[Raiton] Shocking Discoveries with Noni [~Inverse~]

[Sharingdork]

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

I like this technique, was my first ever favorite. Now its very fast to perform and set up. This jutsu when active stays active for more then one turn unless already used to block an attack or attack an opponent when in range. Also this gives you a serious advantage in short range battle. Especially if used correctly when you get in range, set it up and take the fight head on. A huge downfall is you are completely open for water attacks, one hit of water and you will be shocked better, its easy for an opponent to figure it out as well since the lightning is visible and you can hear the cracking of lightning, use with caution.

(Raiton: Iwa Nadare) - Lightning Style: Stone Avalanche
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Descripton: By forming hand seals Snake → Upside down Tiger → Hands clapped together when near a cliff , the user causes stone and rock to become dislodged and rain down on anyone below it by releasing a wave of electrical energy which weakens the rock and makes it fall as it crumbles. However, this is extremely location-based and needs to be done uphill of a mountain for it to work.

Okay this technique has some serious explanation. Okay the user will do two hand seals and clap their hands, they keep their hands clapped together which puts the user at disadvantage since if they let their hands go the jutsu will be released and the jutsu will stop. So while keeping their hands together they will run up a cliff while sending a electrical surge towards the cliff allowing the rocks to losen causing a rock avalanche to happen. The rocks will be very thick with debris and have chunks of rocks which can harm an opponent if caught though this technique is best used with combo, after you send the rocks. You can release your hands and perform a technique of any kind, I prefer to use a quick jutsu that can go through the debris and attack the opponent before they can react. Now ways to counter are simple, you can use a wind jutsu to blow the rocks and debris away without any effort. Funny thing is though lightning is used to set the jutsu, the rocks cause the damage to happen to a opponent. This is very location based making it difficult to use just anywhere. Be weary and concentrate on your terrain. Also while you are running the rocks are being dislodged so rocks will constantly fall while you run.

 

[Zaphkiel]

(Raiton: Raigeki no Yoroi) - Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Armour

Spoiler

Perform the technique: Harvesting Raiton energy in my body I began to focus on emitting it through my skin, first the places I knew of first like my hands and feet and then I began to emit it from the rest of my body until I was fully coated with the crackling, jumping element.

Creative uses/strengths: In a Taijutsu battle could have opponent at a distance or afraid to attack, also useful if being restriced by clones, or a person, or a Doton technique, or even a Mokuton technique where the user may be restricted from moving or using his hands.

Drawbacks/counters: Well as you stated, susceptibility to Suiton and other techniques of that nature. I'm also ot sure of any other setbacks.

(Raiton: Iwa Nadare) - Lightning Style: Stone Avalanche

Spoiler

Perform the technique: Running up a nearby hill I began exerting my Raiton control into the earth I began to dislodge the firmly placed boulders with the penetrative properties of Raiton allowing them to fall eventually as I reached the top, resulting in a nasty avalanche.

Creative uses/strengths: Can be used in conjunction with various Doton technique to form a Raiton/Doton combination. Also, can be used for distractions in a sense, like have a clone do it while you prepare for something better..

Drawbacks/counters: Extremely location based, not very easy to pull off the conditions must be perfect. Not very useful in a sense, I can't see any scenario where this could change the tables or delay a defeat etc..

*Kicks dork out*


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

Okay the user will raise their hands infront of themselves like a sword. It will begin to glow and release bolts of lightning shaped as a horn. This is very simple and fast to perform. A projectile based technique so you can sent constant attacks following this one. The most notable and best part of the jutsu is it spreads outwards giving it the ability to attack more then one target in the area. That is a huge plus if you are out numbered. Also its clear so you can see through it. Being a projectile justu and a wide spread technique you can use this in combos in a multitude of ways. Making the ground shake and send it towards the opponent or hurt the opponents vision and sending it forward making it hard to notice it. Another one is is their is ever a mist or debris of smoke between the fighters you can use this technique as a way to attack the user and know it will spread wide enough to hit an opponent. Ways to counter is it goes straight and spreads only wide. Going in the air or underground can work but be weary how. Later on you can use another raiton jutsu to cut through it. Fairly simple.

