[Raiton] Raiton with Six Pāths

[Six Paths]

Hearing my student out, I was showing nothing but an expression of pure concentration, but something was different from before. This time the smile which is almost present was replaced by an indifferent expression, but inside I was confused what happened.

The performance was well, but I was a little disappointed at the explanation about the second jutsu, you forgot a fair deal of disadvantages like the fact that you can't use ninjutsu while using it, the fact that you will protect everything before you. And you have one more advantage and it is that you can point your hand anyway you want and be able to form the shield, so even up and below you, would certainly work. I expect better work with the future techniques.


(Raiton: Reijingu Sandā) - Lightning Style: Raging Thunder
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user creates a half shaped dome of lightning that can be pushed forward in a similar way to a "wave of lightning" attack. It has both paralyzing and shocking properties as well as physical momentum.

So what I want you to do right now, is extend your hands before you and charge chakra inside your body. When you can feel that the needed amounts are gathered you will simply start transferring it towards your hands, you will begin radiating the chakra right before you. With the use of the shape manipulation i want you to shape your chakra into a half dome, which would be like a round wall, then i want you to begin vibrating the chakra and turn the raw chakra into lightning one. I want you then to pull back your hands, and push them forward allowing the dome to dash forward and hit any enemy in short range of you, that would be about 5 m.

I make a clone, which starts running at you.

(Raiton: Sandā Sāburu) - Lightning Style: Thunder Saber
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range:Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user gathers lightning chakra around his fist, generating a sphere of pure lightning around it. The user can then punch a target, unleashing the lightning in the form of a localized electrical explosion.

So this technique is a little different from what you learned. Now simply extend your right hand right before you, and charge chakra into it. I want you to radiate the chakra around your hand, condensed into a fist. This chakra should have a similar shape to a sphere, while the nature manipulation will look like lightning. When you are sure the quantity will be enough, I want you to come close to my clone and punch him in the stomach, the moment you do that, I want you to rapidly, release all the condensed chakra, so simply stop controlling the shape manipulation, and let it run wild. The power of it, will be enough to cause some kind of electrical explosion which will push my clone back, and entirely destroy him. You will be left unharmed of course. You just need to be careful to push it far away enough for it to leave your arm and fist unphased.

I make a clone which stands right before you.

 

[Goetia]

Apologies for the lazy replies as of late. I've been quite busy with other things, which is the cause for my lack of activity, and the fast replies are tiring me out z.z

---

Technique 1

Holding his arms outstretched before him, his hands opened to reveal his fingerless-gloved palms. Then, he begins focusing and gathering his chakra in the center of his being. Once he completed gathering the sufficient amounts of chakra, he then sent it all towards his hands, where he sent out small amounts of the chakra at a time. Using shape manipulation, he forms the chakra in front of him to form a half-dome shape in front of him. While he does this, he vibrates the chakra to turn it into a half-dome of lightning. Moments later, Ryu withdraws his arms slightly, then thrusts them forward, sending the dome of lighting shooting forward 5 metres that shocks the clone you created.

Uses:

This technique is a little more offensive than the last technique, which gives it the extra advantage of being slightly more offence-oriented. Also since this technique requires no seals to perform, you can do it quickly to surprise your opponent. However, one of the disadvantages it has is it's short range, which limits it's potential from an offensive perspective. Also, since it requires both hands, you will not be able to use techniques that require seals, or any techniques for that matter, since the wall of lightning forms in front of you.

---

Technique 2

Holding his right hand in front of him, Ryu clenches it into a fist. Then, he begins to send his chakra out through his right arm, controlling the chakra to surround his fist. Then, using shape manipulation, he forms the chakra to take a spherical form around his fist, while vibrating the chakra so that it becomes lightning. Then, when the condensed ball of electricity has stabilised around his right hand, he punches your clone in the gut. At that moment, he fully extends his arm to add to the force of the punch, and Ryu then lets the electricity surrounding his hand explode, adding much more impact to the punch he landed on the clone. This causes the clone to disappear.

Uses:

This technique doesn't have too much going for it, since it's a CQC technique mainly. However, this can be used to finish Taijutsu combo's for extra damage, which can be quite useful. However, given that this technique is a Taijutsu technique, you can't really do much with it. You also will not be able to form seals while using this jutsu as well.

 

[Six Paths]

Smiling after the next reply, I was a little calmer. Seems like he got his fire back up and running this time I was actually satisfied from Ryus reply. So ready I simply hold my left hand in in the side of my waist relaxing it,while the right hand was simply extended forward as it was showing the thumb up with a calm expression and sparkling eyes.

Alright this time it was a lot better, I am glad you are fully back to it, so lets not fret, lets keep going with the next set.

Saying that, he pulled his hand back as he relaxed it in the other side of the waist as he began explaining the next technique.

(Raiton: Ikazuchi no Kiba) - Lightning Release: Fangs of Lightning
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user will raise his hand or a weapon and send an electrical discharge into the clouds, allowing them to create lightning strikes in the desired location. The discharges are triggered right after the technique and cannot be delayed or prepared before hand but are quite fast.

Alright, this technique is surely different from what you all heard. It will actually give you more of a feel of being able to use raw lightning. So I want you to first gather chakra inside your body. This process should be fairly painless so now simply extend your right hand up, with the palm directed to the sky. The chakra that you now gathered, I want you to release it right upwards and send it towards the clouds. As they are incredibly far,so that with concentration so that it will reach it fast. While you are releasing it, start charging your chakra into lightning while vibrating it, it will be very slight, just to give it an electrical charge. Now, you will right after the last bit of chakra reached up, release that electrical charge in a spot, which is right over your enemy. And from that, make the vibrations enormous, and they would be strong enough to manifest themselves into a real lightning bolt which will kill the enemy if it lands right over him. Though don't misinterpret it. This lightning bolt is not as fast as lightning, it can very well be reacted to it. So use it on my clone, and tell me what you think about it.

I make a clone waiting for you to attack it.

(Raiton: Shichu Shibari) – Lightning Release: Four-Pillar Bind
Rank: B
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short – Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: After the user performs the Ram → Boar → Dog → Bird → Hare hand seals, he releases his lightning chakra into the ground, using it to forcefully shape the earth into 4 big pillars (proportionate to the target area) around the target. Once they rise, they unleash a barrage of lightning bolts, currents and shocks to whatever is inside, paralyzing, shocking and damaging the target from all around.

