Thank you for accepting my request for teaching Doton.

Last technique learnt -
(Doton Kekkai: Dorō Dōmu) - Earth Style Barrier: Earth Prison of Magnificent Nothingness
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20 (+10 chakra each turn the opponent is inside the dome)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After striking the ground with their hands, the user overturns the earth, causing it to rise up around his opponent(s). Then, by placing his/her hands against the dome, the user is able to drain out the chakra from the people trapped inside and absorb it into their own body. At the same time, the user will use their own chakra to spread throughout the dome. This allows the user to repair any damage their opponent(s) manage to inflict on the inside.

Technique which I was gonna learn -
(Doton: Domu) – Earth Release: Earth Spear Technique
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A (+10 to physical attacks)
Description: After performing the Snake hand seal the user will channel their chakra throughout their entire body, which then hardens their skin to a steel-like quality. This increases their defensive power to the utmost limits. The user’s skin also becomes much darker, an almost black colour. The destructive power of physical attacks is increased, making this a great, all purpose technique. But this technique when activated leaves the user vulnerable to lightning based techniques.

It's only natural an Iwarian be instructed on Earth Ninjutsu by a fellow Iwarian

Now then I'd like you to perform the last jutsu you learned, after filling out my template.

I would like you to use this template every time you reply to a technique.
Try to be as detailed/descriptive as possible. All you have to do is copy the PHP code.

Ways to counter:


Also, I will post how all of the techniques work. I want you then, in your own words, to describe to me what you are doing to get the desired result.

You can perform the next one as well. Form the snake seal and send earth chakra all across your body, focusing it into your skin to harden it to the point of steel-like quality.

That's the whole reason I want to learn Earth Earth was the first thing I learnt in Ninjutsu - I am Iwarian, so - I should have Earth and Ninjutsu mastered(it's only correct).


Strong points

• Low chakra cost - considering that it absorbs half of the chakra spent.
• Can be repaired - is a part of the technique itself.
• If the opponent tries to break out of it, he is wasting one move. This can be crucial.

Weak points

• No way to inflict damage. High ranked bios with good amount of chakra shouldn't be affected too much by this jutsu.
• I am not sure about this yet - but say, the earth below the opponent isn't manipulated. He can escape through there and ambush me - as I said, unsure about this.
• I suppose(<suppose>) a raiton attack would travel through the earth in this case, again, a surprise attack.

Combinations-strategies I get a one second flinch for Killing Intent, right? When I'm in close range, all I need is that second to inflict this move upon the enemy.

Ways to counter: Nagashi I think. It seems its very effective against most lower ranked Doton moves.
I am not sure if I could try getting out from below(Hiding Like a Mole).


*I slam the ground with my hands, and visualizing the earth's malleability, I make it rise out of the ground, into the shape of a small dome, having enough space to cover my opponent, but not so much that he can freely move around* * I then place my hands on the dome, and start absorbing the opponent's chakra. Sensing he's trying to break out, I circulate my chakra so that the dome starts rejuvenating itself. *


If say, I could not write the third strong/weak point in one of the Jutsus, it's fine, right? I will try my best though.

 

[Professor Sarutobi]

Yeah, not every technique has three easily seen good/bad points but if you can think of them put them down.

Good, and KI depends on your rank, if they are two ranks or more lower then you and you are in close range its possible to paralyze them entirely. Otherwise yeah its just a second or two flinch that messes up hand seals. not sure about going underground, imo it would work but it depends on if it is currently accepted if the user's chakra goes into the ground below you as well as the dome.

Now for Earth Spear.

(Doton: Domu) – Earth Release: Earth Spear Technique
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A (+10 to physical attacks)
Description: After performing the Snake hand seal the user will channel their chakra throughout their entire body, which then hardens their skin to a steel-like quality. This increases their defensive power to the utmost limits. The user’s skin also becomes much darker, an almost black colour. The destructive power of physical attacks is increased, making this a great, all purpose technique. But this technique when activated leaves the user vulnerable to lightning based techniques.

Form the Snake seal and release earth chakra through your skin and focus it to the level that it hardens your skin to the level similar to steel and darkens it to almost pitch black.

