[Duel Rain Training] Professor Sarutobi & Blizzard

[Professor Sarutobi]

*watches his fellow student walk away*

*Long Feng creates a perfectly flat circle of earth for a seat and sits on it with his legs crossed, folding his hands in his lap as he inhales deeply then exhales, closing his eyes as he exhales.*

Long Feng begins by calming his mind, steadying himself and remembering his water and wind training and thinking back to controlling his water chakra as it rains down upon him. Letting his body feel every drop that lands upon him Long Feng with his mind clear sits still as a rock as he let's his chakra flow freely and feeling the rain he meditates on everything he knows about Rain.

This continues for hours until Long Feng feels in total sync with nature around him and feels his chakra moving in a new, surprising pattern.

Blizzard: One with rain... hmmm, interesting. I guess I will need a lone time for the meditation.

*Blizzard walks away from the site, finding a perfect spot. The area was amazingly beautiful, another one of the maple trees that grew around the training field sprouted out from a bare land that rested in the middle of the lake. The leaves of tree turned blood red, the sight of the tree reflected bloodshed, war, hatred, tears, pain... all described in one weather; rain. He takes a seat on that limited spaced ground, crossed his legs and uses his hands to form a Bird → Rat → Ox → Monkey → Rat → Snake hand-seals. For the starters he decides to actually experience the feeling in being with the Rain, he remembers one of the jutsu that he learned was "Rain Tiger at Will" using just Suiton element but close to the actual feeling of rain.*

(Suiton: Ukojizai no Jutsu) - Water Style: Rain Tiger at Will Technique

Spoiler

Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: A perception ninjutsu, allowing one to freely manipulate rain infused with the user's own chakra after waving the Bird → Rat → Ox → Monkey → Rat → Snake hand seals. The rain falls from rain clouds, formed with the users own chakra. During this technique, the falling raindrops are closely linked to the users senses. When the rain is obstructed by a chakra belonging to someone the existence of the target can be detected. The rain will keep on falling until the user uses the seal to cancel it.

*As the rain droplets starts to fall, Blizzard makes a tiger hand-seal just to form a meditating posture. He closes his eyes cutting off the sight, one of the necessity, yet the biggest distraction. Then he thinks just about the element he was commanded to be one with, Rain... As soon as the he tries to meditate, the vision in his brain gets darker, and as the droplets of the rain are blocked by the maple leaves the meditation becomes harder. He had no vision that will lead him to really conquering the element, as the distress was growing, one of the droplets escapes the leaves, heading straight down for his bare skin on the cheeks. In that pitch black vision of meditation he now felt a droplet creating ripples of light with the dark. He repeats in his mind;*

Blizzard: One with rain..? Mighty element grant me the control over your essence.

*Soon, after another few seconds he consecutively feels more droplets of rain escaping the branches, leaves and other obstructions of the tree and reaching the core of his heart, the more ripples they form his mind opens more to the element, as is someone was descending the power into him. Sitting there he lets himself sink in that water created in the mind by the droplets, the deeper he goes the stronger the feeling becomes...*

Blizzard: Hours have passed ~ Is this what being one with Rain means?

I think that's enough meditation. Now...hat did you experience while meditating? how did it feel?

 

[Professor Sarutobi]

I felt calm, felt like my chakra spilled out from my body and into the rain around me and like I felt every single drop touching not only my body but my chakra. And a new level of connection with my water and wind chakra.

 

[Blizzàrd1]

Blizzard: At first it was just a normal/random rain droplet feeling, but when I really start to get into the first hour, and realzing that the chakra within me was actually communicating with the rain droplet outside falling on my skin I realized the feeling, the power, the weakness, the strength of the rain. It was as if the rain was telling me about it, and wanted me to accept it.

Example of filled template:

Spoiler

Yes sensei.

