[Doton] [Doton]-The JuubiGod

(Doton: Iwa no Goremu) – Earth Release: Stone Golem

Spoiler

Perform the technique: I begin by gathering a large amount of earth chakra and focusing it into my mouth. I spew the chakra out of my mouth while shaping it into a large golem of earth. The golem is very strong and powerful and I send it towards my opponent to attack them.
Creative uses/strengths: You could use the golem to help you in close range battles. The jutsu doesn't require handseals so it is quick to perform. Also, the golem is very strong so it will be hard for the opponent to defend against.
Drawbacks/counters: The golem cannot run very fast. Also, you need to remain concentrated on the golem to control it. You could defend against it by using a powerful lightning jutsu

(Doton: Yomi Numa) - Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld

Spoiler

Perform the technique: After I perform the handseals Boar and then Tiger, I gather chakra inside my body and change it into earth chakra. I channel the earth chakra into the ground underneath my opponent and manipulate the earth, liquefying it. This causes the opponent to start to sink into a large, non-flammable mud swamp. After sinking completely, they would eventually suffocate and die.
Creative uses/strengths: You could use it to make the opponent unable to perform some earth jutsu because there is only mud around them and not solid rock. Also, the jutsu is quick to perform and you could use it to trap large opponents or summons. You can use it up to mid range so the opponent cannot escape it by trying to get out of its range. Also, the opponent's strength is drained when they are trapped by the swamp, which makes it hard for them to try and escape.
Drawbacks/counters:The opponent could use a jutsu which brings you towards them and trap you in the swamp as well. You could use Chidori Nagashi to negate the chakra inside the mud. You could also use earht jutsu to manipulate the mud to get yourself out.

(Doton: Dosenki) - Earth Release: Mudslide Technique

Spoiler

Perform the technique: After performing the three needed handseals, I send my earth chakra into the ground to create a small wall of earth to rise. The wall is slightly large than me. I then punch the ground, manipulating the earth to cause a large amount of mud to slide off of the wall and travels towards my opponent and engulfs them.
Creative uses/strengths: The mud would slow down the opponent and also choke them if it goes into their mouth. Also, if the opponent gets completely trapped by the mud, they won't be able to move and they would haveto try and get out which would be hard because the mud is thick. The force of the mud is enough to break the bones of the opponent.
Drawbacks/counters: The jutsu requires three handseals and it cannot reach long range. The mud would take a while to slide off the wall and reach the opponent and they could use a counter during that time. Also, you have to be on the ground to use this jutsu which means that if you are in the air, you would be unable to perform it.

(Doton: Dochubaku) - Earth Release: Landslide Technique
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user will manipulate their chakra to create the earth infront of them to turn to a lose like quality by slamming his hands on the ground to create a landslide that is directed towards the enemy target in the form of a wave of earth.

A basic tech but is pretty nice. The user will quickly, with no hand seals manipulate the earth upfront on them to loosen its quality almost making it more softer. With a slam of the hands on the ground they will manipulate the ground to quickly form into a wave of tough debris and mud which creates almost a landslide which is sent towards the opponent like a wave of earth. It has the destructive property to easily cut and push down trees with ease and still continue forward. Its a very fast moving technique, hard to evade. Its also location based, its best to use in a forest. Its a loud technique so not so good for snick attacks neither.

(Doton: Kujo Joushou Iwa Chuuseki) - Earth Release: Destructive Rising Rock Pillars
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Mid-Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: This jutsu causes gigantic pillars of rock to forcefully emerge from the ground. This is a even greater scaled Earth Release: Rising Spikes and is large enough to impale a summoning technique.

A simple but quite the effective jutsu indeed. The user will summon a gigantic pillar of rock to forcefully emerge from the ground around any location the user desires. Its quite the large jutsu and difficult to evade when it begins to emerge. It makes a loud noise as well as the ground will become dense signalling it rising so that can be a window of evasion. Its great to use for combos to attack in all flanks of the opponent. If the opponent is caught the will be hurt as well as launched in the air with force, mid-air they are left vulnerable and open for attacks. Its a great jutsu to use against summons and is tall enough to attack an opponent air-borne. The pillar when it begins to rises is very fast as well as while it rises you can go onto the next tech. Simple evasions as well as cracking the large pillar using lightning would be best.

