雲系・豪雨雲分身の術 | Kumokei: Gōūgumo Bunshin no Jutsu
[Cloud Lineage: Cloudburst Clone Technique]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: 雷遁 | Raiton [Lightning Release]
CHAKRA USAGE: Low - Very High
RANGE: 0 - 20m; 0 - 5m [electric-mist cloud upon defeat]
REQUIREMENT: Bunshin on Jutsu; Kumokei: Kumogakure no Jutsu
DESCRIPTION: 

A fairly simple technique in application, this variant of the Clone Technique implements Lightning Release chakra to create decoys. These clones, unlike the basic clone technique, interact with the environment, and as such can not be identified by that alone; the clones' skin will glow the slightest golden-white color, almost as if enveloped in mist illuminated by the sun. These clones are able to engage in combat, using only the most basic methods (punching, kicking, uppercuts, etc.); despite being copies of the user, the clones themselves lack much constitution and as such their strikes are no greater than that of an average Genin. What makes these clones so special is the unique way in which they disperse; when defeated, a clone will burst in a cloud-like fashion, filling the surrounding area in a five meter [5m] radius with an electric mist synonymous to the [Lightning Release: Hiding in Clouds Technique].

Low: 1 - 5 clones
Medium: 6 - 13 clones

雲系・飛魔雲の術 | Kumokei: Himagumo no Jutsu
[Cloud Lineage: Soaring Magic Cloud Technique]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: 雷遁 | Raiton [Lightning Release]
CHAKRA USAGE: Low [constant]; Low - Very High
RANGE: 0 - 30m [Control of clouds outside initial]
REQUIREMENT: Chakra Control SA
DESCRIPTION: 

After performing a few hand seals, the user will begin to channel and condense Lightning Release nature chakra into the air beneath their feet. Said chakra will take the form of a dark gold cloud, roughly large enough to support weight and is able to float via positive and negative charges, using it as a means of transportation if needed. Additionally the can increase the size of the platform or create additional clouds. While starting off as a small size that could only carry one full grown adult or two children. However adding more chakra will allow for more people to be carried; using this same method multiple platforms can be created.

雷遁・補具停猪鎖の術 | Raiton: Hoggu Teīzā no Jutsu
[Lightning Release: Probation Tool Halting Hog Chain Technique]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: 雷遁 | Raiton [Lightning Release]
CHAKRA USAGE: Low - Very High [initial]; Medium - High [upkeep; constant]
RANGE: 0 - 15m
REQUIREMENT: --
DESCRIPTION: 

The "hog taser" technique, as it is often referred to, is a fairly basic technique in application; the user will condense Lightning Release nature chakra into their hand before releasing it as two dart-like objects connected to the user via a "line" of Lightning Release chakra, attempting to pierce anything within range. Should the user hit their target, the Lightning Release chakra will deliver a violent electric current to disrupt voluntary control of muscles causing neuromuscular incapacitation. Someone struck by this makeshift taser experiences over-stimulation of sensory nerves and motor nerves, resulting in strong involuntary muscle contractions.

雲系・雲雲れの術 | Kumokei: Kumogakure no Jutsu
[Cloud Lineage: Hiding in Clouds Technique]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: 雷遁 | Raiton [Lightning Release]
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
RANGE: 0 - 20m
REQUIREMENT: --
DESCRIPTION: 

After forming the necessary hand seals, the user will channel their Lightning Release chakra into their lungs, causing one’s chest to expand nearly twice in size. The user will proceed to change and mold the elemental chakra into a mist, expelling it as a cloud-like formation up to 20 meters. This electric mist remains suspended in the air, lasting five [5] posts (unless blown away by a Fūton technique) before evaporating. The mist imitates the nature of a conductor. When an organic substance, which produces its own bioelectrical field, enters the electric mist field, the mist will attach itself to the nerves on the skin's surface. The chakra will then suddenly change its structure, effectively acting as wires. By doing so, those who enter the mist field supply the necessary battery, in this case one’s own bioelectricity, to complete a current. Victims will be shocked with roughly ½ an amp of electricity as long as they remain within the mist field. More than two [2] posts of exposure can lead to severe 2nd degree burns and chest pain. Naturally, should anyone within the field have their eyes open, they will suffer a severe burning sensation and greatly increased tear production, temporarily rendering those in the mist blinded as long as they remain in the mist's area.

