Ah yes far too brutal for small water techniques my mistake. Well for this particular jutsu maybe Gale Palm or Gale Blast technique or Violent Whirlwind (all C rank wind jutsu)
[Duel Rain Training] Professor Sarutobi & Blizzard
- Thread starter Professor Sarutobi
- Start date
It's a single rain drop we are talking about, chances are it will disperse once interacting with a small wind technique. As for the taijutsu in the combination section. Although it might a good idea it can also be a double edged sword. Why? Because the opponent will read that you used the raindrop technique and simple move his body in such a way, taijutsu wise, to maneuver himself out of its path. Do you follow?
I'd like both of you to find a puddle that has accumulated over time. You will then manipulate that very same source and shape manipulate a spike made entirely of rainwater to pierce your target.
"Well not really, it depends on how you end up using it. My point is the use should be such that the technique acts in the later sequence of your Taijutsu movement, actually trapping the opponent in multiple series of events. Tai > Rain > Tai... So you land a Tai move miss, but it was actually a distraction for Rain technique to work and then if that is successful your upcoming attack of Tai is likely to be a success." Will reply to the actual move in a bit.
Strong points
- Can be a really sneaky technique if the water on the ground is already present, because forming spike from water with no real ground vibrations and such is most effective way to hinder the user's movements.
- The attack extends to Mid range, meaning it will be effective in most scenarios and combinations.
- The attack is of low rank, even though it can be seen as a disadvantage but it has some good side to it, since the chakra is already present this technique is almost so quick to react to it. Quick and sneaky, I like that...
- Small size? How small is the spike?
- Baka like most of rain moves, this one also needs already present rain or water.
- Well the last thing will be if you do it all blunt and expect the opponent to fall for it then.. sigh... no hope. It is too easy to counter because of its low rank. But that can be an advantage like I stated before.
Another combination I see is a front or back attack using like Earth pillar or even swamp's water components to create this technique, I wonder if that is possible?
Ways to counter this technique An effective way is to disperse it or avoid it. I would prefer avoiding it by using a D-rank Earth pillar, or covering a part of body with very low rank Earth will do the trick.
"Puddle?
Alright, well there is a lot of water around because of our early practice." Blizzard dugs the muddy ground to form a container for the rain drops to settle. Soon the water was enough to take control, he extends his chakra mixing water and wind together manages to easily control the constitution of the water created by the rain, the rain already had somewhat of his chakra so it made it even easier to control it. "Umm lets see. Chakra control.. check? Chakra manipulation..." he then manipulates his chakra tof orm a small sized spike on the ground where the puddle was, dense enough to pierce one's foot with ease.

I would use a couple of Rain jutsu like Hidden Rain Slash or Rain Spear and when the puddles have finally formed I'll make the whole area around him shoot up in tiny spikes to stab his feet and sprinkle it in between up and down attacks while throwing in projectiles or Earth or Water jutsus or cause one large spike to their legs with a lot of drops.
Ways to counter this technique
Earth Armor of some kind would protect from all Rain jutsu pretty much, Staying off the ground or moving too fast for them to aim the spike easily. Or stopping the rain (Rain Stop or severing pressure)
- No seals and low rank and no "build up" as far as controlling the puddle because the trigger is the drop hitting the ground so it should be a sudden surge upwards.
- When enemies know you have been using rain they will start watching the sky as that is where 99% of Rain jutsu are coming from so an attack from below can catch them off guard.
- Since it can be one or many i assume if you make many you can either use it to make multiple spikes or varying sizes of spikes so a single drop for say a spike to shoot into their ankle or a large spike to shoot into their back or a small summon
- Only up to Mid
- Requires it to have been raining for a while so can't be used until a couple turns into it raining
- Due to being low rank water any Earth armor would block them (like basic armor formed from Earth Release ,Earth Spear or Hardening)

The swamp combo would be invalid and the size of the spike would rival a pillar created by doton no jutsu.Strong points

Combinations-strategies Muhahahahhaha! Now the fun part. I like this technique and see a very amusing use of it. Torture. O_O Well the technique itself is quite sneaky, its use with a Genjutsu to even hide its existence is effective. As soon as user feels pain snap out of Genjutsu a short range Taijutsu battle will be fun to watch with opponent's feet or leg bleeding.

"Puddle?
Only one spike can be created from this technique.
One of the many spear techniques you will be learning. I want you guys to focus your chakra out around the clouds. you will manipulate the rainwater and gather it, shape manipulating the source into a spear of rainwater. With the usage of a single hand seal, you can manipulate the spear to come raining downwards towards your desired target.

