Description: Because of the massive amount of chakra drain, the 3rd Raikage was normally only able to maintain the Lightning Release Armor for a limited amount of time. This technique was developed to address that issue, and achieved through battle experience and rigorous training to build up his endurance resulting in his abnormally high chakra levels and uncanny resilience. As a result of this training, he developed the technique of containing and harnessing his radiating aura inside his body through intense, continuous concentration and uses it to bolster his power even further in dire situations. With this method, the 3rd Raikage officially achieved mastery of the form. In this state, the user operates at the highest level of the Lightning Chakra Armor. There is even more skill involved in maintaining this state, as the user must be capable of prolonged periods of intense mental and physical concentration in order to continuously contain the surge of chakra within their body and throughout the nervous system. This constant internal surge of high voltage Lightning chakra renders the user immune to S-rank and below genjutsu (excluding MS and Yin Release). By internalizing the Lightning Armor it also affords the user a high resistance to electrical damage as the user becomes completely immune to the Lightning Element, the internalized surged constantly rejecting foreign Lightning techniques from the user's body on contact. By internalizing the Lightning aura, the user pushes their nervous system past its natural limits increasing their physical power beyond what was normally possible with the standard Lightning Release Armor. The once wasted energy now is constantly recycled and renewed within the user's body and nervous system. The user's speed will instead see an additional increase to x5, while their taijutsu is increased +50. However, this form is classed as a high-risk, high reward technique. While the form increases the number of turns the user is capable of using the Level 3 Lightning Release Armor by 1, the user is restricted to using only Taijutsu during this time. When the mode ends the after effects upon the user's nervous system make it so the Armor cannot be accessed for at least 5 turns, and the user may not use Lightning Release or Taijutsu above B-rank for two turns after. The user also experiences -3 to their base speed for two turns as well.
Note:
- Usable once per battle.
- This technique is passively activated alongside the Lightning Release Armor level 3.
- Only usable by 3rd Raikage
