"No need to worry!" in some sort of enthusiastic Dawn-from-pokemon-like way, I'll have it soon enough. Kinda got Earth Training again so whee. :3

"Yes, sensei" I replied in a monotone way, as I knew this technique would be fun. I hopped off the table I was slouched on and casually walked towards the more open area nearing the lake and creating a Water Clone out of nothing by performing the Tiger seal.

(Mizu Bunshin) - Water Release: Water Clone

Spoiler

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.

While the clone stands there, I control it to charge towards the clone created by you, using it as a facade while standing still controlling chakra into the clone. I take control of the clone which while running towards your clone, freezes and starts to discolourate itself, reverting to a colorless water being in my shape, holding up all my curves and so on. I proceed to segregating the watery clone itself, quickly converting it into four seperate parts from the right and left upper bodies and the same for the lower bodies. I, using my shape manipulation transform these bodies of water into sharp objects, like large kunai pointed straight at the clone. One by one, I control the 'kunai' to charge into seperate segments of the clone. The left top one flies first, and is aimed towards the top of the right shoulder. The second one to fly is the right bottom knife, and is aimed towards the clone's left shin. The third knife is the bottom left and is aimed above the right thigh, aimed towards the pelvic area and the final one; the top right knife is made to pierce right through the top of the stomach, right about where the ribcage ends.

Alternative OP. Now say something epic so I can put it in my sig. :| By the way what anime IS your sig from? xD

Although his face was somewhat impassive, I could see a sign of hidden excitement within Alternative's actions. A water clone appeared out of nowhere next to him and before I could blink, it had dissolved into water, shaping itself into four sharp kunais.
A small, yet very sadistic grin spread across his face as the weapons flew towards my clone, embedding themselves in rather painful areas, easily dispersing it.
I shrugged - words probably weren't needed much. "Just remember to create a Water Clone beforehand," I said, almost immediately forming another Shadow Clone as quickly as the first had disappeared.
I gestured at it in my normal phlegmatic way as I gave the instructions for the next jutsu. "Simply run up to my clone and then start punching and kicking him, finally launching him into the air upon where you charge Suiton chakra into your hand and then swing it in an arc, forming a blade of water that will strike him and finish him off."

I'm not making sadistic faces what the hell are you talking about It's from Katekyo Hitman Reborn, maybe you've heard of it. It's basically this loser bitch kid who's forced to become a mafia boss. xD

--

As yet another clone reappears, I'm pretty sure he's broken the rule for how many clones one can use in a single thing, but I will not care for it because I don't like caring for other people.
I give a short gesture of nodding, to show that I understand the instructions and how to proceed with the technique. I stand mid-range from the clone at first, slowly pacing myself towards him while I think of a strategy of how to go about these punches and kicks. As I slowly make my way into short range of the clone, I feel prepared enough to continue with the technique, so I halt my paces, and form my stance into tha of someone about to take off while running in a standing position. Using a burst of chakra from my feet, I take off at near untraceable speeds, heading directly to the clone and halt immediately in front of him. I crouch somewhat, lowering my stance and perform an underhanded jab to the clone's stomach with my right arm, making him bend over in pain. While the clone is bent over grasping at his stomach, I take further action, by bringing my right knee up into the clone's chin in an attempt to knock him up from the ground and somewhat away from myself. Using this advantage, I use another burst of chakra to speed myself around to my right (the clone's left side) to flank around behind him. Lowering my stance even more, I place pressure onto my right hand so I appear to be doing a strange back bend underneath the clone's falling position and bring my left foot up into the arch in his back, kicking him upwards into the sky similar to the Leaf Rising Wind technique (whatever you call it). As the clone rises through the sky, I bring my stance back to a stand, while quickly putting my left foot forward. I channel chakra into my right arm, focusing on dispersing a slight amount of water from the palm similar to the Water Hands technique, and use shape manipulation to channel this chakra into a scythe's blade. The curve is very similar to a crescent moon, is rather large and menacing and curvy. I try to condense the water, hardening the blade to retain it's shape as I perform the technique. I hold my right arm back with the blade of water attached, and push my right foot forward for momentum. Using this, I bring my right arm across my body, performing a crescent slash across the clone's back, which should leave a scar. I end up in a position where I'm leaning to my left side, holding my right arm down while the water disperses into nothing, as should the clone.

