Swirling Torrent

This technique allows Rika to flow water release and water based Yūgure chakra simultaneously through a sword. This causes moisture in the air to condense and hover around the blade, though Rika has shown to generate water of her own to compensate for different levels of humidity. As the sword is swung a trail of compressed water is formed, which flows several meters behind the sword in the shape of the aforementioned swing. The user can adjust the length of this water trail and can also fire the arcs of water at will. Such arcs of water can display a cutting potential similar to that of steel blades, but not to the level of wind or lightning techniques, though whether or not the arcs are sharp depends on the user's will. As seen with Rika, user's of this technique can create complex streams of water around themselves effectively creating a makeshift defense and source of chakra infused water for other techniques. When used together with the sword Katakiuchi the arcs of water additionally have the ability drain an opponent's physical energy.
