Raikou's Rush | Totsugeki No Raikou
Type: Taijutsu [ Kumogakure | Momentum ]
Rank: Jounin
Cost: 150 Stamina + x Momentum Charges
Damage: 200
Effect: If used while in 'Drunken Monkey Stance', this attack gains +20% to hit, but immediately ends the upkeep for the technique. If the user is currently under the effects of 'Haste', this attack gains an additional 10% to be a critical hit. For every Momentum Charge paid for this technique, the user may consider the opponent's 'defense' to be reduced by 100 per charge. If this would put them below 0, this technique gains +50 damage for every remaining charge spent.
Description: The most basic finishing move in the Momentum master's arsenal- named after the late Inabikari Raikou himself. The technique combines the lessons learned in previous moves to create a shattering attack that can bring down even the most durable fighters. The attack is practically faster than the eye can see; though when seen among the less skilled members of the Momentum school, it's intent is obvious. The user quickly throws their weaker arm forward in the shape of a fist to act as a feint, which ends up grasping the opponent's wrist with ease. With that, the user's dominant arm flexes it's fingers inward, before swiping upward at the opponent's jaw like a claw with all their speed and might. The grip on their wrist makes it nearly impossible for them to avoid the assault, which inevitably ends in the Momentum practitioner shattering the opponent's jaw. This attack happens so fast, with so much build can be felled with the right amount of force.
