1 Inhibition Training - [Invite Only | NK] Sun Mar 25, 2018 11:07 pm
Chigetsu Hōzuki
Dead
With the sunrise came a sweeping layer of new morning fog. The moisture in the air seemed fresher as if with the dew that now coated the grass now brought something new with it. It provided a pleasant environment for the young Hozuki. Constant moisture in the air was practically necessary to the survival of his kind, and the beneficial effects from the constant hydration kept him in near perpetually good health. It would cling to him and absorb directly through his skin. In every breath came in a mouthful of moisture, lubricating the inner skin of his throat and flowing down to moisturize his lungs. It was satisfying to breathe. He would take a deep breath in, holding the air and moisture down in his lungs.
Two shuriken would fall down. The spinning blade would come from above, and their trajectory would lead to them both sliding down into the male's right shoulder. For a moment the pointed blades would stick down into the flesh, however they would only remain in place for a moment until slipping out of him, sliding out of the small wound they had caused and hit the ground. They would be bloodless. There was none of it, despite how it appeared like they sthree-fourths three fourths of an inch deep. A steady stream of water would drip from Chigetsu's shoulder now, where the wound had been. The liquid would dry up after a moment, revealing unharmed pale flesh through a new hole in his shirt.
Chigetsu would let the air flow out of his lungs now. His eyes were closed, having slipped shut as he took in his first inhale. Even without being able to see he could reach down and collect the shuriken, locating each from the sound they had made when they fell. The blue undershirt he was wearing, now dotted with little holes and punctures, gave away a bit of information about his actions. It was a light top that was smooth and cool against the skin normally, made of a stretchy sort of plastic-like fabric that made it incredibly comfortable to wear. But the two dozen or so holes it now had in it caused the disconnected fibers to fray now. It caused the fabric to brush up against his skin in an irritating manner every time he shifted. At first at had been tolerable, but with every new hole it became a little bit more annoying. After a moment of deliberation, it would be taken off, thrown to the ground like trash. It had been one of his favorite pajama shirts up until now, but with how torn up it was it there was no point to keeping it any longer. He would be left shirtless, wearing only a pair of loose-fitting sweatpants and presumably some sort of undergarment underneath his pants. His outfit, or lack of, was a bit strange given his training. Normally it might be a bit uncomfortable for him to use one of Kirigakure's public training fields while only in his pajamas, but today it seemed as his inhibition was unusually lacking. The collected shuriken would be tossed upwards again, thrown at an angle into the sky that would allow them to strike into his body again once they were caught by gravity. He would have to move slightly to ensure they would strike him on their path, leaning into where he thought they would fall. On their downward descent this time they would collide with his face, slicing a straight path downwards through his brow and lips before embedding into the ground.
"Your liquification won't always be able to save you. Why are you testing its limits?" His kunai would speak up, a whisper down from his pants. It would be positioned awkwardly, held to his waist with his waistband. The handle would stick up out of the waistband in an odd way, compensating for his current lack of belt pouch. It was only due to his clan's passive hydrification abilities that allowed him to handle these weapons in such careless ways. Should he accidentally poke himself with his own kunai there would be no blood, only a slight dripping of water. The slash that streaked down his face would form into skin and flesh again, leaving not even a mark behind. "I can't stop." He would take the time to respond once the portions of his face would re-solidify. "It'll happen whether I want it to or not. I can't control it." His voice was gruff and unsteady, a half whisper caught through the crust of the night before. It seemed as if he hadn't slept. "I want to test how well I can take these sorts of wounds, but I can't make myself bleed." The kunai would seem to snort at his response. It was a mental object that had no lungs and couldn't snort, or even speak, but the manner in which it sounded in Chigetsu's head was something like a snort. "You want to make yourself bleed? Don't be foolish. Training in ways that cause damage to yourself just r-" "Results in a broken tool. I know." He would snap down at the kunai in his pants. "You've told me a thousand times. Don't you think I know that by now?" That he was sort of half-yelling in his crusty morning voice at his pants probably wouldn't look good if anyone passed by and came to see him, but Chigetsu didn't have it in him to think about that in the moment. "Then why don't you listen? Not being able to listen to simple orders will make you useless." He would spit down into the dirt of the training grounds, wanting to remove the bad taste he had in his mouth. Despite the moisture in the air refreshing what little amounts of liquid he expended when using his clan's jutsu he felt his lips getting dry. It was irritating. "Didn't you taunt me earlier for not being able to act on my own? I thought I needed to 'seize the day', whatever that means." "You do need to do exactly that. But drifting away from what advice I'm graciously trying to give you-" "Advice?" With that word Chigetsu would reach down, snatching the kunai from his pants. He would hold the weapon up close to his face, staring angrily into the reflective sheen of the blade.
