I think he would last for the whole battle. And not quite for the defensive manner - what kind of elements do you think you can generally avoid with such a jutsu (escaping into the ground)?
Good. After burrowing deep into the earth, there is also no trace of you left behind on the surface. This move is EXCELLENT in escaping most elements except for Lightning and some Water moves. Otherwise, keep in mind that you can travel through the Earth with this move and escape jutsus too.
(Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Hiding like a mole technique
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user changes earth into fine sand by channeling chakra into it, allowing the user to dig through it like a mole. While underground one can sense what is happening on the surface and use the information to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. Once can also hide deep in the ground, escaping to a depth where the enemy cant reach. It also appears that after digging, the ground can be returned to its original state, leaving no trace of where the user entered the earth.
Now...
I want you now to begin sending your Earth Chakra throughout the ground. I will place a clone several meters away from you. When your chakra reaches my clone, control the earth around my clone to channel upwards, thus creating spikes around my clone to stab him. O_O
I channel my chakra into the ground, flowing it into the earth. As my chakra gets close to your clone, I use it to change the form of the earth. Two earth spikes shoot from the ground, the first one was in front that came out really slow and was aimed at its chest. The clone then stumbles backwards and is impaled in the back of the head by the second earth spike.

Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: This technique lets the user create a few rock pillars that will protrude from the ground to skew the target. The rock pillars will even pass through obstacles to reach their target
Now, proceed to place your hands upon the surface of the earth and then sending a violent wave of chakra over it so that you cause a small earthquake.
Describe the uses of this in a battle.
(Hopefully you'll allow me to just kind of roleplay it against some of your shadow clones effectively showing I can use it and know how to use it in battle?)
I kneel to the ground and place my hands palm down on the earth. I flow my chakra into the earth, and force the earth to move and scrape and pull apart. The ground begins to rumble under a nearby clone's feet and it suddenly rips open. I then flow my chakra into the earth again, causing earth spikes to shoot out of the walls, pointing upwards. The clone falls down about a meter before being impaled just below the shoulder and above the thigh, effectively trapping the clone. It has a moment to shout in pain and wiggle some before dispersing.
..O: Congrats on the new... everything? Username and images and stuff xD
I might fall to my death. I could always use chakra control in my feet to stop from falling in, I guess. Or I could close the hole, or jump over it or something. By close I mean cause a flat slab of land to come across it.
Well said, and much like real earthquakes, small ones can also cause tremors and small chasms, upon which you can also utilize to your advantage.
However, remember that this move can only reach to mid range and that when you place your hand upon the ground, it makes you vulnerable for a short amount of time.

Now, do you know Suiton yet? It would be easier to use this jutsu if you did.

Oh. :\ Sorry.
Well, then, this has a similar concept - simply focus Earth chakra into your mouth and then "liquify" it a bit, perhaps with your own saliva. Then proceed to expel the glob of mud at my clone, anywhere on his body as you please.

I focus the chakra in my mouth and kind of roll it around like someone would savor the taste of something and I create earth and expel this now glob of mud all over your clones feet and face, possibly blinding and trapping or incapacitating it.
Perfect! Now, let me draw another scenario.
Say your enemy tossed several weapons at you, particularly ones with explosive tags on it - how might you use this defensively then?

As the explosive tags wizz towards me I quickly concentrate my chakra and form earth in my mouth once again. I proceed to (Let's assume there's 3) spit 3 blobs of mud continuously at all three kunai. The hurdle backwards towards the clone and, like grenades, explode sending shrapnel into the face and body of the cloan who wails before poof. Gone

Description: The user spits a thick globule of mud at the target. If aimed correctly, it can blind the target's vision and choke them. It can also be used to create a sticky patch on the ground.
Now, what do you know of the structure of caves and how you would collapse one?

Well, structurally they aren't too great unless changes by humans (Support beams and such) and Normally earthquakes or explosions can cause cave ins in mines. But I doubt the explosions have to do with this... So, earthquakes?
Silly me. I know what you're asking about. Cave-ins! If you dislodged a weak rock in the roof of a cave, tons of rocks could fall down and crush people or separate them from the outside.
(Doton: Iwa Yado Kuzushi) - Earth Release: Stone Lodging Destruction
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Descripton: This technique allows the ninja to control nearby stone and rock. This can be especially useful if in a cave or a stone lodging. The technique can loosen the rocks and cause them to come raining down on whomever is trapped inside.
Now, forgive my ignorance, but do you know Suiton yet?
Woops, sorry. Too many students, can't keep track of em' all.
Mkay, much like the mudshot technique earlier, proceed to release a flow of earth chakra throughout the earth so that it surges towards my clone, throwing him off balance.
How might you think adding more Suiton chakra to this would affect the technique?
Also, why is it important to knock your opponent off balance in a fight?
