Description:The user creates a whip made of water that can wrap around the opponent. It’s offensive capabilities are limited to the amount of water and chakra used in creation of the whip;

as a thin whip would be speedy and great for shallow slicing of the skin, where as a thicker, heavier whip would be slower and better used for brute force offense, like a club of water.

Here in lies one of it's biggest disadvantages; you must trade speed and control for power;

if the whip is too thin it is fast, but only good for annoyance and distraction; if too heavy it is clumsy, and slow. Too much or too little and it becomes difficult to control. The user must know the extent of his control at either end of the spectrum in order to use the jutsu efficiently.


For the average user, the thinnest usable whip would be the width of a pencil, to maintain the water any smaller would be extremely difficult due to the friction of the air overcoming the force of the surface tension; at it's largest, no more then twice the width of the user's arm. Once the whip exceeds roughly a meter in diameter, the weight of the water makes it increasingly impractical to use, as well as too short. A thinner whip can be maintained at a longer length, as the tension of the molecules exposed to the open air would aide in maintaining the shape. When the whip is thin and long; no more then the width of the average quarter (Bo) staff, the user holds the end of the water like a normal bull-whip; but once the water exceeds this general diameter, it begins to encompass the user's hand and wrist, forcing the user to use their entire arm and upper body to control the whip. Beyond this generalized size, the whip becomes too heavy to control otherwise. Also, the whip itself can be severed rather easily; as it is only the density of the water itself that would impede a blade. If the entire whip was to be severed at once, it would break at the point of severing. Essentially, if the entire stream was to be broken, the jutsu would fail beyond the point of breakage. This is far easier for the small whips, as a kunai blade would be more then wide enough to fully sever the whip before the water could reattach itself. If an opponent succeeds at severing the whip, the jutsu is broken and cool down takes effect.

Description: The user expels water from his or her mouth in order to trap an opponent for a certain amount of time. However, once the target is trapped, the user must maintain close physical contact with the sphere, meaning that he or she must also remain in place. Once the contact is broken, the jutsu is completely dissolved. The person within the prison is unable to escape unless he or she makes the user break contact with the sphere. This can be done by use of any raiton technique, since contact with water would electrocute the user. The user cannot use another technique while this one is in play. Techniques that have been previously set, however, are not cancelled.
