Descripton: The user will do one hand seal and cause nearby earth structures (either natural occurring ones on the field (such as cave ceilings, cliffs, etc), man made (buildings, etc) or jutsu made (up to C-Rank active structures)) to collapse and fall. This technique allows the ninja to control nearby stone and rock and dislodge any vulnerable or sensitive spots, causing the structure to collapse. 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. The damage depends on the size of the cavern or rock lodging above or nearby the target and not on the amount of chakra used which doesn't need to be high. A large cave with a thick ceiling can easily do the physical damage equivalent to an A-Rank technique but due to the damage not being focused or chakra fueled, its also easily defendable.
"Now, let's move on. The first technique starts off by forming the Tiger hand seal, and manipulating your Earth based chakra. You will then cause a river of mud to materialize beneath the opponent, and throw them off balance, or carry them away from the user. A very simple technique, and also creates a mud source. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kenji.
"After that, you will form the Ram → Horse → Dragon hand seals, and concentrate your Earth based chakra into the mud you had just created. This allows you to create a dragon of mud (only its head though). This head is capable of firing mud bulets towards the opponent, and can be combined with Fire shots, to shoot a pseudo lava towards the opponent. A nice technique, but can only be used if you used the technique above, first. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates another clone that runs towards Kenji.
After listening to the first explanation Keji nods his head and turns to the first clone and preforms the tiger seal. Manipulating his earth based chakra Keji creates a mud river catching the clone off guard and sending him far away. Keji then looks at Dean awaiting his next instruction "Lay it on me." After the explanation Dean sends another clone at Keji. Weaving the seals Ram, Horse, and Dragon Keji creates a mud dragons head from the previous technique. This dragon then locks onto the clone and fires mud bullets turning the clone to swiss.
Wiping mud off of himself Keji speaks "Advantages. The first is perfect for creating mud source for mud based jutsu. It is also great to use in order to create a gap or gain distance from your enemy. The second technique is great for mid to long range combat especial when combined with the first technique or fire style jutsu. Disadvantages. The firsts for me would be the fact that all it does is create a mud source and doesn't seem like it would do much damage. As for the second the biggest one I can see is that it needs the mud source created from the first technique in order to be used."

Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kenji.
"After that, manipulate your Earth based chakra as you slam your hands towards the ground before you. This allows you to manipulate the very ground, and form a slab of Earth, that tilts up 90 degrees to protect from frontal attacks. This is one of the ways to use this technique, or one could also create two slabs that rise and tilt to the sides, which creates an opening. This allows you to get rid of hazardous materials which might be on the ground before you use the technique. Very nice technique, and has a lot of uses if you are creative. Use it against this attack!"

Seeing the clone Keji jumps back while in the air he weaves the rat horse dog and snake hand seals and upon landing he manipulates the earth around the clone creating stone pillars trapping the clone. The second clone takes a deep breath seeing this Keji begins to manipulate the earth around him. As the clone exhales a fire ball Keji creates a rock wall protecting himself from the assualt.
Looking back to Dean "Advantages of the first is the prison effect it also creates a choke point giving the enemy only one ideal escape from above. The second is the multi dimensional defense and pathway clearing. Disadvantages of the first. My biggest concern would be against another earth style user or a lightning user becaude they could either create a new exit or destroy the pillars all together. The second tech would be the same as the first with the addition or it only being able to protect one to two fronts at a time giving the enemy an advantage if they are teamed up."

Keji Bows "Sorry it took so long for me to return to training." Seeing Deans first clone Keji begins to remember his training from earlier and begins channeling his chakra. Raising his right arm Keji summons a river of mud to wash away the clone and drowned it in the process.
After listening to Deans last instruction Keji proceeds to sink into the earth seeing Deans clone. Before the clone notices Keji he uses Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu to drag the clone under.
"Advantages like Earth Release: Earth Flow River the first technique creates a mud source for other techniques but it seems to have a stronger current then the original as well as the ability to flow stronger and faster with the addition of a water technique. I honestly don't see any benefit to the second technique when compared to Hiding like a mole technique."
"Disadvantages are mainly aimed towards the second technique. It is slow to achieve, can barely move while using it, and finally is easily detectable by other shinobi. In due respect this technique seems completely useless unless provided with a teammate as distraction."

