[Suiton] Detective L Teaches Xicer Water Style

[Xicer]

As Dean-Sensei describes the technique, a spark of ingenuity twinkles in Trunks' eyes. I understand exactly what to do, Sensei. As Trunks says this, he notices that Dean's clone has already began to enclose on him. Calmly, he begins to jog toward the clone forming the ram hand seal. As he changes to the tiger seal, he picks up speed to quickly close in on his target. As soon as the sprinting pair get within short range of each other, Trunks spits a thick sticky liquid at the clone in a small amount. Trunks' idea here isn't about surface area, as most use this technique, but precision. The liquid strikes the clone's eyes, forming a band across his face and blinding him. Channeling chakra into his leg and foot, so that he doesn't get caught in the liquid, Trunks does a roundhouse kick into the clone's face, sending him spiraling.

Trunks walks back to Deans position, knowing already what he plans on saying. It seems that this technique could be used for a variety of reasons. Sticking my opponent to something, such as themselves or the ground, is one option. But it also has other uses as well, such as weighing things down, like the kunai from your story. This tells me that if I hit my opponent with it, but don't make it stick to anything, it would still weigh them down. I do, however, have some concerns about this technique. For one, it's viscosity and size leads to be quite slow. This will prohibit when and how I use it, compared to other water jutsu. Another concern I have is the possibility of my opponent using an shield to collect it as I spew it, then using my own technique against me. Overall, this is a great technique. I could see myself using this jutsu as I did before, to stop projectiles like Minato's kunai, or as a coating for my own weapons. I would use the latter strategy to ensure that my kunai sticks to my opponent, providing a lightning rod of sorts to concentrate the electricity from my next attack onto one spot.

 

[Detective L]

Listening to his student, Dean could hear that Trunks went that extra mile in order to prepare his analysis on the technique. Trunks was becoming good at this, but Dean didn't say anything, his smile would have to do. Without wasting a moment after Trunks had spoken, Dean threw the scroll towards Trunks and continued.

"Well done, Trunks. That technique is a good one, and I remember myself using it quite often, years ago though. Here is the technique you just learned."

Rank: C
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user After performing the required hand seals Ram → Tiger spits out high-viscosity, chakra infused water, aimed at a surface of wide scope. This is a stream of sticky liquid which can be used to form an adhesive trap that can inhibit a person's mobility. One can effectively reduce their enemy's area of activity with this technique, and has the effect of being able to take complete control over the battlefield. The normal scope of this technique is normally just a few metres, but if prepared, it is also possible to make an entire pond of starch syrup. Being caught in the technique can be avoided by channelling chakra to one's feet allowing one to walk upon it uninhibited, beforehand.

"Now the next technique starts off by forming the Tiger hand seal, and then by careful manipulation of Water based chakra, you will form a clone of yourself made of Water. This clone of Water is has one tenth of your chakra and is capable of using up to C rank Water techniques and need a water source to be formed. They can also just be in Short range of the user or they will form back into a puddle of water. Use it against my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Trunks.

 

[Xicer]

Trunks catches the scroll with one hand and quickly puts it away as Dean tells him about the next technique. As he finishes, Trunks nods in understanding. As the clone begins to enclose on Trunks, he forms the tiger hand seal and creates a water clone which appears beside him. The clone takes a few steps forward to head Dean's clone off before it can reach the pair. The clone then charges at Dean's clone, and releases a blast of water into his face before sweeping his legs out from under him, putting him on his back. Trunks then releases the technique, allowing the clone to reform as a puddle of water.

This technique has great potential if used correctly, but has its own set of drawbacks as well. For starters, it is always better to outnumber your opponent that to fight evenly. You can't look left and right at the same time. Also, the fact that the clone is infact a clone, cutting off my opponent's sight of me would lead to them being confused as to which who the real one is. The problems that I see are the limited amount of techniques that the clone could use. It can only use water techniques, and of those only ones that are C-Rank and below. Also, I can't just stand back and allow the clone to fight in my place because I have to be within short range of it. After thinking about it, I believe that I would use this technique with the mist technique from before. Not only could I have the clone do the technique, but then my opponent would be confused as to which one was me and which one was the clone, along with being completely blind. That is a lot of disadvantages that I could place my opponent under in one move.