Alright, so this technique....is a very special one. What I want you to do is weave through 5 handseals. Which are the Ram, Boar, Dog, Bird, Hare. And once you do that, charge chakra inside your body until the amounts reach a sufficient charge to activate this jutsu. What I want you to do then, is radiate your chakra from your body towards the ground, and give it a slight lightning affinity which is characterized with lightning vibration. Then magically, you will force up, 4 pillars of earth...with lightning chakra....I am not kidding. You will use lightning chakra to grow these pillars around the enemy. The pillars will have huge amounts of chakra compressed into them, and the only thing left, is have the chakra from the pillars, gather into lightning chunks which then you will thrust towards the opponent from all 4 pillars simultaneously. the lightning bolts will be able to shock and paralyze everything inbetween. The range is fantastic too, so you have no limitations there. The only thing which keeps me up at night though, are the earth pillar parts. But you will get used to it....eventually.....well maybe. Just perform it.

I make a clone standing 3 m away from you.

 

[Goetia]

Technique 1

Gathering his chakra within his body, Ryu then holds his right arm to the sky, opening his hand up to reveal his palm. Then, he begins streaming the gathered chakra into the sky, vibrating it slightly while it goes into the skies above. Then, he focuses the chakra on the location of the clone you created, and spikes the vibrations by an enormous amount. Not even a moment after he spiked the vibrations on the charge, a bolt of lightning shot down from the heavens onto the clone, causing lethal electrical damage.

Uses:

While this technique may not be nearly as fast or as powerful as Kirin, it certainly is more convenient. It does not require preparations, instead only for you to send your chakra into the air and focusing it on your opponent as a lightning bolt. It doesn't require seals either, so it isn't slow. However, as you said, it is not as fast as real lightning, and can be evaded or defended against. Also, you wouldn't be able to perform techniques that require seals while using this technique, since it requires you to use one of your arms to perform. Also, while using this technique, you will be left quite defenceless due to the occupation of one arm, so you will be left open for attack, and the opponent doesn't have to evade a technique his opponent couldn't use due to injury or death.

---

Technique 2

Ryu forms the Ram → Boar → Dog → Bird → Hare seals, and then begins concentrating his chakra to one point in his body. Then, he begins to let that gathered chakra seep into the ground, vibrating the chakra gently so it doesn't rip through the earth. As the chakra, now lightning, seeps through the ground to underneath the opponent, Ryu spikes the vibrations, the lightning causing 4 large pillars to sprout from underground to surround the clone. As the pillars rise, the lightning travelled with them. As soon as the pillars completely formed, Ryu then spiked the vibrations of the lightning yet again, causing a bolt of lightning to shoot from each pillar. The 4 individual lightning bolts fry the clone.

Uses:

This technique has great range, which allows for greater variety and choices in the targets you can use this technique on. Also, since this technique doesn't require seals, and it just involves sending chakra under your opponent to summon pillars around them, it would most likely go undetected unless the opponent had a way of seeing the chakra. Since this technique causes paralysis, you could use it to hold the target in place to deal a finishing blow. If used in combination with a Water technique that is used prior to this technique, you could deal some fairly lethal damage. Also, the opponent would have no reason to suspect a combo between this technique and a water one, since the chakra will go unseen, again unless the opponent has a way of detecting the chakra movement.

 

[Six Paths]

Seeing how well the student performed, this time around I was rather surprised, the detail he gave my eyes widen, while I simply stand there in awe. Ryus reply this time was nothing but pure perfection. If he would keep going like that, the training would be a bottleneck for him. So I would be forced to speed up things for his own good.

Alright, this was pure awesomeness. I was super satisfied with your reply, but not only that. I was surprised too, your knowledge is beyond that I would have thought, well done my friend. So without holding back let us continue!

(Raiton: Kangekiha) – Lightning Release: Wave of Inspiration
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage point: 40 (+20 to Water Technique)
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.

So this technique is a pretty useful one so follow my lead. I will need you to make 5 handseals, beginning with Rabbit, Dog, Boar, Ram and finalizing it with the Rat handseal, then you will starts gathering chakra inside your body. The amounts when they are sufficient, you will send them towards your hands. Now comes the tricky part. This chakra will be leaked through the powers and with the use of vibrations you will form a lightning stream, which will spread out in an unfocused manner, but here comes the great thing about it as well, you can use it in conjunction with another technique, a water one in most cases to give the technique a lot more power. You are able to give a technique enough power to boost it up one rank higher, so the damage will be higher. But there is one thing you need to keep in mind. You cannot use the water technique along with this one. You can't use any other technique with this one. There is a solid rule and that is that you can't use 2 techniques of the different elemental nature at once. Only people who can are those which are specialized in the yin yang arts. So You will need an ally or a clone. So what I will do, is I will make 2 clones. One of them will release a water stream, while the other one will be waiting for it's demise. Get ready!!

I make 2 clones, one of them comes close to you, waiting for your sign, while the other one is waiting.


(Raiton: Ikazuchi no Utage) - Lightning Release: Lightning Burial ~ Banquet of Lightning
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short-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.

For this technique, this one is rather simple. I want you to charge chakra inside your body and once the amounts needed are gathered, brings your hands together, as you release a tiny bit of chakra from both hands, creating a few lightning sparks, which will show the nature of lightning. Then, simply slam your hands into the ground, and charge lightning chakra inside it. With the usage of the vibrations carefully, don't break up the earth, but rather travel through it, till you reach a desired location. Once that is done, you will split the lightning into many tendrils equally, which jump up from the earth to attack the opponents you are fighting. It is a jutsu which is insanely useful when fighting more than one enemy. Try it out yourself.

I make 4 clones which all stand away from you in a scattered manner.

 

[Goetia]

Technique 1

Performing the Rabbit → Dog → Boar → Ram → Rat hand seals in quick succession, Ryu then focuses his chakra to his hands which are locked in the Rat seal. While the clone beside Ryu begins to create a stream of water, Ryu has already sent out the chakra gathered in his hands, and created lightning from it. Then, Ryu spikes the vibrations, manipulating the lightning to streamline towards the water stream the clone beside him had created. The lightning merges with the torrent of water, and the lightning enhanced water courses towards the other clone. The large mass of water hits the clone, shocking him lethally before it disappears.

Uses:

This technique has a pretty nice range, so taking far away and multiple targets won't be too much of a problem. However, this technique requires a few seals to perform, and unless you've mastered Yin-Yang, you will not be able to perform this technique on top of the water technique yourself. You'll require a clone or ally to assist you, and that takes away from the potential of this technique greatly. However, this technique is useful in it's own right, since it will deal good damage with or without a water technique in a combo. Also, If you wet the target with a water technique prior to using this jutsu, you can achieve the same effect as having someone assist you.

---

Technique 1

Proceeding to focus his chakra within the centre of his being, Ryu then claps his palms together, sending the gathered chakra to his joined hands. Radiating small amounts of that chakra out from his hands, he keeps it close and vibrates it, causing lightning to crackle around his hands. Then, he slams both hands down on the ground, and sends all of the lightning chakra onto the ground, creating a massive stream of lightning that streamlines through the ground towards the clones. Then, upon reaching them, several tendrils of lightning leap from the group to attack them. After being electrocuted, the clones disappear.

