[Raiton] Thunders with Souji

[Jin]

"You just fainted during training senpai ! O_O"
"That kind guy named Souji taught me two techniques while you were recovering ... "
"Poor him, let's hope he'll survive that. :'("


Jutsu Performance

Hearing the angry senpai's word (Lol), I put my hand in front of me and begin gathering chakra into it. I add more chakra before I begin using nature transformation to change my raw chakra into high vibration Raiton chakra. Once my Raiton chakra is molded properly, I proceed to slam my right hand on the ground and begin releasing my Raiton chakra onto the Earth, shocking the training that were a bit to my left.

Advantages

The best advantage is that it allows you to hit multiple targets. Also it is very fast (no handseals required), so even short ranged, it can be useful.

Disadvantages

The biggest advantage is it's short range. 5 meters is too short. Also it's just a high shocking technique, thus it can't cause major injuries.

How I would use it in a fight

I would pretend that I am injured, so that the enemies can come with the 5 meter range. After they come, I immediately use the technique to their surprise and deal a shocking blow.

 

[Souji]

"Heh... don't worry, I know him quite well. Kind of a buffoon, but likable. He'll survive."

"Let's begin with the B-ranks, then. The first one has you performing the Ox hand seal. Then, hold out your hands in front of you, and release your lightning chakra in front of you. By applying your shape manipulation, you'll form a large lightning wall that will protect you from frontal attacks. If enemies come close or come into contact with it, they'll experience something... 'shocking'. Ah, apologies, that was a bad pun."

"What do you think this jutsu can specifically defend against? Give me ranks and elements."

Aigis nonchalantly tossed a few kunais at her student, as a concrete example of how to defend himself with this technique.

Spoiler

(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.

Once that was done, Aigis moved right along. She took a quick water break.

"And now, you'll create a half dome of lightning in front of you, applying the same principles as the Lightning Wall. Except this time, instead of holding the dome in front of you, you'll push it forward like a wave of lightning. This one's pretty fast and it can push away annoyances, as well as paralyze and annoy your enemy."

Spoiler

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

 

[Jin]

Jutsu Performance

I quickly perform the Ox hand seal and put both my hands in front of me. I then begin gathering chakra in both my hands. Once I have gathered enough chakra, I begin using nature transformation to turn my raw chakra into high vibrational Raiton chakra. Once my chakra is moulded properly, I begin releasing it through my hands and by using shape manipilation I make it take the form of a wall that is made if lightning.

Advantages

It is good for defending. It also shocks the enemies that try to attack in close combat range.

Disadvantages

It is only short ranged which means if your opponent is at mid-long range then this wouldn't harm him in any way. A water attack would also electrify the user, since your hands are upwards.

How I would use it in a fight

Mostly when weapon projectiles were shot at me, since it would be dangerous to block elemental attack with this technique. Or when engaged in close combat.

"What do you think this jutsu can specifically defend against? Give me ranks and elements."

Raiton - Same rank or below
Doton - A rank and below
Suiton - None i would say
Katon - Same rank, but it doesn't mean that neutral elements can nullify each other all the times.
Fuuton - Only C and D rank, since fuuton is raiton's weakness

---

Jutsu Performance

I begin gathering my chakra throughout my body, I continue adding my chakra until I begin changing my raw chakra into Raiton chakra by using nature transformtion. I mold my Raiton chakra a bit more before I begin releasing it from multiple points in my body in the form of a half dome by using shape manipulation. I continue focusing my chakra as I then use my chakra control to push the dome forward like a shield to shock any opponent.

Advantages

Can be used to defend as well as attack. It can clear the terrain by pushing away any obstacle.

Disadvantages

Can only be used for short range and I guess it's not that fast since it's created from your hands and then needs to be pushed.

How I would use it in a fight

If an opponent would be coming directly in front of me, I would use this technique to defend and at the same time to send my opponent backwards, damaging him in the process.

 

[Souji]

(Perfect answer to my question )

"The interaction between fire and lightning is the one I find most interesting. Neither one can be considered one of the three states of matter, so when they clash, it's two forms of energy simply hitting each other. I suppose it depends on the techniques used... some fire and lightning jutsus are considered 'more solid' than others, so make of that what you will."

"For this one, you'll basically gather your Raiton chakra around a closed fist. Use your shape manipulation to condense this into a sphere of lightning. If you punch a target with this fist, the sphere will discharge and cause an electrical explosion. Nothing overly complex."

