## Jutsu Effects

The user kneads their lightning chakra into a special javelin before throwing it at the target. Depending upon where the chakra is kneading, the effects vary. It's a simple jutsu in itself, but with mastery it's rather deadly.

If the chakra is focus in the tip of the javelin, the cutting power is increase. Allowing the javelin to be able to hit things with extreme precision and power. Being precise enough to split a tiny pebble without effecting anything surrounding it, or powerful to split a mountain. This of course comes with mastery. A basic user wouldn't be able to come close to such a thing. The sound this makes is akin to the chidori.

If the chakra is focused more towards the middle of the javelin, it sacrifices some of it's cutting power to add an explosive quality. Upon contact, the javelin shoots out a rather big 'shock' wave that, depending upon the amount of chakra use, can turn things to ash. This works because after the javelin is released and it hits a target, all of the chakra rushes to the tip. Release all of the stored energy in one big explosion. A beginner would probably do no more than deliver a shock to the opponent. The sound this makes upon impact is similar to thunder, and can even sometimes be loud enough to make an opponent standing near deaf for a few moments. The sound it makes while the chakra is being added is similar to the buzzing of an insects wings. This all depends on the energy used.

If chakra is focused towards the back of the javelin the speed of it is increased. This is for hitting a target that may be fast and able to dodge the javelins with ease. It sacrifices over all power just to be able to hit said opponent. Though it may not cut as deep, shock, or incinerate a person, the javelin can still do some really good damage. This is the first technique beginners are taught as it's the simplest and doesn't take as much concentration. The sound this makes is a much more crackling sound, like a fire. And the appearance of this one is different as well, as a tail of electricity trails behind it like a comet.

Though the effects vary, no matter where you put the chakra, the over all speed and cutting power is increased. The effects listed are just boost from that base increase.

Under the use of Han himself, he his capable of being able to split thick trees or even large boulders with this technique if he adds a significant enough amount of chakra to the head of the spear. He is also able to hit things as small as an apple with deadly precision from a maximum distance of 40 feet (after 40 feet his accuracy begins to decline) This also meaning no matter how much more he adds to the spear, this is his maximum potential. Any extra chakra is simply dispelled and wasted.

When he focuses the chakra into the middle of spear he's able to create an shock wave of about 22 feet wide, in which things within a 5 foot radius would get 3rd degree burns as well as be deafened for a total of about 30 seconds, assuming the live through the intense burning. Anything in a 6-10 foot radius would experience 2nd Degree burns as well as be deafened for the same time period. Anything between a 10-15 foot radius would experience minor 1st degree burns and would only be deafened for about 10 seconds. Anything from the 15-22 foot radius would experience extremely minor burns, probably strong enough to burn off ones eyebrows or some of their hair. Maybe even singe the edge of their clothes. The sound produced doesn't deafen them, but it would hurt their ears a bit. Nothing determinant, just something annoying. Plus they may feel the force of the explosion a bit, but nothing strong enough to knock them back. Anything past the 22 foot radius would only hear a loud boom, but would other wise be unaffected. Again, this is if he puts a significant amount of chakra into the attack and this would be it's maximum potential.

When he focuses chakra into the back of the spear, he is able to propel it at a speed of about 170 MPH. This may not seem incredible but in a close range environment this speed makes the javelin harder to dodge. (The average throwing speed of a Javelin is 70 MPH by an Olympic Athlete((varies on how strong it thrown)) the average speed of the javelin while using this technique is 115 MPH ((meaning if the chakra is focused in either the head of the middle))) And of course, this is at it's maximum potential with Han as the user.

## Jutsu Rank

((Kaiiaki's comment: This jutsu may be variable in rank. At beginner it may be ranked as C as long as the jutsu delivers only a shock to the opponent. For the technique itself overall the user must know the Parent Jutsu: Chakra Flow in order to flow Lightning Chakra into the object mentioned. Chakra Flow is currently a B-ranked technique in AOS. As for higher ranks and skill usage, a considerable amount of practice in RP of this jutsu is required to become "master" of this jutsu if this jutsu is being learned of anything other than a NPC. The original amount of "Jutsu Training" for each rank, would be required for learning this technique for an OC. For example, C rank will be 1 session. B rank would be 2 sessions. S rank would be 3 sessions. To give a few examples. S rank still pending approval. Need more specifics on the range of the sonic boom at S rank. ))

## Jutsu History

This was a jutsu that was made somewhat unwilling by Maru Nibu while being trained by his mother. Since he had already become good with javelins and lightning release, he was challenged everyday to split trees. Seeing that simply infusing the javelins with his lightning release wasn't enough, he found a way to increase the power by focusing the chakra into different parts of the javelin in order to have different effects. But every time he did this, he found that the javelins would be destroyed in the process, which lead to the development of his trademark special javelins that he uses for this technique. Without them, this technique would simply destroy any regular javelin following impact.

## Jutsu Pros & Cons

Pros

* Can be extremely powerful in the right hands
* Versatile
* At higher levels, can be harder to dodge or block
* Strong at piercing Earth based defenses

Cons

* Can take a good amount of concentration at higher levels, which can make it prone to backfires if one is trying to put a lot of chakra into the attack, and is then suddenly distracted
* Can be a very chakra heavy jutsu when used at higher levels, or rapidly at lower levels
* Easily counter by a powerful wind release technique; which can ever send the attack right back at the user if the opponent can flip the direction of the javelin
* Only works with the special javelins crafted by Maru/Han Nibu
* Is not a silent technique
* Doesn't work well with most Water based jutsu; since the jutsu operates on an impact only basis (meaning if the javelin doesn't hit anything, or doesn't hit it with enough speed it's basically useless) water would only slow down the javelin, which would potentially ruin the jutsu
