[Rebirth of Power] Lightning Release

Serpent · Jun 7, 2014

Perform the technique: Hei, creates the "ram" handseal and focuses his chakra as he raises his right hand into to the sky. This creates an electrical discharge that is released down upon your location.
Creative uses/strengths: Can be useful with a Clone as you said, or at anytime the opponents vision is hindered. Able to attack from a different angle.
Drawbacks/counters:Requires the transfer of chakra into the sky, causing the overall time it takes this jutsu to be elongated. Multiple wind Jutsu or evasive Jutsu can be used to counter this technique.

Perform the technique: Hei once again focuses chakra into his hands and pushes forward releasing a purplish array of lightning capable of knocking opponents backwards.
Creative uses/strengths: Can be mixed with multiple Taijutsu attacks and with fast delivery.
Drawbacks/counters: Limited range requiring for close combat. Is able to be blacked with speedy with Jutsu and some Taijutsu will be able to divert the pathway in which this technique is released.

Perform the technique: Hei grabs a windmill shuriken and focuses his chakra into it, Hei then throws the Shuriken at a target while simultaneously using his chakra control to maintain a line with the shuriken in order to deliver an electrical shock upon delivery. This shock is capable of causing paralyses
Creative uses/strengths: Try and use this Jutsu when in an opponents blind spot. Has a decent numbing/paralyzing factor
Drawbacks/counters: Maintains connection to the shuriken can give away your location and make you subjective to water element.

( Raiton: Purazuma Boru ) - 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.

A brilliant defensive technique, withdraw backs. Now the user will quickly generate a plasma ball around their whole body. This ball is powerful enough to take in some strong attacks as well as projectile attacks. This is great to focus on the offense instead of needing to look to defend, you will always have upper hand on the opponent. A huge disadvantage is you can only use lightning jutsus as well as physical based jutsus. You can move around the terrain normally even if the plasma is active, giving a very mobile feel to it. Also if an opponent touches the plasma ball or tries to get close they will be shocked, also meaning you have an advantage in close range battle and force a opponent to push back. Lastly to conflict a serious blow, the user can release the energy of the ball which, if it hits the opponent, can cause serious damage towards him. It can only go up to short range the blast and the ball will disperse when you use the blast. If you don't and want to keep it full on, it lasts only 3 turns.

( Raiton: Kaminari no Shogeki 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 continous rain of lightning bolts shocking any enemy within the radius of the attack.
Note: Lasts only the turn in which its used.

A good technique the user will condense a orb of lightning into their hands and release it into the sky. The ball will have built up energy and quickly after condensing it they will send the ball into the sky above the opponents area. After a few seconds (3-5 seconds) the ball will release its energy into countless needles which rain down upon the opponent, it acts as a way to pierce and shock the opponent. Now do not use this close to you. The bolts shoot everywhere short range within the radius its placed. So if you are in the radius it might hurt you to since the bolts shoot randomly. Also the rain goes down for one whole turn this makes it very tough for the opponent, its best you destroy the orb as soon as possible.

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.

This jutsu is simple projectile technique which allows for combos to be in use which this can be used as a flanking jutsu or a distraction. The user after 4 hand seals will generate from their hands lightning which they send towards the opponent and mold it into a very sharp disk. You can send more then one disk; they are very fast and destructive, this is because of how thin and sharp they are. It can easily cut through some of the hardest materials like rock and wood. It also has a shocking property like any other lightning. Each disk you send the more weaker they get though you can send a rapid amount to make evasion tough. You can send one disk and use another technique, its mobility is up to you to decide on where you want to aim and what to use for. Its range is limited to only up to mid range. Ways to counter this jutsu is over power it with lightning blade that can easily cut it as well as send a attack. Wind blade attacks can work as well.

Serpent · Jun 10, 2014

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra and forms a short ranged barrier around himself, much like a bubble sphere. Hei then Jumps up and Releases this sphere as a wave of electrical chakra that smashes into the near by ground causing it to crumble before landing again.
Creative uses/strengths: Good against appropriate Jutsu of the correct ranks and extremely useful against Taijutsu users.
Drawbacks/counters: Limited to Lightning Ninjutsu and some forms of physical technique's.

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra creating an orb of Electricity. This orb is then launched of into the air where it begins releasing a barrage of lightning bolts which litter a mid ranged area.
Creative uses/strengths: Setting this technique off and then retreating underground would be useful. Can attack multiple targets.
Drawbacks/counters: Run's a risk of harming allies or even ones self.

