The Chakra will be manipulated using shape manipulation until it turns into a white viable halo of lighting that will begin to fly into the air, taking the user along with it. The user will then push his hands forward infront of him making the halo expand infront of him as it fires hundreds of spikes towards the ground purposefully missing the enemy so that the spikes land in a circular formation around the target leaving the enemy trapped inside the circle of lighting. The lighting will explode in a 360 shock wave hitting everything on the ground, once the lighting explosion has gone off the user will fall back towards the ground. Note: Can only be used twiceNote: the user can chose to stay on the ground and let the Halo rain the lighting down upon both him and the enemy Note: If already in the air the user will not float up higher, also the user can chose to release the jutsu from the ground but the spikes will go straight for the enemy rather then make a circle around him.

Then, as the water molecules multiply, the user will manipulate it with wind chakra to create ice chakra. With the use of nature transformation, they would harden all the water molecules present in front of the user, and shaping it into a fairly large bird, made completely of ice. The bird is about two times the size of the user, with a 4 meter wingspan. This bird is extremely versatile in terms of usage. Like a bird, it has the ability to fly, about the same speed as an eagle and can fly with one person on its back. This bird made of ice has an extremely large and sharp beak, made of ice as well and as such, can pierce through human flesh with ease. This beak counts as a B-rank, and a move of course. It can be used to attack by flying towards an opponent, and directly piercing the target or using it as a projectile, de-attaching from the target and reaching up to mid-range. Secondly, it has the ability to release either, four balls of ice at high speeds, which all explode upon impact, into many icicles with slicing properties, or one large ball of ice that, upon impact, would explode into large, and more icicles. This would also count as a move, and as an A-rank ice technique. The four spheres of ice would each be the size of a basketball, while the single bigger ball of ice would be half the size of the bird. Lastly, if commanded, it can flap its wings to cause the molecules in any particular area, preferably around the user, to multiply and solidify, creating a wall of ice that can defend from certain elemental and physical techniques. (A-rank wall, counts as a move and goes according to elemental strengths and weaknesses.) The bird is also unaffected by B-rank or below techniques. (Lightning excluded)Notes & Restrictions:- Can only be used twice with a two turn cooldown.- Anivia lasts for 3 turns in the battlefield; it can be deactivated at any given time.- Cannot use any S-rank or above Ice techniques in the next turn, or any Forbidden rank water/wind techniques.- All of its techniques/abilities count as a move from the users move count and consume the users chakra to use (according to the rank of the technique)Approved here: <a href="http://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157594&p=15527076&viewfull=1#post15527076">http://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157594&p=15527076&viewfull=1#post15527076</a>Taught too: edward,tybone,inch__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _#12:Hyoton: Fraust no shūjin) - Ice Release: Prisoners of the Frost Type: Offensive/SupplementaryRank: SRange: Mid-LongChakra: 40Damage: 80Description: With the use of their ice chakra and three handseals (Boar → Rat → Tiger), the user will channel ice that chakra approximately 3 meters behind the target. The ice chakra would serve to cause the water molecules to multiply to create an ample amount of water, then harden to be formed into ice. With the use of shape manipulation, the user will be able to shape the ice into a tomb, about the size of the target. With further shape manipulation, the user can shape four shackles with chains attach to them, and with a wave of the hand, cause the shackles to extend and bind to the opponents limb, while pulling them back abruptly, and locking them into the tomb. With the use of another handseal, the user can cause the inside of the tomb to create icicles, stabbing a target who is inside and possibly killing them. Notes & Restrictions:- Shackles can extend up to 10 meters- Can only be used three times, with a two turn cooldown. No S-rank wind/water for the next turn, and no S-rank Ice either.- The tomb can stay at the battlefield for two turns without being used, however, on the third turn, it will simply melt.Approved here: <a href="http://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157594&p=15527076&viewfull=1#post15527076">http://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157594&p=15527076&viewfull=1#post15527076</a>Taught too: Edward,inch__________________________________________________#13 (Hyouton: Tou Ue)- Ice style: Freeze up Type: Supplementary/DefensiveRank: ARange: N/AChakra: 30Damage: N/A Description: After many years living in the mist alongside the Hozuki the Yuki had seen their unique ability to become completely water. The Yuki sought out a way to replicate that power but with their own kekki genkai after many years they figured out a way to become ice itself. The user will focus their ice chakra throughout their body merging it into every cell and constantly will pump the chakra in and out the user will begin to take the appearance of ice and will continue this process until the user is solid ice. Unlike the Hozuki who are unable to maintain human shape, the user will maintain their shape due to ice being solid. While the user