raikunis jutsus

D-rank

Dai Raiken
(Grand Lightening Fist) The user focuses chakra to form electricity in their fists. This adds a powerful shock to their punches.

Dendou Kawarimi no Jutsu
(Electric Replacement Technique) The technique uses the standard Kawarimi no Jutsu but adds a strong electric charge to whatever object is replacing the ninja. When the replacement is struck, it delivers a powerful shock to its attacker. (Note: Kawarimi is required)

Denka no Jutsu
(Electric Charge Technique) This simple ninjutsu allows the ninja to impart an electrical charge to an object which will give a powerful shock to whoever touches the object subsequently. Mostly this is used to impart a charge to a shuriken, kunai, or other metal weapon, however Chuunins and Jounins may use it to impart charge to objects that are not normally known for their conductive properties such as a wooden staff.

Raikou Nankan no Jutsu
("Lightning Barrier") Through gaining an understanding of how chakra may be used to create lightning, the user of this technique develops a method to counteract the process. This technique creates a personal barrier around the user, causing chakra-affected lightning that comes into contact with it to disperse. It will completely protect the user from lightning techniques of an equal level or lower to the barrier used, while techniques of a higher rank will only have their effects reduced. This technique requires a constant flow of chakra to maintain, and higher ranks increase proportionally in cost. (D - A Rank, user must have ninjutsu listed as a strength and must specialize in lightning ninjutsu)

Raijirai
(Lightning Mine) Through the use of this technique, the user channels chakra into an item or tag. The charged item can then be set wherever the user wants. The item functions like an exploding tag in the sense that the tag can be timed, proximity, or remote in its detonation. Once detonated, the tag releases a large amount of electricity in the radius of a normal exploding tag, delivering a heavy shock to anyone caught up in the trap.

Sasurai
(Piercing Lightning) Through the use of this technique, the user is able to channel lightning chakra through any object and give it a piercing tip and/or cutting edge. If the charge is put on a weapon that can already pierce or cut, then the edge is made keener.

Tanbou Raikou
(Searching Lightning) The user slams one or two palms onto the ground, sending a stream of chakra-lightning into it. The lightning will zig-zag forward (or whichever way the hands were pointing) until it hits a target (tree, rock, person, etc). The more chakra pumped into this jutsu, and higher level the nin, the more powerful and more 'fingers' of lightning can be produced, up to 10 fingers of lightning.


C-rank

Houden no Jutsu
(Electrical Discharge Technique) By focusing their chakra, the user is able to convert it into electricity and control it, emitting a strong burst of electricity in a 10 foot dome that deals a heavy shock to all of those caught within the area. If used on water, the area and damage from shock is twice that of a normal use as long as the water covers the total area.


Ikadzuchi no Kiba
(Lightning Bolt Fang) Through the use of this technique, the user channels chakra into their hands or weapon and points them at the sky. A plume of lightning will jet up toward the sky above and gather in the clouds, crackle, and then come back down, having gained more speed and power in doing so, the final product far exceeding the Raikurai in power.

Kage Rai no Jutsu
(Shadow Lightning Technique) Created by the sennin Shinkai Han and shared across the Hidden Cloud Village. This jutsu causes the user's arms and palms to become wreathed in lightning. The ninja can use this to enhance their unarmed strike, or they can discharge it at once, arcing a massive amount of electricity into a single foe. (Note: Have Raikurai, Dai Raiken and strength in taijutsu as requirement)

Kenrai no Jutsu
(Blades of Lightning Technique) A technique used in with any normal style sword weapon or the Lightning Sword technique. Crackling lightning begins to encompass the blade of the weapon(s), then the user is able to swing single or multiple times with each seperate attack releasing a high impact shocking edge of curved lightning toward a single opponent or group of attackers.

Komudenshi
(Electronic Infiltration) Through the use of this technique, the user is able to travel through electronic devices such as electrical lines. As long as there is some sort of output area to come out of. Travel is incredibly fast, but it isnt instant. The longer the distance, the longer it takes to travel it. The technique is like shunshin except that it covers larger areas of travel and is more limited by when and where it can be used.

Manako no Same
(Shark's Eye) While not truly related to sharks or an eye, this ninjutsu is a method of perception that mimics a shark's ability to sense electric fields. Because air is a much poorer medium to conduct electricity, the effectiveness is greatly less than a shark's natural sensory abilities. The practitioner is able to pinpoint organisms that produce bio-electricity (essentially any animal) within a twenty foot radius. The technique does not yield any descriptive information about the organism, simply its location. Strong electric fields, such as other electric ninjutsu, are capable of rendering this technique temporarily useless. Additionally, the user must channel chakra to maintain this sensory enhancement. Unless their chakra control is precise, it is best used deliberately as opposed to a constant passive activation.

