Whiteout
Rank: "A"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User creates a whiteout of snowy weather to obstruct those inside.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: Range of this technique is 120 meters + 60 meters per Class Level. Effect is a cloud centered on the target that spreads 36 meters and is 12 meters high. Duration of this technique is 5 hours per Class Level. This technique requires a large source of snow or ice nearby. A swirling snow and a strong wind arise around the user or a creature the user designate, and follows the user or the creature from that point on. Characters in whiteout conditions lose any Minor Defenses, use half movements, and take a -20 penalty on Agility-based skill checks, as well as Observation. The character also gains total concealment. These effects end when the character leaves the area of whiteout. Whiteout conditions stack with wind and snowfall. Visibility is 2 meters. In addition, any creature trying to move within the effects of this Jutsu must make a Tracking check (+10 per user's Class Level) every move movement or wander lost inside the whiteout. A creature that fails cannot leave the area, but can move around within it. Groups of creatures roped or otherwise physically held together can use the lead creature's Tracking check and stay together. A new check can be made once per minute.
Limit: Must know Ice Release.

A frozen sky and a frozen earth, flakes of snow falling slowly to the iced over tundra below, a world of grey all around. Color did exist here though, the pine and fir trees native to the region remained hardy, despite the burden of snow within their branches. Sekitan stood amongst a copse of these trees, a clearing for training, nearly sixty meters in diameter, with plenty of room for company. The current Yukikage had been asked to join him here, as he was going to start her training today, as well as have a bit of training for himself. Once she arrived, he would begin instructing her in a more basic free form way.

“The task is simple. I wish to see how quickly you can learn, Kahimi. This will set me on the path of your training as your mentor. Begin.”

[Begin Training]

While Sekitan watched her in her training, he would begin a training all his own, despite not moving a single muscle that would indicate any such training was occurring. First, he would begin to mold the chakras together, almost unconsciously, but with great care and precision. He would take the wind and water chakras separately, building them in the main chakra center of his body, located within his stomach. From there he would set to weaving these chakras, threading them through each other in a way that would bind them, which in turn would make them more malleable.

Now that he had the chakra set, he would begin the process of altering it, causing the chakra to decrease in temperature, but making the woven individual threads move faster with his system. Simultaneously, he would use pure chakra as an adhesive agent, binding these two chakra types together within himself, forcing them to join and create what is known as Hyouton, or Ice chakra. The process was not as easy as it sounded for most, however, Sekitan was adept at handling such chakras, swiftly creating the bonding bridges and pulling that chakra into each other.

Like with a forge, he would ‘melt’ the chakras down and allow them to pool together in their bindings. That was the best term he could think of to describe what he was doing, forcing that chakra together to create the new. In addition to the ‘melting’ process, Sekitan would force the chakra to move at a hyper accelerated rate, causing it to continue to drop in temperature until it became like liquid ice. He would pull the liquid ice chakra through is chakra centers toward his hands, slowly at first, although in all honesty this was just force of habit, as he no longer needed to concern himself with creating handseals any longer. His body could control the output without the focusers.

The skin of Yuki no Kuni is as devoid of color as always. Where the sky meets the cold compact white blanket of snow, is usually the only place where color can be found. Nature is in odd patterns here. The trees having to grow to be strong in a land that covers its leaves and branches. Snow is an odd element. The water within it, is too frozen to be liquid, and yet is brittle enough to be melted near instantaneously with simple pressure. And yet...when compacted together with multiple layers snow can be quite a rough and solid force to be reckoned with.

Something that starts out as gentle, fragile snowflakes can become a terrifying wave of death with a simple summoning of an avalanche. A fusion between wind and water in a way that not even sand can match. Today...Lady Kahimi was not only going to train to renew herself as a shinobi and a kage, but to learn how to use and master the Hyōton Style. To learn how to turn the bitter cold winds within this land into a plaything of her will. And that all starts now. Under tutelage of Lord Third.

