When Mitsuki forms the Snake Lightning around him, it is 'moving through the air' yet it is clearly not travelling at lightning speed.
Yes, and when he shoots it, it travels at lighting speed.
You know, I know of this character from some manga that has lighting that is stated to be "superior to natural lighting" and who forms arrows from such lighting. Imagine my surprise when, after she formed the arrow, it didn't travel at lighting speed? Maybe,
just maybe it only traveled at lighting speed when it was
fired
Who. Would. Have. Thought?

Also the speed of Kakashi's Lightning Fang jutsu has its speed altered depending on the amount of chakra that Kakashi puts into it. The speed in not solely based on it having the properties of lightning.
This has literally only ever been stated for this
specific Raiton technique and no other technique ever. How is it that you can state "All Raiton must be adjustable in speed and size because this
single technique is adjustable in speed and size" but when I state that all Raiton share similar properties based on the fact that different Raiton users have shown the same Raiton properties (Darui and Sasuke have shown conduction and Numbing/Paralysis); the fact that chakra is the same between individuals since it is made up of the same building blocks; and because of common sense,
I'm the one using an association fallacy?
These double-standards are truly incredible.
Additionally, this version of Kakashi scales above (or at
bare minimum equal to) Mirai who was calced to have a reaction of Mach 2.6k utilizing a feat that doesn't use that "Raiton = cloud-to-ground lighting speed" assumption (which is actually justifiable). His opponents also have similar reactions. His lighting would
have to be
at least average cloud-to-ground lighting speed in order to be effective.
Finally, in that
very same Databook you linked, it states
If the enemy receives a direct hit, they will also stop as a result! Further supporting the fact that all Raiton (regardless of shape) share the same properties (in this case, the one described is paralysis.)
@Jvando; Lightning Release jutsu always travelling at natural cloud-to-ground lightning speeds is not proven to be part of their base properties. That is what is being assumed.
This is the same assumption used for every fantasy verse that has utilized some sort of non-natural lighting that meets the lighting criteria. Yet for some reason when Naruto does it, it becomes a problem.
Lit.
And once and for all, I want to stop this idea that
Raiton properties can be different from user to user to user despite me not having any proof of this and despite there being much evidence to the contrary
Are we all just going to conveniently forget that you need to oscillate your chakra at high frequencies in order to generate Raiton? Why then would the Raiton show different properties when the process of forming them in the first place is the
exact same for every user?
When you rub your hands together rapidly, do you expect to generate ice?
No. You expect to generate heat.
What do you think plants are producing when they undergo Photosynthesis? Fire?
No. Every single plant that undergoes photosynthesis, produces glucose and oxygen. You learn this in fifth grade (in America at least which is as far back as I care to remember)
Why would Raiton have different properties when the process of forming it is the same across every single user?
Hint: it's not.
Therefore, the Raiton properties that a user shows in a particular situation applies to every Raiton user. It literally depends on the situation is they decide to utilize a specific aspect of their Raiton or not.