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra, while making four handseals, this creates a mass of electricity that is discharged at a far tree line. As the lightning traves, it forms into several disks that slice though multiple trees.
Creative uses/strengths: Is able to target multiple opponents with great speed.
Drawbacks/counters: exposes one's self to threat of water and/or related Jutsu while first discharging the jutsu.

(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

The famous chidori. The user will do 11 hand seals and generate the chidori into one of their hands by gather raiton chakra into their favorited hand. Now I don't think their is much for me to say that you might not already know since it is one of the most famous jutsus in the canon list. The chidori is a very destructive melee attack jutsu, one hit and the opponent will receive terrible damage, not only can it pierce the opponent it will numb the area hit, so if the opponent does survive he will have a tough time to move around with pace depending on where it is hit as well. For example hitting the opponent on the shoulder would result in them not doing hand seals anymore because they would not be able to feel their arm and move it. The chidori has a sound to it, which sounds like one thousand birds chirping, you can hear it easily so you can anticipate the attack so its not a snick attack jutsu to use. The chidori only works in close range but there are many varients of the technique. Other things to mention is how those hand seals can be a problem, but when you master lightning you will be able to perform it with one hand seal so it will be much more quicker. Sasuke and Kakshi bios can do it with no hand seal at all.

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

Another known jutsu by all which was used by sasuke. The user will send non-focused lightning chakra through the entire body first and release it towards the opponent, depending on how you release it makes the difference of how this technique works. If you use the ground as a medium it will begin to crack through the ground and race towards the opponent in attempt to paralyze them, not kill though but its numbing ability is very strong. When channeled short range it covers the whole radius of short range so it is great to use in close range battle to push an opponent back or combine with taijutsu attack, if you send it at a opponent from mid-range it travels straight as a projectile on the ground or anything that can conduct lightning. You can also channel it through metal giving it a shocking potent ability to the metal which can cut better and numb the opponent if hit with it, this is a much more powerful method with the nagashi but their are other techniques similar to this ability. Despite it not having much damage to an opponent it can still cut through many tough material like rock and wood. Now having the benefit of specilizing lightning is if you are ever struck by the nagashi you will not be paralyzed but you can still feel the pain which might make you lose some balance or hesitate but nothing more. Simple ways to counter this technique is to manipulate the ground if it is channeled you can lower it so the medium becomes longer in range so it will disperse before it touches you. Others counters are quite obivous.

(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.

After a small set of hand seals the user will place their hands on the ground and send a electrical surge through the ground cracking and tearing it through. It cuts through the ground all the way towards an enemy. The shape of bolt is triangular. The base will be in the direction of the user, while the tip towards the enemy. Now its a very powerful technique able to easily destroy the ground and tear through many dense material like wood and earth. A huge downside is it moves quite slow since it takes up a shape of a triangle. The bolt will easily be heard when ripping through the ground, its also straightforward since you know the tip will attack the opponent, lastly you must keep your hand on the ground until the tip hits the opponent for if you don't it will disperse making it a streaming technique. When it does the opponent will be seriously wounded and down due to the destructive shock. Simple ways to counter is something similar to the nagashi by manipulating the ground to lower or higher the medium will be longer. The range goes only mid range in length.

Serpent · Jun 11, 2014

Perform the technique: Hei makes eleven handseals while focusing his chakra into his left hand, condensing it in his palm. The sound of hundreds of birds charping can be heard as the lightning crackles. Hei then slams his hand through a tree before pulling his hand back out.
Creative uses/strengths: Chidori has multiple methods of use, as seen in the anime and manga. It's effective against slower opponents close combat.
Drawbacks/counters: Chifori's weakest drawback is that it focuses all it's energy into one's hand, being most useful in close range, this means that, if the opponent is faster, the user is open for attack while focusing his chakra at one point, leaving his body open.

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra and then releases a 360 degree field of unfocused lightning chakra up to a short ranged area... Hei then stops, regathers himself and then focuses once again, this time releasing the chakra into the ground, nulling the ground up to a Mid ranged area.
Creative uses/strengths: Like Chidori, it has multiple methods of use, most notable are stared in it's description. It can be used as a field up to short ranged or be sent though a medium up to mid ranged.
Drawbacks/counters: One of the highest risk lightning jutsu's when faced with suiton possibilities.