is like this they will also take the properties of ice being resistant to wind and water neutral to fire and weak to earth and lighting. The user will still be able to move around while they're ice and if shattered the user will still be alive unless they return to their human form but will still be able to perform ninjutsu if the jutsu used as long as they don't require handseals. If shattered (as in into pieces not just an arm or a leg) the user will not die unless they turn back to their human state but even if shattered into pieces the user will be able to preform water wind and ice jutsu still as long as they don't require handseals. (once again that wouldn't count it just a leg was shattered you would still be able to make handseals if your arms are intact). While this is active, the user can only use Ice, Wind, Water and any KG/CE combinations of the aforementioned elements as well as non-elemental abilities (Nin, Gen, Tai, Ken, etc).Note: User can remain as ice for four turnsNote: can only be used thrice per battle<a href="http://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157594&p=19204413&viewfull=1#post19204413">http://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=157594&p=19204413&viewfull=1#post19204413</a>taught to: Mcrazor,inch______________________________________________________#14 UPDATEDHyouton: Koori Koukai)-Ice Release: Ice reformType: SupplementaryRank: ARange: Short - LongChakra: 30Damage: N/ADescription: This jutsu is a sister jutsu to Ice release: freeze up, and is used only after the user has been shattered either by alittle bit like losing an arm or alot like being completely turned into little pieces of ice. The user will focus his chakra into one piece of the Ice which will become the center piece or the brain the chakra spread will out from the center piece like a spider web one string of chakra attached to each piece of ice. Then using his chakra he'll pull the pieces back together and using the spider web like chakra will repair cracks reforming the jutsu to how it was before breaking. The user can also reform from having been melted, the process is similar in that the user will spread his chakra amongst his body and pull it back together but in order to fully reform he'll also refreeze himself using his Wind chakra. Unless the moisture is vapourised Note: Can only be used three times per battleNote: The user can use this for a single limb or their entire body,meaning if you lose an arm last turn and the next turn you shatter completely this jutsu will bring everything back together.Approved here: <a href="http://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=711213&page=16&p=20827507&viewfull=1#post20827507">http://narutobase.net/forums/showthread.php?t=711213&page=16&p=20827507&viewfull=1#post20827507</a>Taught to: Mcrazor,inch_________________#15Suiton: Primal umi juugan)- Water style: Primal sea bulletsType: OffensiveRank:A/SRange:Short-longChakra:30/40Damage:60/80Description: The user will make a single handsign while focusing their water chakra into several spheres made of water each the size of a bullet,The user can choose to create the bullets around the enemy using the moisture in the air, or create them in short range of himself if he so wishes, he can form them anywhere as long as there is moisture in the air,or a water source if no moisture is present. With a snap of the users fingers each one will release a stream of highly pressurized water at the enemy from all sides. This jutsu can also be used directly from infront of the user as a frontal attack rather then a surrounding one. When the User creates a single one it is A rank in power, if more are made it is S rank. When the user makes a single one he can manipulate it more freely to go wherever he wants and then make it release its stream.

There he will use his wind chakra to cool the water chakra down to the point where its extremely freezing with ice crystals inside the water, but are to small for the normal human eye to see. This water will force its way out of the users mouth due to the sheer volume and pressure it puts on the users chakra and body, it must burst out on its own or with the users own intent because otherwise it would freeze inside the user. It will come out as a large wave of water heading towards the opponent. The water is so freezing cold that any water that touches it will freeze and be shattered into nothing by the wave and any fire jutsu that touches it will have no effect. Once the water settles it remains freezing turning the entire battle field into a cold lake as high as 10 meters, and as wide as 24 feet. The lake is cold to the touch and can cause numbness on contact slowing down the person that touched it by one speed rank. After 3 turns the lake will freeze due to how cold it is before then the lake can be used for water jutsu that will all be combined with the ice particles inside the water however after the lake settles it is no longer immune to fire, only the use of the jutsu itself is. The enemy will be able to use this water source as well even with the ice particles inside the water.Note: No other ice/water jutsus above A rank in the same turn or following turnNote: Can only be used twice. Note: On second use the lake will not gain an extra 10 meters, it will simply disappear if a liquid lake from the last use is still present. Note: The user cannot use fire jutsu next turnNote: No fire jutsu can evaporate this lake In the turn it's made, after that S rank fire will be able to counter it.Note: The user will be safe from the jutsus cold effects due to his training with ice.Note: one turn cool down after use.Note: After the lake it main, the water is treated as normal water that is cold, and so any jutsu made from this water gain no benefits.