The current Yukikage entered the forest's selected clearing she'd immediately gaze upon the tall stoic man that was awaiting her arrival. The Third Yukikage to be exact. Her demeanor wasn't as off putting, casual, or lazy as it normally is. Which is a sign that Lady Kahimi was taking this rather seriously compared to some of the other things she blatantly ignores. Her movements were almost practiced in a way. Each step taking up the same amount of distance as the last, as she approached him directly. Its obvious that she made some actually preparations as well.

The young Yukikage wore her white floral kimono robe, which was secured around her by a big silver sash tied into a large bow in the back. The ends of that silken fabric left to trail downwards on either side, stopping just below her rear. Her silver-whitish hair was also tied in a very pristine and beautiful bun, leaving whatever was left to gently trail down behind her head stopping just past her upper back. This style would clear up much more space to show her face. There was no sign of weaponry on her person either. Overall it this is a very formal and almost gentle look compared to the abrasive style that she is normally recognized for. Someone of Sekitan's caliber may be able to figure out why this young woman would willingly dress in such attire. For others, they may see it as a simple maiden addressing a master in appropriate clothing, despite the weather conditions. But those people would be dead wrong...

Standing only ten meters away from Lord Third, she'd listen to his words before carrying on with her demonstration. "Fair enough. This shouldn't be an issue." she's reply in response before tending to her chakra and the surrounding winds around her.

[Begin Training]

Upon saying this Lady Kahimi would conjure up a short string of handeseals. These seals would be used to help sync her chakra with the nature around her only consisting of Wind, Water, and Ice properties. Her affinity to an advanced nature transformation such as Ice mostly stems from her effortless connection with the wind. Lady Kahimi would meditate to the sound of gentle breezes that flowed around the clearing of snow within the forest. The time it took to do this was instantaneous at best. Her mind already escaping into the vast landscape as the winds spoke to her. Listening to her wishes within seconds of her fusing chakra into the surrounding air. However that was the first step she'd use as the air was not where her chakra needed to be.

Using the minimal downdrafts within the area she'd start fusing her chakra energies within the ground itself. Its here that she'd meet natural resistance. In order to progress Lady Kahimi would need to call upon the water release to connect with all the liquid particles she could get in contact with. Feeling everything she could connect with and grasp control over. From here Sekitan may notice the winds near them starting to pull down towards the ground more. A subtle shift in wind direction but highly unnatural with the current weather patterns. Still it was a sign that she was up to something. At the very moment Kahimi had her eyes closed. Her body was still, and her mind was open. Thinking piece by piece where to make her next move.

Using the wind she'd keep the snow near her in contact until she was able to connect both releases. Forcing herself to adapt to the heavy weight of snow they were standing on that covered the ground entirely for miles. Eventually however a subtle pulse would quake across multiple meters of ground. A light tremor would be able to be felt beneath Sekitan's feet. No visual sign of movement nor was the tremor reminiscence of anything that could be considered the beginning of an earthquake. However within a few seconds of that light tremor Sekitan may notice that the snow around them was beginning to move very gradually. Only the diameter around them at least, but even this slight movement could be felt by both of them. As if the snow have very minuscule waves pushing outward underneath them.

And thus...there was another tremor...but this one was slightly stronger than the last.

The Tsuchikage casually floated through the skies tinging them dark grey with her presence as her chakra filled them with a charge. Rolling waves of thunder echoed miles behind her as the storms grew though she took no note of it and flew with her eyes closed using the clouds to tell where she was as she focused on the chakra pulsing through out her body and funneling them through her body.

First. A pulse rippled and a red aura flowed across her skin making her a bright red comet that made the clouds glow like an evil spirit hid within. A thought that wasn't wholly untrue.

Second. Orange bled through the red creating a burnt orange hue that would make the clouds around her look embraced by sunset as her chakra flowed within and without creating her aura.

Third. A small smile stretched across her lips as yellow bloomed from the orange creating a golden streak through the sky piercing the cloud cover like rays of light.

Fourth. Striking green formed within the yellow until her path looked like and eldritch blast screaming through the sky and casting a brilliant green glow across the clouds above and below.