雷遁・乱舞留雨の術 | Raiton: Ranburu Āmā no Jutsu
[Lightning Release: Boisterous Dance Halting Rain Technique]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: 雷遁 | Raiton [Lightning Release]
CHAKRA USAGE:  High [initial]; Medium - Very High [Constant]
RANGE: 0 - 30m [All directions]
REQUIREMENT: --
DESCRIPTION: 

The "rumbling armor" technique, as it is often referred to, is a unique take on masking one's chakra; the user will perform a few handseals and then proceed to saturate the air with a mass of Lightning Release chakra above them. Performing and holding the seal of confrontation, the Lightning Release chakra will begin to "rain" down like a drizzle. While this Lightning Release chakra "rain" has no damaging qualities, in fact being mistaken for a very light drizzle, the user is actually saturating the air, effectively disrupting sensory abilities and dōjutsu while in the affected area.

雷遁・百雨垂分身の術 | Raiton: Hyakūda Bunshin no Jutsu
[Lightning Release: Hundred Raindrops Clone Technique]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: 雷遁 | Raiton [Lightning Release]
CHAKRA USAGE: High - Very High [H: 1-5, VH: 6-10]
RANGE: 0 - 30m
REQUIREMENT: Kumokei: Gōūgumo Bunshin no Jutsu; Raiton: Ranburu Āmā no Jutsu
DESCRIPTION: 

An advanced variantion of the [Lightning Release: Cloudburst Clone Technique], this technique is used in conjunction with the [Lightning Release: Boisterous Dance Halting Rain Technique]. The user performs a string of handseals, ending with the seal of confrontation. Concentrating Lightning Release chakra the user will focus on specific points in the affected area where no more than [10] clones will appear. Unlike its parent technique, these clones are able to utilize Lightning Release jutsu the user knows as well as any Taijutsu. Like any elemental clone, a solid or killing blow will disperse the clones; as well, if a clone uses a Lightning Release technique that is of an equal or higher rank, it will immediately disperse afterwards, filling the surrounding area in a five meter [5m] radius with an electric mist synonymous to the [Lightning Release: Hiding in Clouds Technique].

High: 1 - 5 clones
Very High: 6 - 10 clones

雲系・雲妖魔客の術 | Kumokei: Unyōmakyaku no Jutsu
[Cloud Lineage: Clouded Ghostly Movement Technique]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: 雷遁 | Raiton [Lightning Release]
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
RANGE: 0 - 30m
REQUIREMENT: Kumokei: Kumogakure no Jutsu
DESCRIPTION: 

After forming the horse hand seal the user will surround their body in a silhouette of lightning release chakra in a mist-like fashion. This mist will in a sense carry the user through the atmosphere, allowing the user to jjump much higher than normal while moving with less friction through the air than typically possible. The mist doesn't allow the user to move much faster in terms of physical movement, but instead allows one to jump from ground level up on top of a ten story [30m tall] building in one leap. The mist around the user will give them the appearance of a ghost, leaving a an afterimage-esque trail behind them. A secondary attribute to the technique is that it still is very hot lightning chakra, allowing the mist to melt away other substances the user comes into physical contact with them.

雷遁・国家多事隠れの術 | Raiton: Kokkatajigakure no Jutsu
[Lightning Release: Hiding in Gathering Stormclouds Technique]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [Jikūkan ]
ELEMENT: 雷遁 | Raiton [Lightning Release]
CHAKRA USAGE: Very High [constant]
RANGE: 0 - 30m
REQUIREMENT: Raiton: Ranburu Āmā no Jutsu
DESCRIPTION: 

Used in conjunction with the [Lightning Release: Boisterous Dance Halting Rain Technique], the user will coat their entire body in Lightning Release chakra and begin to resonate with the Lightning Release chakra rain around them, effectively making them part of the rain. However, this doesn't mean that the user suddenly becomes made of Lightning Release chakra; instead, this technique allows the user to teleport themselves anywhere within the lightning rain. By resonating their chakra with the lightning rain, the user is able to travel to any point within the radius effected [30m] near-instantly by using the lightning rain as a medium, allowing for a high-speed method of travel. 

雲系・妖魔降雨自在の術 | Kumokei: Yōmakōūjizai no Jutsu
[Lightning Release: Ghostly Rain at Will Technique]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: 雷遁 | Raiton [Lightning Release]
CHAKRA USAGE: Very High; Medium [to shield, constant]
RANGE: 0 - 100m
REQUIREMENT: Raiton: Ranburu Āmā no Jutsu
DESCRIPTION: 

The user will perform the necessary hand seals before shooting a ball of condensed Lightning Release chakra into the rain clouds above. It will disperse rapidly across all of the clouds, turning all the clouds a thick yellow. It will then begin to pour a dense electrified rain, each drop like a searing-hot senbon, capable of tearing and melting through any physical substance, such as earth, steel, wood, flesh or even physical chakra. Once this process has started the user can no longer control the lightning rain as it will continue for [5 posts uninterupted]. The user can coat themselves in a thin layer of Lightning Release chakra to protect from the rain, allowing the user to mobilize within it harmlessly.