Strong points

• This technique can be used to distance one's self from their opponent, by the gust of wind being strong enough to force them back. The strength of the wind could be used to not only force your opponent back away from you, but it could push them into objects like a rock or a tree, or get you out of range of a jutsu you may be in range of (primarily close or mid ranged)
  
  
• The dust this jutsu could pick up from preforming this jutsu could also cloud the sight of your opponent, giving you the opprotunity to get out of sight and used ambush based attacks (if that's your game plan) or escape from a situation you feel is out of your immediant range of thinking. Also the diversion it could play for the moment, blinding your opponent could give you the immediant go ahead to follow through with another jutsu that they wouldn't expect.
  
  
• Lastly, this jutsu comes in handy for deflecting and enhancing projectiles. When in terms of your opponent throwing projectiles towards you, you could use this jutsu, the gust of wind, being stronger then the natural strength of a shinobi's thrust in throwing projectiles like basic kunai or shuriken, would force them back towards one's opponent or simply render their attack towards you uselses by neutralizing the velocity at which it travels and they'll fall to the ground prematurely. In terms of you throwing your own projectiles, shooting your gust of wind in conjunction with the direction of your projectiles would increase the speed of the weapons and also how much force is behind them, meaning they head quicker to your opponent (harder to evade) and if they hit, the force behind it will cause more damage (via deeper wounds from penetration).
  
  

Weak points

• For larger projectiles like fuma Shuriken or anything with a greater density, the wind may have a harder time deflecting them if thrown by your opponent.
  
  
• Since this is a relitave lower level jutsu, any fire technique would be able to make it's way through the winds and that would be an easy counter for this jutsu as well.
  
  
• Also considering the territory, if in a territory where there is a lot of dust. When this jutsu is preformed, just as you could use it as cover for another attack or an escape, your opponent could use it in the same way. The dust being between the two of you (if enough is gathered that is) could block your sight of your opponent, which is always a flaw that could be used against you.
  
  

Combinations-strategies Primarily I see this jutsu as being a great use with simple projectiles like shuriken or kunai. You could toss your weapons and the wind traveling in conjunctin could add speed and penatration power. You. Also a wind-fire combination, using a fire based jutsu (if you have the training that is) and then using this jutsu to enhance the potency and range of the flames. However if both jutsu exhale from the mouth, this jutsu may need to be used by another party such as a shadow clone or summon. I could also see this technique useful for getting off the ground, shooting the flow of wind dowards and that could set you up for an arial attack to use against your opponent.

Ways to counter this technique Using a fire jutsu to force through the flames, making it useless, or using a more powerful wind technique to render their winds useless and also to dispell the sand/dust. Also a jutsu of any kind that could provide a mass of movement in the opposite direction with strong enough force to combat the winds like a powerful/large flow of water or large amounts of earth (via earth jutsu) that would prove to be to dense for the winds to move, also if the earth is moving at it's own velocity towards their opponent, the winds could be useless. Also blocking the winds with some sort of barrier works just as good too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tori!

*I make the bird seal and I begin to inhale through my nose. I breath in from my diaphram, feeling the wind chakra deep inside my body. I feel the flow channeling from my diaphram into my lungs and I exhale through my mouth. The air coming out of my mouth, fused with my chakra creates a gust of wind, gathering the minirals from the ground (the dust) and creating a large gust of dusty wind, which disperses from a steady stream into the air after s certian distance*

Sensei is this good? ^^

Suddenly the sky forms a natural rain source for both students to train on.

Any questions before we proceed? ^_^

Actually yes, there is a technique that Goro Kaguya used against me which was rain, but it has some sort of relation to lightning. How would I have countered it? I was told that I made it stronger, can't find the battles @_@

(Ame Tama no Jutsu) - Rain Bullet Technique
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: By focusing chakra into the user's hand they are able to gather rain drops towards their palms, the rain is molded together by chakra and forged into a high pressured orb. Once done the orb will shoot away from the users hand and the user will be knocked back. If it hits the enemy the enemy will be sent away flying or unbalanced.

Pretty simple technique that I'm sure both of you have come across during your water training. I want both of you to focus your chakra outwards and manipulate the rain droplets around your vicinity to come inwards onto your palm. You will the shape manipulate the rain drops into perfect orb of rain water. Using shape manipulation I want you to highly pressurize the orb as you are forming it. Then its a matter of simply releasing the orb to your desired target. Though keep in mind, unlike other techniques this one packs some recoil.

