Fuuton Kaze no Senbon (Needles of the Wind)
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User hurls a mixture of senbon needles in the form of wind to cut into the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: The ninja gathers air with his hands and mixes it with chakra, by doing this he transforms them into sharp and deadly needles. The needles are almost invisible so it is hard for the enemies to see them. This technique may be blocked by large objects, however something small such as a sword, or a staff will allow the needles to seperate still moving towards the object it was originally sent to. Not a powerful technique as the user is capable of hurling up to ten senbon wind needles that gives out minor cuts. However this could be used as a more of a set up technique to allow the user to perform a more dangerous technique.
Limit: Must have the Wind Release

The jutsu Ryuichi was about to learn didn't seem like anytihng too complicated; he was already familiar with wind elemental jutsus. He was along the outskirts of the village, where he could safely accomplish his training without putting any of the villagers in danger. His training spot was atop a snowy hill, where he had a clear view of the village and the large mountains nearby. He kneels down, closes his eyes and takes slow, but deep breaths. This was how he was taught to meditate; typically he used followed this process during his training under Suzuka, but he figured it couldn't hurt to apply the same tactics to his ninjutsu.

A few minutes later, he felt he was ready. He rises from his meditation stance, pausing for a moment to embrace the cold environment. The tiny flakes gently land on his face, almost immediately melting and becoming water. Ryuichi takes out his spear and sticks it in the ground, just in case its weight would disrupt his focus. Once ready, he performs the handseals at high speeds and begins gathering air with his hands. He begins to worry when nothing happens.

"Perhaps I performed the wrong seals?" he thinks to himself. He tries it one more time, except at a slower speed to prevent messsing up again. Waving his hands again, he can feel chakra flowing through his fingertips as he gathers air. He can feel the senbon needlesin the air, awaiting his command. Ryuichi thrusts his hands forward, hurling the needles through the air. He notices the the snowflakes separating from each other due to the speed of the needles; it worked.

However he couldn't call it a day just yet; in reality, he would need to learn to go through the process much faster if he is to use it in combat. He performs the technique a little faster, and it works like it did before. He then repeatedly performs the technique, doing it again faster each time he performs it correctly. He does this until he can do the jutsu at the original speed he performed it in.

Now that he was familiar with it, the time came to test how well he can use it. He located a dead tree with a few leaves; this would make a pretty good target. "If I can hit those leaves, then I can say I mastered this technique" he thinks to himself. He moves about 100-200 feet away from the tree, observing where the leaves are and how the wind is making them move. He waited for a good moment, when the leaves would be open enough to hit from distance. Wait fo it...wait for it...now! He does the corerct handseals at high speeds and hurls the senbon needles forward. To his amazement, he hit five of the leaves, separating them from the branch. Proud of himself, he smiles lightly and goes to get his spear.

Futon: Eatama
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a ball of air about the size of a beach ball. It does no damage but is useful for sitting on and escaping from a dangerous situation quickly. This ball is also handy as while riding it you can ride up walls, ceilings, water, hot ground and cold ground without harm.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Really None
Description: The user quickly performs the simple handseals, horse then serpent then extends there hand under them palm extended as almost instantaneously, air forms into a ball under them. They can then sit on the ball and scoot away quickly or ride it across hostile terrain or up steep cliffs.
Limit: Must have Wind Release. The ball continues to use chakra as long as it remains active but only a small amount, two points of chakra per turn.

Ryuichi already knew a transportation jutsu back when his sister used to go through the basics with him; she had taught him the wind surf jutsu, one of his favorite techniques. He used it whenever his parents would send him to the store or when he was playing games with his sister. He had nearly perfected the technique, heavily relying on that when he ran away from home. It was nice to know, but now that he was a full-fledged genin, he needed to expand his knowledge on jutsus. This technique seemed very simple, about as easy as the fuuton kaze no senpon, if not easier.

Horse, then serpent. He performs both handseals then extends his hand underneath him. Just as he thought. A ball of air formed almost instantaneously, with his privates accidentally getting caught in the crossfire. The shock almost knocked the breath out of him, but he managed to keep the ball of air intact; he just had to work on summoning it. He sat down on it; he didn't fall over, so he must have done it correctly.

Unfortunately, there was more to the technique then just creating an airball. It was also about chakra control,being able to release a small amount of chakra at the same rate. It was nothing too difficult, and it was about time to go for a test drive. He crossed his legs and began rotating the ball at blinding speeds. He was traveling pretty fast, but he kept his balance without fail. Looking behind him, Ryuichi noticed the trail of snow following behind him; it was almost satisfying to see the flaring snow.

He rode along up the freezing mountains, along the village walls, along the rooftops, upside down, he rode that ball quite a distance. Time seemed to pass him by like the snow be rolled over, and before he knew it several hours had already passed by. He decided it would be best to head back, but he only returned to his training place to retrieve his spear. Disembarking from the ball, he straps the shield to his back, ready to begin walking back to the village. Thinking about it, he decided to have a bit more fun; horse, serpent, release! The ball was reformed, this time there were no casualties. He rode the ball to his front door, where he decided to grab some dinner.

Suiton: Mizutsume no Jutsu (Water Style: Water Claw Technique)
Rank: D Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes pressurized water to wrap around the users hand, forming a claw.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: None.
Description: Creates a claw around the users hand which is pressurized and will allow te user to cut with their "bare" hands. Acts as if it were metal, as the water is both highly pressurized and infused with chakra. Lasts two posts, cannot form handseals whith the claw "on".
Limit: Must know Suiton no Jutsu (Water Release). Must have a water source.

For this technique, Ryuichi decided to learn it at home. Since he doesn't know the skill to create water out of thin air, he concluded that it would be best to train where he had an available source of water. In preparation for this, he filled a bucket to the brim with water. The only thing that bothered him was that he didn't have as much training with water element jutsus as much as wind element ones, so he started off with his typical meditation routine, hoping it would help.

Now that he was focused, he was ready to try it out. He made the handseals and watched as the water rose from the bucket and slithered towards his hands. Just as he thought, the water condensed itself around his right hand in the shape of a bear claw. The chakra condensed the water to a very firm solid, which still kept its shape as Ryuichi swung his arm several times. He flicked it a couple of times; it certainly felt like metal, all it was missing was the clang sound.

For good measure, he decided to to see just how sharp these makeshift claws really were. He looked around his house for something to sacrifice to his experiments while taking care not to slice anything into pieces. The best thing he could find was the very bucket he filled with water earlier; he just had to remember to buy another one the next time he went to the store. Holding the bucket at arm's length, he tosses it straight up in the air, waits for it to be at the level of his eyes, and swings his arm as ft top speed down on the bucket.

The claw sliced through the bucket with ease; Ryuichi watches as the pieces of the bucket hit the floor. He was impressed with the capabilitiesof this weapon. The only thing that disturbed him was that those who use this technique will be unable to perform any other ninjutsus for some time. As much as he wanted to try and be the first one to do so, his right hand was completely submerged in the condensed water; he freely moved his fingers about, but couldn't properly make any seals.

A considerable amount of time passed by, and yet the claw still retained its shape. It was apparent to Ryuichi that he should only use the technique when he had to. The cost of the weapon's power is the inability to use other ninjutsu techniques. He also had to make sure that the thing he sliced up was his enemies. He ran his fingers through his hair, taking note of this realization; it was then when the chakra giving the water its shape had dried up, soaking himself with all of that water. He sighs, then grabs a towel to dry himself off.
