Kakuzu silently emerges from the ground directly behind you without disturbing the ground in the slightest, before suddenly placing his hand upon your shoulder and whispering in your ear.
Doton is one of the 5 chakra natures. By focusing chakra one has the ability to manipulate the earth that surrounds them. Doton is very versatile in its techniques. It can be used to create shields that are as hard as rock or deadly projectiles. It can also be used for concealment and transportation. All of this is done by changing the earths form into a desired state such as dirt, rock, or mud. The hand seal most commonly associated with Doton is snake.
As a chakra nature Doton has the ability to absorb water. This makes Doton advantageous against Suiton. Doton is weak against Raiton. This is because Ration techniques can easily break the earth apart. Doton is the base for many powerful ninjutsu forms such as Yōton, Bakuton, and Mokuton.
Kakuzu listens attentively to his students recollection of Earth release, taking note that his student has seen a few battles or has done some through research.
"Not bad, your current level knowledge on Doton is something to work with. Mostly correct, however the majority of Doton techniques do not absorb water, they simply dissipate or block it, whilst passing through water itself. I'll give you a run down of all of the basic elements (especially Doton), to flesh out your understanding. Make sure to commit this to memory, it will be useful knowledge for the future. Once you've read and understood the following, we will continue."
Earth Release is often considered the element of sturdiness and durability. Unlike other elements which come and go with time, it is an ever eternal presence in the environment which endures all types of weather regardless of how harsh conditions become. Earth can be used as a shield or blockade defensively to dissipate the force of powerful waves of water or non-cutting gusts of wind. It can withstand great heats, acting as a heat sink but also as a physical barrier to prevent weapons passing through. Its strong against water, its natural ability to prevent water from passing through it whilst passing through water itself is a reason for this. However its weak against lightning. The lightning conducted along the earth causes it to break up, lose its natural composition and break down due to the penetrative abilities of Raiton. Doton can either be used in this solid rocky form or its adhesive mud-like variant, granting the element further versatility. As well as the conventional uses of the element, the mud variant can be used to bind opponents in place, clash with other elemental jutsus or be used in many effective combinations. The mud-variant is most commonly used along with Fire to form pseudo-lava (molten mud), making for a very dangerous substance.
Along with Suiton, its versatility stems from the state of matter it naturally occurs in. Due to having physical substance, Doton can be shaped into various structures from defensive walls to jagged spikes, from an earth dragon to a single pillar of earth. Furthermore, in terms of terrain-based advantage, Doton can be used to manipulate the ground beneath and around the opponent, allowing for limitless potential in creating successful combos. I like to think of the element as the perfect balance between offensive, defensive and supplementary usage, as no confines exist on what the user can create.
Wind Release is the element that allows us to create and manipulate wind. When you think of wind you think of something that is fast, free flowing, unpredictable, and strong. In the Narutoverse and in our RP, wind release has a variety of different properties which makes it versatile in its own right. For one, we have the ability to create long and short powerful gusts of flowing wind. Mainly these techniques that are designed to provide resistance against oncoming attacks, reversing the trajectory of weaponry, etc. We can also create short concentrated/compressed bursts of wind that give a pseudo solid form which can be used for blunt force or strong impacts. These would mainly be offensive in nature. There is also vacuum or suction power that can be generated, drawing objects in for close combat or sucking away the oxygen for suffocation. However, one of the more prominent abilities of wind release that we’ve come to know from the Narutoverse is the powerful cutting power that it possesses. Mainly from characters like Naruto, Asuma, and Sora, the wind nature has been shown to be able to slice and cut through things like butter. Wind is the movement of many gases in the air, though we’ve been shown to manipulate just the air itself and call it wind release by comparison due to the relationship.
Water is the most calm and free-flowing elements. These characteristics dictate its nature, making it useful in combat due to the fluidity and intense lack of control that is required to utilize it. Lightning and Fire take extreme control, but manipulation of water takes calmer movements and so controlling it comes more naturally. While its the calmest element, it can also become one of the most destructive. Putting a large amount of force behind of wave gives it power that can't be paralleled by all the other elements. In terms of scale, Water has the highest potential to be the "best" element, a clear testament of this is Kisame of the Akatsuki. Water comes in three main forms: normal water, sticky water and oily flammable water.
Lightning Release is the use of high frequency and is the most fleeting of all the elements. It arguably takes the most control due to its dangerous nature and the lethality it possess. The interaction of the molecules within it, further contribute to its level of instability, requiring the user to take much more care in handling this element compared to the others. Fundamentally, its the control over raw streams of electricity which can be tamed with the right control, it relates most to the Fire element due to its destruction if not contained or used properly and the high level of self-control someone requires to manipulate it correctly. One common misconception is that Lightning release travels as fast as natural lightning, when in reality Lightning is far slower than its naturally occurring counterpart due the user taking control of/taming the lightning. The element itself occurs in three main forms: Normal Lightning, Plasma and pale-blue pillars which emit electricity.
Fire Release is the usage of superheated chakra to create flames and heat-intensive attacks. Its created through channeling Katon chakra to the user's lungs and exhaling the built chakra in various forms. Katon is most commonly used in its fire-based form, but it can also take the shape of a plume of superheated ash or a misty flammable gas. In terms of raw potential, its considered the least versatile element as it excels in offensive capabilities, lacks in supplementary usage and is ill-suited to use as a defensive element. Despite this, Katon is the most ferocious element to contend with due to its sheer raw power. The heat of the element makes it capable of reducing earthen structures to molten mud, the parasitic nature of it means it preys on the oxygen within wind-based attacks to supplement the flames and even against its elemental superior, large-scale Katon techniques are capable of reducing large bodies of water to scorching mist of dense steam. The Katon element has little usage outside of destruction, to a certain degree its the hardest elemental nature to tame due to its sporadic and uncontrollable nature.
Genkai listens earnestly to Kakuzu teachings. She is intrigued by the versatility of Doton. She also takes note of the other chakra natures and their behavior.
Kakuzu, by chance are you using some type of chakra typing technique? Your speed with the keyboard is quite impressive. I can see how Doton can be interpreted as the most creative chakra nature. To shape the earth itself is to shape your mind. I now understand that in most instances Doton is used to block Suiton techniques as opposed to absorbing them. What I don't understand is how and where to focus my chakra for Doton? This I hope to learn under your guidance.
Genkai stands up and stares at Kakuzu awaiting the training ahead.