"Loser bitch kid." How nice. xD ALSO, HOLY F*CKING SHIT, I CAN NOT EVEN COMPARE WITH THAT TAIJUTSU DETAIL...*throws up hands in defeat and hands you a white flag* Remind me to never teach you Taijutsu...
---
Almost as if testing his footing upon the ground, Alternative started off somewhat slow, but then suddenly sped up like a rush of taken steroids. With a speed that was extremely hard to follow even with my eyes, he easily knocked my clone into the air, smoothly finishing off the combo with a vertical slash of Water upon its back to finish it off.

I blinked a few times, somewhat stunned by the fluid execution of the combo. "What can I say? An expert move...it seems you understand this jutsu quite well."
Shrugging, I took a few steps backwards, placing myself at mid range from Alternative. "This next one is quite simple, and is pure utility. Proceed to send water throughout the earth and then knock me into the air. What could be the purpose of this?"

VIKTORY!!!1 But no need to worry, I have Taijutsu training so you won't be bugged about it. :3
Also sorry I didn't reply in a long time, my internet failed for a bit of time and the technique is kinda boring tbh. xD

--

Naturally.
The only thought that could escape my mind after hearing the compliment on the technique. It may have seemed that I would be quite stuck up, but it's not bragging if you can back it up.

When you stepped back into a more agile, fighting position from myself, I could only think of how he's putting his own body on the line for me. Maybe the clones didn't suffice for training, or maybe he felt like getting into the fray himself. No one knew of his motives except for him, of course.
After hearing the instructions, I knelt to the ground onto my left knee. The technique as explained seemed like it would be similar to a geyser, but without the boiling water. Maybe it was better to explain the technique as a busted water pipe, and that's exactly how I was going to perform it. I channeled my water chakra into the ground, hence the kneeling gesture from before. I sort of direct the water chakra to be above the ground, but underneath you at the same time, like it were leaking water for me to materialize. I begin to materialize this chakra into water, and making it seem like water is seeping from the ground underneath you. Taking a bit more time, I allow more and more and more water to take form from the chakra underneath you, and finally using shape manipulation to have it 'erupt' from underneath you, lifting you into the air. I focus the pressure of the chakra fountain from moreso your feet's location picking up from that area first, focusing on pressuring the left foot first, just to throw you off-balance and giving me more time to focus on erecting the fountain. I then push more chakra into this water, pushing a sensei pretending he's on a tightrope off his feet and staying afloat upon a gushing fountain of water. When I feel content with my own abilities with the technique, I release the grip I have over the water, allowing it to disperse into a puddle on the grassy plain, and get up from my kneeling position.

I casually strolled back over to the table where I was last seated. "Well", I exclaimed quite lavishly. "This technique I would say is best used in conjunction with a more offensive oriented follow-up. The aim is to throw someone off their balance, allowing you to follow up with an avant garde performance to kill, or just maim severely." It should have been obvious now as to why I added that last statement into my answer for the technique.
"This technique can also be used in the opposite way, to follow-up on an offensive technique. If I were to throw a cluster of earth at you in an arching formation, I could use this technique after that to lift you into the earth, allowing for a stronger impact and for it to hit an unexpected area." I took a deep breath after my somewhat lengthy explanation, while grabbing the screw-top bottle from the table and taking a drink.

HOLY F*CK. Wall o' text!

The jutsu was done...quite to perfection. Alternative pulled off the jutsu quite with ease and I watched as he sat back down, completely satisfied with the results.
As was I.
Though I would probably never tell him that.
I nodded to his response. "Yes, throwing someone off balance is extremely important - in fact, tossing your opponent up into the air as gives you a better view of him, allowing for greater accuracy. And nice combo with the earth...the law of gravity, by the way, is 9.8 m/s. Not sure if that would ever come in handy."
Shrugging, I watched as Alternative grabbed a bottle of soda from the table, popping it off and chucking it down.
"Well, when you are ready," I said. "Proceed to form the Ram handseal and then charge your Suiton chakra into your dominant hand. Then pull it backwards..." I mimicked the action with my right hand. "And then thrust it forward, releasing a bullet of water."

um no i'm drinking water we went through this like 10 posts ago D:

--

I put the bottle of water and not soda to my parched lips, taking small sips at a time but without removing the bottle from the area. Something was said about gravity which I certainly didn't know, so I just made a mental note of it in my head.
I removed the now empty bottle from my lips, now glistening from the water and not soda and chucked it on the floor as you were explaining the usage for the technique and how to go about performing it.

