This technique is the strongest ability of the Third Raikage, whereby he concentrates a considerable amount of lightning chakra into just the finger-tips of a single hand and then performs a thrusting motion that together, allows him to pierce even the most robust defences with relative ease.

The intensity and strength of the technique can be proportionally increased by reducing the number of fingers involved.[1] This ranges from a maximum of four fingers, where the technique is at its weakest, down to just a single digit, where the concentration of chakra is so great that it extends well beyond the finger in a lone point, referred to as the "strongest spear" [2] and capable of piercing the Lightning Release Armour.[3]

Trivia

  • A nukite (貫手, literally meaning: crossbeam hand) is a move used in martial arts like karate, where you strike the opponent with your finger stretched out. A four–finger nukite (四本貫手, yonhon nukite) uses the four fingers and, when aimed at the throat, is called a hell stab (地獄突き, jigokuzuki). The two–finger nukite (二本貫手, nihon nukite) and one–finger nukite (一本貫手, ippon nukite) are also used. A three–finger nukite (三本貫手, sanbon nukite) seems to be somewhat rare.