Descripton: Creates small pillars of earth, small tools, and small shields of earth
Alright, come over here and place both of your palms on the ground, before focusing your doton chakra into it. Mold your chakra and utilize it to change the structure of the ground itself to forcefully cause a single fairly blunt pillar of earth to rise out of the ground in between the space of your laid out palms. Take care, you could very well impale either of your hands if you lose concentration, even for a second. This technique can create nearly any earth-based construct you desire, as long as its small in magnitude and size. Its best used for making pillars, small tools, weapons ad shields.
Key points: One of the most useful lower ranking techniques. Its used quite commonly, due to its sheer versatility in battle. People tend to use it to create a pillar beneath them for aerial elevation, but when doing this make sure you specify that the pillar is blunt and will cause no damage when propelling you up into the air. Dodging via movement is sometimes more Charka-efficent than direct technique clashes, so always make sure to assess the situation correctly. Never use this jutsu to evade large scale attacks e.g. S-Rank Fire walls and streams.

Genkai places her hands on the ground in front of her. She squints her eyes as she begins to concentrate and build up chakra in her body. With a mental image in her head she transforms the built up chakra to doton chakra. She releases the chakra though chakra points in her hand while imagining a single pillar in her mind. The chakra becomes more focused and the earth begins to slowly change between her palms. The dirt particles clump together and a small mass of earth rises from the ground. It largely resembles a pillar but is jagged around the edges. Genkai slowly raises the pillar from the ground.

