Alright, sorry I'm late. I won't waste anymore time. Lets start out with you answering the following questions

  • What is Earth Release
  • How Does this nature act
  • Relationships with other Elements (Standard and Advanced Elements)

Hint: What I'm asking for for the second bullet, I'm asking for you to use what you know of water and personify it. Use adj. to tell me your best interpritation of how this nature "acts" And for relationships with the other elements. I want more than the shallow relations of strengths, weaknesses and neutrality. I want you to tell me all of the former as well as how water can be used in conjunction with other elements, and not just the five elements, but other advanced elements as well. For help refer to

Any questions just ask

Sorry for such a late reply, I will explain why in a vm.

Doton is one of the five basic elements. Doton techniques are usually to create powerful defence walls, softening the ground and turning it into mud, you can also use it to change the landscape to a certain extent. Doton techniques are performed by manipulating the ground by sending your chakra into it.
Doton is strong against water because of earth's hardness, and weak against lightning because it can pierce through it. Doton can also be combined with other elements to make a new element such as: Earth and Water to either create Mud or Wood. Earth and Lava can be used to create Lava.

(Sorry, not sure if this is enough, so if not just tell me and I will write more ^_^)

Lets try again :D
Earth release is one of the five basic elements. Doton techniques are usually to create powerful defence walls, softening the ground and turning it into mud, you can also use it to change the landscape to a certain extent. Earth release techniques are performed by manipulating the ground by sending your chakra into it. Earth manipulation does not necessarily has to be used to manipulate the earth itself but also mud and rocks. Doton can be used in a lot of different ways, you can merge with the ground and hide, or you can go under the ground and hide/ or attack your enemy by surprise (one of the example would be from the early episodes of naruto, when kakashi’s hands pulled down sasuke into the ground)

Earth is strong against water because naturally earth absorbs water and later dries up. However it is weak against lightning because lighting can pierce through it and break the ground without a lot of effort. For more advanced users of Doton and for those who have two chakra natures, earth release can be combined with other elements to make a different and stronger element. If you combine Earth and Water you could create mud, or if you have the special ability, wood element can be created. Another example would be combining Earth and Fire which would create Lava. Combining Earth and Wind would allow you to create the dust release. Crystal release is also possible if earth is combined with lighting release.

Hope this time I did better :D

For the most part this is good, since I don't have a generalized explanation of Earth Release, I'll just point out a few things. Firs thing is Earth release doesn't just deal with manipulating your chakra into pre-existing earth, like suiton, you can create earth and earth based techniques with your own chakra. In the Narutoverse, the way one manipulates the elements is based on the types of chakra. Doton chakra is a type of chakra, one doesn't use ordinary chakra to manipulate the elements, they use the type of chakra of the element they want to manipulate, and that'll be the first thing we get into when the training starts.

We'll talk more about the elemental combinations later, however, Earth+Wind+Fire is what creates Dust Release, not Earth and Wind alone. You can create dust through the useage of both elements but it's an entirely different entity than Dust Release as used by the Second and Third Tsuchikage.

Any Questions before we proceed?

The way I train is a little differently than most sensei. I use Lili-Chwan and Scorp's method of training which divides the techniques of an element into four categories. Each category will have a specific number of techniques based on the similarities between the techniques, regardless of rank. I will then teach you the basic concepts of the method and test you on your knowledge and then we will continue alright?
________________________

Method 1: Own Created
Method 2: Environment Manipulation
Method 3: Advanced Conversion
Method 4: Others

These are the four methods in this element. From this point on here is what we're going to be doing.

(1) I will give you the method and explain to you, in depth, what the method entails and then allow for any questions of clarrification

(2) I will give you bullet points of words/phrases that I will ask you to define/explain that will show me if you understand this method if I am satisfied with your explanations, we will continue. If not I will have you tweak them.

(3) I will then post all the jutsu within the category with full explinations and then you will have to do the following
~Explain the Advantages of the Method
~Explain the Disadvantages of the Method
~Discuss Strategies you could use with jutsu from this method
If I'm satisfied with these three aspects, we will continue and repeat the cycle from the top.

Any questions?

It's not all that complicated, I'm sure you'll pick up on it rather quickly.
________

Method 1: Own Created

Alrighty the first method we'll be discussing is 'Own Created'. The most basic way I can explain this would be earth techniques that you produce from your body. The only thing that is used is your doton chakra to create earth from your body directly as opposed to manipulating existing earth. Now earth is a very versitile element meaning there will be several differing ways to manipulate and utilize the earth techniques. Even the techniques within the same method family are unique in many ways, the exceptions being-in this case-that all of these technqiues are self created. In order to better explain how the chakra usage would be for techniques of this method I would have to explain a few concepts first.

(1) Full Body Chakra Release techniques: This is essentially where you release chakra from every chakra point in your body to create a full body affect. Generally armor based techniques or techniques that completely coat your body for protective measures or other physical enhancement purposes are techniques that utilize this. A quick tangent onto the subject of genjutsu. I won't expand further on it as it would get too deep especially due to my genjutsu addiction. Full body release methods are one of the methods used to release genjutsu. Reason is, the surge of chakra from every pore in your body is releasing chakra, which would force out the foreign chakra in your brain that causes the genjutsu. However it is essential you pay attention to rank, because the level of genjutsu you can release is dependant on the rank of technique (example: B-ranked full body chakra release techniques of elements release C-rank and below A-rank releases B-rank and below. You need 1 rank higher than the genjutsu you're trying to disolve)

(2) Isolated Area Chakra Release: To put it simply, same concept as th full body only this time you're isolating the area and releasing chakra in a specific area instead of every part of your body.

(3) Projectiles: Techniques where you create a small projectile based object (an object that is launched) with a source from one part of the body and then launch it at your opponents. Generally exhaled or spat from the mouth.

Now that in mind, when you're doing techniques in this method, you take note to this. You're channeling your Doton chakra for whatever specific entity the technique entails and then the doton chakra manifests physically into the earth substance you're trying to create.