( Raiton: Inazuma ken Fudou ) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blades Levitation
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 15 (-5 per turn)
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will channel their lightning chakra into their sword to increase its cutting capabilities, and then levitate it in front of them. They will then multiply the sword creating two extra physical copies which are then all manipulated to spin rapidly and are controlled to fly towards and cut through the opponent/s through hand gestures. While controlling the weapons, the user cannot mold chakra for other techniques and needs to keep focus.

Okay with the use of a sword, the user will channel lightning into the sword increasing its destructive abilites. They will then manipulate the chakra in the sword to have it levitate in front of them. The using shape manipulating multiply the sword creating another two physical copies made of lightning. They then spin rapidly which finally a user will send towards the opponent cutting them badly if hit. Okay this is a slow performance technique as well as you must remain concentrated to execute perfectly. They move at normal speed as well. To be honest I'm on the edge of this though you have many projectile attacks you must remain focus for the duration of the performance and it certainly takes a while to perform despite being a very sharp jutsu. I recommend you try to distract the opponent before you use this technique to have a large enough time window to perform perfectly. It can at least attack multiple targets which is a plus.

Oh hey Noni! You're back I see..

---

(Raiton: Shuurai Rappa no Jutsu) - Lightning Release: Lightning Strike Horn Technique

Spoiler

Perform the technique: Setting my hands in a sword like manner, with my fingers straight, I focused Raiton chakra into it causing it to crackle while glowing. Then I fired about 3 horn shaped lightning bolts that seemed to diverge at a certain range at acute angles to each other effectively spreading over a wide range.

Creative uses/strengths: Well it is good for hitting unseen enemies and even multiple enemies. A good strategy would be to cause a minor earthquake or at least loose the opponent's footing causing him not to see this jutsu properly.

Drawbacks/counters: Launching oneself into the air and going under the ground are counters. Also, the drawbacks include not being able to pinpoint a target and not being able to do considerable damage..

( Raiton: Inazuma ken Fudou ) - Lightning Release: Lightning Blades Levitation

Spoiler

Perform the technique: I focused Raiton energy into my blade causing it to light up bluish with tiny tendrils of lightning bouncing off. Then, manipulating the chakra in it I caused it to levitate in front of me. Then, two copies of the blade made of Raiton that began to spin rapidly around me. I then sent them at the training dummy remaining focused all the time..

Creative uses/strengths: Well the blades will be able to cut through up to B ranked Doton structures with ease and being three of them it would be relatively hard to parry/counter. A perfect way to execute would be to distract the enemy with a shadow clone or something of the sort then use this jutsu.

Drawbacks/counters: Requires undivided attention which could leave the user open to attacks, also, it is slow in preparation and execution which not be useful in close quarters or speedy situations..

Last before B-Rank


( Raiton: Denki Railansho ) - Lightning Release: Electric Discharge Palm
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid (Short range for the discharge)
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will manipulate their lightning chakra in their dominant hand generating electrical bolts of lightning around their forearm and they then jump into the air. The user will then land slamming their palm onto the ground causing the electrical energy to become discharged sending out bolts of lightning into the ground and around them up to 5 meters.

The user will gather a large sum of lightning chakra into their hand and forearm, then they will jump high into the air. When the begin to descend back to the ground they will forcefully slam their palm on the ground sending a electrical energy through the ground up to a 5 meter radius everywhere in short range, you can also send it forward towards an opponent. Its easy but your vulnerable in the air so watch out and since this is mainly to use for close range battle the opponent can easily react quickly. Also right when you release the lightning in the ground you can go straight to another jutsu with quick succession. This can also great away earth material that may be under you, so its great to break away spikes as well.

 

[Zaphkiel]

( Raiton: Denki Railansho ) - Lightning Release: Electric Discharge Palm

Perform the technique: Pooling Raiton chakra into my right hand and forearm I leaped into the air, concentrating on keeping this energy stable all the time. Then, as I descended I slammed my right palm on the ground with great force releasing a lightning discharge emit from from my location with me as the epicenter.

