xxxxxxxxxxThe Raiken
[You've been thunderstruck...]

xxxxxHISTORY
Due to the high amount of lightning storms that passed over the village, many of the villagers were starting to get fed up with the bolts, along with the destruction caused by them. The Raikens, deciding to make a name for themselves among the villagers, started to attempt to figure out ways to control the electricity within the lightning bolts itself. It took many, many attempts by the heads of the clan, but they finally got it. They even figured out ways of briefly storing this electricity and using it for offensive means. From here on out, it was taught to everyone in the Raiken clan, and it was eventually figured out that the clan itself had the right bodily setup for it


xxxxxDESCRIPTION

The ability to control electricity/lightning, along with the ability of storing it within the human body to use as offense or defense, depending upon the situation.


xxxxxRULES
• Must have Raiton as main element. Magnetism is optional but if you do not choose Magnetism, then you cannot manipulate Magnetism
• Raiken must be in the name SOMEWHERE


xxxxxWEAKNESSES
• Wind, all aspects of wind, except natural wind, harms you with one rank extra damage. Well, anything that can go against lightning really.


xxxxxSTRENGTHS
• +1 Speed, go past the cap if need be, but just by one.
• Lightning and Magnetism manipulation to the extent of your rank [NOTE: You will not be able to cause large-scale thunderstorms with just a flick of their nose, be mindful]
• Decreased rank in raiton and magnetism jutsu of any kind that is used against you.
• No Handseals for lightning or Magnetism if chosen as a sub.



xxxxxPASSIVE ABILITIES
Thunderstruck
• Lightning and Magnetism manipulation to the extent of your rank, no further. At a young rank, your lightning and magnetism might not be the best, but at higher ranks, the lightning and magnetism manipulation is superb. With both manipulations, at Kage rank, for example, you can make an electromagnetic storm and direct your raiton and magnetism techs more directly.

Thunder Sonar
• Objects that hold lightning that you've made can be tracked by you from anywhere, sensed by you, and that lightning can be given back using the passive "volt siphon" technique for a small restoration of chakra for more raiton techniques



xxxxxTECHNIQUES


• Raikou Sao no Jutsu - Lightning Rod Technique D Rank
This is the technique that is used so that the person can first start conducting electricity in the first place. With it, they're basically making the battlefield considerably more lethal, along with preparing their future techniques. The user makes it so his entire body is wrapped up in lightning, making it so that whenever an opponent touches them, they'll get zapped. However, the amount of damaged from the zap varies from stage to stage. Also, it's only defense. When a person attacks, they're forced to drop the jutsu to do so. You have to be standing still in order to use this technique in defense.

• Electric Net C Rank
By releasing numerous amount of static wire which turns into a net used to ensnare the target's body, as it sends signal's through there nervous system's making them twitch and unable to move.
[If Hit the traget is paralyzed for two of their posts]

• Lightning Fumma Shuriken B Rank
Creating an intense shuriken made completely of deadly lighting this is thrown Extremely fast and is very painful being made of pure lighting the giant shuriken cannot decapitate limbs but will cause huge shocks once it hits.


• Raikou Heki no Jutsu - Lightning Burst no Jutsu (Usually said as 'Lightning...BURST-O!') B Rank
This jutsu is a variation of the Tama Raikou no Jutsu. Instead of just firing off from one part of his body, though, it fires off in the shape of a barrier around him that typically goes for four or five meters. The shape is similar to the Hyuuga Haiten, though there's no spinning and no chakra being launched. Instead, it's just lightning being fired out. This barrier will let things come in and out as they please, but with each passing through the barrier they are electrocuted with a high amount of voltage. Things such as Kunai and other weapons can make it through the barrier, if one can seen the user behind all the white fire.


• Oni Sora no Jutsu – Demon of the Sky Technique A Rank [Actually S Ranked Due to it being Pure Lightning]
Using the Raiken’s exceptional clan abilities of storing and manipulating lightning. If the user posses a Gauntlet, they can release their stored lightning around the gauntlet. The lightning will then become larger and create a somewhat demonic like arm of lightning, much larger than the users actual arm. This then spreads to their other arm, though this arm should not at in any circumstances have a Gauntlet and is there for more open to attack or even burns from the jutsu its self. Upon generating the two demonic like arms, the user is in theory able to break through most if not all Earth element jutsu or any other sub elements of Earth.


• Tama Raikou no Jutsu - Ball Lightning Technique A Rank
After the person has the amount of practice necessary to make it so their entire body is encased in electricity, The user can then ionize the gas in the air and focus electricity within it, creating a giant red ball of super-heated gas and a massive amount of electrical current. The attack can then be launched, causing a massive explosion when it hits.


