It causes devastating destruction on its way and generates enough heat and power to destroy whatever it comes into contact with.
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: 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.
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.