Creative uses/strengths:Good for multiple enemies, ,like clones. Also good for surrounded Doton techniques, like that pillar bind one. And can be used with other jutsu that uses the rocks dislodged by this jutsu

Drawbacks/counters: Vulnerable in the air. And the opponent has adequate to prepare a counter or even attack before this jutsu is carried out.

 

[Noni]

(Raiton: Raiton no Heki ) – Lightning Release: Lightning Release Wall
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary, Defence
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user manipulates their chakra while doing the Ox hand seal and then releases it in front of him whilst holding their hands out. By doing this, the user generates a wall of lightning energy that can defend against certain techniques. The user can use this defence to shock enemy targets who attempt close range combat and deliver massive shocks to anything that comes in contact with it.

A basic defensive technique, after one hand seal the user by placing their hands forward will channel raiton chakra towards their hands and the user will release a wall of lightning. The wall of lightning will cover the opponents entire position from top to bottom. It is made exactly short range of the user as well and the wall being made of lightning means the user can see through it fine to notice the opponent. Also its great to use if an opponent is trying to get in to close for a taijutsu battle, for if they are hit by the wall they will be shocked badly and pushed back by the shocks impact. The wall can easily be overpowered.

(Raiton: Reijingu Sanda) - 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.

The user will create a half shaped dome very quickly, its very simple as well to do so. The user will send raiton chakra from all over their body and release it in a dome shape up front of the user. Its best to use this for short range battle if an opponent is trying to get in close or you can combine it as a finisher in a taijutsu combo. The user will release the lightning energy shocking everything short range upfront of the user. Its very fast to create with no hand seals and can be made in any position including mid air. The user can also see through the dome so they will have view on the opponent. If connected the opponent will be shocked and paralyzed unable to move. Its also a great defensive technique as well being able to intercept basic attacks. Since it only covers frontal view of the opponent you can still attack from behind or the sides this will force them to have to use another tech making for a proper counter as well as many others.

(Raiton: Sanda Saburu) - 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.

A great jutsu to use for close range battle. The user will send raiton chakra around their favorite hand and condense it to create a orb of lightning around their hand and punch the opponent in any area they wish. This will release the lightning causing an explosion of lightning which can easily shock the opponent and push them back some distance. Its a very basic jutsu as well as very quick to use without hand seal also its purpose is very simple on how to use it but it can only be beneficial in short range battle. I would use this in conjuction with a regular taijutsu and for a finishing blow punch the opponent with this jutsu making for a great short range combo, great aid for close range battle. Now it can also be dangerous with a orb of lightning around the hand you are open for water attacks to shock yourself, you can also use a wind jutsu in close range (Hurricane fist for example) similar to overpower it that will hurt the opponent.

 

[Zaphkiel]

(Raiton: Raiton no Heki ) – Lightning Release: Lightning Release Wall

Spoiler

Perform the technique: Forming the Ox hand seal and channeling Raiton chakra throughout my arms I focused it into a fairly large wall forming about a meter before me and standing as tall as me. It seemed useful somewhat.
Creative uses/strengths:

• Great for counter against CQB specialists
• Perfect for certain type of weak projectile type jutsu
• Could be enough to buy user time for better jutsu

Drawbacks/counters:

• Easily overpowered
• Doesn't guard user full 360 degrees
• ~

(Raiton: Reijingu Sanda) - Lightning Style: Raging Thunder

Spoiler

Perform the technique: Concentrating my Raiton chakra I projected a large dome like structure made of lightning, only half though. Still having a visual on the training dummy I began to push the dome forward, frying the very grass on the ground. As it hit and passed through the dummy it was evident had this jutsu hit a real person they would have been incapacitated.
Creative uses/strengths:

• Can be performed mid air, great for quick counters
• Good for cautious advances especially through visually impairing jutsu like Hidden Mist
• Fast to create/execute and can be used against multiple targets

Drawbacks/counters:

• User's backside is left unprotected
• Opponent can run underground to avoid contact
• ~

