(Ranton: Raiunkōha) - Storm Release: Thunder Cloud Inner Wave
Advantage:
* When active it last for two turn, giving the user the chance/time to take a break/catch their breath/regain composure. * It doesn't require a water source or weather altering preparation beforehand. * It doesn't affect the speed and mobility of the user, the cloud follows the user as they move about.
Disadvantage:
* The range is a disadvantage, it make the user defensive and defending don't win battles U_U * It require hand seals to be waved thus not a fast technique to execute and the hand seals alert the opponent to expect something. * The thick cloud halve the view of the user, the user is unable to see the parts of the terrain blocked by the cloud.
Usage:
* I will use to fend off samurai warriors and close range specialists.
Counter:
* I will counter this with a wind tech like Wind Release: Air Current Wild Dance, due to the range of this tech, I will blow off the thunder cloud along with the user, killing two bird with one stone.
Perform It:
* I knead lightning and water chakra then combine both to form storm, I control the produced storm to move about around me forming a barrier with me inbetween; probably at the middle, then maintaining my focus on the storm element I channel water chakra from my body to the now formed storm barrier making the storm more dense and thick. Using advanced shape manipulation I cause the surrounding storm to take the shape of a cloud, a ring of cloud will be formed around me. Then using chakra manipulation I tune the lightning element present in the cloud to come alive, the lightning would give the cloud an electrifying ability turning it into a thundercloud. With this I would have successfully performed this technique.
I cancel the technique afterwards.
Question
* The attacking property of the cloud, is it auto or do I have to be aware of the incoming attack before the cloud can release bolt of lightning towards my foe?
* Is the cloud able to block against projectiles considering it is thick[dense] and make of water mostly?