Strong points

• Inhuman strength - You're like, well, a Man of Steel. ;o
• Acts as both attack and defense - +10 on physical attacks is, well, really important in some scenarios. Though it doesn't say how much our defense improves. What is the extent of my defensive power now(say, I get attacked by something which takes away 40 Health normally, what would happen then?)
• This can act as a camouflage in swampy areas- not that this would really affect the RP scene -_-

Weak points

• Earth is weak enough against Lightning, but with this technique...:|
• The range is short...anybody with knowledge of Taijutsu would definitely love this technique. However, somebody who doesn't, like me, wouldn't really think of this technique as an ace in the hole.
• I listed camouflage as an advantage...but what if one is in a different terrain? There you are, sticking out like a sore thumb.

Combinations-strategiesAs I said, Taijutsu. There is no mention of any loss of speed for this technique. Taijutsu all the way.

Ways to counter: Something which is in the description, Raiton.
Also, maintaining a long range.

*performing the Snake handseal, I release earth chakra throughout my outer flesh, and start focusing it on my skin in a very concentrated form, while thinking about the earth's solidity. I keep on concentrating it till I see my skin become pitch black, and my whole body feels like steel*

 

[Professor Sarutobi]

If you get by a B rank (or, 40 damage in some combination) besides lightning and other elements that are strong to earth (CEs) you'd be unharmed because they'd cancel out. A ranks and above would break through and damage you, depending on the specific jutsu the effects would vary, some might kill you, some might just hurt you.

Good job, sorry for the delay but next move is

(Doton: Iwa Keiro) – Earth Style: Rock Trail
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user slams their hands on the ground and giant rocks rise up and jag the opponent from underneath.

Focus earth chakra to your hands and slam them to the ground, causing several giant spikes to raise in rapid success in a trail towards the enemy.

But because that is super simple and I sometimes go a long time between posts.

(Doton: Nentsuchi Otoshi) – Earth Release: Sticky Earth Drop
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user creates an opening within the sky, which drips down onto the opponent a large amount of mud, covering them. It’s normally followed up by Lightning release: sixteen pillar bind to create a giant oven around the opponent and then using Fire release: Firing biscuit technique to ignite the oven, hardening the mud and immobilizing the enemy target.

After weaving a few seals *demonstrates* you open a portal in the sky high above the ground which releases a large amount of mud (capable of covering Pain's Giant Dog) this is the first part of a earth/fire/lightning combo shown by the Konoha ANBU but used on it's own more often then not in the RP now.

 

[Sydd]

It's fine, I don't mind delays.

Strong points

• An effective attack to startle opponents at mid-range and then attack them with a stronger attack.
• If the opponent wants to dodge this attack, he'll jump up, right? So the opponent will be vulnerable to several attacks, and most likely Raiton ones.
• It's an offensive attack, but I can really see using it as a supplementary/defensive attack. Supplementary because continuous use of the attack (not that I advocate it, I am sure there'll be less chakra consuming moves for the same purpose) can create a kind of boundary around the two combatants. If the opponent is one who prefers long range, it can be difficult for the opponent to get out so imply that he does not create a very big opening.

Weak points

• The changed terrain can end up causing more problems for than the opponent. He can use it for hiding among other things.
• It's not like jumping always puts the opponent in a disadvantageous situation. For example, if he's a Samurai, or even someone with basic mastery of Kenjutsu, he can utilize the jump for an instant counter attack.
• Unlike other mid-range techs, I really don't see how I could use this one at close-range.

Combinations-strategies The Raiton one I talked about in the advantages, and a strategy for opponents favouring long range(I had to explain the advantages so that's why I had to include the combinations/strategies there)

Ways to counter: A high forward jump(not entirely sure)? If yes, then instant counter with Kenjutsu.

*I circulate doton chakra through my hands as I slam them into the ground, making giants rocks rise up, enough to have jagged up an opponent from underneath(had one been there)*

---

Strong points

• Well yeah, apparently this technique is supposed to be a combo, but it's more than potent on itself too. I am assuming it immobilizes the opponent?
• When the combo is used, well that seems quite OP.
• Instead of the technique, I am gonna speak of the combo as a whole, even though it takes up 80 chakra and gives 120 Damage, it's good because it actually immobilizes the opponent, so there's higher accuracy.

