I could taste it upon the edge of my tongue.

The poison...

"Bingo!"

It had all happened so perfectly, it was uncanny, but who was she to fret over such minuscule aspects of warfare? The red haired girl had become trapped within the watery prison, by that moment Masumi was already in closing range, her former intentions were no longer needed so the Hozuki would instead change it up some, saving the girl was not her duty. What Masumi sought was incapacitation, her fighting prowess had yet to been demonstrated. Whilst her charge Masumi's arm had engorged itself with water; new-found power surged through the enlarged limb.

Masumi left arm would extend forward from her position, whilst the rest of her body shifted forward, taking on the appearance of a blob. Her outreaching hand would seek to grab ahold of the girl as her own body rushed forward at frightening speeds, seeking to ensnare the girl into a much more dangerous prison. Her hand was designed to keep the girl still from writhing about, while her own body entered the prison she'd created. Within the water, it'd be childs play to entrap the girl within an inescapable prison.

There'd be no acid within these waters as normal, but the amount of force would soon crush and break bones, leaving her gasping for air, where air could not hope to be attained. Her only hope to escape insult to injury would be interference from an outside force. This was the way of Kirigakure shinobi-cruel and ruthless without mercy-The devils blade sharp and deadly as serpents venom.

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.

Suiton Okori (Water Genesis)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Special Bloodline Technique / Saton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: Mid
Special: Because Hozuki are made of water, they can use themselves as a base for all Suiton jutsu. Highest rank known determines the rank of Suiton the Hozuki can use.
Description: A very basic yet essential technique, this allows the Hozuki to use their bodies as mediums for the birthing of Water jutsu should they lack the environmental advantage, or some sort of carrying device housing water. Because they themselves are made of water, it makes accessing Water jutsu near instantaneously - just keep in mind not to use too much, or the user will simply weaken themselves!
Domain: Hozuki. Suika no Jutsu.

Kusshin
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary Ninjutsu
Range: 0-50 Meters
Special: Allows the user to extend one of their limbs, allowing them to increase the range of their jutsu and attacks. Range increase is based off of the users Hydration Rank. D rank Hydration allows the user to extend a limb 10 meters while S rank Hydration allows for an extension of up to 50 Meters. Does not require seals.
Description: Utilizing their ability to convert their bodies to water, a Hozuki can actually achieve the elongation of their limbs. By utilizing this ability, a Hozuki can increase the range of their attacks. However, due to the properties of inertia if a hozuki were to throw a punch and extend their arm, they would not be able to change the trajectory of the punch mid-attack. As the User masters their ability to liquefy their body, their ability to stretch their limbs will also increase.
Domain: Hozuki. Requires D rank Hydration.

Kan'oke (Dense Water Coffin)
Rank: A
Type: Offensive / Special Bloodline Technique / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Chakra: Very High
Special: Up to one victim can be 'consumed' per thread, plus one more each time retrained. Consumption lasts a single turn and is inescapable, that is, unless the opponent can somehow produce a burst of chakra greater than the one overtaking them. Can only consume homanoid targets of comparable size on land - however, underwater, or in the presence of large bodies of water, the Hozuki can devour almost anything.
Description: A highly effective combat technique due to its high element of surprise, this deadly jutsu is best reserved for close combat situations. In a moment when the Hozuki spots their opponent's opening, their essence suddenly shifts forward at frightening speeds, no longer resembling a human and instead reverting into a giant blob. Their aim is to envelop the victim, smothering them so that they drown in the dense waters, feel their bones break due to the pressure, and even poison them by using their unique jelly.
Domain: Hozuki. ‘A’ ranked Hydration.

Gousuiwan no Jutsu (Strong Water Arm Technique)
Rank: B, B
Type: Offensive / Special Bloodline Technique / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: High
Special: On top of the technique's base rank damage, the boost adds additional damage equal to the Hozuki's highest 'Hydration' rank. Can be used on any appendage (arms or legs), but can only be used on one arm or leg at a time, and once pumped up, the Hozuki cannot transfer it among limbs unless the technique is canceled and re-used. Pump-up lasts up to one turn, plus one more each time retrained - after that, regardless of it being cancelled or hitting its limit, a cool-down occurs equal to the same amount of turns the user kept the 'Water Arm' pumped. Cool-down applies to the particular limb used, leaving the others open for use.
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.
