Lightning release is one of the five basic elemental nature transformations. Strong to earth, weak to wind as the latter acts as an insulator. One thing to note with lightning release techniques is that they never (save for one exception canon-wise) actually travel at the speed of "natural" lightning. Beyond that, it supplements water techniques nicely since lightning can be conducted into water-based techniques.
Good enough. Alright we will start off by having you try and create some lightning of your very own. What I would like you to do is to try and focus your chakra into either palm while changing the nature of your chakra to lightning, where you will create small lightning bolts from your palm. I want you to then shoot those lightning bolts at the many training dummies all over this field.

I focus my chakra into my right palm, converting the nature of it to that of lightning. I then use shape manipulation to bring form to the chakra, creating minor bolts of lightning that aggregate on my palm; finally, I shoot these bolts of lightning outward, aiming them so that they strike at multiple training dummies across the field before me.
Good, you've learned how to make lightning.

Next up I would like you to do two things. First I want you to do exactly what you did before but this time instead of bolts of lightning I want to to release a wave of lightning from your palm as you move it. After that concentrate your chakra into either of your palms and slam said palm onto the ground, releasing the chakra as you convert it into lightning that will spread across the ground shocking all those who it comes into contact with.

I concentrate my lightning chakra into my right palm as before, using shape manipulation as I wave it from right to left in a horizontal manner in order to release a wave of lightning that shoots forward. Once this is done, I perform the same prerequisite action, however, I instead slam my palm on the ground below, sending the lightning across the ground where it travels outward as a radial blast.
Great, you've learned:
Okay, with that D-rank Lightning is finished. From here on out I would like you to simply give an analysis on them.

Electric Attack is good in that it can change its path of travel and strike multiple targets, although the hand seals make it difficult to use effectively in battle given its low rank.
Pretty iconic lightning technique from the series, and a good introduction to the concept of combining elements that compliment each other well to produce a more lethal attack. Great that it requires no handseals which makes it quick to execute as oppose to the previous technique.
This could potentially backfire in its usage if the opponent were to respond with some sort of water attack. Beyond that, the concept is unique but does little to harm in the target if they're at a distance.
Good.

Stone Avalanche: Not a very good technique. Far too situational, hand seals required for little payoff. I suppose it could be used for RP purposes to create some sort of dramatic effect because I don't see anyone being struck by something like this.
I like this one. Best thing about lightning techniques are how swift and deadly they can be, and this is a good example of such an effect; it also reaches up to mid range too, which is rare for lower ranking projectile techniques.
This is a cool technique, although it requires a weapon, it can provide a good means to slice through or go around objects since the rotating blades can be manipulated with hand gestures. Discounting the fact that using a custom weapon with this could provide some interesting combinations.
Alright, last one for C-rank.

Gathering up lightning chakra in your dormant hand you will begin generating bolts of lighting around your forearm, where you will then slam your palm onto the ground and cause the lightning to discharge from your palm into the ground. This will cause bolts of lightning to move through the ground and around you up to the end of short range.

Fairly weak technique namely due to its short range. Since it doesn't require any hand seals, at the best, it could be used as some sort of opener in a close quarters fight if the opportunity presented itself. It's also worth noting that it requires the use of ones dominant hand.
I perform the appropriate handseals as I look down at my target from atop a moderately sized mountainous slope, causing a surge of lightning to tear through the face of the mountain, breaking up huge chunks of rock that fall downwards toward them. In the ensuing chaos provided by the avalanche of stone, I perform another three hand seals, causing a series of lightining beams to shoot forward, weaving around the debris of rock in order to pierce through the target. Finally, to seal the deal, I perform three final hand seals, and produce a minor conical structure of dust that traps the target and the rubble surrounding their immediate vicinity, reducing it all into nothingness.