"Hmm? No target this time?" I phrased towards you in a slightly shocked manner. I shrugged, "Good grief, I suppose I can use you again." I stood up from the table when I finished the shrugging motion. I brought my fists together, cracking the knuckles in my fingers while walking slowly towards you. I took a slight assertive stance, placing my legs apart, pointing my feet outwards in a V formation. I take a deep breath from just preparing, and exhale the breath. I bring my hands together during the exhale, holding both my hands in a seal of confrontation formation, and placing them together obscurely. The hand seal alone allows me to channel the water chakra much more freely with what I want to do, so I channel the chakra into my right arm solely, and forcing the chakra out of my tenketsu while manipulating it to take a physical form. This allows water to potentially start dripping from my right hand. I allow the water to take the form of my hand, moistening it while building it up. Of course at this stage I'm still holding the Ram seal, so I release that and hold my hands open at my hips. Allowing water to freely drip from my right hand, I tense my body up while taking another deep breath. By releasing the water chakra within me using the same method just to create a small amount of water, I slowly move my right hand upwards, keeping the tense justification with my body and bring my right foot inwards towards my left. My right palm is facing upwards towards my own armpit. With a swift movement, I force my right palm forward as well as my right foot, using it for momentum and releasing all the chakra within my right hand towards you. A small stream of water should form like a bullet leaving the chamber of a gun, being shot with a large amount of force aimed at your chest. The water isn't built to cause any piercing wounds like a bullet, but more as a use to push you back several feet, serving as a distraction if I were to go in for another attack.

Tempted to slap my own forehead due to my own laziness and lack of creating a Shadow Clone, I was forced to defend against Alternative's move.
Slipping my right hand onto the hilt of my sword, I drew it out quickly as my other hand came to grasp the handle as well, holding the sword in front of me in such a way so that it equally cut the two sides of my face in half.
I bent my knees slightly, making sure my body weight was equal on either as I charged extra chakra into the soles of my feet, making sure it was implanted properly into the ground.
The bullet hit with quite the force, but was sliced directly perfectly in half so that the water merely coursed past me on both sides as I resheathed my sword, suddenly quite went.
Slightly irritated, I shrugged, and then wordlessly walked back up to Alternative, thrusting my sword out at him. "Take this. Create a wave of water, ride it, and then slash my clone with the sword."
This time, I remember to create a clone. Long range from Alternative.

wait, you can actually do that with a normal sword?

--

The sword was unsheaved from it's scabbard, held in front of the man with such poise; such grace just cutting the bullet shot at him like it was rubber. Well, rubber is tougher than water, but you get the idea xD. The soaked blade was then resheathed, grinding metal noises could be heard from bird chirping nearby, scared of the irritating sound.
As the man walked up towards me, he indicated I should take this sword which was used to parse through the water bullet. He held the hilt of the sword to me, so I took it graciously with my right hand, grinding it out of the scabbard placing downwards pressure so the tip of the blade would flick upwards after the sheathing of the katana.
I started to play around with the blade for a bit, getting the feel for the katana before I perform the technique. After all, I wanted to perform at a high level and not knowing the blade meant having the potential for everything to go awry. Grasping it firmly in both hands, swinging it from side to side, just getting the feel for precision, more than anything.

With the clone's distance set at approximately long range from my standing position, I take a deep breath in, and exhale. I'm starting to channel my water chakra through my feet and onto the grounf, imagining a wave manifesting from nothing but the ground for me to ride with the sword in hand. I hold the sword steadily with my right hand, holding it nearest to the hilt for exerting the least strength for wielding the katana. I begin to take a running start, focusing my water chakra still to create a wave at the right moment. Pacing myself while picking up speed, I eventually reach the mid range target of the clone which is what I would need to create the wave to ride and kill the target. The katana's movements are somewhat sluggish, with me holding a rather stoic demeanor. The sword itself is nearly being dragged on the floor, but I'm not allowing it to touch the floor or it would be dangerous. I reach the desired mid range position, finishing my run landing on my right foot, allowing for a large amount of water to start gushing from the floor; my own manipulated water bursting out to become a wave of destruction. I place my left foot in front, holding my balance on the wave while I strengthen my stance holding the blade in question. As I start to close in on the clone, I hold a rather different stance with the katana. I bring my left arm out in front of me, using it as somewhat of a guide, and is held in a flat, but firm palm. My right hand is like you were to hold a katana straight at someone, but inverted. The katana itself is held with the sharp side pointing towards the sky and the sword held above my head. The tip of the katana and my left palm are touching, but no pain as it's the blunt side of the blade touching my palm. It's referred to as the Amado Stance.

