Habaki focuses his earth chakra into the ground and causes a massive earthen golem to rise from the ground at a slow rate, being heavier than usual. As it rises, the mere magnitude of the golem begins to release earthquakes throughout a medium range radius. As the golem has risen, I order it to simply fall forward onto the enemy target. As it is doing so, I focus chakra onto it's exterior and cause it to turn into a flammable substance. Habaki proceeds to throw an explosively burning kunai that detonates on the back of the Golem, causing it to instantly ignite into a massive substance of hellish flames.Kakuzu nods towards Habaki and proceeds to instruct him on how to use his techniques.
Activate Roar of the Dwarves and Scales of Judgement. Create a heavy golem from the ground by using the abilities of SoJ. RotD will mean the golem's surfacing will produce an earthquake with a massive magnitude, throwing anyone (including you) within mid-range off balance. Instruct the golem to topple towards me and as it falls convert the exterior of the creature into a dense, mud-like substance. It can be slippery, sticky or flammable depending on the combo you wish to create. Ask any questions you may have about the usage of any of the jutsus.
(Doton: Tsuba no Fumou Gama) – Earth Release: Saliva of the Acrid Toad
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This technique is the brother technique to 'Water Release: Sweat of the Bloated Pig'. The user will focus their doton chakra into a nearby construct of solid earth before converting either its rocky exterior or interior into a thick, dense swamp (similar in composition to Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld). The newly formed fluid will exhibit one of the following properties: adhesiveness, slipperiness or volatility (flammable). Against certain techniques (E.g. Fist Rock Technique or Earth Armour), the user can convert the exterior either into a glue-like substance to bind the opponent to their own technique even when they wish to shed it or convert the interior into a bulky mass of swamp, so the technique becomes drastically heavier and acts as an effective anchor mechanism. Alternatively, the user can use this to cause the hilt of earthen weapons to secrete a very slippery substance which makes it impossible to hold onto the said weapon(s). Unlike Swamp of the Underworld, the released swamp can be quite flammable in composition, meaning it will readily ignite and burst into a maelstrom of flame if struck by fire or unfocused lightning (after its fully formed). To use this on one's own techniques (or substances devoid of chakra) requires no contact with the target substance, simply the use of the Dog Handseal. To use this on the opponent's techniques requires direct contact with the target substance (in similar manner to the Added/Light Weight Earth techniques). Similar to other doton techniques, the formation of the swamp can be offset by channeling an unfocused current of lightning into the affected earthen construction.
Note: Can only be used three times per battle
Note: Can only be Taught by Negative Knight
Note: Cannot be used on consecutive turns
Note: Can only be used on Earth Release Techniques

(Doton: Kuraitoru no Jajjimento) – Earth Release: Scales of Judgement
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A (+10 chakra cost to techniques if weight is altered)
Damage Points: N/A (up to +10 damage if Weight Added, -10 damage if Weight decreased)
Description: This technique is the daughter technique to both the Added/Light Weight techniques. The user will activate an ability which allows them to infuse earth chakra into their own earth-based techniques (KG/CE variants included e.g. Steel, Crystal, etc) for the following five turns. This ability essentially allows techniques used by the user to be created with a weight gain or reduction, depending on the user's wish. Techniques can be bolstered in weight to provide them with more force and by extension, their capability to inflict damage (only if feasible), all of this at the cost of their speed (decrease proportional to amount of weight added). Techniques can also be lightened to increase their movement speed proportional to the weight removed, but will inevitably suffer from a significant reduction in damage. However, an increase in damage will only affect techniques moving in downward direction (e.g. Dropping Lid), on all other techniques the weight gain will not affect the amount of damage they inflict. The user can freely switch between the addition or removal of weight for different techniques, so while technique A can be created with a weight increase, technique B can be created with a weight decrease and technique C can be created with its weight left unaltered. Logically, this technique will not work with all techniques but it will work with most (projectiles, some terrain manipulation techniques, etc). Anything utilized from the body or which emerges from the ground can have its weight altered. Techniques which emerge from the earth will surface much more quickly/slowly depending on how their weight was altered. Armours or hardening techniques used will either become bulkier or more maneuverable. Techniques such as Sticky Earth Drop can only have the weight of the mud increased but rather than increasing in weight the mud simply becomes "more solid" and harder in consistency (a partial petrification of sorts) and hence can still benefit from the damage boost if applicable. Infusion techniques which imbue objects/people with a particular property will also alter the weight of the targeted substance (When used in conjunction with the Added/Light Weight techniques, the weight of the object/person can be altered to a higher degree). This technique can only increase or decrease the weight of the affected substances up to scale factor of 10x (ten times above or below its weight). Activating this ability is instant and does not consume any time whatsoever. The reason this technique's activation is instant is because stand alone it does not do anything and its effects are only initiated when the user utilizes another earth-based jutsu.
