Previous training with Ahmed. ^^​

 

[Kerrah]

Let's begin then :3

It appears to me you didn't get a reply in from your previous training with Ahmed, so firstly we'll just post for that to finish the jutsus he posted.

( Doton: Iwa Rendan ) - Earth Release: Rock Barrage

Spoiler

Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will concentrate their chakra into their arm and then release their chakra creating a ring of rocks that are then flung at the opponent.

From now on, I'll be posting jutsu before you perform it instead of after. We've also advanced a rank, so we'll be learning two jutsus per post for some time before we start doing three.


(Doton: Ganban Kyu) - Earth Release: Bedrock Coffin

Spoiler

Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Mid/Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After performing the Rat hand seal, the user to control multiple sections of rock and move them around their opponent. The user then forms two gigantic sections that crush the opponent.

Channel your doton chakra the ground as you perform the rat handseal. Use your chakra to take control of multiple sections of rock and make them rise around your opponent. Then form two gigantic sections (from the ones already made, I think) And make them crush your opponent.
A good jutsu for attacking your opponent while also creating a line of sight breaker.

(Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Hiding like a mole technique

Spoiler

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.

One of the best doton jutsu ever if you ask me. You can hide from your opponent while being able to move around and also being able to sense what goes on the surface. Because you dig space instead of merging with the ground, you can dig up enough space to sneak someone with you (Eg; a clone). Keep in mind, once you're in a cavity you've dug, you can't use another jutsu then go back to digging. If you do, you'll have to reuse this jutsu, this is because you channel your doton chakra into the ground to soften it to ease the digging. Also, keep in mind that if you use offensive techniques, you're likely to cause the roof to fall over you.
Channel your chakra into the ground and manipulate its coherence to make it soft and smooth. As you dip your hands into it, it will show little to resistance, so dig in and crawl into the gap you make. Keep channeling your chakra up so you can feel everything that is standing on the floor.

I perform the rat handseal and start channeling a decent amount of Doton chakra into the ground. While maintaining the handseal, I use the gathered chakra to make several sections of rocks rise from the ground. I then use the chakra inside the sections to make them merge together and form two larger sections. Using the chakra inside the two sections, I make them move towards each other which would result in crushing what is between them.

Question: I take it this jutsu is fairly easy to counter as first of all several sections rise, they merge together and then crush your opponent and thus it takes some time?

---

I start by gathering chakra into the ground underneath me and use it to soften the ground and it allows me to sink into it. As I'm in the ground, I use my chakra to soften the earth around me which allows me to dig my way towards you under the ground. While digging, I keep sending chakra out into the earth above me which allows me to sense what is above me. When I sense you, I dig upwards and once I'm out of the hole I stop channeling chakra into the ground and it becomes solid again.

Another question: I read the jutsu list a bit, if your opponent knows you're under ground can he kill you by making the earth shake and thus making the ceiling of the tunnel fall down on you? Or would it be more effective by creating spikes which rise from the ground and would thus also pierce what's inside of the tunnel?

Yeah, the technique itself is not the most offensive that Doton can provide for the user. However in cases where it is preceded by something that would distract the opponent it could be quite effective, since their mind would not be concentrating on the slabs erupting out of the Earth.

As for the second question, yes. I highly recommend not using this technique in cases where your opponent has a clear perception of you, as then you are completely open to be attacked. The most common case of defeating someone whilst using this technique is to use ''Swamp of the Underworld'' because the thick mud would suffocate them, causing near to instant death. Though there are various ways one can go in attacking, since the movement between going into the Earth and then coming out isn't as fast as people make it out to be; hence you can use spikes to protrude them whilst underground, though breaking of the ceiling of the tunnel would vary depending on the size of the whole made from the technique, as the width would be dependent on that.

Now we will take this another step further, by learning a small and simple combo. Begin by standing firm and still, and without any suspicious movement, simply send your chakra into the ground beneath you and your opponent. Using that chakra, cause the very Earth to move about, by causing tremors on the structure, this will cause the Earth to shake violently, making your opponent fall onto the ground. Not hurting him to a great extent, but the main purpose of the tremor is to make him lose his balance and thus be open for a sneak attack.

