[Doton] Earth Training Group #1

[Kamishiro]

Alright, so I will begin the RPing starting from the next post, since I don't know anything about your bios. What I would like you to post is a RP introduction of each one of you, and include your clan, your specialty (especially elemental wise) and your training status. Since Deviation has had prior training, I will be teaching him individually. Now, you may ask why have I included him in this training if I am going to train him individually? Well, that is because, I am implanting a new training method.

In my training method, naturally, I will be teaching you techniques, but my job here is far more important than that. My job is to answer any question of yours, try to apply the element with your Dojutsu/HA and prevent you from doing fatal mistakes. That is why, I would like you to always ask question, no question is stupid. Rather, those who don't ask questions are.

I will be using a testing method that one of my best friends have used before, who is Mugen Ryuku. You will have one written test, which is prior to the training. Then 3 battles, one after D/C rank, one after B rank and a final battle after A/S rank. Of course, there is no punishments, I can't punish you for something you are still learning, nor am I even able to. This is rather for your benefit, since a lot of people have issues after they finish training, and I was one of them. You finish them with a lot of techniques and little to no knowledge at all, which will force you at some point to see others' training to make up for your loss.

You have the right to say to refuse to have the battle, in which case I will just be teaching you the techniques in a regular manner, you have the right to ask me to change my training method if you aren't benefiting from this and you have the right to report me to my superior if I have forced you to do anything or you aren't learning from me.

I am doing this mainly for your benefit, so I hope we enjoy our training. One last thing, I would like to request you to regard this training as you would regard a battle, I would like you to enjoy it. It is another beautiful experience in the RP, in which case we need to enjoy. If you aren't enjoying it, it is your duty to inform me and tell me why. I am a RPer as you, I am here to enjoy the RPing experience, be it battling, training or just staying in character.

-Thank you!

Well said sensei! :bouncy:
It is my first time experiencing this training method, and I really hope it goes according to plan!
The two bios are given in my sig. I'll be using Neji since Jiraiya hasn't been approved yet. z.z

All my elements are currently undergoing training.
Neji as you know already is a canon character who possesses the visual prowess through his kekkai genkai from the Hyuuga Clan, the Byakugan and Gentle Fist style or Jyuuken.
Hmm, well, theres nothing more left to say, I am completely restarting RP so, My neji bio only has Byuakugan and Gentle Fist as his specialty and the rest are in progress z.z (about 7 training threads on the go xd , 8 when Pervy sage starts to teach my Jiraiya Bio).

That is all.
Ganbatte!

Thank you for taking a different approach to training sensei. Arigato sensei u_u

Well considering I change bios a lot the only one I will be using with you is Sylar since I doubt I'll change him. Sylar first and foremost is a character from the Heroes series. I am drawn to his character because his personality resembles my own. He a natural born genius who is curious about the world around him. He wants to belong and know he is appreciated. Throughout his life he has been put in situations where his choices, though not the best or morally correct, have led him to see the reality of humanity. This drives him to have little regard for the people around him because he feels they can't be saved. He struggles with his hunger to know. He hungers for knowledge any way he can get it. He feels that by having all this knowledge he can become better - special even. BUt in reality all he really wants is to be normal - to fit in and be accepted. This leads him from time to time to make alliances with people who he would normally wouldn't associate with. However if there is one thing Sylar hates is when he feels he is being used. Though many people paint Sylar as a psychopath or evil, he is genuinely good inside only wanting to help people. This gets miscontrued by others and he ends up taken advantage of. I could have chosen Peter who I also genuinely feel resembles my personality but Sylar dances between the lines of being good and being evil which just makes for more better rp than Peter. I love drama (the good kind).

As for his clan, I don't have training at all in it so can't really tell you much other than the name - Katsuryoku. As far as specialty I am updating it. I chose lightning and genjutsu as my specialty. Genjutsu is a no brainer as that goes hand in hand with Sylar skills and personality. The lightning is because its the only element I have mastered atm. It's funny though because he does use lightning/electricity in the show from his scenes with Elle. As far as training stats...

Lightning: Complete
Water: A-Rank
Fire: B-Rank
Wind: B-Rank
Earth: C-Rank

Wood: C-Rank
Sand: C-Rank

Ninjutsu: Complete
Genjutsu: Complete
Taijutsu: C-Rank
Kenjutsu: Complete
Sharingan: 3t

Shark Summonings & Related Ninjutsu: Signed & B-Rank
Dog Summonings & Related Ninjutsu: Signed & Complete
Duck Summonings & Related Ninjutsu: Signed & Complete
Spider Summonings & Related Ninjutsu: Signed & Complete​

I'd like to complete taijutsu first though but any other training I can complete the better. To be honest, my problem seems to be motivation and focus. I tend to be all into something and then get distracted and lose my attention on the subject I am studying.

