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.
Tell me now, what do you know about Doton ?

With utmost respect for his sensei...genma starts to explain..
Earth is one of the basic 5 elements of the nature. The ninjutsu involving Earth is called as "Doton" or "Earth Release" or "Earth style" . The doton element is common among the shinobis of Iwagakurae.
The doton is strong against suiton because earth can stop the flow of water and can easily absorb it.eg. A large wave of water can be easily stopped by a Earth style wall.
Doton is week against lightning because the earth is a very good conductor of electricity and so raiton attacks will be super effective against doton.
Doton can be used in conjugation with katon to increase the damage and overall efficiency of the jutsu.eg How hiruzen used a doton jutsu with a katon jutsu to make it super effective while fighting against Orochimaru.
Doton is the component of the following kekkei genkais:
Explosion
Wood
lava
kekkei touta:
Dust
prominent users:Mu,Ohnoki,Hashirama,kitsuchi,Yamato.

Kakuzu listens attentively to his students recollection of Earth release, before letting out a sigh of exasperation. Her explanation contained many of the essential points, but did not explain them in enough depth. He cancels the technique anyway, she was now neck-deep in the swamp and moments away from being full submerged. He extends his arm towards her and effortlessly lifts her out of the swamp.
"Far too basic, but I guess your explanation will suffice. 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.

(Doton No Jutsu) - Earth Release Technique
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.
(Doton: Gansetsukon) - Earth Release: Rock Section Cane
Now, break off the pillar you have raised from the ground and focus your chakra into it, utilizing your chakra to sharpen the blunt construct of rock into serrated spear which can be used as a melee or ranged weapon. All the while, make sure to maintain its form, so it doesn't crumble as you attempt to morph its structure. Once you're content with your spear, toss it towards the nearby targets and aim to strike the bull's eye.
Key points: None.

Description: I now concentrate and place my hand on the ground and start to mold my doton chakra.now I use the molten doton chakra to forcefull make a blunt pillar from the ground.
Advantages: Can be used to create Earth based projectiles. can be used to create pillars and which can be used for a aerial boost. because of this it will be easy to dodge incoming jutsu of lower magnitude.
Disadvantages: Cant be used to evade higher rank jutsu's. when the user molds the chakra an creates objects he is totally open for enemy to attack.
Description: I now break off the pillar that I have created and focus my doton chakra into it. By focusing I make the blunt edge to a sharp one and modify the pillar like a spear which can be used as a projectile weapon or melee weapon. I now throw the spear I have created to the dartboad and guess what? I got a Bulls eye.
Advantages: A very quick method to create weapons and make it for the battle. very useful inital method in any battles. can be used to make multiple weapons at the same time.
Disadvantages: The weapon made will not be that powerful, It may get destroyed by a powerful attack