Talking about sneak attacks, after you've formed the tremor and shook the ground, which in turn causes your opponent to fall, follow on with performing a single hand sign *shows* And again, send your Earth chakra into the ground. Then, forcefully manipulate the properties and structure of the Earth, making it form itself into a vast number of spikes that protrude out of the ground, at the same time as your opponent is falling, making him fall into a depending doom where he is stabbed and penetrated through all the spikes.

I see, so the best option would be by first letting a jutsu come from above him? Or even a few kunais that would fall down on him?

Okay, got it ^_^

I place my feet firmly on the ground and start sending Doton chakra through them into the ground. I make my chakra spread so that it is gathered in a large area underneath you and myself. When I have gathered enough chakra in the ground, I channel some chakra into my feet so that I won't lose balance and continue by using the chakra in the earth to make it shake. Due to the ground suddenly starting to shake, you'd lose balance.

Immediatly after making the ground shake, I use the chakra that already was gathered in the ground and perform a single handseal to make several spikes rise from the ground next to you. Ofcourse I made them rise at a fair distance from you so that you wouldn't be pierced by the spikes which were made very sharp by using my chakra to manipulate and compress the earth.

I feel like the second jutsu is very usefull. Could it be a good idea to make spikes rise from the ground when your opponent is in the air. So that if he were to land, he'd be pierced and thus be forced to use another jutsu to evade the spikes.

Well yes, something to hinder him from the environment around him so he'll be caught by surprise when the slabs come out, is acceptable and good. ^^

Well done!

(Doton: Ganchūsō) - Earth Release: Stone Spikes
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: This technique lets the user create a few rock pillars that will protrude from the ground to skew the target. The rock pillars will even pass through obstacles to reach their target

(Doton: Yochi no Douyou) - Earth Release: World Shaking
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will concentrate and release their chakra into the ground to create a small tremer that can result in harming the enemy target.

Yes, you're absolutely correct. The spikes are very essential and a key component to the versatility of Earth itself, you can pretty much make these from any surface of Earth. Be it be from the side of a mountain, from a wall raised up or even from a normal patch of ground itself. The best way to equip this jutsu though, would be to have accurate timing and precision. Like the example you stated, if someone is coming down from the air, with the right mindset as to when to use this jutsu it could be a real killer even though it is just a C-rank.

Moving on now, I want you to stand firm and straight, concentrating on the Doton chakra in yourself. Then, begin to channel it throughout your body, specifically more towards your gullet and mouth. At that place, forcefully change the properties of chakra in your mouth by mixing it with your saliva to produce mud. Then in a simple and elegant manner, spit out the quantity of mud you have in your mouth, using shape manipulation to form it into a thick globule. The trajectory path of the globule is up to you, as if you aim for your opponents lower area it'll form a sticky patch rendering their movement, and if you aim it higher up towards their head the mud will blind them, it's all up to you.

Alright ^_^

I begin by gathering a decent amount of Doton chakra within me and once I have gathered enough chakra, I direct it into the area around and in my mouth. Once the chakra is there, I gather a some saliva and use the chakra to mix the two of them so that the chakra becomes mud like. I then open my mouth and spit the mud out towards a nearby tree, as the mud travels I use my chakra within to to shape it into a globule.

I immediatly thought of something when I saw this jutsu, can it be mixed with fire? Either by a clone while the original spits out the mud or when the mud is on the ground as a patchy substance and the user would then use a fire jutsu on it. I take it the mud and fire would mix and become like lava?
And then my next question Would the lava be strong against both wind (fire>wind) and water (earth>water)?

Yes, it definitely can. Mud is a flammable substance, though while you won't be able to follow with a fire technique in some circumstances due to the speed of the techniques, it is perfectly adequate for an acquaintance or a clone to follow with a fire technique if the mud is in the air, and as you said yourself if the mud is on the ground, you'd be able to.

And well, it will become lava yes, but not the KG lava we have in this RP. It technically becomes super-heated mud, something that we would refer to as a pseudo-element, a mixture of two elements that could be combined and work together. But yes, on that sense the globule of mud now would be strong against wind. However, I believe it would be neutral to water, since (Fire < Water < Earth)

Anyways, very good! ^^

Spoiler

(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.

For the next jutsu, we need to go someplace else.

