Water Breathing Jutsu

[Wazima]

Name: Water Breathing Jutsu
Rank: C (A)
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Water (None)
Description: A common jutsu used by ninja, though water ninja learn it much earlier and with greater ease than other ninja. Water ninja learn this jutsu at Genin or C-Rank, while others learn it at Jounin or A-Rank. Water ninja treat this as a Water Style Jutsu, while others treat it as non-elemental.

This jutsu allows a ninja to use chakra to extract oxygen from water and to block too much water from entering the lungs by forming a barrier around the bodily openings (nose, mouth, skin pores, etc.) This jutsu negates certain water jutsu that rely on suffocation to kill.
