**Attack Potency**: **Town level+** physically | **Mountain level+** with Hell Stab (Capable of penetrating his own Raiton Armor and pierced his body, stalemated Hachibi and cut off all the tails of the Beast at once)

**Stamina**: Extremely High (fend off ten thousand shinobi for three consecutive days and nights before finally collapsing, and battled Gyuki, a Bijuu with huge chakra reserves, to the point that they both collapsed from exhaustion)

**Range**: Average human melee range

**Standard Equipment**: Nothing notable

**Intelligence**: Adept and battle-hardened combatant, should possess some level of leadership qualities given his former status as a ninja village leader

**Weaknesses**: His offensive capabilities surpass his defensive ones (This can be exploited to turn his attacks back on him)

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **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 paralyzes 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.
* **Raiton no Yoroi** (Lightning Release Armour): The user wraps their body in a layer of lightning chakra that, instead of being used offensively, is used to electrically stimulate the user's nervous system. The technique speeds up neural synapses to react faster, and to push physical prowess to the absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed. This armour, combined with taijutsu, allows the Third Raikage to utilize nintaijutsu. The armour also increases the user's defences, drastically reducing, if not completely negating, damage from incoming attacks.
* **Jigokuzuki** (Hell Stab): The Hell Stab is the strongest technique of the Third Raikage, whereby he concentrates a considerable amount of lightning chakra into just the finger-tips of a single hand and then performs a thrusting motion, which together allows him to pierce a target in a manner somewhat similar to either the Chidori or Lightning Cutter. The intensity, size and strength of the technique can be proportionally increased by reducing the number of fingers involved:
* **Four-Finger Nukite** (Yonhon Nukite): Strong enough to break through robust defences with relative ease.
* **Three-Finger Nukite** (Sanbon Nukite): Effective against even malleable materials like rubber that can usually handle a blow by dissipating its force. By swinging his hand, the Third can create a shock-wave which was powerful enough to send opponents in the immediate area around him flying backwards.
* **One-Finger Nukite** (Ippon Nukite): Known as the "strongest spear" (saikyō no hoko), where the concentration of chakra is so great that it extends well beyond the finger in a lone point.
