Kakuzu silently emerges from the ground directly behind you without disturbing the ground in the slightest, before suddenly placing his hand upon your shoulder and whispering in your ear.
Tell me now, what do you know about Doton ?
Tell me now, what do you know about Doton ?
Shadou’s body slightly jumped as someone’s hand was placed on his shoulder. He quickly turned his head, to see who had snuck up on him. Once realizing that the man was his sensei, Shadou let out a sigh of relief. He thought he was going to have to fight before even starting his training. He thought to himself “jeez if this had been an enemy, I would’ve been in trouble”. Shadou stood up and wen't over what he knew about earth release.
Earth release or Doton, is one of the basic five elements in the ninja world. Earth release allows the user to manipulate the surrounding earth to use for either offense or defense. Earth release techniques can also be created in come in the form of dirt, mud, or rock. Techniques of earth release have the ability to change both the strength and composition of the earth to make it either hard or soft or to change the density, making it heavier or lighter.
Like every other basic element, earth release has its strengths and weaknesses. Earth is strong against water because earth naturally contains water or absorbs it to the point where it can become muddy and dried up. The weakness of earth is lightning because lightning can easily travel through and break the ground apart. Earth release can also be used in conjunction with katon.
Earth techniques can serve many purposes. Some earth techniques allow for the user to travel through ground and rock for various purposes such as, transportation for setting up a follow up attack, offensive strategies, and defensive strategies. Doton techniques are usually set up by using the snake hand seal or slamming the users palm onto the ground. One of the most versatile elements of the basic five, a skilled earth user will be a match for any foe.

Kakuzu listens attentively to his students recollection of Earth release, taking note that his student has seen a few battles or has done some through research.
"Not bad, your current level knowledge on Doton is something to work with. Mostly correct, however the majority of Doton techniques do not absorb water, they simply dissipate or block it, whilst passing through water itself. I'll give you a run down of all of the basic elements (especially Doton), to flesh out your understanding. Make sure to commit this to memory, it will be useful knowledge for the future. Once you've read and understood the following, we will continue."
Earth Release is often considered the element of sturdiness and durability. Unlike other elements which come and go with time, it is an ever eternal presence in the environment which endures all types of weather regardless of how harsh conditions become. Earth can be used as a shield or blockade defensively to dissipate the force of powerful waves of water or non-cutting gusts of wind. It can withstand great heats, acting as a heat sink but also as a physical barrier to prevent weapons passing through. Its strong against water, its natural ability to prevent water from passing through it whilst passing through water itself is a reason for this. However its weak against lightning. The lightning conducted along the earth causes it to break up, lose its natural composition and break down due to the penetrative abilities of Raiton. Doton can either be used in this solid rocky form or its adhesive mud-like variant, granting the element further versatility. As well as the conventional uses of the element, the mud variant can be used to bind opponents in place, clash with other elemental jutsus or be used in many effective combinations. The mud-variant is most commonly used along with Fire to form pseudo-lava (molten mud), making for a very dangerous substance.
Along with Suiton, its versatility stems from the state of matter it naturally occurs in. Due to having physical substance, Doton can be shaped into various structures from defensive walls to jagged spikes, from an earth dragon to a single pillar of earth. Furthermore, in terms of terrain-based advantage, Doton can be used to manipulate the ground beneath and around the opponent, allowing for limitless potential in creating successful combos. I like to think of the element as the perfect balance between offensive, defensive and supplementary usage, as no confines exist on what the user can create.