What had been a conversation in whispers now angry and grumpy yelling at his weapon. His shuriken, still embed in the ground at his feet, seemed to be remaining quiet. They hadn't spoken to him in a few days now, still rather angry about the last time he had confused the two. It was probably for the best that they stayed out of the conversation now though. With how loud it was, even though it was morning Chigetsu was sure to attract some sort of unwanted attention.

Chakra [130/130]
Hydrification [15/15] (-1 From Jutsu, +3 from Mist)
- Jutsu Used:
- E-Rank Hydrification Technique {水化の術 ~ Suika no Jutsu}:
Name: Hydrification Technique {水化の術 ~ Suika no Jutsu}
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: Scaled, equal to or less than Ninja Rank (E-A)
Type: Defensive/Supplementary
Element: Suiton
Range: Self
Specialty: KKG
Duration: 1 or Maintainable
Cool-down: None
Description:
Not a technique as such, but a living part of the Hōzuki Clan's genetic composition which can be activated at will, but also activates re-actively to any damage the user sustains, forcing its use on the Hōzuki consuming their chakra and hydration points against their will. 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 and traversing normally-blocked areas with ease.
E Rank: (This rank of The Hydrification Technique, is always considered active.)
PASSIVE: When used at this rank, the user can liquefy tiny amounts of their body, roughly the size of the index finger, as well as incredibly simple things to liquefy, namely their hair and fingernails. Costs 1 hydrification point per post used. This level of liquification can be maintained indefinitely without additional chakra usage and activates in response to small damage, such as E rank weapons like Kunai and Shuriken.
D Rank: When activated at this rank, the user can liquefy a surface area roughly the size of their forearm, as well as any armor or equipment that covers that area. This level of liquification can be maintained for 5 chakra every post and 2 hydration points per post. This technique can be used to help resist basic strikes, but has no interaction with jutsu.
C Rank: When used at this rank, the user can liquefy a surface area roughly the size of an arm or leg, as well as any armor or equipment that covers that area. This costs 4 hydrification points. This level of liquification cannot be maintained for longer than 1 post at Genin, but can be maintained normally at Chuunin rank for 5 chakra every post and 3 hydration points per post. This Rank of Hydrification technique activates in response to impact from D rank jutsu, preventing lasting harm to the user.
B Rank: When used at this rank, the user can liquefy a large amount of their body, such as their torso into liquid, as well as any armor or equipment that covers that area. This costs 5 hydrification points and 10 chakra. This level of liquification cannot be maintained for longer than 1 post at Chuunin, but can be maintained normally at Sp.Jounin Rank and above for 5 chakra every post and 4 hydration points per post. This rank of Hydrification technique activates in response to impact from a C rank jutsu, preventing lasting harm to the user.
A Rank: When used at this rank, the entire physical composition of the Hozuki, as well as any armor and equipment they may be wearing will turn into liquid. This costs 6 hydration points and 10 chakra. This level of liquification cannot be maintained for longer than 1 post at Sp.Jounin, but can be maintained normally at Jounin Rank and above for 10 chakra every post and 4 hydration points per post. This rank of Hydrification technique activates in response to impact from a B rank jutsu, preventing lasting damage to the user.
S Rank:When used at this rank, the entire physical composition of the Hozuki, as well as any armor and equipment they may be wearing will turn into liquid. This costs 10 hydration points and 15 chakra. This level of liquification cannot be maintained for longer than 1 post at Jounin, but can be maintained normally at Sannin (S-Rank) and above for 15 chakra every post and 8 hydration points per post. This rank of Hydrification technique activates in response to impact from an A rank jutsu, preventing lasting damage to the user but also allowing them to draw parts of themselves that had been scattered or vaporized back to themselves at 5mp/s to recombine.
Note: Any damage which would cause a Hōzuki Clan member to lose/ sever a limb or mass during Hydrification can be re-attained through the user making contact with the separated liquid, requiring 1 post to recover to its usual form, however, Katon hitting Hydrated areas causes it to evaporate, causing long-lasting damage and wounds.