I would form a rain spear a range behind the person then attack with a strong elemental combo to push them back to that range and drop the spear down timed with a paralyzing gen (and if i could use SNK with this i would do genjutsu+rain spike+rain spear brought down)
Ways to counter this technique
Earth armor would protect from it, earth domes, or wind techniques that surround you
- well its much larger then the others so if hit it should do the most damage
- If they can be held they can be set as traps or timed combos
- they only take one seal to trigger
- first big problem is the delay in the spot it coming down in the small chance they notice they might avoid that spot just in case
- 2nd problem is that you need to perform a seal to bring it down from the clouds so thats a trigger to be on guard
- 3rd problem is even though it can be held it still does the same damage as the other C ranks that don't take any seals

*prepares to wait a very long time like normal*
Sorry i know that the one seal isn't a huge alert but it still is a give away enough for most people.

- The fun part of this technique is that it originates in the sky rather than the ground, unlike many techniques it will be harder to predict, notice and avoid.
- It can stay in the clouds until the right time is there to call them by performing a hand-seal.
- It will be faster than the normal spear because the gravity also pulls the spear down, and its content is rain like, probably transparent and hard to notice with the already present rain.
- It will diminish after three turns if not use within those turns its useless.
- It needs a hand-seal to actually initiate.
- Countering it will be easier if the opponent notices it in time it is like a straight on attack.
Ways to counter this technique A small wind blast straight on if noticed in time, other wise avoiding it in the last second by changing distance as it is pretty much direct attack if you miss you miss.
Blizz gathers his chakra in the clouds, wind and water chakra blended together with some shape manipulation and chakra control Blizz easily manages to shape the rain into a spear condensing it and keeping it stationed in the sky, He then performs one hand-seal sending it straight down onto the ground. The intensity and shape of condensed chakra allowed the spear to be sharp and cutting.
Good.
By taking turns on each other, I want you guys to manipulate the rain drops within your target's vicinity. You will then manipulate them, causing them to attract towards the target, completely soaking him in rainwater. If the individual is already in the ground, you can also shape manipulate the attracted rain water near the ground and the target's feet to bind him in place.
Strong points
- Weird, annoying and sneaky technique. I don't think its quite "detectable" in a way that other techniques are.
- Unlike the sticky rain which can be avoided with actions, this is like a magnet attaching itself to the opponent and not just a blunt aim.
- It covers mid-range, it seems like a quick initiation (but slow result - will be a weak point).
- "Once enough"? Dunno how we will determine that, but I am assuming its going to be a slow result.
- Even though its sneaky, the opponent might catch the technique by knowing the rain is sort of following him.
- And like all other this requires a rain source. >_>
Ways to counter this technique A wind disruption of sort, I don't know if covering yourself with earth helps but it may if you cover your feet with the hardening technique.
"WOOOHOO, a sneaky technique!" Blizzard screams as he focuses his chakra in the rain once again, now choosing the direct location or target for the path of the rain, once spotted, the rain is then manipulated to keep attracting itself towards the training dummy. Soon it soaks the dummy to an extent that the dripping rain attaches itself to the ground holding and capturing the dummy in its place.

Begin the Rain Capture jutsu and then use a genjutsu that either blinds or paralyzes them or otherwise makes them ignore the rain and the fact that its pooling on them. Preferably block their ability to escape the gen in any other way then Lightning (say blocking their memory of Earth jutsu with Loss of Memory jutsu) forcing them to use a surge of lightning chakra that will self conduct and paralyze/kill them. Or use Rain of Glue and this so it self attracts the sticky rain to them and binds them much quicker.
Ways to counter this technique
Making a wind jutsu that encircles you to redirect the rain away, using an Earth armor to make it impossible for it to bind you as you can manipulate the earth armor into spikes or other shapes to disrupt the gathering water or stay at long range of the enemy so they can't use the technique at all. Or possibly get rid of the rain all together or stop it with Stop Rain technique.
As Long Feng watches his fellow student bind the dummy with the rain he did the same, releasing his chakra into the rain around them and made the rain direct towards a medium sized rock nearby that quickly becomes coated in a heavy layer of water and the bottom forms a seal of types that hold the base of the boulder to the ground tight making it near impossible to move it without first removing the layer of water.
- Its not easily noticeable at first since the shape manipulation doesn't come until the end where they are coated in water already the rain should normally soak you so unless real far away rain is all flying at him it should just seem like he is getting soaked like normal until suddenly he can't move.
- If you start this after it has been raining a while they should be partly covered in water already reducing the time it takes to bind them.
- If they don't notice and try to use Lightning they should self conduct and zap themselves as you are covering them in a water layer from top to bottom.
- takes a while to cover them if used early on in the Rain source's presence.
- Easily removable with Earth or Wind
- Only up to Mid so if they are playing a long range game you won't be able to slow them down from far away and gain ground.

