Hidden Aqueous Hands Technique

A technique created to effectively render an opponent defenceless to the user's will, this execution of the Water Release was among the first techniques created by Kenta Kanata under Hougou's tutelage. After forming hand signs, Kenta forms a Water Release Clone in front of him. Kenta is then able to manipulate the water underneath his feet and his opponent's feet, craftily linking his opponent to his Water Clone. At this point, any movement the clone makes, will be also forced onto the victim. While this link is established, the real Kenta is then easily able to burst forward at his restrained enemy and hack him/her down without any resistance. Kenta is only able to use this technique however, when there is a large volume of water beneath his feet, such as a river, or pond and such; or if another Water Release ninjutsu had provided sufficient surrounding water for the technique's execution. The technique can also be nullified if the Water Clone is destroyed, as shown by Shin Hayata, who managed to destroy the clone with a clone of his own. The clone is also incapable of harming the opponent directly, as any injury it causes unto itself will cause it to disperse, hence only making it useful for controlling the enemy's body.

Trivia

 * Kenta was inspired to create such a technique after witnessing his sensei dispose of three thieves with a similar demonstration of the Water Release.
