Doton Training With Ruiz Sempai

[Mockingbird]

I checked this training thread to see how you do and i must say i am disappointed Ruiz.

Most techniques if not all, are auto-learned. In one post, Johninto Takashi is learning one technique. Other thing is, you just post the jutsu's description and wait for him to describe how he does it. Although he may describe it correctly in some times and some techniques may be self-explanatory, others aren't. You must describe how he can perform it, what it is used for and how can be used.

I prefer you take more time teaching things, than using this method. If your student complains, tell him what i just told you here. Being a sempai is not only a status, it also requires responsibility. If people simply ignore that and want to learn techniques via the one post method, just stop training them. It is better for them to not know anything than be taught wrong and cause trouble in the arena.

Take all the time you need, but teach things properly please. Other people didn't have this luck and were immediately stripped off their sempai status so next time, don't mess up. I can't check all the trainings you do, but if i find one more like this, you won't be my sempai anymore (and probably any other sensei's sempai, as you will get reported to the Official Sensei Group).

Now please, continue.

My Apologies. I'll be using your method from here on out.

Alright John, as you've seen by the post above your training is going to be a bit different than before.

So next up is the Earth Clone technique.

(Doton: Tsuchi Bunshin no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Earth Clone Technique
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 25
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user creates up to three clones of earth and mud. Since they are made of such materials, they can reform after being hit by physical, water or wind techniques. They can also use up to C rank earth techniques.

Now, concentrate your Doton chakra, and try to divide it evenly into 2 to create an Earth clone. Imagine a mirror image of yourself. The clone must have all of your characteristics, and by the time you complete this technique, I shouldn't be able to tell the difference between you and your clone by appearance.

So try it out.

 

[Korra.]

Got it *I start by gathering my doton chakra. After I gather my my doton chakra I start dividing my chakra equally into 2 earth clones. As I use my chakra to make the earth into 2 clones I keep imagining my self and start using my chakra to manipulate the earth into a imagine of my self. I keep focus and use my chakra to make the 2 clones with the same exact characteristics as my self. I keep focusing my chakra till both clones are complete and look exactly like me*

 

[Mockingbird]

Now can you come up with some way to use this jutsu on the battlefield?

 

[Korra.]

To distract the enemy with a fake while you hit them with another jutsu

 

[Mockingbird]

Good, but thats not all

You can use two jutsu at once (You perform one, and your clone performs an earth jutsu at the same time.) Meaning the two of you can use some powerful collaboration jutsu as well, if you can come up with a few clever ways to do so .

*shows you a few handseals*
memorize those.

 

[Korra.]

I'll remember that. *I see you do the hand signs and keep trying to copy them completely. After a couple of minutes I finally memorize the hand signs.*

 

[Mockingbird]

Alright good.

Now perform the handseals, and release your doton chakra into the ground around my clone. Cause the earth around him to rise up in the shape of jaws, and catch him right in the middle. (Imagine a huge shark jumping out of water to bite into its prey. Except this is earth xd)

(Doton: Musaborudzuchi) – Earth Release: Devouring Earth
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 25
Damage points: 50
Description: The user performs five handseals and slams their palm on the ground. Instantly, the ground to the sides of the opponent take the shape of huge jaws and attempt to crush and stab him between them.

*creates clone*

 

[Korra.]

Got it. *I start by doing the hand seals you showed me while I gather my doton chakra. After I finish doing the hand signs I start releasing my chakra into the ground. When my chakra is in the ground I use the chakra to manipulate the earth and make the ground underneath your clone rise. When the earth comes up I use my chakra to manipulate into a jaws like shape with your clone in the middle of it. When the jaws come up your clone dissapears.*

 

[Mockingbird]

Now, tell me how you would use this jutsu on the battlefield.

You can name a way, or give me a scenario.

 

[Korra.]

A way to use this jutsu that I can think of is if you were battling a person and they start doing a jutsu that takes a lot of hand signs you can used this to stop them in their tracks before they get the jutsu off.

 

[Mockingbird]

Yesh yesh.

Next..

(Doton: Tsuchi Kairo) - Earth Style: Earth Corridor
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This jutsu will cause the earth in the surrounding area to rise up and over a target and create a cavern or dome, imprisoning the target.

Basically, cause the earth around my clone to either rise up above him. This jutsu can be helpful to subdue your enemies, but what I like to use it for is to follow up with surprise attacks. Since an enemy inside can see pretty much nothing bu darkness inside, a follow up seems like the smart thing to do

*creates clone*

 

[Korra.]

Got it. *I start by gathering my doton chakra and focus on channeling it to the ground underneath your clone. I keep focusing and when I get my chakra into the ground I start using my chakra to manipulate the ground around your clone to rise up. I keep focusing my chakra so that the ground creates a dome that traps your clone inside of. I use my chakra to make sure there are no holes in the dome.*

 

[House]

The invisible poofed clone get's crushed xd

Good! Nao, try this!

(Doton: Arijigoku no Jutsu) - Earth Style: Antlion Technique
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Mid/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: This jutsu causes the ground and everything on and around it to be sucked in towards the middle of a large pit, much like the method an antlion uses to catch prey. Upon being dragged to the center, the victim will then be sucked underground. There the victim, depending on how deep the user makes them sink, will be trapped and/or suffocated.

*Makes a shadow clone* It's pretty self-speaking.

 

[Korra.]

Got it. *I start by gathering my doton chakra and I start channeling it into the ground. When I have enough chakra into the ground I use my chakra to make the ground and everything around and on it to move in towards the center of a large pit. As the ground starts moving your clone gets sucked up by the moving ground your clone is sucked underground. I use my chakra to make the ground to suck your clone 15 meters underground. As your clone is underground it suffocates and dissapears.*

Good Job! Next One:

Description: This technique raises a large ridge or hill (plateau) from the ground. The user can combine this jutsu with Water Style: Waterfall Basin Technique to create a waterfall.

Does it need explanation? (Your basically raising an earth rampant out of the ground)

 

[Korra.]

No I dont *I start by gathering my doton chakra and start channeling my chakra into the ground. When I have enough chakra into the ground I use my chakra to manipulate the ground into rising a large ridge.*

 

[House]

No I dont *I start by gathering my doton chakra and start channeling my chakra into the ground. When I have enough chakra into the ground I use my chakra to manipulate the ground into rising a large ridge.*

Like I said, It's self-explanatory. Okay, Next one.

(Doton: Doryo Dango) - Earth Style: Ball of Graves
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user is able to overturn the earth into a large dumpling-shaped chunk of dirt the size of a mausoleum. Using immense strength, they can then lift up the ball and hurl it at his/her opponent, flattening everything in its path.

Your basically going to turn the earth infort of you into a rather large ball of earth, and you'll throw it at that tree.

 

[Korra.]

Got it. *I start by gathering my doton chakra and start channeling my chakra into the ground in front of me. When I get enough chakra into the ground I use my chakra to manipulate the ground and I make a large ball of earth in front of me. When i have the ball in front of me I use my strength to throw the ball of earth at the tree you pointed at causing the tree to be destroyed.*

[Korra.]

*I start by gathering my doton chakra and focusing my chakra into my mouth. When I have enough chakra in my mouth I start spitting out mud from my mouth. When the mud comes out I use my chakra to manipulate the mud into a protective wall in front of me.*