(Jinton: Genkai Hakuri no Jutsu) - Detachment of the Primitive World Technique
Type: Offensive
Rank: C-S
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15-40
Damage: 30-80
Description: The user first performs a short sequence of handseals: Rat → Boar → Snake, then creates a basic 3D-shaped construct via Dust Release between the palms of their hands. A small sphere is located at its centre. The structure expands rapidly in size when being propelled towards the designated target and traps them inside its confines. The sphere then seems to explode with a tremendous amount of force, while the exterior walls of the structure effectively restrict the size of the blast radius. This results in the destruction of everything and anyone caught within, as they are pulverised into minute particles of dust. The technique isn't limited to just affecting physical matter; it can also affect chakra-based defenses. But the resulting damage that this technique can produce varies considerably, depending on the initial shape of the created structure..
Cuboid Structure: A form manipulating the Dust Release structure into a very generic three-dimensional cube. While the cube's surface area is rank-dependent, its shape also enables localized destruction and entrapment. Unlike the other shape alternatives, this form is always limited to just short-range when used.
Conical Structure: A form manipulating the Dust Release structure into a simplistic three-dimensional cone. While the cone's base diameter is rank-dependent, its base is always located in front of the user's hands with the pointed end poised at the desired target. It has an intermediary reach, extending up to mid-range.
Cylindrical Structure: A form manipulating the Dust Release structure into a basic three-dimensional cylinder. While the cylinder's diameter is rank-dependent, it is unique amongst shapes in extending up to long-range.
Note: The surface area of the cube form is 1m² at C-rank, 3m² at B-rank, 5m² at A-rank, 15m² at S-rank.
Note: The diameter of the cone and the cylinder is 1m at C-rank, 2m at B-rank, 4m at A-rank, 8m at S-rank.
Note: Only useable by Mū and Ōnoki bios. Clones are unable to use it.

I chose this combination namely because I prefer to use deterrents that make follow-up attacks more difficult to respond to. In this case, it was the stone avalanche that was used to provide a distraction.

Good technique in that it can stop other incoming attacks within reason, along with deterring potential close quarter combat opponents, however, a big downside is that it's a wall-like structure, and that can be overcome and evaded fairly easily.
Nice and quick technique, a half dome structure is superior to a wall one like the previous tech because it can help defend and protect from the sides better, although this concept is dependent on the size of the technique obviously. The paralysis is also a great way to hinder the opponent while hurting them simultaneously.
Simple, but I can see myself using this for sure. Downsides are obvious in that it's only usage lies in CQC. Not much to say beyond that.

Fangs of Lightning can be used after having first used an underground or frontal assault to detract the target from the incoming lightning bolt overhead with pinpoint accuracy. Overall a nice, quick and effective technique; needless to say, it can't be used if fighting within some sort of structure or underground cavern.
Not a fan of the many hand seals required but that's what specializations are for. This is definitely more of a set up technique to follow up with something else after, since it paralyzes the target while damaging them with omnidirectional blasts of lightning.
Cool technique (one that I confused with a similar lower ranked version earlier). I'd seldom find it worth using this with a clone or ally and if I were to employ it, would strictly use it as a means to amplify a similarly ranked water technique that's already been released. Long range which is nice, though the hand seal requirement is a bit of a deterrent.
Yeah, it's easy to mistake the C-rank jutsu with that one. Moving on!

Really refreshing to see such varied techniques (after learning fire at least >.>). Fairly straightforward, I like that the tendrils can attack multiple targets and its far reach makes it even more useful. The crackle of lightning shooting forward through the earth is a dead giveaway for the opponent to dodge or respond pretty easily though.
Super basic technique that requires raising an arm to release a simple B-ranked bold of lightning. Very linear, I don't myself using this.
Nice way to swap away small attacks or to bind a target momentarily while dealing damage at the same time. Could be used to strike at something with great precision.
Discount puppet technique. xD Not very fond of having to sustain this and having one of my arms occupied while this thing fights for me. Thematically it's pretty neat I guess.
Good. Alright time for a big one.