Note: Lasts three turns
Note: Can only be used thrice per battle
Note: Can only be Taught by Negative Knight
(Doton: Otakebi no Kobito) – Earth Release: Roar of the Dwarves
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Short (Earthquakes can have up to a mid-range area of effect)
Chakra Cost: N/A (+10 chakra cost to earth-based techniques used)
Damage Points: N/A (10-80)
Description: This is the brother technique to Earth Release: Scales of Judgement. The user will focus doton chakra into future earth-based techniques (used by him) which emerge from the ground (KG/CE variants included e.g. Steel, Crystal, etc) to augment the vibrations generated by their surfacing. The added chakra will serve the purpose of enhancing these vibrational tremors into localized earthquakes (Similar to Earth Release: World Shaking). Logically, the magnitude of these earthquakes is highly dependent on the scale/rank of the technique being used. C-Rank earth-based techniques will produce minor quakes which are equivalent in magnitude to those produced in World Shaking, while the potency of earthquakes produced by large scale S-Ranks (such as Earth Release: Mountain Smash) will be so immense that they will imaginably throw anything and anyone in the vicinity off balance for the duration of the technique's emergence. These quakes will only be "localized" and will only affect anyone within and up to mid-range of the emerging technique. Furthermore, augmenting the vibrations produced by techniques is optional and does not have to be applied to every earth-based technique (which emerges from the earth) used. For the most part, these quakes are merely supplementary and only serve to throw the opponent off balance in order to hinder their attempt at countering the technique in question. However, anyone underground and within the area of effect of the earthquake will sustain a degree of damage. This damage will be proportional to the rank of the emerging technique e.g. a D-Rank will inflict 10 damage points while a S-Rank would inflict 80 damage points. If the rank of the emerging technique is greater than the rank of the technique sustaining their underground travel, the opponent will inevitably be crushed underground. The power of earthquakes produced by A-Rank and below techniques will only result in the shaking of the ground while quakes produced by S-Ranks and above will be potent enough to fracture and split apart the ground. However these fractures and splits will be mostly superficial and not be deep enough to trap the average shinobi. Activating this ability is instant and does not consume any time whatsoever. The reason this technique's activation is instant is because stand alone it does not do anything and its effects are only initiated when the user utilizes an earth-based jutsu. This jutsu lasts for three turns and this means its effects can be applied to all earth-based techniques used (which emerge from the earth) within this interval of time. If the user is within the radius of the technique, he will also be affected by the earthquake.
Note: Lasts three turns
Note: Can only be used thrice per battle
Note: Can only be Taught by Negative Knight
Note: This technique will only affect earth-based techniques which emerge from the earth and those solid-like in composition.
Note: Can only be used on S-Rank and below Earth techniques
OOC: Hiding the best Earth CJs I see...Not sure if I'm the "enemy" so I countered just in case lol
As the lifeless golem falls towards me, I release my earth chakra into the ground and into its body in order to take control of it. The aflame golem outstretches both of its arms and catches itself in a push-up position to stop itself from colliding with Kakuzu.
