Water is a natural conductor of electricity, making it useful when combined with water or water techniques. The electricity from the simple lighting techniques like this would spread throughout the water source (jutsu) making both jutsu stronger and adding the affect of electrocution of high voltage, along with the chance of drowning (if the water large enough). Using these projectiles to in conjunction with the water techniques would increase this.

Would you like specific jutsu I could combine them with sensei or is this good enough?

Sorry for the delay. Mod duties. Well, your answer is one of the common misconceptions of the RP. We are producing condensed lightning projectiles. Although electricity will travel through the water and will electrocute whomever is in contact, the truth is that these kinds of jutsu are best used directly at the targe because of their piercing ability or even because of their speed. If they were to be used with water, they would disperse on the water and albeit electrifiying it, would lose power as their power comes from their condensed form. Knowing this, how would you combo a lightning with this nature with an element other than water? ^^

PS- Did you udnerstand my explanation?

Yeah I understand, you're basically saying that the lightning deal would work, however for jutsu like this, where the technique's primary focus is to penetrate or to cause piercing damage, to add a water technique to it would simply have the lightning disperse from its shape and into a current running through the water. However, the power from the lightning technique would be lost, or some of it anyway because its power comes from how condensced it is correct?

However, I'm unsure of what other of the basic nature release that would work best in collaboration with such techniques. Maybe Earth release techniques, earth is also a conductor, maybe earth based projectiles used in conjunction with this one, although I'm not entirely sure on that.

Well these techniques are excellent to follow fire techniques. Why? Simply because they travel fast enough to catch up to most fire technique you just used. Why would this be useful? What is the weakness of lightning? and what would your opponent not be inclined to use to counter fire?

Ahh, I see now, they cover each other, somewhat. Using fire as cover for lightning when up against wind based techniques. Both fire and lighting are, both fast moving, there are rapidly vibrating molicules in both, meaning fast, and high degrees of heat.

Xanthe has made me a pyro-maniac xd and I'm sure once this gets going I'll be even more inclinded with such combinations as Lightning and fire...next time I'll take the hint you gave me before :ghehe:

 

[Scorps]

Right! Now, with this general concept you can create many techniques. All of those more suited to be used at range rather than in melee combat.

Here is what you can do using that basic skill:

(Raiton No Jutsu) - Lightning Technique
Rank: D
Type: Defence/Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: Small static bolts for attack and defense.

Simple small bolts of electricity

(Ration: Ikazuchi Kashou) - Lightning Release: Thunder Burn
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user fires a wave of lightning bolts at the opponent.

Similar but with a wider spread.

(Raiton: Raikyu) - Lightning Release: Lightning Ball
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: By gathering chakra in their hands, the user can create a ball of electrical energy and launch it at the enemy.

A compressed ball of lightning you can use to strike your opponent from a distance, hurling it at him. Even if it loses some power, using this with your opponent on water is useful as the ball even if it misses will still release from energy into the water and still manage to shock your enemy.

(Raiton: Shuurai Rappa no Jutsu) - Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Horn Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will raise their hand infront of them like a sword and it will begin glowing a pale yellow before releasing bolts of lightning in the shapt of a horn that spread outwards allowing it to attack multiple targets.

Description is clear. Another widespread of bolts.

(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 condensed spear of lightning that is shot at your enemy from your mouth. Fast. Great Range. Good power.

(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.

Stronger version of the former but more like a streamed projectile instead of a normal defined one. However, it still falls under the category of projectile. Excellent power, decent range and superb speed. However, the attack itself covers a small area.

Ahh, now I see what you were getting at with the four steps of this training, so basically, the concepts we did with the bolts, creating static electrical projectiles, they are the properties that inhibit these jutsu, from the most basic D rank to the more advanced S-ranked techniques.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this training you're having me do, you're basically teaching me the concepts of the four things you mentioned before

Projectiles
Waves and Currents
Melee (I think)
Specific jutsu

And then having me preform all the techniques that are following these concepts?

If so are you asking me to preform these techniques right here, since we already went through the first phase of the training, shape manipulation to create projectiles?

Yup. Once you mastered the basic concept behind the creation of said type of jutsu most are very very similar. Thus, by comprehending and understanding its basic workings you can make the simpler and the most powerful ones. ^^ Its a new type of training were are developing.

Now, Method 2: Currents/Wide Spread.

