Hozuki Zangetsu Skills & Jutsu

Jutsu Name: Shadow Clone Jutsu
Jutsu Type: N/A
Jutsu Element: Yang
Jutsu Rank: B
Jutsu Clan: N/A
Jutsu Description: The Kage Bunshin technique is the evolved form of the bunshin technique, though rather than making illusory clones the clones made via this technique are solid, and can perform jutsu's. In fact visually even to most dojutsu's the clones do not vary at all from their caster. However the clones are not perfect copies, the clones made start at 50% of the users strength and that gets split across the total amount of clones made meaning if you make 5 clones they are each at 10% of the user's strength. Another Difference is that these clones each can only take 1-2 hits before being dispursed, all of the knowledge gained and a portion of their remaining chakra are sent back to the user. This can allow the technique to be used to expedite training, but just like reserves and knowledge are transferred so to is the exhaustion.

Jutsu Name: Sensing Technique
Jutsu Branch: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Name: C
Jutsu Description: The Sensing Technique allows sensor type shinobi to mold chakra and change it to the sensor type. This enables them to detect and track down targets through their chakra signatures. The range of this technique varies between sensors and the rank of this jutsu used will increase the range as well. D-Rank starts with your immediate area, and S-Rank could cover an entire village. The more range you try to give to the technique the more chakra is consumed, the longer the technique is used the more chakra is consumed, and the more targets the user tries to track at once also increases chakra consumed. It is more practical to only track up to three targets or less at a time because of this chakra drain drawback.

Jutsu Name: Body Flicker
Jutsu Rank: D
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Description: By using the Body Flicker Technique, a ninja can move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalize the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. Other elements or substances can be used instead to distract the opponent.

Jutsu Name: Body Replacement
Jutsu Rank: E
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Description: With this technique, users replace their own body with some other object, generally with a block of wood, the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. From this, the user can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the battlefield. Explosive tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise. Despite it being a basic ninjutsu taught at the Academy, it is seen as a useful art that can be applied in variety of situations as it allows for a swift getaway from danger. The technique even allows a restrained shinobi to escape capture. This technique can only be used 4 times per thread.

Jutsu Name: Cloak of Invisibility Technique
Jutsu Rank: E
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Description: This technique allows the user to take a cloak or a piece of cloth to blend into an object, making them invisible. While only a basic skill it's been shown that some users were able to effectively camouflage themmselves without the use of a pre-prepared cloth and freely move about, all while blending in with their surroundings.

Jutsu Name: Clone Technique
Jutsu Rank: E
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Description: A ninjutsu that creates an intangible copy of one's own body, without any substance. Since the clone itself doesn't have the ability to attack, and thus can only be used to confuse the enemy, it is mainly used in combination with other ninjutsu. It's a basic technique, but depending on one's ingenuity, it can be used effectively. The clones may not dissipate when they come into contact with something. These clones can be easily distinguished by people with dōjutsu. A person with normal eyes can also distinguish the clones from the original, since the clones do not have shadows and will not disrupt the area around themselves with their movement (i.e. won't kick up dust, crush grass, etc.).

Jutsu Name: Enclosing Technique
Jutsu Rank: E
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Description: Using this technique, a wide variety of objects and even living things can be stored within scrolls, and can be released when the scroll is opened or meets a specific condition. It is possible to seal ninjutsu into a scroll which would activate and try to hit anyone that tried to read the scroll upon opening it. To save chakra, instead of sealing a nature element into a scroll that was created through chakra, one could just use pre-existing nature elements, like water from an ocean, and seal it within the scroll. Though a scroll is the most common use of sealing something, as demonstrated by Ajisai in the anime, this technique can be used to seal things into a small sheet of paper too.

Jutsu Name: Unsealing Technique
Jutsu Rank: E
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Description: A technique used by shinobi to unseal what was sealed within a scroll, or in the anime, a sheet of paper.

Jutsu Name: Rope Escape Technique
Jutsu Rank: E
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Description: A basic technique taught at the Academy. It allows a ninja to free themselves if they have been tied up. Sasuke demonstrated this when Naruto tied him up and gagged him. How this is done is unknown.

Jutsu Name: Tree/Wall Climb Technique
Jutsu Rank: E
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Description: Tree Climbing Practice is a training method used to gain more skills with chakra control. This training involves focusing a fixed amount of chakra to the bottom of one's feet, and using that to climb a tree without using one's hands. If the stream of chakra is too weak, the user will lose their footing on the tree and fall off. If it is too strong, the user will be pushed away from the tree, causing the tree to break around the point of contact and the user will fall. The concept of this exercise is similar to magnetics. This is evidenced when a user was able to attract a kunai thrown his direction to his feet and then throw it at an enemy by kicking the kunai while releasing his chakra's hold on the kunai.