Wind Release is the element that allows us to create and manipulate wind. When you think of wind you think of something that is fast, free flowing, unpredictable, and strong. In the Narutoverse and in our RP, wind release has a variety of different properties which makes it versatile in its own right. For one, we have the ability to create long and short powerful gusts of flowing wind. Mainly these techniques that are designed to provide resistance against oncoming attacks, reversing the trajectory of weaponry, etc. We can also create short concentrated/compressed bursts of wind that give a pseudo solid form which can be used for blunt force or strong impacts. These would mainly be offensive in nature. There is also vacuum or suction power that can be generated, drawing objects in for close combat or sucking away the oxygen for suffocation. However, one of the more prominent abilities of wind release that we’ve come to know from the Narutoverse is the powerful cutting power that it possesses. Mainly from characters like Naruto, Asuma, and Sora, the wind nature has been shown to be able to slice and cut through things like butter. Wind is the movement of many gases in the air, though we’ve been shown to manipulate just the air itself and call it wind release by comparison due to the relationship.
Water is the most calm and free-flowing elements. These characteristics dictate its nature, making it useful in combat due to the fluidity and intense lack of control that is required to utilize it. Lightning and Fire take extreme control, but manipulation of water takes calmer movements and so controlling it comes more naturally. While its the calmest element, it can also become one of the most destructive. Putting a large amount of force behind of wave gives it power that can't be paralleled by all the other elements. In terms of scale, Water has the highest potential to be the "best" element, a clear testament of this is Kisame of the Akatsuki. Water comes in three main forms: normal water, sticky water and oily flammable water.
Lightning Release is the use of high frequency and is the most fleeting of all the elements. It arguably takes the most control due to its dangerous nature and the lethality it possess. The interaction of the molecules within it, further contribute to its level of instability, requiring the user to take much more care in handling this element compared to the others. Fundamentally, its the control over raw streams of electricity which can be tamed with the right control, it relates most to the Fire element due to its destruction if not contained or used properly and the high level of self-control someone requires to manipulate it correctly. One common misconception is that Lightning release travels as fast as natural lightning, when in reality Lightning is far slower than its naturally occurring counterpart due the user taking control of/taming the lightning. The element itself occurs in three main forms: Normal Lightning, Plasma and pale-blue pillars which emit electricity.
Fire Release is the usage of superheated chakra to create flames and heat-intensive attacks. Its created through channeling Katon chakra to the user's lungs and exhaling the built chakra in various forms. Katon is most commonly used in its fire-based form, but it can also take the shape of a plume of superheated ash or a misty flammable gas. In terms of raw potential, its considered the least versatile element as it excels in offensive capabilities, lacks in supplementary usage and is ill-suited to use as a defensive element. Despite this, Katon is the most ferocious element to contend with due to its sheer raw power. The heat of the element makes it capable of reducing earthen structures to molten mud, the parasitic nature of it means it preys on the oxygen within wind-based attacks to supplement the flames and even against its elemental superior, large-scale Katon techniques are capable of reducing large bodies of water to scorching mist of dense steam. The Katon element has little usage outside of destruction, to a certain degree its the hardest elemental nature to tame due to its sporadic and uncontrollable nature.

Shadou listened closely to his sensei as he gave him a lesson on doton and other elements, making sure to make memory of everything he was being told. A smile came over his face as he listened, he was eager to learn about anything he could relating to the basic five elements and knowledge was power; especially in the ninja world. Once his sensei finished going over doton, Shadou nodded his head to let him know he took heed to every word and was ready to continue on with the lessons.

(Doton No Jutsu) - Earth Release Technique
Alright, come over here and place both of your palms on the ground, before focusing your doton chakra into it. Mold your chakra and utilize it to change the structure of the ground itself to forcefully cause a single fairly blunt pillar of earth to rise out of the ground in between the space of your laid out palms. Take care, you could very well impale either of your hands if you lose concentration, even for a second. This technique can create nearly any earth-based construct you desire, as long as its small in magnitude and size. Its best used for making pillars, small tools, weapons ad shields.
Key points: One of the most useful lower ranking techniques. Its used quite commonly, due to its sheer versatility in battle. People tend to use it to create a pillar beneath them for aerial elevation, but when doing this make sure you specify that the pillar is blunt and will cause no damage when propelling you up into the air. Dodging via movement is sometimes more Charka-efficent than direct technique clashes, so always make sure to assess the situation correctly. Never use this jutsu to evade large scale attacks e.g. S-Rank Fire walls and streams.
(Doton: Gansetsukon) - Earth Release: Rock Section Cane
Now, break off the pillar you have raised from the ground and focus your chakra into it, utilizing your chakra to sharpen the blunt construct of rock into serrated spear which can be used as a melee or ranged weapon. All the while, make sure to maintain its form, so it doesn't crumble as you attempt to morph its structure. Once you're content with your spear, toss it towards the nearby targets and aim to strike the bull's eye.

Shadou approaches his sensei as instructed to. He sighs then lowers his left knee towards the ground while spreading his arms and placing both of his palms on the ground as well. Shadou begins to think about the earth and all of its properties while letting his chakara become one with what he was feeling. Once his chakara is molded into that of the earth, Shadou begins to gather all of it, channeling the energy towards both of his hands.
Here goes nothing….
Shadou closes his eyes and enters a state of concentration while staying focused on the task at hand. The structure of the ground suddenly starts to change as a single blunt pillar of the earth rises between Shadou’s rested palms. A drop of sweat left Shadou’s forehead and hit the ground. He was making sure to not lose concentration and perfect this technique.
Time for the next move.
Shadou brings his attention back to the pillar that he had just created. The pillar begins to break off, as Shadou begins to focus his chakara into it. With his chakara, Shadou began to sharpen the blunt rock making it form into a serrated spear. Through shape manipulation, Shadou made sure the rock maintained its form. Since there was no enemy in the surrounding area, Shadou imagined one standing before him. Once he was content with the spear, Shadou began to toss it at full force to the imaginary opponent.

