A repost of my previous Hatsu, Entropic Enhancement, with several new modifications, liimitations and a new sub-hatsu.

Name: Entropic Enhancement (Explosive Aura)

Nen Type: Enhancement

Description: This hatsu is essentially the same as what is seen during Water Divination by an enhancer, with the exception that this version is exceptionally lethal. When the users Nen comes into contact with a body of water, they can cause the volume to increase exponentially without releasing a large amount of thermal energy. If the user is powerful enough, they can increase the volume so fast that an Entropic Explosion occurs(Gon was able to do something similar to this, albeit on a much smaller scale, during his water divination test). Normally this only takes place during water divination, however, this hatsu is able to do the same thing to living tissue, including humans.

Once the user comes into physical contact with their opponent, they are able to increase the volume of their body fluids at an extremely fast rate, ripping apart their cells and body tissue and causing them to literally explode. The user is also able to expand their aura away from their body in order to encompass their opponent and reach the same effect, without having to get close to them. The aura would be concealed with In, meaning that any onlookers and even Nen users would simply see the other person exploding without the user doing attacking their opponent in the first place. In most cases, the users Nen would be strong enough to cause an explosion in opponents that are only using Ten as a defensive technique.

The hatsu isn't omnipotent however, and has several disadvantages. For one, the Hatsu is not inherently powerful enough to kill an opponent competent at Ken/Ren, as their Nen will not only have to penetrate their opponents aura, but the expansion of water may not have enough force to cause an explosion to occur. Instead, the opponent would appear to quickly inflate before "popping" so to speak, however, this would only be the case if the opponent were to stand still the entire time they were being attacked, which is a highly unlikely scenario. Nevertheless, blood vessels in the eyes, ears and nose may still burst under the extreme pressure if more aura is not focused on those areas. The Hatsu would also require a large amount of Nen to activate in order to do any significant damage to a powerful opponent, putting them extremely at risk if their attack were to miss, especially if they were to extend their aura away from their body while doing so.

Limitations:

-None-