With the pillar floating in the air Genkai uses her Doton chakra to shape the pillar. She does this by shaving the earth from the pillar. She does this from top to bottom in a counterclockwise fashion. When she finishes the pillar has changed shaped. The pillar now closely resembles a staff but it's cross section is not uniform across it's length. Genkai grabs the staff with her right hand and throws it at the target in front of her. She misses the bulls eye by 0.1 in.
I will hit it perfectly next time. How was that Kakuzu?
Soon after you throw the earthen spear into the distance, Kakuzu focuses his fuuton chakra into the air around it before altering its flight path and sending it back towards you.

Genkai builds up doton chakra in her body. She then performs the rat handseal to further focus the chakra, and releases it into the ground through chakra points in her feet. She uses the doton chakra to mold the earth by imagining 4 walls of rock forming around her sensei. 2 walls or rock appear at the same time on the left and right of Kakuzu. Then another 2 walls of rock again appear on the left and right of Kakuzu directly behind the first walls. The walls on both sides of Kakuzu slam together to form 2 giant walls on either side of him. Genkai slams her palms together and the walls crush Kakuzu.
As the walls of earth rise up around him, Kakuzu extends five meter threaded spikes from his chest, back and arms to effortlessly destroy the rocks before they can encase him.

(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.
For this next technique, I want you to release your doton chakra into the ground below via your feet before utilizing that same chakra to alter the very consistency of the ground beneath you. Change the earth to a sandy-like composition, allowing you to dig through it as if you were a mole, hence the name of the jutsu. Whilst you move around underground, you must maintain this jutsu or suffer being crushed the moment you cease it. As you go underground, return the ground to its original appearance, leaving no trace of you entering the earth.
Key Points: Hmm...where to begin ? At first, this may seem like the ultimate evasion tactic, but do not be fooled. If your opponent sees you go underground, senses your presence underground and etc, you're finished. Jutsus which manipulate the earth itself e.g. sink holes and forming swamps, will leave you trapped beneath the earth's surface and most likely crushed/buried one way or another. Using this technique against Doijutsu users is more or less a no go. The same applies to sensors, the Kiyoshi and Binkan. Always make sure you know of your opponent's abilities, before attempting such a risky move. When I first started out, I died three times in a row trying to use this jutsu xD.
However, let's say the opponent doesn't see you go underground for whatever reason e.g. they lower the ground around you, severing the sight between you two. You could go underground and launch a successful surprise attack, killing them. You just have to weigh up the benefits and risks of attempting such a move.

Genkai stands in aw of Kakuzu's mastery of the earth. She is also amazed he managed to make a clone so quickly and so secretively. Genkai stares at the clone and listens to Kakuzu's instructions.

Damage Points: N/A
Description: This displacement technique creates a thick mist to spring forth by lifting up some water from either a pre-existing source or expelled from their mouth, then goes in and out of sight at will from within the pearly-white realm. The mist's thickness is controlled by the amount of chakra kneaded into it. It can't fool the Byakugan, but, due to the mist being created with the user's chakra, any Sharingan and Rinnegan-user will see the mist coloured by their opponent's chakra, which will effectively hide the user from the dōjutsu.
Note: Can be created through releasing from mouth or manipulating a nearby water source.
Genkai builds up the chakra in her body. She visualizes the free flowing nature of water in her mind effectively changing the chakra into suiton chakra. Once the chakra is built up to a peak in her body Genkai releases it through chakra points in her mouth. The chakra saps moisture from Genkai's mouth and turns it into a thick mist that surrounds Kakuzu and his clone.
With that taken care of I should be able to conceal my movements.

