Raiton no Houchou (Lightning Steps): Lightning Step
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: x2 High

[/b] applicable upon learning Raiton no Yoroi. While similar, unlike its offensive counterpart (Jigokuzuki), Raiton no Houchou focuses entirely on the speed boost provided by Raiton no Yoroi itself. Simply put, the general concept around the technique is based on using Raiton no yoroi's explosive speeds to shuffle their body in several directions to give off three different type of 'steps'

Note:

• Raiton no Bouchou (Lightning step)
  While the concept is still similar to the spark step, the execution and functionality of the Lightning step are completely different. This second or middle stage of step's is considerably the most defensive against taijutsu & non AOE ninjutsu when in motion. Because of the concentration needed to perform this during movement requires a higher consumption in chakra.
  
  Nonetheless, when against an attack that the user can read & see coming towards them, they can merely activate this technique with an extra bit of chakra to boost their speeds a single level above Raiton no Yoroi's normal (x6) for the duration of the movement. In doing so, it leaves an afterimage of the user that, when struck, dissipates into fizzling lightning (see image), leaving the user to maneuver around the opponent (or attack) unseen since the afterimage serves as a 'distraction' for ones eyes.
  
  Additionally, with a stacked cost (x2 high + Raiton no yoroi activation), the user can use only this method as a means of activating Raiton no Yoroi to further surprise and blind side the enemy. When using this as an activation into Raiton no yoroi, the user does not gain x6 speeds but Raiton no Yoroi's base.

Raiton no Houchou (Lightning Steps): Heavy Thunder Step
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m) Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: x3 High, High per turn

[/b] applicable upon learning Raiton no Yoroi. While similar, unlike its offensive counterpart (Jigokuzuki), Raiton no Houchou focuses entirely on the speed boost provided by Raiton no Yoroi itself. Simply put, the general concept around the technique is based on using Raiton no yoroi's explosive speeds to shuffle their body in several directions to give off three different type of 'steps'

Note:

• Banrai no Bouchou (Heavy Thunder Step)
  The last and final stage (or usage) within the quick step series, this merely allows the user -with their increased speeds- sprint around the opponent(s) while exerting Raiton chakra from their tenketsu to the point where it expels a considerable amount of electricity that deals extreme shock damage (equal to raiton no yoroi). As the user goes around and around, it creates 5m high wall of electricity with separate blurs of the user moving throughout the electricity at different angles (see image). User cannot perform any techniques outside of Raiton ninjutsu during the duration of the technique.