Uses:

This technique is quite good for mid-long range tactics. The fact that this jutsu requires no seals makes it even better. Also, if you wet the target or majority of the surrounding terrain with masses of water, then this technique will become incredibly lethal. Another advantage of this technique is that it runs along the ground, so it will be harder to neutralise/counter than other techniques of the Lightning element, since many others instead fly through the air. The tendrils that spread from the original body of the technique also helps to increase it's range of effect.

 

[Six Paths]

I simply nodded and smiled towards Ryu's reply. Maybe the choice I made right now is wrong, but doing as we are currently doing will simply hold my student back, so lowering my head and tying my arms right before me, I begin explaining.

Alright, this was once again perfect, but Ryu, listen to me now. I have made a very special choice, seeing how well you are performing each and every technique, I will go with 3 techniques at a time now. So this means, I will be having more trust into you. I expect you to perform everything this well all the time. And not give in to the amount of work and skimp with the techniques, I will be watching you as you perform, hopefully it isn't too much for you. Let's get ready!!

(Raiton: Hiraishin) – Lightning Release: Lightning Rod
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user raises their hands to the air, charging lightning. He will then unleash the lightning energy at the enemy target in the form of a lightning bolt.

Alright, what I want you to do now is simply. Charge lightning chakra inside your body, as you calm yourself done. Until the amounts are done, I want you to remain quite and unmoving. As the chakra needed is gathered, i want you to simply lift your right hand up into the air, while you send your chakra towards it. Now from the hand, I want you to release the chakra very roughly and strongly from your body, with the shape manipulation imagine a bolt of lightning flying towards the enemy, while at the same time, vibrate the chakra very fast, forming lightning. This lightning bolt is very fast and can kill any opponent it hits. Try it out.

I make a simple clone, which stands waiting.

(Raiton: Torunedo Raitoningu) - Lightning Release: Tornado Lightning
Rank: B
Type: Offense/Defence
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user generates lightning-based chakra between his/her palms forming what appears to be a lightning "rope". The user can then whip that lightning around as if its a true whip, hitting his target.

What I want you to do now, is just as before charge chakra inside your body until you reach the needed quantity. Once done, Simply send your chakra towards your dominant hand and calm down. Now what you should do, it let the chakra leave the arm, until it reached a certain distance. Use the shape manipulation to form some kind of rioe, or whip and the rope should be connected to the palm still. Then I want you to charge lightning inside that whip. Wibrate your chakra fast until it turns into a raw flow of electrons. You will be able to fully create a whip of lightning, which you then can throw forward and hit your target. You can even use it defensively to dodge earth projectiles as far as A rank. Use it on my clone.

I make one more clone waiting for his upcoming death.

(Raiton: Raijū Hashiri no Jutsu) - Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Running Technique
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user channels his lightning chakra to his dominant hand and then radiates it out making it a hound shaped stream of lighting which stays attached to the users hand through a bolt of lighting and rampages towards his target.

Alright, this one is very more special, so listen to me. Charge your chakra inside your body, and once done extend your hand. As you do that, send all the chakra towards the hand. Now I want you to release all that chakra outside, with the shape manipulation, you will create a wolf, which you will use to dash to the enemy. As you create the wolf, create lightning from this raw chakra, as you vibrate it violently. The wolf will still be connected to the hand, but it can run fast enough to reach your enemy in a very short time. But, as it is connected to the hand, you can't use any other techniques while you use this. Try it once again on my clone.

I make a clone, waiting for you to attack him.

 

[Goetia]

Technique 1

Raising his right arm into the air, with his palm spread wide open, Ryu calms his body and mind and begins to charge his chakra within his body. With the sufficient amount gathered, Ryu focuses and channels it towards his raised hand. Then, he begins sending the chakra out from his body, and vibrates it. The strength and frequency of the vibrations causes the chakra to turn into a single concentration of lightning in front of him. Then, Ryu spikes the vibrations suddenly, and at the same time imagines a bolt of lightning within his mind, and uses shape manipulation to shape the concentration of lightning to shoot forward at the clone. The bolt of lightning shocks the clone, and it disappears not a moment too soon.

Uses:

This technique is quite a simple one, so it doesn't have too many advantages, but that also means it doesn't have too many disadvantages either. One of the good things about this technique is that it doesn't require seals, and that it is a pretty good technique when it comes to range. Also, this technique is quite fast, on top of not having any seals. However, it does need the use of one arm to perform, and thus the user won't be able to perform any techniques requiring seals. Also, since you're concentrating on creating the concentration of lightning that will be your form of attack, you won't be able to move. This will make you a target for your opponent to take full advantage of.

---

Technique 2

Holding his hand to his chest, his palms facing each other, Ryu then begins focusing his chakra into a single point within his body. Then, he sends the chakra to his hands once he had gathered the necessary amount. Then, he lets his left arm hang by his side, his right arm extended downwards at a 45 degree angle. From there, Ryu releases the chakra, using shape manipulation to ensure the chakra extends only a couple of metres from his hand, while vibrating the chakra to create lightning at the same time. As the chakra completes it's extension from Ryu's hand, a whip of lightning has formed in his hand. Ryu then whips his right arm upwards, sending the lightning whip flying towards the clone, shocking it lethally.

Uses:

This technique has a few uses, such as being able to immobilise and deal damage to the opponent simultaneously, using it to defend against techniques and other attacks like shuriken, and also using it to move yourself about the battle field. A neat little advantage is, you can't lose possession of this weapon unless it collides with a technique of sufficient force, so your opponent be taking it with quite shocking results. Also, this technique doesn't require seals which is a nice touch. Although, you won't be able to use techniques requiring seals while using this jutsu, nor will you be able to do anything with the hand that is holding the whip.

---

Technique 3

Charging chakra within his body, Ryu extends his right arm and opens his hand. Channelling the gathered chakra to his hand, Ryu then radiates the chakra out of his hand, using shape manipulation to keep the chakra close to his hand. He then vibrates the chakra and sends the chakra shooting forward, at the same time utilising shape manipulation. In doing this, Ryu creates a wolf made of concentrated lightning that runs towards the clone with terrifying speed. The wolf of lightning then bites the clone, electrocuting it.

Uses:

This technique requires no seals. That's probably the best thing about it, since this means you can create the lightning wolf very quickly, which will leave no room for the opponent to make mistakes when it is on the attack. Also, since this technique allows for such freedom with the wolf, you can use it to take out targets that are surrounding you, like clones or projectiles. However, it probably won't be able to take targets that are high in the sky or below you, since it is dependent on your awareness and control to work. Also, you won't be able to make quick or large movements when you're controlling this technique, since it requires focus and one arm to be occupied.

