The user, upon using this technique, lets himself be embraced by thunder and lets it run over his body, forming a protective shield against most forms of attack. Any creature striking the user with an attack, melee or ranged, will likely be deflected by the lightning shield. The user gains a +2 deflection bonus to defense, as well as an electricity resistance 5. Any unarmed or natural weapon attacks directed at the user benefit the aforementioned bonuses, as well as reflecting the equivalent of 10 points of electricity damage back to the source. While the shield is active, the user will also gain +4 bonus to saving throws against electrical attacks and techniques. If the attack allows for a saving throw to take only half damage, the user suffers no damage on a successful save. This technique cannot be used in conjunction with Enkoudate no Jutsu, Tsuchi no Yoroi, Junkaze no Jutsu, Kyuukyoku Enkoudate no Jutsu, Soukou no Jutsu or other similar techniques. Chakra resistance applies against the reflected damage.