Fifth. As her eyes opened bright blue chakra burst from the green like a sapphire star however her nose and her eyes caught sight of a familiar soul. Losing focus on her gates the color shot back to yellow as the Tsuchikage turned and dived straight for the snow and her Yukikage.

The neko noted the other person with her but shrugged as her body became incorporeal aiming to fly through Kahimi land then turn and kiss her forehead. Assuming nothing was able to stop her the cat would giggle and shift her body around Kahimi hugging her shoulders as usual before waving at the man happily while her super saiyan aura made all her features gold. "Hi~ We haven't met yet, I'm Krystal~"

I was walking through snow and ice and wind - no precise destination but always the same goal, to find a stronger me. My feet that were once weak, felt nothing as i walked - wearing heavy leather boots that completly covered me all the way up to my knees. Heavy silk pants of the same rugged dark brown color of the boots that matched with my gloves brought me comfort - a gift from my masters. A not so heavy yet made out of silk, white and gold long sleeved shirt hid and covered under and by a rather thick fur coat with a fluffy hoodie all dark brown.

My body felt no cold - i had trained in these past few months to better handle itself - much like a well oiled machine that needs no sustainment. The secrets of the Candy CLan really proved themselves to be useful. Light track marks were left by my steps due to the snow underneath my feet. In front of me only white and solitude - a few trees that gave up on life made this land look even more abandoned than it already seemed.

Strangely enough, some sort of bird was  flying above me, "cawing" like a crow yet it wasnt - Looking at it it gave me a chill through my spine, like a bad omen. The  previous distant thought of my family became very vivid as i thought of them - but i could not go back yet, i wasnt strong enough yet - i needed to find something - and my search led me here, in this land - there must be a reason for this...

A being exploded from the heavens, or more accurately, flying into his training grounds as a type of distraction. She landed, passing through Kahimi, whipped around and kissed her forehead. And odd gesture and not one that is typically displayed by enemies. Sekitan would simply blink at the large woman, taller than himself, who had draped her body around Kahimi. A large cat woman. Why are there so many animal humanoids in the world? no matter, so long as it did not disrupt Kahimi’s training. However, if she was distracted so easily, he would rescind his invitation to mentor her.

“Kahimi, do not be distracted. Those that are easily distracted die when battle is upon them.” His deep baritone would hopefully cut through the nonsense. “Krystal, is it? Do no distract Kahimi from her training or you will be removed.” Crunching of snow somewhere to his left, just outside the copse of trees [Starnaess], but it should pose no problem.

[Begin Training]

Even with this large cat woman attempting to interfere, as well as someone else crunching, he continued to mold the chakra within his own chakra system, dropping the temperature consistently by creating a type of turbine effect with the chakra, keeping it swirling within his chakra system at a heightened rate. The next stage of completing this technique was still to come however, as he would have to thread that chakra through the air. He would begin to allow his frozen liquid chakra to seep out from his pores into the very air around them all.

This chakra was going to need to reach the clouds first and foremost, or at least high enough into the sky to create the blizzard that he was seeking. Instead of creating a blanket of chakra in a wide area around him, as one would with a dome, a more focused approach was necessary. As the chakra oozed from his pores and took on the appearance of evaporation for those who could see it, he would begin to force it to climb his body and pool above his head, as much as he could handle in one area while keeping it attached to himself.

Tremendous focus was necessary with this chakra, as it was more of a liquid and dense, yet continually attempting to evaporate as well into the chilled air around it, a kinship perhaps? With an iron will, he would keep this chakra from elevating, evaporating, or dispersing as it pleased. Finally, the pool was large enough, like a bubble above him the size of a sedan. A thread of chakra began to climb toward the sky that the large cat woman had come from, the snowflakes never touching it, as it wormed its way higher and higher until it pierced the clouds that were in the sky. Soon it would begin to snow, but he was not quite there yet.

The neko pouted a bit as the new person told Kahimi not to get distracted before telling the Tsuchikage that if she was going to be a distraction she could leave. With a puffy pout her aura shifted and began to twinge into green again as her high elation faded and she sighed glancing at her lover watching her focus on whatever she was doing. A faint grumble sat in her throat before her cat ears flicked to the side of the clearing where someone was wandering, at the moment she didn't particularly care so she shrugged.