• Raikou tatsumaki no Jutsu - Lightning Tornado Technique A Rank
Releasing the electricity through the tenketsu, the user then launches themselves up and uses the energy being launched from his body to spin around. Unlike the Hyuuga Haiten, this does not form a ball of energy around the user. Instead, it forms a tornado that goes about ten feet up into the air. At the top of the tornado is an opening that, someone who is talented with jumping and controlling chakra at various parts of their body, could easily slide down through and attack the Raiken clan member using this technique.

xxxxxxxxxxRANTON [黒い稲妻!]
[ THE VOID STORM ]

xxxxxHISTORY
Unknown history.


xxxxxDESCRIPTION

This bloodline was founded within Kumogakure. The special abilities of this clan are suprising due to the fact that it harnesses the power of storms. Having the fluidity of water and the powerful strength of lightning this kekkei genkai is truly a wonder to behold. Due to their fierce loyalty they have never had a member go rogue upon the village that they were born into.


xxxxxRULES
• Ranton users have a tattoo of the kanji "lightning" (雷) on their body
• Most Ranton users have a fierce loyalty, comparable to that of the Hatake.
• Ranton users have Raiton [ Lightning ] and Suiton [ Water ] as chakra elements.


xxxxxWEAKNESSES
• Wind techniques deal an extra rank of damage.


xxxxxSTRENGTHS
• Raiton used by them is considered ranton.
• Are able to learn Suiton and Raiton with (-1) posts
• +75 Chakra


xxxxxPASSIVE ABILITIES
• Aquatic Lightning: Water techniques deal lightning damage equal to a rank below the technique used. Can passively manipulate ranton techniques.


xxxxxTECHNIQUES


• Ikatsu [ Threatening ] Academy
A basic Ranton ability in which the user will slap an object and have a thunder sound emit from that spot. The noise is loud enough to overlap most other sounds for a brief moment. If used offensively, a slap directly to the opponent can cause temporary deafness.

• Saegiritte [ Interrupting] Genin

Using one's hands as if they're using a slingshot, the user will pull back one hand and let loose. Three to five small white clouds will shoot towards the target in a straight line. Upon impact, the projectiles will stick and roll about the target as if an adhesive fluid. After setting for a short amount of time (1 post), the clouds will expand roughly two-fold, rendering the target a bit more susceptible to electricity, in addition to having some movement complications.
• Each cloud sticks for one post, Meaning the post after they have set is the post that is stuck to the opponent.

• Kumorizora [ Gathering Clouds ] Genin
A basic Ranton ability in which the user forces the clouds above him/her to gather so thick that they will completely eliminate any chance of rays of light from touching the ground. Gathering Clouds can also be used with Amagumo to cause rain over an entire area.

• Kumogatta [ Cloud Formations ] Genin
A basic Ranton ability in which the user will create a human sized gray cloud, in any shape they desire, and push it off to drift for a little while (2 posts). Anyone or thing that comes into contact with this cloud will feel a moderate shock so long as they are within it.

• Hikari no Kekkai [ Light's Barrier ] Chuunin
After the needed handsigns are performed, a plate of fuzzy light appears upon the user's chest. This light will strike down light to medium projectiles, and is capable of protecting against explosives by quickly shelling over the entire body.
• Lasts two posts.

• Amagumo [ Rain Clouds ] Chuunin
This technique condenses moisture in the air to form an overcast sky. It should be noted that this technique does not cover much area, and after being performed it still takes roughly four [4] posts before the clouds form and break open. ( Only takes two [2] posts, if clouds are already present. )

• Kumoritte [ Becoming Cloudy ] Chuunin
Stretching both hands outward, the user releases a continual mass of nearly pitch black clouds which almost utterly demolish visibility. This string of black clouds will continue for as long as the user's hands are outstretched, expanding at roughly 10 yards per post.
• Badly affected by the wind.

• Reizaa Saakasu [ Laser Circus ] Chuunin
Manipulating their ability to mold Raiton and Suiton, the user will perform the needed handsign and release threads of "liquid lightning" from their freehand. Because of their composition and formation, these beams deal both impact and electric damage. The user is also able to bend these beams toward their target in order to deliver pinpoint strikes.
Each beam costs [5] chakra to form, and can be bent freely. They are all considered as separate techniques.

