*On a sunny day Godric is sitting on the grass in a vast grassland with an ero manga in his hand and waiting for Ushiro Senpai to teach Godric Lightning.*
*arrives and burns your book with a lightning bolt fires from my fingers*
Enough of that. Get ready!
*a huge, odd looking bird swoops down from the sky and catches us in it's talons before flying at breakneck speed up a mountain. i shout at you over the wind rushing by*
TELL ME ALL YOU KNOW ABOUT LIGHTNING RELEASE!! ITS USES, ELEMENTAL STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES, AND POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS WITH OTHER ELEMENTS!!
*Godric is reading his ero manga and suddenly it is burnt by Ushiro Senpai*
Ahhh.... My Ero Manga.... :T_T:
*Before Godric is able to say anything else a huge bird swoops down from the sky and catches us in it's talons before flying at breakneck speed up a mountain. Godric hears Ushiro Senpai question.Thinks for a moment and then answers.*
Lightning is one of the 5 Basic Elements. One can paralyse the opponent using lightning release.Lightning can be infused with blades/weapons like seen in case of Sasuke Uchiha who infuses his lightning Chakra with the his sword.Lightning is strong to Earth as it can break the earth attacks by travelling through Earth. It is weak to wind because wind is a natural insulator meaning electricity does not flow through wind freely. Lightning can be best used as a combination with Water since water is an electrical conductor. Storm Release is a KG formed of Water Lightning Combination. A powerful Fire Release attack shot into sky can produce thunderclouds and then the user can use that natural lightning along with his own lightning chakra to form a powerful lightning attack. Example is Sasuke Uchiha's Kirin.
*i nod in approval and we are dropped off on level ground near the mountain's peak. The six paths of pein are waiting for us*
Now that we've made it in one piece, let's begin. I'll answer any questions you have. To start performing lightning jutsu you need to get a strong mental image of the essence of lightning (a description of lightning's characteristics) and convert a portion of your chakra to the lightning nature. Afterwards, transfer the chakra to your hand and release it in the form of small lightning bolts. Try shocking me.

*Godric listens attentively to Senpai who after his explanation holds out his arm to Godric. Godric then stands in front of Senpai and closes his eyes to focus on his Chakra. Godric mentally pictures lightning,he pictures the flowing current and the lightning sparks. He opens his eyes. Then he tries to focus on chakra in his arms and manipulate it and make it undergo transformation into lightning element. After around half a minute he starts feeling the nature transformation of his chakra into lightning. He focuses even more on it's transformation and says - (Raiton no Jutsu) - Lightning Release Technique and sees small bolts of lightning appearing on his hand and then he touches Ushiro Senpai's arm.*
*the lightning racing through my arm makes it spasm a bit*
Very good. T^T Now i want you to gather lightning chakra in your hand and slam it on the ground. Release the chakra as an electrical current moving across the ground to a nearby target who'll get shocked once it touches his feet. Try it on one of these guys. I don't even care. 0^0

He increases his focus on gathering chakra in his hand. Once he feels he's gathered enough, he bends forward and slams his hand on the ground releasing a surge of lightning across the ground to Naraka path's feet giving him a shock.*
"Take that big guy and don't give me bad looks again." he says in his mind while watching Naraka path get the shock and get annoyed.
Not bad. Let's see if you're ready for sets of three. This one is pretty simple: Just gather lightning in your hands and release it towards your target as a wave of lightning bolts to shock him. Here's a volunteer.