Soon after you throw the earthen spear into the distance, Kakuzu focuses his fuuton chakra into the air around it before altering its flight path and sending it back towards you.
Remain calm and do not move. Follow my instructions exactly.
( Doton: Iwa Rendan ) - Earth Release: Rock Barrage
I would like you to focus your doton chakra into your arm, whilst envisioning the nature of the element to generate a small ring of rocks around you. Then with a nonchalant flick of your arm, send the spinning ring of rocks towards your spear, intercepting it and causing the two techniques to destroy one another.
Key Points: Unsure if the rocks come from the ground or are a manifestation of your own chakra. Do not specify how you create the rocks, stick to the description of the technique to be safe.
(Doton: Ganban Kyu) - Earth Release: Bedrock Coffin
Now, I want you to perform the Rat Handseal before releasing your doton chakra into the ground below.

Shadou takes one step back with his left foot while listening to his sensei and remaining calm. He begins to gather his chakara, letting it take in the properties of the earth. Shadou holds his right arm out while channeling the gathered doton chakara to it. Suddenly a small ring of rocks generates around him. Shadou flicks his arm which makes the ring of rocks go towards the spear he had previously created. The two collide and destroy each other.
Time for the next!
With his doton chakara already gathered, Shadou quickly brings both of his hands before him and performs the rat hand seal. He releases his doton chakara into the ground, causing multiple sections of rock to rise up from the earth and surround his senseis clone. Shadou then focuses on forming two gigantic sections of stone. Once formed, the two stones come in together fast colliding and crushing the clone in-between them.

Nice work, you'll become a fine shinobi at this rate.
(Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Hiding like a mole technique
For this next technique, I want you to release your doton chakra into the ground below via your feet before utilizing that same chakra to alter the very consistency of the ground beneath you. Change the earth to a sandy-like composition, allowing you to dig through it as if you were a mole, hence the name of the jutsu. Whilst you move around underground, you must maintain this jutsu or suffer being crushed the moment you cease it. As you go underground, return the ground to its original appearance, leaving no trace of you entering the earth.
Key Points: Hmm...where to begin ? At first, this may seem like the ultimate evasion tactic, but do not be fooled. If your opponent sees you go underground, senses your presence underground and etc, you're finished. Jutsus which manipulate the earth itself e.g. sink holes and forming swamps, will leave you trapped beneath the earth's surface and most likely crushed/buried one way or another. Using this technique against Doijutsu users is more or less a no go. The same applies to sensors, the Kiyoshi and Binkan. Always make sure you know of your opponent's abilities, before attempting such a risky move. When I first started out, I died three times in a row trying to use this jutsu xD.
However, let's say the opponent doesn't see you go underground for whatever reason e.g. they lower the ground around you, severing the sight between you two. You could go underground and launch a successful surprise attack, killing them. You just have to weigh up the benefits and risks of attempting such a move.
(Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
Once you've gotten acquainted with moving around, I'd like you to emerge beneath my clone and pull him into the ground, leaving nothing but his head above the surface of the floor. Leave the ground as you do this, effectively trading places with him.
Key Points: None really, if you ever manage to get behind/beneath the opponent, there are better alternatives.

Shadou nods in head, listening closely to his senseis instructions. He then spreads his feets and stands straight. The chaka within him starts to gather, taking in all of the properties of the earth. Shadou then channels this gathered doton chakara towards his feet. The ground on which he stood on began to alter into a sand-like composition as Shadou slowly started to sink in it. He bent over and continued to dig into the ground until he was under it. Then with chakara manipulation he returned the ground back to its normal appearance, leaving no trace that he had performed the technique.
Once adjusting to being underneath the ground and using his senses to aware himself of his surroundings, Shadou starts to make his way towards his senseis clone. Once beaneath the clone, Shadou suddenly emerges from the ground and grasp onto the clones legs, dragging him below. The clones head is the only part visible after Shadou is finished pulling him underground. Shadou then emerges from the ground once again, this time returning to the surface while the clone is still stuck and helpless.