*Magically teleports us next to a cave*

Now, stand outside the cave and send your Earth chakra throughout the ground and into the cave. Using that Earth chakra, begin to ''look'' or so to say, for the main pillars that are making the cave stand, holding the rest up firmly. Once you have found them, break the solid structure of the main pillars, dislodging them and causing them to break apart. In doing so, the rest of the cave falls upon itself, destroying anything that is inside of it.

This is a jutsu that is quite rarely found in battles, since if the user is also inside the cave, he has a great chance of being hurt too. However, the jutsu can be manipulated to quite a great extent, such as breaking off the end part of a cliff, or breaking the interior sides of a hole, to cause rocks falling down on whatever is at the end of the hole.

Give it a try :3

But yes, on that sense the globule of mud now would be strong against wind. However, I believe it would be neutral to water, since (Fire < Water < Earth)

I see, so let's say that if I combine both the mud and fire, I could probably expect a lightning jutsu from my opponent since water would be neutral to it and wind would be weak against it. And then I could send a wind jutsu behind it/around it in order to make it difficult for my opponent to block it with lightning.

*Gets magically teleported* O_O Are you a wizard?!

As I walk out of the cave, I channel a large amount of Earth chakra into the whole cave. When my chakra is spread throughout the cave and the ground, I use it to find pillars and supporting structures. Once I have located them, I send all the gathered chakra into them and use that chakra to break the important sections of the pillars and structures. As these supporting structures fall down, the cave itself hasn't got any support left and collapses.

While you say that it is quite rarely found, couldn't I force my opponent to use the following jutsu:

(Doton: Iwa Enchou no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Earth Dome Technique

Spoiler

Rank: B
Type: Defensive, Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description:The user creates a dome of earth, which protects them from external attacks. The domes shape is in a similar fashion to wood release: wood locking walls. That creates a half face dome.

And then use that to my advantage and make the dome collapse?

Most likely yeah. But that's not to say they definitely they'll use lightning, who knows? It's always good to be prepared for everything, though I have seen lightning be the most preferred in such a circumstance. xD

As for your question, well why that is a good tactic, the dome itself is created by your opponent. The Earth from the dome is made out of your opponents chakra then, which consists of B-rank as well, for this you'd then send your chakra into the dome, but since your opponent's chakra is a higher rank than yours (This jutsu is a C-rank) It wouldn't be able to overtake his chakra and break the structure of the Earth, meaning the dome would still be there. ^^

(Doton: Iwa Yado Kuzushi) - Earth Release: Stone Lodging Destruction
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Descripton: This technique allows the ninja to control nearby stone and rock. 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.

Now, let's try out another combo, for the first jutsu. I want you to send your Earth chakra into the ground again, whilst performing the Tiger handsign *shows*, and by using careful precision, change the structure of the Earth, into that of mud. This time, the mud will be in the form of a river, that begins to form from the ground underneath your opponent, catching him off guard and binding his legs, pulling them with the flow of the river, making him unable to move.

Following with that, onto another jutsu that will make a combo. Using the basis of the mud river that you just created, I want you to perform these hand signs *shows* and whilst doing that, supply some more chakra into the mud. Just like you changed the structure of the Earth, I want you to change the form of the mud, by using shape manipulation, form a dragons head that rises out of the river. The dragon will then fire a concentrated mud ball, similar to the mudshot you learned, towards your opponent. To even further this combination, you may add a fire jutsu (provided that you have learned them) that will heat up the mud, causing more damage, which is like what we talked about earlier. :3

Ah yes, that sounds very logical ^^

---

I begin by concentrating on the ground underneath you and sending earth chakra into it. Once I have gathered enough chakra in that spot, I perform the tiger handseal that you showed me and use the gathered chakra to change the the hard earth into a softer mud like material. Once the earth is turned into mud, I use the chakra into it to make it flow towards me while climbing a bit upwards in order to bind your legs. As you're being pulled towards me, I send earth chakra into the river once again and use it to create a dragon head that rises up from behind you (as you were being pulled towards me, there should be enough space behind you). Using the chakra in the dragon head, I make it shoot a concentrated mud ball at your back. As you are being pulled towards me and your attention is directed towards me and the river that is binding you, you won't easily notice the dragon head and thus not see the ball of mud being fired at your back.

I have a question about the river, can you make it flow in whatever direction you want to?
