Suika no Jutsu (Hydration Technique)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Special Bloodline Technique / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: Mid
Special: As Hozuki deplete in Chakra and Stamina, they lose their ability to control their liquefaction and thus begin reverting to a puddle-like state. Jelly puddle moves slow on land, half the user's normal movement speed, but fast under water, twice the user's movement speed. When first learned, the Hozuki is protected from physical attacks through auto-liquefaction, and can sustain their jelly form without achieving contact with any form of water for up to one turn, plus one more each rank above 'D' is earned. Once the Hozuki reaches water, their jelly timer is reset; if not, they are forced to revert to their humanoid state and suffer double-chakra drain as a result of to the forced transformation. All Hozuki are susceptible to Raiton and Hyouton, to the point jutsu used on Hozuki from these are raised by a single rank damage-wise, and when struck, they are unable to liquefy properly - however, they can neutralize Katon and Youton with attacks of equal rank.
Description: The core technique behind the bloodlimit and the door to stronger, more powerful attacks, this jutsu allows the Hozuki to totally transform their body into a condensed state of water, so dense that the user can withstand even the roughest of physical attacks, yet so malleable that on a whim, they can also decompose into mere puddles. From a single hair to the skin and muscles, everything can be liquefied and solidified, be it to evade an enemy's attack during a short range battle, to infiltrate a structure, or to launch a surprise attack from a liquefied state Maintaining this form requires that the clan member keep themseves constantly hydrated, but in this form the can also draw upon and control nearby water by immersing and merging amongst the liquid. And best of all - by liquefying their whole body at will, it makes it impossible for the Hozuki to receive damage from physical attacks. Automatic liquefaction occurs instantly whenever struck by non-elemental physical attacks, allowing the Hozuki to reform their body as water around the attack until danger is clear. When the user passes out, they turn into a jelly-like, dormant state until consciousness is regained.
Domain: Hozuki.

Gisan-Hisan (Acid War)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Offensive / Special Bloodline Technique / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: Mid
Special: Degree and damage of poison acid depends on highest rank known. Corrosion time depends on the user's highest 'Hydration Technique' rank known - 'D' rank Hydration starts with 5 turns of required exposure for full corrion, and each rank higher brings the time down by one turn. Corrosive strength depends on rank:

D ~ Skin
C ~ Earth & Elements
B ~ Wood
A ~ Rock
S ~ Steel

Description: Once the Hozuki begin to understand their blood and how to control it, they learn to combine their ninjutsu powers in order to give their 'jelly' special properties. In this case, the Hozuki's very essence transforms into an acidic poison, corrosive on contact and highly invasive upon sensing foreign bodies. The best part about it all is that the Hozuki's color does not change one bit, giving no indication that they are wielding cursed waters. When combined with other clan techniques, this essence alteration can be highly effective for combat.
Domain: Hozuki. 'Ultimate Hydration'.



Toro-Toro no Jutsu (Sticky Jelly Technique)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Special Bloodline Technique / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: Low
Special: Strength of absorbed attack depends on the Hozuki's highest 'Hydration' rank. Up to one blow can be absorbed per thread, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: As the Hozuki further their understanding of the control over their liquid essences, their skill in altering their density composition enhances. In this case, rather than simply breaking up into a puddle of water when being struck, the Hozuki learns to absorb the blow, increasing their watter pressure so that the weapon or limb is stuck within. To the opponent, it'll feel as if they had buried their weapon/hand in sloppy mud. By reforming around the impact point, they are able to trick their opponent into coming in for an obvious attack. From this point, they can finish their opponent off, or capture them for later use.
Domain: Hozuki. ‘D’ ranked Hydration.

Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Defensive / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Water barrier blocks attacks of equal rank.
Description: Suijinheki is one of the most impressive Suiton jutsu, and one of the few actually able to defend the user indefinitely from danger.

This stream moves at high speeds, and after five meters or so from the user, begins to form itself to a size equal and greater to that of the incoming attack, allowing it to act as a water barrier.
Domain: Suiton.

Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Special: Switch is near-instantaneous. When first learned, Kawarimi can only be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained. Can only be used once per turn, regardless of retraining.. Requires the user to switch with objects equal or smaller in size; cannot switch with other living people or animals.
Description: This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log), an animal, or even another person within reach, the moment an attack hits. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. The user can then use this confusion to escape or launch a counter-attack - i.e. exploding tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise.
