[Rain] training with Nemo

[Frozenstein]

Okay, moving on!

(Ame Kasui no jutsu) - Rain Spike Technique
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user of this technique must place chakra into one or more raindrops. As the drops of rain hit the ground they create a small sized spike of water from puddles on the ground. For this technique to work there must be water on the ground and it must be raining.

Focus your chakra into raindops. When they hit the ground they will change puddles, created by the rain, into small sized spikes.

(Ame no Yari) - Rain Spear
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: By using chakra to condense a large amount of rainwater into one place, the user creates a spear of water in the clouds. The spear can at any time be called down to strike an opponent with only one hand-seal. The water will stay in the form of spear for a short amount of time (three posts). If the spear is not used by that time it will fall uselessly as rain. The only warning this technique gives is a second pause in the rain when the water is gathered and condensed.

Use your chakra to condense a large amount of rainwater into one place whereafter you create a spear from it in the clouds. The spear can be called down to strike an opponent at any time, by performing one handseal.

(Ame Kasui no jutsu) - Rain Spike Technique

*I gather a decent amount of rain chakra in my body and release it into the air around me. Then I direct the chakra into the sky and infuse the rain drops with it. When these raindrops fall into a puddle on the ground, I use my chakra and some shape manipulation to raise and form the water into a spike, using the natural force of the impact as a boost for the process.*

Advantages:
- doesn't have additional sound like the earth spikes have, making it hard to detect
- can be created anywhere where is water
- amount of spikes are unlimited

Disadvantages:
- not sure about this, but these spikes must be quite small
- also they are made from water, so they only slow my opponent down and damage his/her foot

How to defend:
- avoid stepping in the puddles
- destroy the water
- use it up with a water tech

Questions:
Well as I said above, I'm not sure how big or strong these spikes are, so any information about it would be good.

---

(Ame no Yari) - Rain Spear

*I gather a decent amount of rain chakra in my body again and release it into the air around me. Then I direct the chakra into the sky and infuse the water in the coulds with it. Then I quickly gather a sufficient amount of water to compress and form it into a long spear in the sky, stopping the fall of the rain for a few seconds. Then as the spear is ready, I perform a single hand seal and make it fall down right onto my target.*

Advantages:
- can be used anytime I want
- not only attacks the opponent but stayes in one later too

Disadvantages:
- too obvious when the rain stops falling

How to defend:
- destroy it when the rain stops
- keep moving
- try to predict when the user wants to use it and counter

Questions:
- that 3 posts means 3 turns? and if yes that also means after I make it fall down? if so I could use it as a real weapon

 

[Mephistopheles]

Small spikes, in my opinion are spikes that will be no taller than your knee.
Well, that is not certain. I guess it can be used as weapon, but it's purpose is to strike the opponent from above.

Hmmm all right.

Moving on then.

(Ame Nottori no Jutsu) - Rain Capture Technique
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This technique causes a target of the user's choice to "attract" raindrops. The water in the rain drops will attach themselves over an opponent. Once enough water has gathered over an enemy it will also attach to the ground, holding the user's opponent to the ground.

Focus your chakra and use it to attract rain towards the opponent. This makes the rain drops attach to the opponent and eventually attach to the ground to bind the opponent to it. That's one way to take freedom of moving of your opponent away

(Ame Bunshin) - Raining Clones
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: A jutsu that creates false clones of the user around drops of rain. Every clone is totally harmless and is destroyed by one hit or if they collide with the ground or the enemy. This technique is used as more of a distraction than anything.

Focus your chakra and use it to create false clones of yourself with drops of rain. However the clones are harmless and easy to destroy, the opponent will not know this. They will assume it are shadow clones and they will feel the need to keep their eye on them to some extend.

(Ame Nottori no Jutsu) - Rain Capture Technique

*I gather a decent amount of rain chakra in my body and release it into the sky. Then I infuse the rain drops with my chakra and let it fall down on my opponent. Once the rain drops reach my target, I use my chakra to attach the rain drops to my opponent. As more rain falls on him, more rain drops gets attach to him. After some time, the raindrops covers him completely and reach the ground, creating a shell like structure which has a direct connection to the ground. This "shell" will then hold my target in one place.*

Advantages:
- hard to notice before full effect
- good way to slow down/stop my opponent

Disadvantages:
- slow

How to defend:
- dunno. use a full body technique and remove the water
- realise the jutsu and break it before full effect

Questions:
- how it gets attached to the target? it becomes sticky? or just falls on him and remains there?

---

(Ame Bunshin) - Raining Clones

*I gather a decent amount of rain chakra in my body and release it into the sky as before. Then I infuse the rain with my chakra and let the rain drops fall down. As they are about to reach the ground, I collect the rain drops and create 2 clones of myself from it. Just like with any other clone jutsus, I form them to be exactly the same as me, both in body structure as well as colors. As they are done, I make them move around me.*

Advantages:
- none
- really. just another "useless" clone jutsu

Disadvantages:
- can't attack
- can't perform jutsus
- only short range
- easy to destroy

How to defend:
- kill, kill, kill!!!

