Hozuki

Ultimate Hydration Technique (Suika no Jutsu)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S [625]
Type: Supplementary / Clan Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: No.
Chakra: D-C: Low, B-A: Mid, S: High
Special: Initial liquefaction lasts a single turn by default, plus one more for each rank above 'D' obtained. All Hozuki are impervious to non-elemental physical strikes, but are susceptible to Raiton and Hyouton - lightning attacks placed on them are raised by a three full ranks, and when struck by it, they are unable to liquefy properly. Finally, ice jutsu have thrice the freezing capabilities when coming in contact with the Hozuki. Ranks 'D' and 'C' represent the ability to liquefy one and two limbs at a time respectively (be it arms or legs); 'B' rank represents torso; 'A' rank represents head liquidation; 'S' rank allows the user to liquefy all together any time they want. Finally, Hozuki are made of water, so they can use themselves as a base for all suiton based jutsu. Hydration rank also determines rank/level of suiton the Hozuki can birth from their body.
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. Within their body is a "nucleus" of vital and major organs, from the heart to the intestines. 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. When the user passes out, they turn into a jelly-like, dormant state until consciousness is regained.
Domain: Hozuki.

Activated Osmosis
Rank: D (25)
Type: Blood Line
Chakra: Very Low - Very High
Handseals: Yes.
Range: Personal
Special/Description: According to the user's highest hydration rank the user can selectively cause materials caught within their body such as poisons to be rejected by means of osmosis simply onto the ground. D rank hydration rejects D rank poison and so on to S rank. Chakra cost scales proportionately with more potent poison. An S rank poison requires roughly an S rank chakra.
Domain: Blood Line - Hozuki

Kyūryū: Suika no Jutsu (Torrent Water Transformation Jutsu)
Rank: C (50)
Type: Passive
Range: --
Handseals: No.
Chakra: --
Special: While this costs nothing, the Hozuki must still pay equal to their hydration rank known for liqeufying.
Description: Allows the Hozuki to quickly and constantly reform and break up into water to used both offensively and strategically. Used correctly the Hozuki change into a burst of water, unleash attacks utilizing their own jelly properties, or to better position themselves at the flank of behind enemies as well as use the water to knock back opponents. Based of hit and run tactics this is a good way to constantly dominate taijutsu oriented players as well as keep them off guard.
Domain: Hozuki; Kirigakure Exclusive.

Suberasu (Walk of Water)
Rank: C (50)
Type: Supplementary / Clan Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Mid to cast; Low to sustain
Special: Doubles user’s maximum movement speed. Though supplementary, ‘activating’ it will always use the default ‘C’ ranked chakra. When sliding over water, chakra cost for the slide is reduced nil.
Description: One of the Hozuki’s greatest advantages comes from their very essence, their viscous jelly substance able to instantly provide the user with a limited yet versatile source of suiton. In this case, the user is able to mold chakra on the same path that’s used to keep their appendages in place, allowing an extra amount of chakra to constantly cover their feet. This chakra allows the user to essentially slide or ‘surf’ across the ground at steady speeds for as long as the user’s chakra network can sustain. Because the water provided comes from the user's jelly, they can ride on any form of surface inclined or flat, as long as they have the chakra and said areas do not pose threats to the Hozuki's life - i.e. fire, thunder, etc. A telltale glassy streak is left behind, a smear of jelly revealing the traveling Hozuki’s next destination.
Domain: Hozuki. ‘C’ ranked Hydration.

Gousuiwan no Jutsu (Strong Water Arm Technique)
Rank: B (100)
Type: Offensive / Clan Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Mid
Special: On top of the technique's base rank damage, the boost adds additional damage equal to the Hozuki's highest 'Hydration' rank. Must learn for each limb. Pump-up lasts as long as the Hozuki's 'Liquefaction' limit.
Description: Using their ability to transform their body into water, the Hozuki will reform their limbs, be it arms or legs, into a more muscular form. The muscles of the arm are temporarily enlarged and strengthened by the moisture gathered from the whole body, and as it is compressed into the entire arm, it provides boosts equivalent to an instant pump-up. This stronger limb allows the clan member to deliver more powerful blows with either a weapon or taijutsu in conjunction with the boosted limb. However, because it is essential to properly control the moisture balance inside the body, this technique's degree of difficulty is very high. The trade off for such difficulty? The technique gives the user superhuman strength, capable of cutting through both rock walls and steel doors.
Domain: Hozuki. ‘B’ ranked Hydration.

Suiton

C: 20 meters / 4 mps
B: 30 meters / 6 mps
A: 40 meters / 8 mps
S: 50 meters / 10 mps

Description: Suiton, the often mystic ability to control water at one's will. Though one cannot create their own amount of water, they can control any previously formed body of it, bending the source at their will and making it highly malleable. From prison type techniques to simple overwhelming the user with an abundance of waves, Suiton is truly a release to be feared once mastered.
Domain: Suiton.

