Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 4
Chakra Consumption: Mid
The electric influence that exists over the human body and its muscles allows one to control the later through unconventional methods, including through the means of chakra. After charging a small electric shock in the user’s hands, one can approach their victim and place the charged hand onto a limb or muscle on their body, unleashing the pent up shock and rendering the aforementioned target useless for the rest of the turn. Although simple, it’s highly effective when the user is faster than the victim, and can outmaneuver them as they strike. Also highly effective for keeping captives in place! Note: If used on a person’s head, they will be knocked out for a single post. Limbs are numbed for a whole turn. Stunning effect cannot be stacked. The user must touch the victim with their hand to achieve the desired effects.

Type: Offensive
Handseals: 6
Chakra Consumption: Mid
Named after the fabled imaginary leader of the sky and thunder, this technique allows the user to feel like Zeus himself as they summon a tight bolt of electricity in their hand, similar to a javelin, so that they could throw it with appeasing accuracy.

Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: 8
Chakra Consumption: x2 Mid
A highly strategic raiton jutsu, the Plasma Ball allows the user to create a thick sphere of Raiton around their body, able to shock anyone that comes in contact with it immediately. Though no other jutsu can be cast while sustaining the shield, it makes up for it by becoming an ‘ultimate’ shield of sorts from regular, simple techniques and attacks.
Mekurumeku (Blind Flash)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 5

Type: Offensive
Handseals: 4
Chakra Consumption: Mid; x2 Mid
A very simple and effective Raiton technique known throughout, the user either takes twin weaponry or their own appendages, focuses their chakra into their center, and forms a ball of pure lightning.

Danpen Inazuma (Shooting Thunder)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid
Meant more as a reactionary technique than a main avenue of offense, this jutsu allows the user to essentially shoot out small lightning bolts from a free hand to anyone within a small range. This requires no seals to conjure, and can be shot out from one’s appendage during the most heated of combat. The damage is light and the bolts shoot off in a relatively straight line, at rapid speeds.

Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 4
Chakra Consumption: Mid
Raiton- Hiraishin is a Ninjutsu utilizing the Lightning Element. After coming into physical contact with the opponent, the ninja can then raise their arm into the air and gather electricity.

Eshaku Raikou (Lightning Bow)
Rank: C
Range: Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 4
Chakra Consumption: Mid to cast, low per arrow afterwards
After performing the needed handseals, the user will wave both arms through the air, leaving Raiton chakra behind in the shape of bow and arrow.

Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 9
Chakra Consumption: High
Raiton • Kaminari Shibari is a Ninjutsu utilizing the Lightning Element.

Ichiren Inazuma (Chain Lightning)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 12
Chakra Consumption: High
An advanced version of ‘Shooting Thunder,' the Chain of Lightning allows the user to pass strong currents of lightning from victim to victim, up to three, within a thirty meter radius. The user outstretches their hands, so that the energy focusing within is displaced rapidly towards their target. Once they are hit, the victims are paralyzed and helpless, and the bolt then proceeds to jump and hit anyone else within range. Excellent when outnumbered, though one must use it with care, for it takes a great toll on the user’s chakra pool.
Karasuhebi no Jutsu (Shocking Snake Technique)
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 8