Description: Using this jutsu, a person can hide underground until they're ready to attack an opponent by merging with the ground itself. By utilizing earth-chakra, the person can stealthily emerge from the ground without disrupting the ground around him. The disadvantage with this technique is that merging with the ground is rather slow and while perfomring the technique, the user is vulnerable to high ranked Earth techniques. The user isn't hidden from doujutsu or sensory ninjas and cannot travel beyond the 3 meter deep mark. Moving around in the ground is slow and the user cannot sense very well what is happening above.
"Alright, lets move on. The next technique requires you to form the Rabbit → Boar → Rat → Horse → Tiger → Snake hand seals and slam your hands onto the ground. As you do so, you will use your Earth chakra to manipulate the veins beneath the Earth in order to tear the Earth apart and create massive chasms. The chasms can be manipulated to rise to two opposite sides, splitting the Earth through the center. One can decide the width, direction, curve and length of the chasm. The technique doesn't create a fissure in the middle though, its a great way to seperate yourself from the opponent, or split two people apart. Use it against my clone."

After listening to the first technique Keji begins to form the required rabbit - boar - rat - horse - tiger - snake seals and then slams his hands on the ground right before the clone reaches him. This creates a circular chasm around the clone dropping it 50 meters deep. As the next clone begins to charge Keji forms the snake seal and slams his hand onto the ground causing rubble to appear and distract the clone. As the clone focuses on dodging the rubble Keji throws a series of kunai to impale the clone.
"Advantages of the first is that it creates distance which can provide a means to escape for either you or an ally or give you the required distance to prepare a strong long range attack if that is what you excel at. The second jutse advantages are just like you described Dean. It is good for distraction in order to catch the opponent off guard with another attack or destroying other earth style jutsu.
Disadvantages for the first I would imagine would it being miss used. For example if I created distance between me and another and my opponent excelled at long to mid range I would only be benefiting them. As for the second jutsu it would be it's lack to destroy stronger earth style jutsu as well as the distraction factor may not help much if the target has certain abilities like increased speed or sharingan."

Seeing Deans first clone run towards him Keji preforms the snake seal. He then manipulates the chakra around his right arm while assuming an orthadox boxing stance. Once the clone comes within range of Keji's left arm Keji grabs his face and pulls it downwards. With the clone now facing the ground Keji encases his right arm in rock and punches the back of the clones head. This sends the head flying with downwards impacting the ground and in turn being crushed between two hard places. After listen to the second explanation Keji quickly weaves the ram dog rat bird seals to form a tunnel to hide him and the unconscious clone as he is from a spy village this seemed the best course of action to remain undetected by the scanning clone. Keji then places his hand on the earth "Doton no jutsu" focusing the chakra under the clones feet to produce a spiked column to pierce through the clone.
"The advantages for the first is that it is a great taijutsu enhancer especially with the techniques you mentioned in the description. It could also be used as a crude shield or another source of earth to use other doton jutsu in cqc. Advantages for the second tech come as many for me since I am from a spy village. I can take a group or solo infiltrate a building or target location with this jutsu. I could also use it to extract a team, prisoners, MIA nin, and myself from hostile areas. I could also use it to hid bodies like I did earlier.
Disadvantages if you aren't creative of skilled in taijutsu it would be useless to you in my opinion. As for the second one I can't really find a fault for it because I just see endless possibilities due to my current profession. Sorry that the disadvantages seem to be lacking but I see endless possibilities for these two."

Keji smiles and preforms the snake seal focusing his chakra just in front of the clone creating two stone walls that catch catch the clone off guard crushing him. Once again listening to Deans advise Keji turns to the next clone. Keji smiles and with a wave of his hand disappears as a dust screens arises from the earth blinding the clone. Keji laughs "Looks like you're trapped like a rat." while preforming the rat seal at the same time "Doton: Ganban Kyu" by manipulating the earth around the clone Keji causes to half spheres to arise from the right and left of the it in attempt to crush the him. Not expecting Dean's clone to go down easy Keji speaks again "Trapped like a rat in a snakes burrow." Keji preforms the snake seal once again manipulating the chakra around the clone but this time creating to stone walls in front of and behind the clone crushing him. As the dust settles Keji looks at Dean "Creative?"
" Advantages and disadvantages For the first technique I would have to say that it is the same as Bedrock Coffin in both just differently shaped but when combined with bedrock coffin can make for an excellent cage/ trap. As for the second jutsu its advantages lie in it concealment. Hiding you from the enemies sight allowing you to produce sneak attacks at a whim or provide cover in order to hide/escape an enemy. Disadvantages would be while it hides you from enemy sight it also hides the enemy from yours so in a sense it's a double edged sword. I do have one question though. Can the sand be manipulated since it is earth and used with other doton techniques."