(Doton: Chidokaku) - Earth Release: Moving Earth Core
Rank: A
Type: Offensive, Defensive, Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user slams his hands on the ground and lowers or raises the ground in the surrounding area at high speeds, allowing them to create giant holes in the ground or avoid attacks. The size of the affected area as well as the depths that it is lowered to is up to the user and rasing earth can be done up to 20 meters tall creating a small cliff or they can create trenches that can be as deep as 20 meters. Other than being moved below ground relative to the surrounding surface the terrain is not altered, plant life and people retaining their same positions.

Okay this is a handy jutsu indeed. The user will have complete control of the ground and will be able to raise or lower the ground by 20 meters. With it you can create walls to block attacks or evade them. You can capture enemies by lowering the ground. Also a note is in the manga when used against Madara he actually stumbled due to the sudden rise of the ground, so you can easily catch an opponent off and have a clone or ally send an attack making life difficult for the opponent. You can alter the terrain as well with it. It has no serious offensive abilities but its main purpose is the supplement yourself in battle. Also for every time you move the ground it counts as a turn so be weary. Also by the time the ground fully erects it will take several seconds. (3-5s) depending just how high you set it. 20 meters is the limit but you have control just how long you want to raise it.

 

[Reborn]

So you're pretty close to being finished already...

 

[Scarecrow.]

So you're pretty close to being finished already...

Yes, I am O_O

 

[Reborn]

A stomp on the ground made the earth beneath your feet shake and destabilize you slightly causing you to wobble. You'd likely fall to the ground or at least take a knee from the moderate quake.

"Hmph, I don't even know why I'm here, if the snot is already done with doton...or close to it anyway" A rough voice said somewhat angrily.

Behind you stood a man, bald and slightly tanned wearing Iwagakure attire and baring a scratched out headband. "You there, on the ground, I'm your teacher Lee. Before we begin I'm going I'm going to let you know how this is going to work. In the Phantom Academy we train differently than others. Our unorthodox training doesn't adhere to rank based training, we focus more on developing thorough knowledge of the elements we teach you so we'll be going through that method before continuing learning any other techniques...GOT IT?!"

 

[Scarecrow.]

Kakuzu nods his head in agreement. I understand, sensei.

 

[Reborn]

"First thing's first, we're going to run through the four methods in this element; Self Created Doton, Enviornmental Manipulation, Advanced Conversions, and Other; the latter being a group of unique techniques that don't fit into the other methods. Each method is a group that houses several different techniques of various ranks that all possess similar qualities. You'll learn the basic principles of each method, how chakra is used in the techniques, and then which techniques actually fall into them.

Starting off with the first method, 'Self Created Doton' I want you to tell me what you believe the definition to this method is, and how you think techniques in this method use chakra; for example how do people channel their chakra and expel it in order to use the technique. It is important for you to understand just how this is done in order to understand when you are using it in battle and when it's being used against you in battle. It will allow you to analyze the advantages and disadvantages to let you know where you're vulnerable when using these techniques, thus knowing what to expect, as well as understanding where you can attack your opponent in the cases they use these techniques. So with that all said, hurry up!"

 

[Scarecrow.]

Kakuzu listens to his sensei's words and begins to think about how self created Doton works. He was still getting used to this earth heart, and needed training in the element. He stood there, trying to come up with a good answer. After a brief period of silence, the masked man spoke. Self Created Doton is the use of one's chakra to create and form earth from their own body and chakra system. There are many ways you can use Doton creaed from your body, such as expelling streams of mud from your mouth or releasing it from every point of your body to create an armour of rock to encase you. Self created Doton is made in this process: First, you use nature transformation to change the nature of your chakra into Doton. After this, you channel the earth chakra into the specific part or parts of your body that you want to release it from. Then, you expel the chakra from your body and use shape transformation to use the chakra in whatever way you want. This is what I think ''self created'' Doton is.

 

[Reborn]

"Hmph, You're the least stupid of my other students." Lee said. "That's correct, now then, since you've been through quite a few techniques already, tell me some techniques you know that would fit into this method."

 

[Scarecrow.]

Thanks, I guess? Kakuzu said after hearing his sensei's 'compliment'.

He thinks hard and tries to remember all of the earth jutsu he has learnt and which ones would fit into the Self Created Doton category.

Some Doton techniques that would fit into this method are Rock Barrage, Mudshot, Fist Rock Technique, Rock Clone Technique, Earth Release Armor and Earth Spear Technique.