 

[Blizzàrd1]

I hope Reborn doesn't mind me stealing his place. It was foreseen, I am an Iwarian.

---

Strong points

• Well lets start with the most basic string point of this technique, the technique is a highly compressed orb of water, the key word here is compressed, meaning the space is tightly packed with water molecules thus giving it an amazing density and speed. The orb itself somewhat receives the property of a bullet, thus giving it a title of rain bullet.
• A very, very interesting point in the jutsu that i managed to point out is that this technique says; "user will be knocked back", if you notice that part it is one of the most amazing use of this low ranked jutsu. What if something requires you to push yourself back, and channeling chakra into the ground is not possible to bring pillars or likes. This jutsu can be shot in one direction and due to its compressed space property it exerts equally opposite force at the user thus sending him backwards, can be used to dodge certain jutsus or avoid direct hits.
• Last but not the least is the main purpose of this justu, the two actions that states the main offensive side of it; "If it hits the enemy the enemy will be sent away flying or unbalanced." It can have two effects, one is it may send the opponent flying away AS user flies back too, and given the range as short it can be a good way to increase distance between the two ninjas. Second is throwing the opponent off-balance and using it to develop a counter position and get hold of the battle.

Weak points

• Well, like everyone else I noticed the rank as a weak point. Event with all those uses a weak technique is a weak technique. Its given rank is D, thus making it the lowest, so even a direct hit won't be enough to sieze the victory in the battle, however it may give more opportunities to attack, but that does not change the fact that it is the lowest possible rank. (excluding E)
• The range, the second weakness is that its range is way too limited. Although I found that fact absurd because it seems to be a compressed ball like bullet, it should be at-least midrange to fully use it to your advantage, but since it isn't it can only be used in close range, and will fail if used at distance of mid/long. It can be used as a supplement way of throwing yourself back even if it doesn't reaches the opponent.
• The third and last weak point is the advantage I stated earlier, it can also back fire; "the user will be knocked back", the technique has a condition of high pressure forces on either side, so what if you do not want to change your position, no matter what you try you have to make sure your stability stays unaffected when using this technique.

Combinations-strategies; A very amazing combination strategy is using it as a distraction or use as speed boost in a freeform battle. So, what if my character needs a sudden boost, I release the jutsu on the ground facing back, I then turn around slicing or performing a free form action move. But not only that, lets look at another way, it can be used as some jutsu that attacks the user from behind, so this justu can be used to lure the opponent or push them back to that certain location to attack from the back.

Ways to counter this technique; A very easy and fun counter against this technique is earth shields and earth pillar. To make a dramatic fight one can use a simple shield or cover the body part that is being attacked. There is another earth technique which not only adds an armor but also increases your Taijutsu skills, but since its heavy it decrease users speed, but since its heavy it may be able to counter the pressure of this rain technique.

---

Blizzard after completely describing the technique, he closes his eyes, and gathers the spirit that he had earned in the past long hours of meditation, using his mastery over wind and water he gathers both elements, water to form the orb and wind to compress it to such level that its compression forms a very high density water orb/ bullet, he then aims for the tree that stood infront of him, keeping a constant chakra supply in the orb and having ful control over the orb's shape using chakra manipulation he extends his arms and releases a sudden pressured chakra behind the orb to make it act and fire as a bullet, its strength so amazing that tears the ree back bending it and making it roots sprout out of the ground, while Blizzard had his feet dragged backwards scraping the soil which helped him balance his heel on the ground. "Phew that was fun."