As I control the wave to wisp towards the clone even faster, I tense my body, looking for the ample time to strike. I slow things down in my mind, calculating everything as I race down towards the clone. After I finish, I would be pretty much within striking distance of the clone. I veer off the wave slightly to the left, allowing myself to strike. I push the lent katana forward in a swift motion, towards the clone. As it would seem to be natural, I twist my arm clockwise, rotating the blade in a heartbeat, with the intent of striking the clone's upper left torso, and towards the ribs. The clone's cries should be heard from the birds, screaming in agony from the painful slice delivered to it's left side. I ride the wave past the clone, kneeling downwards onto my right knee from the stance as a landing of sorts, allowing the wave to dissipate from underneath me.
I relax my tension, dropping the katana to the floor without letting go of it. Exhausted, I get up, and intend to take a small break from this training, giving the sword back to the sensei in a proper manner. Blade facing towards myself, with both hands making sure not to hurt myself, nor him. He was the man gracious enough to teach me after all the people he had previously accepted.

By the way, I'm referring to a stance similar to this:

As usual, I was quite impressed at the delicacy, yet near perfection of how Alternative planned his moves. With a running start, no doubt calculated well and planned, he ran at my clone, fluidly bringing up hands to assume a rather interesting stance, one that perfectly balanced him upon the wave he now rode.

The move he delivered was no less satisfying - with a perfectly aimed strike between the rips, my clone dissipated rather swiftly, after the rather painful cries he delivered.
Alternative paused after his spectacular display, seemingly catching his breath as he eventually turned, walking back to me and preventing the sword in a respectful manner.
Nodding in response, I lowered my head slightly in returned deference as I accepted my sword back, sheathing it back into the hilt. No doubt, Alternative would have been quite exhausted after such a move, so I allowed a small rest in between the training, feeling that we have exhausted enough for now.
Leaning against the tree as Alternative rested on the bench, I closed my eyes, letting my thoughts wander, a normal happening nowadays. After all, things tended to be rather arduous as of late, and small breaks were rather rare.
The rest didn't last long, however, and after a polite inquiry, I guided Alternative on his next move:
"Form the handseals of Boar → Dog → Ram, rotating Water chakra in your palms, spinning it faster and faster until it becomes a huge vortex. This is more like a water tornado, and can be used in many different ways...combine it with Wind, use it offensively, defensively."
I shrugged.

I don't like BSing training either, but I find it hard to respond sometimes. Sometimes I'm just not in the zone to do it. Some of the techniques are so limited and I feel like I'm repeating myself all the time. Tis why I like freeform. :3

--

The rest I took didn't last too long; they were but simple techniques after all, as Kiritsugu casually told more orders for the next technique. He seemed rather... unenthusiastic about explaining it. The technique at hand seemed to be rather plain, something common amongst most shinobi with a water affinity. Still, it's a technique which could come in handy given the explanation.
I casually arose from my seated position on the bench, taking a small stroll. As usual, I'd take small precautions such as taking deep breaths, making sure there was a nice clearing for me to use the technique as well as focusing my water chakra and allowing it to flow rather rapidly throughout me.
It was almost in an unseen motion, I'd perform the three hand seals needed for the technique, finishing up with a firm hold on the Ram seal. It was evident as to what should happen next, I rotated the chakra circulating around me within my palms, creating a miniature torrent of water, spiraling with a neat tornado style to it. I pulsed more and more of my own chakra into it, making sure to maintain it's composure, shape and rapid spiraling effect. When I was happy with the size of the miniature which would be quite large in my palms, about the size of my own torso, I released the whirling tornado unto the land before me, allowing myself to exude a plethora of chakra into the tornado to enlarge the tornado immensely. I'm constantly taking precaution with this technique, making sure I don't get sucked into the vortex myself which would be bad for me. I enlarge it to be quite tall in height, about 10 meters or so, while allowing it to grow in width, proportionate to it's height. It's a rather devastating creation if I do say so myself~

 

[Adachi]

My eyes followed the huge vortex as I finally decided to scam, dashing to one side as the monstrous creation barely missed me.
After recollecting myself, I turned a serious gaze back to Alternative, gesturing vaguely with a hand at the scattered puddles of water before me, remnants of the jutsu.
"So, do you remember what works best in combination with such a huge scale jutsu?" I questioned.