"Try it on this watermelon. It should explode, I think..."

Aigis placed a watermelon in front of her student.

Spoiler

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

"And then after that, raise your hand and release an electrical discharge into the sky. If you want to look fancy, try it with a weapon like a sword. This electrical discharge will create lightning strikes from the sky that will hit in the locations you aim for, whether on the ground, or in the sky. The strikes are fast and occur almost immediately after the discharge is sent up into the sky, so be sure to know where you're aiming before using the jutsu."

"I've set up a few targets around you; be sure to try and get them all."

All around her student, there were small disc-shaped targets to hit; five in total.

Spoiler

(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.

"And for the last technique in this set, weave the Ram, Boar, Dog, Bird, and Hare hand seals, while molding Raiton chakra and releasing it through the ground. This lightning will displace the earth and forcefully shape it into four pillars around a target- in this case, the Shadow Clone I'll create. These pillars will surround the clone and subsequently release lightning attacks that will assault her."

"The range of this jutsu is excellent, although the pillars are large and conspicuous, which makes them somewhat easy to see and counter. You can even trap things like summons."

Aigis creates a Shadow Clone that simply waits.

Spoiler

(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.

 

[Jin]

Jutsu Performance
As I see the watermelon, I begin gathering chakra into my left hand. I gather enough chakra until I start changing my raw chakra into Raiton chakra by using nature transformation. After I have changed my chakra completely into Raiton chakra, I begin releasing it through my palm as I use shape manipulation to make it form a sphere of lightning around my fist. I then punch the watermelon which explodes immediately on contact.

Advantages
Since you use this in short (close) combat, you wouldn't leave your opponent any free space or time to react. I think it can also be used as a protective measure in close combat, since the opponent wouldn't attack you with your punch covered in pure lightning.

Disadvantages
It is only short range, so it's useless against an opponent in long range. Also a water attack from your opponent while this jutsu is active, would be very dangerous for you, since you would get badly electrified.

How I would use it in a fight
Probably when engaged in a taijutsu or close combat fight. I would first move backwards and activate the jutsu, then I would come closer in the fight and punch my opponent.

---

Jutsu Performance
After hearing senpai's words, I take my sword off my back. Then I rise my left hand in which I was carrying the sword up above my head and begin gathering chakra and channel it into the sword. I continue adding chakra until I start changing my raw chakra into Raiton chakra by using nature transformation. Once my Raiton chakra is moulded, I release it through the sword in the form of a lightning bolt straight into the clouds that are in the sky. As it goes into the clouds, the clouds start to get darker and soon after several lightning bolts start shooting down from the sky right where the discs that senpai set up were.

Advantages
You can hit multiple targets with one jutsu, so it's useful against multi-targets/opponents. The bolts are too fast, so I guess only someone high skilled and fast could probably be able to dodge.

Disadvantages
The lightning bolt are uncontrollable, so you can not hit a target who is on the move. Also, the jutsu cannot be prepared beforehand, so it's basically an "instantaneous" jutsu.

How I would use it in a fight
Firstly, I would use a water jutsu on the opponent and surround him with water. Then would rise my hand up and quickly perform this one, and since the water is already on his feet, the damage that the opponent would receive would be greater.

---

Jutsu Performance
I quickly start by performing the Ram->Boar->Dog->Bird->Hare hands seals and start gathering chakra in both my hands. I gather enough chakra before I begin changing my raw chakra into Raiton chakra by using nature manipulation. Once my Raiton chakra is molded properly, I proceed to slam my hands on the ground and release my Raiton chakra into the ground, causing 4 pillars made of Earth to rise up and surround your clone. The pillars then shoot out several bolts of lightning at your clone, which cause crate damage and make the clone disappear.

Advantages
It can be used for both short and long ranged battles, meaning it can be used it most of the offensive situations. It can trap multiple targets at the same time, but also it can trap big summonings at the same time. Besides trapping them, this attack also paralyzes the targets, making them unable to escape.

Disadvantages
The time it requires to be performed. It requires 5 handseals, which makes your opponent aware that you're up to something. Also, the pillars are too large and the opponent can see them coming, which would give them time to react.

How I would use it in a fight
I wouldn't use this on an opponent TBH, since somehow it is too obvious for a high skilled ninja and would be easily dodged. I would use it in a situation where the uses a summoning. I would send this attack to it and block his further movements by sending the lightning bolts to paralyze the summoning.