 

[Professor Sarutobi]

Strong points

• First of course is its compact form making it an easily hidden attack especially if you are like me and have long sleeves * demonstrates how easily his hands can be hidden beneath his sleeves* letting you surprise someone from close range and send them flying backwards and if in a normal fight those few seconds in the air and winded and confused and quickly lead to death or defeat.
• Another hidden potential would be its recoil, just like low rank earth pillars or wind stream it could be used for a quick burst of movement to avoid an attack
• And of course the main advantage, its a bullet type attack meaning its very fast, very small and has the ability to hurt a lot if in the right area. And its low rank means once mastered its easily used multiple times so if the first one is blocked or dodged its little effort to fire another one shortly after.

Weak points

• Its biggest weakness is of course its low rank and weakness to earth meaning any earth based defense can block it. low ranks of every other element can also cancel out/over power it besides D rank fire so if they are quick with elements or even ninjutsu it can be very hard to get a solid hit in with this.
• The short range of the "bullet" makes it only helpful (attack wise) in very short range and at that point their are a lot more options then a low rank water ball even with its helpful side effects in the case it does hit or you need the recoil from it.
• Finally their is also the fact that every time you use it you move back a little unless you have an increased weight jutsu active or have bound yourself to the ground with chakra etc. a way to stay still is needed if you want to avoid recoil.

Combinations-strategies
Well I already stated you could hide one under your clothing for a sneak attack, if the ball hits it will leave them in a vulnerable state for say, another Rain technique from above, an earth technique from behind or a follow up attack that keeps them disoriented. A follow up speed boost to get back into short would give you the upper hand as they are reeling from the blunt force from the compressed sphere they would be off balance and thus react to a fast Taijutsu attack much slower.

An easier/lazier method would be shoot the rain bullet and follow up with a nagashi, if they block it they are soaked and take more of a shock and the most common method of blocking Water/Rain is Earth which will be useless against nagashi unless they for some reason use Forbidden rank earth to block a D rank ball of water.
Ways to counter this technique
D rank elements besides Fire, one of my first thoughts would be Wind Blade, its a much higher rank, needs no seals and can be used very quickly and if in short range you just do a simple arm movement and you are cutting through their attack and into their hand giving you a huge advantage as they are a limb down, in a lot of pain if not dead and in short range of you.

As long feng finishes his telling of the technique he takes a breath and releases chakra from his right palm to draw in rain drops from around him, slowly gathering his water source until it covers his hand. After gathered he releases wind chakra to coat it and uses the wind coating to shape the water into the smallest orb he can manage. Once he feels he has it to its bare minimum size long feng takes a steady stance typical of Earth masters, digging his heels into the dirt/mud he thrusts his palm forward sending the bullet flying at a nearby training dummy used for kenjutsu practice and blows its fragile head off.

Long Feng is knocked back a short distance despite his solid stance but he maintains the stance as he slides back. He then looks to his fellow student and Sensei for notes on his performance.

I'm so damn proud of both of your answers ;3 IWA! IWA!! okay that's enough...

The only thing I'd like to point out is the recoil you two mentioned. Yes it generally can be used to escape certain techniques like when using an earthen pillar or wind stream. But keep in mind, you will not be propelled or launched nearly as far. You can safely assume that this recoil will knock you backwards 2-3 meters at best.

I generally make my students create a three jutsu battle combination including the techniques they've learned. That being said, we only have one D rank so I will skip over to C ranks and at the end of those, I will have you guys doing the combination.

(Secchakuzai no Kouu) - Rain of Glue
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: When user makes it rain and then changes the compounds of the water(materials in the air).Then makes the rain sticky which binds the opponent in place for 2 turns.this jutsu lasts for 2 turns.

Okay this is pretty much one of my favorite rain techniques, if not the number one on my list.

After you've successfully created a water source, or simply are using a natural rain source (which would delay all your rain techniques because your chakra is not already within the drops) you will channel your chakra outwards into a medium range radius, or any area within medium range that you desire. You will focus on each individual rain drop within that are and shape manipulate them, changing their compounds similar to the water syrup technique. However, you will go a step further and make it more gluey. This sticky rain allows you to bind your target for a total of two turns if they don't get rid of the sticky rain. The best thing about this jutsu is that it lasts for two turns so the opponent is forced to either make a shelter, take care of the clouds, or change positions.

