Name: Deconstruction
Rank: SS
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Lightning
Duration/Cooldown: Until Canceled/3 posts
Range: 3 inches from applied areas, as described in the activation post.
Appearance: Lightning sparks off the user's body, providing a purely aesthetic feature.
What it does:Most lightning based techniques focus on the large scale version. This technique minimizes the electrical discharge, not in potency but in what it effects. This jutsu creates an "aura" of lightning around the user, giving off arcs of electricity that trace the body rapidly. When an object comes into contact with this aura, the electricity uses electromagnetic force to deconstruct the bonds between the atoms that make up that material. Of course, the user may apply this jutsu to different parts of the body, so that the user may breathe during this technique. The aura itself is wrapped tightly around the user's body, like spandex. The aura will not harm what the user doesnt allow it to, so the user's clothes and weapons will not be harmed. In fact, the user may very well wrap the aura around the clothes and weapons he uses instead. The user does not give off harmful electricity, until physical contact is established. This means, while the technique looks like it could cause electrical shock by being close enough, it will do nothing unless in physical contact with matter. While this technique is active, no other ninjutsu or genjutsu may be used, due to the immense chakra control it takes. Fuinjutsu, Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, and Chakra control exercises, however, can be used to their normal capabilities.
However, just to make sure no one misunderstands what it does, it does not destroy the atoms, it separates them, which basically means if I do it to water, I would get hydrogen and Oxygen, rather than water. Both elements would be pure unless they formed automatic bonds to another element.
Energy, on the other hand, will bypass the aura completely. In essence, this means heat, and kinetic energy will still effect the user. In this sense, if someone launches a fireball jutsu, and the user has this active, the fire would still burn him. In fact, since it separates the atoms it touches, the aura would create pure oxygen around the user, and Oxygen and fire make a wonderfully powerful explosion. Kinetic energy, on the other hand, effects the user in the same manner. If someone launches a blade of wind and the user has this jutsu active, the air itself will not harm him, but the kinetic energy will harm him as if the jutsu wasnt even active.
The buff that fire jutsu get when this jutsu is being used adds power to the fire jutsu, within a meter of Kuro. The explosion happens at the same speed as the fire jutsu. If normal fire is used, the explosion will have a power, and speed of a C rank jutsu, with a meter range.
Character Specific: Kuro and his students.
Wordcount to learn: 4000
Bonus Requirements: Lightning as first Element, be taught by Kuro or someone who already knows it.
Backstory: With a distaste for defense, Kuro made an offensively Defensive jutsu, to not deny attacks, but to destroy them entirely. Unfortunately he did not get the armor he was after, only the destruction of physical objects.