When I started I wanted to be known as Yamato but considering I don't have water and earth mastered, I couldn't get very far in training. I hope to pick it up again someday. But I don't know. A lot of my mates say I am a better Kakashi than Yamato. Kakashi's character I get a lot because we share the same sign and personality. Maybe that's why I feel it easy to rp as him. xD

Anything else you wanna know just let me know. I don't mind sharing. ^^

"My name is Ichigo Uchiha. I like simply things, mainly things that are calm. I enjoy peace and hate anything that doesn't help create or further peace. Fighting would be my only acception to this because I enjoy fighting, I enjoy a challenge. Other than that I don't really like much. Friends and family are extremely important to me of course."

A cool breeze collided with Hashirama's hair, causing his hair to dance in a really smooth rhythm with it. His student's words followed inside as he took note of everything. It was a surprise to him to have two of the noble clans of Konoha in this team, a Hyuuga and an Uchiha. That certainly was interesting, and what was far more interesting was Sylar. He seemed the hungry for knowledge type, a great type of student anywhere. He always thought that knowledge led to success, however, that wasn't always the case. Knowledge should be toned with practice and experience, which was now Hashirama's goal. The three fine shinobis looked full of potential, dreams and energy. Youth certainly is interesting.

"Very well. Now that I know about you, I would like to you to tell me why have you chosen earth? Earth is a really distinctive element that can be a critical turn out in a fight, if used correctly. But then again, you need to know how to apply it to your fighting style in order to use it correctly. That is why, I would like you to also tell me how you are planning to apply it to your fighting style. I understand that Sylar has gotten some training prior to Ichigo and Neji, that is why, I am expecting a lot from his since he is supposed to have superior knowledge, at least for now. Finally, I would like you three to tell me what you know about earth. You aren't allowed to read anything, just tell me what you know. If you read something and don't understand it, but say it nonetheless to save yourself embarrassment, you are only postponing it until you embarrass yourself with an incorrect usage. I am hear to correct you if you were wrong and to tell you if you don't know, alright? Again, I don't mind if you two don't even tell me and state that you don't know anything about earth, because you haven't had any training before, so that is acceptable. But I am expecting something from Sylar." - said Hashirama as he made a decent smile to his students.

Hashirama's words made an impression on Sylar. He was being counted on for something. It made him feel needed. It had been a long time since he felt such responsibility. Sylar looked down immediately. He contemplated on whether he should cry, smile or just laugh. It was almost confusing since at a young age he had been taught to discard all emotion. His whole life had been nothing but one disappointment after another - but he persevered. So Sylar looked up and smiled as tears ran down his face. It was unlike him to be so emotional and even though it seemed out of place to everyone there, Sylar felt it was appropriate. So he started off the lesson, trying not to overdo the smiling or crying.

"Earth...(kneels down on one foot as his hand grabs some soft soil)...Earth is one of my favorite elements. It's our foundation, our history, and our final resting place. I feel so close to it like a child feels being wrapped around by its mother. It...makes me feel happy to know it will always be here. As a shinobi, it is meant to defend that which we want to protect. Of course earth has some offensive techniques. Not shooting them down or anything but earth is something we should both defend and take care of. Of the basic five, earth is 1st when it comes to solidity. Very few can break through it if made strong enough. I don't have the much training but from what I received, earth is a good compliment to water style techniques if used right. I don't really have a style right now but I'd like to work on being a defensive fighter. In order to achieve such a feat I need to better understand the foundation of it - Earth.

Now from what I gathered, Earth is mainly a defensive element. With it you can create prisons, walls, golems, and even weapons. Earth can also me mixed to create mud/sticky mud to disarm your opponents or their eyesight. Two advanced applications of earth come from adding fire to the mix. By super heating the earth you can both create lava (corrovise, rubber, or whatever the other type is) and steel which alone is a real powerful kekkei genkai if used by the right hands. By also applying your knowledge of the earth element one can make the ground quake or open up. For the creative mind, earth is a wonderful outlet as well as something every shinobi should at least gain a good understanding considering most battle terrains are in fact, earth.

Naturally Earth is strong towards water as it can absorb it, redirect it, or even take it head on without losing momentum. As well, it is weak towards lightning as it can break the earth apart even going as far as exploding it (idk if that sounded right >_>). As far as wind and fire go...I would say its neutral to fire as the earth can defend against it but at the same time fire can go around it but not sure though. I only really remember the strenth and weakness of it.

Now the best for last, Mokuton (Wood Release/Style). Yamato once taught me that by combining water chakra on one hand and earth chakra on the other then placing them together, with a given ratio of course, one can create life. One can create trees, vegetation, plants, and even use to subdue a tailed beast. It is a powerful element on its own being able to hold its own against the famed Uchiha Madara."