After listening to Deans instruction Keji prepares for cqc at the same time he is manipulating the ground behind him. When the clone reaches striking range Keji engages in hand to hand with all strikes targeting the head and eye. While the clone is distracted Keji causes a boulder(my version of huge rock) to rise from the ground. Once ready Keji kicks some dirt into the clones eyes and jumps back as the boulder crushes the clone. Catching his breath "I really have to stop doing cqc with these clones." letting out a sigh he then dusts himself off. The next clone comes seeing this Keji begins to focus chakra around his right hand. When the clone gets close Keji puts both hands up "Whoa stop big guy. Why don't we talk about this technique more over some beers bro?" Seeing that this interested him Keji then raises his fist as if to fist bump with the clone. When the clone goes to return the gesture Keji creates a large rock catching the clone off guard and shooting it at the clone.
"Advantage of the first is that you create a boulder to crush an unsuspecting opponent. This technique would best be used with combination tactics. Disadvantage and the reason why this tech needs to be apart of a combination in my opinion is that its a boulder floating in mid air. Anyone with common sense would avoid it or if they are skilled shinobi destroy it before it hits them. Point being its to noticeable. Advantage of the second tech is that it gives you more variations in you attack ranges but needs to be used in combination with another tech. Disadvantage if used at any range other then close the tech is large and noticeable. This being said like the first needs to be set up to be successful or used as a distraction in order to successfully land another move."

Description: The user manipulating their chakra will point their palm or fist at the opponent, creating a large rock on it which he then sends at the opponent. Alternatively, the user can "spit" the rock. In this case he will spit a large globule of mud which hardens mid way towards the opponent into a large rock.
"Next, the last two C rank techniques. The first technique is simple, you will clap your hands together and use your Earth based chakra to manipulate the very earth. This allows you to unleash two huge rocks from the ground on either side of the opponent, and sends them flying backwards. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kenji.
"After that, stomp your foot on the ground and manipulate your Earth based chakra. This causes small fractures to rip through the ground towards the opponent, which sends fragments of earth and rocks to rise, and cause some blunt damage. This can then hit the opponent into the air. Use it against my clone."
"Great job, really enjoying your approach, here you go."

"Thanks for the praise." Keji then listens to Deans description and jumps a few meters back but before he could land Dean sends a clone at him. Seeing this Keji claps his hands together and upon landing two two boulders appear one to the clones left and the other to his right. These boulders then fly towards the clone hitting him and sending it back in the direction of it's creator. Receiving further instruction Keji replies "Yes Sir." and begins to think on how to best use this technique. Dean sends another clone towards Keji who proceeds by channeling his chakra into the ground and waves his arm creating a dust wall. Knowing that the clone can't see Keji stomps his right foot in the clones direction causing small fractures that rip through the ground towards the clone. After a time the dust settles to reveal the clone unconscious upon the earth fragments and rocks that weren't seen rising at him.
"Advantages both are useful to give yourself time to breath before your next move or to escape an enemy as you retreat. Both are also useful distractions for techniques like the previous two you taught me but at the same time they can be used as attacks on their own. Especially the second jutsu that has an initial tremor/fracturing effect that can throw an opponent off balance but then adds a attack with the protruding rocks. So really the second jutsu is both an attack and defense. Disadvantage wise I can't see one but I would have to say if fighting an experienced shinobi they may be able to dodge both techniques whether it be free form or with help of another jutsu."
"Good, and remember that you can't dodge a technique with free form, a jutsu must always be countered with another jutsu (unless you're fighting free form Taijutsu). Nonetheless, here you go."

Description: The user will manipulate their chakra and stomps the ground.

"Now for the B ranks. The first technique is simple, you will start off by forming the Boar → Ox hand seals and by placing your hand on the ground, you initiate the technique. You will use your Earth chakra to cause the ground surrounding the opponent to spiral inwards on itself, burying the opponent alive and crushes them with jagged rocks that it pulls inwards. The technique is more deadly inside a cave or in a mountainous area. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kenji.
"After that, use your Earth based chakra and focus it into the ground beneath the opponent. You will then condense the soil and rock, to cause four spikes to emerge from around the opponent. This makes it difficult for the opponent to counter, but can easily be evaded by escaping upwards. This allows you to predict the opponent will go up, so you can use a technique that comes from above. Use it against my clone."

