Only a few specific people are able to release elements across their entire
body to form Chakra modes of that nature. Examples being the Raikage and
Kakuzu. The 3rd and 4th Raikage were able to pass Lightning Release across
their entire bodies while Kakuzu could do the same with earth style.

What I'm trying to understand is why the Lightning release that the 3rd and
4th Raikage used never seemed to affect or harm them in any way. I'm asking
this because During Sasuke vs Deidra, Sasuke did Lightning Release on his
entire body and he took a lot of damage. But on the other hand, the 4th and
5th Raikage's could do this without any problems from coming in contact with
the lightning.

Is there some kinda explanation as to why that is? I'm thinking that those 2
probably had a lot of immunity to lightning, but nothing like that has ever
been mentioned before.

How does an element-based Chakra release work?


It's easy: the Raikages use the Lightning Release as a cloak to increase their
physical prowess when using Taijutsu or using any movements.

Meanwhile, Sasuke uses a Lightning Release technique like Chidori to attack
himself to disintegrate the C0 Bomb that is already inside his body. When
using Chidori, Chidori's lightning happens only outside the body, not inside.
In order to disintegrate the C0 Bomb, Sasuke must channel his Chidori's
lightning to all of his body including inside. Even though Sasuke is able to
use Lightning Cloak Chakra Mode, it also happens only outside the body, not
inside. So Sasuke must attack himself with Chidori to channel the lightning
all over his body.