Alright, the next two techniques are particularly useful. On first sight, they look like nothing special, however their applications are pretty diverse.
(Doton: Yochi no Douyou) - Earth Release: World Shaking
Now, I want you to focus your doton chakra into the ground to create a small tremor, barely an earthquake which shakes the ground. Use it to cause my clone in the not too far distance lose balance and fall onto the ground. The damage inflicted by this technique is minimal, so he should be alright. If you're wondering how to counter this technique, your best option is not countering it all. By the time you realize the ground is shaking, you'll lose your balance and possibly fall over. What harm is there in falling over ? Simply dust yourself and get back up. Do not expend chakra unless its necessary.
Key Points: Despite its low rank and minimal effects, this technique can be very useful in battle depending on how you decide to use it. If you're opponent is running at you or using a technique which requires them to run at you e.g. Rasengan, Chidori and etc, using this technique will cause them to lose their balance and potentially fall over. You can counter higher ranking techniques with a simple C-Rank.
Here's a classic example -
(Doton: Ganchūsō) - Earth Release: Stone Spikes
Once my clone falls onto the ground, before he can recover I want you to continuing focusing your chakra into the ground. Mold the chakra present in the ground to create a two sharp pillars of rock, using them to emerge beneath both of his feet and skewer the region up to his knees.
Key Points: The most important thing about this technique is knowing how to counter it. Techniques like this generate small vibrations that you can "feel" if you're standing on the ground. The moment you feel these vibrations, you're free to counter. The higher ranked the technique, the more intense the vibrations. At best, this technique would cause moderate vibrations, but it causes disturbance in the ground nonetheless.
Another nice way I learnt from Better to release Genjutsus is using this technique. If you're unsure and new to Genjutsu in our rp, basically when you're cast in one, you need to release it through a variety of methods. Inflicting pain on yourself is one of the methods, the higher ranked the Genjutsu, the more pain you need to inflict to dispel it. When you realize a Genjutsu, whether it paralyzes you or not, channel your doton chakra into the ground and cause a single spike of earth to emerge. Angle the spike the depending on how much pain you want to inflict.
If you're breaking a A-Rank or below gen, angle the spike to strike into your thigh or another part of your non-dominant leg.
If you're breaking S-Rank gen (and have no other options), angle the spike to emerge directly beneath one of your legs, to completely crush it up to the knee region. This will keep you standing up and block blood from gushing out of your body.
This method inflicts serious harm on to you and is only recommended if you have no other options. Sometimes this is the best method to use and so its better to take many wounds rather than fail to counter a Genjutsu. Also, this isn't a possible method to use when you're standing on water or a similar terrain. If you have a bio which can heal or take such wounds e.g. Hidan, Kakuzu, a medical shinobi, using Pain to release genjutsu is very tactical indeed. You don't waste a move countering one of their techniques by making full use of your bio's capabilities
(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.

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.
Now, I want you to focus your doton chakra into the ground to create a small tremor, barely an earthquake which shakes the ground. Use it to cause my clone in the not too far distance lose balance and fall onto the ground. The damage inflicted by this technique is minimal, so he should be alright. If you're wondering how to counter this technique, your best option is not countering it all. By the time you realize the ground is shaking, you'll lose your balance and possibly fall over. What harm is there in falling over ? Simply dust yourself and get back up. Do not expend chakra unless its necessary.
Key Points: Despite its low rank and minimal effects, this technique can be very useful in battle depending on how you decide to use it. If you're opponent is running at you or using a technique which requires them to run at you e.g. Rasengan, Chidori and etc, using this technique will cause them to lose their balance and potentially fall over. You can counter higher ranking techniques with a simple C-Rank.

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
Once my clone falls onto the ground, before he can recover I want you to continuing focusing your chakra into the ground. Mold the chakra present in the ground to create a two sharp pillars of rock, using them to emerge beneath both of his feet and skewer the region up to his knees.
Key Points: The most important thing about this technique is knowing how to counter it. Techniques like this generate small vibrations that you can "feel" if you're standing on the ground. The moment you feel these vibrations, you're free to counter. The higher ranked the technique, the more intense the vibrations.