This snake is made comprised of pure lightning, and has advanced intellect of its own. It can communicate with the user mentally and follow orders well. This snake is useful for quick gashing and shocking attacks, and if one can manage to coil around the user, the equivalent of a strong shock courses through their body whole, constricting and shocking.Note: Upon latching onto the victim, the snake can deliver shocks rendering the captured area numb for the entire time the snake is caught on. The duration this snake is "usable" is two post.
Chidori (One Thousand Birds)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 3
Chakra Consumption: High
One of the rare techniques within the shinobi world involving both shape and nature manipulation, Chidori is a Raiton based ninjutsu developed for the purpose of ensured assassination purposes. Activating the body to focus chakra to the hand, the user's hand become enveloped by an electrical force. This force is their chakra altered in nature to an electrical current. By altering the shape of the force, similar to an electrical discharge, they can decide the power and range of the attack. After concentrating all the chakra into the arm, the user rushes forward in order to use the power of the thrust from the chakra to pierce any object with the extended forearm. Due to the high speed, the force emits a sound like a thousand birds chirping which gave the technique its name.Note: Pierces through barriers 'A' rank and below, and instantly paralyzes the victim's body upon impact for the remainder of the turn it was used, presuming the strike doesn't kill the victim. This technique will remain active for one full post after being cast, before it needs to be recast.
Chidori Nagashi (Thousand Birds Current)Rank: ARange: Close (0m ~ 5m)Type: OffensiveHandseals: -Chakra Consumption: High
The first variation of Chidori involves the displacement of the concentrated electrical currents all across the user's surroundings. Instead of merely focusing the electrical force to a specific point on their body, the user is now able to extend it outside of their body in general and through objects which they are holding. This allows the user to create a protective zone of electricity around their perimeter, which can shock and immobilize their foes, presumably by attacking their nervous system. When using this attack on a great number of enemies at once, it can effectively double as an instant defence. The body of the person touched by the Chidori will misinterpret the lightning nature as "electrical signals from the nerves", making its muscles contract. This causes the body to involuntarily go stiff, while at the same time receives damage. Best of all, this attack can also be channelled through the ground to increase the range of the attack.Note: This technique is capable of paralyzing multiple opponents simultaneously (up to a maximum of three) for one full turn. Despite being raiton based, this technique is somewhat slower than the rest, making it relatively easy to evade it (more so due to the fact it simply covers the ground). This technique can also be applied to a weapon in order to dramatically increase its cutting strength. The user must first cast chidori in order to use this technique. This technique requires chidori to be used prior to the activation of this technique.
Chidori Eisou (Thousand Birds Sharp Spear)Rank: ARange: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)Type: OffensiveHandseals: -Chakra Consumption: High
The second variation of Chidori involves a similar extension of the original charge, but this time, in a more concentrated, linear fashion. On a whim the user is able to shape their Raiton Chakra to form an extending spear of pure lightning, aiming to pierce whatever it is they are aiming at. The best part? This spear takes on Chidori's characteristics, including it's ability to cut through anything which stands in its path, allowing the lightning sword to strike its target with ease. Finally, this variation is similar to Chidori Nagashi in that it causes the target to go numb from the excessive electrical charge. This technique requires chidori to be used prior to the activation of this technique.
Chidori Senbon (Thousand Birds Needles)Rank: ARange: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)Type: OffensiveHandseals: –Chakra Consumption: High
The final Chidori variation is, as its name implies, a fully projectile version of the lightning discharge. Once the user summons their Chidori, they are able to further shape the elemental nature to form ten small, sharp senbon. Sized like normal senbon, these needles take on Chidori's characteristics, including it's ability to cut through most anything which stands in its path, and shock everything in its wake. Finally, upon impact, each senbon lets loose the full electrical potential encased within on their target. This technique requires chidori to be used prior to the activation of this technique.
Kaminari Ookami (Thunder Wolf)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 10
Chakra Consumption: High
Utilizing the Lighting Element the user will charge an electrical current into their hand. Using this charged and condensed amount of lightning, the user will send out a wolf made of lighting to attack their target. Unfortunately the wolf pulls lightning from the user’s palm limiting the techniques range.Note: If wolf is able to bite into an opponent, the electricity can paralyze the foe either in just the limb itself or spreading through the body depending on the length of contact.
Raigeki no Yoroi (Lightning Strike Armor)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive; Supplementary
Handseals: 6
Chakra Consumption: High to cast, mid to sustain
A defensive technique, the Yoroi technique is as its name implies – a set of lightning based armor, which shocks anything that comes in contact with it. After a series of handseals, lightning from the sky showers upon the user, coating them in a bright blue coating. As they glow, all forms of conductors will make victim’s more susceptible to damage, and any taijutsu upon the armor will leave the user’s appendages feeling paralyzed. Excellent when outnumbered, or simply facing an opponent that favors taijutsu.Note: The user experiences no benefits under the effects of Raigeki no Yoroi. Instead, the user is simply able to paralyze whatever portion of their enemy they come in contact with for a full turn. While this technique is active, no other jutsu spare for raiton-based techniques can be used.
