Sitting in his nice, air conditioned basement, Eiji's butler addressed him. "Sir, I want you to learn how to use your looks to break a merchant." The stoic butler said as he lead Eiji downstairs and handed him a few items and some money. "Try to sell me those items, and try to buy some from me, and use your words and looks to try to convince me to help you on the prices." The butler said as he sat behind a make-shift desk. Studying the items Eiji got the total prices of the various items. At most the items in his hand would be worth 2000 ryo, or as he called it, chump's change.

Copping a sly smile Eiji walks up to the make-shift stand, places his hand on it nonchalantly, and stared into the "shop keeps" eyes. "I have here, something everyone needs..." Eiji spoke calmly as he knew that what was in his hand was really junk, but hoped the "shop keeper" would pay for what he had. Eiji then handed over what was a stiletto, a small dull one, and smiled deeply to try to charm the butler. Eiji cringed a little bit when he realized how old and rusty the knife in his hand was. Either way he would have to try to sell it, or he could just give up now on the idea of making his own fortune like his father had.

Although the butler knew exactly what was going on, he accepted the stiletto knife, and offered 2000 Ryo for it. 2000 Ryo more than what it was really worth in a shop. The butler only did this because he actually felt obligated by the young man's illustrious smile. When he finished handing the money over, the butler than put a few items on the top of the makeshift stand and told Eiji to try to buy them as cheap as possible. Each item was labeled with a price of the original. The items were, Kunai 100 ryo, Senbon 100 Ryo, regular umbrella, 1000 ryo and a scroll worth around 10,000 Ryo.

Eiji then began to study the items on the desk, trying to size each and every item up. At first he picked up the senbon, and studied it, then put it down. "This senbon needle looks rather... Dull, I couldn't possibly pay 100 Ryo for that!" He said as he moved on to the kunai and the umbrella at the same time. "And this kunai is rather rusted and old no? The umbrella here also seems to be quite worn for my tastes." Eiji said, trying to be as smooth as possible while studying the items. When he finished observing 3/4 items there, he began to stroke his chin.

"This scroll seems to be worth, something, No? 10,000 Ryo tho? When it's been sitting in this dusty store unprotected?" Eiji laughed as he counted his ryo. Looking deeply into the mock shop keep's eyes Eiji offered the money the butler had given him before, plus what he had "earned" from selling the rusty old stiletto knife. "I'll give you 4,000 for everything, no more no less..." Eiji said proudly as he did math in his head. The butler knew Eiji would have to work a little harder to convince a real, unbiased shop keeper, but he had believed that Eiji had learned enough from their little game. "Sold." The butler said as he begin preparing for the next training of Eiji's silver tongue.

As Eiji collected the items from the makeshift stand the butler insisted that he kept training. The young man's silver tongue could make him very profitable very soon. As long as he kept his nose to the grind-stone, Eiji would be loaded in no time. So he collected the kunai, senbon, umbrella and map and studied them all again now that they were in his possession. Wiping the dust off of all of them Eiji cleaned them up, as a clean item always appears to be worth more than a dusty one.

He approached the "shop keeper" as he would approach most people he was trying work one over on. "Hello sir, I can see your shop is looking very empty... Perhaps I could offer you a few items of mine?" Eiji said as he pulled the Kunai and Senbon needle out from his pockets. "These may appear to be just normal weapons for a ninja... But if you look close you can see the seal of the Kazekage on them." Eiji said, lying about the seal belonging to the Kazekage, but there was some sort of odd seal on the side of the kunai. The butler smiled as he instantly knew that was a lie, but as the shop keeper he didn't so he began to study the two small, throwing weapons.

"I can give you 500 a piece for these I suppose." He said as he smiled, knowing damn well they were near worthless. Handing over 1000 ryo, the butler took the tiny knife and needle and put them under his makeshift stand. This was when Eiji took out the umbrella, which now had a symbol painted on it, which wasn't there before. The butler looked at the umbrella confused as Eiji began to speak about it. "This umbrella was owned by the noble lord of Whirlpool country, Sir Yaro... Specifically, my father. This priceless family heirloom has been with us since the first Yaro walked the earth." Eiji elaborated, this time, he technically wasn't lying.

