"All Hōzuki have blue hair and blue eyes, part of a deviation in their chakra after becoming a part of the clan, and are able to shift their bodies into water. Usually they will also have at least one sharp, pointed tooth poking out of their mouth like a shark. Because their bodies are made of water, Hōzuki can often shift and displace their muscle mass -- meaning that they can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Usually when they are well hydrated, a Hōzuki appears to be bigger in size. Hōzuki have a love for water and hold several holidays a year to honor rivers, lakes, and oceans. Hōzuki must drink water often to keep themselves from drying out. 

"The Hōzuki were once a powerful clan in the Land of Water, producing at least one Mizukage and various swordsman whose names were known across the world. However after several of their clansman became criminals, including hitmen and sellswords, the clan began to fall into ruin. They never served in the government again, and many of the Hōzuki died in needless fights until only a few remained. One of them, a boy named Suigetsu, was used as a test subject by Lord Orochimaru in the Land of Sound before the Fourth Great Ninja War. However, after the war, Suigetsu teamed up with Orochimaru and helped start a new clan of Hōzuki in the Land of Sound.

"They were few at first, but over two centuries have grown into a robust, tribal community in Sound. Their community is found on the northern border of the nation, on the Ishi-ka Bay. Their dwellings consist of huts near the water that allow the Hōzuki to bathe themselves regularly in the ocean. There is a calm and tranquil atmosphere to the community. However, as war approaches the Land of Sound, many of the Hōzuki prepare for a fate that reminds them of their bloody past."[/ul]

Basics

Name: Water Transformation Jutsu
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Type: Ninjutsu, Water
Drawbacks: The user takes double damage from lightning techniques while they are in this state. The user is still affected normally by genjutsu. The user can possibly be trapped inside containers.
Description: The user allows their chakra to flow throughout their body and turn themselves into water. This is the trademark technique of the Hozuki clan. While in the water state, the user cannot be harmed by physical taijutsu attacks (although they may still rip a hole in the water where the attack occurred). The user can choose to make part of their body liquid and another part solid at will. The user cannot be harmed by normal weapons, although can still be harmed normally by chakra weapons or pure chakra attacks. The user takes half damage from wind, earth, and all undefined ninjutsu. The user takes a quarter damage from fire ninjutsu. The user is immune to water ninjutsu. The user takes double damage from lightning and cold ninjutsu. Genjutsu still affects the user normally. This is a wonderful technique for the user to avoid an attack, however, this technique also allows the user to shift into a puddle or stream of liquid. This might allow a user to fit through small cracks or holes. The user can also do odd things with their body, such as turn their head all the way around or cut off their arm. The transformation takes a C-rank's amount of chakra, and the same amount of time as C-ranked handseals, to perform. The technique lasts a number of rounds equal to 1 per rank the character knows of this technique. If the user is in a small space when the jutsu ends, then they will take 10 hp of damage for every meter traveled to leave through the nearest exit. If there is no exit, such as a sealed container, then the user will be trapped inside the space. The user can only use this jutsu up to three times per day due to the strain it puts on the body to become entirely liquid.
Requirements: Must be a Hōzuki clan member.

[/b] Durable Water Transformation
Rank: "C" (Multiple, Max 5)
Type: Supplementary
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: The user is able to maintain their Water Transformation Jutsu for longer periods of time. For each time the user has learned this technique, they may maintain their Water Transformation Jutsu for 1 additional round.
Requirements: Must know Water Transformation Jutsu

Name: Flow like Water
Rank: "S"
Type: Supplementary
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: This technique allows the user to use the Water Transformation Jutsu as many times per day as they'd like. The rest of the technique still functions exactly the same as the original, including the amount of rounds that the technique can remain active before the user must resolidify.
Requirements: Must know Water Transformation Jutsu, at least S-rank
[/ul]

Advanced

Name: Demon Wave
Rank: "S"
Type: Ninjutsu, Water
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: The user must be in a large body of water, such as a lake or ocean, and form the handseals. The user causes a large, fish-shaped wave to rise out of the water beneath them -- attached to their own body with a sort of sentience that allows it to move at the user's will. The wave is the size of a huge creature. The user may fight large enemies in this form, or use the wave as a wall or shield. The wave lasts for 5 rounds and can't do any damage on its own. However, the Demon Wave can defend up to 10 hp per user's character level.
Requirements: Water Transformation Jutsu, at least S-rank

Name: Great Water Arm
Rank: "B"
Type: Ninjutsu, Water
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: The user forms the handseals and then pumps all of their chakra, and stores of water, into one of their arms. The arm triples in width and becomes much stronger, but only for 1 round per character level. The arm is capable of dealing +10 hp damage with each successful taijutsu attack or unarmed strike.
Requirements: Water Transformation Jutsu, at least C-rank

Name: River Rapid
Rank: "B"
Type: Ninjutsu, Water
Drawbacks: User temporarily loses some of their strength or speed.
Description: By being able to fluctuate the water that makes up their body, the Hozuki is able to adjust their body weight, and the width of their limbs or torso. Due to this unusual ability, the Hozuki is able to slightly readjust their Stamina and Speed stats. The Hozuki can choose to lose up to 5 points in Speed and gain that many points in Stamina, or vice-versa. This technique will stay active for up to 1 round per character level. This technique allows a Hozuki to be much more versatile in how they use taijutsu.
Requirements: Water Transformation, at least B-rank

Name: Water Pistol
Rank: "B"
Type: Ninjutsu, Water
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: The user does not need to form handseals to use this technique, but must still wait the same amount of time. The user compresses all of the water of their body into the tip of their pointer finger. They hold up their hand like a gun and then shoot out the water, as if it were a bullet from a pistol. The attack is extremely fast and accurate, making it very difficult to dodge. On a successful hit, the attack will deal 5 hp damage per user's character level. This technique has a range of 7 meters per user's character level.
Requirements: Water Transformation Jutsu, at least C-rank

[/b] Double Water Pistol
Rank: "S"
Type: Ninjutsu, Water
Drawbacks: n/a
Description: Same as the Water Pistol jutsu, except as noted. The user may hold up both their hands as if they were guns. The user will fire a water bullet from both index fingers simultaneously, aiming at either one or two victims. Each bullet deals the same amount of damage as the original technique.
Requirements: Must know Water Pistol
