Elementless Jutsu
Shadow Clone (Kage Bushin no Jutsu): Channeling his chakra and molding it into a physical form, Raiden has the ability to create a clone of himself or anything else. Having a physical form, the clone can inflict damage upon others, but when given fatal damage it disappears in a puff of white smoke.
Multiple Shadow Clones: This jutsu is basically just an advanced form of the original one listed above. Instead of one clone, he can create from two to a hundred.
[Note: Though he can do many more than one hundred, he has never had the need to test it beyond that much. His current limit has not been reached.]
Contract Erasing: This is one of his four S-Rank jutsu, and is one of the two forbidden techniques that he has created. The cause of the "Forbidden" label came with the fact that this sealing jutsu broke the contracts its target held with any summoning jutsu they may have. The effects only last during the battle it is used in, but anyone this seal is used upon will be attacked by their summon if they are foolish enough to try and summon regardless of the seal.

Raiton
Electric Enhancement: Sending some of his lightning chakra directly into the tissue of his muscles, Raiden has created a way to enhance his agility, strength, and overall physical attributes to super human capacity.
Lightning Palm: Using his molded chakra, he creates a small ball of electricity just above his palm that he can use in multiple ways. From a palm thrust attack and enhancing the damage output of his weapons to a shocking projectile, the uses of this orb are astounding and devastating.
Lightning Palm Razor Wire: When he and a clone use Lightning Palm, they can create a bolt of stabilized electricity that connects them by their respective hands that is both razor sharp and dangerously electrified.
Double Lightning Palm: This is essentially the same as Lightning Palm, though instead of just one, there is a seperate orb in each hand.
Double Lightning Palm Razor Wire: Like the singular version of this jutsu, it deals with a razor sharp and completely electrified wire. Unlike it however, it is not necessary for a clone to be present. Placing the orbs close enough to almost push them together, a spark then connects them before he whips them away from eachother to increase its length by tenfold. This wire can be manipulated by his chakra points to such a degree that he has been seen with it twirling around his body in a double helix formation for both defense and offense. Be honest, who really wants to come near someone with that swirling around them?
Double Lightning Palm Blast: Pressing the two orbs together with the bases of his palms almost touching, Raiden can create a blast of electrical energy that shoots from his hands towards an enemy just like a lightning bolt shot down from the sky.
Raikiri: This is one of his four S-Rank jutsu. In its most basic form, Raikiri is the ability to tame natural lightning. Pulling it down from the thunder clouds, Raiden can then manipulate it by sending it whereever he wills it to go.
Lightning Clones: Basically shadow clones with an electrified gift, anyone that is hit or gets hit directly from one of these are in for a treat. Besides this, when they take the damage needed for them to disappear, they leave a nasty little electrified explosion in their wake.
[Note: Like shadow clones, Lightning Clones can also be produced on a massive scale]
Severing Arc: Channeling the lightning chakra to the tips of his pointer and middle fingers on one of his hands, he can then send his arm shooting through the air in order for an arc of lightning so sharp that it severs anything organic it touches at the enemies. This jutsu doesn't have any handsigns normally, which is the main reason that he uses it with his weapons more than his hands.
Electric Impulse Destabilization: This is the only Genjutsu Raiden uses that isn't connected to his Yugande-me. When the handsigns for this jutsu are completed, Raiton lets out a shrill screaching noise from his mouth. Though most think of this as some sort of air technique at first, they soon realize that the sounds are not just from his vocal cords, but the frequency given off by the electro static pulse within it. Once the dome of ESP washes over his enemies, their motor control goes out the window and everything is reversed. They try to walk forward, and end up walking backwards. The same goes with every function of their muscles. Also planted as a secondary function, the sight and hearing of the affected parties are also severely weakened. Now those are just the ESP effects. Since the electricity moves at the speed of light almost, it isn't hard to realize that the sounds move at the slightly slower speed of sound. Once the sound hits the targets' ears, the illusion of their body/bodies beginning to rot away from the inside out. The pain from this genjutsu is excrutiatingly painful, yet totally harmless. Unless it sends them into a heart attack/seizure. Only the best sensory and medical ninjas can fix themselves within the time needed to defend against his coming attack, let alone help their allies.
[Note: With the fact that the electricity and chakra are his own, he can choose who gets effected by this genjutsu, and who does not.]

Futon
Decapitating Wind: This move here is very similar to the Severing Arc technique, though there are very obvious differences.
Violent Typhoon: Placing his right palm opened away from his body, Raiden becomes able to start a jetstream of wind that moves in sync with his arm movements. When used by a master such as Raiden, this simple move becomes very very hard to dodge, let alone block it.
Oxygen Pockets: The main function of this jutsu is the creation of air pockets containing nothing other than pure oxygen (O2) in specific patterns that Raiden chooses.These patterns can be used for traps, diversions, overkills, etc.
Friction Spark: Using air molecules and forcing them to rub tightly against eachother in alternating directions and at rather high speeds causes a spark. The larger the group of molecules, the greater the spark. This jutsu has been used quite often in conjunction with "Futon: Oxygen Pockets"
Typhoon Barrier: Upon activation, this jutsu pulls the air around him into a thin barrier of constantly moving wind that can be used to deter attacks. Conforming to his body, as well as having the ability to manipulate the direction of the current, Raiden can turn this defense into a full body Rasengan-type of attack, or shrink it down to a specific point for more damage.
Seismic Push: Using this jutsu, Raiden creates a wall of solidified air that slams away from him and smashes into anything barring its way. Choosing the size, he can manipulate the damage given by this attack. The smaller it becomes, the more damage it deals, the biggest it can go being the size of a semi.
Seismic Pull: Being the exact opposite of the Seismic Push, this barrier-type of wind attack materializes behind an opponent or object and pulls he/she/it towards him.
Grand Tornado: This is one of his four S-Rank jutsu, and is one of the two forbidden techniques that he has created. The reason that it is a forbidden technique is the fact that it can devastate an entire village within a matter of moments. Once the seals have been performed, the entire atmosphere changes to that of a storm, even if it was previously a sunny day. As soon as the storm clouds form, high winds begin to blow and a large tornado rips through the air before crashing into the ground below it.
Double Palmed Gail Force Lacerations: This is one of his four S-Rank jutsu, and has been used to annihilate an entire platoon within the blink of an eye. Concentrating chakra into the tips of his pointer and middle fingers, he draws the kanji symbol for wind ("kaze") in the air in front of him. Pulling at the air, it forms a large rotating orb of kinetic wind energy, and within it the winds themselves begin to change into extremely thin, sharp, miniscule blades waiting to be released. Slamming his palms into it in the same fashion he does his "Double Lightning Palm Blast" jutsu, he releases a highly condensed stream of air with the microscopic lacerating blades within it.