 

[Detective L]

Trunks does well once more, allowing Dean to easily go on with training. The dreaded C ranks made Dean quite thirsty, and he thought of taking a drink, but decided against it as it was still early. One can't be drunk so early, Dean thought. As the thought crossed Dean's mind, he flicked the scroll towards Trunks as they continued.

"Very good, Trunks. The Water clone is useful technique. Anyway, here you go."

Rank: C
Range: Short
Type: Supplementary
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After performing the Tiger hand seal the user creates a clone of themselves made of water. These water clones have 1/10th of the users chakra. These clones are also limited in that they can only travel short range from the user without losing control. When a water clone take enough damage they revert back to normal water.
Note: Can only perform up to C rank Water techniques and requires a water source.

"Now, the next technique is one that can only be done on a water source. Through the use of manipulating your Water based chakra, you can cause water anywhere around the opponent to be brought up, and then by using precise control you add a spinning motion to this water. This causes a tendril like shape of water to rise, which can be used to maim the opponent by striking them in the leg or so. It's also a nice technique to use as a distraction, ( I always say it's like Stone Spikes of Earth, but a water version Lol ). Stand on the water, and aim to maim my clone."

Dean creates a clone that moves towards the water source.

 

[Xicer]

Trunks catches the scroll with one hand and mumbles Thanks, I appreciate it. He then listens to Dean speak his piece about the next technique, before nodding in approval and walking onto the surface of the nearby pond. He readies himself and awaits the clone. Trunks then channels a large amount of water chakra and causes a wave to surface right in front of the clone, stopping him in his tracks. Then he would manipulate the water from behind the clone to rise toward the clone, spinning as it does. The force collides with the clones back and causes it to dissipate almost immediately.

Trunks trudges back to Dean's position and immediately begins reciting what he learned from using the technique. This seems like it could be a handy technique, if I found myself in the situation that I could use it. To be able to send the skewers to all sides and angles is great, and the fact that it is water instead of earth is great too, because water is a bit quiter than stone. The problem enlies in how very situational it is. Unless I am on water, I can even consider this technique. Also, I could tell that if I tried to extend it's reach to a further point, I would lose control of the tendrils, so that means I can only use this in water while in a close quarters combat situation.

 

[Detective L]

Dean listens to Trunks, who tends to make his analysis quite interesting. He was doing good once more, and so Dean smiled a bit. He wasn't really one for showing it, but today was a good day for him. He just felt it was one of those days, that everything went well. Now, Trunks just proved it by being a good student. Dean then removes his scroll from his bag, and throws it towards Trunks, who just finished talking.

"Trunks..that was very good. The technique is indeed very quite, but a shinobi always tends to listen to his surroundings, so a diversion is sometimes needed to execute a technique. Anyway, here you go."

Rank: C
Range: Short
Type: Offense
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: A technique that deals physical damage to the enemy with a liquid mass brought forth from underwater. Its power to kill and maim is augmented by adding a spinning motion to the compactly pressured water. During fights on water, taking advantage of its characteristic ability to attack from anywhere in a 360 degrees radius, in conjunction with other techniques for distraction, confusion and so forth, this technique has an extensive array of applications.
Note: Requires a water source.

"Now the next technique requires the use if the Hidden Mist technique first. After doing that, you will use your Water based chakra to reflect the natural light into the opponent's eyes, causing them to be blinded for as long as they stay in the mist. This allows for some quick executions, which would easily satisfy you a win. Use it against my clone after making the mist."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Trunks.

 

[Xicer]

Trunks listens to Deans words closely before readying himself for the next technique. Once he sees that the clone has began his charge, Trunks concentrates his suiton chakra and allows a thick mist to surround the area between himself and the clone. As the mist forms, Trunks utilizes his chakra in it to twist and turn into the positions needed to reflect the sunlight into the clones eyes. After the clone is blinded, Trunks reaches into his ninja bag with a swift motion and throws 5 senbon simultaneously. Two target the clone's eyes, the other three target his throat. After the Senbon land, Trunks trots back to Dean.