Questions:
- does it count toward the user's clone limits?

 

[Mephistopheles]

You use your chakra to attract the rain towards the opponent, it is like you would gather water for a water ninjutsu normally, but this time it is on the opponent. Then the water will hold him down, due to your chakra still being there, you can use the water to 'grab' him.

In my opinion, no. Because the clones are harmless..

Also, think of how to defend yourself from the first technique. How to escape from that water technique, sticky syrup or whatever it is called..

 

[Frozenstein]

well still just guessing, but:

if I realise the jutsu before it gets me, with wind I'd just blow it away from me or use a B-rank or higher fire tech to evaporate the water. using high speed would also allow me to escape.

if I got trapped, maybe with (Suiton: Mizu Kawarimi) - Water Style: Water Replacement I can turn my body to water and simply move away from the syrup. I guess if I go underground with (Doton: Dochū Eigyo no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique or (Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Hiding like a mole technique and go underground, that would shake the water off too.

(Doton no Yoroi) - Earth Release Armor and (Doton: Domu) – Earth Release: Earth Spear Technique could also neutralise the jutsu. the first one would cover me with stones, what sweeps off the water, the second one would overpower the water chakra on my skin and make it fall down. tho I'm not sure about it.

I guess that when you're stuck, you cannot go underground, because of the very reason you're stuck. Also, you'd get stuck underground.
What I would do is use this technique for example:

(Fūton: Kujaku Senpūjin) - Wind Release: Peacock Whirlwind Formation
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique utilizes wind chakra into the users sword and then they release a vortex of wind that surrounds the users body and can push away materials covering the users body.

well if you are not fully stuck that would work too. however IMO if you go underground you cover your body with earth chakra what overpowers the rain chakra so you would be free.

 

[Mephistopheles]

I disagree.

 

[Frozenstein]

I disagree.

and I disagree with your disagreeing :|

ok joke. well since you are the sensei here, you may be right. we can move on on my part.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Moving on then.

(Gouu no Jutsu) - Heavy Rain Technique
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: A jutsu that actually uses the victim's clothing as a medium to effect him or her. By filling the clothing with water-elemental chakra the user causes the clothing to fully retain all water it comes in contact with which will gradually cause the clothing to become heavier and heavier. Unfortunately, this jutsu that does not create water, so it is only useful in a rainy or otherwise wet environment

Focus your chakra onto the opponent's clothes and draw the rain to them. Due to your chakra in their clothes, the clothing will fully retain all water with which it comes in contact. This will cause the clothing to become heavier and heavier, making it harder for the opponent to move.

(Ame Kumo Bunshin) - Rain Cloud Clone
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: A jutsu that creates a clone from the Rain clouds in the sky. The clone resembles the user but keeps the appearance of moving clouds with only the shape and color of the user. Because of this the clouds cannot be used as a distraction. The clones are able to attack and receive attacks.

Focus your chakra and send it into the clouds, creating a clone of yourself from the rain clouds present in the sky. The clones made of the clouds are able to attack and be attacked.

Damage Points: N/A
Description: A jutsu that creates a clone from the Rain clouds in the sky. The clone resembles the user but keeps the appearance of moving clouds with only the shape and color of the user.

(Gouu no Jutsu) - Heavy Rain Technique

*I gather a decent amount of rain chakra in my body then release it into the air. Then I direct the chakra into my opponent's clothes. As it's done, I use my chakra and start to draw in the rain drops on and around the clothes, making them more and more wet. As I gather the rain, I start to compress it to let more rain drops enter the clothes, continually increasing the weight of the clothes.*

Advantages:
- pretty good supplementary jutsu, by slowing down the opponent you can get advantage in positioning or close combat
- since the tech takes time to have effect, it can be used in sync with other techs
- hard to realise the effect thanks to clothes being more heavy when they are wet

Disadvantages:
- easy to counter even if the opponent has no knowledge about it
- takes time

How to defend:
- simply use a light weight tech on the clothes or dry them with a fire tech
- strip O_O

Questions:
- how much heavier (is this an existing word? ) the clothes can become?

---

(Ame Kumo Bunshin) - Rain Cloud Clone

*I gather a higher amount of rain chakra in my body and release it into the air. Then I direct the chakra high in the sky and infuse a cloud with it. As it's done, I compress the cloud and change it's form similar to me. I also give it my colors to make it resemble me more.*

Advantages:
- none

Disadvantages:
- other than being totally useless?

