Hey I will be your Shishou for Ice Element, I hope we learn fun stuff in this training. I will require few things from you only when I state them; Advantages, Disadvantages and Explanation. Whenever you are ready we shall start! :3
"Good Good, Now to start with the most fundamental things, I will require a descriptive answer about;Kenshin (my bio) strips down and sits on the block of ice*
Wow that freezing I think my ass just caught hypothremia
"Quite good explanation, but the extent of ice is really vast. It is more than what you explained, and more than what I think. The use of crystals, in an art of battle gives you the advantage of using minute silent kill techniques or humongous disastrous techniques, not only that being a KG and as it constitutes of water and wind it manages to extract more potential than natural elements. Now I want you to dip your hands in this cold water, and channel your wind chakra in it, try to feel the essence of ice." Slides a bowl of water near you.1. The ice element is the K.g of the Yuki clan it allows us to create ice by combining water and wind chakra ice can be use as a attack or defense .... sorry that's about my extense of ice release atm I never really researched it in a whole
2. Ice is weak to earth and ligthning since earth and shatter ice and ligthning can cut through ice very easily while Ice is netraul to fie and is ice is strong actually double strong to water since water is very weak and ice is also strong to wind since wind drops the tempature
3. I find that ice is unque because the way it can be used and how the limitations of it are very small that how you can cause a pre existing source of water into your personal death puddle lol
"Yes the feeling explains the principle of ice element, water as a main body and the use of wind shapes the nature of that body, in this case your hand are frozen in the bowl. Now we shall use the same principle to dictate other jutsus. Starting from the most basic ones;"Place the bowl infront of me I then take both my hands and place them into the cold water as I place my hands in the water I start to release wind chakra into the water the more chakra I release the colder the water geti continue to dp this until the water starts to freeze over
It feels really cold but yet peacful but at the same time I feel that I wouldn't enjoy being hit by something this cold and probly a lot denser
"Good enough, now head outside releasing the same quantity of chakra around the entire field span, in the sky creating clouds that will snow. Explain its advantages to an ice user."I start by gatjering up a large amount of water and wind chakra and I then channel it to my hand after channeling the chakra to my hand I then mix the wind and water chakra and release it as I release the mixed wind and water chakra I mold the chakra into the form of a kunia as the kunia is shaped I turn the chakra into a solid piece of ice making a kunia of ice this is done with the help of my great chakra control
"Yes you got the basic structure right, frozen particles of water though will create hail not snow. Snow is rather soft, it constitutes of less water. Now the basic advantage is indeed covering the field and making an idea ground for MANY ice techniques. Most Ice users try to use this jutsu in the start to be prepared. Now as we work on creating pillars of ice, we will start with a bit more advance version of that;"I head out side and gather up a very large amount of water and wind chakra as I gather up the chakra I mix it up very well as the chakra is mixed up I release it into the sky as its released into the sky I create clouds that cover the entire field the clouds create snow as the clouds are created it begins to snow
The advantage of this technqiue for a ice user is that snow ic frozen drops of water which is aka ice and by allowing it to snow and cover the entire field the ice user then has a entire field of ice to use to create attacks
"Now perform it in a dummy which is at mid range from you."I begins by gathering up a very large amount of wind and water chakra and while gathering up the chakras I. Mix them together very well as the two chakras are mixed up I release the chakra into the ground underneath me as the chakra is released I use chakra manipulation and shape manipulation to cause a large pillar of ice to rise up and incase me within And by being a ice user I move freely within it
"Now at this point I have noticed one mistake in your explanations... It is that even if its a C-rank jutsu you are always dictating it as "large" amount of wind water chakra. It is very less amount of chakra thus its fast, and weak ice jutsus. Be in realism even when you train it helps with the wordings in actual battle."... Starts moving at the other side of battlefield. "Now what will be the disadvantage of this jutsu? and how is this defensive, against what thing is it good for defense?"When I see the dummy mid range from me I gather up a large amount of wind and water chakra as I am gathering up the chakra I mix them very well as the chakras are mixed I release the chakras into the ground and place it underneath the dummy as the chakra is placed underneath the dummy using chakra and shape amnipulation I cause a giant pillar of ice to rise up and encase the dummy inside of it
"No, How can coming from beneath be a disadvantage? Its actually quite useful because its appears from below. The disadvantage is the rank itself of the technique, although it can be easily overcome by a strategy. As for its defensive qualities, the best it will do against is weapons, but yes water will be a good safe. Now next up;"The disadvantage I guess would be that the technqiue has to rise upwards from the ground which give your opponent a chance to counter and if used on you to defend you are leaving a opening since your inside a block of ice basically so they could easily send a attack of ligthning down on you
The other question answers are this its defensive due to the fact it concels you on every side from front back left to rigth and up to down and would be a good defense againist any water technqiue that comes from any angle