Krystal's eyes slowly closed while her x-ray vision kept a look out around her, she willed her chakra within her body and sank it down into the frozen earth below extending her influence before she breathed out slow, her breath flowing through the cold like smoke. her aura mellowed becoming a soft glow around her form as she focused on pushing more of her chakra through her body rapidly increasing the cycles and channels into the air itself around her body began to shift creating a localized vortex on her position as her chakra became brilliant sapphire.

Slowly her sense of self spread through the forces around her as her perception grew the earth made her shiver as she felt the chill of the tundra. The air hugged the bodies that wandered the area flowing to and fro as she felt the force of her own chakra radiating and forming the small localized cyclone around her body as her glow began to darken slightly shifting away from bright blue to a watery hue of purple.

The thread of chakra would touch the clouds, reaching into the heavens and threading through the moisture therein, affecting the snow minuscule amounts for the time being. He would need to now create a connection between his own chakra and the chakra that makes up life, a chakra threaded through the clouds themselves and all things in the world. Raw chakra it was called, or aether, or ohm or any number of things. First things were first, of course, and that was the domination of the chakra that was within the clouds and the liquid that was being frozen and falling as snow. His eyes once more shifted over to Krystal and Kahimi to make sure she was still training.

“Kahimi, stop getting distracted and train.” He would call out as she stood there frozen, much like the snow around them, “Krystal, you are shivering because your focus is off. Steel your mind against the sensations of temperature while you train.” If she was going to be here anyway, he might as well give her some tips as well.

Finally, his chakra had spread throughout the clouds over the maximum distance he could possibly control, some four-hundred and twenty meters of distance. Stretched thin as he was, the mental strength needed for this chakra was tremendous for now, being the first time he had ever attempted a feat such as this. He began to weave his chakra throughout the clouds within the radius of his control, an enormous blanket, and then he began to pull bits of those clouds to himself. Bits of knowledge of clouds to be exact. This would be the base model for this technique, these very blackened clouds.

His chakra began to return to him with the knowledge that it had gathered, beginning to form a cloud all of its own, yet it was merely wisps for right now. The knowledge to make a cloud was invaluable however, and his chakra knew exactly what to do, as it began weaving a thicker net of chakra with tendrils of water and air. At first nothing would happen, as he was laying down the chakra foundation, however soon enough little puffs of blackened cloud began to form above Krystal separate from the clouds above. They would need to be made to be one, or this technique would never function. Threads of chakra lanced each puff of cloud, pulling them together, and then stitching through them like a master of needle and thread. All that was left was to create the blizzard.

Her mind was relatively muted from all outside noise and events, except for anything Lord Third was doing. Yet, even that couldn't keep her from wondering why there was sudden thundering going on. The closer it got the more troubling it became in her thoughts. Those tremors of chakra energy merging itself with the snow beneath them, began to weaken overtime. This on its own was annoying for the young kage. Her mind focused hard on keeping her chakra in sync with the snow and ice, but the arrival of one person in particular was about to throw that all out the window.

Kahimi's eyes opened abruptly as soon as she heard the sound of someone else landing right in front of her. Her vision was only filled with a distinctly familiar body figure, which left her with many new questions. "W-wha?..." she'd say nearly inaudibly as she attempted to look up, only for her to be kissed on the forehead beforehand. However there wasn't even a need to question it by now. She already know who and what just swooped in on this private training session.

As much as Kahimi wanted to be fully elated to get to see Krystal again, she couldn't shake that creeping fear of what Sekitan would think. If he'd attack or be upset and leave. That and there were still some unanswered things! The blazing warmth of Krystal's body as she embraced and wrapped herself around the Yukikage pushed everything in her mind away. Kahimi's head slowly peaked up to look at the amazon with that dumbfounded look still on her face. It really was the Tsuchikage...that much is true.

Luckily Sekitan's booming baritone voice shook the shaken up Inuzuka out of her daze. She jolted from his orders to keep focus. And by that point Kahimi had no time to waste. She had been frozen still for far too long, and because of that has lost too much progress. She'd have to just ignore the tall neko for now, because the snow she was merging chakra with was at a standstill, and that was no good at all.

