Was it meant to be a hint? The last phrase of the compliment regarding the whips; maybe he was hinting something to me. He knew I was into sadism, maybe he was the opposite, the masochist type? Only time would tell...
I proceeded to staying near the lake, I felt sluggish from all the chakra I was exhausting, I plomped myself onto the ground, placing my feet together like I were at home, just relaxing and about to pour myself a cup of sake. I really didn't feel like getting up, and it's not like I would need to have a proper stance or the jutsu wouldn't work. Surely people can invoke jutsu by casually sitting there, so long as they're still doing everything right, right?
"Sorry, Kiritsugu-sensei. I'm not gonna go all out for this technique." I said with a rather calm tone to myself, like I was out of it. The effort I'd been putting into my techniques lately, I could deserve a bit of rest and relaxation.

And just like that, I was in a half-assed mood to do anything, but the technique needed to be done apparently, so of course I go about doing it. I channel my water chakra while facing the clone within me, allowing it to flow and circulate and so forth. Performing the hand seals is a cinch, it takes no effort apart from some minor intricate movements which require me being slightly uncomfortable, but the rest is pretty easy. I finish on the Dragon seal, which allows me to create a large pillar of water, erecting itself from the ground. I begin with just forming the pillar, rising to about 5 meters, towering myself in my seated position. Forming the pillar next comes the other features, the opening of the snakes mouth, the beady eyes which it has and so on, it's not so important as the attack of the jutsu. Using the snake as a medium for digging into the clone, I launch this pillar of water towards the clone,opening the snake's mouth wider as the clone delves deeper into it's stomach. If it were a real snake, he'd be dead by now, so be thankful it's not. The snake engulfs the clone, digging into the ground causing it to make what would seem to be a trench of dirt dug out so someone could hide in it. The clone's unconcious body can be found within the gelatinous body of the snake. I release my chakra holding the snake in position, allowing it to subside into the trench formed by the water, just letting it sit there like a small river bed. The clone also lays within the newly created river, like it had just been sent off to the next world.

I shrugged, watching Alternative rest in a crossed-leg manner upon the ground, his eyes closed, as if he was trying to meditate upon his actions.
"Sorry, Kiritsugu-sensei," he said after a moment. "I'm not gonna go all out for this technique."
Indifferent, I nodded. It was quite apparent that he had already put in quite the effort for most of what we had learned so far...much, much more effort than many others I have taught in the past.

For awhile, he remained in his meditative manner, then he opened his eyes to focus upon the current position of my clone. From his seated position, he performed the jutsu was absolute accuracy, and I found myself gazing into the skies once more as the snake consumed the clone much like a midnight snack.
I turned away from his performance as the water began flowing away, nodding my approval once more.
"So, you as you saw, there are clearly two parts to this move," I emphasized. "The first, the consuming of my clone, the second, the carrying of him away. In battle, it works the same way."
Shrugging, I pointed a single hand towards the lake. "Back to home," I said. "Lay your hand upon the lake, and summon three huge sharks that strike my clone any way you wish."
I created a single clone that stood near the coast of the lake, however, just standing close enough into the middle of the lake for the jutsu to take full effect.

[Alternative]

The explanation about the devouring snake at it's prey was quite interesting if I must say so myself, but I didn't know why he explained it... for aesthetics? He had explained it once before, so further explanation wasn't exactly needed.
A solid finger was pointed at the lake, gesturing me to take me spot back on the wretched water. I got up from my seated position, striding myself slowly onto the water, making sure not to fall into it. Standing pretty much on the end of where the water meets the land, I turn myself around, focusing on the clone's whereabouts and forming these sharks. I focus my chakra into the water quickly, which doesn't take long due to me channeling water chakra all the time, and kneel to the ground slamming my hand on the water before me. Small ripples of the water can be seen, preventing the mirror-like effect I see with my reflection. All of a sudden, three large sharks appear from behind me instantly as I slam my hand on the water. The sharks look just like the one which would come out of a Water Shark Bomb technique, it's menacing jaws, blueish hue to it's glowing body, opening it's mouth as it approaches the clone. The sharks come out with two at each of my sides, and one arching over me. I control these sharks to perform their arching motions around me, simutaneously crashing into the clone causing a large explosion of water on impact, which should knock the clone back somewhat.