I see potential for this move, if used properly. It's great in that it helps me blind my opponent completely, in a situation that he shouldn't be able to see in anyway. Next, it could possibly interrupt my opponent making a move, if used at the right time. It is lacking in that I can only use it while using the Hidden Mist Jutsu. Also, I feel like my opponents other senses would be hightened because of this, so I would need either a sound distraction or a silent attack. Which leads me to explain why I used Senbon before. Senbon, or needles as some prefer, have far less total weight and surface area compared to a standard kunai. This means that they will do less damage, but this also means that they will be faster and produce less noise. Another option here would be to use the silent killing technique, which could be deadly in this situation.

 

[Detective L]

Trunks once more finished doing the technique, and quickly gave his analysis on the technique. It was done quite well, which was quite obvious at this point, as Trunks seemed to understand the Water element quite well, or Dean was just an awesome teacher. It was perhaps both. Nonetheless, Dean threw the scroll towards Trunks, and started talking.

"Well done, Trunks. It is indeed deadly with the Silent Killing Technique. Here you go."

Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15(-3 each turn to keep it active)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Using the hidden mist jutsu the user reflects the natural light an a way that it blinds there opponent temporarily as long as the opponent is in the mist.
Note: Must have already used hidden mist jutsu

"Now, the next technique is a quite useful one which I tend to use a lot in battles. The technique starts off by clapping your hands together as you manipulate your Water based chakra, which causes Water to materialize around you in the form of a spiraling vortex. This spiraling vortex will then cascade into a wave either towards the opponent, or all around you. The power of the technique is dictated by the amount of chakra you put in, either C or B rank. Use it against my clone."

Dean then creates a clone that runs towards Trunks.

 

[Xicer]

Trunks accepts the scroll without so much as another word. He then gets into position to take on the clone. He concentrates his water chakra, and uses nature manipulation to convert it into water, which then begins to spin and spiral around Trunks vigorously. He then uses shape manipulation to turn the torrent into a wave, and then launches the wave at the oncoming clone. The wave strikes with tremendous force, causing the clone to disperse.

Trunks then trots back to Deans position and proceeds to tell him what he thought about the technique.I liek this jutsu a lot. First of all, even though this is probably used more for attacks, it can also be used for defense. This is because it veils me before I launch it, so if I time it right, I can bring up that veil as an attack is about to land. Also, the blast can be omnidirectional, so it affect multiple targets, or help in a situation that I am blinded. However, because of the spiraling part at the beginning, this technique isn't very fast, so I would have to choose a different technique if speed is what I need. Last, the spiraling veil can get me into trouble, especially if my opponent can release a lightning attack fast enough. Then my goose would be cooked.

 

[Detective L]

Trunks quickly performed the technique, which was a technique Dean himself enjoyed. It was fast and efficient, and so Dean quickly threw the scroll towards Trunks. With a sip of his Gin, Dean was ready to go on once more. He cleared his throat before he goes on.

"That's well done. Here is the technique, remember to bold the rank that you plan to use, since this technique can be used either at C rank or B rank."

Rank: C-B-Rank
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 15-20
Damage Points: 30-40
Descripton: This technique allows the user after claping their hands together to make a spiralling vortex of water to form around them out of nowhere in a vortex like manner. The vortex then proceeds to cascade into an wave of water that rampages towards the intended target or all around. The size and power of the technique is dictated by the amount of chakra put into the technique, varying from C-rank to B-Rank.

"Now, the next technique is an extremely useful one, that is also widely used. Start off by forming the Bird → Rat → Ox → Monkey → Rat → Snake hand seals, then you will manipulate your Water based chakra to cause it to rain. This rain isn't any normal rain though, as it is closely linked to your senses. This means, whatever the rain touches, you will be able to "sense". You will feel the disturbance in the rain path where the opponent is, and allow you to attack accordingly. This technique causes the rain to fall until it is canceled by you, with a single hand seal. Use it to find my clone, and attack him."

Dean creates a clone that hides.