(Raiton: Sanda Saburu) - Lightning Style: Thunder Saber

Spoiler

Perform the technique: Focusing chakra into my right fist and then converting it into Raiton chakra I began to pulse the energy from my hand. Soon enough my hand was covered in a perfectly manipulated sphere of Raiton chakra. I then proceeded the punch the head clean off the already burnt training dummy
Creative uses/strengths:

• Good for close quarter battles
• Perfect in a Taijutsu spar
• Ability to render opponents paralyzed and push them back some distance is an up

Drawbacks/counters:

• Can be overpowered by simple Fuuton jutsu
• Can be dodged as even though covered in Raiton the punch no extra speed
• Has to be close to opponent to have any effect at all

 

[Noni]

Please no spoilers ~_~ btw I would not try to go underground to avoid a simple technique leaves you incredibly vulnerable.


(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.

So this is a fun technique which I actually used quite a bit when I first started. First, you will send a stream of lightning into the sky, causing lightning clouds to form overhead and create storm conditions (no, these neither cause rain, nor allow for Kirin). After the clouds form, you will choose a location for the lightning to strike, and the lightning surge you sent into the air will come down nearly immediately, striking in a similar fashion to a true lightning bolt. This technique is great for creating an attack that isn't straight head-on, causing your opponent to come up with a different approach to defend. It also allows you to bypass walls they may have set up before-hand. One thing to watch out for is that the lightning comes down at regular Raiton speed, which is fast but not unblockable. If you're planing to make a good combination attack, using something like this technique, or any technique that doesn't attack directly from the front, really, is a good choice.

(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.

So, a technique that I'm not really sure as to why it's lightning, but oh well. Using your Raiton chakra, after forming the five handseals, focus it into the ground to cause the earth to rise in four large pillars (honestly, I don't know what to tell you... It's not been described "how" in-depth, so... Just go with it, I guess). Then, from these four earthen pillars created with your Raiton chakra (<.<), cause your chakra to flow through the pillars towards each other, and ultimately the epicenter of the formation, which will cause a multitude of lightning bolts to surge through the area encompassed by the pillars, shocking all within. This is a very good technique for trapping someone and keeping them bound in place; the pillars rise, the lightning goes out and shocks them, and then you follow up with finishing strike. However, as the pillars rise, the opponent may catch on that it's bad to be caught in the middle and move out; it's quite a telegraphed technique. Overall, it's good if used correctly, but you should use it at your own discretion.

(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.

Okay, so form five handseals and then focus your Raiton chakra into your hands. From your hands, you're able to release unfocused lightning which is basically a small Chidori Nagashi that is only released from your hands, and not your entire body. It can numb and paralyze, but overall is not very effective on its own. When done this way, it can only reach up to short-range. The real power of this technique is if you can have a clone or ally (or, if you can use water and lightning together, yourself) use this technique as you perform a streaming water jutsu. This technique could then be focused through the water, conducted and made more powerful so that the jutsu could have greater damage on impact. This is the true strength of this jutsu. However, at the same time, to use this technique effectively you either need Ranton, a different KG allowing you to use the two elements at once, or a partner of some kind.

 

[Zaphkiel]

(Raiton: Ikazuchi no Kiba) - Lightning Release: Fangs of Lightning

Perform the technique: Raising my right hand to the sky I focused and fired a tendril of Raiton chakra into the clouds. Making it like storm clouds I then focused my aim at the training dummy which stood some meters away. The strike was simultaneous hitting the dummy in almost no time.

Creative uses/strengths:

• Perfect for long distance attacks
• Good for offense combos
• Also good against pre-set defenses, like Doton walls

Drawbacks/counters:

• With basic Raiton speed it can be blocked and tracked
• By moving quickly around an area the opponent can effectively evade this
• ~

(Raiton: Shichu Shibari) – Lightning Release: Four-Pillar Bind

Perform the technique: Forming the required hand seals Ram → Boar → Dog → Bird → Hare I slammed both my palms on the ground and surged Raiton chakra through the ground. Allowing it to travel silently and unhindered I used it to concur four pillars of earth around the training dummy. After the four pillars were raised to optimal height I allowed my Raiton chakra to materialize into lightning and fry the dummy in between using the pillars as conductors.

