The Thunder Dance (サンダーダンス, Sandādansu) is a nintaijutsu fighting style developed for the Lightning Mode. It was invented by Raikō Shunsoku, the progenitor of the Shunsoku clan.
Legend has it that Raikō discovered his natural affinity for Lightning Release and harnessed his kekkei genkai, the Rōtasumāku, and developed the first nintaijutsu, seamlessly incorporating ninjutsu with taijutsu. The Thunder Dance relies on superspeed, strength, and endurance due to having chakra enhancing their synapses and neurotransmitters move constantly at lightspeed. The fighting style has been passed down to every male clan member, making the Shunsoku clan one of the deadliest ninja clans in Uzushiogakure and throughout the Warring States Period, just before the establishment of the Shinobi Organizational System and Five Great Shinobi Countries. The Thunder Dance allows the user to physically battle and even defeat tailed beasts alone.
Trivia[]
- Kushina Uzumaki stated a single Shunsoku clan member can fight one-on-one against every Kage and tailed beast alone. This earned the Shunsoku clan the moniker “Clan of Zero-Tailed Beasts” (零尾獣の一族, Reiojū no Ichizoku, Viz: Zero-Tailed Beast Clan).
- Even after the Fourth Shinobi World War, Shindō kept all his shinobi skills and used the Six Paths Sacred Treasures before passing everything down to his daughter.