Sylar looks towards Sam as he should know about him considering he was an Uchiha.

"But enough about that element as I am not the expert here. Our sensei here is one we should be asking about Mokuton. But of course, we are here for earth only but wouldn't hurt to expand our knowledge."

While it seemed he asked in the interest of the class, Sylar was attempting to learn about Hashirama himself. Though not an expert at teaching, he did know about training. If there was one other way of really knowing if your students know a subject is through battle. Sylar just wanted to be prepared both for himself and his teammates...yes teammates (shifty eyes).

Earth Release is one of the 5 Basic Elements. It is known as Doton in Japanese. Earth Release is commonly used by the user to defend against the opponents technique however it can be used to attack as well. A master of Earth Release can create mountains using it as well travel through ground or rock without any difficulty. Earth Release can also be used to manipulate the density of an object as seen when Onoki used the Added Weight-Rock Technique to change the density of the Zetsu clone and turn it him into rock.
It is strong against Water. Water will provide a more liquefied substance rather than the solid earth that Earth Release usually provides. It creates mud, which is a more solid water, with more pushing power. Water itself is a great method of transport. When earth is used against suiton, Doton techniques are capable of weakening suiton Techniques for a large wall would easily slow down a wave of water (example). At the same time, Doton Techniques are capable of absorbing water and turning it muddy.
Wind and earth are two element which are neutral to one-another and usually not two which are used in combination with each-other.
Earth is the weak against Lightning as Lightning can be easily used to penetrate any sort of Earth Release technique and at the very same time pierce through it or cancel it, though i'd really like to know the science behind this
It is neutral against Fire, but can be used in collaboration and the results would be devastating, like the kekkei genkai Lava release. It is also used in Magnet release, wood release and explosion release.
It is present in kekkei tota Dust release.
Famous earth style users include Kitsuchi, Akatsuchi, Onoki, Orochimaru etc

Thats all Neji got ._.

Ichigo was a friendly person, usually found in a small group of friends from the Land of Keys. But recently Ichigo has been depressed from a dear friend and relative of his, passing away. He hadn't noticed he had become a shut in, barely leaving his house even to train. "I came to learn Earth because it would be good with my primary specialty, which is Fire. It would help me create some cool combinations..." Ichigo walked over to one of the tree's nearby and leaned on it.

Looking at his teammates, Sylar could see this resembled Team 7. Sylar was Sakura, Neji was Naruto, and Ichigo was Sasuke with their sensei as Kakashi. He laughed for a bit but he knew they would be alright. They all had to work together in hopes to one day make they sensei proud. However as Ichigo leaned against the wall morosely, Sylar could already tell there was something going on. The pain of wanting to express one's opinion but unsure of how it would be received...that is something Sylar could associate with. He closed his eyes, contemplated what he would say, and then without even shooting a glance at his teammate but looking up at the sky, he said, "Life doesn't' always go how we want it to but if we live each day living through the eyes of the people we love we gain direction on where to go next."

Sylar then glances over to Ichigo, hoping he would have heard the kind words.

Ichigo looks over at Sylar and nodded his head toward him to let him know he heard the words. "Well Sylar or Sy if that name is okay with you. Life has a funny way of showing people things...some see things in a happy way, others don't, but the point is we are shinobi, we are going to lose comrades whether we try to stop it or not. Destiny can change as Neji learned, but some peple cannot change their fate no matter how hard they try... Me for example, I have to live knowing the majority of my clan has been killed and a great number of the living members are overconfident, which leads them to getting killed." Ichigo popped his back away from the tree and looks toward their sensei Hashirama. "So, we have told you about us, now it's only polite to tell us of yourself."

 

[Kamishiro]

Having listen to Sylar, Hashirama proceeds; "Good. However, you seem to misunderstand how lightning works against earth, or at least your words weren't accurate. Due to lightning's nature, it is pretty fast and destructive, of course, not as fast as real lightning but faster than the other basic elements. Taking earth as a base for it's conductance, lightning would travel through it and break it apart, and while this can go as far as breaking it apart, it can't make it explode. And defensive type, you say? While I respect that, my only suggestion is to take on an offense aspect as well. Even if you have the most indestructible barrier in the world, it won't serve you well as a ninja, especially in this world where people kill their family for power. Defense is more than needed, but you can't let your opponent take the flow of the fight or else, you, your family or even your village may fall prey for it. Even if you don't care about offense or you are too soft for it, you should know that those who can't fight back, can't live. I don't mean in anyway to offend your fighting style or the way you are thinking, it is just a suggestion from an old man like me. Hahaha." - says Hashirama as he now turns his focus to the other two students, paying attention for what they are going to say.

