Yakusa Ikazuchi

This is a powerful variation of the Negame Gatling Kick, created by Kantaro Matsunaga after years of developing it. It is considered to be his most powerful Lightning Release technique. This technique can decimate an enemy within one shot, but must be used with extreme caution.

After weaving the needed hand signals, the user channels as much chakra into their legs as they can. After enough chakra is molded, their legs are covered with a large mass of white electricity. While this is active, the user's speed nearly quadruples, they attain a heightened sense of reaction, and their kicks are much more powerful with the added effect of severely shocking their targets. Kicking at opponents from a distance will unleash a bolt of concentrated lightning. However, the technique begins when the user rushes their target and begins attacking them with a relentless hail of kicks, landing over twenty blows per second. The target is stunned by the electricity and suffers both increasing impact damage and massive electric shock. One kick alone has the capacity to crack bone and tear muscle as well as unleash at least 195,000 volts of electricity. Each kick sounds like a crack of thunder, which further injures the target and disorients them. Finally, the user kicks the target with the other leg, unleashing all of the chakra as a enormous bolt of lightning. If the attack connects completely, the target should be obliterated from the culminated taijutsu barrage, electric burning, and the final strike. The user's legs are only pale blurs and actually reach humanly impossible speeds with this technique.

However, this technique has a deadly weakness. When used as a supplementary technique alone, the only risk is chakra exhaustion and some electric burning. However, if the user chooses to attack with the gatling kick, they will risk their legs becoming paralyzed and useless or even crumbling to ashes from the friction of their attack and the burning of the electricity upon their own body. In worst case scenarios, the user will die shortly after from electrocution, only staying alive from adrenaline during their attack. Kantaro only used a prototype of this ability once, and suffered near-fatal burning. As such, this technique is best used during dire situations.
