[Doton] Dual training with vex
- Thread starter Matt
- Start date
Earth Release is one of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques and allows the user to manipulate the surrounding earth for offensive and defensive purposes or create it; be it dirt, mud, or rock.
Earth Release techniques have the ability to change the strength and composition of the earth from being as hard as metal to as soft as clay, as well as manipulating their density, making them heavier or lighter. This includes allowing the user to travel through ground and rock in various ways which can be essential for both transportation and for setting up attacks or creating defences or for offence. Indeed, this makes earth techniques one of the most versatile of the elemental techniques. Pre-existing earth is not necessary though, for the user can create it with their own chakra.

Doton, 'the defense element' is a very interesting elemental release. It's ability to form various shapes at the user's will and to take many forms such as mud and clay is a rather interesting twist to the element and is very decisive in battle
With Doton release the user can access the very ground, make earthquakes, chasms, even geysers. When combined with water doton can produce Mokuton, the favoured release of the 1st and Madara himself. Not only that, the ability to change the weight of someone or something using this release is definitely the eye popper of the element and the ability to travel through the ground with ease, as if swimming through water is very useful, especially for a quick escape.

Good explanation. I liked how you mentioned how it can be molded into different structural forms. This is what makes Earth release so useful. It's extremely plentiful, so you don't need a source of it other than the ground really. However, for most earth jutsu you'll need to be touching the ground, so some can't be performed from mid air. Also, there are several kinds of earth. Some of them are a sticky adhesive mud, a swamp like material, and normal mud. However, earth doesen't just deal with manipulating the ground, you can also make things lighter and heavier, make things harder by forming an armor around yourself, and excreting substances from your mouth. Earth is an extremely versatile element, and one of the most useful elements all around.
Alright then, now I want you both to use this template for each and every jutsu. Make sure to fill it completely, and in detail. Just simply copy and paste the PHP code for each jutsu.

Alright, me and Vex are trialing a new training method suggested by Scorps. Before you begin learning techniques, I'm going to guide you through the theory and concepts behind the best canon element z.z
After reading the information below, I'd like you to search through the Earth Release Jutsu list and make a list of the names of interesting Doton techniques e.g. the mud variants, digging through the earth, techniques which emerge from portals, etc.
Do not include any generic earth creation techniques. Also, I only want a list of names, not the whole jutsu description.
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.

Good work on picking out a few of the techniques on my list. I've omitted the Flight technique since such can only be used by Tsuchikages. Alright, the below is all of the techniques that I think are worth explaining to you. The rest are pretty generic, easy to understand or don't stand out enough for me to put them into my list. Each post we're going to learn about a different type of earth technique. Note well, you won't be able to perform any of the below jutsu. You'll learn them later, I'm just explaining the theory and concepts behind them.
We'll begin with the underground travel techniques. I'd like you to look up these techniques (all can be found in the C-Rank Earth list) and explain them to me. I'll correct you where you're wrong and add any information you may have missed out.

I am a HUGE fan of the Sentient Creation Techniques !
But lets start with these Underground techs:
(Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu): This is very acceptable, giving its limitations. Personally I think only C ranks while underground is a major set back and this move appears to be an opening move or a desperate escape act. By changing the earth to grains and sifting through it plus without leaving a trace would be an excellent advantage in certain blinding situations e.g. Hidden Mist as you would get the advantage and feel your opponent above you searching.
(Doton: Dochū Senkō): This technique is useless IMO, you want a stealthy travel! Not a futile attempt at intimidation ! Although, having your sword jutting from the ground some damage can be possible. Other than that, I find it a cosmetic jutsu.
(Doton: Dochū Eigyo no Jutsu): Well this is very good for those epic fights where a clone or a person slowly appears out of the ground or wall while the victim is occupied. However, it is quite sad that you can still be sensed and seen with Doujutsu. Although, the 3 mile mark and merging with the earth are ups overall this jutsu isn't the best out there...again, IMO.

Im preety much jsut a fan of the Earthquake techniques since im such a poke maniac > . >

I was imformed about the wrong reply so heres a different one ill use the same 3 as Inverse:
(Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu): This technique is very good for such a low rank it can be quite helpful when needed, Great for escaping many jutsu.
(Doton: Dochū Senkō): This technique does seem quite pointless, unless your completely cocky lol
(Doton: Dochū Eigyo no Jutsu): Great technique against people that dont have any sensing types abilities or Doujutsu like the Byakugan or Sharingan

I require more detail in your future replies, BlackCrow. I'm glad you both picked up on how risky it is to use underground travel and why the Submarine Voyage technique is essentially useless in our rp xD.
Here's an extract of one of my past doton trainings where I discuss underground travel techniques.
"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."
Once you've read, understood and committed the above to memory, I'd like you to talk about the World Shaking technique.

The wood shaking technique i suppose could also be used against Doton users who are underground possibly crushing due to the earth around them constantly moving eventually breaking some bones in their body, great also for preventing an enemy from using a powerful attack I find it quite versatile and a awesome jutsu to have in any ninja's arsenal
(Doton: Yochi no Douyou) - Earth Release: World Shaking:
This technique I find very useful especially for preventing an opponent from finishing hand seals, or even forming them properly. Also, can be used to effectively change the aim of a projection type jutsu e.g Water Bullet. By shifting the earth beneath the opponents feet one could alter the trajectory path. Also, I imagine this could help against underground travelling of the opponent, this is still in my opinion though..
