Lightning Release is an innate ability that comes from converting one's chakra. The only output from it comes from the user exclusively.

Nature Energy does not come from the user.

I mean, Naruto beat Kurama to take his chakra and activate Nine Tailed Chakra Mode. Are we gonna call that his own power just because he trained for it and beat Kurama for it? Course not. Just because you train for something, doesn't mean it's not an outside power source.

Any jutsu that uses existing materials from the environment doesn't count then. Goodbye most water/earth users.

Ten Ten doesn't count either. Anyone with Kankuro's fighting style doesn't count. Temari doesn't count. Sword weilders don't count. Sasuke's Kirin does not count as valid jutsu then either. Kiba doesn't count because he needs Akamaru most of the time. Minato might not even count because he isn't truly super fast, the seal moves him....

So long as it is a skill attainable to anyone by training, then it's not an outside power source. If it is an ability gained by taking it from someone else, then its an outside source.
