*appears*

So you had to wait awhile? Tough! Cookies!
Now, before we begin. Start by informing me of what you know of this custom element - everything and anything. Be detailed in your answer and logic by your choices. Begin padawan.

Arid... That word brings back memories.

Arid, plainly means to be without water, or extremely dry. Arid is a combination of wind and katon chakra that's evenly mixed, allowing someone to dry out the moisture out of their surroundings. *Looks at your CE submission* Arid is similar to scorch release, although without the the flames that are manifested. Arid is quite awesome tbh, it allows the user to dry out the moisture out of the opponent causing muscle fatigue and light-headedness.

I know the strenghts and weakness of arid. Arid is weak to solids, so Earth and Rock based elements as Arids main use is to dry the moisture out of the opponent. If the opponent is covered in Doton, the arid will just repel off the rocks, thus not making contact with the opponents moisture rendering it useless. But, if the user was to use a lightning technique followed by an arid to break off the rocks around the opponent, it would be put to great use. Also, arid is weak to theose Katon elements. Due to the intensity of the heat, it has the power to over power arid, thus rendering the atmosphere around useless making the user unable to mold arid chakra.

Arid has several strengths more than weaknesses. Arid has the ability to almost instantly evaporate water, thus rendering the opponents water usage useless. With no water the opponent will become dehydrated, thus leaving them open for attacks and causing muscle fatigue as said earlier. Arid is strong to wind as it will get rid of all the moisture in the air. Now to those special elements, such as wood, ice etc. Arid has the ability ti dry out the moisture out of it. So with Ice, Arid is the best things to use, as arid can evaporate the water aspect while also dealing with the wind aspect of the ice. Now to the wood. As wood is filled with moisture, one the water has been sucked out of it, the wood would become very brittle causing it to not be effective. With fungi its the same thing, Arid has the power to suck out all the moisture out of it rendering it useless.

Excellent answer.

As I'm noting now, Arid is almost damn near invisible. Let's say the target creates some wood pillars and while your suck the water from the pillar they become smaller and brittle - useless. but to your target, would they actually see a form of chakra doing this? To the naked eye - no. So a strength would be the off-throw aspect to which the target without the use of those special eyes couldn't see.

Padawan, I'm sorry for this but to be immune to the intensity of the arid chakra as well as the ability to see through certain abilities we mcuh increase your resistance before training can officially begin.

*Sensei holds his right hand out and begins to slowly close his hand with the fingers separate. As if, he's controlling the unseen. Suddenly, you're overwhelmed with the intensity. Your skin cracks, you mind begins to wander, mouth dry. You fall to one knee when the sensei stops the exposure upon you*

How'd that feel?

"I-I feel so dry . I wonder is his how people feel when they have not had water for days, This training will be intense, but i will endure!"

As these words leave my mouth, i slowly begin to raise off the ground, licking my lips with the little saliva i have left, trying to keep them moist.

*Sensei throws you a bottle of water as you recover from the exposure*

Okay, well now you have a taste of what's to come. First we will start off simple. To create the Arid chakra is a combination of the fire and wind nature chakra like you've should have mentioned before.

*Grabs a bucket full of water and places it in front of you*


So we'll start off rather simple. By combining the two natures you will create this Arid chakra - the intensive of heat that nearly destroys anything water related in any way - luckily our enemies are fleshing bags of water. But, I digress. Combine those two chakra natures and use it on the water in the bucket - evaporate it. This might take a few tries but try your best. Spend as much time on it as possible - this if for you to gain the general knowledge of nature infusion in terms of Arid. Please, begin padawan.

"Hm, i can't wait to heat up"

As i stare at the large bucket of water, i begin to think; "I can evaporate this like the sun? If i master this i can use it against him." With those words, Light begins to send his fuuton chakra into the water, thus causing a small swirl, getting a feel for the water. Suddenly, Light begins to produce small amounts of highly concentrated katon chakra, which he uses to create a gas, steam. This steam is being made from the flames hitting the water. That was the idea. Light then continues with this, dong it more rapidly and with more concentration. Finally - it was time. Light sends a large blast of Katon chakra into the water, mixed with a little wind, evaporating the water in an instant.

