Alright, I subscribed to this thread so I'll be updated whenever you post so you won't have to link me or tell me everytime you reply ^^.

Now it's stated on my profile, but I'll let you know here, I will only respond on the weekends. I may respond on week days but those days are special occasions. I'll start you off monday but I probably won't respond until the Friday

Now then I want you to explain to me the following:

  • What is Earth Release
  • How Does this nature act
  • Relationships with other Elements (Standard and Advanced Elements)

Hint: What I'm asking for for the second bullet, I'm asking for you to use what you know of water and personify it. Use adj. to tell me your best interpritation of how this nature "acts" And for relationships with the other elements. I want more than the shallow relations of strengths, weaknesses and neutrality. I want you to tell me all of the former as well as how water can be used in conjunction with other elements, and not just the five elements, but other advanced elements as well. For help refer to

Any questions just ask

•What it Earth release? Well, earth release most of the time is channeling chakra into the earth and molding and controlling it to ones own advantage. Moving pieces of earth, shaping pieces of earth, and creating pieces of earth.
•How does this nature act? In accordance to other elements, earth, to me, is a defensive element. Although it can be offensive, it's uses are more beneficial to defensive tactics. Most earth techniques can defend against low level fire, water, and wind attacks. It acts defensive as well.
•Relationships with other elements: When used with water, you can create mud. When combined with water, you can use the KG wood. When used with fire, sometimes it can be a super heated earth. Not lava, but almost. When combined with fire, you can make lava. When lightning is used against earth, lightning will break through and destroy the earth. When someone can combine fire, wind, and earth, one can create the powerful dust, or particle, element.

humm, that was a descent answer. Now we can begin with the training.

The way I train is a little differently than most sensei. I use Lili-Chwan and Scorp's method of training which divides the techniques of an element into four categories. Each category will have a specific number of techniques based on the similarities between the techniques, regardless of rank. I will then teach you the basic concepts of the method and test you on your knowledge and then we will continue alright?
________________________

Method 1: Own Created
Method 2: Environment Manipulation
Method 3: Advanced Conversion
Method 4: Others

These are the four methods in this element. From this point on here is what we're going to be doing.

(1) I will give you the method and explain to you, in depth, what the method entails and then allow for any questions of clarrification

(2) I will give you bullet points of words/phrases that I will ask you to define/explain that will show me if you understand this method if I am satisfied with your explanations, we will continue. If not I will have you tweak them.

(3) I will then post all the jutsu within the category with full explinations and then you will have to do the following
~Explain the Advantages of the Method
~Explain the Disadvantages of the Method
~Discuss Strategies you could use with jutsu from this method
If I'm satisfied with these three aspects, we will continue and repeat the cycle from the top.

Any questions?

Method 1: Own Created

Alrighty the first method we'll be discussing is 'Own Created'. The most basic way I can explain this would be earth techniques that you produce from your body. The only thing that is used is your doton chakra to create earth from your body directly as opposed to manipulating existing earth. Now earth is a very versitile element meaning there will be several differing ways to manipulate and utilize the earth techniques. Even the techniques within the same method family are unique in many ways, the exceptions being-in this case-that all of these technqiues are self created. In order to better explain how the chakra usage would be for techniques of this method I would have to explain a few concepts first.

(1) Full Body Chakra Release techniques: This is essentially where you release chakra from every chakra point in your body to create a full body affect. Generally armor based techniques or techniques that completely coat your body for protective measures or other physical enhancement purposes are techniques that utilize this. A quick tangent onto the subject of genjutsu. I won't expand further on it as it would get too deep especially due to my genjutsu addiction. Full body release methods are one of the methods used to release genjutsu. Reason is, the surge of chakra from every pore in your body is releasing chakra, which would force out the foreign chakra in your brain that causes the genjutsu. However it is essential you pay attention to rank, because the level of genjutsu you can release is dependant on the rank of technique (example: B-ranked full body chakra release techniques of elements release C-rank and below A-rank releases B-rank and below. You need 1 rank higher than the genjutsu you're trying to disolve)

(2) Isolated Area Chakra Release: To put it simply, same concept as th full body only this time you're isolating the area and releasing chakra in a specific area instead of every part of your body.

(3) Projectiles: Techniques where you create a small projectile based object (an object that is launched) with a source from one part of the body and then launch it at your opponents. Generally exhaled or spat from the mouth.

Now that in mind, when you're doing techniques in this method, you take note to this. You're channeling your Doton chakra for whatever specific entity the technique entails and then the doton chakra manifests physically into the earth substance you're trying to create.