 

[Adachi]

BAM!
The water exploded as three sharks flew out of it gracefully from behind Alternative, each in different directions, preventing escape and causing a tidal wave as they struck my clone.
Boom, baby!
I couldn't help but clap at the marvelous performance. As to be expected, no less.
"Stay on there!" I called as I reached into my pocket, tossing out a light doll in the shape of Sasagawa Ryohei (the manga seemed to be appearing in stores around me, and was quite intriguing as well) which I aimed towards the surface of the water, a few meters before Alternative.
"Okay," I called. "Proceed to release a wave of water at that doll and then shape it into a prison, much like the one you created earlier. However, there is no need to keep a hand within it!"

Why do you make me do these things? At least make it someone no one likes, maybe Yosuke or something. >_<
--

As pertained in tne instructions, I stayed put right where I was on the riverbed. Remaining there, the man before me reached into his pocket, revealing a strange looking doll. Masculine in body definition and size, head glowing with a silver tinge, the figure itself seemed to be pretty extreme if I say so myself. What did he want me to do to the poor figure?
I stayed in my tertiary position, controlling the water below myself to start making small waves before me, like it were a simple chakra control of water based techniques - child's play really. I make these waves grow larger over time, also thinning them out for the technique needed, so I'm still using the same amount of water for the technique or something idk. As the sexy doll approaches my person, I raise this wave of water from the lake below me, thinning it so that it would become near transparent. I formulate this wave of water to thinly veil the doll being sent in my direction. The veil covers the doll in a spherical way, circulating it's own mass around the doll, trapping it. After it forms completely, it would be hard for anyone inside the prison to breathe, let alone escape. Good thing he wasn't real.

 

[Adachi]

How about Bel? =DD Little...ewwweey gay prince.
---
The doll looked quite stunned in its little pool of water. Well, at least, that was the impression it had on me when I bought the little toy. It had the most...well, one might say, wild of expressions and of course, the odd silver hair as well. I shrugged.
Clapping, I called out to Alternative. "Good, good!" I said. "Now, notice the poor little thing in the water! Any normal human would have drowned by now. But, of course, you can always sizzle and fry them as well for fresh meat! Lightning with Water works very well, and you also add a bit of Earth to this to prevent escape from all sides."
Shrugging, I turned away. "Well, you can keep that thing. To be honest, I can't remember where I got it from..." I rubbed the back of my neck in a confused manner, shrugging.
"Anyways, let's move on to clones now."
Forming the Tiger handseal, I created a single clone mid range from Alternative's position. "Simple technique. Start with the handseals of Dragon → Tiger → Rabbit, and then release a big jet of water from your mouth at my clone."

This was starting to get tedious. Use lightning with water! They said, it was really starting to get a bit annoying. It was one of the most obvious traits of water techniques - to combine them with electricity, it wasn't something creative, just something everyone knew, like the transparency of glass.
I picked up the little toy, trying to hide my inner fangirl from squeeing over it like it was the greatest thing ever (which mind you, it was). I shrugged and slipped it into my pocket, which I'll probably place into a trophy case later.

I knew this was a simple technique I had to perform, if it were complex, I'm sure sensei would have used a much more elaborate way of explaining it, maybe with a diagram, an example, a live action musical or something... I stared down the clone, quickly wisping together the hand seals needed for the technique - three simple seals ending on Rabbit. Holding that seal together like some ****** Uchiha would using a specific fire technique, I inhale with a large amount of air, finally blowing out a large jet of water at an incredibly fast pace, shooting it at the clone. Like the continuous stream it is, it continues to flow and push at the clone, which it would need to defend against. Just for fun though, I take a kunai quickly, throwing it into the jet of water which travels along it's watery path to pierce it in the heart or something.

 

[Adachi]

Yukari sucks.
---
Ah, that same nonchalant look. And that perfectly executed move, with just the slightest bit of...how might I put this...pretentiousness in his move. Well, there was nothing more about this jutsu that I could teach him. It was what it was.
A kunai clattered on the ground as the water dispersed, leaving an empty spot where my clone once stood. "If you thought we've been through flashy moves," I informed Alternative. "This next one will be even better." With a single hand, I gestured at the river before him, a dear companion that had guided us through much of our learning already. "Simply send your water chakra about...say, ten meters above the surface of that water. Allow it to collect so it forms a massive wave of water that crashes onto the lake. Of course, given the mass and the speed that it's falling, any normal human would be crushed."

