Chigetsu wrote:Name: Stomach Sloshing
Rank: D
Power: N/A
Activation Cost: 3
Upkeep Cost:  1
Range: Self
Speed: User's Coordination
Element: Suiton
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Personal Hozuki Exclusive
Requirements: Hydrificiantion
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: The user uses the Hydrification Technique, but only liquefies their insides while leaving the outside of their body appearing solid. The user is able to freely manipulate their insides in this manner in a similar way that they would be able to manipulate their bodies while liquified. This includes moving their internal organs around, or even freely changing the shapes of their internal organs. One common usage is to form the user's guts and chakra pathway system into shapes similar to hands and then form hand seals that are obscured from foes.

Weaknesses: While this all happens internally and as such is not visible, the sound of the user's sloshing internals has a slight tell when it happens, similar to the sound that a rumbling upset stomach would make.

Rank: A
Power: A
Activation Cost: 10
Upkeep Cost:  N/A
Range: 15 ft. radius (Can be increased)
Speed: A
Element: Suiton
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Personal Hozuki Exclusive
Requirements: Hydrificiantion, Explosive Tag
Hand Seals: Seal of Confrontation
Description: Simply combining at least one explosive tag and the Hozuki ability of Hydrification, this technique allows the user to function as an effective suicide bomb. Traditionally the user either rushes at their target and detonates or allows the target to come into close quarters before detonating tags kept hidden under their clothing. As the user is able to turn their entire body into water they do not sustain damage and are able to re-assemble after detonation. Because explosive tags are required for and consumed as a part of this technique, it requires less chakra. Multiple explosive tags can be included in this technique to increase the range of the blast, with each increasing its radius by another 15 feet.
Weaknesses: As this results in the user exploding, a bit of time must be taken to re-assemble following the blast, which creates a period of vulnerability depending on how fast they can recollect their body. In addition, explosive tags are required to be expended for the use of this technique.

Rank: A
Power: A
Activation Cost: 20
Upkeep Cost: 10
Range: 100 meters
Speed: A
Element: Suiton
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Personal Hozuki Exclusive
Requirements: Hydrification
Hand Seals: Dog → Horse → Dog → Snake
Description: Using the Hydrification Technique, the user takes moisture from their body and spreads it around their body in a puddle that extends out three meters in every direction from where they are standing. From this puddle large bubbles, individually around the size of baseballs, can be produced. These bubbles can then directed at targets as the user wishes and launched with such speed and force that they can cause great blunt-force trauma and small explosions upon bursting. A bubble bursting creates an explosion with roughly a five-meter radius, being equivalent in power to an explosive tag. One bubble is produced each post for each point of chakra pumped into this technique, resulting in twenty on the post of activation and ten on every following post of upkeep.
Weaknesses: This technique is immediately ended should the user leave contact with the puddle at any point. In addition to this, as the liquid puddle is part of the user's own body, it creates a large area that can be targeted with Raiton techniques to electrocute the user.

Speed: N/A
Element: Suiton
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Personal Hozuki Exclusive
Requirements: Hydrification
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: This technique allows the use to alter the color and consistency of the liquid the user becomes when liquefying their body. The main use of this is to mimic the color and consistency of blood in order to fool opponents into believing that the user has been wounded or killed.
Weaknesses: Only the color and consistency of the liquid is changed. Even though this allows the user to mimic blood the liquid will lack the taste and smell of blood, and in addition to this the lack of ability to mimic bones and organs could potentially give the disguise away.

Name: Rain Skipping
Rank: E
Power: N/A
Activation Cost: 1
Range: Touch
Speed: N/A
Element: Suiton
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Personal Hozuki Exclusive
Requirements: Hydrification
Parent Technique: Water Surface Walking Practice
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: Through the redistribution of liquid, a tiny portion of the user's body is liquified and then expelled from one of their limbs. From the projection of their chakra into this liquid the moment it leaves their body in a similar method to the Water Surface Walking Practice they are able to use this liquid as a solid surface. This only lasts for a split second, but this is enough time for the user to use this temporary platform to jump off off, essentially allowing for another jump in mid-air. As the Hydrification Technique allows liquification of the user's clothing, this can even be done through shoes and gloves without problem.
Weaknesses: The platform only lasts for a single moment before giving out, and as such this technique requires good reflexes to use effectively.

Increase the Rank and Power of this to D rank. Increase the Cost to 3. If you want, this is optional given the nature of this technique, you can give this technique C rank Speed as it gives accurate speed of how quick this platform manifests.

Speed: N/A
Element: Suiton
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: N/A
Parent Technique:
Hand Seals: Dog  → Horse → Rat
Description: By creating a clear layer of liquid over the user’s eyes, the user may create a pair of focusing lenses similar to eyeglasses. This allows for a greater clarity of vision, and through this greater focus the user receives +1 tier of perception, but exclusively for sight related purposes.
Weaknesses: As this technique only affects the user’s sight, no other sense they have benefited from the perception bonus. As a result, this technique is no help against opponents who attack in ways that aren’t visible, such as through genjutsu.