For this i want you to, instead of creating a bolt or projectile of lightning/electricty, to create a stream of lightning. Instead of making your lightning chakra compressed and dense you'll be making it produce a stream of lightning that you conduct unfocused through anything. For start i want you to gather said chakra in your palm and slam your hand on the ground, channeling that surge of lightning in a wide area through the ground around and near you. Remember, you need to fuel it with a constant surge of chakra to keep it going for a moment. If you don't you can't make it work.

Try it ^^

I like this method, it seems so much simpler, and by conducting the basic principles that are displayed in several jutsu, you'll understand the concepts to them all, rather then learning techniques that are similar and basically using the same or similar descriptions when your sensei asks you to preform the jutsu. By covering all the basic principles, the only difference you'll have will be the minor specifics of the jutsu which the student can pretty much figure out on their own which won't be very difficult unless it's really difficult or unique, which is also covered in this style of training...I like it ^^

Anyway

*I focus on my Raiton chakra, fast vibrating, extremely heated and uncontroled, and powerful. I focus my chakra through my body into my hands, channling as much as I can, confining the chakra into my hands, thus compressing it within the small medium. As I continue to focus my chakra into my hands I slam my palms on the ground, and immediently release a large strem of chakra, manipulating the flow to to create a large current surrounding me at all sides at a fairly long radius, with me as the center. As the initial surge of chakra flows around me, I keep the flow of chakra through my body heading straight into my hands and having it continuously funnle outwards through my hands and around me, adding to the current I'm creating around myself. I keep channlingling my chakra in this way until I begin to exhaust myself*

Like this sensei?

Good! Now that form is good to channel along conductive materials such as the ground or even weapons.

Now, you can produce streams in another way. Instead of focusing in a part of your body, release a burst of lightning chakra from all over your body. Do so and maintain it for a bit. It won't go far off but it will be useful if you combine it with taijutsu for example.

Try it ^^

Sensei, I have a question concerning the conductivity of iron sand. Now this may be rather common sense....but then again it may not be. No iron is a conductor of electricty but I'm not entirely sure the affects sand has on electricity, if it's following the same concepts of earth or not, however if one were to use say a lightning water combo against a shinobi with iron sand would that be an effective way to combat the element?

*I begin by first channling all my raiton chakra into my core, channling it as strong as I possibly can and then I begin spreading my lighting chakra throughout my body, while keeping it contained as much as possible within my body. In a sudden rapid burst, I release my chakra, creating a flow of electricity surging around my entire body. I continue releasing the chakra circulating it around me and releasing a constant stream of lighting around my body*

Well, iron sand is basically iron dust; small particles of iron that move and act as sand through the use of magnetic fields. If the sand is all scattered, in "cloud" form, channelling lightning through it isn't very effective as only a strong enough current would jump from particle to particle. However, iron sand can be used in other ways. The iron sand user can condense it into solid constructs by compressing the iron dust all together. In this case, lightnign will travel through the iron to the other end. Now, two things can happen: if the enemy is touching the iron sand, he'll get shocked. On the other hand, even if he isn't, if the current is strong enough it can bind the metal together through heat (iron is a good conductor but offers great resistance thus when electricity is channeled through it, it produces heat) or it can disrupt the magnetic fields that are being used to control the iron sand, disabling the jutsu. It depends on rank vs rank and description vs description. Did i answer your question?

As for the technique, very good. Now, take this *throws you a metal pipe*. You'll need to conduct lightning through it to electrify it. Be careful not to give too much output or the pipe will melt. Also, if you don't put enough into it, it will be useless. Try it. And once you think you've got it, slam it on the ground ^^

Yes you did answer my question thanks. Now onto the technique.

*I pick up the pipe as I begin to focus on my raiton chakra. I focus on channling a fair amount of chakra before releasing it and into the object. I then begin to surge my chakra through the metal pipe, focusing up through my body through my hands and releasing the strong rapid electricity through the metal pipe. I continuously release a steady stream of chakra through the pipe, keeping the chakra at a fair constant power while. I keep projecting my chakra through the pipe until I have the best ratio of output to the pole and I slam it, sticking up into the ground*

Good! Now, as you are holding the pipe and charging it with chakra, lets do one final exercise. Stick it on the ground in a piercing movement and channel more current into it. Channel it in such a manner and amount that the current will spread into the ground. This exercise is more usefull for customs and understanding the many uses of this form of Lightning Release techniques. ^^

Once done, we'll go over the techniques you can use with this form. ^^

No problem sensei.