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra while making a short sequence of handseals and then slams his hand on the ground sending an enormous bolt of electricity slicing though the ground. This bolt then hits and obliterates a tree mid ranged away.
Creative uses/strengths: Quick to use and mininal risk with ground contact compared to other technique as it's properties would render most earthen techniques useless.
Drawbacks/counters: Not useful on a water source and provides targets to easily defend if not hindered by another technique.

(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.

Its fairly simple but nice, with one hand seal the user will gather their raiton chakra into their hands and condense it creating the chidori. They will then raise the chidori high and release its energy which in turn release multiple needles which can pierce through an opponent and paralyze that area hit.This is a great distracting technique since it fires from all over the place it would be very tough on an opponent to dodge them and blocking is just as tough since their is a constant fire of them being released. Its fast and easy to perform. A downside is you must keep focused on the chidori to contently send the senbons towards the opponents area. So I recommend creating a clone, if you have the training of course to send a straight attack to hurt the opponent. Note you are also a target for water jutsus, so expect the opponent to use a water jutsu on you for if the palm with the chidori is wet the lightning will go crazy and shock your entire arm or body depending on just how much water is used.

(Raiton: Sanda Appu) – Lightning Release: Thunder Up
Rank: A
Type: Offence
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.

Very simple technique. The user will gather lightning chakra in their favorited hand and condense while molding it all in one ball of lightning. The user will then release its energy towards the opponent causing a explosion around them, which can shock the opponent and push them back with some force. Now you can send it from mid range by throwing it at the opponent and as it makes its way have the explosion occur, that is the projectile based attack and simple ways to counter include trying to overpower it. The other method is by thrusting it towards the opponent as a melee attack which can explode on the opponents body. It is a much more dangerous technique because you have to get close to the opponent and you will be open for water attacks.

(Raiton: Jūrokuchū Shibari) – Lightning Release: Sixteen-Pillar Bind
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short – Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: After performing the needed hand seals Rat → Monkey → Horse → Tiger the user will create a even more powerful version of Lightning Release: Four Pillar Bind. Using this technique, the user creates sixteen giant pillars by using his lightning chakra to shape the ground into a multitude of pillars, which then form a giant cubic oven to trap the enemy. It is often used after Earth Release: Mud Fall to cover the enemy target in mud and then follow up with using Fire release: Firing Biscuit, creating flames in the oven to roast and harden the mud, immobilizing the enemy.

Funny technique since it does not generate any lightning whatsoever but it can work with combos and is very large. The user will have 16 pillars rise around the opponent after performing 3 hand seals which wrap around to create a box almost to trap anything within it. Its large enough to trap a summon or many opponents all in once so it can help with combo attacks or trapping plans. The bind has a small box which you can send techniques in to finish an opponent off. The pillars are made of earth with that being said wind can slice it through very easily or use a lightning jutsu to destroy it. If you are ever caught in the box you can evade from under the box. The pillar creates a huge box which covers a very long range so it can be used anywhere. Simple to say it does take some time for it to fully rise around the opponent making a time window you can use to evade the pillars. I recommend while you use it for yourself try to distract the opponent while raising it but you will need to remain focus. So having a ally to help will be best.

Serpent · Jun 11, 2014

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra while making evelen handseals and forms a chidori in his hand, by further manipulating his chakra, Hei flings his hand forward. This releases the chidori as multiple electrical senbon which pierce right though a near by tree.
Creative uses/strengths: Depending on the users mastery of Lightning, this jutsu is able to be used with great speed and is extremely effective in close combat.
Drawbacks/counters: Requires the user to be a master of lightning release in order to use it to it's fullest potential.

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra forming a sphere of lightning chakra in his hand, Hei then throws the sphere at a near by tree, where it then expands in an electric explosion.
Creative uses/strengths: Can be used effectively with a fare amount of speed and is useful in both short and long range.
Drawbacks/counters: If used in short range, one runs the risk of hurting themselves.

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra into the ground, using electrical manipulation to carve and use the earth to form multiple large pillars that create a cubic oven of sorts.
Creative uses/strengths: Best used with the combo listed in it's description.
Drawbacks/counters: seeing that the user is using lightning to manipulate the earth, It takes slightly longer then an earth technique. Allowing for a longer time period for escape then similar earth technique.
Question(s): Are you sure this Jutsu doesn't release lightning within it once formed? similar to it's parent jutsu "Lightning Release: Four Pillar Bind"?

