Shanabatsu

The Shanabatsu is a lightning release technique that has been passed down among the high ranking members of the Omikami Clan.

Description and Effects
The technique shrouds the wielder in a coat of violet lightning chakra. Through focus, the wielder can increase the penetrative power of the lightning at one part of the body at a time. The point of focus acts as the offensive part of the jutsu, able to pierce into an opponents body while channeling lightning throughout their systems, possibly destroying them from the inside out. The rest of the coat acts as a deterrent for any incoming techniques, though this feature of the technique does not completely block damage, rather it lessens the amount of damage the user takes from an incoming assault. The offensive power of the jutsu can be manipulated without negatively impacting chakra. This can be done when the user focuses on a more specific part of the body such as his finger tips. The more specific the part of the body where the technique is focused, the greater the impaling power of the technique becomes. While the wielder does need a certain amount of speed to utilize the jutsu to its maximum potential, it is not entirely necessary, considering the technique is self-sustaining upon activation. This also prevents the wielder from having to attack in a linear fashion while using the jutsu.
