(Doton: Kouzou Koutai) – Earth Release: Structural Shift
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Short - Long (Short Range to infuse objects ; Long Range control)
Chakra Cost: 30 (+10 chakra cost per object)
Damage Points: N/A (60 damage if used offensively)
Description: This is the brother technique to 'Water Release: Aquatic Touch'. The user will make direct contact with object(s) before focusing their doton chakra directly into their intended target. Through the use of this chakra, the user will apply a process similar to the one employed Earth Release: Hiding in Rock Technique. The target object will become capable of blending and traversing through rock, mud and other earthen materials (encompassed in doton release). The object can pass through any earth devoid of chakra, all of the user's own earth techniques and doton techniques of the opponents that are weaker than the user's own. If the user wishes instead for the whole object to become capable of merging through the earth, only select components (e.g. hilt or blade of a weapon) can be targeted. Since this technique only allows objects to pass through earthen materials, the converted object can still be held/interacted with. A unique thing about this technique is, while the doton-infused object is submerged/inside an earth source, the user can utilize hand gestures to control it and guide its path through the earth granting this jutsu a distinct offensive edge if used with bladed weapons. The object(s)' speed depends on the amount of chakra used - if fully concentrated on one object, then it would be at the same speed as the rank of the user, if split, then slower. While the infused objects are inside of the ground, the user can pinpoint their exact location and can choose to control specific tools (rather than all of them at once) by concentrating on solely them. If used on multiple objects, the total amount of chakra used for this technique will be equally divided up between the amount of infused objects. This technique cannot be used on people/summons, Custom weapons and sentient weapons (e.g. Samehada)
Note: Lasts three turns
Note: Can only be used thrice per battle
Note: Can only be taught by Negative Knight
Note: Object will only become capable of moving through Earth Release
Note: Can be used on more than one object (as many as the user can hold or touch at once during the infusion process)
Note: If path of object is interrupted by opponent, user loses control over it
Explain, perform or ask questions about the above technique.
