Haha basically, yeah. The secret with Rain is that it's not just water release from the sky; it's water release from anywhere you can summon a rain cloud. I have a cloak that summons clouds at ground level, a sword surrounded by a cloud, and various other abilities that make rain in places where by all accounts, Rain should not be. So, to put it simple, Rain is water with a much more diverse set of sources and a more potentially discreet way of usage.
For example, you can make a raindrop fall from 100 meters up and sharpen it, killing your opponent immediately as it splits their head open. Water can't do that simply because it's too obvious and you require a source.

Le-sigh; well, if I'mma teach anybody, might as well be you. Here you go. Explain it's abilities and it's yours.
Raiten'nō - Ame no Omo | Thunder Emperor - Lord of Rain
Rank: S
Type: Weapon
Range: Self
Chakra Cost: N/A (40 for Gyaku Ni Ochiru)
Damage points: N/A
Description: Ame No Omo is a traditionally shaped Katana, 70 inches in length. Its only physical trait of note is its black-as-night colored blade. Despite this, however, this sword is a powerful family artifact, one which has now found its way into the hands of Azuma Uchiha, the last living member of his immediate family. Upon further use of the blade, he also discovered a few of its unique abilities.
Durability: Forged by the world's finest blacksmiths and made of steel tempered three times over in ever increasing heat, the Thunder Emperor is incredibly durable, capable of taking S-Rank damage before breaking.
Raindance: While in possession of the Katana, the user can swing it downwards it any capacity, as if gesturing for something from above. This stroke makes the area cloud up and then start to rain heavily, as if the sky had already been stormy the whole day. This ability costs a move and 15 chakra, however, it will begin to rain immediately after the user completes the phrase.
Stormking: When the sword was forged, it was made in such a way that it can be used as a superconductor for chakra used to create rain release techniques. As such, the blade is surrounded by a small hazy cloud of its own, from which thunder and the sounds of rain regularly emit. This allows the user to either call upon rain from the storm around the blade as a source or by swinging the sword to use other rain sources to cast Ameton techniques. Through using the sword as the medium in both ways, the rain techniques will be increased in power by 1 rank up to S rank and by 20 damage to S rank and above.
Gyaku Ni Ochiru: Literally meaning "falling in reverse", this ability calls upon all of the rain which has fallen upon the battlefield to be used in a single attack. The user will swing Thunder Emperor upwards, causing every raindrop that has fallen within long range of them to condense into individual, knife-like rain bullets. These bullets will then shoot upwards, shredding whatever they touch like a storm of sharp objects. This attack is equivalent to an S-Rank in terms of power, and deals 80 damage. This ability costs a move slot. This technique can only create rain knives from rain that has fallen at least five meters away from an opponent.
Notes:
- Can only be used/taught by Anbu Kirito.
- Gyaku Ni Ochiru can only be used twice, and no other Ameton techniques are allowed during the same turn. It also needs to have at least one full turn in between uses, to allow enough rain to accumulate on the ground around the user.

Okay so the next few are pretty powerful, especially with that sword.
Ameton: Kami Wa Tengoku Ni Imasu | Rain Release: God's In His Heaven
Rank: A
Type: Offensive/Defensive/Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: 60
Description: God's In His Heaven is primarily a travel-enhancing technique which allows the user to surround himself in a rapidly rotating shell of rain which he can direct through the air to achieve high-speed flight and perform evasive maneuvers. First, the user will infuse their chakra into the rain around them, causing it to converge upon their body. This rain will then quickly begin to swirl around the user's whole body, forming into an oval-shaped "shell" of sorts which rapidly rotates around the user, giving an appearance much like the Inuzuka Clan's "Tsuga" technique. The user will then manipulate the rain shell into moving in any given direction, carrying themselves through the air along with it at a rapid speed (2x the user's movement speed). This shell also provides a painful offensive option should something come into contact with the rotating rain shell, which will drill into whatever it touches. Despite its usefulness, the shell is difficult to maintain for long periods of time, and thus can only be used in singular bursts of movement for an attack or evasive maneuver up to long-range from the user.
Notes:
-Can only be used once per turn with one turn in between uses.
-Can be used four times.
Ameton: Amekireru | Rain Release: Rainburst
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: Rainburst Explosion is a technique which relies on the rain that has already landed on the ground or that is falling to create an explosive, wide area blast of rain needles. First, the user performs the Ram -> Tiger handseals, and then they infuse their chakra into the rain falling five meters around an enemy. This can only be done if the area being effected is within direct sight of the user. Then, the user will activate the chakra, causing all of the raindrops around the opponent to burst into hundreds of tiny needles directed inwards at the enemy which pierce into their body with staggering speed. The individual wounds caused are not deep, but the sheer number of rain needles causes tremendous damage. Unfortunately, this technique has a limited range and cannot be used in quick succession, as it requires that the rainfall around a person takes time to build up and regain its concentration.
Notes/Restrictions:
- Can only be used twice.
- Can be used only after a target has been covered in rainwater for at least two turns.
- Removes all the rain water from the area immediately around the opponent, thus restarting the timer on the technique.
Ameton: Ōshi | Rain Release: Horizontal Death
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: Horizontal Death is a Rain technique which, as its name might suggest, strikes from an angle that most rain techniques do not. First, the user performs three handseals. They then focus their chakra into the rain falling behind their opponent's position (five meters behind them and beyond). This causes the raindrops to stop falling in that area for a moment, then to suddenly fly towards the user from behind the opponent in a torrent parallel to the ground, hence the name, Horizontal Death. These raindrops strike with tremendous force, shredding the opponent from behind. They then stop their flight harmlessly and fall to the ground as normal rain does.
Notes:
-No Rain above A-Rank the same turn
-Can only be used twice, with two turns in between uses.
Ameton: Arashi No Taikō| Rain Release: Storm Counter
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: S
Range: Self
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A
Description: Storm Counter is a technique which uses the rain on the user's body to deflect and defend against physical attacks. When the opponent is about to strike, the user will cause the rain which has fallen on their body to move rapidly across their clothes or skin, creating a moving layer of rain above their body, which, on contact with the incoming attack, will cause it to slide off of the user harmlessly, as if carried off of the user by rapids before it could strike them. This technique, is however, unfortunately only effective against physical attacks, so blasts of "energy" (wind currents, fireballs, lightning bolts, waves of water, etc) will not be defended against by this ability, while sword strikes, taijutsu, and even some Doton techniques will be completely unable to strike the user so long as they do not exceed S-Rank in power (or A-Rank in the case of Doton).
Notes:
- Can only be used once every three turns
- Can be used three times.
- No other Rain S-Rank or higher in the same turn.

We spoke about this quite a bit in our convo. You're right when I combine these with the sword they are hella useful. One cause I wont need handseals, two because of the buff, three because of the storm around the sword. I think i'll use that cw on my dark threads bio with rain.
No questions as they are all quite clear
