**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

**Kiba:** Kiba (牙, Literally meaning: Fangs) is one of the famous mystical swords of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. The swords have been imbued with lightning, granting enhanced cutting power in a manner similar to the high-frequency vibrations of lightning-based chakra flow. It is this capability that has resulted in these "thunderswords" (雷刀, raitō) being claimed as the sharpest swords in existence. Even without lightning, they are very dangerous in battle, able to be used in combination with agile spinning movements, sweeping through the targets while the user also rotates. This, combined with the jagged nature of the blades, allows for more damaging wounds inflicted. The user can transform and manipulate lightning freely, even perform their Lightning Release techniques without hand seals. They also boost the user's attack power to the highest limit, which allows them to perform high-level Lightning Release techniques with a minimal cost of chakra.

**Raiton (Lightning Release):** One of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques that allows the user to generate lightning by increasing the high frequency vibrations of their chakra, allowing for piercing damage and fast movement. The electricity paralyses the target so that they are unable to move and leave them vulnerable to a finishing strike. While uncommon, lightning can be infused into bladed weapons in a way similar to Wind Release through chakra flow for increased the piercing power through vibrations, with the added effect of inducing numbness.

* **Lightning Ball:** Buntan creates a large amount of lightning balls and launches them at her enemy.
* **Thunder Funeral: Feast of Lightning:** Buntan generates lightning with her whole body and launches the lightning bolt at her enemy.
* **Lightning Fish:** Buntan produces a large shark-like structure of lightning that travels independently under water, striking at the target it is locked on to.
* **Thunder Armour:** Buntan cloaks herself with lightning, thus amplifying her physical characteristics.

**Silent Killing:** As the name suggests, this technique is simply a soundless method of killing an opponent, usually from behind with a blade. Additionally, because the user moves silently, the attack cannot be anticipated and defended against. The user will often slit their opponent's throat, preventing any cry that might give them away. Some shinobi also opt to use a cover such as mist or even frost to rob their opponents of their field of vision and then attack them.
