Yeah, i could have opened an entrance but where's the fun in that? You're already familiar with my methods so this should go smoothly. Before we begin your Doton training let's find out what you know. Tell me all you know about earth release. Include its uses, forms, elemental strengths and weaknesses, related Kekkei Genkai, and possible results when mixed with other elements such as Fire.
You are right, there is no fun in just calling me in.
After hearing my sensei, I start to speak.
The earth element is one of the basic five nature transformations, it is been utilized when the user passes/sends chakra into an already existhng body of earth in order to control the earth. Or in some jutsus, the user could use the chakra from inside his body to form doton chakra that the user releases from his/her body.
The earth element is an element which is most suitable for defense because of its solid structure, it could also be used for attacks by making its edge sharp or utilizing its heavy weight to hit the target.
Earth is weak against lightning because when lightning strikes it, it shatters it because it is a solid. Earth is strong against water because earth has tiny pore spaces in them that readily absorbs any water body it touches.
Earth combines with Fire to form lava. Earth is also assossiated with Boil/Steam release because Lava is a component of Steam and Earth is a component of Lava. Earth also combines with Water to form Mud.
That is all i know sensei.
That's enough for now. Feel free to ask if you ever have a question for me.
Since you've never molded doton chakra before try acquiring a strong mental image of the nature of earth (a description of earth's characteristics) and mold a portion of your chakra to mimic that nature. When you've got the hang of it try channeling a small amount of doton chakra into the ground and manipulating the earth to raise three small pillars from the ground, each with a different shape.
(Doton No Jutsu) - Earth Release Technique
Rank: D
Type: Attack/Defence
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Descripton: Creates small pillars of earth, small tools, and small shields of earth
To begin, I clear my mind of everything and start to focus on one thing which is the image of earth then at once, i start to focus on my chakra system and chakra flow. I then try to mimic my raw chakra to form the earth element by making my raw chakra dense and hard but I couldn't finish it then I tried again but this time, I did it with more concentration and I was able to build up the doton chakra. After building up the doton chakra, I quickly channel it from my body into the ground, controlling the ground to raise three small pillars of earth from within the ground.
Then I yelled I did it sensei!!!
Once again, I clear my mind of everything and start to focus on one thing which is the image of earth then at once, i start to focus on my chakra system and chakra flow. I then try to mimic my raw chakra to form the earth element by making my raw chakra dense and hard then I continue to focus much more harder than before then I quickly channel the doton chakra from within me into the ground beneath me then I use the doton chakra in the ground to erect a pillar of earth with a cuboid shape out of the ground with the doton chakra that I infused into the ground.
"I guess I will create two more" I say as I once again start to focus on my chakra system and chakra flow then I focus and concentrate harder to turn my raw chakra into doton chakra by making my raw chakra dense and hard. Then I channel the built up doton chakra into the ground, utilizing it to erect two pillars from the ground with a cylindrical shape and pointy edge.
Alright. Now hold out your hand and raise a chunk of earth from the ground. Apply shape manipulation to it and form a staff you can use as a weapon. It is possible to throw it or even create multiple staffs but you'll only need one for now. Fight off this guy.

(Doton: Gansetsukon) - Earth Release: Rock Section Cane
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary/Offense
Range: Short (Mid on throw)
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: This technique allows the user to take a small chunk of rock and turn it into the shape of a staff. The user can then use it as a melee weapon or throw it with pinpoint accuracy at their opponent. A variation of this technique allows the user to create several staffs and launch them at the target, but with less accuracy.
Noticing the pein and hearing all what my sensei said, I start to focus on my chakra system and chakra flow then I concentrate further to turn my raw chakra into doton chakra by making my raw chakra dense and hard. I then grab a chunk of rock from the ground and I channel the already built doton chakra into it to allow me carve the chunk of rock into an earth staff which I hold tightly with my right hand. Then I use the earth staff to hit the pein's leg to stop the spinning kick then I move to the pein's back while pushing the earth staff through the pein's neck to pin the peins head to my head(with the back of my head facing and touching the back of the pein's head) then I bend over while pulling the earth staff to pin the peins neck higher raising the pein of the ground with his neck(with the pein dangling about in mid-air pulled up by his head) in order to squeeze the pein's neck and successfully stop the pein's breathing thereby killing the pein.
Nicely done. Now gather doton chakra around your arm and produce a ring of floating rocks near it before hurling them at your target using your chakra. Strike him out.

Seeing the pein with the bat and after listening to my sensei, I quickly begin, to focus on my chakra system and chakra flow then I continue further by turning my raw chakra into doton chakra by making my raw chakra dense and hard. I then channel the already built doton chakra into my right arm, I then release the doton chakra around my right arm to form a ring of floating rocks around my right arm. Then I look at the pein and with sharp precision, I hurl the rocks at the pein, hitting the pein in several parts and killing the pein.
And also hearing my sensei for the second time, I continue once again by focusing on my chakra system and chakra flow then I continue further by turning my raw chakra into doton chakra by making my raw chakra dense and hard. I then look up and spot a dummy and quickly, I channel the already built doton chakra into the ground and send it to the ground around the dummy then with cutting edge design and more focus, I use my doton chakra in the earth around the dummy to erect four pillars of earth around the dummy. I then control the earth pillars(with the aid of my chakra in it) to rush inwards at the dummy thereby hitting the dummy from four different directions and successfully shatter the dummy.