As Neji finishes followed by Ichigo, Hashirama puts on a decent smile as he continues; "I don't know why you see earth as more defensive than it is offensive. It is as offensive as it is a defensive, maybe even more. And even if you use it as a defense, you can turn it easily into an attack. Say I create a wall to defend me from a water stream, now the wall is blocking my vision and I can't do anything about it, right? Wrong. I can always use another element, say wind, to create water tornado or several spheres of wind to take on the wall and continue as earth/wind combo. Of course that would weaken the wind a bit, but you will get rid of the wall which was blocking your vision as well as making a nice combo. And with something like an earth armor of any sort, you can use it as a Taijutsu boost to deal more damage, so really, it is only up to you to make a technique offensive or not. As for your question, Neji-kun. I have already explained that to Sylar, if you don't understand it, do tell me please so I can further explain it." - said Hashirama as he was rather annoyed by the fact that Ichigo explained little to nothing about earth, without any special request as to know about it. It seemed as so Ichigo didn't care much about the training, or was forced into it. It was only when Hashirama saw Sylar's comment and Ichigo's reply that Hashirama got it. It seemed that Ichigo was rather affected by the lack of the Uchihas in the village. His heart rate raised as he felt a deep pain in his heart, remembering all the painful memories from before. He looked at the sky and saw a cloud that resembled Madara's face, something that made him put a smile.

Hashirama liked how the teammates were going along, it was nice indeed. They seemed to like each other which was exactly what they needed. Teamwork is the key to success! And with that, Hashirama had to test their bond. Hashirama stomped his leg on the ground, creating a decent tremor that would knock all three of them off balance; "You wanted to know about me, right Ichigo? Well, I am a man who cherish teamwork, so let's test it out. Help each other to survive this tremor, if you fail this, you won't get any training. The survival of the three of you is a must, and without it, you three fail!" - Cried Hashirama, waiting for the response and hoping for the best.

Description: The user will concentrate and release their chakra into the ground to create a small tremer that can result in making the enemies lose their footing and fall to ground or miss the aim of a given technique.

P.S: I want you to use your abilities, whatever it might be, Dojutsu, HA anything, to survive this and help each other not to get harmed. Your task is to talk about this and make a response for this, one response from all of you. This is a preparation for a real tag team fight, with a much less pressure applied. Of course the technique deals no damage, and that is mainly because I can't kill my studnets lol but do deal with it as if it was a real threat!

Having listen to Sylar, Hashirama proceeds; "Good. However, you seem to misunderstand how lightning works against earth, or at least your words weren't accurate. Due to lightning's nature, it is pretty fast and destructive, of course, not as fast as real lightning but faster than the other basic elements. Taking earth as a base for it's conductance, lightning would travel through it and break it apart, and while this can go as far as breaking it apart, it can't make it explode. And defensive type, you say? While I respect that, my only suggestion is to take on an offense aspect as well. Even if you have the most indestructible barrier in the world, it won't serve you well as a ninja, especially in this world where people kill their family for power. Defense is more than needed, but you can't let your opponent take the flow of the fight or else, you, your family or even your village may fall prey for it. Even if you don't care about offense or you are too soft for it, you should know that those who can't fight back, can't live. I don't mean in anyway to offend your fighting style or the way you are thinking, it is just a suggestion from an old man like me. Hahaha." - says Hashirama as he now turns his focus to the other two students, paying attention for what they are going to say.

As Neji finishes followed by Ichigo, Hashirama puts on a decent smile as he continues; "I don't know why you see earth as more defensive than it is offensive. It is as offensive as it is a defensive, maybe even more. And even if you use it as a defense, you can turn it easily into an attack. Say I create a wall to defend me from a water stream, now the wall is blocking my vision and I can't do anything about it, right? Wrong.

OOC: Gosh I wish I had wood release as there is some nice jutsu in it to help with these situations. ;__;

We worked on this reply so hopefully no one disagrees.

As Hashirama's words set in, there was little time to reply with an answer. For no sooner as he had stopped talking he stomped his foot on the ground. It would have seemed their sensei caught them off guard however Ichigo had anticipated such a thing. Ichigo opened his eyes, revealing his three tomoe, as soon as he heard a noise coming from the ground. Using his quick thinking, he simply said to Sylar in a authoritative tone, "Sylar, Wire Cage, now!! Neji, give me visual!!" Not questioning his judgement, Sylar obliged as well as Neji. Then it struck the two as Sylar was about to perform the technique. He understood what he had in mind as the two had talked about it casually before at one time.