Excited to move to B rank jutsu Keji instantly begins after instruction. He waits and times the perfect moment and weaves the boar then ox seals. Placing his hand upon the ground he creates a vortex around the clone as soon as he would take his first step within range. The vortex or whirlpool spirals inwards on itself burying said clone alive. Keji quickly moves onto the next technique as Dean spawns another clone. Focusing his earth based chakra a meter or two in front of the clone Keji springs his trap. By condensing the earth around the clone he four spikes to emerge from around the clone leaving it only one way to escape. As the clone jumps Keji raises his fist towards the clone which begins to form a large rock in front of it "Doton: Iwa Dangan." This sends the rock flying at the now airborne clone knocking it unconscious.
"If you don't mind I would like to free form this part a little. Both these justu are the perfect traps in my opinion. They both am to trap the enemy with the initial strike or set them up in another. The best example of this would be the seconds jutsu . Disadvantage wise I cont really see any.. well actually maybe two. For the first jutsu a strong shinobi could probably find ways to propel themselves out of the vortex. As for the second jutsu while this attack grants them no option but to jump up if versed in doton they already knew and could prepare and assault specifically for that moment. In short meaning with experience is greatest asset can become its greatest weakness."

Description: The user of this technique condenses the soil and rock in the area to sprout out in the form of four large spikes which attack the target from four separate directions to make it harder to evade. However, it can be easilty avoided by escaping upwards.
"Next are quite useful techniques. The first one is simple, where you will use your Earth based chakra and focus it in your gut. You will then expel from your mouth, a stone like substance. This forms into a clone of you, which is capable of using up to C rank Earth and Taijutsu up to B rank. When it is defeated, it crumbles into stones, rather than poof away. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kenji.
"After that, use your Earth based chakra to surround yourself with the very Earth that surrounds you. This allows you to create a dome around yourself, which can be used as a defense. The dome can be made so it has some openings, so you can see what's going on outside the dome. Use it against this attack!"

Keji begins to build earth chakra in his stomach as Dean speaks. When Dean finishes Keji spits out an earth style clone at the same time Dean creates his clone. As Deans clone runs towards the Keji his clone uses Doton: Gansetsukon which creates a rock cane. after this Keji and his clone charge Deans clone in a single file Keji in the back. When the two clone reach cqc Keji's thrusts his cane at deans but Deans easily deflects. As Dean's clone goes to strike Keji's Keji jumps to the other side of the cane and grabs hold. Simultaneously both Kejis "Doton no Jutsu" creating to spears to eject from the cane into the Dean clone causing it to pop smoke. Both Keji and his clone begin to listen to Deans instructions. After hearing what had to be done they notice Deans clone prepare for an attack and at that time Keji focuses his chakra around him and puts up an earth shield of sorts with a small slit to see while his clone used Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu while hidden. When the Dean clone finishes his attack Keji's clone grabs its legs and uses Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu pulling it down to its neck at this time Keji see's the clone drop and his appear focusing on his clones location Keji preforms the rat seal "Bye friend. Doton: Ganban Kyu" Keji's clone waves at him just before being crushed alone with deans.
Keji now looking at Dean as his earth dome crumbles "Advantages of the first technique. First is the fact that it creates a partner for you. Second this partner can now help you preform those team jutsus that I've mentioned before. Third the clone is a copy of you so you both think alike and thus don't require the need to train like you would with a normal team member. Finally when the clone crumbles it can be used as a combination itself. Advantages of the second technique. First is the simple fact that it creates a protective dome around you and possible allies. Second is the ability to create opening that allow you to see the enemies movements while in cover. Third it allows for other jutsus and escapes while hidden preventing the enemy from seeing your movements.
Disadvantages. For the first would be it's restriction to one element but that can be said for most element clones. As for the second I would have to say it's weakness to lighting and possible entrapment if attacked from below while inside the dome."

Description: The user creates their clone out of stone that he spits from his mouth. Unlike other types of clones the rock clones don’t disappear after being defeated but rather crumble like rubble. These clones can also be used to create a clone of other people than themselves but do not take on the abilities of the copied person. They can use up to C-Rank Earth techniques and are very resistant to physical damage such as that from Taijutsu which they can endure up to B-Rank.

Description: The user surrounds themselves with earth, taken from the immediate vicinity, in order to fabricate a formation of rock that is capable of protecting both the user and others in close proximity, if desired. Doing so, seemingly leaves the surrounding terrain unaltered, even when the quantity of earth used is enough to form a complete dome around multiple individuals as seen when Ittan used this technique. The user can also manipulate the resulting shelter to have openings in it so as to be able to observe outside, as demonstrated when used by Kitsuchi.
"Next, is another defensive technique. You will manipulate your Earth based chakra and slam your hands on the ground. This allows you to create 1/4 dome of Earth, which protects you from frontal attacks. The dome shapes similar to a wood techniques, where various pieces of Earth come together, to form said structure. Use it against this attack."
Dean throws a kunai, which then multiplies into 100 kunai's, which all fly towards your front.
"After that, remember the Mudshot technique? This one is basically that, but a larger version of it, where you will fire more mudshots, which covers a larger area and can affect more opponents. Its also stronger in rank, which makes it extremely useful. Use it against my clone."