I focus water chakra above myself to the point that it's raised roughly ten meters above the already existing body of water. In doing so, I start to materialize existant water out of the chakra high up in the sky. When I feel ready, I release my hold on the water, allowing myself to summon the water from high in the sky, and allow for it to crash into the river I held it above. It would create a giant splash like someone were performing a belly flop in a pool, and I'm sure it would crush anyone underneath there just due to the height of the water being thrown, and the amount I'm summoning for the technique.

I have a question though, does it have to be directly summoned above the target? I believe in the anime when this was used, the technique was summoned near the user, and used more like a rushing current than just throwing water on someone.

 

[Adachi]

You can summon it anywhere, logically speaking.

Note: The water needs to be summoned at least 10 meters above the opponent to have any real effect.

Now, proceed to jump into the lake, but then utilize your water chakra throughout your body in such a way so that you can't be detected.

 

[Alternative]

I know, it's just the anime showed it being used more as rushing water through the target, not dropping it on top of them.

But anyway...

I stand on the river and attempt to feel it, be one with the river. I then start to utilize my water chakra so that it breaks my body down to a molecular level, and basically convert my entire body to this water mass and become indistinguishable. In doing so, I become one with the water below me so my chakra mixes in with it, making it incredibly difficult to detect me.

 

[Adachi]

Keep in mind you can always create a water source and escape into it with this jutsu.

Okay, for this next one, perform the Snake handseal and then build up Water chakra in your chest.
Release all of it at once towards the ground and tell me what happens.

 

[Alternative]

I'll keep that in mind. :3

After performing the Snake seal, I build up my water chakra in me in order to release it. When ready, I release it upon the ground, spilling a massive amount of water onto the ground. When I do this action, it lifts me up into the air due to the sheer amount being released and lets me stand on it, allowing me to use it as a water source. Additionally, the water envelops into a large wave which I can ride on, and crash down on targets. I can also blend into it using the previous technique learnt.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent! I like to use it as escape as well.

So, proceed to step onto the lake and then place your hand upon it, summoning up five sharks that come up and bite my clone to destroy him in any way you wish.

 

[Alternative]

I step onto the lake before me, focusing my chakra naturally so I don't fall through. I then place my hand on the water, with my fingertips all touching the substance and getting wet. By manipulating my water chakra and the water below me, I cause five sharks to emerge from my fingers and swim towards the clone just sitting there, and maul it to death or until it poofs whatever.

While being in a water source, these sharks can regenerate from surrounding water, making them difficult to destroy. However, if the user severe his connection with the water, the sharks will disperse.
Note: Requires water source to use.

Now, proceed to first form the Dog handseal and then send your Water chakra into the sky to create a huge storm cloud that rains heavily upon the ground that easily gather to form a huge wave of Water that carries my clone away.
In the process, it also drains his chakra within the Water. Tell me the effects of this.

 

[Alternative]

I start off with the Dog seal, manifesting my chakra into the sky and converting it into a large storm cloud. Like most storm clouds, it starts to pour with heavy rain almost instantly. The rain is so thick and heavy in terms of the amount being rained that it forms a giant wave, like a flooded dam using my chakra and washing the clone away in the storm. The properties of the water also give the ability to drain it's chakra away from him.

Well the ability of this is primarily to sweep someone off their feet with your good looks and charm or something, so in doing so you can effectively counter earth jutsu which require contact with the ground. The draining of the chakra would mean that it's harder to use jutsu which either take time or are consistent like some sort of <insert element> armor technique. There wasn't much in regards to how the chakra drain works, so I'm not too familiar with it though it doesn't seem like it replenishes your own. Also this technique would be amazing against shadow clones, especially since you're draining their chakra and that's already been equally shared with the clones themselves.

 

[Adachi]

To be honest, rarely see anyone use this.

Chakra draining properties last for two turns.

Alright, proceed to take this blade and then jump into the air, aiming it point down towards the ground as you drill it into the earth as you release Water chakra all around you much like a huge pillar of water...

 

[Alternative]

I take a sword, and jump like Link would when finishing off an enemy, drilling it into the ground. Focusing my water chakra around me, I force water to rise all around me like it was a pillar of water surrounding me.

Yeah I suck with this explanation stuff. I guess this is like Water Tornado but on myself and repels enemies instead of on someone else so it has it's uses. Now if only I regularly used a sword...