While Neji activated his Byakugan, Sylar released some ninja wire he had in his hand and using his chakra he quickly formed a protective dome. Using some of the wire inside, Sylar fastened himself inside as he controlled the dome. Inside Ichigo and Neji ran inside making the dome move like a giant ball of steel wire. As they headed towards Hashirama, Neji said, "Okay Sylar, NOW!!" Sylar, manipulating the wire cage dome, caused spikes to protrude on the outside. With that done, Ichigo and Neji ran faster to increase the speed and really pummel their sensei to the ground in a comical fashion. >_>

(Dōjutsu: Sharingan) Eye Technique: Copy Wheel Eye

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30 (-10 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Sharingan is the kekkei genkai of the Uchiha clan. Unlike the other Dōjutsu, not all members of the Uchiha Clan possess the Sharingan. This great Dōjutsu seems to awaken only on exceptional Uchiha members and only in times of great stress. Once awaken, the pupil turns red and a single tomoe (巴) seal appears around the center pupil. As the user masters and evolves their eyes, the tomoe (巴) seals increase, topping 3 per eye. The main ability of the Sharingan, like any other Dōjutsu, is to enable the user to see the flow of chakra. This ability is further improved as the Sharingan gives color to chakra, enabling the user to differentiate chakras from different people or from different sources. Although the user can see chakra through matter, he cannot see beyond dense matter or in long distances. Coupled with the ability to see chakra, Sharingan users gain acess to an incredible clarity of perception that enables them to read insanely fast movements or minor details, enabling them the ability to foresee in an easier way, traps, incoming attacks, etc. This clarity of perception is so great that a Sharingan user can sometimes start performing a counter to an attack that is still being performed, enabling the counter to be launched only a split a second after the attack. This clarity of perception leaves Sharingan users able to track high speed movement easily as well as to read through handseals. This last ability enables them to learn techniques much faster and sometimes copy them directly from the enemy, as long as the user has the necessary chakra affinities and requirements to perform it. Finally, the Sharingan is often linked to Genjutsu and mind-manipulating illusions, mostly because the user can, mostly through Eye Contact, directly and precisely use his chakra to manipulate the enemy's chakra flow. In return, the users clarity of perception gives him the ability to more easily decipher visual illusions cast upon him and see past them. The Sharingan has a great cost to the user though. The chakra consumption disables its use for long periods of time and, even when the user grows stronger, it's still hard to keep it active for long periods of time.
Note: The user, if he hasn't gained full mastery over his Sharingan, will need to spend a move to activate it, although as long as he has chakra and enough stamina he'll be able to keep it active until the end of the match. If the user is Sannin Rank or above and has gained his 3 Tomoe Sharingan and held it for one month, he becomes able to passively activate it, meaning he'll no longer spend a move of his 3 per turn.
Note: To avoid direct Eye Contact and be able to focus only on the body movement below the chin, the opponent needs to have mastered Taijutsu to possess the necessary skill.
Note: Predicting the nature of a technique or what it exactly is requires the user to either know the technique or that its a cannon technique.
Note: Danzo and Kakashi bios activate the Sharingan by removing the covers in their respective eyes and suffer a +10 chakra consumption per turn penalty

Note: The user is bound by the abilities and limits of the stage of sharingan he possesses, stated in the rules of the KG.

(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye

Spoiler

Type: Supplementary
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30 (-5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Byakugan is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans, inherited from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Bearers of this Dõjutsu have almost featureless white eyes. When the Byakugan is activated, the user's pupils become more distinct, and the veins near their temples bulge as the blood flow to their eyes is increased. While having the Byakugan deactivated, shinobi with have a normal eyesight and no special addition to their vision. While low rank Hyugas will need to perform a sequence of hand seals ( Horse → Tiger with lifting just index fingers → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Snake with the right index finger lifted straight up) to activate their Byakugan, Hyuga masters and Otsutsuki clan members will be able to do so without the need for any hand seals and even have it active passively for long periods of time. Once activated, the user gains access to all of the abilities the Byakugan bestows upon them. While, like other Dojutsu, its main ability is to see chakra and the chakra flow in sentient beings, the Byakugan adds a complete new detail and dimension to that ability. Not only can they see chakra flow, but also the circulatory system and even the 361 tenketsu (even of their own). Added to this ability, once activated the Byakugan grants the user a near perfect field of vision 360º around himself (up to long-range if they're a master). This field of vision has only one blind spot; slightly above the 3rd thoracic vertebrae and facing backwards. The last ability the Byakugan has is the ability to zoom in and out, focusing on specific things, piercing beyond matter and energy alike. This specific ability allows the user to see pass most barriers as well as physical matter (like rock walls, ground, etc) but also energy, being able to focus beyond chakra that might be in front of them or other energies. The zooming ability is enhanced as the user becomes more adept at using his eyes and can even reach distances above 20kms away.
Note: For Hyugas, activation spends a move from the users own move count but once the user reaches Sannin Rank and has gained mastery over Gentle Fist for 1 month, he can activate it passively without spending a move. Because of its low chakra cost to maintain, the user can keep it active throughout the whole fight as long as he has chakra and stamina to do so.
Note: Genjutsu that requires Eye Contact when used against a Byakugan user requires direct eye contact between enemy pupil and user's pupil
Note: Hyugas must be activated to use Gentle Fist (Jyuken)
Note: Its tracking abilities are equal to that of 3 Tomoe Sharingan.
Note: Only Hyugas possess the ability to utilize Jyuken, However, all Otsutsuki clan members possess the ability of passive activation.