• Kumo no Fukushuu [ Arachnid's Revenge] Chuunin
Similar to [ Kumoritte, ] the user will release a string of black clouds from their hands at roughly 10 yards per post. However, unlike Kumoritte which is merely used to disable visibility, these black clouds hold a creeping secret. Within the darkness lurks hundreds of tiny "thunder legs;" chakra created creatures which give off a small amount of light and emit an electric charge from each of their eight legs. In small amounts, the feeling of their legs on one's body is almost therapeutic, but in leagues these critters are capable of delivering an intense shock.
• Badly affected by the wind.

• Raiton: Kurobansa [ Lightning Release: Black Panther ] Jounin
The user performs a single handsign and tucks it close to their body, from here a substantial amount of black lightning will surge around their body and shoot from them. By aiming the still held handsign, the user releases a mass of black lightning in the shape of a panther-like creature to electrocute their target. Because of its size and overall power, the panther is capable of causing severe damage if full contact is made.

• Raiun • Honba [ Storm Cloud • Home ] Jounin
The user releases black clouds from one hand while performing handsigns with the other. The spray of clouds will coil around and encompass on the user, forming a mass of electrically charged darkness. If anyone else ventures within the mass of clouds, they will almost instantaneously be assaulted by various electric surges, which will continue to barrage the body until said person leaves. Because of their nearly nonexistent weight, the user is free to move around at a lessened pace with this cover of electric pillows so long as they hold the single handsign. The jutsu covers their surrounds but not underneath them.
•Lasts for three posts or until the hand sign is released

• Raiun • Douki [ Storm Cloud • Pulsation ] Chuunin
Extending the electric composition of [ Raiun • Honba, ] the user will use their free hand to deliver a solid palm thrust from within the clouds to send out a bulb of pure electricity at a rather high velocity. Unfortunately, because the clouds are so difficult to see through, the user typically has to have developed some method to get passed this, lest they literally be shooting in the dark.
• Obtained when [ Raiun • Honba ] is learned. Can only be used with Raiun Honba.

• Raiun • Dendou Ranpi [ Storm Cloud • Electric Dissipation ] Chuunin
Rather than simply letting [ Raiun • Honba ] end, the user will supply additional chakra to the clouds before casting them off. Now, rather than simply fading away, the black clouds will cause an electric burst.
• Obtained when [ Raiun • Honba ] is learned. Can only be used with Raiun Honba

• Hijutsu: Ryuuki Boufuuryuu [ Secret Technique: Rising Dragon Storm ] Sannin
The user takes aim with both hands, builds up chakra, and then releases a twisting torrent of black clouds at the target at an impressive speed. While twisting, the black clouds will separate and converge multiple times until they take the form of a dragon. This odd display can be rather confusing for opponents at first. When the attack finally makes impact, the clouds will cluster, swirl, and electrocute a rather well sized area due to the moisture held within them.

Universal

^Nawanuke No Jutsu Rope Untying Technique Academy
Description: A basic skill that lets the user invest chakra into a rope or chain to undo it in the right way, so it loosens free for the user to escape. This will be to escape from a rope, chain, or any other similar binding. This can also be used for others and not just freeing themself from a rope binding.

^Anrokku no Jutsu Unlocking Technique Academy
Description: A relatively easy-to-perform jutsu used mostly on stealth missions and when stealing. By concentrating chakra on a basic lock such as a door lock or on a safe, the user can force the mechanism to unlock even without the key or knowing the code. Nothing about the lock will have changed other than it will open once before it locks up again. This skill leaves no signs of tampering.

^Kinobori no Jutsu Tree Walking Technique/Kabenobori no Jutsu Wall Walking Technique Genin
Description: By focusing chakra into the feet and keeping it balanced, the user can walk up against vertical objects and cling to its surface.

^Aerial dodge Genin
Description: This is a very basic in air maneuver. After focusing chakra into their feet in mid-air, the user will suddenly release it and spin-off to one side 5 ft (10 for genin, 15 for Chuunin, 20 for Jounin), which allows them to dodge an attack in mid-air. this technique is extremely useful when up against straight-forward techniques such as the Great Fire Ball and Water Dragon jutsu.

^Kyou Masukingu No Jutsu Sound Masking Technique Genin
Description: This ninjutsu helps to cover up any sounds the user makes if they are on a mission that requires stealth. The user sends some chakra to the target’s ears and performs the needed hand seals. Any natural sounds in the area (running water, crickets, wind, ect…) become magnified slightly to mask any soft sounds that the user may make.

^Shadow Dancing Bushin Genin
Description: This jutsu is a combo between normal bushin no jutsu and shadow of the dancing leaf. The ninja makes hand signs and disappears with speed to seemingly attack the enemy from many different angles, but when the enemy defends, they will find that it is only an illusion. This move can confuse enemies and give the user a chance to see the enemies' fighting style. This justu doesn't do damage except when the user attacks the enemy himself/herself.

