Naruto OC Event - Day 5 ¦ Chakra Nature

Sayuri's natural affinity is Lightning Release, which she uses combined with her weapons (katana, kunai) or by casting a jutsu. Her most powerful technique is Nagareboshi ("shooting star") which consists in a huge and powerful lightning bolt that destroys the target previously marked with a sign. But as much as it is powerful, it is also dangerous for many reasons: first, it drains her chakra almost completely; secondly, it is difficult to hit a moving target. Moreover, Sayuri's sense of hearing is particularly sensitive and she must avoid loud noises such as explosions. When casting Nagareboshi, she temporarily shuts her hears off which means that she is momentarily exposed to the enemy's silent attacks. She represents a paradox, because she has a serious phobia of lightnings and explosions, so she usually uses her electrified hand to instantly kill the opponent or an electrified weapon to increase its effectiveness.

As a jonin, she has mastered more than a nature, in fact she can easily use Water and Fire release.

You know… *insert thinking emoji*

The wiki gave examples of other times where black lightning that’s not from Darui or the Raikage appeared, and guess what, those instances all had senjutsu involved.

I think you can spin green lightning if you tie it (with some measure of hand-waving logic) to the use of pure nature energy? Something along those lines.

First off! I love dōjutsu, and all that comes with.

You have to remember that what makes dōjutsu special and unique is that it is mostly a sigh-based power. If you look at the Sharingan and Byakugan, they mostly work by giving different kinds of vision: prediction, and chakra X-ray.

Each of those special visions are linked to the abilities that the clan develops. Uchiha are fast and unbeatable because they are literally half a step ahead of you, and the Gentle Fist is built entirely on seeing the chakra points.

That’s to say, you should reverse-engineer your dōjutsu to fit with the technique that’s used. Sharingan: can predict movements —> Uchiha are fearsome and hard to counter. Byakugan: can see chakra —> Gentle Fist hits tenketsu points / Hyūga are good scouts.

So how do you use that?

Since you want to make a dōjutsu connected to lightning, think about something about electricity and storms that we humans don’t see but is beneficial to using lightning somehow. Dig into the science! Maybe your dōjutsu can see ionized air or impure water or something else that is beneficial to conducting electricity.

Here’s an idea for something different, you can take inspiration: 

A wind-chakra based dōjutsu is able to see wind currents, so their wielders are very skilled in manipulating wind.

Good luck!