Well, it wasn't an heirloom, but it was his father's at one point. Yet continuing his story he pulled out the scroll as well. "This scroll here depicts the many battles our noble Hozuki family have fought for this umbrella." He said as he remembered having to fight his sister over this same umbrella, even tho the Hozuki people have no need for it. The butler laughed inside at the thought of, people, made of water, fighting over something that protects them from water. None the less he acted interested in his role as the shop keeper.

"Surely you would have a place in your distinguished shop for such antiquity. Such noble history, Past and present sitting here. In YOUR shop." Eiji said as he smiled and stared into his butler's eyes. He knew sometimes his charm could be a little too... .Straight forward... But it had normally worked wonders for the red haired charmer. "Hmmm I'll pay around 10,000 a piece for each of those, kid." The butler said in a grizzled, old voice as Eiji's eyes lit up. He knew he would have to return the money at the end of practice. Yet this was the most money he has held in his hands since he left home to join Sunagakure. As he received the money, Eiji's smile reached cheek to cheek, as he got ready for a few more lessons today.

Following his previous exploits, Eiji was ready to strike while the iron was hot. Metaphorically speaking, obviously. Holding the 20,000 Ryo in his hand made him smile, which was a good reason to smile. Knowing that Eiji would likely be handling a lot of money in the near future, his butler decided it was time to be a little harder, and use actual, valuables. Grabbing priceless family heirlooms and placing them behind the fake stall his butler smiled as he watched Eiji's jaw drop.

He knew everything on the table was worth at least 200,000 Ryo, and all he had was 20,000, so he would have to do proper bartering to get all 4 of the items this time. Studying the objects he noticed 1 Mural, 1 Vase, 1 Crown and 1 very small, but priceless pocket watch. The mural was probably worth the least of them all so Eiji decided to aim for that first. "I'll take the dusty old mural, cant be worth more than, say, 20,000 Ryo." Eiji said calmly as he looked it up and down, seeing the picture of his entire family drawn to life. The butler paused as he knew how much it was really worth, but he also knew he was being charmed into handing it over.

Next thing Eiji knew, he was broke and had a valuable painting in his hand. Without even waiting, he tried to flip it and make a little cash. "This painting here, is of the late Count, and Countess Yaro. I think you could easily fetch a million ryo for it... It's yours for say, 750,000." Eiji said confidently as he was sure this would work. "I can do 500,000. Final offer." The butler said confidently as he denied the haggle attempt. Eiji accepted and continued to buy what was in front of him. The vase was around 500,000 Ryo, and the crown was easily 2 million ryo so he needed to work hard to make off with everything this time.

"I like the looks of that Vase and the pocket watch. For both I'll give you 200,000." He said as he began counting out the money in front of the butler. "Make it 210,000 and ill throw in the mural." The butler said, soon accepting 210,000 ryo from Eiji. Now with 3 of the 4 items in hand Eiji tried to work for the last item with 290,000 ryo in his hand, and 3 priceless heirlooms in his possession. This last move would be tricky, but as long as he got the crown, he would consider today a victory.

"I'll give you 250,000 Ryo fro that old, dingy crown." Eiji said with a fake feeling of disgust. "No Deal" The butler spoke. Eiji would have to try a lot harder and he was getting antsy. "What if i throw in the Vase too?" Eiji said, but the butler still would not budge. Eiji would not resort to begging, as it was beneath him, so he began to think. "I'll give you all 3 items, and all my ryo for the crown right now. Final offer." Eiji said as he stared his butler down as if he was going to kill him. That's when he cracked, and Eiji was finally wearing the crown on his head. Broke. But he still had the crown.

