The user pours Lightning Release nature chakra into a blade or another object. This raises its vibration frequency, causing its penetrating and cutting power to sharply increase. According to Kisame, the effect surpasses the standard Wind Release techniques. A weapon enhanced in this way is capable of blocking a blade coated with Chidori, which is usually considered impossible.

The penetrating power is so strong that even a pencil is able to pierce through a human body or a fairly thick tree.