An earthen armor would suffice, yes.
Liking the gluey rain combination^^
Similar to the technique you've already learned, I want you guys to manipulate the rain drops around your short range and make a physical clone entirely of rainwater, taking your exact appearance. This technique is very similar to the haze-clone technique however it has rainwater as a source instead.

I would preferably get in short range and activate it during a tai fight or use genjutsu then rain clones to confuse them thinking they are surrounded. Probably won't use this justu much honestly so not sure how many viable combos their is for it.
Ways to counter this technique
Any Wind or Earth could easily defend or scatter the rain and make it clear the clones were rain water, if you think it is shadow clones just quickly appearing above you and coming at you it gives a reason to use high level attacks to put pressure on your enemy in return.
I send my chakra out and through the rain drops molding them together into copies of myself as they fall and hit the ground, splattering as harmless rain water in the process.

Ways to counter this technique
Strong points
- Since its low rank and no seals it can be done quickly
- It can be used in combination with Genjutsu to make for some serious mind ****ery, as this jutsu makes it look like clones are raining from the sky which could easily be seen as a nin or gen jutsu.
- Besides a distraction it could also block their vision of spear/bullet type rain attacks coming down as to limit their detection of it even more.
- Completely harmless alone so even if they ignore it it won't do anything but block vision from above
- can be easily destroyed by low rank attacks and used as an excuse by opponents for using stronger jutsu as they might think they are real clones and be in a high pressure situation.
- Short range so it has to be done close to them if you want the clones to be near them otherwise it will just look like clones are falling from the sky and splattering for no reason.

- Excellent Distraction technique probably because they are created due to rain.
- They may act as chakra disruption as they take form and cover large area, I am guessing its multiple clones.
- Quick?
- Short range.
- Harmless and very week clones.
- Need an active rain source like most techniques.
Ways to counter this technique Any disruption will probably do the trick, creating a small blast of wind will work.
Blizzard once again transfers chakra into the rain, releasing controlled chakra he makes the concept of illusionary clone into being with the help of present rain, the rain takes user's form and drops as if the clones are dropping, as that happens they disperse as soon as they hit the ground.
Very good guys.. also remember this can be used as a source of rain for other techniques that could aid you in short range ^_^
P.S - That was a lazy reply Blizzy-cakes!
Your last C-Ranked technique guys!
*Creates two individual clones*
I want both of you guys to focus your water chakra throughout my clone's clothing. You will then use that said chakra to manipulate the rain drops currently falling around them, causing them to attract towards them, seeping into the pores of their clothing.. making them heavier in the process.

personally I have a genjutsu that makes people paralyzed when they are in mid air so activating this (if they are in the air and it's raining) then the genjutsu, even when they break the illusion they are heavier in reality so the sudden change while they were in the illusion can make them doubt if they fully broke it or if the heavy feeling is still an illusion.
Heavy Rain then when they are soaked use lots of Earth jutsu to bind or attack them, their clothes and body being soaked should make it so they harm themselves with lightning jutsu (at least i'd think)
Use the water that is attached to them as a source for small water jutsu (I think this would work at least)
use the rain jutsu that makes the water invisible then use this so they are less sure about the sudden heaviness.
After they are heavy and slowed use speed boosts or wide range lightning to overpower them.
Use NB tai that soaks them (typhoon fist for example I believe its called) to further weight them down.
Ways to counter this technique
Be in long range obviously.
Use some kind of fire armor/jutsu to evaporate the water.
Get rid of the rain source when you feel the effects starting.
Use a B rank or above Water jutsu to pull the water from your clothing to remove the effect even if it's only temporary.
---------------------------------------------
I send my water chakra into the clone's clothing and cause the water droplets to attract towards him like a magnet, soaking him quickly and making it look like he'd been out in the rain for days, his clothing baggy and saturated making it look like he was having a tough time moving in such wet clothes.
- No seals so no dead give away on what you are doing unless their a sensor/dojutsu user
- Very rarely do you fight naked people so you'll almost always be able to use this (if it's raining)
- Makes them saturated with water making it very dangerous for them to use Lightning and thus you can use a lot of Earth jutsu and they will have a harder time dealing with it.
- Only up to Mid
- Needs to be raining/wet to be activated
- Takes a bit of time to take full effect and can be blocked if they notice they are getting noticeably heavier quicker then normal.
