[Water Release: Hard Vortex Water Blade] used water pressure to compress a whirlpool into the shape of a water javelin. The technique could be thrown, and on contact with a target, it would form a waterspout. The range of the waterspout's attack varied with the amount of Chakra used.
[Water Release: Water Dragon Bite Explosion] was an advanced version of Water Dragon Bullet. It used the force of the Water Dragon Bullet to send the enemy flying, then the water dragon split in two and savaged them.
Yamanaka Tohru remembered these two techniques as the Second Hokage's ultimate skills in the Naruto games. Water Dragon Bite Explosion, in particular, was more spectacular than most techniques in Naruto.

"Kid! The old man gave you these?"
"Yeah. Lord Hokage gave me these two techniques along with this letter." As he spoke, Yamanaka Tohru handed Jiraiya the letter too.
Jiraiya skimmed it quickly, then said meaningfully, "This is what the old man should've done!"
Yamanaka Tohru looked at Jiraiya in confusion. He'd assumed the Third Hokage had paid a huge price to give him these techniques. Otherwise, how could Danzo and the two advisors have agreed to reward him, a member of the Hokage's faction,
