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 leave them vulnerable to a finishing strike. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]  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.

Instead, due to the control the user has to exert over it, it moves far slower, which can give opponents time to still react. <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-8" style="font-family:'OpenSans',Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;">[9] <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-9" style="font-family:'OpenSans',Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;">[10] <span style="font-family:'OpenSans',Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:23.799999237060547px;"> Lightning Release is common to the ninja of  Kumogakure<span style="font-family:'OpenSans',Verdana,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:23.799999237060547px;">.
