"We are judged by what we cannot change..."
Kaede watched as Rachael aimlessly wandered around the training grounds. It seemed like she was giving an attempt to better learn her surroundings- Kaede did not interfere, and instead, sat where he was, allowing himself to restore chakra. He simply waited there, until Rachael would approach him. It seemed in her nature that she would continuously warn himself before using any more strength than necessary. This, of course, would simply prolong the battle, but that wasn't a bother- in fact, it gave himself an advantage.
After approximately ten minutes passed, Kaede noticed that Rachael was approaching. He couldn't sense her chakra, as, she had none, but there was seemingly some other form of "energy", so to speak, inside of her. He stood up, and, as he had deciphered from her nature, she began to give him another warning. Kaede, again, simply looked at her blankly as she spoke- her words honestly didn't bother him. If he were to die, so be it- it wouldn't have happened without reason.
Kaede watched as she, once again, launched another physical attack with her fist. This time, there was a black type of energy surrounding it- it looked almost as if it were chakra, but it clearly wasn't. This was interesting. Kaede stood completely still, until she got into moderately close proximity. He then cast a series of handsigns, of which, were those belonging to the Ice Dome technique. In an instant, a large dome rose over, not Kaede, but Rachael. He planned to trap her in it, and continue to stall her, and wait until she exerted even more force than she currently had been. He would strategically make her do so, and if she hadn't, she would simply be trapped and under Kaede's control for however long she decided to wait for.
As the dome of ice formed completely, becoming a semi-sphere above ground, and a semi-sphere below ground that wasn't visible to the eye, Kaede prepared his next sequence of jutsu. He began melting a circle of the snow in the dome. Ram, Horse, Bird. In a sudden, a large tornado made of water rose inside the Ice Dome- Rachael standing in the eye of it. The Tornado of Water technique was the weakest of these style techniques, however, it still had enough velocity to and mass to knock a normal human unconscious if they attempted to escape it. Next, Kaede cleared a circle of snow out of the way, outside of this tornado. With his mind, he now created a massive tornado of wind around this one, with extreme speed and slashing power- the same jutsu he had used to stop Rachael's cero in mid-air. Lastly, Kaede froze over a circle of snow around the previous Great Slashing Tornado. Bird, Snake, Monkey, Horse, Dog. Suddenly, two large black ice dragons rose from the frozen circle, whose eyes and mouths glowed in a blood red shade. They began intertwining themselves into the third, and last, tornado that Kaede had intended on ensnaring Rachael in. Now, she was encircled with three tornadoes of massive power- Tornado of Water, Great Slashing Tornado, and the Black Dragon Blizzard techniques, and lastly, all enclosed inside of the Yuki Clan's secret Ice Dome method.

»Jutsu :
¤ Mizu Tatsumaki [Tornado of Water] ~ C Rank
In the Mizu Tatsumaki technique, the user utilizes water to create a spinning water vortex around a target [generally the user]. The water vortex acts both as a barrier and an attack mechanism. The power of the vortex is enough to knock an opponent unconscious. Due to the liquid properties of this technique, most projectile weapons are considered useless against it, or acting with it.
¤ Wind Release: Great Slashing Tornado [No translation] ~ B Rank
In Wind Release: Great Slashing Tornado, the user creates a minor tornado that ensnares a target [generally the opponent]. The target will find themselves trapped inside the eye of this tornado, unharmed by the winds but unable to move without touching the tornado. If they attempt to escape they will find the swirling winds will push them back inside the center, with several cuts and scratches due to the ferocity of the winds. Due to the high speeds of the wind, it increases the ability of projectile weapons, increasing their speed, power, and ability to wound or kill multiple times.
¤ Frozen Soul [No Translation] ~ C Rank
When a user has an intense affinity for the elemental nature, Hyōton, they will gain a boost in both speed and maneuverability when in the snow. Because of this, the user's Hyōton techniques generally also cost 1/2 chakra because they does not have to create the solidified liquid themselves.
¤ Atmosphere [No Translation] ~ B Rank
If a Hyōton user possesses immense Hyōton chakra, it begins to lightly snow/hail whenever the user is in an area. Furthermore, when the user first enters an area, the ground is coated with a thin layer of ice and snow. This technique is passive. By standing still and holding a handseal, the user can decrease or increase the amount of snow that is falling.
¤ Ice Release: Ice Dome [No translation] ~ B Rank
In Ice Release: Ice Dome, the user can quickly create a dome of solid ice around any given target [generally to act as a defense]. It is strong enough to withstand the assault of many explosive tags at once, remaining practically undamaged.
¤ Hyōton: Sōryū Bōfūsetsu [Ice Release: Black Dragon Blizzard] ~ A Rank
After performing the needed handsigns, the user will thrust forward their arm, gathering ice and water to their fist. In the same motion, the user will send a coiling torrent of liquid black ice, whose rotation results in the front of the blizzard to take on the appearance of a dragon's head, at their target. Aside being extremely cold, able to freeze nearby bodies of water, the blizzard sustains incredible ramming force. This technique requires an existing supply of water or ice in order to form.