"I know, I know! just...gimme a second." she'd call back before taking a few seconds to collect herself. The extra assistance from Krystal was felt and noticed afterwards. As much as she'd prefer to not have the help, she wasn't going to complain. "For the record, I'm glad to see you too, but next time I'm putting a bell on you." she'd say to the amazon jokingly while forming the handseals once more. After that the young Yukikage was back on track with this simple, but necessary jutsu.

Her chakra once again slowly drizzling down into the ground which Krystal more or less would feel. This process only transitioned back into the point where she left off. The snow itself once again beginning to get adjusted by waves and tremors. Although this time the snow could be seen moving much easier, as her chakra (along with the addition of Krystal's) would have an easier time connecting and moving the snow with the flow of the expended chakra energies. The reach of this momentum was gradually getting wider the longer Kahimi kept herself synced and focused with the Ice Release. The winds above her were disturbed by Sekitan's influence, but that was not her problem. The chill temperature is only a distraction, and for what its worth Krystal was actually keeping her warm with whatever it was, she was up to with all the glowing and such.

[Titan of Stone]

Krystal didn't notice Sekitan's words at first as her indigo hue became less brilliant and clung to her skin in a dull shimmer as Krystal felt everything around herself especially the way their chakras were influencing the cold around them one a greater force rising into the clouds while the other pooled across the snow below. As her eyes opened the same indigo hue replaced her gold as she smirked hearing Kahimi's words. "wouldn't work~"

"Hm wouldnt having a distraction be better since theres no telling when you'd need to use a technique? I find training under fire a better exercise since it helps hone your ability to do things on the fly." Krystal mused softly sounding oddly... informed as the usually dense neko hummed to herself honing her chakra circulation and pooling all of her chakra inside her body focusing it along her muscles and joints reinforcing them. Granted the only real show of this process would be the rapid flicking of her tail as her twitching was sped up drastically as her gaze moved to the intruder off to the side.

While she still wondered what they were doing she still didnt particularly care. However Kahimi would feel her lover's body was growing with heat more and more as her pores opened expending heat and energy as her gates flowed like a torrent. The next gate would probably make her back start to sweat if her energy kept ramping up the way it had been as even the snow at their feet had been blown away to show the frozen earth beneath them.

”No,” he would tell the cat woman sternly, his eyes cutting over to her and narrowing slightly, “When you train something new, you need to focus. Once you know how to use this new ability, then you can apply it to various situations. Not before.”

Above Krystal the clouds would begin to stitch together and grow large, dark and ominous, pooling condensation within them. Frozen chakra would be deftly woven throughout the clouds, keeping them together through all but the most powerful of winds, and soon that condensation would begin to freeze. It would happen slowly at first, while Sekitan controlled his chakra as if a master artisan, creating a work of art with his chakra. A single snowflake would begin to fall from the cloud, white and soft, a perfect pattern in imitation of a natural snowflake.

More would begin to follow in rapid succession, a complete symphony in a sense, with the Third Yukikage as the Maestro. More and more, faster and faster, the snow would begin to fall in what seemed to be sheets, then suddenly more would come, a world of white snow, a blizzard like no other. Anything caught within would not be able to see in the least, instantly tracks would be filled, even the snow that was blown away by Krystal was quickly replaced. This was the Whiteout technique in its full perfection.

The neko blinked raising an eyebrow as the man dismissed her training method, with a shrug she slid off Kahimi kissing the top of her head before she floated a few feet away from the other two and with a flick of her tail the earth before her shifted creating a 10x10 foot cube of earth emerge from the ground as she stretched and let out a breath releasing the surging chakra within her to calm and even out. While her chakra calmed she took a few moments to circle the cube of earth with a satisfied smile before she came to a stop at one of the corners and touched down in the snow her skin unaffected by the snow in the slightest as the blizzard started to kick up, she could still see despite it between her ability to see soul as well as her x ray vision.