Nice usage. I just used the quake thing for the first time in my fight with Lili and I encountered that very same issue. I think it still affects you until your platform is more than 15 meters high (exceeds mid-range). Ah, the golem actually can't use techniques. You have to actively fuel it and when you use another technique regardless of the nature, the golem will become "lifeless". Since it goes lifeless, anything created from its body will have normal weight unless Scales of Judgement is still active and you choose to passively alter its weight. Any more questions?
(Doton: Tsukaimono no Tsuchi) – Earth Release: Gift of Gaia
Rank: C-S
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 15-40 (-10 chakra per turn)
Damage Points: 30-80
Description: The user will perform the Boar Handseal and focus their doton chakra into a nearby statue or life-like construct (e.g. golem, gargoyle, etc) and utilize this released chakra to grant it a degree of sentience (similar to Earth Release: Stone Golem). The chakra will flood the earthen substance and bring it under the control of the user for three turns before reverting to its previous inanimate state. Beings brought to life via this method will only be capable of basic functions within the confines of their physical capability e.g. humanoid figures can run/walk, winged figures are capable of flight, etc. To use this technique on earthen constructs without the need for direct contact, only requires for one condition to be fulfilled. Both the user and the target structure require contact with the ground. After being brought to "life", the creation has a mind of its own and can act independently.
E1 - This technique is used to bring small animals and dolls constructed from earth to life. In terms of size, this type can usually fit in the user's hand and its maximum size can be equivalent to that of an average human head. Their small size makes them ideal for stealth as they're capable of staying hidden. These constructions are C-Rank in power.
E2 - This technique is used to bring human-sized constructions to life (e.g. gargoyles and other doton statues to life). These constructions are B-Rank in power.
E3 - This technique is used to bring earthen constructions significantly larger than human beings to life. Their size can range from between three meters and the size of the A-Rank Stone Golem. These constructions are A-Rank in power.
E4 - This technique is used to bring the largest doton constructions to life. Their size exceeds that of the A-Rank Stone Golem and has no real bounds or limits. This technique can even be used to bring constructions on the scale of the statues at "The Valley of the End" to life. Unlike all of the other variants, E4 requires significantly more exertion to maintain and so while active the user can only use Doton and non elemental abilities. These constructions are S-Rank in power.
Note: Lasts for three turns
Note: Only one construct can be brought to "life" per use
Note: Can only be used twice per battle
Note: Can only be taught by Negative Knight
Note: Can only be used on Earth Release Techniques
Note: If direct contact with the construct is made, this technique can be performed without the need for handseals.
Note: Constructs only possess physical capability and can not use jutsus
Basically an advanced version of earth spear technique that requires no hand seals and is allowed to be used on other objects as well. The technique itself covers you body's worth of mass. Meaning that if you choose to only protect your chest, you are also allowed to encase your sword in the armor itself. A mere trading of sorts between masses.(Doton: Tetsu Sukin Buki ) – Earth Release: Iron Skin Weaponry
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30 (-10 per turn active in direct physical contact)
Damage points: N/A (+10 to physical attacks)
Description: This technique was developed by Mathias himself after carefully studying the properties of the "Iron Skin technique, and Super Light weight technique" He came to the conclusion that if we could insert our chakra into other objects to increase or decrease its weight, why not do the same to coat them with an iron skin for added strength? The user will channel their chakra throughout a selected object, which then hardens the skin to a steel-like quality. This increases their defensive power to the utmost limits. The objects skin also becomes much darker, an almost black colour. The destructive power of physical attacks is increased, making this a great, all purpose technique. The user can not coat an object with greater mass then of a human being, being the advanced version of Iron Skin Technique. However unlike the Iron skin technique, if the user loses physical contact with the said object, it will take a full turn for the chakra to drain out of the object and lose its iron coat. This was based on the Added weight and Light weight techniques. This technique when activated leaves the object vulnerable to lightning based techniques.