Oh ok. I get it. And I didn't know that's about the genjutsu!! Thanks! So basically, it consists of expelling chakra from my pores and manipulating it.

My apologies for last week
____________

Tell me how you would perform the following

  • Create a knife, sword, or general weapon:
  • Shoot one/several bullets of mud from your mouth:
  • Convert your skin into a steel like quality acting as armor:

It's all good about last week. No problem ^_^
____________

•For the weapons and such, I guess I would send my chakra into the ground, and mold it into the weapon of desire. Then, I would raise it out of the ground using my chakra and poof. There's my weapon.
•For the bullets, I would assume that it's similar to water bullet in which I would gather chakra into my stomach. I would make this chakra thick yet still liquid. After gathering enough chakra into my stomach, I would spit it out at use chakra to propel the bullet so that it moves at a damaging speed.
•For the last one, I would expel the earth chakra out of my all my pores equally. Right after leaving my pores I harden it on the surface of my skin so that the hardened earth chakra would cover my whole body like armor.

(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

While most of the times they're used as manipulation of the environment, I reckon you are able to materialize weapons/shields/small pieces of armor from your skin using earth chakra alone. If used as armor, these are merely planks of it localized in few parts of your body, like a chest plate or arm cuffs etc etc. Thus they're relatively light and do not prevent mobility.

(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.

Simple put, allows you to spit a sphere of mud.

(Doton: Kengan no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Fist Rock Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: After performing the snake → Seal of Confrontation and then by encasing their arm in rock, the user can deal a powerful hardened punch against an opponent while being protected from direct contact with their target. If necessary, the weight of the rock can be increased to further increase the punch's destructive power through the Earth Release: Added Weight Technique or the Earth Release: Super Added Weight Technique.

Similar to the first jutsu, but it's now specifically to create a glove of rock.

(Doton: Iwa Bunshin) - Earth Release: Rock Clone Technique
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user creates their clone out of stone. Unlike other types of clones the rock clones don’t disappear after being defeated but rather crumble like rubble. These clones can also be used to create a clone of other people than themselves but do not take on the abilities of the copied person.

Like before, you can create the clones from the ground or from your body, like they're coming from your skin. Quite a cool effect These can't use jutsus.

(Doton: Fukusuu no Dorosandan) - Earth Release: Multiple Mudshot Technique
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage point: 40
Description: This jutsu is basically a widespread version of the Mudshot Technique; allowing the user to fire at multiple targets.

Same as I taught you before, only it allows you to fire multiple globules.

(Doton no Yoroi) - Earth Release Armor
Rank: B
Type: Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20 (-15 per turn to remain active)
Damage points: N/A (+10 to taijutsu moves)
Description: This Technique coats the users body with stones, making them much more resistant to attacks, at the cost of their speed. Whilst using this technique, the user can even change their appearance, but once the technique is either defeated or worn off the users original appearance is shown. The user whilst in this armor is resistant to A rank normal ninjutsu but is vulnerable to Lightning Techniques.

Similar to the first, specialized in making armor, a better and larger one. I reckon you can change the armor design a bit, something like small spikes coming from your shoulders would be cool if you're shoulder slamming someone, for example. This encases your entire body in rock, as if creating a relatively thin layer over your body. But other than increasing your weight, thus taking a few nudges from speed, it doesn't hinder movement, as would have been expected. Though if we deal with master level taijutsu, if you have the exact same mastery as your opponent, using this jutsus you will be stronger and more resistant while your opponent will be faster and more flexible, but to the outside eye, the changes would be almost imperceptible.

(Doton: KageBunshin no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Shadow Clone Technique
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 25
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique creates a shadow clone made of mud of the user. Since its made of mud, it can continue to reform and mould itself back to its original shape. After reverting to mud, it can hold the opponent in place. The user can create upto three clones. They can also use up to C rank earth techniques.

Same as clones above, this ones can use jutsus though.

(Doton: Doryuheki) - Earth Release: Earth Style Wall Jutsu
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will first perform the Tiger → Hare → Boar → Dog and then creates a solid wall of earth as a form of defence. Chakra is either converted to earth within the body and then spat out to form the wall or the user can manipulate pre-existing earth to form the wall. The earth then instantly rises up and takes form. The barrier itself is also coated with chakra, making its strength incomparable to that of a normal mud wall. Because of the earth's special characteristics, the wall is highly resistant against, for instance, fire and water. Hizuren Sarutobi spits mud from his mouth to perform the jutsu whilst Kakashi creates a wall composed of bulldog sculptures to box-in Pain.