 

[Xicer]

Trunks catches the scroll, and intently listens to Dean-Sensei's description of the next technique. I've been waiting on this one, actually. Trunks says as he gets into position to find the hidden clone. Trunks concentrates on his suiton chakra while forming the Bird → Rat → Ox → Monkey → Rat → Snake hand seals. Using nature manipulation, Trunks forms rain clouds that fall with the chakra sensing rain. Even though Trunks has natural sensing abilities, this technique's version is a bit different than what he is use to. Usually, he can sense the radiant chakra energy that every person gives off, but the falling rain almost maps out the area completely. Using this map, Trunks feels out the only chakra source that isn't apparent (i.e not Trunks or Dean). After he finds out where the clone is, Trunks forms the water whip that he learned earlier and proceeds to rip the clone a new one.

Coming back to Dean's position, Trunks is ready to give his report on the new technique. I like this technique a lot. It gives me a full layout of the immediate area, rather than just what I can normally sense. This is extremely useful to me compared to other ninja, because I am from the Hidden Rain village. In other places, my opponent would be able to tell what I was doing because I would make rain appear from no where. While at home, I can just infuse my chakra into the rain that already falls, so it is like I did nothing. The problem with that is the long series of hand seals that this technique requires. They have to do something, so this may tip my opponent off.

 

[Detective L]

A technique Dean had used so much himself, he just taught to Trunks who could easily perform it. Although it wasn't Dean's favorite Water technique, it was definitely a very useful technique overall. Dean smiled and threw another scroll towards Trunks.

"Very good, and indeed. At Ame's borderlands, Rain is overall a powerful ability to have already. Anyway, here yo go."

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.

"Now the next technique has a huge amount of hand seals, and I don't particularly like it. You will start off by forming the Snake → Ram → Horse → Hare → Ram → Horse → Hare → Hands spread in front palms out. This would cause a sphere of water to form around the opponent, and trap them within it. This sphere of water is quite stupid though, as one hand has to be kept inside it at all times to sustain it. The Water for the sphere is expelled from the mouth, and it then forms around the opponent. Best used with a clone like Zabuza did in the anime/manga, so yeah, use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Trunks.

 

[Xicer]

Trunks chuckles a bit at Dean's description of the new technique as he puts the scroll away. He then nods in approval and takes his position in front of the clone. The clone starts his sprint at the same time as Trunks starting to form the Snake → Ram → Horse → Hare → Ram → Horse → Hare → 'Hands spread in front palms out' hand seals to concentrate his water chakra. This then causes an orb of water to appear, trapping your clone inside. Trunks keeps one arm in the sphere until such time that the clone drowned. Trunks then removes his arm, allowing the sphere to drop into a puddle, and trots back to Deans position.

I have to say that I completely agree with you. Keeping my arm in like that is completely asinine and can only mean trouble for me. Not only does this give my opponent something that they can grab onto while in the sphere, but if they decided to use an electric attack, we would both be screwed. Also, I had to use, like, 8 hand seals first. That means that if I am pressed for time, this technique is not an option.

Trunks pauses a moment, and takes a long drink from his canteen before scratching his head and continuing.

There are some good things about this technique though. For starters, it completely traps my opponent. This can stop attacks, turn the course of battle, or even kill if left there long enough. Also, the water I use doesn't have to come from a nearby water source, so my options are limitless when it comes to where I can use this.

 

[Detective L]

His performance was good overall, and so Dean already knew it was time to go on again. This training actually went quite fast, which was shocking considering it was Water, which was the element with the most techniques. Most students had a problem in learning this specific element, and Dean just thought that Trunks was indeed quite good, considering that he is new to all this.

"Very well done. Here you go."

Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This technique is used to trap a victim inside a virtually inescapable sphere of water by waving the Snake → Ram → Horse → Hare → Ram → Horse → Hare → Hands spread in front palms out. The only downside to this technique is that the user must keep at least one arm inside the sphere at all times in order for the victim to remain imprisoned. This technique requires a sufficient amount of water, which can be provided by expelling it from one's mouth. Once trapped the target is unable to move while within it due to the heaviness of the water. Because of the density of the water it can be used, to a limited extent, for defensive purposes if performed on oneself. Water clones can be used in preparation for the technique, which block an opponent's attack and trap the attacker in the prison using the clone's own water.

"Now the next technique is one that can save your ass in battle, but also condemn you a death. The technique starts off by manipulating your Water based chakra to transform your very body into the liquid nature of water, and allow yourself to not take physical damage. In this form though, you can't attack, and can be overpowered by the opponent's water manipulation, allowing the opponent to basically kill you with a single move. A nice move to use when you have no way out, but use it wisely."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Trunks.