 

[Souji]

(alright, sorry for the late reply! Let's try something a little easier from now on. I want training to be something fun, not a chore. BUT, if you want to do the way you've been doing it so far, let me know!

Here's the new thing (if you want to do it)

- Perform the Jutsu in an RP way (you've been doing this already)
- Give me a picture of the technique
- Your opinion on the jutsu (can be as short or long as you want)
- Questions (if you have any)

We clear? Let's continue ^^)

"For our next technique, perform the hand seals Rabbit → Dog → Boar → Ram → Rat, and generate lightning in an unfocused wave. Or, you can also channel it through conductive material like a sword, for example. If you combine it with a water technique, you can increase the damage of the water technique. Remember that you can't use two elements at the same time, unless you have Yin/Yang training or a clone to help you out."

"Try the unfocused version, and then, use a sword to try the focused version, and give me an analysis of both."

Spoiler

(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.

"Once you've finished that, the second jutsu has you clapping your hands together and mold your electrical energy and chakra around you. When you slam your hands on the ground, an electric current will surge through the earth, and when it reaches your target, the lightning current will erupt from the ground and turn into multiple tendrils (tentacles) which can attack your target from multiple angles."

"Both of these jutsus have great range. Try them on my clones."

Aigis created two Shadow Clones, each one to be fodderized by each individual technique.

Spoiler

(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.

"The third technique is relatively simple. You'll raise both hands in the air and charge lightning using your chakra. Then, you'll throw down the lightning at your enemy, and it'll become a lightning bolt that will hit them. Nothing out of the ordinary."

"I have a question for you, though. If you were to counter this, when would be the best time to act?"

Spoiler

(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.

I will abide with my Senpai's wishes

Jutsu Performance
*Unfocused Version : I perform the Rabbit->Dog->Boar-Ram->Rat hand seals and begin gathering chakra in my hands. I continue gathering chakra before I begin turning my raw chakra into Raiton chakra using nature transformation. Once I've molded my Raiton chakra properly, I begin releasing it through my hands as an unfocused wave of lightning that I aim somewhere at the trees nearby.
*Focused Version : I begin by performing the Rabbit->Dog->Boar-Ram->Rat hand seals and gathering chakra in my hands. Once I've gathered enough chakra, I remove my sword from my back and I begin using nature transformation to change my raw chakra into Raiton chakra. Once I've molded my Raiton chakra properly, I begin releasing it through my hands in the form of lightning, but I use my sword as a medium to focus where I want to direct my it. I then point the sword at a training dummy on the training grounds.

My Opinion
Ok as for the unfocused version, i think you can't pinpoint an exact target with that. You will release the jutsu "randomly. I think this is most suited to be used when there is a bunch of enemies spread into different direction, but not when against a single enemy.
On the other hand, the focused version is much more "stable". By transferring it to your sword, you release the jutsu the way you want to be directing the sword at the enemy. I think this can be used on multiple and single targets too.

My Opinion
This is good to be used in case there are multiple enemies in front of you, since it releases more than one lightning bolt.

Questions

No questions

As for the question you asked : The best time to react against this techniques is when the opponent raises their hands and their arm start generating lightning(As shown in the picture). If the jutsu is released, you can't probably know how fast it is and you can't know if you'll have time to react or not. So it's better to react before the jutsu is release, since you can understand the opponent is using a lightning jutsu the moment their arms start generating lightning.

"This one's kind of interesting. Generate Raiton chakra between your palms and apply your shape manipulation to form a lightning whip. It can be used to bind, wrap, and shock your enemy while they're trapped."

Spoiler

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

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.

"After that, channel more Raiton chakra into your dominant hand. It will radiate a current and form a stream that will take the shape of a hound, upon applying shape manipulation. You can direct and control where the hound attacks, so try wrapping it around my second clone and make it bite her to death."

"Remember, this is a stream-type, so you can't perform any other techniques while using this."

Spoiler

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

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.

"This next technique has you molding Raiton chakra in your mouth, and releasing a stream-type, compressed spear of lightning at your target. It's got a lot of piercing power and is incredibly fast, making it a favored move to follow up in a combination. Best when used your opponent is in midair, or if they're trapped in something. Go ahead and aim it at some trees over there, you should be able to pierce through them quite easily."

