Lightning Release: Lightning Bomb

A technique developed by Cynicus while within the Academy, with the intention of replicating the equipment used by his clan.

Despite having but humble beginnings, Cynicus used the technique so often and became so proficient in it's use that it is now one of his strongest techniques.

The technique functions by compressing Lightning Release chakra into an orb roughly the size of the equipment on which it is based. From that point, it can be thrown or manipulated through the air. Once the force of compression is dropped, the Lightning Release chakra is let free, and the bomb 'detonates'. While the technique rarely damages the environment, the amount of electricity discharged into the opponent can cause major damage.

Notably, when losing his match to Soka Akimichi in the Five Kage Tournament, Cynicus compressed almost all of his remaining chakra into a lightning bomb before detonating it at close range. It was this action that resulted in Cynicus' disqualification, as deadly techniques were not allowed- the only reason either of them survived was due to the intervention of ANBU.