Alright. First of all, I liked that you used the sharingan to have a preception of the technique before it happens, however, you haven't used it to it's full potential. You could've predicted that there was going to be an earth technique with such distinctive color given the Sharingan's abilities to distinguish elements by colors. And your description wasn't that clear, I understood that Sylar was performing the technique at the same time given Ichigo's orders, but then at some point, I felt you started using the technique after it happened. In any case, try to make your description more clear in the future. I dislike how you activated the Byakugan without any need to do so, I felt like you only activated it because I said use your bio's abilities to the full potential.

Now with the counter. First of all, you had no idea that this technique was a mere earthquake, which you dealt with it as such. In any case of earth techniques, there is shaking and vibrations beforehand, that is in case you made the technique after Ichigo saw the elemental chakra. You also didn't do anything about the tremor, the wires wouldn't be as stable to form the dome with you shaking like that, and if it is even stronger tremor (which I said deal with the technique as such) you wouldn't be able to even stand to form the dome. Focusing chakra into your feet would've been enough to retain your balance till the balance goes by, of course, your balance would fall until then. I do understand you tried to stable yourself with the wires, but even if you were able to retain the balance to successfully form the dome and fastening yourself to the ground, you are dealing with it as if it would deal no damage, when I clearly said you should deal with it as such. You also carelessly made Neji and Ichigo run. Running while there is a tremor without any thing to stable them? I don't think so.

In any case, I like that you used a different technique. Don't take the above notes as an offense to you, it is my attempt to give you heads up in order not to do such mistakes in the future. ^_^

Now, that said, let's get into the last step before learining jutsus. Since Deviation already learnt how to mold doton chakra and give a strutcure it's abilities, I would like him to perform the last technique he learnt. Put as much creativity in the usage as you want, I would like your teammates to see how the jutsus could be done. Ichigo and Neji, I would like you to set in a meditation stance with your legs crossed and eyes closed while focusing your chakra into the this leaf *hands a leaf to each one*. After you focus the chakra in the leaf, use natural transformation to turn the chakra into earth chakra, which would give the leaf the earth's properties and eventually turning it into dirt. This is a really tricky part which is the principle of all earth techniques, so try your best to do it successfully and even if you don't succeed the first time, keep trying until you work it out.

My intention was for me to maintain the wire while also being attached to it and then have my teammates run inside the ball to move it like a hamster ball. It would kinda look like how Choji does his human bullet tank technique. I didn't intend to use Ichigo's ability to see chakra as I prefer to use the sharingan's visual perception better to notice minute differences in the surroundings in case you followed up with a counter (actually thought you were going to have us battle you for a bit o-o). Also, Akashi doesn't have anything learned concerning Gentle Fist, and while I had a good strategy to use with the style, I had to change it again to make sure I was displaying at least one key trait for each. The only thing other than Akash's minimum training was his Byakugan which I utilized to give us a second visual of the field as well as preparing to be able to see through matter in case we came to that conclusion.

But for reals, I thought you would have us battle you so was planning a strategy. If I would have known you were just wanting one reply then I would have planned accordingly. But it's all water under the bridge. xD

P.s. I was taught that you could only apply chakra to your feet to maintain yourself on the syrup water field jutsu. Learn something new everyday. xD

Anyways, back to the lesson. >_>

Sylar gives a grin though this is to hide that fact that he was quite rusty. He nonetheless obliged to the request and moved a small distance away from the team staring forward to the clone that Hashirama had ready (I'll assume you had a clone/dummy/wtv ready). The two waited mid-range from each other until his sensei gave the word. As soon as he gave the go, Sylar sped towards the clone while grabbing some ninja wire and smoke bombs in his back pouch and keeping tabs on his surroundings. Once in short range of the clone, Sylar then throws several smokebombs between them, creating a smoke cloud. However instead of moving forward, he slides to his right getting a clear shot of the confused clone (I hope so T_T) and with his right hand throws a line of ninja wire that quickly wraps against the clone, binding him. Using his momentum and while holding the ninja wire, Sylar swings the clone with all his strength in a spinning manner and into the air, all the while channeling his chidori nagashi through it. With the clone paralyzed and binded, its not long before the clone comes falling down. Sylar jumps up in the air as he channels his earth-type chakra to his right hand as he performs the Snake → Seal of Confrontation handsigns. Once in the air and the two are at level, Sylar rotates his body as the earth quickly encases his right hand as he clenches it. Sylar delivers a strong punch to the clones stomach forcing it to come crashing down towards the ground. Sylar then lands down safely with a cloud of dust behind him making it look like those cool movies where the guy walks off while an explosion happens. Cool right?