Raiton

^Yurayura Ranpu no Jutsu Flickering Light Technique Academy
Description: Charging electrical chakra throughout the Cloud-Nin's entire body the shinobi makes his skin light up giving it a bright glow that can allow him to see it a night. With an additional five control one can control this bright glow to make the light flicker, using it as a code or a signal. An additional five power allows the user to create a flicker so bright it can disable anyone who looks directly at him for a post.

^Raikou Bunshin no Jutsu Lightning Clone Technique Academy
Description: This technique makes a simple clone of the shinobi however unlike the standard bunshin, which is a genjutsu, this bunshin takes an actual physical form through the use of electrically charged chakra. One can easily touch and hold this clone like it was in fact an actual person, however when it is attacked it quickly disperses into smoky, hot air. It is also able to attack using taijutsu, however it's ability to attack is around 1/10 in perspective to the user, in return for this weakness it's attacks deliver shocks of electricity to the opponent's body.

^Seiteki Suji no Jutsu Static Strings Technique Academy
Description: This skill allows the user to create strings of electricity that can either act physically as strings, or as a medium that can send small shocks to an opponent. One of this technique's most useful features is its ability to allow the user to detect outsiders. When the strings are placed around an area, they are often fairly difficult to see, and unnoticed by the quick eye. But when the string is used to detect outsiders, they can adapt a quality that is string-like and electrical at the same time. This quality makes the static strings into a string of electricity, but with such a weak current that it is rarely noticed by Shinobi who accidentally walk through the strings. However, when this happens, the user at once will feel a small shock in their fingers, or where ever else they are keeping the strings intact. But unless the opponent felt the weak current as they walked through the strings, the opponent will usually never know the strings were there. But beyond its ability to detect outsiders, this skill can be used as a normal string when it is needed but none is around, or it can be used to create small shocks to other people. However, the shocks are only a little bit stronger than static electricity, and usually do no damage at all.

^Nagare Isou no Jutsu Current Transfer Skill Genin
Description: An overall simple yet very effective technique, the Cloud-nin creates a sort of electrical current on his hand, this current can then be transferred onto any weapon he happens to be holding at that moment be it a kunai, senbon, shuriken, or even a sword. The next physical attack he performs is charged with this electrical current, if he blocks a weapon attack with his own weapon the current transfers over shocking the attacker. If by chance the user is not carrying a weapon he can transfer this current into his opponent's weapon shocking him, or can even hit him with this current.

^Raiton: Raikou Boruto no Jutsu Lightning Release: Lightning Bolt Technique Genin
Description: A simple technique in concept and execution, in which the user performs the necessary handseals and then emits a short bolt of lightning from his or her hand. This is a simple bolt, akin to a fireball, as opposed to being a continuous stream. On impact, the target will suffer minor electric shocks.

^Raikou Henge no Jutsu Lightning Transformation Technique
Description: This technique, while being a branch of Henge no Jutsu, allows the user to transform in a way they never dreamed of. When performing this skill, the user transforms into an extremely quick 'strand' of lightning. In this quick state, nothing is done slowly - everything is in a rush for the user. However, this strand of lightning is incapable of changing directions on its own. It can only change directions by bouncing off another object, such as a tree or a boulder, but the user is capable of bouncing off in any angle they wish to. It is not recommended using this technique in a field with little objects to bounce off of. The Henge automatically dissipates when the user makes contact with a living target. Being in a state similar to lightning, the user plunges completely into their target, and ends up in their physical state on the other side of their opponent. In addition to giving the target a painful electrical shock, this skill may or may not paralyze their opponent. Because of the fast speeds associated with this skill, the user will feel dizzy, confused, and often nauseous for some time afterwards.
Note: This technique can be used in conjunction with other jutsu, such as the Call of Lightning Technique, or the Lightning Clone Technique, to confuse the opponent. However, no skills can be used in this state. It cannot be used to flee.

^Raiton: Raikou Jishaku no Jutsu Lightning Release: Lightning Magnet Genin
Description: This jutsu creates electrical clouds around the area that attract metal, any metal projectiles thrown will be altered because of the clouds. This can be dangerous for both parties.

^Raiton: Seiteki Chikara no Jutsu Lightning Release: Static Force
Description: This jutsu utilizes electricity in order to create static electricity within the hands, this static electricity can have nearbye things float to the users hands or repel things away with their hands.  