Noni · Jun 11, 2014

Question(s): Are you sure this Jutsu doesn't release lightning within it once formed? similar to it's parent jutsu "Lightning Release: Four Pillar Bind"?

Its a super weird jutsu, but yep no chakra was seen in the making of this technique. BTW open your vms

(Raiton: Chidori Eiso) - Lightning Release Chidori Sharp Spear
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user increases the range of their Chidori by using form manipulation to extend it into a blade up to 10 meters in length. This blade is capable of splitting into multiple additional blades upon contact with an enemy, drastically increasing the number of wounds it can inflict. Like other Chidori-related techniques, this jutsu will numb its target upon contact but unlike others, seems to focus more on having a cutting power, like a katana, than a piercing one. Because of its cutting abilities, it often seems to manifest a certain "solidity"; a tangible aspect.

The user will form a chidori which he then thrusts it releasing it forward to summon a spear to erect out of the chidori. The spear is very useful to keep a distance away from an opponent as well as combo with attacks in close range by distracting them with the spear and then get in close, it also acts as a normal chidori which on contact will numb the area of the opponent if caught. You can wield the spear with great ease so you can aim it however you want, it can cut through the most solid materials as well. Its great to use to finish an opponent off, and the spear when release forward is actually quite quick so it can be used to decive an opponent. The spears also after piercing an opponent can release more spears at the tip to completely destroy the opponent from the inside.

(Raiton: Rairyu no Tatsumaki) - Lightning Release: Thunder Dragon Tornado
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user forms a whirling vortex of wind and electricity around themselves. The vortex will take on the form of a dragon’s head and will cover the area in front of them. Even if the attack doesn't directly connect with his foe, the lightning can jump from the vortex to hit a nearby target.

The user will release wind chakra and spin it around like a vortex, then add lightning on the edge of the wind chakra not touching one another but acting to make layers. The wind acts as a base while the lightning is on top. Now the vortex can be a barrier and a attack all at the same time because it can intercept basic attacks as well as be sent to the opponent. Its projectile based when launched but needs to remain focus while performing it or else it will disperse, though its quick performance with no hand seals. The best part is if a opponent tries to evade the lightning can be manipulated and jump out the vortex to shock a evading opponent almost to act as deception. It inflicts serious shock and pain like any other normal attack. This technique is very harmful with fire techniques, since fire will act to phase around the lightning it can feed on the fuuton chakra and over power it so be weary of fire jutsus, that can also make of a great combo as well.

( Raiton: Denpō Sekka ) – Lightning Release: Telegram Flash
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: After doing the Rabbit → Rat → Horse → Ram hand seals, the user will slam his hand on the ground and release into it a massive amounts of lightning chakra which will then pool beneath his opponent before releasing itself into a gigantic column of lightning which shocks anything caught above it. The technique can affect a bigger or smaller area depending on the users will.

Very similar to jutsus we have already seen in reality I don't see much of a difference. The user will do the required hand seals and gather raiton chakra, then after slamming on hand on the ground the user will release the lightning to the opponent which will act to pool under him paralyzing the opponent on contact then after it gathers it will erupt in a giant column which will shock the opponent. Like the other similar techniques it creates large sound and can easily destroy hard material. It moves up to mid range at most as well but can be used in short to, though I don't recommend it. This is great to use though with large summoning or slightly airborn animals since it erupts in a column.

Serpent · Jun 11, 2014

Perform the technique: Hei creates eleven handseals creating a chidori in his hand and then extends it outwards. Hey then swings his arm slicing a tree in half.
Creative uses/strengths: Self explanatory Jutsu, this is another seen several times in the anime/manga and can be used multiple ways.
Drawbacks/counters: Limited range and can be seen easily so long as there isn't another hindrance to an opponent.

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra forming a vortex of electrified wind around himself in a short ranged area. Hei then releases the lightning outwards affecting a mid ranged area.
Creative uses/strengths: Covers multiple ranges and is a quick and efficient defense.
Drawbacks/counters: if an opponent adds water into the vortex, the user runs the risk of shocking themselves.

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra while making 4 handseals, he then proceeds to place his hands on the ground releasing and pooling a mass of chakra in the ground before releasing it as a mega column of lightning to his left.
Creative uses/strengths: Can be used to send chakra into the ground nulling earth jutsu
Drawbacks/counters: takes time to pool enough chakra for the attack.

