Description: Apex is the epithome of a Water specialist, and the signature technique of Leviathan, the Apex Predator. Leviathan joins both hands together in an oval shape, focusing his chakra to convert into Water chakra. This overbearing infusion of water completely erases away his ability to convert all his other elements, preventing the usage of every single elemental technique that does not use Water chakra for the remainder of the battle ( or Ninja World Event ). This leaves the user with only access to Non-Elemental techniques, Water Release and Elements composed of Water ( In Leviathan's case Panthalassic Water, Wood, Storm, Ice and Boil ) while losing access to all Earth, Lightning, Wind, Fire and any non-Water combination of the 4. This allows the user to gain some unique properties to the remaining elements and techniques.
Non-Elemental Techniques: Allows the user to perform non-Elemental techniques as normal, such as Basic Ninjutsu, or have them Acquire Water's elemental S&W and water bio specialities. So, for example Basic Ninjutsu techniques can appear as normal or as Water techniques.
Water Elemental Techniques: The actual Water Ninjutsu techniques appear denser and darker in tone, and can even appear black entirely. The pure Water techniques performed as Apex Predator will acquire a neutrality interaction against all opposing techniques, changing Water's S&W.
The user is able to change the appearance of his water techniques into any alternative release of Water Ninjutsu, such as changing liquid water techniques into Mist (Hiding in Mist Technique) which allows the water to acquire a semi-intagibility; Syrup ( Water Style: Starch Syrup Capture Field ) which can stick and slow opponents; Chakra Sensing Water (Water Style: Rain Tiger at Will Technique) allowing the user to sense enemies in contact with the water released; Debuffing Water (Water Release Secret Technique: Mist Rain) which will debuff opposing techniques by -10 damage on contact; Chakra Draining Water (Water Release: Grudge Rain Technique) which can drain half as much chakra as damage dealt; Crystalized Water (Hidden Waterfall Style: Water Slicing Blade) which acquire a hard and crystaline state.
Advanced Water Elemental Techniques: The user will be able to perform Water Ninjutsu using advanced elements known, which will acquire the elemental S&W of that advanced element and a more liquid-like consistency. For Leviathan, who has acquired all cannon Water Advanced Elements, the changes are as follow: Wood acquires a sap appearance, and is capable of battling Bijuu chakra and drain chakra at the rate of half the damage dealt. Storm acquires a liquid and bright plasma appearance, and is capable of paralyzing the opponent and battling Shadows. Ice takes the appearance of extremely cold water and can freeze on contact. Boil takes the appearance of boiling water and is acidic and corrosive on contact. Panthalassic Water takes the appearance of glowing radioactive water and is water chakra parasitic on contact, eating away at opponent's water chakra, lowering the rank of the opposing technique by one, and giving it the proportional damage or strength, as applicable.
Note: While this technique can be taught, most likely only Leviathan is capable of using Apex Predator to it's fullest, given his mastery of all cannon Water Advanced Elements.
Note: The user loses access to all non-Water elements for the rest of the match, unless healed through Yang techniques or similar, by himself or through others, which in turn ends the effect
