(Ame Ame Tama) - Raining Rain Bullets
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user does the necessary handseals and focuses chakra into the rain, the rain draws together and forms several bullets of rain. The "bullets" fall at an accelerated rate and feel like large rocks falling from the sky.
So basically, you would perform some hand seals (3-5) and release chakra into a existing rain shower. The user will take sudden control and will the rain to draw together, and form many bullet shaped rain. So think of really large rain bullets, the rain will then continue to fall at a higher speed, and begin to bombard the opponent, impaling them. There is some slowness to the technique, since they most draw together and form, which is best to figure out a counter, such as an omni-directional technique. Like many other rain techs, they fall rather fast and in a projectile form.
(Toku no Ame) - Shield of Rain
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: User performs the necessary handseals and places their hands out in front of them. Using chakra they gather up a large amount of rain and create a wall of solid water. The water is dense and difficult to move through, thus protecting the user from most taijutsu attack and fire attacks. Earth based jutsu and Lighting jutsu are highly effective against this technique. The user must keep his hands connected into the wall at all times or the wall will return to its normal state. If struck by electricity it will move through the water and strike the user as well.
A larger description, but its basis is very simple. It is essentially a shield made of water, by halting, and manipulating the already existing rain, and to formulate a shield. The shield is best used against most taijutsu and some fire techniques. The worse idea possible is to use it against earth or lightning, for obvious reason. The wall can cover the body of the opponent on the front, and that is it, you will still be open on the sides and back. Other then that, it is mainly a defensive based technique, you would need to keep your hands on the shield and concentrate to continue the technique, failure to do so, means it will turn back to a puddle of water.
Ooki Kouu no Jutsu) - Big Rain Skill
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: By sending subtle chakra waves into the clouds, the user is able to create unusually large nuclei for the water droplets to condense on. The end result is big raindrops that fall to the ground at a faster then normal rate. They aren't big or fast enough to cause any real damage, but they are quite distracting.
A really basic technique. Sending your chakra to a rain cloud, the user will release a large, condensed rain drop. The rain drop will fall to the ground at a faster rate then normal, and its mainly used to distract the opponent. So supplementary uses, countering it is almost too easy. However, adding some lightning to that water won't hurt, and as it is used as a distraction, you can attack the opponent with another technique, due to its projectile manner.