Note: Can be used three times per battle
Note: Must wait one turn before re-using
Note: Must have mastered Earth
Note: Must be taught by Mathias
A rather big ship that is able to stay afloat on water/muddy sources for a certain amount of time.(Doton: Going Merry Kibarashi) - Earth Style: Going Merry Recreation
Type: Attack/Defense
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40 (-10 every time a cannon ball is shot)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After performing Monkey → Horse → Dog → Ox → Boar the user will concentrate all of his/her doton chakra and clap their hands together. By doing so the Straw Hat Pirates’ full size ship the “Going Merry” will be created made completely of earth from the ground itself. As long as the user is aboard the ship his/her earth style techniques will require three less hand seals to perform. The ship itself is able to float in water sources(The ship will not turn into mud unless it is on that water source for longer than two turns) and mud itself (for ex. Swamp of the underworld). Depending on the elemental advantages the ship can block B-Rank and below techniques but the part that was hit will crumble afterward. If any attacks are coming from above, the user can walk inside the “meeting room” of the ship for cover. The unique ability of the ship is that it can shoot A-Ranked cannon balls made of earth from the ships main cannon in the front. The ship has a stock of five cannon balls. Every cannon ball has multiple explosive tags attached to them that can be detonated with the use of a single hand seal. The users chakra is infused with the ship itself, so only S ranked or above enemy earth techniques will be able to overpower the ships earth chakra and use it as an earth source.
Note: Can only be used once per battle.
Note: No earth style techniques in the previous turn.
Note: No earth style techniques in the same turn the ship is being created. (Shooting the cannon ball does not count)
Note: If the ship is not destroyed it will stay in play for 3 turns.
Note: Because of the massive use of doton chakra, the user will not be able to form A-Rank or above earth techniques for the next turn or S-Rank for two.
Note: The first cannon ball that the user shoots immediately after the creation of the ship (and shot in the same turn he is created) will not count towards the three jutsu per turn.
Note: Any other cannon ball shot afterwards counts as one of the three jutsu’s per turn.
Note: The shot cannon balls reach up to long range.
Note: Can only be used by Mathias
Three 15ft tall Eels made entirely of water that can be used in various ways; Creating individual multi-directional attacks, protective vortex or tsunami wave.(Suiton: Mittsu Hissatsu Unagis) - Water Style: Three Deadly Eels
Type:Attack/Defense
Rank: S
Range:Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: 80
Description: After performing the Rat → Dog the user, through sheer willpower and concentration, using the moister in the air, will materialize three 15 ft tall Eels made completely of water. The Eels will materialize at the user's 10,12, and 2 o'clock view or 8, 12, and 3 o'clock depending on the situation. There are three ways the three deadly Eels can be used in. The first being; the user can send all three Eels rushing towards the opponent at the same time as an attack, and the user can freely manipulate the direction they are headed just like Earth Flow Wave. (ex: arc manner from the left/right or straight). The second being; the user can disperse the Eels, making the water combine into one huge tsunami wave that can be used to block attacks, or be directed at the opponent. The third and last one being; the user can disperse the Eels, making the water combine and form a raging vortex of water around the user which will then spread outwards 360 degrees.
Notes:
- Can only be used twice per battle
- If the user signed the Eel contract the hand seals are reduced by half.
- The Eels can only be materialized at short range from the user.
- Due to the high usage of water chakra, the user could not have used any water techniques in the previous turn.
- No water techniques of S-Rank or above next turn.
- Must have complete mastery over water.
- Must be taught by Mathias.
OOC: Sounds to me like you are savoring it for the best possible trade ever xDOOC: Only has one slot left T_T
It just occurred to me that you can harden your clothes with this technique. Now I can harden my clothes, my skin and even the threads inside my body. That's awesome. Only one question though, do I have to perform them? I've read and understood all of them.
OOC: A trade that will probably never come xDOOC: Sounds to me like you are savoring it for the best possible trade ever xD
Since they are pretty clear-cut I think there is no actual need to perform them.
OOC: I know that feel.... xDOOC: A trade that will probably never come xD
Alright, I guess this concludes our business for now. Enjoy
Kakuzu pretends he didn't hear Habaki and continues walking awayOOC: I know that feel.... xD
Habaki notices as Kakuzu casually places Habaki's ninja scrolls into his suit case and walks away.
Ay, ay, yo! I didn't say you could take those!!