Good but remember, though similar to Scorch it doesn't have flames. It's seemingly highly heated air - sort of like the heat that produces off a fire. A different sort of mixture bewteen the two elemental chakras.

You must be registered for see images

*Sensei watches you perform the chakra mixture upon the bucket of water until you master it enough to be able to evaporate it all at once. Once done, sensei reaches into his pocket and removes a small scroll. He unravels it on the ground and slams his hand out it summon a large block of ice. 10 x 10 roughly*

Now, using this chakra is easily effective on water but on creations that use water it's a bit more difficult. For example, I have a large piece of ice here. You will do what you did before but on the ice - it will be harder because of the solid structure the water forms. Essentially your motive isn't to melt the ice but suck the water from it near instantaneously rendering it just steam. Give it a try.

Remember what you did before - concentrate more and proceed effectively, padawan.

As sensei pulls out the ice from the scroll, remembering from the last time, Light begins to focus his fuuton/katon chakra. Suddenly he begins to walk around the ice in a circle, looking at the perfect time to use the chakra. Suddenly, he sends his chakra into the block of ice, instantly pulling out all of the water, rendering the ice to steam. This isn't easy, but with the amount of concentration and the hard and fast breaths, Light was eventually able to pull out all the water from this magnificent block of ice.

*snap, snap, snap*
*you suddenly awake from your day dream with your sensei snapping next to your ear*


Hey now, stop day dreaming about doing it all at once and get it done. You don't have the concentration or power to do the whole ice block in one blow. Feel the chakra and take it down in chucks or parts. Each time faster and stronger - practice will bring your skill to a much higher level. Now, now padawan. No more dreamin'.

S-Sorry

As i look at the block of water, Light begins to focus his fuuton/katon chakra. Suddenly he begins to walk around the ice in a circle, looking at the perfect time to use the chakra. Suddenly, he sends his chakra into the block of ice, he begins to slowly thaw the upper right side of the block. Noting that its slowly melting, Light notes he's getting somewhere. He then begins to focus on the katon blazing aspect, intending to melt it. As the ice begins to melt, Light makes sure that he uses the wind to help the water with the evaporation process. With one more concentration, the other half of the block of ice slowly begins to evaporate

Slowly but surely. You're on the right track but this is a fast process - that comes with practice. However, you will need to make a block of ice evaporate into steam all at once. In one arid chakra burst that is. So do what you just did because it seems you understand the basis - now I wish for you to do it all at once.

*Daenerys takes another scrolls and summons from it the same size ice block as before*

Concentrate clearly, believe in yourself, follow the instructions set forth. Don't just think of fire but also wind. Imagine dropping an ice cube into lava - suddenly gone, right? Same process but with the sheer heat of air - less noticeable, more deadly. Note that, if you don't meet the proper detail and explanation to rid this ice block then we will continue to do it until I find you've full understanding of the mixture of the two chakra.

Begin, padawan.

As light wonders around the large block of ice, he begins to think of his past two failures. He then begins to think of what he did wrong. He surly executed the chakra combination right, but then he thinks. Maybe it should be an equal balance of wind and fire. He then ponders the thought - using his chakras he then begins to breath in and out slowly, manifesting it to the brink of this ability. Knowing that Fire is neutral to ice, Light then begins to expose the ice to this intense flame, while also using the wind to "lift" the water chakra away from the ice. The wind would be used as a "tour guide", someone that will remove the water form the ice thus leaving moisture. As he ponders this thought, he contemplates the use of the fire, but maybe the wind should be used first. He think of the possible outcome of adding the wind to the ice, gliding over its surface then using the fire to melt it slowly. This, wouldn't work either. Finally, light figures out what may be the best option. He sends his Katon and Fuuton chakra into the large block of ice, using the katon to slowly melt the inside of the ice, thus not effecting its outer structure, ans using the fuuton chakra to "guide" the water out of the block of ice, thus rendering it into steam.

Yay! You did it.

