Yōton Vol.II v.2

[vegapunk]

Yōton Shuryuu no Jutsu (Molten Slipstream Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Youton Kekkei Touta
Range: See special!
Handseals: No
Chakra: Mid + [Mid Upkeep]
Special: Range is equal to the amount of their own lava present on the battlefield where the user can be completely submerged. The highest speed the user is allowed to move within the lava is equal to their highest known 'Fushokuzai' rank, doubled.
Description: A simple yet difficult technique to learn, this jutsu allows the user to move at a much greater speed when submerged in their own creation. After becoming one with their own lava the user is able to freely travel within their lava creation at a much faster rate, as if swimming in a jet-stream fashion. However, much control in needed as the user can only move at this speed within the confines of their own lava.
Domain: Youton. Fushokuzai 'C'; Youton: Yougan Yurushi 'C'

My only problem with this is the speed... I don't think you'll be able to increase your natural speed just by swimming in lava, since lava is in fact not as liquid as say, water.

Trying to swim through lava would be like trying to swim through mud... long story short, 20mps while swimming in lava just doesn't seem logical to me. I suppose double speed would be sufficient... but fives times the basic speed is a bit much.

EDIT: This needs Mid consumption, and should be capable of being held for a single turn, plus one more each time retrained. Yknow, Customs standards.

Didn't know whether to base it on control speed from the dominion or actual movement speed of a shinobi, so I times'd them! xD

It has a consumption upkeep so no need for retrains imo. Anyways, edited.

This technique reminds me of the technique that Kisame used to go Shark Mode when he trapped Killer Bee in the water sphere, so that he could move faster. And, I basically see this as the same. I don't know how moving in something that isn't completely liquid allows you to move so fast in the lava. Or even at least doubling it's speed, but I could see it giving you more mobility moving around in lava.

Which brings me to another point, if you had somebody tried in a body of lava and you tried swimming to them...wouldn't they just out right die in a pool of lava? I mean, there are a certain few which could survive, but I am sure most would melt before you even would reach them. Also, what about your effectiveness of using other Youton abilities when one would be submerged in lava?

I know this is just to speed you up, but other things come to mind when I think about it.

The idea is that yes, even though it is lava, the user is able to swim in it like water. It composed of their chakra and they have such advanced control over the substance as its a part of them. Thus, they can move within it at speed.

* Ahh isn't this just up to IC application? A player could use this technique however they wish too. The effects of the lava wouldn't change, so if they were in a pool of lava they would be effected by the corrosiveness of the lava no differently. Its not really related :/

Also, what about your effectiveness of using other Youton abilities when one would be submerged in lava?

Would have no extra effect, its just a travelling type technique. Do you want me to state that in the description? ^^

[Not Masakuni]

I'm a bit wary of this. Why would the user be able to move faster than the speed that they can control lava at?

*They use chakra to propel themselves through their own lava creations, like a slipstream..

[Not Masakuni]

Hmm. I'm still not convinced. I've had this fight about Yoton before; its incredibly durable and incredibly destructive; hence, it must be slow to remain a balance release. Also, just so we're clear, if you're still swimming in lava when the prerequisite lava-shielding technique expires, you'll die a horrible death. This one, on its own, offers no protection to your own lava.

[vegapunk]

I put the own lava shielding tech in the domain though?

But, its all good just archive it. I'll think of something else ^^