 

[Reborn]

"Good, good. Now then take into account the advantages of techniques like this. For one, since you're creating the earth yourself with your own chakra you're not bound to use these sorts of techniques while you're off or away from the ground. Also, getting into the area of genjutsu, techniques the release chakra from every point in your body such as the earth spear technique give you the ability to release genjutsu as it surges chakra through your body and releases them. However, you must understand the limitations by which you're capable of using these techniques to release genjutsu. To use such methods you'll need to release elemental chakra at least one rank higher than the genjutsu placed on you.

Though most of these techniques lack range and are confined to you with the exception of a few like clones and shooting projectiles. Other than that these are useful supplementary techniques. Is there anything you want to add before we continue?"

 

[Scarecrow.]

No, nothing to add, sensei. Thank you for the useful information, let's continue.

 

[Reborn]

"Now then, just as you did for the last method I want you to do the same for the next two; environmental manipulation and advanced conversions. Take a shot at what those are, since you've already gotten far here these should come easy. Define them, explain how chakra is used in them and then give me two examples of each."

 

[Scarecrow.]

Environmental Manipulation in regards to Doton is the use of chakra to control and manipulate natural earth structures and use natural sources of earth, such as the ground. This is done by infusing your chakra into the earth, usually through contact, which grants you control over it. After you have infused your chakra into the earth, you can control it's shape and structure to use in several different ways. For example, you could make spikes or other protrusions emerge from the earth source or transform it completely by changing its shape or you could make it move in some way. Two examples of Doton jutsu which use Environmental Manipulation are World Shaking and Multiple Mudwall Technique.

Advanced Conversions of earth is similar to Environmental Manipulation, where you manipulate earth and change it. However, this is where you convert earth in one form, such as rock, into another such as mud. To do this, you need to infuse your chakra into the earth you want to manipulate, if it does not already contain your chakra, or release earth from your body using Self Created Doton. Then, using chakra, you change the state of the earth by manipulating the formation of particles that make up the earth, such as liquefying it to turn it into mud, hardening mud into strong rock, or turning it into fine sand by breaking it down. Two examples of advanced conversions are Swamp of the Underworld and Earth Flow River

 

[Reborn]

"Very good. You're a promising doton user. That being said I think it's time we finish up your techniques. Before I do, however I want you to take note of a few things. Both of these two methods give you added versatility from the first one. You have more to work with since you're interacting with already per-existing earth and, generally they are the more widely used doton techniques. The disadvantage to these techniques, however is that you're tired to the ground. You can't be more than a certain distance away for most techniques to work that use these two methods. As well, if there is no earth around; say your opponent has altered the earth to sand or covered the field in water , then these techniques become utterly worthless. That is when the self created techniques, should they be necessary, come in handy. Any questions before we proceed?"

 

[Scarecrow.]

No, no questions. I understand everything.

 

[Reborn]

"hmph, pretty cocky huh well I guess you're endowed . Lets begin. Judging from where you're at there are only two techniques left in the Self Created category.

The first thing I want you to do is to summon your earth chakra throughout your entire body. Since you've already been through the Earth Spear technique this shouldn't be too difficult, all I want you to do is to increase the output of your chakra from what you would normally for that technique, double it, however Don't harden your skin. Just focus on excreting the chakra from your body. With the grand amount you're outputting it should become visible. So we'll just work with that for now."

 

[Scarecrow.]

Kakuzu listens carefully to his sensei's instructions and then begins to perform the technique. First, he begins to knead chakra in his body, molding an appropriate amount for the jutsu he is going to complete. After doing this, he uses nature transformation to transform it into earth chakra. The earth chakra flows through every point o his body and is then released, creating a thick armour of rock that encases Kakuzu and would protect him from most objects that tried to harm his body.

 

[Reborn]

"Baka, I said don't use the technique, simply pour your chakra out as you would if you were performing the technique! All I want you to do is to release your raw doton chakra. Start over!"

 

[Scarecrow.]

Kakuzu tries again, this time doing what his sensei asked of him. He begins to knead chakra in his body, molding an appropriate amount for the jutsu he is going to complete. After doing this, he uses nature transformation to transform it into earth chakra. The earth chakra flows through every point o his body and is then released as raw earth chakra that surrounds his body