[Kunesume2]

Shuurai Tekken Do
[Way of the Lightning Strike Fist]

Official Cloud Village Taijutsu

Believed in the Country of Lightning to be one of the oldest taijutsu styles still in practice, Shuurai Tekken Do was originally developed by the monks that helped to create the first incarnation of the Hidden Village of Cloud long before there were even inklings of such a drastic change. Honed over hundreds of years, this style has been given an essential definition that is rooted in the seeming paradox of the practice of the style itself: "What you cannot see can indeed hurt you."

The paradoxical nature of the practice of this style is the fact that despite being called the 'Way of the Lightning Strike Fist,' practitioners of Shuurai Tekken Do are known for their meticulously, almost languidly slow pace during practice. A simple movement bringing a fist across the chest from left to right may take up to a full minute or more in practice, but therein lies the difficulty itself. During all movements, muscles are constantly tensed and released without exerting much outward motion, thus making the slowness of the style the way in which it tones the body. Many practitioners choose to hold large buckets filled to the very brim with water while practicing, hoping to attain a sort of rigid fluidity, a statement that highlights the paradox present in the style's practice.

In combat, however, the practitioner demonstrates exactly what this type of practice does for his or her close combat ability. As the practitioner progresses, the laboriously slow practice tones the muscles in such a way that muscle reaction times are increased exponentially with every level of the style achieved. Thus, in a combat situation, the practitioner spends the fight attacking with extremely quick single hits and flurries and then backing off, rapidly responding to any counter-attacks made, and then repeating the process ad lib. When mastery of this style is attained, some users have been known to appear to stand still while their opponent is mysteriously ravaged and bloodied when coming near to them. Despite the general lack in strength exhibited even by masters of this style, it is still a wholly destructive art.

First stage
No Rank Requirement

Arashi noma eno shizu kesa [The Calm Before the Storm]

In the first stage of learning Shuurai Tekken Do, the practitioner focuses in training on slow, fluid motion while flexing and releasing different areas of muscle. No aids are yet used to provide extra resistance to the training, only strict guidance from a good teacher with a judgmental hand. In battle, the practitioner focuses on blocking with sweeping motions and striking with fast single strikes, taking advantage of the forms learned in practice.

Second Stage
Genin

An'unteimei [The Gathering Storm Clouds]

After a suitable duration of undertaking the first style to build on the basics, the teacher will add a tool to the practitioner's repertoire - small cups filled to the brim with a liquid. The goal of this addition is to work on the fluidity of the movements while still maintaining rigid muscle control. In battle, the practitioner's speed is noticeably faster than the average ninja, and while the sweeping blocks are now accompanied by extremely fast forearm and shin blocks, the single fast strike policy still stands for attacking.

Stage 3
Chunin

Yorunotobari [Third Stage: The Veil of Darkness]

The third stage of learning Shuurai Tekken Do is a grueling one, as whole days are sometimes spent a single position, the two cups of the previous stage being accompanied now by cups positioned on the head, shoulders, tops of the hands and feet, and on the knees. The user spends long durations in a sitting position with arms level at the shoulders, but without a chair to sit on. Sometimes, if the teacher is feeling particularly cruel, the student may be asked to try walking in a small circle while the cups are all still in place. In battle, the practitioner begins to use striking flurries in addition to the quick single strikes, as well as learning to add counters behind the now extremely fast blocks.

Stage 4
Jounin

Haizename [The Torrential Rain]

Once the practitioner has attained what the instructor deems to be proper levels of fluidity and solidity, the cups in hand are traded in for medium-sized buckets of water with rough rope handles, which are still filled to the brim with a liquid. The rest of the cups of the previous stage are removed. This adds the extra aspect of maintaining fluidity while improving on muscle control due to the resistance of the added fluid weight. In battle, the practitioner approaches speeds that will baffle the human eye and batter the human body, but due to intense training the user will be able to control every strike, counter, and dodge to a keen precision. Strong single strikes and the occasional flurry are still the mainstay of the practitioner's offense, though there is now a considerable increase in the power behind them.

Stage 5
Sanin

Saishuudankai: Tekken Tenrai no Raijin [Final Stage: The Divine Fist of Raijin]

In the final stage of Shuurai Tekken Do, the teacher acknowledges the student's abilities by leaving the last training up to him, as the learning is now essentially complete. A complete emphasis on speed should be the focus of the training in the Final Stage; some training methods used in the past include weighted training underwater, deep squats carrying livestock on the shoulders while standing under a waterfall, and other such extremes. In combat, the practitioner is now the stuff of the legends surrounding this style, seeming to be able to attack without physically moving the body from a standstill. Striking and countering become so fluid and fast that some say the blocks are almost up before the opponent's strike begins and the counter is made before the strike is retracting.