 

[Alternative]

I pondered the question for a second there, having to refresh my memory with everything that's been going lately. I hadn't personally been told anything about a combination with this technique, nor had I seen it in any of my battles. I had heard of this technique before, so I've known about what does and doesn't work with it.
"Well, I know for certain that the Rasengan works well with this technique." I mentioned with a confident tone. "The spiraling energies together synergize really well, allowing it to expand and grow even faster. The spiraling the Rasengan brings to the element even allows it to be pitted against the strongest of fire jutsu and even out a battle of weakness."
I knew that was the main point of the question, but in reality anything could work with this technique, utilizing it's wavering motion and the fact that it's such a big technique. You could use it with Earth Corridor, creating a large cavern with a spiraling torrent of water, unrelentlessly attacking someone, Antlion to increase the draining and the rate that someone sinks, Wave of Inspiration for a nice Water/Lightning combo without disrupting anything by too much; the possibilities are endless.

 

[Adachi]

I nod in acknowledgement and the knowledge of Alternative's words. "Well put. Yes, indeed, even the greatest of Fire techs shall bow down before this spectacular technique! And oh, it only requires a single hand!"
Upon finishing my words, I sit Alternative down on the bench as I take out a whiteboard mysteriously from nowhere. I spent quite the time drawing out some handseals upon it.
"Now, proceed to step over to the lake here. Perform these handseals: Ox → Monkey → Hare → Rat → Boar → Bird → Ox → Horse → Bird → Rat → Tiger → Dog → Tiger → Snake → Ox → Ram → Snake → Boar → Ram → Rat → Yang Water → Monkey → Bird → Dragon → Bird → Ox → Horse → Ram → Tiger → Snake → Rat → Monkey → Hare → Boar → Dragon → Ram → Rat → Ox → Monkey → Bird → Yang Water → Rat → Boar → Bird." I gesture at the whiteboard. "Here's your reference point. Afterwards, take control of the water and form it into a HUGE dragon. Strike this at my clone in any you wish. We shall discuss this amazing jutsu afterwards."

First of all and I think this is the most important thing, what the **** is a Yang Water seal? xD
Also I'm not going to make this grand, I'm about to go sleep tbh and I'm traveling tomorrow so wanna get it out of the way just for now. >_>

--

The whiteboard appearing out of the thin air around me was simply divine, amazing, magical. No hand seals were formed, nor was it a summoning technique, so I'm completely baffled as to how it was done.
I gazed upon the whiteboard whilst seated, like a good boy paying attention in primary school, while many hand seals were drawn onto the board. I won't lie, there were a lot of hand seals for the technique at hand. I'm guessing the technique itself was on a scale from gigantic to something bigger than that xD. As gestured, I paced myself over to the lake, forgetting to take my feet off the ground, so it was more like I was dragging them along the grass. I proceeded to walk in front of the lake, because this technique takes a lot of effort and concentration. I performed this long, and strenuous string of hand seals, weaving them like it was a second nature to me. Finishing up with the Bird seal, I focused as much chakra as I could into the lake, pulsing it in there to unleash the dragon within (literally). Upon reaching the climax of chakra within the lake, I forced the water to rise up from the lake, shaping the top of it like a dragon's head. I remember visiting these small areas as a kid, and they'd use chinese dragons to celebrate their own new years, so I thought of those when forming this dragon's head. Remembering it's flawless scales, the whiskers which pertained across it's cheeks and elegance as it weaved throughout the streets. I break it off after it reaches the desired length of the dragon, finishing with a wispy tail, able to whip anyone into shape. I allow it to just coil around the lake and myself, playing with it, controlling it. When I felt ready, I brought down the dragon and unleashed it's fury onto the clone which stood before me, drowning him in the sorrow of the dragon's tears.

