Np senpai. I'm more than thankful that you accepted me as student!
Lightning Release is one of the five basic elemental nature transformation techniques that allows the user to generate lightning by increasing the high frequency vibrations of their chakra, allowing the user, piercing damage and fast movement.
Lightning Release also, allows the user to paralyse the target, so that they are unable to move and leave them vulnerable to a finishing strike. Lightning can be also infused into bladed weapons in a way similar to Wind Release through chakra flow for increased piercing power through vibrations. Lightning Release is common to the ninja of Kumogakure.
Lightning is strong against earth because it can easily travel through and it rips the earth apart, but it is weak against wind because it is a natural electrical insulator.
Lightning has a unique relation with water, since water conducts electricity. This means that a Water Release technique can be used to increase the damage of a Lightning Release technique. Also lightning is much more powerful when it utilises natural lightning, for example a powerful Fire Release technique shot into the sky can produce thunderclouds in preparation for this.
Lightning-natured chakra is a component of the Kekkei genkai, Storm Release. Storm Release is an advanced nature Kekkei genkai, that combines lightning and water-based chakra.
Lightning users are: Sasuke, Kakashi, Darui, Killer B and the 3th Raikage.
Lightning Release techniques: Chidori, Chidori: Thunderclap, Kirin and Lightning Dragon Tornado.