With the crown finally on his head Eiji felt victorious. But he hadn't won yet. He still had to end this training with all four items back in his possession. Hopefully with a little bit of cash on the side too. He instantly went back to the stand with determination in his eyes. "I'd like to sell my crown, I shouldn't have to explain to you how valuable this is. I want 5 million Ryo." Eiji said cockily, as he looked at the "shop keeper" and took it off his head. " That's way too much sir, I don't have that kind of money to spend on one item." The butler said, which was obviously a lie and Eiji knew even his butler had that kind of money on him.

"Surely you can double your money off of this one item? It's priceless, made from gold only found under dangerous waters in the land of Whirlpools." Eiji fibbed a little, as most con artists do to make a quick buck. The crown was actually made of gold found and mined under water, just it wasn't all that dangerous to all his relatives. "Well when you say it like that, 4.5 Million ryo, thats the highest i can do." The butler said as he dangled the heavy coin pouch in front of the red haired youth. Eiji hesitantly grabbed the money and began thinking.

"I'd like the mural, the crown, the watch, and the vase." Eiji said as he looked at the 4 items agian. Back at square one. His butler shot him a look while he tried to see how Eiji would possibly pull this off with such little funds. But if anyone could do it, it would be him. So Eiji instantly began breaking down the wholesale to try to make a buck off of it too. "I'll take that mural." Eiji said as he counted out 10K ryo for his butler.

His butler accepted the offer and began to question how he would do this. The butler would accept all the ryo for all the items, and Eiji knew that. Yet that wasn't good enough for the boisterous red headed lad. Eiji began eyeballing the crown and then shot back to the pocket watch. He couldn't decide which to buy first. This was when he decided to go for the Vase next. If he could get the vase cheap enough, maybe he would have a few coins left over at the end of his training

"Here is 100,000 Ryo for the vase." The young Yaro said as he placed the money on the desk waiting for the butler to take it. As he did Eiji knew his last move would need all the charm he could muster. Yet it wasn't for women, so maybe not all his charm. " I think this should cover the other two items sufficiently." Eiji spoke with his most confident voice, and his biggest, most illustrious smile as he tossed a bag of ryo towards the man. The butler began counting the 1.5 million ryo and looked back at the boy. This was when Eiji knew he had won this tiny haggle war. The butler then slid the last two items to him without looking. Eiji had around 3 million ryo left over. So he gave it back to the butler when he was done.

Going through his library of assorted books, Eiji found one that peaked his interests. It was a lore book about jungle monsters. The jungle always appealed to Eiji because he was still but a weak Hozuki, who had difficulty surviving in the desert. He began reading the book about many different creatures.  The book seemed to go in alphabetical order, so Eiji started with the letter "A", naturally. The first monster that he noticed was the aboleth.

"The Aboleth is an amphibious aberration that is very rare to find in the jungle." Eiji said aloud as he read, because he believed hearing himself say it helped him remember it. The book went on to describe the Aboleth further but Eiji had already moved on to the next monster on the list. "Hawkape? Seems to be an ape with a bird's head? That's pretty cool... Woah they can actually glide?" Eiji said as he imagined the creature in his head, gliding in to attack a prey.

He continued reading the book filled with jungle monsters, and creepy crawlies. His next lesson would begin soon with learning even more monsters he could one day fight. For now he would keep studying, until he fell asleep in his book.

Waking up from his impromptu nap, Eiji went back to the study of Jungle monsters. Next on his list was the Chakra bat.  "A chakra bat? Oh it say's here they avoid combat... Good thing, this thing is weird looking and creepy." Eiji sighed as he spoke, looking at the picture of  the grotesque bat. He decided to keep on going in the book since the bat made him feel a little sick. Maybe most monsters should be eliminated he thought. Maybe the world would be better if all them weren't around to torment humanity

"Thunder Behemoth? Woah this thing looks crazy!" Eiji jumped at the sight of the massive beast and imagined it looming over him. The sight of the thing made him want to fight it, even if it would mean his end. He then took a while to study the plates on the Behemoth in awe. That's when he stumbled on the Boot mauler. "A small slug that slips in boots and destroys feet? No thanks." Eiji said to himself as he physically cringed at the thought of that.

