Lightning Release: Feral Lightning

Lightning Release: Feral Lightning is a mid-level lightning release technique noted for its draw on already existing environmental and atmospheric conditions. The technique enables the user to channel and draw upon natural lightning with their chakra, bringing it down to earth into the shape of wild creatures. These shapes can vary and are incorporeal, able to damage others based upon the sheer output of electricity and energy their attacks generate.

For shinobi with advanced lightning chakras, this technique can be done by generating lightning, rather than having to draw on a lightning storm.

For an advanced user, the required lightning can be channeled further into larger shapes, at the cost of numbers: a larger construct requires keen chakra control and a high chakra output, thus making it nigh impossible to generate a large number of these higher level forms. Ai Mizuumi of Kirigakure used this form once, shaping the lightning into the form of a Raijū.