 

[Six Paths]

Satisfied from the performance I simply nod while smiling. Seems like he was well alright with the more work, but as it will cut down on time later on, this is a take off I was ready to embrace. So coming closer to him while smiling, I look at his eyes burning with enthusiasm as he performed everything fantastically. Without wasting time we continued.

Amazing job as always. Let us not waster time and continue like this. I am having fun. Onto the next set!!

(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.

Alright, this is a fairly simply technique. But considering what we have learned recently it is unique on it's own. So what I want you to do, is gather up chakra inside your stomach. After you are done with that, I want you to slowly transfer that chakra towards your mouth, as you create a huge chunk of chakra getting it ready. Whenever you want then, simply release the chakra, and with your shape manipulation form it into a spear. While you are at it, vibrate the chakra at high frequencies as you form that raw chakra image, into lightning. This jutsu is very quick and the range is enough to help you in every occasion. Try it out yourself.

I make a clone waiting for the attack.

(Raiton: Raiton Kage Bunshin) - Lightning Release: Lightning Shadow Clone
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: User creates a Shadow Clone of himself but made from lighting chakra. When the clone gets hit he will return to its previous state of pure lighting chakra. The clone has a physical substance and therefore is able to use ninjutsu and taijutsu techniques as well as he has all the normal moves the user has.
Note: Can only use lightning based techniques up to B rank.

Alright, what I am teaching you now, is an adaptation of one of the most useful jutsu in the entire Ninja world in my opinion. It is the technique which could be used with each technique, except a lightning variation of it. I want you to gather chakra, inside every chakra point in your body simultaneously and equally. Calm down and close your eyes. Know I want you to radiate that chakra, inside your right as you keep the chakra tightly together. With more usage of the shape manipulation, I want you to be able to mimic your own body in your right. The very same shape, height and looks. And with the nature manipulation, give this empty space of chakra lightning quantity. The further chakra control will create a clone, identical to you in any way, except it is a lightning based clone. This clone will be able to fight alongside you, and use up to B rank lightning jutsu, and if it engages the enemy into a fight, and it gets beaten...It can turn into a surge of lightning which will shock the target and hurt him badly, causing him to lose focus and giving you an opening. Use it and have a nice little brawl with my clone.

I make a clone wearing a green jumpsuit, as he takes a fighting position.

(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.

Alright, now the next one is fairly simple. I want you to take out your blade which is strapped in your back. And hold it in your dominant hand. When you do that, charge lightning chakra inside your body and close your eyes. This gathered chakra, you will send towards your hand holding the blade. Once your hand is filled with chakra, slowly transfer it over to your blade. The cold steel will be full of the chakra. I want you to them, leak that chakra a little through the blade, and with the shape manipulation keep it close to the blade, while with the nature one, you will form a lightning stream, which will be vibrating at high frequency. It will increase the blades cutting power greatly, very similar to a wind technique's cutting capabilities I may add. Use it out on my clone, and break his blade as he swings it towards you, with your enhanced lightning sword.

I make a clone with a sword in his hand, waiting to slash Ryu when he gives the sign.

 

[Goetia]

Technique 1

Ryu begins to gather and focus his chakra within his stomach as a large concentration of raw chakra. Then, he sends that mass of chakra to his mouth, preparing to release it. Then, he opens his mouth and manipulates it to leave his body. A moment after, he vibrates the concentration of chakra quickly and at a high level, using shape manipulation to further change the shape and properties of the chakra not just into lightning, but a thin but incredibly sharp and lethal spear of lightning that flies towards the clone at high speeds. The spear bursts through the stomach of the clone, and a few moments after, the clone poofs and disappears.

Uses:

This technique is quite interesting, since it's one of the only ones I've seen that is release from your mouth. This is quite advantageous, since it allows you to perform actions such as the formation of handseals or gripping and throwing weapons. Also, since this technique doesn't require seals, and the technique is only really visible after you use it, it's good for surprise tactics and other offensive strategies. Another good thing about this technique is that you can take multiple targets using this, and combined with it's massive range, this is a scary technique. Usually, it's nature as a spear attack would be a problem, since most attacks of similar method or nature are quite linear, but this technique doesn't suffer from that issue, as it can split into other spears as well. I can't really think of any disadvantages, other than the fact that while this technique is in use, any jutsu involving use of the mouth will not be usable.

---

Technique 2

Focusing his chakra to every point within his being, Ryu then manipulates the chakra to stay tightly bound together. Releasing the chakra from his body, he further manipulates it to the point where the chakra has mimicked his body features to the letter; height, appearance...everything. The only difference; it was made of lightning. The chakra seeps out from his body and moves to his left, and stands next to Ryu, mimicking his posture even. Both Ryu and his copy run towards the clone in front of them with a burst of speed, with the Lightning Release copy taking the lead. The copy hops slightly, using the time in the air to shift his body so that his opponent was facing the left side of him, and slides a little bit while crouching down. Then, the copy of Ryu springs of his left foot, kicking his right leg up into the air. This would cause his left leg and entire body to follow up, and the Lightning clone lifts his chest up to make his body position itself completely horizontal in the air. The clone's body spins through the air, and his right foot connects with the opponent clone's face, the copy of Ryu having performed a perfect Butterfly Kick. The clone lands swiftly and moves aside for the original Ryu to make his move. Ryu runs in close delivering a powerful uppercut with his right fist, sending the stunned clone a few metres into the air. Taking advantage of the situation, the Lightning clone jumps into the air after the clone, but shows no sign of making any offensive moves. The real Ryu, once the Lightning clone was level with the stunned clone his sensei had created, then silently commands the clone to disperse. As it does, the clone reverts into a mass of lightning, shocking the opponent clone lethally.

Uses:

One of the possible uses of this technique is shown in my performance of the technique. This jutsu is quite useful for combination strategies or other tactics that would normally require another person or ally to do. In my opinion, this is the most lethal and useful form of the Kage Bunshin technique, for the simple reasons that are:

1. It can perform Lightning techniques. Even if up to B-Rank, it's still formidable.

2. It can and will shock the opponent if they're close to it upon it becoming a mass of lightning.

Both of these qualities make it lethal at any range. Since it requires no seals, if you perform it outside of the opponent's line of sight, and they have no way of knowing that you created a Lightning clone and you then send it into CQC, that will be a nice tactic.