Reading more about the Boot Mauler, Eiji was determined to never run into one in the wrong circumstances. Even being made of water, the idea of physical pain didn't rest well with him. Mainly because he hadn't ever felt the sensation.

Still nose deep in his book Eiji kept on reading about monsters of the jungle. He knew he wanted to hunt monsters, but wasn't so sure after the first few monsters he had read about in the jungle. He continued reading past the boot mauler to the next on the list. The Couatls were a very interesting subject to read about, especially to Eiji. "Normal Couatls are sentient beings of the jungle that are as good as an angel." The  red headed youth hummed as he studied the flying serpent intently.

"These things are like, super cool! Giant flying snakes.... AND THEY CAN TALK?" It was in that moment he had know what his next obsession would be. He began intently gazing at the artist's rendition of the flying snake when he noticed he has been skipping a whole massive article of information on each and every monster. "Woah I can even learn what they would do to me if I got on the bad side of one." Eiji said as he thought about harming one of these things and felt his heart break a little inside.

"I wont fight one, but I have to meet one now!." Eiji said with determination in his voice. Putting the book down momentarily he went to his room to take a break. In a few hours he would return to the book for an even longer study session.

Jumping back into his studies of monsters like a crazed man, Eiji found that the couatls would be his favorite monster. Using the term monster lightly seeing that he had been an exaggeration since the couatl was a magnificent beast. The next on the list was the Jet couatl. Instantly being confused he noticed the many major differences between the two beasts of similar name. "What? This one has no wings...?" Eiji said confused, looking at the snake like creature.

"These ones attack normal Couatl? and they summon the undead." Eiji said to himself as he continued to read. The next fact shocked him even more than everything else. Eiji was about to learn that these couatl, were once normal. That they set their wings aflame for malevolence. "These things even attack other couatl. I know what I should do about this..." The red head said as he teased the thought of being a saint. Known for getting rid of all the couatl. "Nowhere near that yet." He said with a devilish smile.

Next thing Eiji knew he was taking notes about the two couatl. Trying to come up with a way to keep the jungle "Angels" from turning into metaphorical demons. After a while he was finally warned that his food was ready. At dinner that night he had asked his butler to quiz him on his knowledge soon.

The book was filled with many frightful monsters, yet Eiji was still learning about the Couatl species. Deciding that he learned enough about the first two, the young man went to the next page. This page had a picture of a Primal Couatl. The massive snake had wings again and was said to be able to mesmerize those who looked at it's eyes. "This one is neutral, so I guess it's not like the common one. That's kinda cool too." Eiji jested as he looked at the hawk-winged snake that was all sorts of greens and browns.

"It has its own camouflage too, I guess it couldn't hurt to fight this one for spot... Evil mages tend to use the hide for evil books." Eiji thought to himself along with the thought of making a cool sheathe for his blade out of the skin of a primal couatl. Knowing he would probably feel bad about killing such an elegant creature, he knew he wouldn't attack first. He probably could never bring himself to do such a thing after staring at the face of the beast in his book. "They are kinda violent it seems. Maybe ill get one on a bad day." The future monster hunter chuckled to himself.

There was one last couatl that he could see on the next page. It seemed that he would continue reading at least one more page before bed tonight. The young studen shoved his nose into the book one last time.

With the last Couatl in sight, Eiji quickly jumped into the description of the radiant couatl. A Lawful Good creature rarer than the normal, and on a bad day, a lot deadlier. "I. Must. Make... One . My friend..." Eiji's mouth dropped as he saw the thing. He then instantly was frightened by the lethal powers of the poison bite of the serpent of the skies. He then learned quickly not to stare at it's wings, as they will dazzle him. The radiant couatl was proving to be his favorite, and he one day hoped to befriend and possibly ride one.