*I pick up the pipe and I repeat my previous excercise, focusing a large but stable amount of my lightning chakra through the rod. I channle my chakra through my body into my hands, excerting it outwards into the pole, creating an electrical current that runs up and through the pole. As I continuously channle the rapid lightning chakra through the pole, the moment I feel comfortable with the flow, I stab the pole into the ground. Still channling chakra through the pole, I have the lightning leave the pole and transfer to the ground, creating a current of electricity outwards from the pole as I continue to transfer chakra through the pole and having it exit through the ground*

Good!!

Now, these are the techniques you can use with this method of wide spread and streams of electricity:

Easy Enough and clear description. You slam your hand on the ground and surge electricity through it in a wide spread.

(Raiton: Raikou Oonami) - Lightning Release: Lightning Surge
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will concentrate their chakra and slam their hand on the ground to release a surge of lightning across the ground to the opponents feet to shock them.

You cover yourself in lightning and shock your opponent in a burst of sorts.

(Raiton: Raijingu Sanda) - Lightning Style: Raging Thunder
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: The user hits the opponent with an electric field shield that covers the users body.

You create a shield of lightning that you can make explode in a wide spread of electricity when hit, blowing back your opponent.

(Raiton: Sandaa Saaburu) - Lightning Style: Thunder Saber
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range:Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: Hits opponent with an electric field shield that explodes and can blow back the enemy.

Simple enough actually. Another wave of electricity that you can add to water to increase damage.

(Raiton: Jibashi) - Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30 (+5 if used in conjunction with a water jutsu)
Description: This jutsu allows the user to create a wave of electricity from the user's hands. This jutsu can vary in power from a small surge to shock an opponent to a powerful stream of lightning capable of ripping through solid rock. It is ideal to use in conjunction with a water jutsu.

Again, pretty simple and very similar to Raging Thunder just more powerful.

(Raiton: Raigeki no Yoroi) - Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Armour
Rank: C
Type: Offense/Defence
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user surrounds themselves with electricity. The intense electric field protects them by electrocuting anyone who comes into contact with it, but only works for one attack.

This was actually a doton jutsu up to recently. You use your lightning chakra and create a spread of lightning that dislodges rocks on a cliff to make them fall on your enemies below.

(Raiton: Iwa Nadare) - Lightning Style: Stone Avalanche
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Descripton: By forming hand seals Snake → 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

Again...simple enough. Takes some time to set up though. Its not instant but the bolt itself is quite fast.

(Raiton: Ikazuchi no Kiba) - Lightning Release: Lightning Fang
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user sends an electrical essence into the clouds, allowing them to create lightning strikes in the desired location.

This one is very similar to electromagnetic murder. Its just more powerful and so fast to perform that you might even be spitting the water of the former attack when you use this and it will electrify the water.

(Raiton: Kangekiha) – Lightning Release: Wave of Inspiration
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 25
Damage point: 30 (normally) 50 (when used in conjunction with water technique)
Description: After using a Water Style technique, the user releases a wave of electricity that can electrocute any water within range, electrocuting and knocking back an opponent in contact with the water. When used without a water technique, its power is moderate. The technique can be used extremely quickly, so that it finishes almost in conjunction with the previous jutsu.

Very simple and very commonly used.

(Raiton: Ikazuchi no Utage) - Lightning Release: Lightning Burial ~ Banquet of Lightning
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Mid/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user brings their hands together and an electrical energy will begin to crackle around them. They will then slam their hands to the ground to send an electric current racing through the earth. When the current approaches its target, it can split into multiple tendrils to attack separate targets individually.

Again, quite simple. I dunno much more that can be added to this one.

(Raiton: Hiraishin) – Lightning Release: Flying Thunder God
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user raises their hands to the air to draw in lightning chakra from the sky and then shoot the lightning energy at the enemy target.

You simple make a spread of electricity into a sword increasing its power.

(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.

Bigger version of the former.

(Raiton: Dai Denki hōden 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.

Straight forward. Excellent to be used as opening moves and to chain attacks with other weapons.

(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.

This one is a bit misleading but you basically put your hands on the ground and a large triangle of lightning destruction is sent in your opponents way though the ground. He can dodge it pretty easily though, by going up, something you can take advance of with ease.

(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.

Ok...this one i put into the streams and wide spreads because once you release the ball of lightning it spreads in an explosion, thus making it more like a stream/widespread attack than a dense projectile.

(Raiton: Sanda Appu) – Lightning Release: Thunder Up
Rank: A
Type: Offence
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user concentrates a lot of lightning chakra into their hand and compressing it into a ball of energy and then releases it at once, causing a huge explosion.