( Raiton: Fusei Shuriken Chidori Jutsu ) - Lightning Release: Rigged Shuriken One Thousand Birds Style
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user will utilize a large shuriken and channel a chidori into it. The user will then throw the shuriken charged with chidori towards the opponent resulting in paralysing them on impact. (paralysis lasts for 1 turn)
Note: Must Know Chidori

Okay the user will take out a large shuriken and channel the chidori into the shuriken which will appear as a bright blue lightning current running through it. It takes up the abilities of a normal chidori, the user will send it towards the opponent by throwing it. If it makes contact with the opponent it will paralyze the opponent as well as pierce them like any other normal shuriken would. Now this is a obvious projectile technique and is limited to only mid range. The shuriken uses the air as a medium of travel of course and it is quite fast moving but nothing that can't be handled. Lastly simple ways to counter can be a dense wall or trying to evade it will a earth pillar to push you to the side since it is a straightforward technique.

After you do this, VM Dork, with the link of the thread so he can wrap up your training.

Serpent · Jun 11, 2014

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra into a large shuriken, This causes the shuriken to take in some aspects of Chidori. Hei then throws it at a tree causing it to stab into it like normal but electrical current shoot though the tree leaving it damaged. If it where a human target, it would surly have paralysis.
Creative uses/strengths: Can be targeted upon a water source shocking near by targets within. can be used rather fast.
Drawbacks/counters: Basic technique with little draw backs, only that it's speed isn't increased much so it can be countered rather easily.

Okay, I'll go ask Dork.

(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.

With one hand seal the user will generate lightning chakra on their hands and release the lightning and mold it into a spear. This is very similar to the B-Rank False darkness spear. The spear though is much more powerful and runs much quicker then its weaker counter part, its attack potency is high and can pierce through even the strongest of earth material. The spear acts to pierce the opponent and paralyze them at the same time due to natural ability of lightning. The technique has great mobility being able to move up to long range and you can aim it anywhere. The spear can only be cut away using a equal rank lightning jutsu or dispersed by a wind technique of at least A-Rank. Lastly the spears can split on the users command to deceive this can be used to decieve an opponent as well as attack more then one target. Though remember the more you make the more each get weak. Its a fast performance technique, projectile based technique as well which helps in combos but this also makes the spear quite straightforward so you can easily have the time to evade.

(Raiton: Raikiri) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blade
Rank: S
Type: Offense
Range: Short (Long if applied to a projectile weapon)
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Description: The Lightning Cutter is an enhanced and concentrated form of the Chidori with the same effects and drawbacks that is done performing the Ox → Rabbit → Monkey hand seals. According to Might Guy, it gained its name after Kakashi split a bolt of lightning with it. Because the Chidori is already powerful on its own, the Lightning Cutter requires better chakra control, which is exemplified in its appearance. The Chidori appears as simply a mass of white electrical chakra in the user's hand, while the Lightning Cutter is much more focused. Kakashi has shown different ways of forming and using the Lightning Cutter, unique to him. For example, he demonstrated the ability to imbue a projectile weapon, such as a kunai, with his Lightning Cutter, granting the technique long-range capabilities by throwing the kunai towards his target. In this instance, the kunai was capable of piercing through multiple large rocks with ease, without any loss of momentum or change in trajectory.
Note: Kakashi biographies can use the technique without hand seals.
Note: Only Kakashi biographies can apply the technique to a kunai and use it as a projectile attack.

I'll be explaining this technique as if you have a regular bio and not a kakashi bio. The user will do 3 hand seals and create a serious condensed amount of raiton which appears almost completely white. It has a serious amount of power so much though that it can cut through actual lightning making it one of the most powerful techniques in the lightning jutsu list its power is so noticable you can hear the lightning current as well as see the lightning revolve around the user due to the insane concentration. It is mainly used as a melee weapon great for close range battle, it is the type of technique a opponent does not want to get close to, it can easily be used in combo with other close combat attacks like taijutsu, or hold a sword in the other hand to always keep up to battle in close range. This technique has the ability to cut through many dense objects. In short it is very similar to chidori but in a more advanced form.

(Raiton: Raikiri Nibai Raikou Jishin) – Lightning Release: Lightning Blade Double Lightning Quake
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description: The user performs (Raiton: Raikiri) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blade and splits it in two, covering both hands in Lightning. He will then perform a melee attack at the enemy, unleashing the powerful lightning into him.

