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 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.

In addition, along with Water, Lightning is one of the components for the Storm Release nature, and possibly the components for Blaze Release.
