Learning the Sniper's Secrets

[Mathias]

Yep, now i get to teach you a little something. ^^ First follow me onto this lake over here.. While standing on the lake you will need to emit more chakra from the bottom of your feet so they don't even touch the water. Once you've done that just emit streams of chakra from the back and sides of your feet to act as a propellant. Once you are mobile, skate your way back onto land and make sure your feet aren't touching the ground to prevent any resistance that could slow you down.

*moonwalks onto the lake*

Sugggoiiiii!

I quickly start walking across the lake while releasing more chakra from the bottom of my feet than I would originally need. I then shape manipulate the chakra into steady streams of pure chakra that rise me above the ground a few inches so I hover. After accomplishing that phase, I start running while releasing streams from the sides of my feet and zig-zag my way over towards Ushiro.

So what's the maximum ability of this technique? How fast can I travel? Can I use it to hold myself in mid fall? Would it cushion a fall? etc.

Let's see...say you are doing rapid skating movements while using the streams to move in a strait line. After about 5 seconds you will be able to surpass your average sprinting speed but then attempting to turn a corner will become more difficult as you would have to slow down to do so. You will be able to control your movement in midair somewhat but the most you would be able to do is slow your decent a bit and land in a different spot nearby. Cushioning a fall is possible if the streams are aimed down but not if you are moving fast strait down.

Understood, and can the streams be used without actually moving my legs? Lets say.. glide to one of my sides without moving a muscle in my legs..

Yes. There is a speed specification about that near the end of the description.

(Himitsu Kassō Hōhō) - Secret Gliding Method
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short
Chakra: 15 (+5 each turn active)
Damage: N/A
Description: This jutsu gets its basis from the technique a shinobi uses to walk across the surface of water. To perform it the user must emit a constant stream of chakra from the bottom of his feet which will make him hover just above the surface of the ground. The user then proceeds to emit stronger chakra streams from any side of his feet to act as a propellant and allow the user to seemingly skate across the ground. This can be done without moving but the user can gain speed faster by moving his body in a similar fashion to an ice skater. While on a level surface, the user can reach sprinting speed in 8 seconds if only propelled by chakra. Of course, this technique works on water as well.
-Lasts up to 5 turns

It had a number of turns it could stay active for right? And its safe to assume I can use other ninjutsu while this is active?

 

[Ushiro]

It must have been cut off somehow. I'll edit it in a minute. And yes, there should be no problem with that. ^^

Cool ^_^ so would you like to learn a similar water variation of your technique? Its more or a less a defensive counter against close quarters if you are caught off guard with your bow and arrow in hand.

Sure, water jutsu is one of my specialties you know. ^_^

I want you to focus on your water chakra and release it out of your feet as you then manipulate the moister in the air around the sole's of your feet. You will then cause water to materialize like you would any other water technique. You will then maintain control of that minor water source under your feet to move around very random and fluidly.

Mathias suddenly starts releasing a barrage of kunais towards you.

Dodge them!

(Suiton: Ryuutai Suteppu) - Water Style: Fluid Step
Rank: A
Type: Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Ryuutai Suteppu is a very simple taijutsu technique with the enhancement of water. When being attacked in close range, the user will focus his chakra in the moisture of the air and materialize water beneath his feet. He will then use that water to slide back and forth in the ground as if he were standing on ice. However un-like ice, the user has complete control over his fluid movements. Can be used quite effectively to boost the randomness of movement when using Drunken Style. This technique will last for two turns, but the user will be restricted in only using regular ninjutsu, water, taijutsu, genjutsu, and kenjutsu, no other elemental affinities.

Note: Can be used twice
Note: Must have mastered Taijutsu
Note: Must wait two turns to use again.
Note: Must be taught by Mathias

 

[Ushiro]

Just noticed i can't even use it since i haven't mastered taijutsu. xd

*dodges the kunais with effortless movements as i glide in a ziz-zag pattern backwards*