Jutsu Name: Water Walking Technique
Jutsu Rank: E
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Description: This training method is used to gain better chakra control. To do this, the user has to be emitting a constant stream of chakra from the bottom of the their feet and using the repellent force to walk across the water's surface. This technique is more difficult to master than the Tree Climbing Practice, because the amount of chakra that needs to be emitted changes constantly. It has also been shown that one can use their chakra to "skate" across the water surface, like an ice skater, instead of just walking or running. And, as noted by some, the more one trains this technique the more they reach a state where they stand on water without even noticing it or basically even trying. It doesn't have to just be at the feet. A user under water can focus chakra on their hands or any other body part that makes contact with the surface of the water. If they were submerged, they can climb atop the water as if they were climbing out of a pool.

Jutsu Name: Transformation Technique
Jutsu Rank: E
Jutsu Type: Ninjutsu
Jutsu Description: Given all the missions ninja are assigned to - battle, intelligence gathering, diversions - this is a priceless ninjutsu. It is typically used to change into people other than oneself, but one also has the ability to change into animals, plants, and even inanimate objects like weapons. This gives this technique an abundance of uses. The transformation of a skilled shinobi will be exactly like the genuine article, so it will be impossible to tell the two apart. On the other hand, a transformation performed by an inexperienced person will have obvious discrepancies. It will be impossible to deceive anyone with it. This is one of the most basic ninjutsu, as such most shinobi know how to perform it. The transformation technique is considered to be among the more difficult E-ranked techniques, since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form. On top of that, the user would be, most likely, interacting with the environment. This puts mental strain on an inexperienced ninja. Thus, the best way to determine if it is indeed a transformation is to cause this strain upon the user; though this is not always successful.

Jutsu Name: Drowning Water Blob
Jutsu Type: Hiden
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: C
Jutsu Clan: Hozuki
Jutsu Description: After liquefying a portion of his body, the Hozuki manipulates the resulting water to surround his target's head, preventing them from breathing in order to either: render the victim unconscious or ultimately kill them if the suffocation is sustained.

Jutsu Name: Great Water Arm Technique
Jutsu Type: Hiden
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: B
Jutsu Clan: Hozuki
Jutsu Description: By putting the Hydrification Technique into practical use, the muscles of the arm are temporarily enlarged and strengthened. Moisture is gathered from the whole body and compressed into the entire arm, like an instant pump-up. However, because it is essential to properly control the moisture balance inside the body, this technique's degree of difficulty is very high. The technique gives the user superhuman strength, capable of breaking through both rock walls and steel doors with ease.

Jutsu Name: Watergun Technique
Jutsu Type: Hiden
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: B
Jutsu Clan: Hozuki
Jutsu Description: The user makes a finger gun with their hand and, through the Hydrification Technique, compresses a drop of water in their index finger, firing it with tremendous force and speed similar to a gunshot — enough to easily pierce through a sand clone.

Jutsu Name: Hydrification Technique
Jutsu Type: Hiden
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: A
Jutsu Clan: Hozuki
Jutsu Description: This jutsu, a hallmark of the Hōzuki clan, allows the user to liquefy any part of their body at will, from the hair on their head to the muscles in their arms. When the user is struck by a physical attack, the impacted area becomes liquid, causing the attack to pass through them and leave them unharmed. The user then solidifies back into their original form.

Jutsu Name: Water Two Guns Technique
Jutsu Type: Hiden
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: A
Jutsu Clan: Hozuki
Jutsu Description: A more lethal version of the Water Gun Technique, where, instead of using one hand, the user uses both hands and fires two powerful shots of water simultaneously.

Jutsu Name: Jigan Eye: Second Stage
Jutsu Type: Doujutsu
Jutsu Element: -
Jutsu Rank: B
Jutsu Clan: Jiganshi
Jutsu Description: The Jigan Eye, when open, allows the user to communicate with others telepathically. They have a range of 50 meters, and communication works both ways so long as the user wants it to. Additionally, the user can see any chakra-producing creature within that range as if they were 5ft above them looking down at them.