Sherlock listens to Senpai's fresh instructions. He holds his hands out towards one of the Pein's that Senpai pushed towards him. He concentrates and starts gathering lightning chakra in his hands. When he feels he has gathered enough lightning chakra, he releases it as a wave of lightning bolts towards the unfortunate volunteer who is shocked by the lightning bolts as well as seems a bit annoyed and giving Sherlock an angry look.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Sherlock performs the Boar -> Ram -> Snake -> Horse -> Dragon handseals to manipulate his lightning chakra. He starts gathering lightning chakra in his hands. He realizes he's manipulating more chakra than in any other previous techniques and feels its going to be more powerful than the previous techs he performed. When he has gathered enough chakra in his hands, he releases a powerful stream of lightning, with a malicious grin, at the Peins slacking off in the jacuzzi. The technique causes them even more damage due to them being in contact with water at the jacuzzi. After their painful ordeal, they get away or rather painfully crawl away from the jacuzzi and start paying attention to Senpai.
________________________________________________________________________________
While Sherlock is still grinning he sees another Pein who was not in the jacuzzi,angry at Sherlock, for enjoying shocking his friends, and running towards him. Sherlock quickly remembers Senpai's instructions of the electric armour. He focuses on shrouding his body with an electric armour with all his might. He pictures himself inside the armour and focuses his everything into manifesting it. The angry Pein closes on Sherlock and jumps to give Sherlock a kick. Sherlock holds his hands in front of himself in a crossed fashion, to take on the kick's impact, while activating the lightning armour. The Pein is thrown away with a sudden jolt due to the lightning when his foot touches Sherlock's arm.
Here, run up the face of this cliff and perform the Snake handseal, an upside down Tiger handseal, and clap your hands together. Once you've done that release a wave of electricity into the rock above to break off chunks of it, crushing whoever is below you once the rock rains past you. Your target will be following you up the cliff.

Descripton: By forming hand seals Snake → Upside down Tiger → Hands clapped together and running up a cliff face, the user causes stone and rock above him to become dislodged and rain down past him onto his opponents below by releasing a wave of electrical energy. However, this is extremely location-based and needs to be done uphill of a mountain for it to work.
Next, raise your hand in front of you with your fingers strait. Gather lightning in your hand and release it in the form of a large horn made up of several lightning bolts spread out. Fend these guys off.

Now take out a sword and channel raiton chakra throughout the blade to enhance its sharpness. With that done you utilize the chakra within it to levitate the sword before creating two more physical copies of it, also levitating. You should then control the blades to spin quickly and fly towards your target almost like shurikens. Mow these guys down.
*send the other three Peins at you*

Sherlock starts running towards the cliff. On nearing the cliff, he darts up the face of the cliff, a pein on his tail. He quickly performs the Snake → Upside down Tiger handseals and claps his hands together, manipulating his chakra into electricity. He then sends a wave of electricity into the rocks nearby. The chunks of rock break and start falling down the cliff, some small and some big, many of them falling on the pein on Sherlock's tail. The pein is hit by a big chunk and falls on the ground.
Sherlock having annoyed all the peins by shocking them one by one, finds himself in a pinch when 3 of them march at him with blades coming out of their arms. Sherlock raises his hand in front of him,fingers straight, and builds his lightning chakra. His hand begins to glow pale yellow and he sends out bolts of lightning in shape of a horn, in the direction of the 3 peins, shocking them again, much to their annoyance.
Sherlock draws out his sword and starts to build his Raiton chakra. When he has enough chakra built, he channels the Raiton chakra into his sword's blade, making it sharper. He slowly leaves the sword's hilt and levitate's it in front of himself. He makes two more physical copies of the sword on either side of the original one and manipulates all three of them to spin rapidly. He control's them with his hand's gesture as he sends them flying and spinning rapidly towards the peins in front of him. Sherlock realises that he cannot perform any other technique when this one is on as it takes a good amount of focus to control the three swords in this technique.
Well done. Now generate bolts of lightning around your forearm. Then jump in the air and slam your hand on the ground as you land, releasing the lightning into and the across the ground around you. It should reach up to 5 meters away and shock anyone in the area. Try it out.

Description: After doing the Rabbit → Dog → Boar → Ram → 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.
(Raiton: Ikazuchi no Kiba) - Lightning Release: Fangs of Lightning
Sherlock raises his hands at the sky while building up his lightning chakra. When he has enough chakra built, he sends the electricity into a cloud intending to hit that electricity at the Peins playing kites nearby.

Sherlock performs the Ram → Boar → Dog → Bird → Hare hand seals releasing his lightning chakra into the ground and it forcefully shapes the earth around the dog to form four large pillars surrounding the dog. The large pillars instantly bombard the trapped dog with bolts of lightning, shocking and paralyzing him.
(Raiton: Kangekiha) - Lightning Release: Wave of Inspiration
Sherlock performs the Rabbit → Dog → Boar → Ram → Rat hand seals and generates a large amount of lightning from his hand. He passes this lightning through the water dragon that Senpai made.

Not bad. For the next jutsu you will have to gather lightning in your dominant hand and release it in the shape of a hound. A cord-like bolt of lightning should be connecting your hand to the hound, allowing you to control it and direct it toward your target. My dog's way better than yours!
