As a bonus action, Waraji 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 Waraji casts this Jutsu while submerged in a liquid, the Jutsu carries him to the surface of the liquid at a rate of 60 feet per round. Additionally, his movement speed increases by half its total (rounded down), and attacks of opportunity against him have disadvantage. Lion Combo (2 Chakra). The target must attempt a DC 13 Strength saving throw. On a failure, they take 2 ((1d4 + 3) / 2) magical bludgeoning damage and are pushed 20 feet into the air until the end of Waraji's next turn. On a success, they take half as much damage. Amputation Punishment (2+ Chakra). Waraji jumps up to 20 feet in the air. As a bonus action no later than the end of your next turn, he falls to the ground and makes a katana attack. His critical threshold increases by 1 for this attack, which he may increase by 1 for every 3 additional chakra spent to a maximum critical threshold of 18-20. Swift Strike Knockout (2 Chakra). When Waraji makes a melee attack that deals bludgeoning damage against a creature that is not a construct, undead, or elemental, if twice the attack's damage would reduce the target to 0 hit points, they are knocked unconcious for 1 hour or until another creature wakes them as an action, otherwise they take no damage. Iai-Nuki (2-4 Chakra). As a bonus action while Waraji is prone, or as a reaction when he falls prone for 2 additional chakra, immediately stops being prone and makes a katana attack.

[Source]. Long ago, Waraji and his partner Zori were samurai-in-training within the legendary Land of Iron. Despite training most of his life in the arts and philosophies of the samurai, Waraji's lust for battle and death resulting in his teacher denying any increase in rank. Leaving the country as ronin, the two used the reputation of the Land of Iron to secure numerous jobs to fulfill their desire. One way or another, they ended up in the Land of Waves acting as the personal guards of Gato, a business magnate using his weight to keep the small country under his thumb, which Tazuna, a local bridge builder, threatened. When Gato questioned Zabuza Momochi's failed assassination attempt on Tazuna due to the efforts of Team Kakashi, he was confronted by Haku, who nearly crushed his arm, resulting in Waraji and Zori attacking Haku, only to be momentarily held hostage by their own swords. With their prime assassin bedridden, the two were ordered to kidnap Tazuna's daughter as a hostage, which they succeeded in. However, in the final fight between Zabuza and Kakashi, when Gato Company arrived to finish off any survivors rather than pay Zabuza his due or allow any of the exhausted Team Kakashi to live, Zabuza flew into a rage, killing Gato and many of his men before succumbing to his wounds. Along with the other survivors of Gato Company, Waraji and Zori were soon beaten and tied up by Naruto and Kakashi before being left in the custody of the Land of Waves. However, before the authorities could arrive, the two ronin escaped, making one final failed attempt to seize control of the island before fleeing yet another country. A few years later, the two decided to stop running, making contact with the Hidden Mist Village. After a long period of deliberation, they were eventually brought on as genin shortly before the Fourth Shinobi World War, where they became part of the Short- and Mid-Range Battle Division.