I then look up and spot a dummy and quickly, I channel the already built doton chakra into the ground and send it to the ground around the dummy then with cutting edge design and more focus, I use my doton chakra in the earth around the dummy to erect two giant pillars of earth from beside the dummy. I then use my doton chakra in the earth pillars to control the earth pillars to rush inwards and crush the dummy in the middle thereby destroying the dummy.
You got it. Here is the best method of underground travel. You will need to channel doton chakra around your body, transforming the ground you are touching into fine sand that will be easy to dig through swiftly. Not only that, while you are underground you should be able to sense your location and people on the surface through the earth's magnetic fields. Finish this obstacle course. I recommend cheating.

(Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Hiding like a mole technique
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user changes earth into fine sand by channeling chakra into it, allowing the user to dig through it like a mole. While underground one can sense what is happening on the surface and use the information to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. Once can also hide deep in the ground, escaping to a depth where the enemy cant reach. It also appears that after digging, the ground can be returned to its original state, leaving no trace of where the user entered the earth. While inside the earth, the user cannot make handseals and can only use Earth techniques below C-Rank. If he tries to do a higher ranked technique, he'll disrupt the Hiding like a mole technique and be left crushed.

Noticing the obstacles, I quickly thought of another way then at once, I start to focus on my chakra system and chakra flow and focus harder to turn my raw chakra into doton chakra by making my raw chakra dense and hard. I then channel the built doton chakra into the ground to turn the ground into fine sand(which is easy to dig) I then dig through it, moving underground in a semi circle-like manner and dig out at the end of the course, grabbing the trophy and lifting it up high in joy as I say I did it, I did it..
Then noticing the line of pein's, I start to wonder Is today a tournament day? Whatever it is, I don't care. Nothing will stop me from reaching my goal. Then I quickly start to focus on my chakra system and chakra flow and focus harder to turn my raw chakra into doton chakra by making my raw chakra dense and hard. I then channel the built doton chakra into the ground and pass it to the earth under the second pein in the row and by pointing at him, I quickly erect 5 sharp pillars of earth from the ground below the 2nd pein to hit and pierce the second pein hard and deep making the second pein collapse and die.
I then quickly notice a pein running with a stack of manga with him and I also notice the other peins trying to catch him Selfish fool I say in anger as I quickly start to focus on my chakra system and chakra flow and focus harder to turn my raw chakra into doton chakra by making my raw chakra dense and hard. I then channel the doton into the ground to spread all over the ground and then I utilize my doton chakra in the ground to manipulate the earth to shake thereby knocking the pein off balance, causing him to fall and then the other peins descend on him and take all the mangas Just make sure you give me those mangas when you are done reading them I say loudly.
Excellent. Now simply produce mud in your mouth as a thick, sticky blob and spit it at your target. As an attack it's hardly damaging but aim at the face and you could blind and choke the enemy. It could also work as a sticky trap if aimed at the floor. Ruin his day.

(Doton: Dorosandan) – Earth Release: Mudshot
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 10
Description: The user spits a thick globule of mud at the target. If aimed correctly, it can blind the target's vision and choke them. It can also be used to create a sticky patch on the ground.
*leads you to a large cave*
Next, manipulate the rock in the ceiling of this cave to separate the rocks holding up the ceiling. This will make them come loose and cause the entire ceiling to collapse and fall on anyone inside. Not limited to caves only, the damage varies with the size of the earthen structure, meaning a large enough stucture can damage the enemy like an A rank technique. However, the falling rocks aren't fortified or manipulated by chakra so they are also easy to defend against. Try it out.
*a few Peins are in the cave telling scary stories around a fire*

(Doton: Iwa Yado Kuzushi) - Earth Release: Stone Lodging Destruction
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A (up to 60)
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 perform the Tiger handseal and transform the ground beneath your target into a river of mud to make him lose his balance as he is carried away from you. Watch out, one of these guys is getting a bit rape-y o_o

Noticing the pein, I quickly start to focus on my chakra system and chakra flow and focus harder to turn my raw chakra into doton chakra by making my raw chakra dense and hard then I channel the built doton chakra into my throat and then I shape manipulate the doton chakra in my throat to form several globules of mud which I spit out with great accuracy and speed at the pein to choke the pein and end the pein's joy.
Entering the cave and noticing the peins activities, I felt it was stupid so I gently move out of the cave then I quickly start to focus on my chakra system and chakra flow and focus harder to turn my raw chakra into doton chakra by making my raw chakra dense and hard. I then channel the built doton chakra into the walls of the cave then with the help of my chakra, I control the walls to move away there by leaving the ceiling with no support and making the ceiling collapse on the peins and crush the peins.
Finally, noting the path of pein behind me, I quickly make the tiger handseal and then I begin to focus on my chakra system and chakra flow and focus harder to turn my raw chakra into doton chakra by making my raw chakra dense and hard I then channel the built doton chakra into the ground and channel it to the earth under the asura path's feet. I then utilize my chakra to shape manipulate the earth under asura path's feet to a river of mud that is flowing away from me to knock the asura path off balance and flush him away from me.
Great. Now perform the Ram, Horse, and Dragon handseals before manipulating the mud you just created into the shape of a dragon's head. Then have it gather mud and condense it into several balls within its mouth fired at your target. That guy looks like he's getting up. Finish him!