So, this technique is very similar to the Raikiri you just did. First, you create a Raikiri (using Raikiri's handseals), and then place your other hand by your lightning-charged palm, splitting the Raikiri into two, allowing you to essentially hold two Chidori as you cut it's power in half when you cut it in half. Using this technique doesn't count as two techniques, one for Raikiri and one for this; just one jutsu for this one. This technique allows you to turn hand-based taijutsu into powerful lightning strikes with both of your hands, instead of simply having your one hand with lightning in it. Now, depending on the situation, this technique and regular Raikiri or even Chidori could be favored or the other; it's all situational. But the one thing to remember about this jutsu is that it's more like two Chidori than two Raikiri, as you have to cut it's power when you divide it among your two hands.

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra while making a single handseal. Hei then releases a powerful bolt of lightning from his hand in the shape of a spear, this bolt obliterates a tree, mid ranged away.
Creative uses/strengths: Can be used fairly quickly with a high power output and efficient speed. Able to target multiple opponents.
Drawbacks/counters: few drawbacks other then the standard lightning weaknesses.

Perform the technique: Hei makes 3 handseals and focuses his chakra into his right hand, forming a condensed form of lightning.
Creative uses/strengths: A more effective form of Chidori.
Drawbacks/counters: short ranged technique requiring handseals, might not be the best idea against a Taijutsu master.

Perform the technique: With the Raikiri in his hand, Hei places his other hand in it and splits the Raikiri into two parts, effectively manipulating two "chidori" in both his hands.
Creative uses/strengths: Is more effective then the regular Raikiri as it provides multiple angles of attack in close range.
Drawbacks/counters: Is not able to defend as well making it less ideal for defending Jutsu like False Darkness

Wow... your posts are so.... minimal. .-.

(Raiton: Kirin) - Lightning Release: Kirin
Rank: S
Type: Offense
Range: Mid-Long
Chakra Cost: 70
Damage Points: 120
Description: After using a fire jutsu to heat the atmosphere and create thunderclouds in the sky, the user will use Chidori to take control of the lightning above. They can then make the lightning strike an opponent in the blink of an eye.
Note: Can only be avoided with time/space techniques or otherwise absolute defenses.
Note: Can only be used once per battle.
Note: In the turn before the use of Kirin, the user must have used at least a B-Rank, Long Range Fire (Katon) technique directed at the sky.
Note: User needs to post Chidori, meaning that in the turn Kirin is used, the user spends 2 moves.

So, one of the most powerful Raiton techniques in the series: Kirin. Of course, you must have used a fire technique to heat up the sky to create stormy conditions in order to bring down a bolt of lightning in the first place. A couple things to note about this technique: the first is that after using your fire technique, the general rule-of-thumb is that you must wait three techniques before you can use Chidori for the storm to fully form. This generally allows you to use the fire at the end of your turn, your opponent uses three jutsu, and then you can defend before using Kirin. The second thing to note is that you must use Chidori before you can use Kirin, making it cost two jutsu instead of one like Double Raikiri. However, as soon as you use Chidori, which only uses one handseals after you complete Raiton, you can begin manipulating the lightning in the clouds and bring it down very close to instantly in conjunction. And when trying to use this technique, be wary; the best way to beat it is to disrupt it, so watch out for people trying to stop you from using Kirin, or even trying to distract you to use the storm for themselves.

(Raiton: Chidori Jinrai) – Lightning Release: 1000 birds ThunderClap.
Rank: S
Type: Attack
Range: Mid-Long
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description: The user will cover his hands in with lightning, essentially performing a (Raiton: Chidori) Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds in each hand. Clapping his hands together, the user can unleash that massive amount of lightning chakra into the form of a powerful Thunderbolt directed at the user. The technique is best used if the user has a height advantage in relation to the target. The Thunderbolt is strong enough to leave a giant crater and cannot be used while being in Short-range of the target, at the risk of being hit also.

Another Chidori based technique, the user mid-air will perform the chidori and release the lightning chakra from the chidori into a very large thunderbolt which is shot at the opponent, it moves at amazing pace and has great attack potency. Note this technique can only be used if your opponent is in a mid-long range for the explosion it leaves off, if you are caught in it, it will actually hurt you as well. The bolts can pierce through anything and shock the opponent terribly. Its a projectile based attack after you send the thunderbolt. Its a great jutsu to use if your stuck in mid-air and you can send an attack because being mid-air always leaves you vulnerable. Its very fast to perform almost instantly since no hand seals are required and when the bolt rains down it moves rather quick. It does give off a large light though and because you make the chidori first you can hear the chirping sounds and anticipate it.

