A variation on a regular Chidori developed by Sasuke Uchiha during his two-and-a-half year training with Orochimaru, this jutsu allows the user to generate non-focused electrically charged chakra from his body, instead of concentrating it in his hand. Because the electricity isn't focused, it doesn't kill on contact, it only paralyzes its victims. This is a highly versatile technique that can be used for both offense and defense. In order to defend himself, Sasuke can emit electricity from all over his body, paralysing any nearby opponents. The Current can also be sent through the ground to stun opponents at a distance. Lastly, Sasuke can use this technique channel electricity through metallic weapons like his Kusanagi sword, increasing their cutting power, as well as making body parts cut by them numb.