"This jutsu says you can split the spears to strike multiple targets. I want to give you a quantitative breakdown. If you double the amount of spears that form, you decrease in a rank. So, for example, if you split the spear into two, each spear is C-ranked. If you split it into four, each spear is D-ranked. And eight means each is E-ranked. This applies to ANY splittable technique."

Jutsu Performance
After hearing the senpais' words, I begin gathering chakra in my palms. As I continue gathering chakra, I begin using nature transformation to turn my raw chakra into Raiton chakra. Once my Raiton chakra is molded, I begin releasing it through the palms of my hands in the form of a thin long whip by using shape manipulation. I swing it towards the direction of some training dummies, which are "electrified" on contact.

My Opinion
Ok so this is a very good technique, but has two huge disadvantages. Firstly, you need to keep focusing on the technique since it's a stream type and you need to keep your lightning active. Secondly, what if someone actually used a water technique on the lightning beast ? I guess it would pretty much shock the user too, since it's a streaming type and your jutsu is active, so that's what makes it have flaws.

My Opinion
Not much to say, just that it's power is also it's weakness. Splitting it makes it more accurate when aiming a target, since he's surrounded by more lightning spears, but also weakens the spears as they are multiplied, so a rotational wind technique could cancel all the spears.

"This jutsu will have you molding raiton chakra and visualizing your image, what you are. You'll apply the principles of shape and nature manipulation to form an exact replica of yourself; a clone. Quite simple in theory, but make sure you get it right. These clones can use basic ninjutsu and taijutsu, as well as B-rank lightning techniques as well. When they disperse and get defeated, they can release a small surge of lightning that may momentarily annoy your opponent, giving you an opening that would be unexpected."

"Tell me what you know about clones, and how they can be useful in battle."

Clones
Hmm, well, I know clones are usually used to gain an advantage over you opponent by adding more numbers to your side. However clones can also be used as distractions and also for gathering information because whatever a clone learns, once it is dispersed, the intel he gathered is sent back to the original. Clones are also great to use for combination attacks, like seen when Kakashi used his clones against the tailed beasts.

My Opinion
Ok so when this jutsu is channeled onto the sword, the sword is also able to cut through steel, as seen when Killer B could cut through Kubikiribōchō when his sword was enhanced with this technique. I think this technique can decide a swords battle, since it's cutting power is increased by many times.

My Opinion
Being a quick technique, it pretty much doesn't allow your opponents much time to react. But, being hard to aim, is also a disadvantage. Rising the hands pretty much alerts your opponent that you're about to use this technique. Overall I'd say it's a good jutsu if the opponent is not fast enough to react and dumb to notice.

Jutsu Performance
Firstly, I start by removing 2 giant shurikens and hold them in each hand. Then I start gathering chakra in my hands, and once I have gathered enough chakra, I apply my Raiton affinity to my raw chakra, turning it into Raiton chakra. I release my Raiton chakra through the palms of my hands while using shape manipulation to make my chakra into a thin thread that is attached to the shurikens. After doing so, I throw both of the shurikens to the direction of your clone, pinning him down and making him unable to move.

My Opinion
This is a pretty good one. If you throw the shurikens at different directions and the join them by the lightning tie, it would give your opponent a pretty hard time since they'd be coming by both sides. The only con I can see is that this jutsu needs concentration and that you can't use any jutsu while this one is active.

( 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.

Spoiler

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

I don't know if I shall perform the jutsu or not. Can't understand the free jutsu part that well. If performance is needed in this set, tell me and I'll perform it in the next reply or just edit this one.


For the first technique, it looks pretty easy, useful and straightforward. The only thing off is the range. It's useless against other ranges.
For the second one, I'd say it's a pretty handful one. The shield is handful when engaged in a taijutsu battle, making the opponent unable to touch you. Since it can also be sent as an offensive attack, it makes this jutsu even better. The only thing off is that you cannot use other techniques while the shield is active, though you can use taijutsu techniques.
And as for the last one, it doesn't look that fast. Those few seconds can be decisive in battle, considering the length this technique can reach. Though, it can be pretty useful when used on multiple enemies, since it can strike all of the at once.

 

[Souji]

Oh, I was just giving those jutsus to you as a "free round". Sorry for the confusion. Good job with your insights, we'll switch to a more discussion-based/theory training, making it a little easier for both of us. Sound good?

Here, form four (4) handseals and shape the lightning into disks. You can throw one or multiple disks, and they're super fast with up to a mid-range reach.

If you want the best possible visual aid, think Krillin's Destructo Disks (from DBZ) LOL.