(Raigen Raikochu) – Lightning Illusion Flash of Lightning Pillar
Rank: S
Type: Supplementaty
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: N/A
Description: After performing the following handseals Ram → Horse → Snake → Tiger the user will release a massive amount of lighting chakra which he uses to create a blinding light that appears to emanate from all over the users body. The light can blind any enemy that sees it but its main ability is that, through skill and precise chakra control and timing, the user can use it as a cover to put the enemy into a genjutsu by using the light as a decoy, preventing the enemy from noticing the genjutsu was placed.
Note: Can follow with any Genjutsu the user knows up to A-Rank but needs to have mastered Genjutsu. The user will need to effectively spend two moves, performing both the Lightning Illusion and the Genjutsu; the first only serves as a cover to place the second unnoticed
Note: Can only be used once every three turns

After doing the hand seals the opponent will generate a blinding light from their body. The light can easily blind the opponent obscuring the opponents vision, this is best to use against an Uchia, Byakugan users can see through it easy, I would also say its good to use against a Rinnegan user. The performance is quite slow but the light is generated fast. Its a very simple technique, and its meant for combo making. You can anticipate that the opponent will try to use an attack on you. When the user does use this jutsu, they will not be able to even look at the user for the duration. Notes are that the longer you keep generating your chakra the longer the light stays but you must keep focus and can not be able to use another technique. Its great to use with an ally or clone who is right behind you, not worrying about the light.

Serpent · Jun 22, 2014

Well, you pretty much state everything about the technique in your post when you are teaching it to me, there isn't really much I can add without repeating what you have already said lol xD

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra while making 11 handseals creating Chidori in his left hand. Hei then rises his hand taking control over the lightning above. In one swift swoop of his hand, Hei causes the lightning to strike down in near instantaneous speed causing it to obliterate a near by area.
Creative uses/strengths: Once used, it has devastating speed and power capable of defeating most foes.
Drawbacks/counters: Requires preparation over a series of turns to form thunderclouds and the use of Chidori itself on the official turn of use. Allowing for an opponent to interrupt. Furthermore, If not timed correctly an opponent may used this jutsu's preparations against the user.

Perform the technique: Hei focuses his chakra into both his hands forming an array of electrical power around his hands "essentially chidori's". Hei then slams his hands together shooting this massive amount of Raiton as a lightning bolt which shoots out and hits a tree Mid-ranged away where it completely devastates it.
Creative uses/strengths: Powerful ranged attack with a fairly quick delivery. even more effective when the user is in a lower location.
Drawbacks/counters: Cannot be used in short ranged as it will result in harm to the user. By covering ones hands in exposed raiton chakra, one runs the risk of being doused by water resulting in harm.
Note: @Bold: Needs to be re-worded as it says the user directs it at the user meaning they shock themselves xD

Perform the technique: Hei makes four handseals while focusing his raiton chakra, This eliminates a blinding light from Hei's body allowing him to fallow up with a variety of techniques in the cover of the light if wanted.
Creative uses/strengths: As you stated, this technique is effective against Doujutsu users in blinding them but in the case of a Sharingan user, fallowing up with a Genjutsu may not be ideal. Once used, the user is able to use the light to mask a fallowing technique. In most cases it will be a fast Genjutsu, but can also be used to cover other fast speed non-genjutsu techniques provided the user has good chakra control.
Drawbacks/counters: Doesn't case direct harm an because the opponent will need to see the user when the jutsu is used, it's possible that the opponent will attack before a fallow up jutsu is used if the opponent has good enough timing.

*Thank you Noni* U_U

Now, for the second jutsu, is it more effective if you're lower, of if they're lower? I mean one could make an argument for whatever they believed, I was just wondering if your description was against the one of the jutsu (which I see as just opinion anyway). I also brought up that bit about the bolded to the Sensei HQ. But yeah; good.

(Raiton: Chidori Raimei) - Lightning Style: 1000 Birds Thunderstorm
Rank: S
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost:40
Damage Points:80
Descripton: The user will channel lightning chakra into his hand, covering it with a massive chidori. The user will then point his palm forwards, unleashing that chakra, creating a massive 120º blast of lightning that spreads from his hand, outwards and forward towards the enemy.

