Name: Chidori (One Thousand Birds)
Rank: A-Rank (Limited Numbers 1/6)
Cost: 65
Upkeep: 30
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Raiton [Lightning Release]
Range: Self
Speed: User
Power: 500
Handseals: Monkey → Dragon → Rat → Bird → Ox → Snake → Dog → Tiger → Monkey

Description: To perform, the user first gathers lightning to their hand; the high concentration of electricity produces a sound reminiscent of many birds chirping, hence the name. The lightning chakra has been shown on occasions to damage the user's hand, peeling the skin and causing it to smoulder slightly, but this does not appear to actually be debilitating. Once the chakra is gathered, users charge at their target and thrust the Chidori into them, piercing them and typically causing fatal damage. Despite the sound it makes, the rapid speed at which it's used makes it useful for assassinations.

The speed at which the Chidori is performed, despite being one of its greatest assets, also represents one of its biggest drawbacks: users move at their target so fast that its causes a tunnel vision-like effect for them. Because they charge in a straight line it is easy for opponents to attack them, and because of the tunnel vision it is difficult for the user to see these attacks, much less react to them. For this reason, most ninja cannot use the Chidori safely. User's reaction speed suffers by -400(Reaction speed). Meaning while attacking, it is also quite difficult to defend.

However, a user of the Sharingan can overcome these drawbacks due to its heightened visual perception preventing the tunnel vision from occurring and its predictive capabilities making it easier for the user to avoid counterattacks. This means the user can react as they normally would without a reduction in reaction speed. Users with other dojutsus can also overcome this weakness.

Name: Chidori Senbon
Rank: A-rank
Cost: 50
Upkeep: N/A
Range: 50 Meters
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Lightning/Raiton
Hand Seals: Seal of Confrontation
Speed: 300
Power: 400
Description: A variation of the Chidori that uses shape transformation to create countless sharp senbon that are fired at the enemy in quick succession. By increasing the amount of chakra used, the number of senbon increase proportionally. When used in tandem with the Sharingan, it becomes far more effective and deadly, as it allows the user to precisely shoot for the target's vital points.

Requirements: Chidori



Name: Chidori Current
Rank: A-rank
Cost: 50
Upkeep: 25
Range: 0-15 meters
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Lightning
Hand Seals: N/A
Speed: 340
Power: 400
Description: By releasing the Chidori in every direction, an electrical discharge flows from the user's entire body allowing him to affect multiple enemies. When using this attack on a great number of enemies at once, it can effectively double as an instant defence. The body of the person touched by the Chidori will misinterpret the lightning nature as "electrical signals from the nerves", making its muscles contract. This causes the body to involuntarily go stiff, while at the same time receives damage. This attack can also be channelled through the ground to increase the range of the attack.

Requirements: Chidori




Name: Chidori Sharp Spear
Rank: A-rank
Cost: 50
Upkeep: 25
Range: 0-10 Meters
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Lightning
Hand Seals: N/A
Speed: 300
Power: 380
Description:  The original Chidori gained its power by shaping it into a form sufficient for an electrical discharge and using it together with the user's own "thrust". This technique uses shape transformation to form the original Chidori into a spear or blade-shape, adapting it for mid-range attacks with a maximum range of about ten metres. Its increased range means there is less of a risk to the user. It also has the advantage of being able to be used for surprise attacks and capturing. When the enemy's body is pierced, the user can alter the spear's shape into multiple additional blades, increasing the number of wounds. The blade can also be swung in order to cut things as well as cause fatal injuries. The user can also channel this technique through their sword. At times the technique can act as a makeshift sword for the user.