Nimoitsu
(Overload) Through the use of this technique, the user radiates their chakra through the air around them, overloading and disrupting any electronic equipment around them. With enough focused chakra output, the user can also make electronic devices explode. The technique can be focused or spread over an area in order to block out communication lines, radio frequencies, etc.

Rai Bunshin no Jutsu
(Lightning Clone Technique) The lightning clone is actually a ball of electricity in side a normal clone because the user's chakra sustains the lightning the clone can sustain limited amounts of damage and can also shock its opponent. (Note: C-rank)

Rai Katana no Jutsu
(Lightning Sword Technique) Converting chakra to lightning, the ninja creates a long sword of lightning. Its length can be varied by the amount of chakra used.

Rai no Muchi
(Whip of Lightning) Through the use of this technique, the user creates a long crackling whip of lightning. The length of the whip varies with the amount of chakra used, the whip impacts like a normal whip, and it has an added shocking property.

Raidangan
(Lightning Projectile) Through the use of this technique, the user gathers lightning into the palm of their hand and around their wrist and arm. Once the lightning chakra has gathered, a projectile made of lightning can be fired at the target(s). The projectile is about the size of an arrow, but it is much sharper than a kunai or shuriken, and is launched with much more force and speed than a normal nin can throw it. Up to three projectiles can be fired at once. The technique only needs to be used one time to gather the lightning chakra to the user and continue drawing it out. As such, the user can continue drawing out projectiles in subsequent posts until another technique is used, though each projectile used requires an equal amount of chakra.

Raikou Hebi
(Lightning Snakes) Before the initiation of this technique, the user lays out (or has thrown out) lines of wire. The user then sends chakra that has been converted into an electrical state through the wires, causing them to whip around and shock anything they touch.

Rakurai no Jutsu
(Lightning Bolt Skill) User shoots a lightning bolt out of the palms at the victim. If it hits, they victim will be electrified

Raikyuu
(Lightning Ball) Through the use of this technique, the user channels chakra into the palms of their hands, forming a ball of condensed lightning. The user then throws the lightning ball at the enemy which will curve slightly to help hit the target. The lightning ball deals a heavy shock.

Rairou no Jutsu
(Lightning Prison Skill) Variant of Suiton Suirou no jutsu, and required one hand. The user traps the victim in a cubic square of lightning. Willingly the user can shock the trapped victim with a continuous amount of weak electric currents. If anyone else touches the outside of the prison will be shocked (Note: Like Suirou no Jutsu.)

Raiton - Keiraidan no Jutsu
(Lightning Release - Piercing Thunder Bullet Technique) Formed after the rabbit, dragon, ox, monkey quartet of handseals, the Keiraidan is a lightning bolt which lacks the secondary, yet infamous electric component. Using the Raikurai technique as a base, the speed and piercing components of the bolt were increased substantially. From a distance of five to ten meters, the Keiraidan will pierce completely through a human being. At its maximum distance of twenty five meters, the Keiraidan operates much like an arrow and merely pierces into the body. A technique useful for quick assassinations. (C-rank)

Raiton - Takarai no Jutsu
(Lightning Release - Thunder Hawks Technique) After forming the bird, ox, monkey handseals, the user releases chakra into the air. This chakra then crackles and takes the shape of hawks formed from pure electric nature chakra. These hawks then home in on the opponent, with the ability to pierce as if they were shuriken and electrocute upon contact. The average number of hawks created with one casting numbers between half to a full dozen. (C-rank)

Seiteki Shigamitsuku
(Static Cling) Sends a weak wave of electricity across the ground. If hit, the object (shoes, feet, arms, legs, kunai, etc), will be seemingly glued to the ground. Water can dissipate the electricity, however, freeing the object. The cling can also be broken by someone with strong physical strength or an equal amount of chakra to oppose it with. (C-rank)

B-rank

Dai Fuusugai
(Powerful Storm) The user makes a large centralized storm with extreme crashing winds that make it extremely hard to maintain balance. The main aspect of this, however, is to allow the user to control where the lightning would strike. This technique drains chakra in a massive way, usually draining even the strongest of jounin within a minutes time.

Kusari Raikurai
(Chain Lighting) Through the use of this technique, the user sends a lighting bolt towards a target, which then leaps from target to target after the first, damaging each specified. After each jump, the attack gets weaker.

Kuudenkou no Jutsu
(Static Rain Technique) A technique that, if used while the target is directly exposed to rain, significantly wet, or immersed in water, will cause all lightning jutsu to zero in on the target.

Rai Kabe no Jutsu
(Lightning Wall Technique) The ninja expels chakra from key chakra pores and turns it to lightning creating an effect similar to a Vander graph machine. Only in this case, the charge is so huge that electricity arcs out towards incoming projectiles deflecting them, or strikes close targets, injuring them.

