Hakisuitoge no Jutsu (Spitting Water Spines Technique)
Ninjutsu (Suiton) [Water]
Rank: 4 (C-Class);
Range: Close (10 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels);
Target: One or more creatures (see text);
Duration: Instantaneous;
Saving Throws: None;
Chakra Resistance: Yes;
Chakra Cost: 4 + 1 per additional spine.

Using this technique, the user creates thin needles out of water to shoot out and make his targets into porcupines. He may make a ranged attack with every spine to target any creature within range (each creature can be targeted more than once with the spines). If an attack hits, it deals 10 points of water damage. Because of the speed of the needles, the user gains a Kawarimi Defense 1 against his attacks.

If the user is immersed in water, he may discard the Half Seals component, but the skill threshold and perform DC increase by 5. Once the technique is over, every spine dissolves into water.

Material Focus: A tiny (50 ml. per spine; equals .050 liters) source of water or other non-poisonous liquid nearby.
