Perform the technique: I listen to Noni-senpai, absolutely stunned. The long list of handseals and the sheer power of this jutsu baffles me. I know that I have to put a lot of effot into this technique. I gather my chakra, and I channel it to every inch of my body. I start molding it into suiton chakra, and I picture a huge torrent of water appearing from the river nearby. I then imagine it taking the shape of a dragon and devouring the dummy set quite a distance away from me. I’ve summoned so much chakra that my limbs start to ache. I weave the long list of handseals, all the while preparing myself for how much chakra I’m about to expel. Finally, I finish.
“Suiton: Suiryuudan no Jutsu!!”
The water practically explodes forth from the river’s surface, and I maintain focus on it as hard as I can. I concentrate on forming the water into a large, fearsome dragon. It becomes the dragon I saw in my head, down to its scales. I turn my body toward the dummy and aim my arms at it. I thrust my hands out, sending the dragon on its way. The dragon travels at such an incredible speed that it only takes a few seconds for it to reach the dummy and drench it with water. The dummy is blown away, and the terrain around it is covered in water. I find myself panting after performing this jutsu.
Creative uses/strengths:- This jutsu can be very powerful considering the skill of the user and the rank at which this jutsu can be used. Depending on these things, a huge amount of water can be summoned, and this technique can be devastating.
- This jutsu can be used for close or long-ranged combat because of its short to long-ranged potential, so an opponent at any distance from the user would have a hard time avoiding this jutsu.
- This justu can cause even more damage if used in conjunction with a lightning or wind technique because both of those elements can greatly increase the strength of water.
Drawbacks/counters:- There are so many handseals that an opponent can quickly attack with another jutsu, taijutsu or anything before the user has even completed the handseals.
- Depending on the skill of the user compared to an opponent (i.e. if the opponent is higher ranked), the opponent could use a very powerful fire technique to stop the water because fire evaporates water. The opponent can counter with this fire technique.
- Also depending on the skill of the user compared to an opponent, the opponent could use a very powerful earth technique to stop the water because earth can block water.
________________________________________
Perform the technique: I recover from the last jutsu by taking a moment to regain my composure. Then, I move on to the next jutsu Noni-senpai has for me. I start to gather my chakra again, this time directing it specifically to my hands. I mold my chakra into suiton chakra, returning to the image of a whip I had before. Except this time, I picture multiple whips at my disposal. I take a deep breath and weave the Tiger handseal.
“Suiton: Suiryuben!”
Sure enough, I’ve conjured an orb of water before me, and I focus on dividing it up into several, thin and sharp whips. With the swing of my hand, the whips separate, and each one heads toward a dummy that’s been set up. Every single whip makes contact with a dummy and impales them.
Creative uses/strengths:- This jutsu is short to long-ranged, making it very useful at any distance during battle.
- This jutsu only has one handseal, making it very fast and easy to perform against an opponent or multiple opponents.
- A lightning or wind technique would be a good combination to make with this jutsu because each of those elements could add speed and sharpness to this jutsu.
Drawbacks/counters:- A fire technique could disperse the whips of water easily because fire overpowers water. An opponent could counter this jutsu by using said fire technique to evaporate the water.
- An earth technique could deflect the whips of water easily because earth can block water.
- Depending on the strength and durability, any armor or shield an opponent has on them or uses could deflect the whips of water because water has a hard time going through metal.

Perform the technique: I collect my chakra for the final time of this set, allowing the chakra to fill my mouth. I also reserve some chakra for my hands. Then, I begin to mold my chakra into suiton chakra. I revisit the spitting I had to do for various other techniques Noni-senpai has taught me. This time, though, I picture a large sphere of water and imagine the rotating motion it will be making. I inhale and exhale before weaving the Tiger handseal.
“Suiton: Teppoudama!”
Water instantly starts to flood in my mouth, and I prepare to aim for a dummy not to far away from me. I can feel the water swirling in my mouth before I spit it out, and the sphere comes out at a very fast speed. It spirals toward the dummy and makes a pretty big impact on it and the terrain around it. Small puddles surround the dummy as it lies in pieces.
Creative uses/strengths:- This jutsu is short to long-ranged, so it would be very useful to use at any distance during a fight.
- There’s only one handseal, and the smaller bullets a user can make will allow this jutsu to be performed even faster.
- Sending one bullet can penetrate even the strongest defenses due to its size and destructive power, and if strong enough, this larger bullet can be the finishing move.
Drawbacks/counters:- While creating one bullet will give this jutsu a bigger impact, it’s also slower to conjure, and an opponent could counter by attacking before the user is even done making the bullet.
- While creating a few, smaller bullets will give this jutsu more speed, they would also not be as powerful, so an opponent who uses a fire or earth technique could stop the bullets.
- Certain evasion tactics, such as substitutions, transportation or intangibility, can render this jutsu useless because the user won’t actually hit an opponent.
