Strong points
Ways to counter: Like you said, the use of fuuton style wind release jutsu can cause a big enough gust depending on the jutsu to blow away the clouds.
Any question Not really.
- Can reach up to long range.
- The whole jutsu it's self is a strong point LoL, being able to sense you're enemy(s) through rain is nice.
- If there was no water source the rain can create one to be used.
- The clouds I summon can be useful for other reasons, they pretty much change the battlefield.
- The jutsu can be blown away by a wind technique.
- The jutsu doesnt tell you how much chakra the opponent has, so one could summon multi shadow clones and I wouldnt be able to locate the 'real' opponent with the rain.