Reference to the move is here, you'll see it during the beginning and throughout the video:

Technique 3

Ryu, more than ready and willing to perform this technique, grips his Dragon Sword with his right hand and unsheathes it slowly, appreciating the danger the weapon was capable of creating. Holding the sword by his side, Ryu closes his eyes and charges his chakra within a single point in his body. Then, he streams it towards his arm and into his right hand, the Dragon Sword resting within his clenched fist. Then, he fills the katana in his hand with his chakra, and manipulates small amounts to seep out of the blade, though keeping it close. Ryu then vibrates the chakra intensely, causing a shroud of lightning to appear around the blade. The clone runs towards Ryu, but he shows no visible signs of fear, only that of seeming bloodlust. But in reality, it was just resignation to what he had to do. When the clone's sword came arcing down on his head, Ryu reflexively swung his sword up towards the opponent's blade, and it was sliced in half as if it were butter. Ryu then brings his sword down on the clone lightly, the sword still cutting through the clone with ease.

Uses:

Given it's properties of extra cutting ability, I'd say that this technique's strengths lie mostly in CQC situations. This technique will make you much more lethal in a close fight, and won't leave your opponent much room for error. However, there are a few disadvantages with this technique as well. One of them is the occupation of one hand. To maintain this technique, one must obviously have a sword in hand. While this does increase lethality in CQC, any techniques that require seals cannot be used. Also, constant manipulation of the chakra must be done, otherwise the technique will not work, unless of course it is self-sustaining and doesn't require constant shape manipulation.

Apologies for the late reply^^

The performance and explanation Ryu made, did make me feel very well. I was able to realise that he is growing reply after reply, and the one that he made now, was about the best one I have seen during the training. You could see that the ninja was serious about everything, but his intellect moreover was clearly at another level. Despite him being my student, he was on par with me. So not wasting time, I get close to him, as a clench my fist with a face full of enthusiasm I continue.

This was a showcase of your knowledge and skill. I have to say, I am satisfied more then ever with your replies. So we shall continue with this pace. I gotta say you are a very special individual. I bet you will become an amazing shinobi in the future. Just don't forget to treat your sensei with a coffee whenever you are free. Anyway, let's keep going.

(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.

Alrighty, this technique is fairly familiar to a technique that we have already learned. We can say that this is the very same skill, but with a boost in power. I want you to make the ram handseal and calm yourself. I want you to focus on every single tenketsu and mold chakra inside your body while keeping the balance clear. Then I want you to lift your hand up, and send your chakra towards it. As the chakra is inside your hand, just like before, start radiating your chakra towards the sky. It will have the shape of a continuous wave, while you will slightly vibrate it, giving it a very calm electromagnetic charge, and not really turning it into lightning. Then,when the lightning chakra is all set, you will gather chakra right over your opponent and have it materialize in form of a lightning discharge, a bolt which will fall down from the heavens, punishing those who cross you. Use it on my clone.

I make a clone waiting for you to Thor him.

(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.

Now I want you to take out 2 large windmill shuriken, while holding both of them in each hand. In that state, start gathering chakra inside your entity, until the required amounts needed are fulfilled. Then slowly, I want you to split that chakra in half, and send it to both of the shuriken in your hands. The moment that you are ready, I want you to throw that shuriken, but the moment you throw it, I want you to keep a piece of the chakra of the shuriken. This piece of chakra, as the shuriken gos to the location intended, will suffice as a way to change the natural manipulation in the shuriken's cutting edge and the shape manipulation to cover all the edges of the shuriken along the way. This lightning chakra, if it hits the enemy will be able to paralyze them, which is one other unique ability of lightning. But if they are fully hit from the shuriken itself, they of course die. This technique is mostly used to pin down enemies. To do that, aim at the non lethal areas, like the limbs.

I make a clone waiting for you, to paralyze it.

(Raiton: Rakurai Senkou) - Lightning Release: Thunderbolt Flash
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user releases a current of purplish lightning from their hands forward, damaging and knocking away enemies. The range of this technique is, however, limited.

Alright, this is actually a super simple technique. And a very vague explanation so i don't really know how good this could be used. What I want you to do is charge lightning chakra inside your body slowly, and as that is completed, extend your hands forward. You will radiate your chakra before you, with the shape manipulation you give it the shape of a current, like several lightning shocks, followed by an electromagnetic wave. Then I want you to use nature manipulation and turn this current of raw chakra into lightning. This will be done by super vibrating the chakra, but this time instead of blue lightning, you will form a purplish one. You can achieve that color by simply working on the frequency of the vibrations. The range is pretty limited though, sad thing... Use it on my clone.

I make a clone which comes dashing towards you.

 

[Goetia]

Technique 1

Performing the Ram seal, Ryu then manipulates and focuses his chakra into multiple separate points within his body, ensuring that the chakra concentration at each point remains stable and equal. Then, he raises right arm into the air, the palm of his hand open. He then releases the chakra within his body into the sky via his arm, vibrating it slightly to give it a small electromagnetic charge. Using shape manipulation, Ryu shapes the chakra into a continuous wave as it is sent into the sky. Then, manipulating the chakra again, Ryu channels his chakra directly over the opponent and spikes the vibrations on the chakra. The small electric charge on the chakra now turns into a more visible and powerful manifestation of that energy, that of lightning. Calling down the lightning, the bolt of electricity strikes down on the target.

Uses:

This technique is almost the same as another technique we went through previously. The difference between this technique and that one, is that this has a longer range. That being said, it still carries the same strengths, weaknesses, advantages and disadvantages. However, with this technique you can stretch the limits what you were previously limited by. One use this technique has that I previously did not see and overlooked was the fact that you could either launch attacks headed straight for the enemy, or pinpoint ones to eliminate outside factors or even alter the terrain.

---

Technique 2

Taking two large shuriken from his back, he whips his arms forward while still holding the shuriken, causing the shuriken to unfold and gain 3 blades more. Gathering chakra and focusing it within him, he then sends the chakra to both shuriken separately, the amount of chakra splitting itself equally between the two weapons. Throwing both the shuriken, Ryu manipulates the chakra so that a portion of it stays within his hands, and the other portion within the shuriken, but they are still connected. Then, he activates the chakra within the blades, vibrating the chakra at high frequencies. Almost immediately, both shuriken are coated within lightning and pierce the elbow joints of the opponent, pinning him to a large rock behind him. The numbing effect of the lightning takes effect fairly quickly, and the target is unable to move at all.

Uses:

This technique has a pretty decent range, combining this with strings and other mechanisms or techniques that allow for manipulation of the direction of the shuriken will prove most useful. This technique requires no seals, so activating the chakra to form the lightning can make for a nice surprise tactic. However, these are shuriken, so they won't be difficult to avoid or defend against, the lightning won't do much to increase the chances of it hitting the target. However, this will prove useful against Doton and Suiton techniques. Also, since jutsu requires you to constantly manipulate chakra to keep you and the shuriken connected, you won't be able to use jutsu requiring seals or perform any actions requiring the use of your arms.