Taking a deep breath she leaned into the corner of the cube grabbing the sides of it as she pushed her chakra rushing through her first gate making her skin look sunburnt as her violet hair dyed red and the snow drifted away from her. Only her claws sank into the cube making her eyes narrow as she growled low pushing harder causing a subtle burnt orange color to replace the red as her fingers started to dig into the earth. The strain finally started to show as a slight tremor along her body as the orange burst into a brilliant yellow aura and faint cracking could be heard from the cube.

With another breath the yellow darkened into an emerald green as cracks started to spider out from the holes Krystal's fingers made sinking into the stone. As her body trembled and a deeper growl rippled in her throat her eyes became brilliant sapphire blue as the radiance of a star surrounded her skin and cracks ripped along the base of the cube where it was connected to the ground. Despite her model-like padding, the cat girl's body shown with muscle as the blue light clung to her skin again darkening to indigo before the sharp crack of breaking stone came from the column as she took a step back brute forcing the massive hunt of earth raising it over her head in a show of herculean strength as her body glowed Indigo from the Sixth Gate.

[Character development/Fluff Stuff]

As her mentor went out of his way to perfect his understand of a Hyoton jutsu, Kahimi would have to endure the shifts in the winds around her. The unnatural weather patterns being made from his influence, inevitably began to shift things around her in ways that she'd notice even without seeing it herself. It wasn't anything obscure to begin with of course, but to know that such events were taking place could easily throw someone off of their training.

By all means what Lord Third was conjuring, wasn't exactly going to be a simple matter. Knowing this, Kahimi had to focus even more on her own jutsu, which was relatively simple, but her inexperience with the Ice Release nature transformation really tested her. For an A Rank jutsu it was tame, but until she could perform it with ease, she couldn't deep it fully learned.

This brought a small form of jealousy within the mind of the young Yukikage. Her will to succeed and grow is as a bright illuminating light within her well being, but being surrounded by such strong individuals who dwarfed her own strength so easily, is embarrassing. As a kage there are many factors that play into the role, that don't even begin to touch in strength as a shinobi.

Whether Kahimi likes it or not, nobody is going to respect her if she canno't pull her own weight when times are the most dire. No matter how much she has done already. It will always been in the shadow of inexperience and wasted time during her younger years. The only thing she can do now is use the wisdom she has as an adult to go forth and surpass all the peers she sees fit. Her pride as an Inuzuka demands that in of itself.

Remembering that will help keep petty jealousy from clouding her mind with garbage. Hopefully that will be the case in the future from her on out. However none of that can be looked forward to, until she gets this jutsu done and over with first. Both Sekitan and Krystal were already progressing with their own training. For a moment she took a peek to see what was happening around her. The increasing chill of the air, was gnawing at her curiosity. To be met with the visual of an incoming blizzard being created by Lord Third himself, was something that luckily only inspired Kahimi at the time. To see a glimpse of what this advanced release holds in store for her is the right kind of exposure she needed in a time like this. Krystal strength was always above the curve as far as she has seen.

To actually see Lord Third doing something in front of her instead only getting an idea through reading old war stories, is an opportunity Kahimi never thought she'd have. Of course she wouldn't dare tell neither of them this. To praise her peers so openly would most likely stir up more trouble than its worth. Besides, Krystal is enough trouble as it is, giving her a bigger ego to go along with her over sized ass isn't something she wants to have to deal now. Seeing her manhandle a large cube of earth that she made with her bare hands is more than enough boasting as it is.

[Training]

"Great show Tiger; but now I'm confused. Are you training or just flaunting your body for me again?" Kahimi would call out to Krystal playfully as this all went on. The rapidly falling snow had begun to effect her vision in terms of seeing anything around her. So the lack of sight on her mentor was a bit of a worrying thing. After all Sekitan isn't to type to do things for no reason. Perhaps he was setting the mood for a ambush type scenario for her to defend herself in? She wouldn't know for sure, but what she would know is that she better speed up the learning process of this justsu.