Suijinheki (Water Encampment Wall)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S [625]
Type: Defensive / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Very Low - Very High [per use!]
Special: Water barrier blocks a single attack of equal or lower rank before needing to be recast. Water stream range is equal to their 'Suiton Ryuuken' range, meaning the user can delay when the shield is actually produced. Finally, the wall is 1/5th the size of the user's 'Suiton Ryuuken' distance. It can take the form of a perfect wall, circle, rectangle, or any other geometric shape that fits its size appropriately.
Description: Suijinheki is one of the most impressive Suiton jutsu, and one of the few actually able to defend the user indefinitely from danger. The user will first do a string of hand seals, length varying by rank, and then control nearby water in order to come to their aid in the form of many streams leading from their source to the user's danger area. These streams move at high speeds, and after five meters or so from the user, begin to form themselves into a size equal and greater to that of the incoming attack, allowing it to act as a water barrier.
Domain: Suiton. Suiton Ryuuken.

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone Techqniue)
Rank: C-C-C-C-C-C [300]
Type: Supplementary / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Mid
Special: Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained, for a maximum of five (5). As elemental clones, they cannot exist outside the user's 'Suiton Ryuuken' range in terms of distance away from their creator, and as such, can never exit the thread they were made in nor travel unless by their creator's side. Due to their watery nature, water clones can absorb attacks one rank lower than their maximum 'Suiton Ryuuken' rank mainly by altering the density of their water; any attack above that will instantly burst them. When defeated, clone explodes in a mist of water. Finally, because they are mentally linked their creator, water clones can cast any known general Suiton jutsu one rank less than the highest rank known in 'Suiton Ryuuken', but whatever attacks they perform will draw still from the user's chakra pool.
Description: With this technique, the Suiton user is able to call upon aid from a perfect copy of themselves. Comprised purely of water, this clone retains the user movement speed and strength. Best of all, due to its flowing essence, the water clone is capable of using a hefty amount of the original user's suiton-based techniques either for defensive means or offensive.
Domain: Suiton. Suiton Ryuuken 'C'.

Mizu no Muchi (Whip of Water)
Rank: C [50]
Type: Offensive / Suiton Ninjutsu

Special: Whip is formed around the user's desired appendage, and is delivered with a simple flick of the wrist due to its weightless nature. Range of whip is equal to 1/5th the user's maximum 'Suiton Ryuuken' range; speed of whip delivery is equal to the 'Water Dominion' control speed. If the user possesses the Raiton release, they can send a current through the whip with a simple thought, equal in rank and chakra cost to their maximum 'Karai Shin' rank, able to shock, stun and paralyze opponent’s should they be caught/ensnared by the whip. If a single 'C' ranked snare of the whip is worth 'Mid' chakra to cast, then those caught by it will have to pay the same chakra around in order to break free. As such, by retraining this jutsu, one makes their whip stronger by making it harder for the victim to break free; each retraining stacks 'C' ranked snaring damage. However, after every fourth retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one.
Description: Mizu no Muchi is a ninjutsu technique that utilizes nearby water to create a whip that will function in the normal fashion, such as allowing the ninja to whip their targets, ensnare them, or defend against weapons.

If the dragon’s head is severed from its body, the lost appendage reverts to its natural water state and the remaining severed stub attached to the water source can re-grow once more. Only focusing a strong attack 'A' ranked or higher on the head will defeat it for sure. Up to one dragon can be made per use, plus one more each time retrained. However, after every third retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one.
Description: Suiryuudan no Jutsu is one of Suiton’s strongest ninjutsu, mainly because of its impact force and its ability to attack enemies in the air and on the ground. The ninja does a long string of hand seals which then causes a column of water in the form of a dragon to rise from the water and then strike at their target. Upon striking its target and ensnaring it in its aquatic maw, the dragon explodes with great force, flooding all nearby and providing an ample amount of water for more Suiton techs, should any enemies remain standing…

Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Very High [initial + upkeep]
Special: Vortex is circular, appears underneath a victim within their dominion range, and measures half that of their 'Suiton Ryuuken' range. It takes a half-second for the vortex to kick in once the user places their hands on the water, but the effects are strong. Those with equal or less EXP than the user will be sucked down because they cannot overwhelm the force that takes them; those with higher EXP than the user can fight the suction by producing a burst of chakra a level higher than that used to power this technique; if caught underwater, victims will have to produce twice the amount of chakra used to power this technique in order to fight the currents and break free. Each time retrained, this will add yet another extra chakra charge required for caught victims wanting to break free. Sucks anyone and everything in range. Can be held as long as the user wishes to sustain it.

Stream travels in a straight line, and requires both open hands to control the direction of the blast, as if the user had a giant hose to hold. Can be held as long as water is available, and as long as the user wishes to sustain it. Finally, because of the sudden pressure of the water blast, this technique can be retrained additional times to stack 'A' ranked blasting damage behind the technique.