 

[Xicer]

Trunks listens to his teacher's words carefully before continuing. He was starting to get the hang of water style techniques, but he still needed to stay at full attention and not become careless. Techniques like the one I have to use now can possibly be my demise if I use them wrong. I have to keep using my head, or suffer the consequences.

Trunks then readies himself and prepares for the oncoming clones charge. As the clone approaches, Trunks channels his suiton chakra all around his body. Once the clone encloses and begins an attack, Trunks uses nature manipulation all at once to change his body into water as the clones attack phases right through him. Once the attack is done, Trunks undoes the jutsu, returning to his solid self. He then pushes the clone off and does a spiral back kick that lands on the left side of the clone's jaw, sending him flying.

Trunks then trots back to Dean's position and reports what he finds out. This technique is like a last resort kind of thing. It requires no hand seals, so it's very fast; and it also makes you almost invincible when it comes to physical blows. But you cannot counter attack while you're using it, and if your opponent knows water style jutsu, they could freely control your body. Maybe to the point of your death. It's definitely a risk-rewards thing.

 

[Detective L]

A useful technique Trunks had just learned, but he had to use it wisely. Dean was confident that he would, he was quite good at using the Water element so far. Due to Dean knowing that the Water list was so damn long, he decided to do two techniques. He threw the scrolls towards Trunks and continued.

"Well done, here you go."

Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user can freely transform his body into liquid. This form allows him to avoid taking direct damage from many physical attacks but can not attack while in this form.

"Alright, now the next technique starts off by forming the Dragon → Tiger hand seals which allow you to summon a large amount of water. This water will hang in the air until you use it, and when you do, it is said to form into a dragon with a gaping mouth towards the opponent. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Trunks.

"After that, form the Tiger hand seal and manipulate your Water based chakra. You will then slam your foot on the ground and cause water to rise up and move towards the opponent in the form of a slicing jet. This jet would cut through solid rock as it passes along the ground. Use it against my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Trunks.

 

[Xicer]

Trunks listens to Dean's words carefully while putting the scrolls away. He readies himself for the assault by trotting to mid range of the clone. Once the clone begins his run, Trunks forms the Dragon → Tiger hand seals to concentrate his suiton chakra. He then uses nature manipulation to create a large body of water that lingers in the air as the clone closes in. Once the clone is close enough, Trunks uses shape manipulation to shape the body of water into a dragon's head, which then encloses on the clone at great speed. As the dragon collides into the clone, Trunks hears his teacher begin the description of the next technique. Speeding things up a bit? I can keep up with whatever he throws at me, and I'm going to prove it!

As Dean forms the clone, Trunks immediately snaps to attention and forms the tiger hand seal. In doing so, he concentrates more suiton chakra, but this time he amasses it into his left calf and foot. As the clone gets closer, Trunks takes his time in timing/aligning this shot before stomping his foot on the ground, infusing it with his chakra. Using nature manipulation, Trunks turns his chakra into water and using shape manipulation, a thin but very fast jet. This jet stream would run along the ground, slicing through everything it came into contact with, before slicing up the clone's leg and across his chest.

After doing away with the clones, Trunks walks back over to Dean to give his report on the two techniques.

The first technique was ok, but I find it very situational. It only requires two hand seals, so it is decently fast, but not incredibly so. It is also a very large scale technique, so dodging would be harder. The main problem that I have with it though is the fact that I have to summon the water to the air before I can use it. This fully gives away what is coming before it launches, giving my opponent plenty of time to counter.

Trunks pauses a moment and takes a deep breath. Maybe two techniques at once took a little more out of him than he thought it would. But his pride would never let him admit that.

The second technique though, is the one that I find appealing. One hand seal, so it has awesome speed. Not only that, but the jet moves at a very fast rate, so my opponent must have a very fast counter up their sleeve. Plus, it has been seen to be able to cut through solid earth, so previously made structures that no longer have chakra supporting them are not an issue. The main issue that I see with this one though, is the precision it takes to land this thing. It is very fast so my positioning has to be on point, but I also have to take into account how fast they are moving and in which direction. This is a perfect opportunity for my opponent to crumble the ground beneath me, throwing my jet off course, and causing a miss.

