Basically, it imbues objects with doton chakra and allows them to travel through the earth like the Hiding in Rock technique. They can move through normal ground, all of your own doton techniques and B-Rank and below of your opponent's techniques. You can control their path through the earth through hand gestures
(Doton: Tsuba no Fumou Gama) – Earth Release: Saliva of the Acrid Toad
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This technique is the brother technique to 'Water Release: Sweat of the Bloated Pig'. The user will focus their doton chakra into a nearby construct of solid earth before converting either its rocky exterior or interior into a thick, dense swamp (similar in composition to Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld). The newly formed fluid will exhibit one of the following properties: adhesiveness, slipperiness or volatility (flammable). Against certain techniques (E.g. Fist Rock Technique or Earth Armour), the user can convert the exterior either into a glue-like substance to bind the opponent to their own technique even when they wish to shed it or convert the interior into a bulky mass of swamp, so the technique becomes drastically heavier and acts as an effective anchor mechanism. Alternatively, the user can use this to cause the hilt of earthen weapons to secrete a very slippery substance which makes it impossible to hold onto the said weapon(s). Unlike Swamp of the Underworld, the released swamp can be quite flammable in composition, meaning it will readily ignite and burst into a maelstrom of flame if struck by fire or unfocused lightning (after its fully formed). To use this on one's own techniques (or substances devoid of chakra) requires no contact with the target substance, simply the use of the Dog Handseal. To use this on the opponent's techniques requires direct contact with the target substance (in similar manner to the Added/Light Weight Earth techniques). Similar to other doton techniques, the formation of the swamp can be offset by channeling an unfocused current of lightning into the affected earthen construction.
Note: Can only be used three times per battle
Note: Can only be Taught by Negative Knight
Note: Cannot be used on consecutive turns
Note: Can only be used on Earth Release Techniques
Note: Follows Elemental Strengths and Weaknesses
Turns the interior/exterior of techniques into heavy mud which can be sticky, slippery or flammable.
(Doton: Tsukaimono no Tsuchi) – Earth Release: Gift of Gaia
Rank: C-S
Type: Offensive/Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra Cost: 15-40 (-10 chakra per turn)
Damage Points: 30-80
Description: The user will perform the Boar Handseal and focus their doton chakra into a nearby statue or life-like construct (e.g. golem, gargoyle, etc) and utilize this released chakra to grant it a degree of sentience (similar to Earth Release: Stone Golem). The chakra will flood the earthen substance and bring it under the control of the user for three turns before reverting to its previous inanimate state. Beings brought to life via this method will only be capable of basic functions within the confines of their physical capability e.g. humanoid figures can run/walk, winged figures are capable of flight, etc. To use this technique on earthen constructs without the need for direct contact, only requires for one condition to be fulfilled. Both the user and the target structure require contact with the ground. After being brought to "life", the creation has a mind of its own and can act independently.
E1 - This technique is used to bring small animals and dolls constructed from earth to life. In terms of size, this type can usually fit in the user's hand and its maximum size can be equivalent to that of an average human head. Their small size makes them ideal for stealth as they're capable of staying hidden. These constructions are C-Rank in power.
E2 - This technique is used to bring human-sized constructions to life (e.g. gargoyles and other doton statues to life). These constructions are B-Rank in power.
E3 - This technique is used to bring earthen constructions significantly larger than human beings to life. Their size can range from between three meters and the size of the A-Rank Stone Golem. These constructions are A-Rank in power.
E4 - This technique is used to bring the largest doton constructions to life. Their size exceeds that of the A-Rank Stone Golem and has no real bounds or limits. This technique can even be used to bring constructions on the scale of the statues at "The Valley of the End" to life. Unlike all of the other variants, E4 requires significantly more exertion to maintain and so while active the user can only use Doton and non elemental abilities. These constructions are S-Rank in power.
Note: Lasts for three turns
Note: Only one construct can be brought to "life" per use
Note: Can only be used twice per battle
Note: Can only be taught by Negative Knight
Note: Can only be used on Earth Release Techniques
Note: If direct contact with the construct is made, this technique can be performed without the need for handseals.
Note: Constructs only possess physical capability and can not use jutsus
Brings earthen stuff to life through the use of doton chakra. Needs handseals if you're not in contact, doesn't if you are.
(Doton: Kuraitoru no Jajjimento) – Earth Release: Scales of Judgement
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A (+10 chakra cost to techniques if weight is altered)
Damage Points: N/A (up to +10 damage if Weight Added, -10 damage if Weight decreased)
Description: This technique is the daughter technique to both the Added/Light Weight techniques. The user will activate an ability which allows them to infuse earth chakra into their own earth-based techniques (KG/CE variants included e.g. Steel, Crystal, etc) for the following five turns. This ability essentially allows techniques used by the user to be created with a weight gain or reduction, depending on the user's wish. Techniques can be bolstered in weight to provide them with more force and by extension, their capability to inflict damage (only if feasible), all of this at the cost of their speed (decrease proportional to amount of weight added). Techniques can also be lightened to increase their movement speed proportional to the weight removed, but will inevitably suffer from a significant reduction in damage. However, an increase in damage will only affect techniques moving in downward direction (e.g. Dropping Lid), on all other techniques the weight gain will not affect the amount of damage they inflict. The user can freely switch between the addition or removal of weight for different techniques, so while technique A can be created with a weight increase, technique B can be created with a weight decrease and technique C can be created with its weight left unaltered. Logically, this technique will not work with all techniques but it will work with most (projectiles, some terrain manipulation techniques, etc). Anything utilized from the body or which emerges from the ground can have its weight altered. Techniques which emerge from the earth will surface much more quickly/slowly depending on how their weight was altered. Armours or hardening techniques used will either become bulkier or more maneuverable. Techniques such as Sticky Earth Drop can only have the weight of the mud increased but rather than increasing in weight the mud simply becomes "more solid" and harder in consistency (a partial petrification of sorts) and hence can still benefit from the damage boost if applicable. Infusion techniques which imbue objects/people with a particular property will also alter the weight of the targeted substance (When used in conjunction with the Added/Light Weight techniques, the weight of the object/person can be altered to a higher degree). This technique can only increase or decrease the weight of the affected substances up to scale factor of 10x (ten times above or below its weight). Activating this ability is instant and does not consume any time whatsoever. The reason this technique's activation is instant is because stand alone it does not do anything and its effects are only initiated when the user utilizes another earth-based jutsu.
Note: Lasts three turns
Note: Can only be used thrice per battle
Note: Can only be Taught by Negative Knight
This basically infuses your earth-based (includes KG/CE) techniques for the next three turns with extra doton chakra
[7:29:16 PM] Negative Knight: You can create the said techniques with a weight gain or reduction
[7:29:30 PM] Negative Knight: e.g. you can make a hardening tech armour which is ten times lighter than normal
[7:29:39 PM] Negative Knight: or a dropping lid ten times heavier than normal
[7:29:59 PM] Negative Knight: It can be combined with almost any type of earth-based tech
[7:30:03 PM] Negative Knight: even the added/light weight techs
[7:30:13 PM] Negative Knight: so you can alter the weight of something by a scale factor of 1000
Basically, it imbues objects with doton chakra and allows them to travel through the earth like the Hiding in Rock technique. They can move through normal ground, all of your own doton techniques and B-Rank and below of your opponent's techniques. You can control their path through the earth through hand gestures
Yes, they have to be premade (though not necessarily through the usage of a technique e.g. statues). They need to vaguely resemble any sort of animate creature e.g. a golem or a gargoyle.
