RAITON || LIGHTNING RELEASE

Lightning Release (雷遁, Raiton, English TV: Lightning Style) 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 for piercing damage and fast movement. The electricity paralyses the target so that they are unable to move and leaves them vulnerable to a finishing strike.While uncommon, lightning can be infused into bladed weapons in a way similar to Wind Release through chakra flow for increased piercing power through vibrations, with the added effect of inducing numbness. When the technique is released from their bodies, and thus not requiring physical contact, it does not move as fast as true lightning. Instead, due to the control the user has to exert over it, it moves far slower, which can give opponents time to still react.

Upon doing so, the user will channel the electricity by raising a conductor, such as a Sword, into the air, and control the lightning, forming it into a ferocious beast, which will then swoop down upon an opponent. Because it is using existing lightning, this technique is able to exceed a ninjas normal capabilities, allowing them to control intense amounts. The lightning beast will roar downward upon an enemy faster then any normal ninja could ever hope to dodge, annihilating them and creating an intense explosion, the size of the blast depending on the ninja.
