The Raitama Technique was invented by Ryun Uchiha, while training with Hikaru "Shadow" Kurosaki and Seireitou Hyuga. To use it you have to have complete mastery over Shape Manipulation, Elemental Composition, and Spiritual Manipulation. It is a very difficult to learn jutsu, as only one has mastered it. It, like Rasengan or a mastered Chidori, does not use hand signs.

This jutsu channels a large amount of chakra into the user's arm. The amount of chakra is so great that it becomes visible to the naked eye. The technique actually alters the nature of the user's chakra, effectively converting it into electricity. As a side effect of the conversion process, the large amount of chakra, and the speed at which the user moves, this technique makes a loud noise similar to birds screeching (if the user is not in motion, it merely makes an electric crackling sound). Once the technique is completed, the user charges forward and stabs their enemy with it. The amount of thrust combined with the large concentration of chakra allows the user to stab through almost anything; as such it is usually fatal to the enemy.

This jutsu has a major drawback, however. The speed at which the attack must be done, combined with the fact that the user must run in a straight line, causes a tunnel vision-like effect for the user. This allows their enemy to easily counter the attack, making it a potentially lethal move for the user. Though this drawback would seem to make learning the technique fairly pointless, Ryun is able to avoid the drawback because of his Sharingan eyes, which take in every detail regardless of how fast the user is moving. As an additional drawback, the large amount of chakra required limits its use to a few times a day (five for Ryun). Ryun can manage one more than normal with the use of the Ten Tailed Fox's chakra. Should the user attempt to go beyond their limit, all of their chakra will be drained and their very life force could go along with it, killing them.
