Yūgure Art: Crushing Vortex

Utilizing this water-based Yūgure technique the user is able to conjure up a fierce vortex of water that surrounds and binds a target. The water in question can be water in the immediate environment or created by the user, though the latter requires a greater amount of chakra. The weight of the water involved is enough to immobilize most opponents, but this can be further adjusted by the user to the degree that this technique could potentially crush an opponent. While this technique can be maintained for a significant amount of time, it requires that the user is focused completely on the task. Rika, a half-Yūgure, has displayed the ability to use this technique through the use of her water clones in order to remain fully in the fight. It should be noted that it takes a few seconds for the water to form around a target, giving opponents a chance to evade the technique altogether.
