I'm too busy to set a general theme for the RP-ness of things, but imagine it's in a hellish mountain land with fire erupting randomly like Geysers. :)

Don't expect too much from this, I'm freeballin' without a wiki. :3
==============

As I walk upon the heinous field which Xanthe-senpai has cast upon the land, I walk over to him, in shock and awe of what's happened. There's a massive crevace which seems to be on fire, and the ground is pitch black. Considering this is Earth training, it would seem like an appropriate choice, but something tells me he's gone overboard.

This is a little overboard Xanthe, can't you just tone it down a bit? -_-

But anyway, while you're explaining everything which should be done, I take a quick note on a scroll which has magically appeared in my hands with a pen and then explain everything you want.

"Earth, in relation to the real world is basically everything around us. The ground, all the minerals which surround us and everything which doesn't seem to be man-made is the earth. It's found in almost everything I would assume, from sand, trees and everything. In relation to the Narutoverse though, it shares some very similar properties, except it's more should I say "earthish" in terms of being composed of dirt and mud, instead of minerals.

In the order of the basic five elements, Earth is naturally strong against Water, as it would stop it in it's tracks; Earth is intangible and Water struggles to parse through it. I know technically it's neutral, but some Wind jutsu would struggle against it as well. Jutsu such as the Hurricane Fist would struggle to parse through Earth. But for a surefire strength, maybe Boil Release, since it's vapors wouldn't be able to parse through the Earth. One weakness is Lightning attacks, as it's able to rip through the earth easily.

I would consider Earth to be more of a defensive element, rather than offensive. From what I've seen, Earth is much more effective in a solid form, which is best used for jutsu such as a shield technique or a wall. While it can be used for offensive purposes, it's much better suited for defense.

Earth seems to have relationships with everything except Lightning considering it's the weakness. When combined with Water, it can create Wood Element, a jutsu used by Hashirama Senju and Yamato. With Fire can create Lava, used by Mei Terumi and Kurotsuchi. With Wind and Fire together it creates Dust, the kekkei tota used by Onoki.

I'm sure I don't need to do this part, but I'll do it anyway. There are a few pure Earth users in the Narutoverse. One being Hiruzen Sarutobi, known for being a powerful user in all jutsu. Another is Onoki, the Tsuchikage who can use powerful Earth jutsu easily. One more would be Yamato, who is capable of using the element because it's a requirement in the Wood Element."​

After I've finished, I take a quick breath since that took a lot out of me and wait for what you want me to do next.

:3 Goodie. Best Earth reply so far. I like to make it long and very boring at first so that way, students find the rest of the training more exciting. ^_^

Anyways, excellent answer >: 3 Now, we are going to first meditate on Earth. *Forms a rock below you that lifts you up on it.* Feel the earth through meditation and understand its properties, both physically and metaphorically, as well as how it makes you feel. While you do this, I will gather chakra paper for the next step. Now meditate! >: D *Runs off to get chakra paper.*

As I've finished I can feel a shuff of earth arising underneath me, which holds me at a height that I wouldn't be able to drop down so easily. From the rising it feels like an elevator ride when you're going up and gravity is pushing against you. After heeding your instructions I sit down with my legs crossed in a meditating position and close my eyes, thinking of nothing but earth and it's properties. Before I close my eyes though, I notice Xanthe-senpai running away.

You mean that's it? You're just going to leave me here alone?

After I finish worrying about your sudden absence, I begin to settle down, and focus on my meditation, thinking of nothing but the earth. I begin to think of all the minerals which would go into the earth, all the dust particles and how hard it is when I feel the earth itself. When I'm doing this, I slide my hands across the plateau which I'm currently sitting on to get a better feel for it. How grainy the soil is, and how rough the textures are. Next I begin to imagine what it would be like in a liquid form, if water were running through it, and how it would feel when it's really muddy. I can begin to just imagine what the mud would consist of, how thick it would make the earth, and also how versatile.


==============
I'm not sure if you want anymore, so I'll leave it at that.

*Walks back carrying a stack of chakra paper.* Good, looks like you have been meditating, what did you learn about Earth and what-not? ^^

As I am still meditating, I can hear a rustling of paper in the near distance. I snap out of my stance, only to see Xanthe-senpai back with a stack of unusual paper. After you begin explaining though, I get up, while explaining what I've learnt.

"Well I didn't exactly have a lot of guidance, or an epiphany or anything amazing like that, but I did learn that earth is quite a substancial element, and diverse. You can create it to make it feel hard like rocks, or combine it with water to make a muddy substance, and all kinds of things. There's much more I've learnt about it, like the textures of earth, and how I can use all these small details to my advantage in battle."​

I jump off the pillar of earth which you created for me eariler, and walk over to you expecting that you'd want me to take a look at your paper.

