Raikage's Lightning Release Armor.
- Name: Lightning Release Armor (雷遁の鎧, Raiton no Yoroi)
- Type: Unknown rank, Supplementary, Defense
- User: Current Raikage
- Debut (Manga): Chapter 460
By wrapping his body in a layer of Lightning chakra, the Raikage can electrically stimulate his nervous system and speed up his neural synapses to react faster to danger and push his physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing him to gain tremendous raw speed and power.
While using this technique, his reflexes are comparable to that of the Fourth Hokage, making it difficult, if not impossible, even for the Sharingan to keep up with him. His strength is also heightened enough to make his strikes cause enormous amounts of damage to whatever they strike. The armor also increases his defense, drastically reducing, if not completely negating, damage from incoming attacks as even a direct Chidori was barely able to pierce the Raikage. When he used it with all his Chakra his hair got longer similar to Orochimaru's Juinjutsu.
