Lightning Release: Sewing Lightning Technique

The Lightning Release: Sewing Lightning Technique (雷遁・縫い雷の術, Raiton: Nuirai no Jutsu), is a technique that takes the components of the Lightning Release Armor and Gentle Fist, merging them into a rather potent technique with equally dangerous limitations placed upon it.

This technique is one that utilizes Kōshū Hyūga's expertise within Lightning Release and Gentle Fist to the epitome level. Firstly, Kōshū stabilizes the chakra within his body by keeping himself in a neutral position, ensuring chakra flow retains at a manageable pace. Subsequently, he activates the Lightning Release within his body and allows it to flow throughout the entirety of it. This in turn, replicates the Lightning Release Armor, but becomes far more internalized and with much less chakra consumption. However, the most difficult part of activating the technique arrives here. Utilizing the principles of Gentle Fist Art One Blow Body, Kōshū manipulates his tenketsu in a manner which causes the entirety of his body to produce mini chakra needles across his skin. These chakra needles allow for a much more enhanced variation of his standard Gentle Fist techniques, and give him the ability to repel assaults at a much greater level - albeit, the physical enhancement is only minor in comparison to the actual Lightning Release Armor.

However, as a downside, the technique is rather difficult to maintain for an extended period of time without concentration. Due to the nature of maintaining shape transformation with the tenketsu, Kōshū only uses this technique as a last resort, and only for a brief period of time. If he loses control, his entire chakra network could easily be shut down with the influx of lightning within his body.