This one is very recent in the manga. You need to have created a shadow clone before hand. When you do so, the shadow clone and you will connect to each other through a thin chain of sharp lightning. You both get some distance from each other and run towards a target. As the chain touches something it will cut it as a sharp thin wire would. Remember however, that this move leaves some vulnerability to water as you are connected through a long lightning chain to your clone. A big enough water attack will result in your electrifying yourselves.

(Raiton: Raiden) - Lightning Release: Lightning Chain
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description:This technique requires the user to firstly create a shadow clone, each of them then activate the Lightning Cutter on opposite hands to one another. Connecting the two techniques together, forming a chain of sorts, they are then able to use the resulting beam to slice through objects with great ease.
Note: Must first perform the shadow clone technique.


Now...i expect some questions right? ^^

Good!!

Now, these are the techniques you can use with this method of wide spread and streams of electricity:

Easy Enough and clear description. You slam your hand on the ground and surge electricity through it in a wide spread.

(Raiton: Raikou Oonami) - Lightning Release: Lightning Surge
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will concentrate their chakra and slam their hand on the ground to release a surge of lightning across the ground to the opponents feet to shock them.

You cover yourself in lightning and shock your opponent in a burst of sorts.

(Raiton: Raijingu Sanda) - Lightning Style: Raging Thunder
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: The user hits the opponent with an electric field shield that covers the users body.

You create a shield of lightning that you can make explode in a wide spread of electricity when hit, blowing back your opponent.

(Raiton: Sandaa Saaburu) - Lightning Style: Thunder Saber
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range:Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: Hits opponent with an electric field shield that explodes and can blow back the enemy.

Simple enough actually. Another wave of electricity that you can add to water to increase damage.

(Raiton: Jibashi) - Lightning Release: Electromagnetic Murder
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30 (+5 if used in conjunction with a water jutsu)
Description: This jutsu allows the user to create a wave of electricity from the user's hands. This jutsu can vary in power from a small surge to shock an opponent to a powerful stream of lightning capable of ripping through solid rock. It is ideal to use in conjunction with a water jutsu.

Again, pretty simple and very similar to Raging Thunder just more powerful.

(Raiton: Raigeki no Yoroi) - Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Armour
Rank: C
Type: Offense/Defence
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user surrounds themselves with electricity. The intense electric field protects them by electrocuting anyone who comes into contact with it, but only works for one attack.

This was actually a doton jutsu up to recently. You use your lightning chakra and create a spread of lightning that dislodges rocks on a cliff to make them fall on your enemies below.

(Raiton: Iwa Nadare) - Lightning Style: Stone Avalanche
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Descripton: By forming hand seals Snake → 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

Again...simple enough. Takes some time to set up though. Its not instant but the bolt itself is quite fast.

(Raiton: Ikazuchi no Kiba) - Lightning Release: Lightning Fang
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user sends an electrical essence into the clouds, allowing them to create lightning strikes in the desired location.

This one is very similar to electromagnetic murder. Its just more powerful and so fast to perform that you might even be spitting the water of the former attack when you use this and it will electrify the water.

(Raiton: Kangekiha) – Lightning Release: Wave of Inspiration
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 25
Damage point: 30 (normally) 50 (when used in conjunction with water technique)
Description: After using a Water Style technique, the user releases a wave of electricity that can electrocute any water within range, electrocuting and knocking back an opponent in contact with the water. When used without a water technique, its power is moderate. The technique can be used extremely quickly, so that it finishes almost in conjunction with the previous jutsu.

Very simple and very commonly used.

(Raiton: Ikazuchi no Utage) - Lightning Release: Lightning Burial ~ Banquet of Lightning
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Mid/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user brings their hands together and an electrical energy will begin to crackle around them. They will then slam their hands to the ground to send an electric current racing through the earth. When the current approaches its target, it can split into multiple tendrils to attack separate targets individually.

Again, quite simple. I dunno much more that can be added to this one.

(Raiton: Hiraishin) – Lightning Release: Flying Thunder God
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user raises their hands to the air to draw in lightning chakra from the sky and then shoot the lightning energy at the enemy target.

You simple make a spread of electricity into a sword increasing its power.

(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.

Bigger version of the former.

(Raiton: Dai Denki hōden 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.

Straight forward. Excellent to be used as opening moves and to chain attacks with other weapons.

(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.