 

[Professor Sarutobi]

Strong points

• First of course is the ability to stick one or multiple enemies to the ground by covering them in glue and Rain being very difficult to avoid makes them have to block it out or blow it away which while they are doing that you can attack from below or behind since they are focused on the falling rain.
• Another good point is the point that it lasts for 2 turns so their counter has to be more prolonged not a one time burst of wind to uncover themselves since more sticky rain will cover them afterwards.
• the Short-Mid range is also helpful since it makes it harder to get away from rather then a short range rain technique. It shouldn't be too hard to keep within Mid range of them to force them to deal with the glue rain.

Weak points

• The rain doesn't reach up to long thus making it possible to avoid by jumping back to long range even if it is hard to maintain the distance.
• If i'm not mistaken, its also a double edged technique because you need to block the rain yourself or you could glue yourself down as well (unless it doesn't affect you because its your own chakra changing the consistency?
• This technique, like most Rain techniques can be countered with an earth dome over you, caught up or blown away with wind techniques.

Combinations-strategies
Trigger the Rain technique so that it starts changing to glue then use MEC to lower the ground around the enemy leaving only a single pillar below them so they don't have a readily available source of earth to cover themselves with, or use water pillar thrust to throw them up in the air and follow with a quick attack preferably Fire (because in the air they will resort to Wind to blow away the glue rain.) I'd also use the A rank earth pillars right below them making it hard to both avoid/block the rain and destroy the pillars unless with an S rank burst of wind all around them (Revolving Pain or my own Divine Blast CJ)
Ways to counter this technique
Severing Pressure to make the tornado draw the rain towards it, I have a CJ that makes a barrier of wind above your head, Coat yourself in Earth Armor, Make a Great Stone Golem to block your back and top like oonoki used with Gaara's sand defence. Or coat yourself in a layer of chakra of some kind to prevent the glue rain touching your actual body and affecting your movement.

Long Feng spreads his chakra out up to Mid range of him into the natural rain, slowly changing every drop's nature into a stickier substance using his knowledge of the Water jutsu that creates syrup like water. He watches as the trees and the 3 Iwa ninjas are slowly coated in a glue-like substance and making it harder for them to move.

Trigger the Rain technique so that it starts changing to glue then use MEC to lower the ground around the enemy leaving only a single pillar below them so they don't have a readily available source of earth to cover themselves with, or use water pillar thrust to throw them up in the air and follow with a quick attack preferably Fire (because in the air they will resort to Wind to blow away the glue rain.) I'd also use the A rank earth pillars right below them making it hard to both avoid/block the rain and destroy the pillars unless with an S rank burst of wind all around them (Revolving Pain or my own Divine Blast CJ)
Ways to counter this technique
Severing Pressure to make the tornado draw the rain towards it, I have a CJ that makes a barrier of wind above your head, Coat yourself in Earth Armor, Make a Great Stone Golem to block your back and top like oonoki used with Gaara's sand defence. Or coat yourself in a layer of chakra of some kind to prevent the glue rain touching your actual body and affecting your movement.

Long Feng spreads his chakra out up to Mid range of him into the natural rain, slowly changing every drop's nature into a stickier substance using his knowledge of the Water jutsu that creates syrup like water. He watches as the trees and the 3 Iwa ninjas are slowly coated in a glue-like substance and making it harder for them to move.

Excellent and yes that's correct, you'd bind yourself depending on the radius in which you create the technique.

[B]Ways to counter this technique[/B]

I'm so damn proud of both of your answers ;3 IWA! IWA!! okay that's enough...

The only thing I'd like to point out is the recoil you two mentioned. Yes it generally can be used to escape certain techniques like when using an earthen pillar or wind stream. But keep in mind, you will not be propelled or launched nearly as far. You can safely assume that this recoil will knock you backwards 2-3 meters at best.

I generally make my students create a three jutsu battle combination including the techniques they've learned. That being said, we only have one D rank so I will skip over to C ranks and at the end of those, I will have you guys doing the combination.