*The steam slowing disappears into the air, rendering the sky*


Well good job, now lets make your arid chakra..more noticeable. I want you to cup your hands together concentrating on the arid chakra. Condense it and add enough to the point where it takes a noticeable form. Create the chakra in the cup of your hand, it will have a orangish glow to it. Gather this and then we'll continue from there.

As i place my hands out infront of me, i go and i cup it, this way im able to send chakra into my palms efficiently. I then begin to send my Arid chakra through my blood stream, thus allowing me to start to manifest it. Though, i begin to breathe slowly, taking deep and long breaths. I then place my left hand on my right arm, holding my wrist as i send chakra from both the hands into the right "cupped' palm. As this has been done, i then send the chakra out, making sure i sustain to chakra, thus; making it noticeable.

Sensei watches the chakra form in your hand - giving the orangish glow.

Very good. Now, what we're gonna do is pretty much blast it forward in a stream of chakra - very fast and powerful. What you will do if target the location, thrust your hand and arm out towards said target and release the chakra so that it will b-line directly at the location. This is highly concentrated arid chakra so it can pretty much instantly evaporate water or water-like substances. If this was to hit a human body, it would be slightly more pinpointed due to how a human body operates and takes damage so if the beam was to hit directly int he chest it would burn severely as well as suck all the water out of that area - around the heart area it would kill, around the leg - make then be unable to use said leg.

Sensei creates two scernarios - a clone down yonder and a medium sized tree.

Use the arid chakra beam thingy :p on each of the targets and explain the effects on each type. Be sure to concentrate because you'll have to get the chakra concentrated again for the second beam. Think carefully and execute.

As i notice the tree ahead of me, I begin to send my arid chakra into my right hand, allowing me to compress it and create a beam of highly concentrated Arid chakra. I then thrust my hand forward, releasing this beam of chakra that is shot towards the mid-section of the Tree. With the Arid chakra power - the tree's water will begin to evaporate from within, making it brittle. Due to trees providing oxygen, the air would become thinner? Also, this would be similar to using arid on wood. Thus rendering wood useless @_@

As i just used the first beam, I realize that i'm feeling a little exhausted and i begin to breathe heavily. I then place my left hand on my right wrist, and hold my hand up, channeling my arid chakra and concentrating. I then go once more into creating another beam of arid chakra, but this time, it will be aimed at the clone's leg. Once again, i perform a thrusting motion releasing this highly concentrated beam on chakra towards the clones leg that hits it. Once the leg has been hit, the water that is contained in the leg begins to evaporate. The clone would be unable to move the leg. Your clone would now be a sitting duck, thus useless.

Are we in deep space with one tree providing all our oxygen?

Scary Yamato would be so upset when we destroy his trees! :whip:

Sensei nods in good faith towards your training!

Let's continue. So, you seem to under the avid speed in which arid chakra can literally make water useless on the battlefield. Destroying the water-based elements will provide most useful in many battle like when you must protect your village from all those crazy custom elements. Now, let's move on to some other aspects. Gather your arid chakra but you're going to release it from your body and manipulate it enough to wear the enemy wouldn't be able to see through the chakra clear enough to know your location, also it causes them to feel somewhat - unwell. In a way, this will look like the humidity like in the desert when you can't see objects in front of you due to the intense heat.

If you understand then use it on me. Begin..

As i focus my arid chakra, i send it outside my body from my legs releasing it into your clone. Due to the power of the Arid, your clone begins to get a little dizzy, dehydrated and begins to have muscle fatigue. As the arid chakra would suck out the water from the clones body, he would begin to fall over, blanking out. The arid moves at incredibly fast speeds, that can't even be seen. The Clone would not have seen the arid as it's making eye-to-eye contact with me, thus giving me ample opportunity to execute this technique.

Oi! You should know that your description would be longer then how I explain it! :stfu:

Sensei causes intense arid chakra to rise around you, causing you to faint since you're still not fully use to it!

When you awake, try it again. Also it has some physical form like I explained but not like most chakra so it wouldn't be as obvious. Good luck, padawan.
