Lightning Release:
Lightning Release is one of the five basic elemental nature transformation techniques that allows the user to generate lightning by increasing the high frequency vibrations of their chakra.
Uses:
1.For piercing damage
2.To paralyzes the target so that they are unable to move
Elemental Strength:
1.Fast speed of moments
2.Can be infused into bladed weapons through chakra flow for increased piercing power through vibrations, with the added effect of inducing numbness
3.Not requiring physical contact with opponent
4.Lightning is strong against earth because it can easily travel through and break the ground apart
5.Lightning is much more powerful when it utilises natural lightning.A powerful Fire Release technique shot into the sky can produce thunderclouds in preparation for this.
Elemental Weakness:
1.Does not move as fast as true lightning. Instead, due to the control the user has to exert over it, it moves far slower, which can give opponents time to still react
2.Weak against wind because it is a natural electrical insulator
Possible results when mixed with other elements such as Suiton:
Lightning also has a unique relation with water, since water conducts electricity. This means that a Water Release technique can be used to increase the damage of a Lightning Release technique and vice versa.
Though this also means that if one's opponent still has a physical connection with the water, either a pre-existing source or one created with their own chakra, then they can be paralyzed via their own technique.

Storm Release:
Storm Release is a combined nature transformation kekkei genkai made up of techniques that mix lightning and water-based chakra to create energy beams that can be guided towards the enemy
Forms:
1.Lightning Release Chakra Mode:
The user wraps their body in a layer of lightning chakra that, instead of being used offensively, is used to electrically stimulate the user's nervous system. The technique speeds up neural synapses to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed.
2.Limelight:
Limelight is a lightning-based technique that is used when all four users take place in the cardinal directions. They will then join their lightning-chakra in the form of four connecting streams that shoot high into the sky above the target area. It will then create a massive ball of lightning powerful enough to incinerate everything within the area of the four users. It is considered to be one of the most powerful and destructive Lightning Release techniques
3.Lightning Release: Thunder Binding:
This technique lets the user create a three-sided wall of electricity to bind their opponent. The user must have three conductors to stick in the ground to create the points.
4.Black Lightning:
The lightning produced by this ability's techniques is black in colour
5.chidori:
The Chidori is Kakashi Hatake's first original technique, though he more frequently uses an S-ranked version known as the Lightning Cutter.