Shadou nods his head after hearing his sensei’s instructions. Noticing a clone in the near distance, Shadou starts to gather his doton chakra from within. He lets his chakra flow down to his feet and then into the ground. A tremor in the earth suddenly occurs, anyone within distance would be able to hear and feel the ground shaking. The clone that was near Shadou suddenly loses his balance and falls onto the ground, face first from the tremor.
Nice
Shadou continues to let his doton chakra flow into the earth in preparation for his next attack. The clone by now was in the process of getting up by crouching. Vibrations in the ground could be felt, alerting anyone in distance that something big was about to happen. Shadou was using his chakra to mold the ground that he stood on. Two very sharp pillars of rock suddenly emerge from the ground beneath the clone’s feet. The pillars pierce their way through each of the clone’s feet, making their way up towards his knees before they stopped.
I like this techniques sensei. I’ll have to remember the key points that you’ve listed for battles I may have in the future.

That's good to hear. Onto the next set of techniques
(Doton: Dorosandan) – Earth Release: Mudshot
Alright, now we're going to attempt some mud-based techniques, an interesting variant of the Earth element. Focus your doton chakra into your mouth whilst envisioning the nature of doton. However, imagine the earth with a sticky, thick and liquid-like consistency, as if its been saturated with water or melted down to its molten state but its still devoid of heat. Now look directly at my clone and spit this built chakra at him in the form of a sizable globule of mud, aiming specifically for his eyes. Use it to blind his vision and sever the line of sight between you to.
Key Points: Useful technique to use when you want to block the line of sight between yourself and the opponent e.g. avoiding Eye contact for Genjutsus
(Doton: Doryū Taiga) - Earth Release: Earth Flow River
Now, I want you to form the Tiger handseal and focus your doton chakra into the ground beneath my blinded clone, transforming it into a small river of mud which throws him off balance due to its slippery quality. The miniature river of mud will also carry him a small distance away from you, making this technique ideal for avoiding Taijutsu and close combat confrontations.
Key Points: Pay close attention to the range, I was surprised to see it was short and not short-mid. Useful for avoiding Tai fights
(Doton: Doryudan) - Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet
In quick succession, perform the following three handseals and form the small river of mud into a dragon head shaped construct and send it in the direction of my disoriented clone. Along with this, I'll combine the fire counterpart of this technique with your mud dragon, creating for a molten mud combination attack which will melt through my clone's skin and deal severe wounds to him.
Key Points: I'm unsure if this technique can be used without Earth Flow River, however to be on the safe side make sure you only use it after previous jutsu.

Shadou starts to gather his chakra while envisioning the nature of doton to become one with his chakra. Through the process of gathering his chakra, he was picturing the earth with a sticky, thick, and liquid like consistency. This gathered chakra is then channeled towards Shadou’s mouth. Shadou brings his attention to the clone of his sensei that was near him. He then opens his mouth and blows out a sizable globule of mud, aimed at the clone’s eyes. The mud comes into contact with the clones face, splattering all over his eyes thus leaving him blinded.
Heh
Before the clone can manage to gain his vision back, Shadou raises his arms and weaves together the tiger hand seal. He allows his chakra to flow freely through his feet and into the ground in which Shadou then uses his chakra to manipulate the structure of the earth into a river of slippery mud. Once the mud river reaches the clone, the clone throws its arms into the air as it suddenly slipped and was carried away a short distance due to the muddy river.
While the river of mud continues to flow, Shadou weaves together three hand seals in succession. He concentrates on molding the river into a head resembling a dragons. Shadou points his finger at the clone, using his chakra to direct the dragon head toward the clone. By this time his sensei had added a fire counterpart to the mud dragon. The dragon the starts to shoot lava at the disorientated clone, dealing severe damage to the clone as the lava slowly started to melt into its skin.
Poor clone didn't know what hit him.

Good work, onto the next two techniques. These two will focus on entrapment, one of which will capture your opponent in a prison and the other will cause the earth formation to cave in on itself.
(Doton: Ganchūrō no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Rock Pillar Prison Technique
Alright, perform this sequence of four handseals before focusing your doton chakra into the ground below, using it to mold the ground beneath my clone. Utilize this chakra to generate multiple pillars of rock from the ground which converge on him, not attacking him but instead coming together to create a bamboo-like thicket of rock. The prison, regardless of whether or not the pillars its made of have sharp edges cannot be used to attack the opponent in any way. This is a purely supplementary/defensive type technique
Key Points: None which are note worthy
(Doton: Iwa Yado Kuzushi) - Earth Release: Stone Lodging Destruction
Now, continue on to focus your doton chakra into the ground, this time manipulating it to alter the structure of the bamboo prison you have just constructed. Loosen the rocks within the individual pillars, causing it to become too fragile to stand up on its own. The rocks will come raining down on top of him, resulting in a moderate cave-in which buries everything inside.
Key Points: Quite the useful jutsu, useful inside of caves and indoor surroundings.