Weak points

• This jutsu isn't really one that I would like to use individually; there are no obvious advantages against similar jutsu. If I wanted to do the combo, I would use it, but then I should be knowing Katon and Raiton.
• The combo takes up 80 chakra and gives 120 damage, compare that with two S-rank tech(each 40) giving a combined damage of 160.
• -

Combinations-strategies Don't even even need to give this one...xD

Ways to counter: To avoid the combo in general, if the first attack is avoided, then it's fine.
As for avoiding the attack/countering it, as soon as I see the opponent perform the attack, I can use the Earth Shelter Technique, ensuring that the mud does not directly touch me. The oven created by the lightning may break the dome, but I could use Hiding like a Mole by then to get out of the path of the fire.

*weaving the required hand seals, I create a portal in the sky much above the ground while focussing my doton chakra into it such that it drops down a large amount a mud onto the opponent in front of me.*

 

[Professor Sarutobi]

Good Good

(Doton: Otoshibuta) – Earth Release: Dropping Lid
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user creates a giant, boar-shaped, earthen lid high in the air that falls on the target, trapping them underneath.

Form the Snake seal and cause another giant portal to open in the sky just like the sticky earth drop jutsu but instead of bringing forth mud, drop down a giant boar-shaped lid of clay on top of the area.

(Doton: KageBunshin no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Shadow Clone Technique
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 25
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique creates a shadow clone made of mud of the user. Since its made of mud, it can continue to reform and mould itself back to its original shape. After reverting to mud, it can hold the opponent in place. The user can create upto three clones. They can also use up to C rank earth techniques.

Form the normal Shadow Clone seal but instead of pure chakra you'll use earth chakra to create a mud clone of yourself with your same appearance and mass. If the clone is struck by taijutsu or physical attacks it can reform itself or it could turn into mud and bind the enemy in place for you to strike. Because they are made of pure earth chakra they can use low level Earth jutsu as well.

 

[Sydd]

Strong points

• Restricts opponent's movement
• Restricts opponent's vision(darkness, yes?)
• Makes the opponent waste at least one move to get the boar off. It's a damn offensive move, and not a supplementary one!

Weak points

• Well, it's quite easy to avoid the attack.
• All range attack, but if it is short, well I risk compromising myself or my comrades.
• Can be annihilated mid-air -_-

Combinations-strategiesWhile the opponent is suffering from the boar's mass' recoil, I can run a strong Raiton attack through the boar(I really haven't had much Raiton training so I can't take names)

Ways to counter: Well, yeah, mid-air annihilation by Raiton, or moving into the ground.


*forming the Snake handseal, I create a giant portal in the sky and focus my doton chakra into it while using shape manipulation, to make it boar shaped, and drop it on the area in front of me*

---

I have pretty much learnt the fundamentals of this Jutsu, so pardon me if you feel I am plagiarizing from my Ninjutsu thread.
Strong points

• Clones can do several attacks at the same time. This helps in breaking the time frame. U_U
• Human Shield( I would have pointed out the 'hard-to-find-who's-real one but according to some sources that is just godmoded in battle)
• There are several other uses of Shadow Clones, but they can be done by just normal chakra. So why Doton, you ask? It's because the normal Shadow Clones are generally weak, but these Earth Shadow Clones can reform themselves via the mud! You've mentioned some more stuff. ;o

Weak points

• Lightning. Damn. >_>
• If the opponent makes all of the Shadow Clones deform in one place and I am in it, I could end up getting stuck.
• -

Combinations-strategiesI can combine this with other elemental Shadow Clones; woop.
I can use some of the dome-involving attacks and trap my clones and my enemy in it, he'd have to destroy clones first, and that'd just mean more mud, wouldn't it?


Ways to counter: A large wave of raiton. (again, I am sure there's such an attack, but I can't take names)

*I create an image of myself in my mind while forming the tiger handseal, and run doton chakra into my surroundings and via shape manipulation make an earthen shadow clone of myself*

Sorry for the late reply. Exams were going on, they ended five days ago, but you know, those five days were the recovery period.

Edit: Also, I won't reply very frequently till 10th since I will be travelling.