( 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.

Annnnnnnnnnnd... here's the Chidori! A very self-explanatory jutsu... we've seen it spammed ad nauseam by Sasuke. It's very similar in function for our RP, but do you have any questions about it?

Spoiler

(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

 

[Jin]

I start by performing the Monkey → Ox → Boar → Tiger hand seals and start focusing chakra into my hands. Once I have enough chakra, I apply my Raiton affinity to it, turning my raw chakra into Raiton chakra. After my Raiton chakra is properly molded, I begin releasing it from my hands in the form of lightning and apply shape manipulation to it, forming a compressed disk of lightning. Once the disk is formed. I then throw the disk towards a nearby tree, cutting it in half Lol .

I basically got the idea behind this jutsu. Like you said,Krillin's Destructo Disk is the almost the same thing. The only difference is that this one is made of lightning .

(Raiton: Chidori) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds
Being one of the most used techniques in the manga/anime, I think I know how this jutsu works. I have one question though, regarding this statement :
"... lightning jutsu that is concentrated in the user's palm and thrusted toward the opponent at high speed."
Does this mean that the speed of the user is also increased, like not from the thrust ?! Or is it just the thrust from the technique that pushes the user forwards and thus resulting in the increased speed ?

 

[Souji]

To answer your question, you charge and thrust at your opponent with your base speed. However, it could be enhanced by certain techniques or abilities... could you imagine using a chidori alongside EIG? Too OP, man.

Alright, apologies for my delays, exams and such. We can finish this in the next week or so if we're diligent ^_^

Weave three handseals and place your hand on the ground, creating a triangular bolt of lightning that carves a path with intense energy and heat.

Some notes about this technique: you must keep your hand on the ground to control the direction of the bolt, so you're vulnerable, and the bolt itself must use the ground as a medium from which to travel.

(Raiton: Ikazuchi Hakai) – Lightning Release: Lightning Destruction
Rank: A
Type: Attack
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: After performing a small sequence of 3 hand seals the user will place their hand on the ground converting their chakra 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.​

Here's one of the many chidori variants you'll learn. Form a chidori to shoot lightning needles at your target. Incredibly fast and hard to dodge... this might be my favorite of the chidori variants, honestly.

In a fight, you don't have to post the formation of the chidori, so it won't take up two moves. Instead, just use this 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.​

Ok... and for this one, concentrate Raiton in your hand to form a ball of lightning. You can release the attack in two ways; as a projectile that can reach up to mid range, or a melee attack (if you've watched One Piece, think Whitebeard's quake bubble attacks). Either way, it explodes against whatever it comes into contact with. One of my favorite Lightning jutsus, if not my favorite u_u

(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.​

[Jin]

Thank You Sensei ^-^ !
Seems like I'm late again. This is the last time. I know I've been holding you to this for a long time, and I'm sorry ): .

I start by performing the 3 required hand seals and begin focusing my chakra into my left hand. Once I have gathered enough chakra, I applying my Lightning affinity to it, turning my raw chakra into Lightning chakra. After properly molding my Lightning chakra, I place my left hand on the ground and start channeling my chakra into it. I continue focusing my chakra and turn it into lightning. I then use shape manipulation to make my chakra form a small triangle that pops out of the ground as I continuously focus onto it.

I begin focusing chakra into my right hand. Having gathered enough chakra, I turn my raw chakra into Lightning chakra by nature manipulation. I then begin releasing my Lightning chakra through my palm as a lightning current. I then use shape manipulation to make lightning needles that fire from the chidori in my hand.

I strart focusing chakra in hand. Once I have gathered enough chakra, I apply my Lightning affinity to it, turning my raw chakra into Lightning chakra. I then begin releasing my Lightning chakra around my palm to form an electric ball composed of compressed chakra. I then release the ball of compressed lightning towards the target.

Form four handseals and force sixteen pillars to rise up and surround your target. These pillars will trap and shock the enemy, and is good in combination with Earth Release: Mud Fall and Fire Release: Firing Biscuit as complementary jutsus. However, it's good enough on its own as well and has a great range.

(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.

This one's a chidori variant where you make a chidori and apply shape manipulation to extend it into a sword-like shape, like a lightsaber xd

It has an almost solid feel to it, and can cut, paralyze, and whatnot.

Let's see how good of a fruit ninja you are! *throws a bunch of watermelons at you*

(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.