Description: This jutsu allows the user to generate non-focused electricity from their body. It can be used as an omnidirectional attack or be channeled through weapons, the ground or other conductive mediums. Because the electricity isn't focused, it doesn't kill on contact, instead it has great numbing and paralyzing effects.

Despite not having much destructive or damaging properties, Nagashi can be used to destroy low rank earthen and wooden structures and even negate chakra on the ground to stop high ranked earth and wood techniques. It has also been noted that Lightning Specialists that have mastered Lightning to the highest degree can resist total paralyzation, although they still feel the pain and numbing effects.

That is basically why I didn't reply accordingly, guess I had to assume you fell to the ground and then we continued the training on the move.

I can tell that you like ninja tools lol. And while I like the technique and the combination, I have to ask, how are your planning to make handseals for the earth technique with strings attached to the tips of your fingers (since it is a custom technique, I had to assume it is similar to Sasori's strings, only without the puppets.) And you can put chakra to gain your balance, it has been done continuously to counter from this technique to even greater moving earth core. Since these techniques don't actually do any damage, the only effect is the balance and while it would vary from a technique to another according to the rank, you can get around remaining balanced for the duration of the technique. Of course, that doesn't mean the technique would have no effect on you, absolutely not. It would have an effect on you but as a Ninja you would act fast enough so that the effect wouldn't be deep. For example, in this technique, I would first lost balance a little bit and maybe even fall to my knee but then I would put chakra in my legs in order to be able to stand and withstand a posture, at least till the duration of the technique expires.

Since your teammates took more time than I had anticipated in order to use their chakra on the leaf, I will move on with you until they finish up. (I am going to drop them both if they don't reply in 10 days. Since they didn't leave me a note, I won't bother leaving one as well). After performing Ram → Dog → Rat → Bird handseals meanwhile gathering decent amount of chakra and using natural transformation to turn the chakra into earth chakra. Once done, focus the chakra into your hand as you slam it on the ground inches in front of you. The chakra would causes the ground to fall apart and turn into a tunnel which can be used as a sort of camouflage, it can also be used to avoid a technique with a long range. Keep in mind that, in order for you to use this technique or anything that hides you underground, you need to have your opponent's vision covered. That is mainly do avoid any disadvantages in the fight. I am going out of the box here, once you are done with making this technique I want you to name me one technique that this technique can help you avoid and other that can't. If you want to enumerate more, it is up to you, the more the better.

Sylar listened intently to Hashirama. Not only was he quite humorous but also uncommonly wise, knowing much about things that people couldn't possibly know. He admired that but at the same time craved such knowledge.

Anyways, Sylar stands still and focuses his mind for a bit. He can feel a slight breeze brush against his cheek. He extended his arms out a bit as he gathered his chakra. He continued as he performed the Ram → Dog → Rat → Bird handsigns. Slamming his hand on the ground, Sylar focuses his chakra to the ground before him (not to close or I'll fall in). Using the very earth in the same manner as Hiding like a mole technique, Sylar causes the ground to grind itself and compress to allow a hole to form. In time the tunnel becomes wide enough to comfortably fit even someone like Choji. The tunnel he created went underground all the way to the other side of the field they were in (forgot where we were >_>).

"From my perspective, one technique it could help you avoid is (Katon: Gōka Mekkyaku) - Fire release: Great Fire Majestic Annihilation. Considering the scale of the technique, it is easy to avoid using this one as soon as their vision becomes compromised. It helps that the technique isn't as fast so plenty of time to escape. As far as techniques, it wont work good with is a water technique especially larger scale ones that travel over large distances. Why? Because the water will get into the tunnel, drowning you in the process if you don't escape in time. Despite that, one should really watch out for earth techniques that alter the terrain as you could end up getting buried in the rubble."

Neji grabs a leaf, and begins concentrating hard on his chakra. Years of his Physical training and Spritual prowess, gathered together deep within his body, in order to start molding chakra. Though this chakra wasn't any normal type of chakra, Neji concentrated on Earth. The Earth element, one of strength and power, showcasing bravery and wisdom. A great element to use, since the source is usaully all around us, and also a very versatile element, despite its hard and rocky nature. He felt his molded chakra become thick, like that of Earth, as it was created, the chakra was being channeled through the tenketsu and reach the tenketsu of his palm where the leaf was, as a Hyuuga, he was naturally talented in transferring chakra through any of his tenketsu points, did so.