"These creatures can use and ability that lets the change their physical body to what seems to be another plane of existence... Woahhhh." Eiji tried to imagine what it looked like, but he was sheltered as a kid. Where most would have known this creature thru fairy tales and stories. Eiji was in the dark. "This beast can also detect intentions and basically read my thoughts? Good thing we share something in common."  Eiji said noting again that the beast and him had the same alignment. He also noted the fact that its blood was a powerful all cure, this sounded too good to be true.

"I wouldn't want to hurt one to take it's blood... Good thing I'm a medic!" He jested to himself as he called for his butler. Soon he would test all his knowledge with his butler. Eiji studied a few more before it was close to midnight.

After a while of learning of the furious monsters of the forest, Eiji realized that he should learn how to heal someone if they get hurt. So the boy went and grabbed a different book from his personal library. The book was titled, Healing Hands, The Theory of Chakra Replacing Medicine. Opening to the first page would show Eiji a picture of what using the jutsu properly would look like. He studied the blue aura of chakra that came out of the hands of the medic in the picture.

First Eiji began practicing sending chakra from the source to his hands, and forming it to heal someone. Eiji relaxed his body and his mind as he began to meditate to find where his chakra came from. Being a Hozuki made it simple... Everything was centered around his nucleus  So he began to draw power from his nucleus, directing it thru his upper torso, down his arms and into his hands. Once it reached his hands he let the chakra exude from his permeable, water skin.

When the blaze blue aura formed around his hands he kept his eyes shut to try to feel the chakra, before seeing it. Eiji finally opened his eyes to see a plethora of chakra glowing from his wrists, to his finger peak. The next step for him would be to concentrate it to be regenerative chakra, instead of raw chakra. As Eiji gathered his thoughts he wondered silently how he could manipulate this kind of chakra to aid, instead of destroy.

The more he thought of what to think about, the less he actually thought of anything. When his mind was finally blank, he could see it clearly. The answer was all in the way he sent it to his hands. After his brief epiphany, Eiji soothed the chakra, until its felt like a warm blanket on a cold day. The relieving powers were extraordinary to begin with, as his hands continued to glow he went to find anyone who helped around the house.

Almost all of his butlers were Non-Hozuki men, so they would have tiny knicks and cuts for Eiji to attend to. Finding two chefs in his kitchen he noticed the light burns and nerve damage done to their fingertips. Having the other wait his turn, Eiji started with the head chef, and placed his hands over the burned fingertips. After a while the chef pulled his hand back, better than brand new. The second chef then instantly ran to Eiji, where Eiji then began to heal the man's burnt fingers as well.

Special: ---
Drawback: It takes a turn to swap between substances. If one wishes to learn the B-ranked version of this jutsu, they need to know the C-ranked Tokukaku first. If one wishes to learn the A-ranked version of this jutsu, they need to know the B-ranked Tokukaku first. If one wishes to learn the S-ranked version of this jutsu, they need to know the A-ranked Tokukaku first.
Description: As the Hozuki evolved, they also acquired the skill to change the properties the water inside their bodies has. Depending on the rank they know this skill, they are capable of giving their water different properties. The user's water will remain in whatever state the user activated last. Regardless of what state they’re in, their palms and soles always maintain a layer of normal water. The Hozuki members are immune to their own water's effects.
At D-rank, they can change the water in their body into a thick, mushy substance. All water jutsu done with the user’s own body when this rank is activated will turn the jutsu’s water mushy. This is enough to slow movement down slightly, latching on to people and weighing them down.
At C-rank, they can change the water in their body into a slippery substance. All water jutsu done with the user’s own body when this rank is activated will turn the jutsu’s water slippery. This is enough to make people lose their footing and grip on weapons.
At B-rank, they can change the water in their body into a sticky substance. All water jutsu done with the user’s own body when this rank is activated will turn the jutsu’s water sticky. This is enough to tie objects to each other, and people to the ground and their own equipment.
At A-rank, they can change the water in their body into a numbing substance. All water jutsu done with the user’s own body when this rank is activated will make the jutsu’s water numb and paralyze body parts.

