| abstract | - Similar in form and function to the Hydrification Technique belonging to the Hōzuki clan, this technique involves hydrating the users body with a film coating of water, much akin to the watery, moist skin of actual salamanders. Unlike the Hydrification Technique, the user's body is not liquefied, instead only benefiting from a thin covering of water - an outside "shell". The coating of water itself is not very defensive or protective, being fairly thin. However, defense is not the aim of the technique - supplementing a user's jutsu is. By coating the body with water, a user has access to a very personal source of water to amplify or draw on for other Water Release techniques. However, this technique is not without drawbacks. It is costly in chakra to create and then sustain; as long as the water coats the user's body, it constantly draws upon their chakra source. Left unchecked, the technique will eat through a user's chakra reserves fairly quickly. In addition, the technique offers extremely minimal protection to the user and many techniques can shred through the coating with ease.