Hashirama looked closely at Sylar as he performed the technique. Although it was his first time, it was executed good enough. He seemed to have a promise, but he was still lacking precision and knowledge. He stayed quite as Sylar began stating what Hashirama has asked to, only to answer exactly what he wanted. A smile could be seen approaching Hashirama's cheeks as he opened his mouth; "Very well. You are correct on both sides. It would be good against anything that wouldn't be in contact with the ground such as water, however, if it doesn't block your opponent's vision, you are at a disadvantage mainly because your opponent would know where you are, however, you wouldn't know what he is up to. Be well aware of that, especially while using earth technique. Alright, so now to move on the next technique. Since you have completed Ninjutsu, you would know the jutsu needed for this technique which is Assimilated All Creation. But in case you have forgotten some details about it, it is a basic ninjutsu technique that grants you the ability to fuse with an inanimate passive object with which you can escape a lot. After you had used it to merge with the ground below (it has to be passive, meaning nothing with chakra inside it, other than your chakra. I have misused it before against a swamp thinking it would grant me the properties of a swamp, but that didn't work out because it had chakra in it. With that done, use the rocks that are fused with your body and potentially make up your body and shoot these rocks at a certain object. In this case, a tree would do. Then you can reform in wherever you want by collecting the rocks in just one place. Again, the same deal. What would it work against and what it wouldn't."

Having given the instructions to Sylar, Hashirama took another look on Ichigo and Neji. However, to his surprised, Ichigo wasn't there. He was gone. Normally, it would concern him, but that wasn't the case, Ichigo was a rude student to begin with. Hashirama decided to take it as it is and actually appreciate that he was gone. He looked at Neji only to see the leaf had turned into dust. "Good. Now you are ready to proceed with the techniques." - Hashirama said.

"Get up, close your eyes and do as I tell you. You are going to perform a really simple technique, however, because it is you first, it is going to be rather the hardest. Gather a small amount of chakra and channel it across your body throughout your tenketsu. Your target here is to channel them all the way to the ground, with your legs as the medium. You can focus them in your hands and then slam them on the ground for all I care, as long as the chakra is channeled to the ground, the mean is up to you. With that done, it would be time to use shape manipulation to manifest your chakra into the range you want. Since we are starting with small pillars, shields, walls and whatnot, the range wouldn't be that much, however, you can split your chakra to manifest several pillars, of course, with their powers split. After doing so, use natural transformation to finally use your chakra and create earth with it, with which you are free to create whatever you want. What is great about this technique is that you can create a lot of stuff about it, but it is power is pretty limited that it's job is about evasion more than counter. Once you are done, tell me a technique that this would work against, a technique this would fall against, a technique you would use this against as an evasion and a technique you would counter against with this. All of this is just to gather a complete grasp over your understanding of this technique." - finished Hashirama. He was getting hungry so he got some snacks from his pocket and kept an eye on both of his students.

Upon hearing his senseis intructions, Neji begins to focus on chakra and uses nature manipulation(as explained in the previous post on how he began to get doton chakra), being a hyuuga he was natural at channeling and releasing chakra at practically any tenketsu point Neji desired, hence once he had a sufficient amount of it, neji made sure to channel it through his arms, and sure enough through his hands, and quickly slams it down on the earth with all that doton chakra, and quickly uses Nature Shape manipulation to start shaping basic pillars in the shape of long cylinder with uniform chakra distribution so as to create well shaped and balanced pillars at mid range.

"Well done!'' - Hashirama said as Neji successfully created the earth pillar. He was ready to press on an further learn the art of earth. Sylar on the other hand was taking his time and Hashirama appreciated that. He seemed wise enough to calculate his acts and prepare himself, especially that he was going to perform two techniques at sequence.

"For the next one, I will have to teach you two techniques and that is mainly because this technique could only be done as a sequence to another one. This technique, which will be your first C-rank technique is a quite remarkable one. After gathering decent amount of chakra, you have two ways to turn the earth into sand. First, you can focus the chakra into your hand and then extend your hand while leaning your body towards the ground, once your hand touches the ground, you release the chakra out of it while turning the earth into fine sand with the method I stated before (Natural transformation, shape manipulation). Then, you continue digging your way into the ground. The second method would be channeling your chakra throughout your body, then through your legs into the ground to turn it into sand and then dig with your hands while continuously turning the earth into sand. This technique would give you a potential sense of what is happening upwards which is pretty important when it comes to earth techniques. Once you had made your way into the ground, the ground will return to it's normal state leaving no traces of your escape. Following up with the next technique, dig your way till you reach below your opponent and then focus small amount of chakra into your hand to break through the ground, grab your opponent's leg and drag him towards the ground throughout the hole you created with your hand so that only his head would be visible. You can then either get back to the surface and continue your attack or attack with only C-rank and below earth techniques from underground. Once you have done this to my Mokuton clone, tell me a technique each technique would be best against and a technique each of them wouldn't work against. And do it this time, you ignored it last time" - finished Hashirama as he made the snake handseal to make a Mokuton clone.