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.
Genkai stands mid range from Kakuzu's clone and builds up chakra in her body. She then visualizes the chakra as being strong and durable like the earth. When the chakra reaches it's peak Genkai releases it through chakra points in her feet. While she releases it she imagines the ground turning into sand. The ground below Genkai turns into sand and she begins to sink like she is caught in quick sand. Soon she disappears below the ground. Genkai is now 7 m below the ground. She uses her doton chakra to mold the earth above her back to it's original form. Kakuzu's clone seems to be completely still but is swaying slightly as he breathes. This causes minute vibrations in the ground that Genkai can sense. This allows her to lock onto the location of the clone. Maintaining a constant flow of Doton chakra around her body she begins to dig forward through the ground. The chakra around her constantly turns the earth into sand. After a short time she is directly below Kakuzu's clone.

She then drags the clone into the ground effectively immobilizing them in the earth. Genkai jumps out of the ground and stands in the place the clone was just at.

Description: The user will concentrate and release their chakra into the ground to create a small tremer that can result in harming the enemy target.
Now, I want you to focus your doton chakra into the ground to create a small tremor, barely an earthquake which shakes the ground. Use it to cause my clone in the not too far distance lose balance and fall onto the ground. The damage inflicted by this technique is minimal, so he should be alright. If you're wondering how to counter this technique, your best option is not countering it all. By the time you realize the ground is shaking, you'll lose your balance and possibly fall over. What harm is there in falling over ? Simply dust yourself and get back up. Do not expend chakra unless its necessary.
Key Points: Despite its low rank and minimal effects, this technique can be very useful in battle depending on how you decide to use it. If you're opponent is running at you or using a technique which requires them to run at you e.g. Rasengan, Chidori and etc, using this technique will cause them to lose their balance and potentially fall over. You can counter higher ranking techniques with a simple C-Rank.

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
Once my clone falls onto the ground, before he can recover I want you to continuing focusing your chakra into the ground. Mold the chakra present in the ground to create a two sharp pillars of rock, using them to emerge beneath both of his feet and skewer the region up to his knees.
Key Points: The most important thing about this technique is knowing how to counter it. Techniques like this generate small vibrations that you can "feel" if you're standing on the ground. The moment you feel these vibrations, you're free to counter. The higher ranked the technique, the more intense the vibrations. At best, this technique would cause moderate vibrations, but it causes disturbance in the ground nonetheless.
Another nice way I learnt from Better to release Genjutsus is using this technique. If you're unsure and new to Genjutsu in our rp, basically when you're cast in one, you need to release it through a variety of methods. Inflicting pain on yourself is one of the methods, the higher ranked the Genjutsu, the more pain you need to inflict to dispel it. When you realize a Genjutsu, whether it paralyzes you or not, channel your doton chakra into the ground and cause a single spike of earth to emerge. Angle the spike the depending on how much pain you want to inflict.
If you're breaking a A-Rank or below gen, angle the spike to strike into your thigh or another part of your non-dominant leg.
If you're breaking S-Rank gen (and have no other options), angle the spike to emerge directly beneath one of your legs, to completely crush it up to the knee region. This will keep you standing up and block blood from gushing out of your body.
This method inflicts serious harm on to you and is only recommended if you have no other options. Sometimes this is the best method to use and so its better to take many wounds rather than fail to counter a Genjutsu. Also, this isn't a possible method to use when you're standing on water or a similar terrain. If you have a bio which can heal or take such wounds e.g. Hidan, Kakuzu, a medical shinobi, using Pain to release genjutsu is very tactical indeed. You don't waste a move countering one of their techniques by making full use of your bio's capabilities
Genkai stands mid distance from Kakuzu's clone. She stares at him as she builds up doton chakra in her body. Genkai then releases it into the earth via chakra points in her feet. She visualizes her chakra in two parts colliding with each other like tectonic plates during an earthquake. The ground below the clone starts to tremor. Instantly the clone loses it's balance and falls down.