 

[Detective L]

The techniques were done in quick succession of each other, and Trunks had really gotten the hang of performing techniques. Dean was actually surprised that Trunks had done this good, yet he was actually still quite young as a ninja. Nonetheless, the scrolls flew through the air towards Trunks.

"Very good, Trunks. Here you go."

Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user after performing Dragon → Tiger will summon a large amount of water that will then be used to strike at the opponent in several versatile ways. It has been known to transform it into a dragon with a gaping mouth to attack. The water used will be stationary till it is sent offensively toward the opponent.

Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After waving the Tiger hand seal the user slams his foot to the ground, causing water to rise up and travel towards his target as a slicing jet.

"Alright, the next techniques are as follows. The first one starts off by using your Water based chakra to release a powerful wave of water from your mouth. This wave of water is capable of carving the Earth when it is used repeatedly on an area. Use it against my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Trunks.

"Next, form the Tiger → Dog → Monkey → Snake → Boar → Tiger hand seals and manipulate your Water based chakra. This allows you to make water rise from the very ground and form into a mass of water that can be used to defend against an attack, or use it to submerge an aquatic summon. It can also be used to surround the opponent, and drown tehm with said water. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Trunks.

 

[Xicer]

Trunks listens to his teachers words carefully as he describes the next technique. Dean was right, C-Ranks really are Hell. They are all so fluid and versatile, I'm sure their capabilities are almost limitless. But the sheer number that we have to go through is almost over whelming. Trunks thinks as his mind drifts for a moment. Snapping back into reality, Trunks readies up to perform the next technique.

He watches the clone enclose onto his position and responds by channeling his water charka. Trunks waits a moment to let the clone get a bit close before utilizing nature manipulation by forming the water chakra into water, and then a wave with shape manipulation. The wave crashes through the field, and completely overtakes the clone, dragging him back to his original position before making him disperse.

Trunks then readies himself once more, and awaits the clone. With blazing speed, Trunks weaves the Tiger → Dog → Monkey → Snake → Boar → Tiger hand seal series to concentrate his water chakra. With pin point accuracy, Trunks causes a large body of water to gush out of the ground under the clone's feet, trapping him inside. Trunks then walks back to Dean, allowing the clone to disperse as he undoes the technique.

The first technique seems really useful. It doesn't require hand seals, so it is faster. It is also a wide spread attack, so I could use it against multiple enemies at once. The problem that I see with it though is the force is greater as you get closer to the origin, me. So the closer they are, the harder they are going to be hit. If I allow an enemy to get close enough to me to get the full strength of this attack, I could be too late to pull it off.

The second technique is more useful, but also harder to pull off. First of all, there are 6 hand seals which means there isn't an amazingly fast release. If you were to use this for defense, that would be ok, because you don't have to worry about exact positioning. But using for attack requires great focus, which could be easily disturbed. That isn't bad though, for a technique that can be used for attack or defense. Plus, it has great killing potential as well.

 

[Detective L]

He was doing well, but the C ranks were having an effect on both of them. They were hell. But in order to get past them, they had to move on. There were some useful techniques between these though. Dean threw the next batch of scrolls towards Trunks.

"Very good, we are getting there!"

Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Descripton: A strong water wave spit from the mouth that is more compressed than Chaos Water Wave and can carve the earth if used on the same area multiply times.

Rank: C
Type: Defensive, Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After performing the required hand signs Tiger → Dog → Monkey → Snake → Boar → Tiger the user makes water rise from the ground and they can use this water in various ways. They can create a body of water for a water summoning to be encased in and allow them to move around where normally no water exists, or create a body of water to block incoming attacks or surround his target and then drown them.

"Now the next techniques are easy as well. The first technique is simple. If you ever find yourself in a body of water like a lake or so, use your Water based chakra to propel yourself forwards. This also partially masks your presence underwater. Use it underwater!"

Dean creates a large pool of water.

"After that, use your Water based chakra to produce a powerful jet of water from your hands. This can be released quite easily, and also fast. Use it on my clone."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Trunks.