Raiton Bunshin no Jutsu (Lightning Clone Technique)
Rank: A
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 3
Chakra Consumption: 3x High
With this technique, the Raiton user is able to call upon aid from a perfect copy of themselves. Comprised purely of lightning, this clone retains the user's movement speed and strength. While easily capable of being use for offensive means, the Raiton Bunshin also makes for an equally solid defense due to its ability to harness Raiton-based techniques.Note: As strong and durable as a normal Kage Bunshin while also able to move freely, cast Raiton jutsu as well as paralyze upon contact and/or destruction.
Rairyuu no Tatsumaki (Lightning Dragon Tornado)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 12
Chakra Consumption: x2 High
Similar to the ‘Lightning Armor’ technique, this jutsu allows the user to be both defended and guarded by their own lightning. After a series of seals, lightning from the sky falls onto the user in a steady stream and the user begins to spin in place rapidly, suspended slightly in the air by their own chakra. During their spin, a vortex of lightning and raging winds comes forth, birthing from the top the head of a dragon comprised purely of lightning. The dragon can attack anything within its range, either directly with a snap of its maw, or indirectly by passing next to its target and sending smaller bolts from its side. It moves at frightening speeds just as long as the user keeps spinning.Note: User is defended by the effects of Raigeki no Yoroi, and can even absorb enemy Raiton attacks to power the dragon and restore their chakra. User must be spinning to keep dragon active. Bolts in general do not distinguish between friend or foe, and the dragon can only attack one general target at a time. Chakra restoration is equivalent to below one tier absorbed. ( Low = None, Mid = Low, etc).
Myaku (Static Pulse)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 13
Chakra Consumption: x2 High to cast, High to maintain
As its name implies, the ‘Static Pulse’ allows the user to deliver several quick pulses of shocking Raiton chakra, intended to latch onto any living chakra networks, invade them, and shock away until nothing is left. This is allowed because the caster coats the region of the technique, thirty meters, in a thin layer of his refined Raiton chakra. It spreads perfectly along the ground at fast speeds unless one has special eyes to pierce through such movement. Although brief, several can be shot at once, repeatedly, keeping the enemy at bay in a last minute ditch effort. Excellent when outnumbered.
Shishikyu Funzen (Shocking Tiger’s Wrath)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 10
Chakra Consumption: x2 High
The Shishikyu technique allows the user to use their prowess in the Raiton arts in order to create several tigers consisting purely of Raiton energy. Once birthed, they can move at decent speeds, and can defend the user form attacks, as well as attack others. Creates a single large, 1 meter tiger comprised of pure Raiton essence. The maximum duration this tiger can be sustained is two posts. Dark blue and constantly shining, these tigers move fast to strike their target, and can swipe quickly as an attack. Only attacks that can disrupt their essence can hurt them, and they carry an ultimate attack which involves the user holding a particular handseal so that they can all converge on a particular enemy, hurting it greatly. An indirect strike from these tigers (a slash of its claws, a bite) renders the victim's body numb for a half a second, and receiving a full blast from a kamikaze strike leaves the victim paralyzed for a half a turn.
Raimuraito (Limelight)
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 20
Chakra Consumption: Massive
Limelight is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Lightning Element. Regarded as one of the ultimate Raiton jutsu, Limelight is created through the simultaneous Raiton manipulation of several shinobi at once. To begin, each ninja will take their place in one of the four cardinal directions. The ninja will then activate the jutsu, sending Raiton from their location over the center of the target. When all four lightning arcs converge, they combine to rain down massive destruction on the area directly underneath. The jutsu is rumored to be powerful enough to totally turn a village below into ash, though some of that is peer-to-peer exaggeration. The jutsu requires all four ninja to activate; if one of the users is taken out, the technique will fail.
Raikiri (Lightning Edge)
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 3
Chakra Consumption: 3x High
Though little has changed in execution, the power of Chidori is now increased even further, no longer able to be withstood by normal means. The penetrative power of the Chidori is increased tremendously, but so too is the chakra cost and the toll it takes on the body. It is a more refined and powerful version of Chidori, Raikiri is capable of piercing through nearly any substance (up to the full length of the user's arm). Presuming the strike is not fatal, this technique paralyzes the opponent for a full turn. On top of this, once learned all Chidori sub-jutsu can be performed under the power of Raikiri.Note: Other than its penetrative strength, this technique also ha a high probable cost that paralysis will occur to those struck by the full onslaught of this technique.
Orochi Daija (Zeus’ Leviathan)
Rank: S
Range: Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 25
Chakra Consumption: Massive
This technique brings both onto the battlefield an awesomely large serpent like entity comprised of pure lightning. This colossal creature moves fast and can climb onto all forms of surfaces. The trick is that it is comprised of Raiton energy, so it doesn’t actually slither – it hovers ever so softly over anything it chooses to cross, temporarily changing the surface’s charge in order for it to be compatible with the beast. However, as large as it is, size of a large summon, it’s rather dumb, and follows only the most basic of the user’s mental commands. Serpent lasts until destroyed, and can withstand up to one 'S' ranked strike. When destroyed, serpent explodes in a brilliant blinding flash and many small yet strong thunder bolts that shooting randomly, affecting ALL except the user with a range equivalent to the serpent's total size.