This one is a bit misleading but you basically put your hands on the ground and a large triangle of lightning destruction is sent in your opponents way though the ground. He can dodge it pretty easily though, by going up, something you can take advance of with ease.

(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.

Ok...this one i put into the streams and wide spreads because once you release the ball of lightning it spreads in an explosion, thus making it more like a stream/widespread attack than a dense projectile.

(Raiton: Sanda Appu) – Lightning Release: Thunder Up
Rank: A
Type: Offence
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user concentrates a lot of lightning chakra into their hand and compressing it into a ball of energy and then releases it at once, causing a huge explosion.

This one is very recent in the manga. You need to have created a shadow clone before hand. When you do so, the shadow clone and you will connect to each other through a thin chain of sharp lightning. You both get some distance from each other and run towards a target. As the chain touches something it will cut it as a sharp thin wire would. Remember however, that this move leaves some vulnerability to water as you are connected through a long lightning chain to your clone. A big enough water attack will result in your electrifying yourselves.

(Raiton: Raiden) - Lightning Release: Lightning Chain
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description:This technique requires the user to firstly create a shadow clone, each of them then activate the Lightning Cutter on opposite hands to one another. Connecting the two techniques together, forming a chain of sorts, they are then able to use the resulting beam to slice through objects with great ease.
Note: Must first perform the shadow clone technique.


Now...i expect some questions right? ^^

Yes, however none too pressing about the techniques at this moment. I have a few questions on elemental relation.

Now for this method and these types of techniques, say I were to combine a wave of lightning with a water technique. I remember in the combinations thread by Izuna that said the range of the water technique is the overall range of the jutsu. In the case of a short ranged lightning technique combined with say a long ranged water technique, the difference according to the chart would be Mid-ranged, however if the water still travels to the initial long range would that mean the lightning wave wouldn't spread wind enough or conduct far enough for it to reach one's opponent to be affected by it?

Another thing is with these types of techniques, say my opponent was traveling underground and he was within close range underground, if I were to use a wave to have it travel through the ground would that affect him before he rose up from the ground or would he need to rise first. Either way once you're under ground you'll need to come up through the ground eventually so it wouldn't make much diff.

For the first question, there was always that debate. However, my logic is that the lightning technique will have its range upped by one degree. This means that a short range lightning in a long range water will spread up to mid range. Its a misconception that electricity travels in water indefinitely. Water is actually a very bad conductor. However, in terms of RP it conducts electricity worse than Earth but much better than most of the other non metal materials. Also, a liquid wave of lightning and water is much harder to dodge.

As for the underground, if you used something like for example the banquet of lightning, it will travel underground in a "half inverted dome" that will affect everything mid range. If you use a short range stream through the ground it will affect short range. But its pertaining to techniques channeled through the ground itself. Not like the armor ones as those won't travel on the ground.

Okay, that makes sense if you think about it on the molecular level of things, the more water, the more energy/heat is lost from the lightning as it travels through. I get it, so even if the water continues to long range, in the case for the short range lightning it would only spread to mid ranged, thus making the jutsu useless if you're going for the shock affect.

And it makes sense for the second one, if the lightning wave is only traveling along the surface of the earth (based on description) the lightning doesn't travel downwards, again, there's the same/similar problem as above. So it's all technique based about if it can travel downwards or not, just like in banquet.

I've also been meaning to ask you what added affects that could come with a fire and lightning combo. I mean you have the conductivity (even if it's low) with water and earth but what could be the deal with fire, other then the changing of weather conditions with the fire and the high degrees of heat generated from both styles?

The main advantage in terms of RP with combining both is when you make a fire followed by a lightning. As i explained, your opponent might not see the lightning trailing right behind the fire and will counter the fire most probably with a water technique. However, if its a stream of water like water encampment wall, its likely that the fire will be stopped but the lightning will electrify the water, socking the enemy. Its more about countering and fooling your enemy than actually adding effects.

However, lightning also generates heat. You can deduce that some head will be added but not enough to make that big of a difference.

I get it, lightning is followed closely behind so if I were to use a technique like Intelligent Hard Work or Magnificent annihilation, followed by a powerful lightning technique, if my fire is countered by water, the lightning will still follow through, the fire will act as a distraction.

Final question, in terms of countering another elemental technique with lightniing. For example; opponent uses a B-ranked water technique and I use an A or S-ranked lightning jutsu (a wave) how would that technically work due to the mass of the water and overshadowing the lightning?

Same with earth and fire