Name: Water Release: Happy Rainbow
Rank: B-Rank
Power: N/A
Activation Cost: 10
Upkeep Cost: 5
Range: Sight
Speed: N/A
Element: Suiton
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Personal Hozuki Exclusive
Requirements: Hydrification
Parent Technique: Sea Opossum Technique
Hand Seals: Dog → Horse → Dog → Snake → Boar → Snake
Description: Using the same principle as the Sea Opossum Technique, the user of this technique uses their natural Hydrification Ability to liquify their body while using minor fluctuations of chakra to change the color of the produced liquid. The exact manner that this manifests is up to the user, but generally it involves their body, clothing, and hair rapidly changing different colors. This can be along the lines of a shimmering puddle of oil, subtly shifting through the rainbow, in the form of a rapidly changing lava lamp, or as subtle or unsubtle as the user wishes. While not exactly useful as camouflage, instead this is supposed to be used as one half of a combination technique with a genjutsu. When cast concurrently with a partner who is in physical contact with the user and using a genjutsu, the shifting colors created by this technique can replace the trigger of the genjutsu, causing the genjutsu to affect anyone who can see the user’s rapidly color shifting body. This MUST be used with a partner in this manner, and cannot be used to amplify the user’s own genjutsu. When genjutsu are cast through this technique as a medium, those who are affected by them suffer -1 Tier and two disadvantages (--) to Perception for the purpose of noticing they’ve been affected by genjutsu, and are forced into using their Perception rather than Intelligence to notice they’re in a genjutsu.
Weaknesses: This technique requires a partner who is in physical contact with them and is capable of casting genjutsu to even be used, and as such is difficult to pull off. In addition to this, this technique requires that opponents can see the user (at least when the genjutsu is initially cast, direct vision does not have to be maintained after the initial trigger) to take effect, and as it involves bright colors shifting through the user’s body, anyone who can see the user gains +1 Tier of Perception specifically towards seeing the user’s actions when this technique is in use. Due to the delicate balance of chakra that is being spread throughout the user's body during the application of this technique it becomes nearly impossible to use new suiton chakra to create water within their own body, and as such they are limited to only using suiton techniques that require a preexisting source of water (and they cannot use their own body as this preexisting source of water).

Speed: N/A
Element: Suiton
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Personal Hozuki Exclusive
Requirements: Hydrification
Hand Seals: Dog
Description: Through the liquefaction of the user’s lungs, a Hozuki may allow themselves to breath underwater potentially indefinitely. This works well with their ability to liquefy their entire body, and allows for long term operations under water.
Weaknesses: This technique allows the user to breath underwater, but consequently stops them from breathing when not in water. While above water with this technique the user will begin to suffocate and suffer minus one rank in Intelligence, as the lack of oxygen begins to slow their brain functions. If above not in water for a period of time equal to 2 posts for each rank of constitution the user has, they will fall unconscious due to asphyxiation.

Chigetsu wrote:Name: Drowning Gelatin Blob Technique
Rank: A
Power: A
Activation Cost: 20
Upkeep Cost: N/A
Range: 3 meters
Speed: User's Coordination
Element: Suiton
Skill: Ninjutsu
Classification: Personal Hozuki Exclusive
Requirements: Hydrification
Parent Technique: Drowning Water Blob Technique
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: Works exactly as the Drowning Water Blob Technique does, with the user using shape manipulation to simply reach out and grab an opponent in a blob of water to drown them. The difference here is that rather than straight water a large portion of collagen is shifted from the user's joints into the arm using this technique to turn it into a thick, mucus-like gelatin substance. In order to break out of this technique once captured it must be overpowered with at least A-Rank strength, otherwise those captured will be unable to escape. The same amount of time is required to drown targets as would with the Drowning Water Blob Technique. Because this is just shape manipulation, just like the parent technique it simply requires the activation cost in order to toggle it on, and needs no upkeep.

Weakness: While the target may be unable to escape, that doesn't mean they will be rooted in place. If their strength is higher than the user's they will be perfectly capable of dragging and throwing the user of this technique around as long as the gelatin-goo is attached to them.

Name: Breath of Water Style
Rank: S
Power: S
Activation Cost: N/A
Upkeep Cost: 20
Range: Self
Speed: N/A
Element: Suiton
Skill: Kenjutsu
Classification: Secret
Requirements: Hydrification Technique
Parent Technique: Suiton Chakra Flow, Kendo
Hand Seals: N/A
Description: By manipulating the amount of oxygen in one’s blood through controlling their breathing pattern the user of the Breath of Water style can greatly increase their reflexes, agility, and strength until they all become monstrous. While an evolution of the basic swordsmanship style of Kendo, the Breath of Water style is incredibly adaptable and flexible.  

Taking advantage of the Hozuki’s Hydrification, movements in this style are designed to be adaptive to sudden and expected changes in physiology. It is not uncommon to see the partial liquefaction of bones and muscles to allow portions of limbs with no joints to bend at ninety degree angles, or the circulation of liquid in one’s foot to provide forward momentum without moving the legs, or holes in the user’s body to suddenly open up as to allow attacks to pass through. This allows for attacks and movements to be made that would be totally incompatible with the biology of any other human.

This style, due to its focus on fluid but inhuman movements, debuffs the Perception of anyone attempting to track the user by -1 Tier.

The fluidity of its movements allows the user to apply a +1 Tier buff to either their Speed or Coordination. The user may sacrifice one aspect for another and reverse which stat the boost applies to in a similar manner to Konoha’s Strong Fist style, but this may only be done once per post.

The Breath of Water style and all techniques designed to be used under it may be undercast in a similar way to Taijutsu styles and techniques. For example, if the user only wished to gain a +1 Tier buff to their Speed through this technique they may ‘pull their punches’, and as a result only need to pay the equivalent amount of chakra as that boost would normally require.

A great deal of water is generally produced through the use of techniques of this style, although in all cases this is an optional feature and may be turned off if the user would consider it disadvantageous.

Description: Clams have no eyes, ears, or noses, and thus they cannot see, hear, or smell. This makes communication with them difficult. This technique, through physical contact with clams, allows a form of communication through minute vibrations. This only works if the clam is already intelligent, and thus typically only on clam summons of the Hozuki Clan. Having this technique is enough to understand the clams without spending any chakra, and thus chakra is only needed to be spent when speaking to the clams rather than when receiving information.
