Ffs no he didn't touch me :|
Ellie hops down from the tree she was sitting on top of.
Hey Ragna, the names Ellie. So Doton let me try to be as detailed as I possibly can. Doton or Earth release allows ninjas like us to use the surrounding earth with our chakra to create techniques from the dirt and rocks of the earth we stand on or float above. We can change the Earth's form from solid like rocks to mud or clay which is more soft through nature manipulation which is when we use our chakra to manipulate the form of the earth. Usually when we are doing a Doton style type jutsu we slam our hands onto or against the earth. It has its weaknesses as well as its strength against the other basic elements and can work well with some. It's weak against lightning because lightning can travel through and crack the earth, its strong against water because the earth can absorb it, taking it in actually makes the earth prosper. It works well with fire, you can create like a barrier to trap the enemy and burn the crap out of them with the flames. Wind, eh I'm not o sure about their relation. Seems like neither have that much of a higher ground on each other they both seem to be able to overpower each other depending on the technique's rank. That's about all I know, oh and Doton can be real messy element with the mud, clay and rocks and such.
Earth/Doton
So Doton is dirty. Nough said...wait what? I'll get fired if I just leave it like that? Damn ok Sharingdork...Ellie you know a lot for your young age.....but you kinda creep me out. I can work with this tho. Doton is pretty nice because it can turn the very terrain you are standing on against your opponent. A lot of techniques require earth source, but some do not. These takes me originate from you, or randomly from a portal(weird right). Varations can include mud like techs, or even loose sand like techs, but don't be mistaken its still earth. If you are standing on a non shallow water source, or even metal, wood, then that would drastically reduce your earthen arsenal so location is very important with this element. Though not my fav it was the first I mastered so I do like it very much.
Strengths and Weaknesses
You must be registered for see images
CORRECT-Earth is strong to water but weak to Lightning. Its strength to water is more due to its sturdy and solid nature which allow it to impede the force of water. It also has a few absorbent properties but not so absorbent (Like sand) that it cant be manipulated after the water hits it. Certain earth techs can be combined with water to form mud like techniques. Earth techniques can also be combined with fire to create pseudo lava techniques (remember certain types), wind could even be used to amplify its overall impact.
Strength-Strong against water, rain, ice, (Double strength to Dark Absorption ability) regular strength against Dark Release ability,Scorch, Bugs, Steam, Sound(if used correctly. I'll show you at the end of this training), Magnetism
Weak-Weak against Lava, Wood, Crystal, Storm, Steel, Boil, Sand, Shikotsumyaku, Dust.

You will need earth if you want Dust, Steel, Lava, Blast, Wood
THATS NICE AND ALL BUT WHAT CAN IT DO?
As I've said before earth can help you alter the terrain and make the platform of the fight extremely hazardous which works in your favor. This element is one of those that has great defensive properties unlike an element like fire which is mainly used for offensive ability.
CONCLUSION
This is earth. Earth is important so you don't get raped by clones. Even as the force come to shape it earth is always here. It is something we can't live without. You will get your hands dirty and I didn't bring Purel so....good luck. Almost forgot I always ask my students their likes and dislikes and dreams/aspirations.
I like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, I don't like Osmon (hey Ozzy. xD), and I have a dream to one day beat Moxxi in a fight..she is OP (plz spread that rumor fam she think Im trolling...which I am, but she aint going to read this. LMFAOOO, everyone will start saying she OP)
You can answer me while you channel chakra into this chakra paper I bought at the dollar store....if it don't work the first time just tap it twice and move the antenna to the left. 0_0, anyway tell me what happens when you finally develop your doton chakra and channel It into the paper.
