Water Release: Jaws of the Abyss

This technique is known as one of the highest examples of Water Release. This jutsu was created by Iro Kuguari to demonstrate the full destructive power of pressurized water. After weaving the necessary hand signals, the user manipulates their chakra to gather as much water as they can within the space around then. While doing as such, they channel the water into the space around their hands, increasing its mass without disrupting its volume until it turns a near-black-blue color. The user then places their hands in front of their face and releases the sphere. The sphere is about the size of a small water balloon and travels extremely fast. Upon impact with the target, the sphere only deals a force of about 200 pounds per square inch. However, the sphere then explodes into the shape of the head of a sea with many rows of massive fangs, and the mouth snaps shut upon the target. The second impact explodes with the force of upwards to two-thousand tons per square inch, enough force to crush the target and anything around them, and create a violent flood that can demolish buildings, uproot trees, and tear into the earth. The bite of the monster head also creates an intense flash of light from the friction.

To even utilize this jutsu, one must have a great reserve of chakra and excellent chakra control. Without these properties, the jutsu will be stabilized properly and will become less potent than it should be. In worst cases, the jutsu can backfire, instantly killing the user from the water pressure or at least severely wounding them. A great amount of water is needed as well, unless the user can use Water Release ninjutsu without pre-existing water sources. Iro Kuguari, who was a Water Release master, had to drain a massive lake to use this technique and had to rest for more than several days afterward. It is also possible to use a smaller volume of water and increase its pressure with chakra, though it is more exhausting. Lastly, building up the needed amount of water can take several minutes at most, making this jutsu a hindrance in close-range combat.