Kahimi sighed softly as she wouldn't let her attention drift any further. Her chakra was already ready to be used again, as she focused on the ground. Using the new layers of snow Sekitan made as a source for her chakra to merge with. Once that was done, she'd begin to push and move the snow in even pulses. Making it push outward as if to clear out more of the ground before more snow would take it over since the cube was no longer there. The young Yukikage found little enjoyment out of doing this over and over, but she noticed how much easier it was for her to utilize the snow's substance to her liking. This realization was enough to convince her that she wasn't wasting her time. Its too bad that now its harder to see thanks to the Whiteout technique.

However knowing that its hard to see, Kahimi would get an idea. Instead of just pushing the snow in a general expanding circle, she'd begin to making her chakra flow in patterns. Using intervals to shove the thick layers of mushy ice in vertical or horizontal directions that quickly began to expand near one hundred meters exactly. Almost as if she was trying to make a checkered board of snow. With her being able to move the snow using the ice release at such as vast range there is no doubt in her mind that Sekitan may be able to see it in action. Whether or not he'd be please by it wasn't the question. She wasn't concerned about that. And knowing Krystal she wouldn't exactly understand it herself, but will be supportive anyway.

However this is not the extent of Kahimi's plan. No no...she had more stages of it. And with the blizzard now upon them...she was excited to put her skills to the test...

[An'ei Sekitan]

Burst of Glacial Wrath
Rank: "S"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User is able to deal massive cold damage to a target, capable of freezing them in place.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: Range of this technique is 10 meter cone shaped burst. Duration of this technique is instantaneous. A quick buildup of icy blue energy centered on the user's hand rapidly becomes an enormous bubble of frost that washes out over the landscape, freezing all in its path. The user creates a burst of icy energy that flash-freezes any creatures within the Jutsu's area. The Jutsu deals 30 Armour Points of cold damage per Class Level. Any living creature who reduces all of their Anime Defense is not killed, but instead turned to solid ice. A creature turned to solid ice by this Jutsu gains hardness 10 as well as immunity to cold and electricity. However, it also gains vulnerability to fire, and any frozen creature can be killed by fire. A user who learns this technique gains resistance to cold 5, which stacks with any other resistance to cold they already possess.
Limit: Must know Ice Release.

Sekitan took a moment to watch over the progress of the young Kage, a small grin coming to his face as the blizzard engulfed them. Sekitan himself merely stepped out of the Whiteout and called out to Kahimi, watching her progress. “Good. Moving snow and ice may seem mundane, but it will serve you well in the future with proper planning.” It was time for him to further his own understanding of the Hyouton release though, despite the bit of pride he could feel in teaching again after so long, squashing that down so that it would not interfere with his own machinations.

[Begin Training]

Too much of the Hyouton Chakra was left circulating through his chakra network, needing a release, otherwise it would just be wasted chakra. A thought came to mind, what if he could release it all at once? Long ago, before the coma-esque sleep of the Evolution, he had heard of such a technique, a release of Hyouton so powerful it could freeze a man where he stood, although it was a short-range burst of a cone. How to apply that burst was the first order of business however, as he was piecing this technique together from old knowledge during a life now long passed. He would begin to build the chakra in his forearms first.

Pulling chakra from all over his body toward his forearms, shortly after it had been expelled into the sky, was no small feat. He would begin to draw that chakra back to him as it permeated the air, drawing that chill back into him, warming the air by only a degree or two. The chakra that he built up with that stayed in the pit of his stomach, the main location for drawing chakra, just as he wanted. Next was the process of moving and storing that chakra in his forearms. The frozen chakra moved sluggishly through his system, pooling in trickles in his forearms, but this was far to inefficient for combat. He would have to find a way to make this much quicker.

He would have to liquify it once again the way he had before, mentally grabbing hold of that frozen chakra, then using the wind within to start it to liquidate. Spinning his chakra as if through a turbine, he would pick up the speed, turning it swiftly to liquidate it through the heat of inertia. As the chakra began to liquify, it would move swifter through is chakra system, pooling quickly in his forearms as he had planned. Once that was completed, it was time to begin the next portion of his training, which would be finding a way to push that chakra out of his body with the violence that was necessary for this technique to be ready for battle.