Jutsu Name: Water Release: Hidden Mist
Jutsu Type: N/A
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: D
Jutsu Clan: N/A
Jutsu Description: The Hidden Mist Technique is a speciality of the shinobi from Kirigakure, where one causes a mist to spring forth either by using a pre-existing water source, or expelling it from their mouth. They can then go in and out of sight at will from within the pearly-white realm. The mist's thickness is controlled by the amount of chakra kneaded into it. It cannot fool the Byakugan, but, due to the mist being created with the user's chakra, any Sharingan and Rinnegan-user will see the mist colored by their opponent's chakra — which will effectively hide the user from the dōjutsu.

Jutsu Name: Water Release: Heavenly Weeping
Jutsu Type: N/A
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: C
Jutsu Clan: N/A
Jutsu Description: A technique in which chakra is kneaded in the user's body, transformed into water and then shaped into senbon in the mouth before finally being expelled at a high velocity. The needles are shot in an attempt to catch the enemy off guard, while also aiming at their vitals.

Jutsu Name: Water Release: Starch Syrup Capturing Field
Jutsu Type: N/A
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: C
Jutsu Clan: N/A
Jutsu Description: The user expels high viscosity water to cover the ground. This stream of sticky liquid can be used to form an adhesive trap that will inhibit a person's mobility. One can effectively reduce their enemy's area of activity with this technique, giving the user an advantage on the battlefield. The normal scope of this technique is normally just a few meters, but it is possible to make an entire pond of starch syrup. The syrup can be manipulated to move after it is created, being able to stick and travel up surfaces.

Jutsu Name: Water Release: Water Clone Technique
Jutsu Type: N/A
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: C
Jutsu Clan: N/A
Jutsu Description: The Water Clone Technique is similar to the Shadow Clone Technique except it creates clones that are made out of water. Also, unlike shadow clones, water clones hold only one-tenth of the original person's power. Like other solid clone techniques, the clones can be used to perform tasks the user is unable or unwilling to do for themselves. The range of the clone is limited however, as it can not travel very far from the original body without losing control. Like other clone techniques, if the water clones are injured enough they will revert to normal water.

Jutsu Name: Water Release: Water Prison Technique
Jutsu Type: N/A
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: C
Jutsu Clan: N/A
Jutsu Description: This technique is used to trap a victim inside a virtually inescapable sphere of water. The only downside to this technique is that the user must keep at least one arm inside the sphere at all times in order for the victim to remain imprisoned. This technique requires a sufficient amount of water, which can be provided by expelling it from one's mouth. Once trapped the target is unable to move or breathe while within it due to the heaviness of the water. Because of the density of the water it can be used, to a limited extent, for defensive purposes if performed on oneself. It can also be stored in scrolls as traps. Water clones can be used in preparation for the technique, which block an opponent's attack and trap the attacker in the prison using the clone's own water. A Hyuuga was able to use his ability to release chakra from all of his tenketsu simultaneously to disrupt the flow of chakra and break the prison.

Jutsu Name: Water Release: Waterfall Basin Technique
Jutsu Type: N/A
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: C
Jutsu Clan: N/A
Jutsu Description: This is a technique which creates a waterfall by developing spring water in a place without water veins and manipulating the resulting water current to form a wave. This is a very convenient technique as it can be used for training or relaxation. On the other hand, because it changes the environment on a large scale, it also has the effect of hiding one's location from the enemy by confusing them. The width of the water source, waterfall, and basin can be expanded as long as the user continues to send chakra in.

Jutsu Name: Water Release: Wild Bubble Wave
Jutsu Type: N/A
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: C
Jutsu Clan: N/A
Jutsu Description: The user spits out a large volume of foam-like bubbles which covers the ground and reduces its friction, considerably limiting the opponents' movements. The bubbles are spit out with violent force that is capable of washing away most attacks, such as oil and fire. This technique can also be used as an effective smokescreen.

Jutsu Name: Water Release: Wild Water Wave
Jutsu Type: N/A
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: C
Jutsu Clan: N/A
Jutsu Description: The Water Release: Wild Water Wave is a basic Water Release technique which has many variations. Water gushes from the user's mouth like a waterfall and washes away the enemy. One can freely control the power of this technique with the amount of chakra one releases.

Jutsu Name: Water Release: Great Shark Bullet Technique
Jutsu Type: N/A
Jutsu Element: Water
Jutsu Rank: A
Jutsu Clan: N/A
Jutsu Description: The user creates a gigantic shark out of water and, by thrusting both hands forward, sends it to attack the opponent. This technique differs from the original, since this is able to absorb the chakra from an opponent's technique and in turn, use that chakra to grow larger and more powerful. Therefore, the stronger the opponent's technique is, the stronger this technique will get.
