if you where a ninja, what kind of techniques would you use?

I like shiki fuujin in the 4th hokage combined with taijun kagebunshin of Naruto. shiki fuujin is where you can get the soul of your enemy and if u make many bunshin, then that is the no. of the persons that could be killed by yourself. So you can use all akatsuki with that. :)

me, i like to learn the technique of moving fast (and jumping over trees and houses). sometimes, i can really be as slow as a tortoise, specially when i'm feeling down or just plain being lazy. if i can do my chores really, really fast, i have a lot of spare time in my hands. i can surf the net, go shopping, cook a real meal (no more fast food), heck i think i can squeeze time to train my dogs where to actually whiz and poop.

i want to have a water-based techniques and i can use it as both defense and offense. i want to have control over aerial moisture and use to create a very thick mist so that i can hide at my opponents and attack them without noticing me. hehe! i know i sound like a coward but that's one of my tactics. as for offensive mode, i will create various weapons made of water such as shuriken, whip, or kunai and has the same effect just like the conventional weapons (it will be very helpful to me just in case i run out of weapons) lastly, i will create a huge water bombs as my last resort attack. the impact of the explosions will be the same as deidara's so that the victim will die of drowning and suffocation haha!

I would have water techniques, i would have power to dissapear and then appear near some source of water

I would use somewhat mid to long range jutsu, something like Suiton: Water Pressure Bullet. I really dislike genjutsu, since all your doing is wasting precious chakra in the hopes the enemy won't notice you. If i had to use a close to point blank range jutsu, it would be Rasengan or chakra enhanced taijutsu!

well me i want water combined with wind and maybe earth so i can combine and make wood element and use wind & water for ice element