Another chidori technique, very fast to perform and easy. The user after making the chidori will spread from the users palm to cover a large area in front of them and cover a wide range up to 120º blast making evasion tough so trying to move to the side will not work well. Its a fast moving technique and can cut through many attacks as well as shock the opponent badly while slicing them. Its great to use to push an opponent back but a huge disadvantage is it only goes mid range so evading it by simply moving back is the more simplest of methods. After you send the lightning bolts from your hands it becomes a projectile based attack, its great to use for combos for flanking a fire technique trying to make sure the opponent does not see it. As any other chidori technique similar it will give off a 1000 bird chirping sound if done alone.

( Raiton: Raiden ) - Lightning Release: Lightning Chain
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short (Mid range connection)
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description: This technique requires the user to firstly create a shadow clone. Then, each of them will 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 have a shadow clone in the field.

So, with this technique you must start with a Shadow Clone (if you haven't learned it yet, use mine and wait to use this technique until you've learned the Shadow Clone technique). Then, both you and the clone will use Raikiri before touching hands together. As you touch hands, allow your lightning chakra to connect with the clone's chakra, creating a chain of lightning. As in the first technique, this only costs the jutsu count of this jutsu and the Shadow Clone; using Raikiri to form the chain doesn't count as a separate technique. From there, the two of you can get up to mid-range away from each other, using the chain of lightning like a clothesline to tear through people as you move around, creating a "danger zone" in the form of a direct line between the two of you.

( Raiton: Chidori Shinso ) - One Thousand Birds True Spear
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description:The user starts off by dashing at his opponent with a Chidori in his hand. As they strikes his opponent, they uses shape manipulation to extend the Chidori into a lightning spear that impales and hurtles the opponent into the air. The user then increases the potency of the lightning, generating a powerful electric explosion at the end of the spear and sending the enemy back to the ground.
Note: Only the spear extention can reach up to mid range.

This is a advance version of the lightning spear. Now with the spear alone, you could move it around and cut through many tough rocks. The spear is very useful to keep a distance away from an opponent, it also acts as a chidori which on contact will numb the area of the opponent if caught. You can wield the spear with great ease, it can cut through the most solid of metals. Its great to use to finish an opponent off, and the spear when release is very quickly. Now the spear extends mid-range (10m). The spear now if the opponent is pierced by it, the user can send extra chakra to the tip to create a explosion which can destroy the opponents inside. Its very deadly.

Serpent · Jul 21, 2014

Perform the technique: Hei channels lightning chakra into his hand after making the needed handseals (hasn't mastered lightning yet) and convertes it into a massive chidori in which he points forwards. Hei releases this chakra in a electrical blast that streaches it 120º radius out to mid range.
Creative uses/strengths: A quick jutsu to preform when one has mastered the element. Best used when an opponent is blindly charging in and/or one has hindered and opponents senses. It's good when combined with suiton jutsu providing extra damage.
Drawbacks/counters: like most raiton Jutsu, this has a shock virtue to it making the user exposed to Suiton attacks. Also has limited range.

Perform the technique: Hei has his clone both preform the Lightning cutter jutsu and place there hands upon another connecting there chakra. Hei and his clone then begin running and placing distance from each other stretching out to a mid ranged area with the lightning still connected as a cable. This cable then slices though multiple trees as Hei and his clone continue to run.
Creative uses/strengths: Can be used to attack multiple targets and cut though powerful defenses and chakras.
Drawbacks/counters: Same variability as most lightning techniques this also can be faily easy to counter as simply disrupting the pathway of one user (clone or shinobi) can put the technique to and end. also requires a clone.

Perform the technique: Hei creates a chidori in his hand and dashes at his clone. quickly closing the distance hei gabs the chidori into the clone before extending it ourwards. This propels the clone outwards and into the air, Mid ranged. Hei then continues the assault by focusing his chakra generating a powerful electrical explosion at the end of the spear that blast the clone to the ground where it disperses.
Creative uses/strengths: Good for close combat, this technique is an advanced combo then a basic chidori. good with taijutsu and hindering methods
Drawbacks/counters: without the proper taijutsu experience this jutsu my not be as effective on some opponents.

Alright, that was good. If you have no more questions, you have mastered Raiton.
