Lightning Release: Grasp of Lightning



A technique developed by The Dragonlord Experiment.

The technique requires minor knowledge of anatomy that is usually required by most shinobi, and therefore can't be classified as medical ninjutsu, unlike its second parent jutsu.

After forming the required hardseals, the user surrounds either an object that they are holding, or their own hands, with electricity - not raiton chakra, electricity.

If it is used in conjuction with a weapon - for example a bone used for Tsubaki no Mai, the electricity may flow through the weapon and into the target with every strike, thus functioning like a stun baton. A strike to the head is most effective. A palm thrust may also be used for this application of the jutsu, essentially zapping the target at the spot where they were hit. Once again, it should be noted that it is most effective if the head is hit.

If the user gets a firm hold of the target's neck (behind works best) or head (the top works best), they may proceed to knock the target unconscious with electricity. Once the jutsu is activated, the electricity flows directly into the brain, paralyzing the opponent and knocking them unconscious.

This is a non-lethal jutsu designed and used for silent takedowns and live-capture.
