Lightning Release: Lightning Shield

Lightning Release: Lightning Shield is a defensive based Ninjutsu. After weaving the proper hand seals, the user forms a shield made of electrical energy. This shield can be used to block Ninjutsu based attacks whereas Taijutsu users would just end up getting shocked trying to touch it. The amount of chakra used in creating the shield dictates its protective capabilities. It comes with the drawback of only protecting the front side of the user. This could leave their left, right and rear flanks potentially wide open if they can't disperse it quickly enough to react.