How to defend:
- pfh doesn't even have to... just destroy it with a long range jutsu

Questions:
lolwut? so I create the clone high in the sky? how come then the range is only short? it's weird. and how can it attack in the sky? it doesn't say the clone can perform jutsus, just he can attack and be attacked...

 

[Mephistopheles]

- how much heavier (is this an existing word? ) the clothes can become?

I cannot exactly tell you how much heavier (yes, it is a word), the clothes will become, but take from me that they will slow the opponent down significantly. Ever wore soaked clothes? Those become kind of heavy already, and annoying at that. Imagine when the double or even the triple amount of water would be absorbed by the clothes, they'd become really heavy and annoying, thus would slow you down.

lolwut? so I create the clone high in the sky? how come then the range is only short? it's weird. and how can it attack in the sky? it doesn't say the clone can perform jutsus, just he can attack and be attacked...

Yes, that is weird. On the other hand, this means that you can create only short ranged from you, in the sky, a clone of yourself. Therefore, it would mean that you cannot create a clone above the opponent if they are in mid range from you, etcetera. But yes, the way it is put doesn't really make that much sense.
If it can attack from the sky, one can assume it can perform jutsus. Just like for example water clones, it can only perform rain jutsus, as it is created out of rain(clouds). It can thus perform rain techniques from above and can be attacked with whatever attack. This would be useful if you want to attack your opponent from above and in front of them at once.

Hope this answered your questions?

1 last question. this clone tech counts toward the clones that I can make during a fight? like in the case of shadow clones for example.

 

[Mephistopheles]

I think so, as I believe that other elemental clones count toward the amount of clones one can create during a fight as well, and this one is basically the same, but then with rain and clouds

(Ame Ame Tama) - Raining Rain Bullets
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user does the necessary handseals and focuses chakra into the rain, the rain draws together and forms several bullets of rain. The "bullets" fall at an accelerated rate and feel like large rocks falling from the sky.

Focus your chakra and perform the needed handseals whereafter you send your chakra into the rain, drawing some together to form several bullets of rain. The bullets can be send from the sky towards the opponent.

(Toku no Ame) - Shield of Rain
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: User performs the necessary handseals and places their hands out in front of them. Using chakra they gather up a large amount of rain and create a wall of solid water. The water is dense and difficult to move through, thus protecting the user from most taijutsu attack and fire attacks. Earth based jutsu and Lighting jutsu are highly effective against this technique. The user must keep his hands connected into the wall at all times or the wall will return to its normal state. If struck by electricity it will move through the water and strike the user as well.

Focus your chakra and perform the needed handseals. Then place your hands out in front of you, using your chakra to gather a large amount of rain to create a wall of solid water in front of you. You have to keep your hands connected into the wall at all times or it will fall apart in normal water. Whilst using this jutsu it protects you from most taijutsu and fire techniques.

(Ame Ame Tama) - Raining Rain Bullets

*I gather a decent amount of rain chakra in my body and perform the necessary hand seals. Then I release the chakra and direct it into the sky. After it's in position, I divide the chakra into several smaller parts and start to draw the rain drops toward them. I compress and form these rain drops into a bullet shape and when I have enough, I direct these bullets toward my target with great speed.*

Advantages:
- this is like the Hidden Rain Slash, but on a larger scale
- covers a wider area
- if they feel like rocks falling, then they have a quite good destructive power too

Disadvantages:
- an experienced rain user can feel the change in the rain

How to defend:
- like against any other rain technique: destroy clouds, move away, go underground, create a shelter

Questions:
- it says bullets, then that means they are quite small, right? how much it alters the rain? it should become lighter IMO, so we can notice it in time, but not sure about it.

---

(Toku no Ame) - Shield of Rain

*I gather a decent amount of rain chakra in my body and perform the necessary hand seals. Then I release the chakra in the air and form a shield from it. As the shield is formed, I place my hand in it and start to gather rain drops into it. As I gather the rain drops, I also compress them. I keep it up until I completely fill up the shield. Then I just keep my hand in it and keep the water together.*

Advantages:
- not much

Disadvantages:
- slowly forms
- needs hand seals
- needs 1 hand to keep it together
- user becomes immobile and very vulnerable

How to defend:
- shoot a lightning technique in the wall and you have won
- destroy the wall with any technique that has the appropriate rank

Questions:
- none. useless jutsu. there are way better ones.

 

[Mephistopheles]

By forming the bullets of rain -and the bullets should be some bigger than actual bullets imo, as they feel like large rocks falling from the sky- the water gets gathered together from a few drops, thus becoming a slightly bigger mass, forming the bullet. I don't see why it should become lighter as it is only some drops combined, thus keeping the same weight as it already has.
Also, they accelerate. That should make clear they have a greater mass together than a single raindrop, as to some extend more weight will accelerate the falling velocity, combined with the gravity which always causes the falling, as you probably know.