Creative uses/strengths:

• Good for trapping victims
• Raiton chakra is unseen while travelling, unless fighting against a Doujutsu user, which is good for sneaking up
• Fairly nice opening move, or a testing move to evaluate enemy strength or wits

Drawbacks/counters:

• Opponent can move while pillars erect
• Doujutsu user are somewhat prepared and can move before even target
• A 360 wide Raiton or equivalently strong chakra type could remove the pillars before electrocution

(Raiton: Kangekiha) – Lightning Release: Wave of Inspiration

Perform the technique: After performing the five hand seals Rabbit → Dog → Boar → Ram → Rat I relased a stream of unfocused Raiton from my hands similar to Electromagnetic Murder technique. It was fairly simple to do but the surge of Raiton that emitted was powerful. No doubt in conjuction with conductive material this could prove formidable.

Creative uses/strengths:

• Use in conjunction with water improves range and power.
• Good to attack fairly multiple targets
• ~

Drawbacks/counters:

• If used with water opponent could somewhat easily evade
• If used unfocused and not enhanced it is fairly simple to evade or block or counter
• ~

 

[Noni]

(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.

So, bring your hands close together without touching them and focus your raiton chakra to each hand. Small static sparks will fly between your palms, and then you can slam your hand on the ground. Like a technique you learned earlier, this will send the lightning through the ground as tendrils of electricity, which can be broken up into multiple tendrils, to attack anyone standing on the ground. I like this technique because, with a good diversion, you can shock a person's legs and make it hard for them to move, leading up to a great finisher. However, if your opponent can get off of the ground, then it's basically useless except to destroy earthen structures you don't want to be there.

(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.

So, raise your hand into the air, focus your lightning chakra to your hand, and release it as a horizontal lightning bolt towards the target. Simple. A simple projectile technique, this jutsu is useful for straightforward attacks, or for taking out a moving target like a kunai or a summon. However, once shot the technique can't change course, making it dodgable. Aside from that... it's a rather basic technique.

(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.

So, first you will hold your palms facing each other and focus your raiton chakra between them. Then, using your shape manipulation, you will form that lightning into a rope shape. From there, you can "grab" the rope with one hand and begin to swing it around. The rope can extend up to mid-range, allowing you to hit people at a distance. The rope can also be used to wrap around your opponent and bind/paralyze them at the same time. It's a very useful technique, but mainly as a supplementary usage. Without someone else (clone) to throw in the offensive part of a combination, it doesn't have much going for it as it's a streaming technique. However, it's also very good for electrocuting a streaming water technique without fear of it being redirected to avoid the lightning, as you can also redirect the whip. So, like every other technique, when used in the correct situation it can be pretty deadly.

 

[Zaphkiel]

(Raiton: Ikazuchi no Utage) - Lightning Release: Lightning Burial ~ Banquet of Lightning

Perform the technique: Rubbing my hands together I eventually harvested enough Ration chakra to materialize it into electricity. I then focused on keeping it stable while I slammed my hand on the ground releasing all the built up Raiton. Allowing the individual tendrils to race along the surface leading up to the training dummy.

Creative uses/strengths:

• Great for keeping opponent off the ground
• Also good for removing earth structures
• Good distraction, especially when done with a clone

Drawbacks/counters:

• Opponent has adequate time to evade
• Visible to the eye, losing any surprise feature it might have had
• Requires contact with ground

(Raiton: Hiraishin) – Lightning Release: Lightning Rod

Perform the technique: Simply raising my hand level with my eyes I charged Raiton chakra into the said arm and released a fairly powerful strike of lightning.

Creative uses/strengths:

• Good for a straightforward attack
• Simple enough to remove a Doton structure or an obstructing object.
• Can be used to hit a kunai, especially explosive ones

Drawbacks/counters:

• Very easy to dodge
• Easily seen
• Not that powerful

(Raiton: Torunedo Raitoningu) - Lightning Release: Tornado Lightning

Perform the technique: Concentrating Raiton chakra into my dominant hand I formed a tendril of lightning and then shaped it using my shape manipulation. Afterwards I grabbed on to it, making it appear as a whip then I began whirling it around myself with no apparent aim or purpose...

