Description: The user wraps their body in a layer of lightning chakra which, instead of being used offensively, is used to electrically stimulate their nervous system. The technique speeds up neural synapses reaction time, and pushes physical prowess to the absolute limit allowing for tremendous raw speed. The technique has two different levels of activation each visibly depicted by the users hair which stands up when the technique is activated to the fullest. The first level grants a unique boost of ++ to Constitution, Strength, and a tier to Coordination and Speed. The second level grants a unique boost of a tier to Constitution, Strength and two tiers to Speed and Coordination. Raiton techniques that normally have a piercing effect such as Chirdori Sharp Spear are ineffective against both levels of this technique.
Weaknesses: While using the first level the user cannot use any other element except for Raiton. This extends to any technique ninjutsu or otherwise that requires the use of an element other than Raiton. The user may still use non-elemental ninjutsu as well as Yin or Yang Release based techniques along with Genjutsu, Fuuninjutsu, Sensory, and Summoning. While using the second level the user is restricted to Raiton or non-elemental physical techniques (Tai, Ken, Buki) only. If the majority of the user's body is submerged in a body of water the electrical current will spread up to 40 meters but they will not receive the boosts. If the majority of the user's body is submerged in the earth the electrical current will spread 60 meters but they will still not receive the boosts.

Description: The user emits lightning in the shape of a spear from its mouth, which then pierces the enemy. Its destructive power is great enough to even pierce through rock; meaning it has a high killing potential. The user can increase the number of spears to attack multiple enemies. This, coupled with the sheer speed of the lightning, makes it a difficult technique to evade. This technique is capable of being focused into a straight beam, which increases its power to A-rank but loses its stunning potential, or a bolt of lightning.
This Lightning lowers the victim's Speed by -2 advantages for two posts.

Range: 1km
Speed: N/A
Element: Lightning
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: General
Requirements: Shadow Clone
Parent Technique: Shadow Clone
Hand Seals: Clone seal or Tiger
Description: This technique allows the user to make a shadow clone infused with lightning. Because it is a shadow clone, it is able to perform techniques and interact with the environment due to it having physical substance; and also evenly distributes the user's chakra to each clone. If the clone is injured, it will revert to its natural lightning-state, at the same time electrocuting whatever has physical contact with it, hitting it for A-Rank potency.
This Lightning lowers the victim's Coordination by -1 tier for three posts.
Weaknesses: Unlike a regular Shadow Clone, this clone does not send chakra back to the user upon reverting to lightning. In addition, this follows the regular weakness with the parent technique, in that the user's clones will disperse if they're hit by heavy damage in contrast to Constitution, or go under 30% of their Stamina.
