Lightning Release

The area of elemental Nature Transformation are techniques that allow the user to generate lightning by increasing the high frequency vibrations of their chakra. Lightning Release also seems to rely a lot on paralyzing the target so that they are unable to move and leave them vulnerable to a finishing strike.

Lightning Release techniques are fast-moving and cause not only electrical but piercing damage as well. Common to the ninja of Kumogakure, a Lightning Release jutsu is naturally strong against an Earth jutsu, and weak against Wind. Similar to wind chakra, lightning is commonly infused into bladed weapons through Chakra Flow for increased sharpness through vibrations, with the added effect of inducing numbness.

In addition, possibly along with Water, Lightning is presumably one of the components for the Storm release nature.
