Description: The Hydrification Technique is the Hōzuki Clan’s Kekkei Genkai Technique. This Jutsu allows for the Hōzuki Clan member to liquefy not only their physical form but the clothing, armor and weapons on his or her person. This technique is completed with no hand signs and is only able to be accomplished because of the Hōzuki Clan’s close relationship with the Suiton element. The individual member of the clan can, quite literally, change his or her entire physical composition into a gelatin-like liquid. In this state, the Hōzuki Clan member is capable of slipping through the smallest of cracks in walls, traversing normally-blocked areas with ease.

This technique is also the baseline required Jutsu of ALL other clan Jutsu, such as the Water Gun or Great Water Arm Techniques. The amount of liquification, and therefore the hydration/chakra cost is dependent on the rank of the technique used. All liquification effects do not have to apply to drawn weapons such as a katana the shinobi may be wielding to fight with. The rank of Hydrification the shinobi can use is equal to their shinobi rank, not the rank of jutsu they can use; they can use any rank of Hydrification below their rank, however. When liquified, all basic physical attacks will pass through the enemy harmlessly.

E Rank: When used at this rank, the user can liquify tiny amounts of their body, roughly the size of the index finger, as well as incredibly simple things to liquify, namely their hair and fingernails. Costs 1 hydrification point per post used. This level of liquification can be maintained indefinitely without additional chakra usage.

D Rank: When used at this rank, the user can liquify a surface area roughly the size of their forearm, as well as any armour or equipment that covers that area. This costs 4 hydrification points. This level of liquification cannot be maintained for longer than a post at equal rank, but can be maintained at C-rank and above for 5 chakra every other post and 2 hydration points per post.

C Rank: When used at this rank, the user can liquify a surface area roughly the size of an arm or leg, as well as any armour or equipment that covers that area. This costs 5 hydrification points. This level of liquification cannot be maintained for longer than a post at equal rank, but can be maintained at C-rank and above for 5 chakra every other post and 4 hydration points per post.

B Rank: When used at this rank, the user can liquify a large amount of their body, such as their torso into liquid, as well as any armour or equipment that covers that area. This costs 6 hydrification points and 10 chakra. This level of liquification cannot be maintained for longer than a post at equal rank, but can be maintained at C-rank and above for 5 chakra every post and 5 hydration points per post.

A Rank: When used at this rank, the entire physical composition of the Hozuki, as well as any armour and equipment they may be wearing will turn into liquid. This costs 8 hydration points and 10 chakra. This level of liquification can be maintained, at an additional 5 hydrification points and 10 chakra a post.

However, this technique is not without its drawbacks. For starters, if a Raiton attack hits a liquified part of the Hozuki, it will deal +2 damage instead of +1. In addition, the paralyzing effect mentioned within the Hozuki drawbacks changes from one rank lower to two ranks lower. In addition, while damage does not increase from what it would normally deal, as water is not vulnerable to fire, if a fire attack hits a liquified portion of the Hozuki's body they will be dehydrated in relation to the rank of the fire technique [D Rank: 4 points C Rank: 5 points B Rank: 6 points A Rank: 7 points S Rank: 10 points SS Rank: 15 points]

Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Element: Suiton
Range: N/A
Specialty: Taijutsu or Bukijutsu (Hozuki Only)
Duration: Maintainable
Cooldown: 5 posts
Description: This technique exploits the Hozuki's water based bodies, by liquifying the muscle mass of an arm and then reforming it, the user artifically inflates their muscle mass by flooding it with chakra infused water. This is not permanent, however, once the Hozuki stops feeding the fake muscle mass with chakra, it will turn back into water and be reasorbed into the user's system. For the duration of the technique, the user's arm in question will gain +2 tiers to strength, and therefore damage dealt with physical blows and sword swings. This is maintainable by a cost of 10 chakra per post and 1 Hyrdrification point per post after activation. Initial activation costs 20 chakra and 5 Hydration points.

Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Element: Suiton
Range: 40m
Specialty: Ninjutsu (Hozuki Only)
Duration: 1 posts
Cooldown: 4 posts
Description: This technique is the infamous "kill shot" technique of the Hozuki clan, as members of this clan often use it for point-blank lethal strikes. To perform this technique, the Hozuki must spend a post compressing a large amount of water into a tiny drop inside one of their index fingers. They then fire this droplet like a bullet towards the intended target at 50m/s, causing penetration damage of at least 4 inches. This technique can kill if it hits a major organ. This costs 30 chakra and 5 hydration points. The water droplet cannot be held in the fingertip for a prolonged period of time, and as such must be fired or reabsorbed into the system [if reabsorbed, chakra cost of 10 instead of the typical 25 chakra, and no hydration cost]