Okay this is pretty much one of my favorite rain techniques, if not the number one on my list.

After you've successfully created a water source, or simply are using a natural rain source (which would delay all your rain techniques because your chakra is not already within the drops) you will channel your chakra outwards into a medium range radius, or any area within medium range that you desire. You will focus on each individual rain drop within that are and shape manipulate them, changing their compounds similar to the water syrup technique. However, you will go a step further and make it more gluey. This sticky rain allows you to bind your target for a total of two turns if they don't get rid of the sticky rain. The best thing about this jutsu is that it lasts for two turns so the opponent is forced to either make a shelter, take care of the clouds, or change positions.

Strong points

• Hmm, Lets start with the obvious, easy peasy part, it is that the range of the technique is Medium. Most of the low ranked technique that you come across are short range and get neglected, but having power over the medium range which is the most widely used range in the NB RP system, it gives you the advantage of initiating the jutsu almost anywhere as long as the opponent is not too far away from you (meaning; is not at long range).
  
• The other obvious thing you will notice is what I call the annoyance of a technique. How much can it annoy your opponent or make it fun for you. It is the sticky part, the technique is able to bind the opponent covering him or her in a sticky thick glue-ish material, open for further attack combinations provided by the user. This technique cannot only help you bind the opponent but also force them to perform certain actions, as you already stated they are left with three choices, and all of those choices requires at-least the use of ONE jutsu space of the opponent's move given that they don't have any weird ability.
  
• Not only does the stickiness annoying, the annoyance last for two turns, the opponent stays binded for two turns if caught or either way the technique keeps on going for another turn. With the first use the opponent might be able to get away, but you can force them to be back to the same spot by using the technique efficiently. That is not the only thing, since it covers mid-range it can be used to bind multiple opponents as I see. So if you are in a dual battle or squad battles, or any battle that has more participants than the usual two, you can take advantage of using one low ranked, medium ranged technique against multiple opponents.
  

Weak points

• Okay so, first is you have to be really careful when and how to use this technique, reason being you don't really want yourself to be caught in the stickiness. It might be a bad idea to perform a technique in a certain range and then jump over to that range getting trapped and yet open for pretty much all attacks.
  
• Second will be to make sure that the before you perform this technique you first take care of your opponent's actions. If they are caught off guard or do not have much time to counter this technique then it will most probably be more successful otherwise it is much easier to avoid this technique by some sort of shelter or range change. Since it is not long range technique the opponent might easily switch ranges before the rain even get to them, but a smart thing will be to cover long range first and then use this technique.
  
• Lastly, this technique does require some sort of pre-precipitation to be successful quickly, other wise like you said you will have to infuse your chakra in the water before really manipulating it to form think glue substance.
  

Combinations-strategies An awesome strategy with this technique is a genjutsu that allows you to take over the surroundings. If you are manage to fake the surroundings or blind the opponent this technique will really give you two advantages, one; use of lightning will be limited due to the water content in the rain, two; there will be two binding jutsus (a genjutsu, and this rain jutsu) to be taken care of before the opponent does any movements, so there is a good chance that the third jutsu with these two combination jutsu can be a very strong jutsu to eradicate your opponent.

Ways to counter this technique Some basic ways to counter this jutsu are; range change, a strong wind or rain jutsu to take over clouds and clear the sky, and or a protective jutsu to shelter yourself for two turns.

"That was again a freaking long talk. ~.~ Now comes the hard part..." Blizzard moves to the center of battlefield, extending his arms outwards to allow him to extend his chakra and leak it to the surroundings, once taking control of most of the rain particles/water particles, Blizzard continues to fuse more and more chakra in them, the water gets thicker and thicker every passing second, and as it drops its content keeps changing. Within few seconds the rain turns so thick that wherever it falls it leaves a thick squishy glueyy material covering the surface. The plants starts to bend from their original position. Knowing that he has mastered this technique devious thoughts take over Blizzard's mind..."Hehehe..." He changes the constitution of water molecules above feng pouring the gluey material onto him, laughing while he pointed towards the now soaked peer.
