Thunder Lance

## Jutsu Effects

Formed when the user creates a cone shaped vortex of electric chakra, then extending it to a long spear shaped object, the chakra is constantly spinning around itself like a ribbon tower, keeping all the volatile energy stored and moving to keep itself from exploding, this process takes a great amount of chakra, and in the best case scenario, should only be used against an opponent that is unable to dodge the attack. After forming the thunder lance, the user winds up and throws it like a javelin, releasing it as the chakra handles the rest. As the lance rockets through the air at double the speed of a regular lightning nature attack, the lance is still rotating upon itself, much like a bullet or a well thrown football. When striking a physical wall, armor, or landscape in the way of its path, the thunder lance's nature as a spinning lightning based technique allows it to vaporize, drill through, and electrocute anything it touches, leaving a charred, 9 inch in diameter hole in anything it comes in contact with, when striking a chakra based barrier or seal, the excited nature of the jutsu and the rotation of the attack will unravel the very barrier itself, travelling straight through it, occasionally unraveling it so far that instead of simply piercing the barrier or seal, it spiderweb cracks the entirety of the barrier, shattering it. Eventually, after a certain distance as judged by the amount of chakra the user applies to the attack when forming it, the lance itself unravels, this sudden instability causes the attack to collapse upon itself in a massive explosion characterized by extreme heat, force, and a blinding flash of light.

## Jutsu History

Mizo originally became curious about breaching jutsu's after observing the use of a number of sealing and shield Jutsu, as well as a time much earlier where he observed a ninja create a barrier that withstood a punch from 4 Inazuma clan Jonin using their kekkei genkai simultaneously. Seeing objects of defense superior to that of his clan's legendary kekkei genkai unnerved the young ninja, begging to experiment with creating a jutsu that was capable of piercing any defensive barrier, armor, or cover. For the longest time Mizo had only succeeded in blinding and blowing himself up, unable to find a way to stop the chakra from becoming unstable. Then one day outside of a small village on the southern border of the land of lightning, when deflecting an arrow off his metallic wrist (a story for another day) he watched as time seemed to slow down for him as he watched the arrow begin to spin in flight and imbed itself almost clean through a thick oak tree, a regularly landed arrow only sinking about an inch farther then it's arrowhead into the same tree. Applying this concept to his new technique, Mizo continued practicing it, still unable to stop the Jutsu from eventually unraveling, he soon decided that this was actually a boon, an explosion more likely to kill an opponent then simply an impalement. Mizo continued to perfect the technique throughout his lifetime, choosing to only pass it down through members of the Inazuma Clan's main branch.

## Jutsu Pros & Cons

Pros: As an un-aimed, highly volitile, and uncontrolled chakra "spear" it can travel at twice the speed as a regular lightning attack due to it not being steered. Can pierce through almost any armor/barrier of physical or chakra based nature, depending on the skill of the ninja wielding it. Will tear a 9 inch wide hole through anything it comes into contact with, as well as the damage by electrocution when the chakra remains stable, once the spinning cone of lightning chakra unravels, it causes a massive explosion, destroying everything within a 40 yard radius.

Cons: Costs a tremendous amount of chakra. Not a subtle technique as the user has to hold the lance above their head for anyone to see. Cant be steered mid-flight and must lead moving targets. Leaves user vulnerable for a split second when in the process of throwing it.
