I would use (Doton: Doroku Gaeshi) - Earth Style: Terra Shield
Rank: C
Type: Defence
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After striking the ground with their hands, the user creates a large wall of earth in front of him/her. The defence is not perfect though, since a hard or drilling impact can puncture the wall. Also, since this technique only guards frontal attacks, the enemy can easily attack from the side or even from above.
to raise me up above the water then counter with
(Suiton: Hyouketsu Kiri) - Water Style: Freezing Mist
Rank: A
Type: Defence/Supplementary
Chakra cost: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: A variation of the Hidden Mist jutsu, but instead of releasing normal mist, the user makes extremely cold "freezing" mist. This mist is so cold that the evaporated water of the mist changes into ice crystals. The result of this is that the mist is a lot "heavier" which makes it more difficult to just blow away. It's most effective against people who user IG for example. The cold of the mist makes the joints of the opponent slower functioning, due to his fast breath his longs start to freeze at a rapid rate (he breaths fast the cold air in) but above all the ice crystals start to attach themselves to solid objects more easier than normal water of mist. This makes the opponent loose energy and heat rapidly, which makes his movements yet again a lot slower.
The effect is the same on normal people, for instance the speed of making handseals slows down, same goes for their reflexes. Since the mist is made of the user's chakra, it does not affect him.
Slowing his handseals and distracting him as i finish with
