs the Kirin towards the said hill.

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.

The speed was amazing. "I just blinked and the hill was ashes." o__o Shinobu's smile widened. She was happy with the results. "Sugoiiii sensei!"

The hill is obliterated in an awe-inspiring display of sheer power. No matter how many times it was performed, there was always a sense of shock value... no pun intended. Souji's eyes shined brightly, impressed.

"Awesome!! Great job, Shinobu. Take a rest and try this next one... where you'll form two Chidoris in your hands, one in each. Clap your hands together, and this collision of two energies will cause the eruption of a massive thunderbolt that is directed in a linear fashion towards your target. Not as impressive as Kirin, but it can leave a massive crater from the impact of the jutsu. Unfortunately, using this in short range is impossible because you'll just hurt yourself."

"This jutsu is best used from higher ground."


(Raiton: Chidori Jinrai) – Lightning Release: 1000 birds ThunderClap.
Rank: S
Type: Attack
Range: Mid-Long
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description: The user will cover his hands in with lightning, essentially performing a (Raiton: Chidori) Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds in each hand. Clapping his hands together, the user can unleash that massive amount of lightning chakra into the form of a powerful Thunderbolt directed at the target. The technique is best used if the user has a height advantage in relation to the target. The thunderbolt is strong enough to leave a giant crater and cannot be used while being in Short-range of the target, at the risk of being hit also.
"The second technique is the Raikiri, better known as Kakashi Hatake's signature technique. It's relatively simple in concept: it's a Chidori with more chakra control required... but as a result, it has higher strength and piercing power."

"The hard part is executing it. I'm sure you're an expert by now, though."


(Raiton: Raikiri) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blade
Rank: S
Type: Offense
Range: Short (Long if applied to a projectile weapon)
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
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 β†’ Rabbit β†’ 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.
