Description:
The Five Heavenly Paths system is a based around an ancient theory of existence called the Ying Yang Five Elements Theory. In this theory, five elements exist: fire, earth, metal, water and wood. The key characteristic of the Divine Lightning Dragon is its concentration on the presence of the metal element. Divine Lightning Dragon is a 'formless' taijutsu style, meaning that it has no structured set of movements that are taught. Instead Divine Lightning Dragon is entirely an internal style, and thus requires an advanced understanding of the basic techniques of swordsmanship.

Divine Lightning Dragons most basic technique is the amplification of the presence of the metal element and then colliding it using one medium against a metal element in the atmosphere. With the breathing methods of Divine Lightning Dragon and proper chakra control, the metal element is divided into separate masses, and then when these two chakra masses collide it creates an explosion - Lightning. In theory this method allows one to literally bypass the restriction of an elemental affinity since the chakra is not transformed into lightning chakra, lightning is merely the effect.

The breathing method for Divine Lightning Dragon is perhaps its greatest kept secret due to the fact, it does not use barbaric methods such as "more chakra equals more power", instead it teaches the practitioner a method of purifying their chakra, allowing them to generate great power, with only small amounts of energy. This is especially important given that the typical samurai does not have the sheer chakra levels shinobi are known to possess.

Techniques
Apprentice Level Techniques (C-Rank): Advanced Level Techniques (B-Rank):
 * Lightning Dragon: The user creates positive and negative charges in his fist or held weapon and collides them, creating lightning. When using a metal object as the focus the effect is particularly potent, powerful enough to generate a bolt of lightning. The technique can stun an enemy, although its effectiveness depends on the users skill to create the current, and the level of the opponent, as dispersing the the effect with their own chakra would be easy.
 * Yin Lightning Current: This technique works by creating a negative charge while using the enemies positive charge used to defend against Lightning Dragon to create a lightning effect. This technique is particularly effective as it disrupts the flow of chakra in the opponent, but once again its effectiveness is determined by the users skill and the opponents own abilities.
 * Lightning Step: This is a movement based technique, wherein the user creates a positive charge and collides against an inorganic surfaces negative charge. The chakra manipulation is performed around the ankles and feet in the same motion of the movement. This explosion allows them to move instantly from one point to another. The effectiveness of this technique depends on the natural charge of the medium, as well as the control of the user. A highly skilled user could use this technique mid-air.