---

Technique 3

Holding his hands up in front of him, his arms extended, Ryu then charges his chakra within his body. Then, having gathered enough chakra, he begins sending it to his hands, sending small amounts at a time seeping from the skin pores in his hands. Manipulating the chakra, he forms it into a wave of chakra, vibrating it slightly to give it an electromagnetic charge. After a few moments, Ryu vibrates the chakra a bit more intensely, but in a different way from before. This time, the lightning forms as a wave, but the colour of it is more likened to purple. The wave of lightning shocks the clone, and sends it flying back.

Uses:

This technique is...quite limiting in general, simply because of it's short range. However, this does not mean that it doesn't have it's uses. If it can repel solid objects, then that means it can be used to defend against techniques as well, not just enemies coming at you. Since it's a wave/current of lightning, there will be no gaps in the defence. However, you won't be performing techniques or actions requiring your hands since they'll be busy forming the lightning technique.

 

[Six Paths]

I was satisfied yet again. The well performance of Ryu was now simply becoming usual. And without knowing it, we were able to reach very far. The A ranks were now close at hand. Oly 2 jutsu were holding them back, so we were gonna finish these last 2 and continue forward.

I am just used to your perfect performances now, so this is case is no difference. I gotta say, great analysis at the electrical discharge technique, you could very well use it even for weapons thrown and you, and reduce them to dust. But without keeping you stuck, let us continue.

(Raiton: Purazuma Bōru) - Lightning Release: Plasma Ball
Rank: B
Type: Offensive, Defence
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20 (-5 per turn active)
Damage points: 40
Description: The user manipulating their chakra generates a plasma barrier around them to serve as a defence which protects them from incoming attacks, even from something as wide-ranged as the Quicksand Waterfall Flow. However the user cannot use other techniques besides lightning release or physical based techniques while sustaining the technique. The user can rush at their opponents even if the barrier is active and use it to ram against them. The shield can be used offensively, by discharging the electricity in the direction of their choice in a wave resulting in using the energy of the barrier and ending its effects.
Note: Technique remains active for 3 turns.

So what I want you to do now, is yet again charge equal amounts of chakra inside your own body. With your level of chakra manipulation that would take virtually no time. So right after that, Radiate your chakra all around you.Using your pores, that layer of chakra needs to be equal on each side. With your shape manipulation, make a sphere all around you. As the sphere took shape, I want you to vibrate your chakra all in one equal frequency. As you do that, you will create some kind of barrier, which is done with an electromagnetic field, similar to plasma itself. Now with this skill active, you can't use other elements, but lightning attacks. And one more useful thing would be that you can send this barrier, by discharging electricity in any side in short range, in form of a wave. Very useful if you ask me. Use both of those aspect, dodging one, and attacking one.

I make 2 clones, one which attacks you with earth stones and the other one which is simply standing close to you.

(Raiton: Kaminari no Shōgeki Ame) - Lightning Release: Lightning Shock Rain
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user manipulates their lightning chakra condensing into a orb of chakra and then releasing it into the air. The lightning orb will then remain in the air for several seconds releasing a continuous rain of lightning bolts shocking any enemy within the radius of the attack.
Note: Lasts only the turn in which its used.

Alright, the next one is a rather unique one if you ask me. Charge chakra inside your body, and when it is done. Right before you, start radiating it slowly. With the usage of the shape manipulation, I want you to start forming a sphere of your chakra, which would be compressed. Then with your lightning based chakra,start vibrating it, creating raw lightning. Ten simply send the sphere above the battlefield, about 5-10 m. Then I want you to break up your chakra into many bits, which will form small bolts of lightning, as it will release them all around you in a 360 degree manner. It would be very useful against a lot of enemies. Here, kill my clones using it.

I made 4 clones which are waiting.

 

[Goetia]

Technique 1

Gathering his chakra within a single point in his body and then spreading it equally throughout his body, Ryu then manipulates the chakra to form around him in a sphere shape using shape manipulation. As the chakra radiates from his body and forms the sphere around him, he steadily vibrates the chakra at a steady frequency, so as to not cause the lightning to fry him by exploding. The chakra then activates completely, and forms a bubble of electricity around him. As the blue lightning crackles around him, Ryu watches multiple earthen projectiles fly towards him. Standing still without flinching, the rocks simply dissolve upon hitting the shield. Then, Ryu starts sprinting towards the clone who attempted to attack him, the bubble of lightning still surrounding his being. Upon colliding with the lightning shroud, the clone is lethally electrocuted and dissipates quickly. Turning to face the other lone opponent, Ryu focuses all of the lightning shroud into a single wave of electricity using shape manipulation. Ryu then spikes the vibrations of the lightning, causing it to shoot forward at the clone at high speeds. As the distance is closed, the lightning wave shocks the clone and causes it to disappear.

Uses:

Again, this technique is similar to one that we have gone through before. Though, this technique has the advantage of being able to be used alongside other techniques simultaneously, though techniques are limited to Raiton and Taijutsu. Also, this technique can be used to deal with other targets such as projectile attacks or even people. Though, the wave of lightning is limited in range and won't do lots of damage. This technique can be used for both offensive and defensive purposes.

---

Technique 2

Ryu begins charging chakra within the center of his being, then starts radiating out in front of his body slowly. Utilising shape manipulation, he began to shape the chakra into that of a sphere, simultaneously vibrating it while shaping and compressing it. Moments later, the ball of chakra had become a sphere of electricity. Then, spiking the vibrations, Ryu sends the ball shooting high into the air. Then, once again using shape manipulation, Ryu transforms the sphere into multiple small bolts of lightning that rain down from the sky onto the clones below.

---

Uses:

This technique is mainly offence, since it doesn't seem to have any defensive capability at all due to the jutsu happening in the sky. Though, it would be useful in a situation where there are multiple enemies coming at you from the front. Though, this is also a problem, since it will prove dangerous to you as well if you attempt to attack targets around or near you, as you could get hit as well. Also, you will be open to attack while the orb of lightning prepares itself to rain down lightning. Though, since this technique requires no seals it won't take too long. Overall, it's a decent technique, but it won't have many uses outside of taking out more than a few targets.

 

[Six Paths]

Another amazing performance from Ryu, this was no longer surprising. You could clearly see he was talented with everything he was able to do. So not losing time, I continued further with the A rank techniques.

Alright, Let us continue now. We are finally at the a ranks, meaning we are close to finishing this training. The A ranks are a number of techniques strong enough....you could win against most of the earth techniques in existence. You need to be extreme cautions while using these because one moment of miscalculation...will be fatal not only for you but for everyone close to you. Get ready!

(Raiton: Raisogekishin) - Lightning Release: Lightning Rat Violent Quake
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: After performing the required hand seals Monkey → Ox → Boar → Tiger the user releases a discharge of electricity that shapes itself into several destructive disks of lightning. These are shot at the targets with great speed.

