Lightning Release

is one of the five basic s.
== Overview ==
To perform most Lightning Release jutsu, users must convert their chakra into electricity. A simple way to utilize this electricity is by channeling it into ninja tools, enhancing the weapon's cutting power by causing it to vibrate or producing a numbing effect upon contact. Certain Jutsu can concentrate the lightning chakra in the users hand, causing severe piercing damage to anything or anyone it touches. Less frequently, users can control natural lightning.
Lightning Release is common among Kumogakure ninja, who apply it in various ways: such as a medium for genjutsu, making it easier to entrance opponents; generating a unique Black Lightning; coating their body with electricity to shield themself from harm, increase their speed, and enhance their physical attacks.
Lightning Release is naturally strong against Earth Release and weak against Wind Release. This strength against earth is explained by the natural conductivity of impurities in the earth. When combined with Water Release, lightning can increase the water's range or imbue it with a numbing quality. Individuals who heavily use Water Release, such as members of the , are particularly vulnerable to Lightning Release. When Lightning Release is combined with other elements, it can create various kekkei genkai: lightning and water form Storm Release; lightning and earth are suggested to form Explosion Release.