At S-rank, they can change the water in their body into an acidic substance. All water jutsu done with the user’s own body when this rank is activated will turn the jutsu’s water acidic. This is enough to burn through cloth and skin in one, wood and limbs in five, and rock and bone in ten turns if not removed.

Limit: Must be of the Hozuki bloodline. No slots are used to change substance.

Eiji began reading an old journal of his fathers. It seemed when he was younger his father actually knew a few tricks within the Hozuki Bloodline. One of his tricks was him turning his body into a whole bunch of different substances. It had seemed his father's favorite was to become an acidic substance to add a whole bunch of danger to an encounter with him. Eiji began imagining how these would help in combat and got a few ideas instantly.

It would appear that Eiji was far away from becoming an acidic substance since his dad's journal explained an order the he should attempt for. The first would make Eiji's body mushy and almost marsh like. Forming his hand signs Eiji slowly felt his skin and his body slowly turn into a filthy, almost mud like substance. He trembled as he felt dirty but he also knew this could help. Coming up with a few ways to test this out and see the capabilities he went to find a butler.

As he approached one he bowed and asked his favor trying not to waste time if he could. He hurried them both down stairs and instantly faced them ready to fight. He formed the hand signs and let out a disgusted grunt as his body changed. After this Eiji then instructed the first butler to touch the mushy substance and describe it to him. With a wince the hired servant did as he was instructed to and tried to get as many details as he could.

"Mainly sir, it just feels gross... I feel a little slower and heavier too." The butler spoke as he ran, plugging his nose to find a sink and wash the muck off. Eiji saw the glop of his body there on the floor from the butler so he crabbed it and held it himself. Tossing it from hand to hand he was able to check out his own viscosity and other valuable things a man made of water should know. This technique made Eiji feel a little heavier when he used it yet he didn't really feel slower like his servant.

 
"I see... I definitely feel gross." Eiji said as he stuck the missing gob of himself back into the mushy viscous liquid that was his body. He then looked at the other butler and used his liquid body to form a hold on the legs. The butler was shocked as it couldn't lift his feet, eventually Eiji rose from the mushy water that was still his body and laughed. "Had this been real i could have killed you." The boy jested as he thought of what he considered to be a sweet combo attack.

Eiji studied more of his fathers old journal and found a basic water jutsu that should couple well with A) Being Hozuki. And B). The last technique he had learned the basics to. Eiji rounded up his butlers early just in case he would need them and then sat and read. The book described this technique as a simple water jutsu, one that would spit out water in a straight line. Being a Hozuki had its advantages, and the main one could be argued, the absolute mastery over the water release.

The journal seemed more like a guide book, had Eiji not realized sooner, his dad left notes for his future kin. It explained that he should use the water from his body to use this technique only after he has tried it once. So the butlers set up a target for Eiji to hit and he began weaving his hand signs. He concentrated his chakra and water began to fill his cheeks. He released the water from his mouth and watched as it his the outer part of the ring.

"Maybe I can try messing with the technique just a little more." Eiji said to his butler. They all seemed to understand what he meant, and began setting up a few more targets around the room and then stood back. Eiji performed the jutsu once more and water filled his mouth he coated it with his chakra. Adding a little personal flare, he began to spit out the water in a jet stream towards the first target.

As it hit the first target he continued the justu by using some of his own body to fuel it. This allowed him to hit the second and third target in a row quickly and accurately. He stopped and read his book a little longer as he began to think a little more. The book went on to describe the last technique Eiji had learned. It seemed his dad had the idea way before he did. And his dad got to try it with the cool acid version too!

Next thing he knew, he convinced one butler to stand against him in a 1 on 1 quick sparring match. As the match began Eiji started his hand seals for Kihatsubusshitsu, and became muushy and gross. After a few tried he started to become use to this form and then used more hand signs while his butler approached. This time he tried the pressure jet on his butler, using his mushy body water. Eiji watched in awe as globs of sticky gross goo spit from his mouth like some sort of freak. The butler was even more appalled as he was covered in what seemed to be swamp goo. Eiji then sat down and reversed his Kihatsubusshitsu technique.
