I access my awesome chakra pool inside my body, I navigate myself past the sexy hoes hanging on the pool, and reach the deep end that is labeled rain release, I dive into the part, gather a lot of it into a bucket, and then throw said bucket to your clone, the clone gets hit by the bucket and falls over :/ Oh crap I need to use then water.
I once again access my chakra pool, gather the required Ameton chakra, and through the usage of precise chakra control, I project said chakra on another clone. My chakra affects the clone, acting as a magnet for rain drops, the rain drops all around come closer and stick to him, weighting him down, preventing him from moving, through attaching to the ground.
Advantages; well it screws up a lot of opponents rather easily, it prevents movement, and also makes the target prone to lighting since he is wet.
Disadvantages; it needs rain z.z, also it needs the ground to capture the opponent completely, that can get annoying sometimes.
Protect; Maybe the lightweight technique can work, also the earth armors would work, also if I destroy the earth then I am save.
Strategy; Follow it up with lightning, I can use the grudge rain that sucks Chakra with this, that would be nice ;p.