Good. You have described the physical properties and metaphorical properties. This next exercise is to train your ability to change your chakra nature easily. You will first grip a chakra paper in between your index and middle finger while you focus on your chakra. This is what the meditation was for, you will then take all the properties of Earth you just explained to me and infuse those properties into your very chakra network. By doing so, you will have changed your chakra nature. A change in chakra nature is essential for performing any of the elements. We will see if you can perform a change in chakra nature to Earth by observing the chakra paper. When you change your chakra nature, the chakra paper should react without you having to place any chakra inside of it. The reaction between your chakra and the chakra paper should cause the chakra paper to turn into dirt and begin to crumble away. Now try it out. *Hands you the first chakra paper sheet.*

While I'm walking to you, I take the first piece of chakra paper while you're explaining and holster it between my fingers. When you finish your explanation on what I should do, I begin trying to mould chakra, but with the pretense that I'm using the earth to create Earth chakra. I start taking those feelings and thoughts from my meditation eariler on board when moulding this chakra though, thinking about how thin those small layers of dust are on the ground, the thickness and density of the earth itself and all the minerals as well. I start to absorb those feelings inside, of the grainy textures and whatnot into my chakra, and focus it more inside of myself to create Earth chakra.

"Did I do it, senpai?"​

Excellent. Now continue this process until the act of changing your chakra nature becomes second nature for you and you can do it in about a moment.

"Fine, I'll continue this then..."​

As instructed, I take another sheet of chakra paper and continue the process. Thinking about those properties of Earth from before, the textures which come with it and infusing those feelings with my chakra to make it Earth-like. Then by focusing my chakra again with those properties, the chakra paper between my fingers crumbles into dust. I repeat this process with the rest of the chakra paper. During this process though I can feel like the time for me creating Earth chakra is sped up and incrasingly faster with each piece of chakra paper crumbled to dust. After a couple of hours though, the chakra paper seems to have all crumbled to dust making a miniature mountain which would be suitable for ants. I can see Xanthe getting bored though, and just wonder if I've done a good job or not.

Are all the papers gone? @_@ If they are, you should be ready to start learning jutsu now.

We are going to start with basic manipulation of the earth. You are going to use your chakra and release it into the ground nearby. By releasing it into the ground and then shaping the chakra into whatever shape you want, you can change the chakra nature of the chakra and then infuse it into the ground. You will then manipulate that chakra and use your chakra to move the earth with your chakra. You will first be forming your chakra into a long rectangular prism that you will pull up out of the ground to form a small pillar.

"Well of course I finished all the papers silly, why would you think differently?"​

Firstly, by taking what I've learnt from earth chakra and how to utilize it, I take those things from which I've learnt prior to this and mould some Earth chakra real quick. From that point on, through my feet I implement that chakra with the ground, giving me control over the nearby ground. From there using the chakra I've used within the ground, and using shape manipulation I attempt to move the earth. Firstly using the shape manipulation I try to create a small pillar with the earth, forming it into a rectangular pillar. I attempt to erect the pillar to be about the size of someone's leg in height, but in width quite large to be able to support at least a person.

My vision was blurry from my nap @_@ Excellent. Now using the same method, form a small wall.

"Maybe you should get contacts..."​

Using the same features from before with my chakra, I infuse it with the ground again using my feet. This time instead of creating a pillar though I try to create a small wall which would be able to shield me from incoming projectiles such as kunai and shuriken. Using shape manipulation and great chakra control, I erect a small wall which is wide, but thin so it shields me from small things. I even go to the length of lining it with chakra to strengthen it even more and protect myself from stronger attacks.

"Stronger contacts then? >_>"​

So like before, I mould my earth chakra within myself to create something which I can use as a base for these techniques. I force this chakra into the ground, and using shape manipulation arise a small pillar from the ground. Once this is happening, I use even more shape manipulation to shape the pillar into several kunai for myself to use, as well as a few shuriken. To test them out, I take these shuriken and kunai in a nice fashion, and throw them towards the geyser of fire which just erupted.

Good o.o Now the next technique involves making a staff that you can use to fight in close-range and throw at people. You can also make a bunch of staffs at once and launch them out of the ground and at the target at one time.

Using the same method from before with the earth chakra and whatnot, I try to focus chakra into creating more earth for me, but really thin, but sturdy so I can wield it like a staff. With this thin, but sturdy staff, I practice a few swings with it to test it out, and it goes well, and I finish with throwing it into the crater nearby. Next, I do the same thing, but erect many staves and using the chakra-infused ground, throw them with such a force that it would scatter everywhere upon penetration.

Good.

(Doton: Ganban Kyu) - Earth Release: Bedrock Coffin
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Mid/Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After performing the Rat hand seal, the user to control multiple sections of rock and move them around their opponent. The user then forms two gigantic sections that crush the opponent.
This jutsu allows you to perform a Rat hand seal and as you form it, the ground around the opponent at mid/long range will begin to form two sections that are opposite each other. They move together to form the sections of rock by forming multiple long pillars that curve and mass together to form a large section of rock. This is done on both sides of the opponent in order to cause the sections of rock to smash the target in between them.