Raigeki no Yoroi
(Lightning Strike Armor) Through the use of this technique, the user performs the needed seals and creates a disk of lightning above their head. The lightning then shoots down to envelop the user's body in a form of lightning armor. The armor provides minor protection against physical attacks and protects against lightning jutsu of C-rank or lower. In addition, the armor deals a heavy shock to anyone who directly strikes the user.

Raikozan
(Lightning great cut) Raikozan changes the user's chakra in the form of lightning, forming massive bolts of black electricity between the user's hands, which is then shaped into the form of a massive blade or trowel shape. The jutsu itself is perfect for attacking large targets or piercing through barriers or walls. Since the jutsu drains a tremendous ammount of chakra, the jutsu can only be done when the user is in dire need, and only then for a brief period for a singular slash.

Raiton - Hyakurai no Jutsu
(Lightning Element - One Hundred Thunder Claps Technique) This technique involves a physical lightning component, and also a secondary sonic component. The user channels a large amount of lightning into their palms and then claps them together. The lightning is compressed and then forced out in a shockwave around the ninja that radiates for about twenty feet in every direction. While not deadly, the shock can be incapacitating. As a secondary effect, the clapping of the palms and discharge of lightning creates an abnormally large sound once described by the former Raikage as "the force of one hundred thunder claps" (hence the technique's name). This sonic component is much like a sonic boom and is able to shatter glass, rupture eardrums, and even knock people off their feet.

Raiton - Rai Boufuu no Jutsu
(Lightning Element - Lightning Storm Technique) For this ninjutsu, the user channels chakra into a handful of kunai, shuriken, needles, or other forms of projectiles, and tosses them into the air. Once thrown, the objects release their chakra in the form of powerful lightning strikes. These strikes can target the same enemy, or multiple foes. The only limit on how many objects can be used this way is simply how much the user can throw with one hand. However, the more that are objects thrown, the more chakra that is used. (Note: Jounin. must have lightning/electric ninjutsu listed as a strength; Hand seals: Ram, Rat, Hare


Raiton: Gian
(Lightning Release: False Darkness) A lightning type attack useful at all ranges, Gian is performed by first forming the necessary handseals, ending with the raiton-element oriented handseal of monkey. Lightning nature chakra is then focused through both arms of the user. The arms are then extended forwards powerfully in a pushing motion. A momentary crackle of lightning between both hands serves as a warning before an electric blue "spear" of lightning is launched forth from between the user's hands. A fast and powerful attack, the Gian covers distance at an alarming rate and can easily kill an opponent if they are hit directly. The sheer power of the technique also grants it the ability to damage an opponent who is still relatively close to the attack, should they dodge it. An added feature of the Gian is the ability to split into two separate bolts of lightning to strike another target. The power of the attack is halved, making it only twice as powerful as the average Raikurai. (B-Rank)

Raiton: Toruneedo Raitoningu
(Tornado Lightning) Through the use of this technique, the user performs the needed handseals and flows chakra into their hands. Two lightning bolts about 50 feet long shoot out of the user's hands, remain, and begin to whip around wildly, completely destroying the surroundings. The lightning whips deal a heavy shock and a lot of destructive force. The user can control these whips only slightly with a major exertion of their own chakra.

Ryuuraidan no Jutsu
(Thunder Dragon Blast Skill) The user creates a blast of lightning shaped like a large dragon, and send it thundering towards their opponent(s). If this attack hits, the victims will most likely be shocked to death. (Note: Like Suiryuudan.)


Sandaa Saaburu
(Thunder Saber) Through the use of this technique, the user will perform the needed handseals and flow chakra into their hand. The chakra will be highly condensed and will make the user's next punch strike with a heavy, earth shattering, explosive impact.

Yurezuchi no Jutsu
(Quaking Thunder Technique) The user raises their hand and a bolt of lightning strikes into their arm. The user will then proceed to slam their hand into the ground, cracking it and unleashing a torrent of lightning bolts through the ground and at the target.


A-rank

Raiya Houchou
(Lightning arrow step) By harnessing the earth's electrical fields to generate electricity, this works as long as the user's legs are connected to the earth. When in use, this allows the user to nearly instantly to close short distances and strike within the same motion. Usable at distances of several feet or less, this allows one to deliver an electrically charged palm thrust should it connect. If no contact is made between the ground and the user's legs, this is unusable. There is a downside as the user cannot change directions once the technique is initiated, thus allowing a more skilled opponent to dodge if they see it coming. (Rank A)

Touch of the Lightning God [Raijin no Hadazawari]
Rank: Jounin
Type: Ninjutsu
Element:Raiton
The user gathers a large amount of chakra into his fingertips and converts it to electricity. The electricity then bursts from the fingertips and seeks out the victim. The lightning doesn't rend the flesh, but instead eletrifys the opponent, seeking out and attacking the heart and nervous system. The pain this jutsu causes is said to be unbearable. Victims of this jutsu frequently have heart attacks within 24 hours after being hit, so medical care is highly advised.