i'm such a poet

 

[Adachi]

Good question. I didn't see you reading through all the handseals. O_O It's actually a handseal that has been used in only two jutsus in the entire manga...
It seems pretty dam grand to me. >.> And have fun on your trip!
---
The imagery was absolutely breathless - I shielded my eyes as I gazed at the dragon, perfect in shape and size, dancing effortlessly on the water before Alternative.
In my amazement, I was nearly caught by surprise as the ground below me rumbled as the all the water was released at once upon my clone. I didn't even see it poof as remaining puddles gently cascaded upon my feet.
"Excellent job," I congratulated. "As usual, of course. Now, this was quite the complicated jutsu, as I am sure you've gathered. So how might you use the huge size of this jutsu, and also, how does the long series of handseals affect you in battle?"

 

[Alternative]

I knew it was a long and complicated jutsu, the performance I displayed for Kiritsugu clearly showed that in the artistic way the dragon flowed along the battlefield.
"Hand seals" I begun with a confident tone to myself, "it really restricts your movement in battle, especially with such a long line of them. Your hands aren't free, so you can't easily dodge simple things like kunai and shuriken. The long string of hand seals could be comparable to trying to get into Sage Mode by yourself". The last bit made in a clear joking manner. "But really, this technique has a long string of hand seals, which practically makes you vulnerable to counter-attack. Pulling the technique off is quite a feat though, and should be able to withstand even the strongest of techniques."

 

[Adachi]

I nodded and decided to move on.
"So, let's step back to this lake for a moment," I said. "Channel your chakra into it to create an orb. Then, guide your chakra into the middle of that orb and bring out several whips of water. Then, using those whips of water, attempt to put out these fireballs I aim at you.
Also, keep in mind the two functions this jutsu serves."

[Alternative]

He seemeed to be oblivious, Kiritsugu did. I never really positioned myself away from the lake, at all, so movement wasn't really needed.
Upon gazing at the lake, I turn myself to be facing Kiritsugu, the sensei teaching me the technique. Part of this was destroying fireballs he would send at me; it'd be better to be prepared by knowing where the technique is coming from. I perform the Tiger seal, as it was needed for the technique. I'd had previously studied a few water techniques in my time, being from Kirigkaure and all. It's good to have a knowledge on the jutsu your homeland prides itself on. Anyway, forming the seal I use my water chakra to conjugate a highly condensed orb, like it were forming out of nothing. I control the orb to hover short-range from myself, waiting for the fireballs to come at me.

While the fireballs are aimed at me coming from multiple directions, I do the same type of thing with my orb. Using this highly condensed water to keep formation, I allow the orb to burst out whips, perfectly sharp at the tips, could kill someone like a scorpion could if I really wanted to. I burst them in such a frantic manner, it seems like it was just randomized how they were coming out of the orb, piercing the air at all sorts of directions. The fireballs coming at me now, these apparent random whips lashing out, I direct them at about 2-3 at a time to unleash and burst through these fireballs headed my way, essentially bursting them like mere water balloons. The orb stays still and the same as it always will for the duration, while the whips are extinguished with the flames, allowing for steam to rise from all the collisions. While it's hard to see, I can still make out some of the fireballs while the steam starts to erupt, and proceed to destroy them all with these whips.
"Phew" I mentioned under my breath as the barrage of flames ceased. It seemed like a difficult task, so I just casually walked through the now subsiding steam, making visual contact with Kiritsugu, while dispersing the original orb of water back into nothing.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me.

There was a determined, yet pleasant gaze in Alternative's eyes as he effortlessly flung the whip around much like a cat with a toy mouse, hitting my fireballs with pinpoint accuracy.
I could not doubt his fluency nor practice with the whip, and I was left nodding my full approval as he eventually relaxed, dispersing the whip. "Well," I said. "Keep in mind that the whip is not just water, but also a very capable weapon. There are..."
Pausing, I contemplated the right words. "Well, many, many things one can do with a whip..."
I then shrugged, motioning for Alternative to stay on the lake. "Now, proceed to form the handseals of Monkey → Rat → Tiger → Dragon → Horse → Dragon," I instructed as I created a clone before him. And then by manipulating your water chakra, create a column of water shaped as a snake, with a wide and gaping mouth. Direct it at my clone, and once it swallows him, turn it into a river that can...carry him away."