Creative uses/strengths:

• Nice for hitting long ranged and short ranged opponents
• Good for doing rope like actions, like wrapping and stuff I guess xD
• Lightning element adds paralysis to each succesful hit

Drawbacks/counters:

• Can be seen and evaded easily
• Can be blocked too, the whip doesn't have any ability to curve around objects
• ~

 

[Noni]

(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 lighting 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.

Another very basic technique, you channel raiton chakra to your hand and create a stream of lightning away from you. At the end of the stream, use shape manipulation to create a hound. From there, you can make the hound run around at your will. While the dog has to remain close to the ground and can't be flying through the air, it moves at rather quick speeds and can be used to easily penetrate defenses. Breaking through a defensive wall is probably the best way to use the lightning hound. And, just as other lightning streaming techniques, basically any suiton technique is bad news for you while using it, so be careful about that.

(Raiton: Gian Yari) - Lightning Style: False Darkness Spear
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user emits a spear of lightning from their mouth. The spear can then split apart to strike multiple enemies.

A fairly simply technique. Focus raiton chakra into your mouth, open your mouth, and release the lightning outwards like a spear. Now, the spear remains connected to you, making this a streaming technique, but since you can split the spear apart and choose where it goes with minimal physical motions, it's a fair tradeoff. The spear can be split up into as many different branches as you want, but remember that the more branches you make the weaker each one becomes. And yeah, that's the basics of the technique.

(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.

So, first you will need to take a sword, or a kunai should work. Then, allow your raiton chakra to flow through the blade of your weapon. As the lightning flows, the intense frequency and vibrations, not to mention a numbing effect, will transfer into the blade and increase the cutting power. This is a very good technique for augmenting kenjutsu or freeform sword strikes, and especially if the opponent forms an earth armor around themselves to protect from a normal sword. The only real "weakness" to the technique is how limited it is in use, as most "augmentation" techniques are.

 

[Zaphkiel]

(Raiton: Raijū Hashiri no Jutsu) - Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Running Technique

Perform the technique: Harvesting Raiton chakra into my right palm I began to emit it in a small spherical shape then, after placing my hand forward, I released it in the form of a hound using extensive shape manipulation and chakra control. Still connected to my hand it rampage through the various training obstacles.

Creative uses/strengths:

• Good for fighting ranged opponents
• Can be used to electrocute water sources without getting too close
• From what I've seen in the show the user has little control over it, allowing it to bend corners and such.

Drawbacks/counters:

• A stream technique, requires total usage of arm used
• Moves at basic Raiton speed, hence trackable.
• Only one can be fired at a time.

(Raiton: Gian Yari) - Lightning Style: False Darkness Spear

Perform the technique: Focusing Raiton chakra into my mouth I fired a focused spear of pure Raiton energy moving at immense speeds towards my target. As simple as it was to perform the effects were devastating.

Creative uses/strengths:

• Quick, and easy to perform
• Can be done even while restricted
• Ability to split and attack multiple enemies

Drawbacks/counters:

• Again, at basic Raiton speed can be tracked, unless performed extremely close
• Unable to mold any chakra other than Raiton which is being utilized for the jutsu
• ~

(Chō Biburāto Raitontō) - Super Vibrating Lightning Release Sword

Perform the technique: Drawing the katana on his back, Yosamu began channeling Raiton chakra through the hilt and blade. Causing it to vibrate from the properties of Raiton. Increasing its cutting power Yosamu easily and slowly sliced through the training dummy.

Creative uses/strengths:

• Good for cutting hard substances, especially doton.
• With spars against regular swords, gives it the ability to even cut through steel
• Stronger than wind aided cutting

Drawbacks/counters:

• Sword gains no speed advantage, only cutting power
• Is still susceptible to chakra stealing techniques
• Will give off a distinct sound, making it hard to mask its presence once coated

(Raiton: Dai Denki hoden 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.