Rank: Jounin

Violent Thunderclap [Hageshii Jinrai]
Rank: S-Ranked
Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Element:Raiton
An extremely powerful Raiton ninjutsu that requires the pinnacle of chakra control to perform. The user gathers massive amounts of chakra into his palms and flattens it out into a disc extending over each hand that absorb any ambient electricity. Once the discs have collected enough ambient energy, the user smashes his palms together, creating a deafening thunderclap accompanied by a hemispherical electric shockwave that travels outward from the hands. With all of this occurring within a few seconds, it is clear to see why the utmost of chakra control is required.

Dance of the Condemned [Keito no Mai]
Rank: S-Ranked
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:Raiton

Name: Flying Thunder God Technique (飛雷神の術, Hiraishin no Jutsu; Viz "Flying Thunder God Jutsu")
Type: S-rank, Supplementary, All ranges[1]
User: Minato Namikaze
Debut (Manga): Chapter 240
This jutsu was created by Minato Namikaze, and quite possibly the reason behind his nickname, "Konoha's Yellow Flash" (木ノ葉の黄色い閃光 Konoha no Kīroi Senkō). It allows the user to move himself to another location in the blink of an eye. Although it is often compared with the Body Flicker Technique, the speed of this jutsu is much greater. In principle, this jutsu is similar to the Reverse Summoning Technique, as it revolves around manipulation of time and space rather than accelerated movement, but instead of bringing something to users, it sends them somewhere. Additionally, it makes no noise and produces no puff of smoke, allowing the user to appear behind someone unnoticed.

To activate this jutsu, the user needs a special seal or "jutsu formula" (術式, jutsu-shiki) to mark the destination. After this is done, the user enters a dimensional void that almost instantaneously transport himself to the location of the seal. Minato applied the formula in advance to weapons such as kunai. By giving one such kunai to a person, he can immediately teleport to that person at any time. He can also apply the mark to a touched area, such as his opponent or some other surrounding feature.

Furthermore, if an object marked with the seal may touch the ground, Minato will immediately know the position of everyone close to the object. This technique also possesses surveillance purposes as he can continuously sense where anyone is as long as the seal is on them. No matter where an opponent is, he arrived directly next to them. The jutsu is also very unique because it requires no use of chakra, due to a special secondary seal that emits the same chakra as him, allowing him to have an instant connection to the area.

It is because of this technique that Konoha came out victorious in the Iwagakure-Konohagakure Ninja War. After having his subordinates toss marked kunai randomly into the enemy ranks, Minato used the technique to appear within their ranks, using the great speed of this jutsu to seemingly appear to be in several places at once and wipe out entire squadrons one by one in moments before they could even react.

Name: Kirin (麒麟)[1]
Type: S-rank, Offensive, Long Range (10m+)
User: Sasuke Uchiha
Debut (Manga): Chapter 391
Kirin is an extremely powerful, one-shot lightning technique that strikes in the blink of an eye. The user draws lightning directly from thunder clouds to supplement the power of his or her strike, and controls it with chakra. Because the technique uses natural lightning as opposed to elemental chakra, its power easily outmatches all other Lightning Releases. However, the extreme preparation time required also decreases the technique's efficiency. This technique in the absence of active thunder clouds requires Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique or other such techniques to produce the necessary storm conditions to initiate it.

To initiate a lightning storm, and then to take control of lightning in order to guide it to a target while using the shape manipulation shown above, drained even Sasuke of most of his chakra. In addition, usage seems to destroy the thunder clouds as the sky cleared up of clouds after use. As such, this technique can only be used once in a fight. However, natural lightning can reach a temperature of 30,000 °C, so that even if it misses the target, the sizable blast will likely eliminate the enemy. Itachi withstood this technique by using Susanoo.

Debut (Manga): Chapter 30
The Lightning Blade is an enhanced form of the Chidori with the same effects and drawbacks, but more concentrated. It is said to have gained its name after Kakashi split a bolt of lightning with it. Because the Chidori is already powerful on its own, the Lightning Blade requires better chakra control, which is exemplified in its appearance. The Chidori appears as simply a mass of white electrical chakra in the user's hand, while the Lightning Blade is more focused and blue. In Part I he is limited to using it four times a day, but by Part II he can use it at least six times.

Kakashi has shown different ways of forming and using the Lightning Blade. During his confrontation with Orochimaru in Part I, he creates it without using hand seals. In Part II he is able to form a Lightning Blade in both of his hands to counteract Lightning Release: False Darkness. Soon afterwards he uses it in a downward cutting motion rather than a thrust to free Naruto Uzumaki from Kakuzu.

To keep up with its name, Lightning Blade now emits the sound of electricity, rather than birds chirping.