After his sensei goes over the details for the next techniques, Shadou nods and immediately weave together the four required hand seals. Upon performing the last hand seal, Shadou lets his chakra flow down to the ground beneath. Using his doton chakra, Shadou begins to mold the ground below his sensei’s clone. Pillars of rock suddenly shoot out from the ground in which Shadou uses his chakra to control and join the pillars together to form a prison surrounding the clone.
This technique may come in handy if I need to trap my opponent.
Once the clone is trapped and helpless, Shadou proceeds onto the next technique. He continues to let his doton chakra flow into the ground beneath him. He uses his chakra to manipulate and alter the structure of the previous technique performed to trap the clone. The rocks that formed the trap began to loosen thus causing the prison to come crashing down onto the clone, burying it under the pile of rock pillars.

(Doton: Doryūkatsu) - Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide
For this next technique, I want you to perform the following handseal sequence: Rabbit → Boar → Rat → Horse → Tiger → Snake. After completing the sequence, focus your chakra into the earth below you, molding to manipulate ground itself to create a large split. Hence afterwards, manipulate both sides to curve and rise upwards.
Key Points: This is particularly useful in destroying enemy camps or settlements. During it battle, it can be used to act as a drainage-like system which water rushing towards you falling deep into the fissure.
(Doton: Tsuchi Douyou no Hira) – Earth Release: Earth Shaking Palm
To perform this next technique, form the snake handseal before focusing your doton chakra into your dominant hand. Once the chakra is at your hand, strike the ground with your chakra coated hand. With the additional force from the Earth chakra, the ground will be turned up with chunks of rocks and a cloud of dust which will definitely block the vision of your opponent, unless he's a doujutsu user or capable of sensing you via other means.
Key Points: Not a bad jutsu, useful for Taijutsu fights.

Description: The user will first perform the required hand seals Rabbit → Boar → Rat → Horse → Tiger → Snake and then by flowing concentrated chakra from one's palms into the Dragon Veins flowing underground, one can tear the earth apart, creating large chasms by firstly raising the earth in the desired location and then splitting that peice of earth through the center. The length, width, direction, and curve of the chasm are all up to the user. Manipulating the Dragon Veins requires fine chakra control, but if one has such skill, they can use this technique to divide the space between the enemy and their own team in two, destroy enemy camps or defences, and even to attack.
Note: This does not split the earth appart directly to cause opponents to fall in the fissure.

Shadou turns to face the area around him. Following the instructions given by his sensei, He raises his hands in front of his chest and weavers together six hand seals. While performing the hand seals, Shadou lets his chakra gather from within. He channels the chakra down to his feet and into the ground beneath him while allowing his chakra to take on the properties of the earth. Shadou uses his chakra to manipulate the ground, creating a large split in the ground in front of him. He continues to manipulate both sides from the split, making the ground rise upwards.
Nice
Shadou takes a slight break before moving onto the next technique. He performs the snake hand seal while picturing the technique in his mind. The gathered chakra is then channeled towards his right hand. Shadou raises his right arm above his and balls his fist then quickly brings his arm downward, his fist striking the ground beneath him. The ground becomes heavily turned up with chunks of rocks due to the impact of the strike and dust begins to rise.

(Doton: Kengan no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Fist Rock Technique
Gather your chakra then perform the Snake then Seal of Confrontation. Once done, channel the gathered chakra through your chakra network and to your arm you wish to encase. Once the chakra is at the arm, manipulate it, mold it to create a covering of Earth. As I mentioned earlier, encasing it has several advantages, the most evident being able to deal a more powerful strike.
Key Points: Due to properties of Earth, the rock encasing has great mass, which increases the force of the user's fist. The other thing is, thanks to the rock encasing the arm, when striking certain substances/surfaces/persons, the user's hand is protected from harm such as burns or bone fracture. It's a great addition for Taijutsu techniques. It can be further strengthened by using it along with the Added/Light Weight techniques.
(Doton: Ton'neru chika no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Tunneling Technique
To perform it, gather your Earth chakra then channel it through your chakra nework and into the ground below you. Perform the Ram → Dog → Rat → Bird , then use the chakra to manipulate the Earth, create an opening large enough for someone to pass through. The tunnel is started short range from the user, but it can extend to the widest range.
Key Points: If you specialize in Doton or can get this jutsu off in time, its a useful evasionary tactic. In my fight against Songbird/Luna, she used it particularly well.
