 * The short and simple answer would be: because Kishimoto-sensei says so.
 * The longer answer is... well... I'd imagine it using Lightning chakra to more easily infiltrate the target's nervous system or something like that... We don't know, really. --ShounenSuki (talk 22:40, December 25, 2009 (UTC)

I reviewed the chapter several times and I did not see, or at least understand, why is this genjutsu listed as Raiton Based. I dont see thunder coming from C (the thunder I see must be coming from the Raikage, that it's just by is side), and even in the name is not listed "Raiton". Cant we delete the "Raiton based" part from the informations? LMars (talk) 19:41, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

It is listed as Raiton because the second fanbook said it was Raiton. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:57, February 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah ok. Shouldn't that be added in the info, like the info of the databooks? LMars (talk) 20:02, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Technically a fanbook, kinda different. I'd add it, but I don't know the specific way to add references, nor do I know where in the fanbook is the Raiton reference. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 20:04, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Genjutsu?
Wait... how and why is this listed as genjutsu? genjutsu is when the user affects the chakra flow of the target and uses this to affect the nervous system... this is just a really bright flash that temporarily blinds the target... its a ninjutsu that physically blinds the target, not a genjutsu that uses chakra to manipulate the nervous system.... --SkyFlicker (talk) 06:56, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Kishimoto-sensei said it was genjutsu. --ShounenSuki (talk 13:24, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * that makes absolutely no sense... lol.. sometimes i think kishimoto gets him/herself confused about whats going on, haha--SkyFlicker (talk) 23:49, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Why, pray tell, doesn't this make sense? There is a genjutsu that causes absolute darkness, so why not a genjutsu that causes blinding light? --ShounenSuki (talk 00:05, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Because it is a physical flash brought about by nature transformation, and not by attacking the chakra in the nervous system?--SkyFlicker (talk) 05:09, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Or maybe it isn't. Maybe it's an illusionary flash. Ever thought of that possibility? Darui, the Raikage, and Shī himself weren't affected by the flash. --ShounenSuki (talk 16:07, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * That could be true. Were they looking at the flash as well?--SkyFlicker (talk) 23:04, December 27, 2009 (UTC)

Ningenjutsu
I know this may sould speculative but If its a Genjutsu and (apparently) uses Raiton Chakra Couldn't It Be Possible for it to be a Hybrid Like Nintaijutsu--Nintendo-Fan (talk) 23:07, December 27, 2009 (UTC)Nintendo-Fan