Okay with one hand seal the user will raise their hand towards the sky sending a electrical discharge towards the opponent from the sky. Now its visible for the opponent to see you send the charge in the sky, so they can anticipate an attack, ways to mask them from knowing is hurting their vision. Its a fast performance tech with just a couple of gestures but slow overall for the attack portion since it will be sent up and then have to go down taking two roads. It is though a normal jutsu and can be used to lure the opponents attention to the attack or used to try to attack in all angles of the opponent. The range of the jutsu is what makes it so handy in battle. A basic combo is to have a clone use the technique while you (the original) send multiple attacks to divert their attentions.

( 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.

A basic technique and one that is usually never used, the user will gather raiton chakra and then release the lightning but the color of the lightning will be different, the color purple. The hands will aim towards the enemy or anywhere you want making it a nice technique on command which you can have nice control of at all times. It can shock and push an opponent back like any other normal raiton attack, though its main purpose is to push them backward. Its a fast technique to perform and great to use if an opponent is trying to charge at you with speed, it can also be used to combo with close range tai and ken. By using it to shock and distract them you appear and send some quick attacks. Very basic and projectile based right when you send it. One of the downsides is it does not go any longer then short range so it is a limited technique.

(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.

Okay the user will take two large shurikens or one huge windmill shuriken. They will channel raiton chakra into them giving a serious electrical surge through them which is visible and can be heard. Then the user will launch one of the two choices of shurikens at the opponent. The user will remain in control of them throughout the whole time the jutsu is active, because their will be a lightning cable which the user can manipulate. Now its a projectile but you will consistently need to remained focus on the chakra of the shuriken(s) if not then the lightning cable will disperse thus stopping the shuriken(s). If an opponent is hit they will be pierced delivering a numbing shock through their body, they will be numbed for one turn. Restricting their movements. Its range is limited to mid range.

( 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: Purazuma Boru ) - Lightning Release: Plasma Ball

Perform the technique: Focusing my Raiton chakra throughout my body I focused on the dense yet airy properties of plasma. I then proceeded to project this form of Raiton energy from my body outwards in a dome like manner. I then moved around in a full 460 degree angle, surprisingly the dome stayed with me all the way. I then released all the energy into a wave motion exploding from the right side of the dome.

Creative uses/strengths:

• Can be mobile while in use
• Able to disperse defense into offense
• Repulsive nature, electrocuting any and all that comes in contact from an omnidirectional point of view. Except beneath

Drawbacks/counters:

• Can only utilize Raiton and physical based jutsu whilst active
• Only short range
• Costs chakra to keep active per turn

( Raiton: Kaminari no Shogeki Ame ) - Lightning Release: Lightning Shock Rain

Perform the technique: After focusing and releasing Raiton chakra into my palms I condensed all the energy into a compact ball. About the size of a size 3 football, I then threw it as far up and away from my position as possible. After about 3 seconds after if had stabilized itself it began spewing out a continuous stream of Raiton streams on the area it hovered over.

Creative uses/strengths:

• Good for multiple targets
• Good for applying suppressive fire, especially in a team situation
• Lasts an entire turn

Drawbacks/counters:

• Ball can be destroyed, ending this jutsu
• User risks damage if caught
• 3 seconds to activate can be the moment between a win and a loss to me

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.

(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: Raisogekishin ) - Lightning Release: Lightning Rat Violent Quake

Perform the technique: After performing the Monkey → Ox → Boar → Tiger hand seals I quickly focused my Raiton chakra to take an invisible form spreading out from my fingertips. Then, as apart of the jutsu I materialized the Raiton chakra into actual lightning. Causing a thin disk of crackling energy to sprout from my right hand. I then threw it with great force at the training dummy.

Creative uses/strengths:

(Raiton: Chidori) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds

Perform the technique: After a quick and precise set of hand seals labelling: Ox → Rabbit → Monkey → Dragon → Rat → Bird → Ox → Snake → Dog → Tiger → Monkey I began focusing a massive amount of chakra into my right arm. It began to shake violently, it was hard to believe such a powerful form of electricity could be maintained by the human hand. Then, using the energy on my hand I pierced it through a 12 inch think training block with ease, its chirping noises illuminating the dojo along with the sound of splinters hitting the ground.

Creative uses/strengths:
