The dog has advantage on an attack roll against a creature if at least one of the beast's allies is within 5 feet of the creature and the ally isn't incapacitated. ACTIONS Multiattack. The dog makes two attacks with its unarmed strikes. Unarmed Strike. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) piercing damage. Cable Strike (0-1 Chakra). Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 20 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (2d4 + 3) piercing damage.

Shadow of the Dancing Leaf (3 Chakra). As a bonus action, the dog gains the ability to move across any liquid surface— such as water, acid, mud, snow, quicksand, or lava— as if it were harmless solid ground (creatures crossing molten lava can still take damage from the heat) for 1 minute. If the dog casts this Jutsu while submerged in a liquid, the Jutsu carries it to the surface of the liquid at a rate of 60 feet per round. Additionally, their movement speed increases by half its total (rounded down), and attacks of opportunity against them have disadvantage. REACTIONS Substitution (3+ Chakra). When the dog is hit by an attack and would take damage, they decrease the damage by 9 (1d10 + 4) and teleports up to 15 ft. in any direction to an unoccupied space, during which they take the Hide action. A generic object is left in their place and they take any remaining damage from that attack. The dog can reduce this damage by an additional 6 (1d10) points per chakra point spent over the initial cost.