Allow you to spit mud which will quickly harden into a large wall.

(Doton: Iwa no Gōremu) – Earth Release: Stone Golem
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user expels a large creature composed of stone from his mouth. The rock golem has a fair amount of stamina and brute strength, being able to bite and tear off flesh with its mouth and hands respectively. If used from above the target then the user can use the earth golem to drop down onto the opponent like a bomb and crush them.

Allows you to spit out a golem. Can't use jutsus.

(Doton: Hanridoryūheki) - Earth Release: Flowing Earth Wall of 10,000 Miles
Rank: A
Type: Defensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: N/A
Damage points: The user and his clones simultaneously perform hand seals Ram - Snake and expel a stream of mud from their mouths, which solidify into multiple columns of earth. These grow from the floor and together form a hardened wall of defence, with great height, extent and length. This technique can be enhanced with the Lava Release: Rubber Wall making it equal to an S rank level defence however Lightning S rank can easily break through the wall.
Note: Can only be used with a minimum of 3 shadow clones.

Similar to the wall jutsu I taught you above, now stronger.

(Koka no Jutsu) - Hardening Technique
Rank: S
Type: Offense/Defence/Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40
Damage Points: N/A
Description: By utilizing earth-based chakra, the user creates armour made of rock that encases their body. The armour can also be used to create extendable weapons to strike a target with.

Same as above, stronger armor, the difference is this armor completely hinders one's movement, as you become attached to the ground. You are able to move your upper body fairly quick, allowing you a somewhat increased range, but still in short range.

(Doton: Dai iwa Kyojin no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Great Stone Golem Technique
Rank: S
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description: The user creates a even larger and stronger version of Earth Release: Stone Golem Technique

Same as above, stronger.
These are Lili's explanations from when she trained me, she does a fairly good job at explaining them. Any questions or concerns before we move on?

The Advanteges of this Method:
Disadvanteges of this Methods:
Strategies using techniques from this method:

note: I'm asking you to look at what I said to you in my explanation of the element and then the techniques and I want you to find out the properties that each technique shares with one another and explain to me the good similarities and bad similarities. This is to help you get a better understanding of how and when to use techniques and how and when not to, as well as how to defeat them when you fight against them. As for strategies, give me some general ideas and then give examples using some of the techniques, etc, etc. You're not limited to using only these techniques. Try thinking of combos with other skills you have or that wold compliment

•Advantages for creating weapons, armor, and such is that during close combat/short ranged fighting, one can quickly gain the advantage by using elemental jutsu and enhancing defensive or offensive power.
Disadvantages would include the fact that for weaker jutsu, it's obviously not that strong and can easily be dispelled by any lightning jutsu. Disadvantages of strong ones like above is that one can't move when their whole body is hardened by the earth armor.
•Advantages of shooting bullets of earth out of my mouth would be that I wouldn't have to control the earth beneath or around me to use it. Since its a gathering of chakra in the stomach, I assume that I wouldn't have to be standing on the ground to use it. Also, most reach into mid-range so one wouldn't have to be that close to use it.
Disadvantages include the fact that they have to travel to hit so one can just use earth wall or something else to dispel it before it hits.
•I kinda included this in number one but advantages of armor include high defensive power do defend from most low ranked attacks and taijutsu. Concentrating armor in a single body part like my hand can increase offensive power by adding elemental qualities to that part. Also, getting punched be a rock hand will hurt.
Disadvantages would be not being able to move in some cases and in others, like I said before, it can be ended with a lightning attack. Depending on the rank of armor of course.
•Strategies would include forcing someone into using armor and already having a lightning attack ready to go. Off the top of my head, other strategies include getting into taijutsu range and using armor and earth weapons. Also changing the earth armor itself to have spikes and such.

That's what I think off the top of my head.

Good work, now we'll move onto the next method.
____________

Method 2: Enviornmental Manipulation

This next method deals with techniques that utilize the earth around you. Unlike the last set of jutsu where you would use doton techniques from your earth chakra within you and manifest the earth itself, these techniques involve you releasing that doton chakra outwards into the enviornment for manipulation. You can essentially do the same as with the last set of techniques, create weapons and or objects, etc. However this set of techniques also gives one the ability to manipulate the structure of their enviornment around them allowing raise and/or lower the earth, deform the earth to allow you to change the environment for your own purposes, etc.

Any questions?
