Hell Stab

The Hell Stab requires the concentration of a considerable amount of lightning chakra into just the finger-tips of a single hand then used to perform a thrusting motion, which together allows the user to pierce a target in a manner somewhat similar to either the Chidori or Lightning Cutter.

Variants
The intensity, size and strength of the technique can be proportionally increased by reducing the number of fingers involved:


 * : Strong enough to break through robust defences with relative ease.
 * : Effective against even malleable materials that can usually handle a blow by dissipating its force. By swinging their hand the user can create a shock-wave powerful enough to send opponents in the immediate area around them flying backwards.
 * : Known as the, where the concentration of chakra is so great that it extends well beyond the finger in a lone point. It was capable of cutting off all of Gyūki's tails during an encounter, and is capable of piercing Lightning Release Armour.
