And the only reason I brought up Rasen-Shuriken was only for comparison ( Just to show how powerful Kirin is )

Yes, Raikiri is S-rank too. But that doesn't necessarily make it equal to Kirin. That Rank 'S' vastly varies among hundreds of Jutsu. Not all S-Rank Jutsu are of the same level. Hell, some are leagues apart. Like for example: Rasen-Shuriken and Lightning Cutter. Just look at the difference between the power levels. Rasen-Shuriken is FAAAAAR more dangerous, while both are literaly classfied in the same rank ( i.e the 'S' rank ).

I don't know about real Lightning. But according to what we are told about Kirin, it seriously makes it impossible for anyone to react to it ( Except for only a few probably ). Perhaps I will check it out than. You are probably talking about Kakuzu getting hit by Rasenshuriken? As for S-Rank argument, what you said is correct but you have given wrong conclusions. For starters Raikiri is proven to be strongest of lightning release since it actually stopped a real lightning strike. Whereas Kirin has shown nothing of the sort. In fact I could actually argue that its weaker than real lightning considering how a usual lightning strike is not a shot but a barrage. Not only that, but usual lighting strike is concentrated to a single point whereas this kirin is more like an Area attack which would logically decreases its effectiveness and destructive power. And it's pretty easy to google it or even calculate it if need be. So yes lightning strikes have much lesser reaction time.
