*you successfully resurface*
Good job.
Now, for the next Earth Jutsu
(Doton: Doryuu Jouheki) - Earth Style: Earth Rampart
Rank: C
Type: Supplenetary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: An earth jutsu that makes the earth rise like a Plateau and can be used with Waterfall Basin to make a waterfall.
It's a VERY useful jutsu. You can use it to get to higher ground to rain down powerful offensive jutsus on your opponents, you can use it to block attacks (if you use the jutsu in front of you), you can use it to create a wall behind your opponent so that they can't run backwards, etc. The possibilities are nearly endless. It has got to be one of my favorite jutsus.
And, it's pretty simple to use.
*I make a string of handseals, and the earth beneath me rises up to create a plateau, on top of which I stand.*
You make the handseals, and then you focus earth chakra wherever you wish to create the plateau. You must imagine your chakra rising up to create the rise in earth.
For starters, try to make the plateau beneath your feet.