I want you to make 4 handseals and then charge chakra inside your body. Once the amount of chakra needed are gathered, radiate it all around yourself. Use your shape manipulation and then father your chakra in a few spots. Using the shape manipulation you shape these spots into disks. When you are done, vibrate your chakra turning all these disks into lightning and firing them at the enemy. They cannot be controlled midway, like an arrow they will go to the spot they were aimed in the beginning. Use this against my clones, aim carefully of course.

I make 3 clones standing in different places waiting for you to attack.

(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 → Rabbit → Monkey → Dragon → Rat → Bird → Ox → Snake → Dog → Tiger → 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.

Alright...one of the most iconic techniques of all. So this is a fairly complicated one. I want you to make a sequence of handseals which are Ox → Rabbit → Monkey → Dragon → Rat → Bird → Ox → Snake → Dog → Tiger → Monkey. Then put your left hand down while holding your wrist with the right hand. Now charge huge amounts of chakra inside your body sending it directly to your hand. Concentrate this chakra in the palm of your hands, but sometimes if was even seen in the fingers of the user. When you have charge the chakra inside the palm, start affecting the chakra with nature manipulation turning it into lightning. The small lightning sparks all around are not dangerous but they will vibrate the air all around, creating some kind of chirping sound. Then you simply run to the enemy and thrust this attack in their body. The cutting power of this technique is clearly insane. There...use it on my clone.

I make a clone waiting for you to attack it

 

[Goetia]

Technique 1

Quickly stringing together the Monkey → Ox → Boar → Tiger seals, I start charging my chakra within a single point inside of my body. Sending it into the surrounding air near my body, I utilise shape manipulation to separate the mass of chakra into several portions, and then vibrate the chakra at the same frequency at a consistent rate. Eventually, the chakra portions manifest themselves as several masses of lightning that hover in the air. Utilising further shape manipulation, the lightning concentrations begin to turn into disk-shaped objects. Having made several disks of lightning, I mentally command them to shoot forward. The lightning disks surge towards the clones you created, as if possessed by a vengeful spirit out for blood. Pierced and shocked by the disks of lightning, the clones disappear.

Uses:

Unlike some of the other projectile techniques before this one, this jutsu is capable of taking larger scale techniques as well. Though, this can also be used to deal with clones and weapons as well. The technique doesn't require concentration to manipulate (during the disks' flight), which in a way acts as a double-edged sword. This is a good thing because if the opponent manages to get the drop on you or distract you, the disks will still do their job. Even if you're occupied, the disks still have the potential to kill. This is also a bad thing, because of the fact that you cannot alter it's direction while it is flying. If your opponent is moving, this technique isn't likely to hit, since you cannot manipulate it once you have thrown it at the opponent. Nevertheless, it is a formidable jutsu.

---

Technique 2

Forming a long sequence of hand seals, Ox → Rabbit → Monkey → Dragon → Rat → Bird → Ox → Snake → Dog → Tiger → Monkey, I then hold my left hand open a few inches next to my face and grip the wrist of my left arm with my right hand. Then, I gather a large amount of chakra within my being, and then focus it towards my left hand. When the sufficient amount of chakra has been gathered in my hand, I then begin to focus it all onto the palm of my hand. Vibrating the chakra, sparks of lightning begin to appear around my hand. Eventually, the chakra completely activates and it manifests itself as lightning coated around my hand. Letting my right arm hang by my side, I run towards the clone before me, my left hand with the Chidori activated near my head. Reaching the opponent, I thrust my left hand straight towards the clone's chest, the penetration power of the lightning technique being so frighteningly potent that it allowed my hand to thrust all the way through it's body. The clone disappears soon after, the damage it sustained being too much for it to handle.

Uses:

Mainly a CQC technique honestly, as trying to use this by closing in from any further from short range will make you an easy target. Being that this technique requires a fair few hand seals to perform puts further emphasis this risk. Also, you won't be able to perform any seals or actions that require two hands (with some exceptions), since the lightning can potentially shock you as well, leaving you open. In CQC, this technique will make you very dangerous, as a direct hit from this will most likely result in the opponent's death.

 

[Six Paths]

Nodding after seeing the performance I continue with the next set. This young boys talented was clearly showing this afternoon as he was training. With a cold breeze of wind pushing me from the back it was a sign in some way or another to continue and finish this. Smiling upon the way i always think, I continue.

Performance was quite excellent once again, I especially loved Chidori, you looked very similarly to a scarecrow I once knew. But let us keep going with the next 3 techniques. So here we go.

(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 successful but is ineffective against bios who have a primary Lightning Specialty

Alright, this is one of the variants of chidori. To use this technique like with every technique you need to charge chakra inside your body, but mostly, this technique involves using all the chakra points in your body. It relies on using the lightning into an unfocused manner all around, which is omnidirectional. But this technique is not only used that way. You can even charge it into a weapon or a kunai and the moment that it comes into contact with a bod, it will give not a harmful effect, like cutting, killing or shocking, rather...it is a numbing effect and paralyzation. Another usage this technique is known for, is for breaking free of genjutsu which you are casted on, but which also have a restricting effect. It can only break up though, B rank genjutsu. One rank below the jutsu itself. I will cast a genjutsu upon you and you will break it free.

I make one handseal sending chakra into your brain changing your location from the normal training field, into a desert full of golden sand.

(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 into 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.

Alright, this is a rather easier technique and fairly generic. You will make 3 handseals and place your hands into the ground as you convert your chakra into lightning and slowly send it into the ground. From there, an enormous bolt of lightning will ripple through the ground in the direction that you are aiming for. The shape of the lightning is triangular and the tip will continue forward while the base remains on your side. It will destroy almost everything it comes into contact. Use it on my clone.

I make a clone standing firm, waiting for your attack.

 

[Goetia]

OOC: Ryu bio has been dropped, so I'm going to switch to Aizen.

---

Walking into the training grounds, Aizen studied the scenery with an expressionless face. But he was not there to study the scenery or anything as trivial as that, he was there to train. To become stronger. As that crossed his mind, Aizen spotted a man nearby. Walking over to him just in time to hear his teacher's instructions. Not wasting any time, he launched straight into what he was told to do.

Technique 1

Focusing all of his chakra to every single point within his body, Aizen charges it for a few moments to gather the necessary amount. Then, he sends it out to surround his body but not too closely, instead letting it stay somewhat near. Then, he vibrates it suddenly at high frequencies, and causes the chakra to activate so forcefully, that it turns into lightning and immediately discharges outwards from his position. The lightning forms a field around him, threatening to shock anything that comes close enough to him. To maintain the discharge of lightning, Aizen continues to send out chakra and vibrate it, creating more discharged lightning to erupt around him. Due to the massive surge of chakra within his body, the world around him begins to morph and change. Once, his surroundings were that of golden sand and blinding to the eye. Then, the environment became relaxing and calm, the way it was before the Genjutsu was cast upon him.

