That's when the ground around her evaporates into the air, rushing up as indiviual grains rather than large clumps. Her plan swiftly becomes clear - she's using it to give herself cover, but it's also absorbing any stray water she can get it to come in contact with. Hopefully, it'll work with water clones too and reduce the number of Kisames she has to deal with to one once more. ]
