Kiba notices Akamaru turning around and looking at a person that looks pretty handsome and takes a ready to charge stance. He pats Akamaru on the head and says:Dean makes his way towards the training field, where he would find a young man and his dog. He had never taught an Inuzuka before, but he knew about them. One of his village mates was an Inuzuka as well. Nonetheless, Dean wore his usual attire and had a small bag on his back. The bag contained various scrolls, which were all linked to the Earth training he was conducting.
"Hey. I am Dean Winchester, the Nekura. I will be training you in the Earth element. Now, what can you tell me about the Earth element? What's it about? Its strengths and weaknesses, and also, notable users of the element in Naruto?"
Dean said, his voice quite cold.
"OH, and tell me your name, and the dog's name too >,>"
Kiba listens carefully to what his sensei had just told him while trying to memorize the important notes.Dean listens to his student, who had a basic understanding of what Earth release is. Dean had to add quite some information. He didn't mind though.
"Hmm, not bad for a first try, but there are some things you missed. Earth release is a very defensive element indeed, but also has quite some offensive and supplementary uses. Earth is indeed strong to Water, as it can't get past its strong structure, and is able to displace water as well. Its weakness isn't Fire, its Lightning. The Lightning is capable of destroying its structure, by ripping through it with ease.
PS: Just to make your future training a bit easier:
Earth is strong to Water, and weak to Lightning
Lightning is strong to Earth, and weak to Wind
Wind is strong to Lightning, and weak to Fire
Fire is strong to Wind, and weak to Water
Water is strong to Fire, and weak to Earth
Earth's interaction with Fire is an odd one, as some walls of Earth can stop some Fire based attacks, and Fire and Earth combined can form some pseudo lava. Just use logic when thinking about interaction of elements. Anyway, Earth comes forth in various forms, like normal Earth like structures, animated structures, mud, swamps, and even the capability of making objects heavier and lighter. We'll be going through all of this as we move on."
Dean then reaches into his small bag, looking through the scrolls.
"Next, we have to see if you have an affinity for Earth. I'll hand you a special paper, that if you channel your Earth based chakra into it, it will crumble up and turn into dust. To do so, you have to sit in a meditative position, and think about all things Earth. Its strong structure, its power etc. Close your eyes too."
Dean says, as he hands Kiba the small paper.
As Kiba listened carefully to his sensai's instructions, he quickly went back to his meditation position near Akamaru and started focusing his chakra to the Earth where the clone will pass on as he is running towards Kiba, while thinking deeply about Earth."Very good, that means you have an affinity for the element, and we can move on to the techniques.
Now, my way of training is quite simple. I will explain the technique to you, then I want you to perform the technique against the opponent (in the training scenario, we'll use my clone), tell me at least 2 advantages and disadvantages of the technique and also, how you would use it in battle. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Now, let's begin with the very first technique of Earth release. Using the Earth chakra you had just mustered up previously to get the paper to crumble, you will manipulate the very Earth before you. This allows you to create small pillars of Earth, small shields, small tools, etc. Limited to your imagination, though its only D rank in power, so remember its limited as well. This technique is usually used to create small pillars beneath the opponent to impale them through the knees, or a blunt pillar beneath yourself, to shoot you airborne. That's just one of its many uses. Anyway, do as I previously said, and in that order too."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kiba.
Other small notes that might come in handy. The power of jutsu/techniques are ranged:
E rank
D rank
C rank
B rank
A rank
S rank
With E rank the weakest, and S rank the strongest. Most canon (stuff from the Naruto manga/anime) techniques are ranged from D rank all the way to S rank.
Kiba quickly started doing what his sensei instructed him to do, he grabbed a rock that Akamaru was laying on and started focusing his Earth chakra into it by thinking deeply about Earth, exactly how Dean sensei taught him to think.Small note, when you are fighting in a battle, every justu done, must be countered with another jutsu. So one can never just say, "I dodge this" unless you used a technique, yeah?

Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Descripton: Creates small pillars of earth, small tools, and small shields of earth
"Now, for the next technique, you will grab a small chunk of rock and then focus your Earth based chakra into it. This allows you to form this rock, into a long staff of Earth. This staff can be used in close combat, or even to throw it towards the opponent with great accuracy, in order to pierce through them. More than one staff can be made, though that would decrease its power. Use it against my clone, and remember to do all you did with the previous technique."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kiba.
Kiba smiled and gave sensei a thumbs-up.
"Awesome job, Kiba!"
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary/Offense

Description: This technique allows the user to take a small chunk of rock and turn it into the shape of a staff. The user can then use it as a melee weapon or throw it with pinpoint accuracy at their opponent. A variation of this technique allows the user to create several staffs and launch them at the target, but with less accuracy.
"Next in line, concentrate your Earth based chakra into your dominant arm. You will then release it outwards, creating a ring of rocks around your arm, which can be flung towards the opponent. This allows you to distract the opponent, and even cause some slight damage. Very useful in close range, since it can be done quite fast."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kiba.
Kiba gave his sensei a nod, and quickly started doing as instructed."Very good, here you go."
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.
"Now for the first C rank technique, you will form the Rat hand seal and manipulate your Earth based chakra. This allows you to control multiple sections of rock, and move them around the opponent. You will then form two gigantic sections, which crush the opponent in between them. A simple Earth technique, that first traps, then takes down its prey. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kiba.
Kiba gave his sensei a nod, and quickly threw a smoke bomb infront of him to block the clone's vision."Well done, Kiba. Earth is known for being able to trap the opponent, here you go."

"Next is a technique that is quite common, but not very ideal. Charge your Earth based chakra into the ground below you, causing it to change into fine sand. This allows you to traverse underground, like a mole.Whilst underground, you are able to sense what is going on above ground, allowing you launch a surprise attack. The ground also changes back to its normal state, once you go underground, meaning the opponent won't know where you entered the ground. Once underground, you can only use Earth techniques below C rank (only D rank, basically). If you use anything higher, it disrupts the technique, and causes the ground to crush you. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kiba.
Kiba gave his sensei a nod, and quickly threw a smoke bomb between him and the clone, while he focused his Earth chakra at the ground below him turning it into sand."Good, and its never a good idea to go underground if your opponent has any form of sensory. Nonetheless, here you go."
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. While inside the earth, the user cannot make handseals and can only use Earth techniques below C-Rank. If he tries to do a higher ranked technique, he'll disrupt the Hiding like a mole technique and be left crushed.
"Now, a D rank technique that is connected to the Hiding Like a Mole Technique. After using the Mole technique to go underground, you will traverse towards the opponent and make your way to be right beneath them. Then, using your Earth chakra, you will pull the opponent into the ground, as you emerge out, leaving only their head exposed and you standing above them. You are now free to cut off the opponent's head, or simply knock him unconscious. Use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kiba.
Kiba gave his sensei a nod, and quickly started doing as he was instructed."Very good, and indeed it does have some of the same advantages and disadvantages. Here you go."
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user, emerging from the ground below the target area, pulls down the opponent so that only their head is above ground. Unable to move, the opponent can easily be decapitated or tortured.
Note: user must already be underground through the use of (Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Hiding like a mole technique
"Next we have one of the techniques that I enjoy using, even against the strongest of opponents. You will start off the technique by focusing your Earth chakra to a specific spot, and causing spikes to protrude from the area where it was focused. This technique can be used even on the opponent's Earth techniques (after their chakra doesn't run through it anymore). What makes this technique quite cool is that it doesn't require hand seals, and can be done quite fast. You'll discover soon enough how many things one can do with this technique, use it against my clone."
Dean creates a clone that runs towards Kiba.