Uses:

This technique is versatile, since it allows one to break Genjutsu, protect oneself from attacks and even use it to attack or augment offensive capability. Since this jutsu requires no seals to perform, it is quick and even those capable of detecting the chakra build up and surge before hand will have little time to react in a CQC situation. This technique is also useful for limiting the opponent's movement, as it has the capability to paralyse and numb the opponent due to large amounts of electrocution. The range would usually be a problem, but the fact that Nagashi can be channelled through a medium such as the ground to increase it's AoE makes this issue seem somewhat trivial. Coming back to it's ability to break Genjutsu...this ability has it's limits. Only Genjutsu up to B-Rank can be broken, excluding ocular Genjutsu that stem from the Mangekyō Sharingan and higher stages of it's evolutionary line.

---

Technique 2

Chaining together a sequence of 3 hand-seals, Aizen slams his hands on the ground before him. Channelling his chakra from his circulatory system through his arms and out from his hands, the chakra makes its way into the ground beneath Aizen. At this point, Aizen begins vibrating the chakra, causing the chakra to activate and manifest itself as a large triangle-shaped mass of lightning. The lightning ripples through the ground, destroying the earth in it's path and leaving behind nothing but rubble and debris as well as a large path carved into the earth where the lightning surged through, and eventually reaching the clone. The lightning consumes and annihilates the clone as well as some of the surrounding earth, causing the replication to dissipate instantly.

Uses:

As you have said yourself, this technique is simple. However, it is quite effective. Since it is ground based, earth based techniques used to protect oneself won't have that great of an effect. It's range makes it even more dangerous as well. The heat it generates will be enough to evaporate, at the very least, some water it may potentially come into contact with, creating a cover for any possible moves you may have in mind for executing. However, since this technique requires seals and occupation of your hands, it is not the fastest nor the safest one to perform.

 

[Six Paths]

Seeing Ryu leave, I make one handseal and grow an earth pillar right below me, which lifted me up into the air. Making one step forward into nothing, I begin falling until I connect with the pillar with my behind coming into a nice sitting position. From there I hake a pack of cigars from my pocket as I take a lighter right after it. Opening the pack and placing on cigar between my lips, I pull the box back as I close it and light it. Inhaling once I release the smoke from my nose as I look down to a figure which took my attention. A tall, good looking man which started performing the techniques. He was showing true skill in seconds, without knowing what training he received before I make one sign with my hand. The rock pillar started moving in response to it, starting to come lower. As he performed everything and gave his insights, I was astonished, but on the outside he was showing no expression. Understanding that this person might be my new student....I begin.

Truly unbelievable. You understood everything and performed everything so greatly. I am surprised...Well I must consider you are the person Ryu talked about, so we can continue of course. Alright, as I said, amazing job so far. Let us continue with the next set.

(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.

One of the other chidori variants and truly unique on it's own. First seen used by Sasuke Uchiha, This technique will begin like any other, with charging lightning into your body. Now, as the amounts correspond to those needed for an A rank, send your chakra towards your arm and hand. When done, start using nature manipulation and shape manipulation keeping lightning very close to your hand for a while. The sound of chirping will follow as always. Now, just after waving your hand, release your chakra along the way. Break up everything and shape them into small needles which you call senbons. These senbons have the same numbing and paralyzing effect and are extremely precise. Use it on my clone.

(Raiton: Sanda Appu) – Lightning Release: Thunder Up
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user concentrates a lot of lightning chakra into their hand, compressing it into a ball of lightning energy. The user can then hurl it at the enemy or trust it forward in a melee attack. Once the ball hits the target, it expands into a massive lightning explosion.

This technique is another very unique one. You will just as before charge chakra in your hand. But unlike before, this time, radiate your chakra outside of your body, but compress it down to your hand, which needs to be clenched into a fist. When the shape manipulation is implemented, vibrate your chakra at insane speeds, creating lightning. this lightning will show no signs of any kind of sparks, it should just be a ball of condensed lightning chakra into a fist. Noe you can do 2 things with it. One example would be when you fire it forward in form of a projectile. It will explode with whatever it comes into contact. And one more thing you can do it actually punch with it, releasing the lightning explosion right before you. Do take care though, it could hurt you along with it. Use it on my clone in it's punching form.

I make a clone right before you, waiting for his imminent fate.

Technique 1

Aizen begins charging his chakra within a single point in his body, moulding it as well. Then, he sends the moulded chakra into his left arm and hand. Radiating the chakra through his hand, the chakra stays close via shape manipulation. Then, he begins vibrating the chakra to create a mass of lightning around his hand. After a few moments of stabilising the chakra, the chirping begins. Aizen then swings his arm in a wave motion, and in that moment he uses shape manipulation to separate the lightning into many different portions, each in equal size. Then, using further shape manipulation, shape the flying lightning into needles that fly towards the clone running in erratic patterns. Majority of the senbon catch him while he is running, and he begins to slow down as a result of the paralysis effect that comes from being pierced by these needles. Eventually, a few needles find their way into the middle of his forehead and neck, which causes the clone to dissipate.

Uses:

This technique may not possess that much raw power, but what it lacks in offense it makes up for in speed, precision and it's paralysis capability. Due to being so small, using these attacks on an unsuspecting enemy can possibly go unnoticed, because its a subtle technique in comparison to the other Chidori variants. It requires no seals to be performed, which is a nice touch. Also, these needles can be used to strike vital spots or tenketsu, which makes up for needing to do so via CQC. And because of how precise they are, they won't be easy to avoid. Needless to say, this technique proves to be a good offense, but it lacks a sound defense.

Technique 2

Focusing all of his chakra into his right hand, Aizen then radiates the chakra through his hand so that the chakra stays close. Then, he begins vibrating the chakra at incredibly high speeds, creating a pure shroud of lightning chakra. Rushing foward with the ball of lightning chakra around his hand, Aizen reaches sufficient distance form the clone and takes a punch at the clone's face. Upon connecting, the blow causes a contained explosion when Aizen spikes the vibrations once more. The clone is sent flying backwards due to the force of the explosion. If the explosion had not been contained, Aizen would've been caught in the blast as well.

Uses:

This technique mainly has the same advantages and disadvantages as Chidori, but it has a range advantage which makes it much more safe to use. While it cannot do the same amount of damage a Chidori can, it certainly is capable of harming the opponent lethally in CQC or if they get hit by the technique. However, due to the explosive nature of the technique, it is dangerous to you if you aren't careful. Overall, its a simple but effective jutsu.