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.
Alright, now we're going to attempt some mud-based techniques, an interesting variant of the Earth element. Focus your doton chakra into your mouth whilst envisioning the nature of doton. However, imagine the earth with a sticky, thick and liquid-like consistency, as if its been saturated with water or melted down to its molten state but its still devoid of heat. Now look directly at my clone and spit this built chakra at him in the form of a sizable globule of mud, aiming specifically for his eyes. Use it to blind his vision and sever the line of sight between you to.
Key Points: Useful technique to use when you want to block the line of sight between yourself and the opponent e.g. avoiding Eye contact for Genjutsus

The clone suddenly begins to sink a little as the ground below him has been saturated and turned into a river of mud. The clone starts to drift away from Genkai.

The mud created by this technique can also be used as a medium for the Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet technique.
Genkai runs towards the clone and with her doton chakra still built up performs the hand seals Ram → Horse → Dragon. A large dragons head appears from the river of mud below the clone. The head fires 4 mud shots from its mouth aimed directly at the clone. While traveling towards the clone Kakuzu performs a fire jutsu and shoots fire at the mud transforming it into lava. The lava balls hit the clone and it disappears.

Alright, perform this sequence of four handseals before focusing your doton chakra into the ground below, using it to mold the ground beneath my clone. Utilize this chakra to generate multiple pillars of rock from the ground which converge on him, not attacking him but instead coming together to create a bamboo-like thicket of rock. The prison, regardless of whether or not the pillars its made of have sharp edges cannot be used to attack the opponent in any way. This is a purely supplementary/defensive type technique
Key Points: None which are note worthy

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, continue on to focus your doton chakra into the ground, this time manipulating it to alter the structure of the bamboo prison you have just constructed. Loosen the rocks within the individual pillars, causing it to become too fragile to stand up on its own. The rocks will come raining down on top of him, resulting in a moderate cave-in which buries everything inside.
Key Points: Quite the useful jutsu, useful inside of caves and indoor surroundings.
Genkai stands in short range of Kakuzu's clone in a grassy field. Genkai builds up her doton chakra and performs the hand seals Rat → Horse → Dog → Snake. The chakra becomes focused and she releases it through her feet into the ground below. Genkai then uses this chakra to mold the ground around Kakuzu's clone. She visualizes sturdy pillars of earth forming in the ground. The clone starts to feel a tremor and ten 15 ft pillars of rock protrude upwards out of the earth and trap the clone in a circle. The pillars resemble bamboo stalks.

Description: After performing the required hand seals Rat → Horse → Dog → Snake and they then create a large amount of rock pillars from underground. They can then be controlled to surround their opponent and create a bamboo-like thicket of rock.
With the pillars of rock surrounding the clone Genkai continues to release her doton chakra into the earth. She uses this chakra to manipulate the rocks in the pillars. Genkai loosens all the rocks in the pillars at the same time. Quickly the frictional bonds between the rocks are lost and the pillars become unable to support their own weight. The pillars then in one quick instant crumble to the ground and crush the clone. The clone disappears.

Description: The user will first perform the required hand seals Rabbit → Boar → Rat → Horse → Tiger → Snake and then by flowing concentrated chakra from one's palms into the Dragon Veins flowing underground, one can tear the earth apart, creating large chasms by firstly raising the earth in the desired location and then splitting that peice of earth through the center. The length, width, direction, and curve of the chasm are all up to the user. Manipulating the Dragon Veins requires fine chakra control, but if one has such skill, they can use this technique to divide the space between the enemy and their own team in two, destroy enemy camps or defences, and even to attack.
Note: This does not split the earth appart directly to cause opponents to fall in the fissure.

Description: After performing snake hand seal the user slams their hand on the ground. The result is that the ground becomes heavily turned up with chunks of rubble popping out of the ground. This technique is used as a means to distract opponents to either create an escape or follow through with a surprise attack.
To perform this next technique, form the snake handseal before focusing your doton chakra into your dominant hand. Once the chakra is at your hand, strike the ground with your chakra coated hand. With the additional force from the Earth chakra, the ground will be turned up with chunks of rocks and a cloud of dust which will definitely block the vision of your opponent, unless he's a doujutsu user or capable of sensing you via other means.
Key Points: Not a bad jutsu, useful for Taijutsu fights.
