In real life if you have a live wire laying around outside and theres a storm coming around what do you think is going to happen? the lightning will strike that live wire and blow the breaker out. But none of you work with electricity and wiring I see so there's that. Notice the words "conductive" too. Holding lightning release chakra whether through a technique or not should attract lightning somewhat if there is a storm(you would be the conductor since you are holding the lightning release chakra or tech), it is also the reason Sasuke is able to control Kirin, because he used the lightning release chakra to control natural lightning. Think about how that works. Conductivity has nothing to do with where a lightning strike may occur. It's only a factor in how lightning passes through an object. Having a live wire means nothing unless it's positively-charged, large, and high up. Straight out of the National Weather Service of the United States Myth: Structures with metal, or metal on the body (jewelry, cell phones,Mp3 players, watches, etc), attract lightning.

Fact: Height, pointy shape, and isolation are the dominant factors controlling where a lightning bolt will strike. The presence of metal makes absolutely no difference on where lightning strikes. Mountains are made of stone but get struck by lightning many times a year. When lightning threatens, take proper protective action immediately by seeking a safe shelter â€“ don’t waste time removing metal. While metal does not attract lightning, it does conduct it so stay away from metal fences, railing, bleachers, etc. Sasuke manipulated lightning to make Kirin the same way Kisame manipulated the ocean to cast Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique.
