There you are. Come with me.

*grabs your leg and drags you down into a large underground cavern where the other Peins wait*

Right. Now that we're all here tell me all you know about earth release. Include its uses, forms, elemental strengths and weaknesses, related Kekkei Genkai, and possible results when mixed with other elements.

Earth 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. Earth Release affinities are the most common amongst the ninja of Iwagakure, and is commonly affiliated with the Snake seal and/or slamming their palm onto the ground.

Earth is strong against water, but weak to lightning. This is because of Earths ability to absorb the water, and because lightning rips through the Earth. Earth is used in multiple KKG's and various styles. This list includes Wood Release (Water + Earth), Lava Release(Fire + Earth), Dust Release (Wind + Fire + Earth), and Deidra's explosive clay.

A decent explanation. Remember that earth can take new forms when combined with another element. Fire can heat earth to a hot molten state similar to lava. Also when earth is saturated with enough water it turns into mud. Feel free to ask if you ever have any questions.

Since you've never molded doton chakra before try acquiring a strong mental image of the nature of earth (a description of earth's characteristics) and mold a portion of your chakra to mimic that nature. When you've got the hang of it try channeling a small amount of doton chakra into the ground and manipulating the earth to raise three small pillars from the ground, each with a different shape.

Trunks nods his head in confirmation. I fully understand, Sensai, and have no questions at this time.

He steps toward the Deva Path and readies himself with a couple of meters between them. Manipulate my chakra in such a way that it encompasses the vastly different characteristics of the different forms of Earth. Firm as rocks, but malleable as sand. Loose as mud, but devastating like lava... Durable as diamonds, but as dependable as the ground we stand on.

As he mutters this last word, Trunks extends his hands palms down, and a cylinder shaped column raises to meet them. He then proceeds to separate his hands, where a square faced column rises on the left, and a triangular shaped column raises on the right.

Not quite what i'm looking for. You're only describing the obvious. You need to include exactly how you're performing the technique, how your doton chakra is used to create the pillars in those shapes.

Sorry :dunno:

I focus on the chakra circulation through my body and use the knowledge I have of the different forms of earth to decipher it. I concentrate the doton chakra to amass in the top of my legs, just as a starting position. Once I feel that I should have more than enough collected, I start transferring it to the chakra release points found at the bottom of my feet.

I believe I understand now, Ushiro-Sama I say closing my eyes.

I stomp the ground in order to infuse the earth within the immediate area with my chakra. Allowing it to use my body as its medium, I release a steady stream manipulating it in a circular motion as to wrap around the middle of the slab of earth directly beneath me. Once it is going as such, I focus on manipulating the flow of the chakra to the left of the slab, so that it travels in a straight line before turning left at right angles. It would do this repeatedly, until eventually meeting its starting point, forming a square face. After this task is completed, I manipulate the chakra on the right to travel in a straight line until turning left at 60 degree angles. After three of these turns, the chakra would meet its starting place like before. With one hand motion, I start to make the columns rise from the ground. Once I have brought all three of the chakra infused earth columns to the surface, before Deva Path's feet, I look up seeking approval.

Is this better, Sensai? I mutter with an elongated gaze.

Much better. Now hold out your hand and raise a chunk of earth from the ground. Apply shape manipulation to it and form a staff you can use as a weapon. It is possible to throw it or even create multiple staffs but you'll only need one for now. Fight off this guy.

I start by once again concentrating my doton chakra at the release points at the bottom of my feet. I stomp the ground to infuse it with my doton chakra, and immediately raise the chunk of Earth to start to form the staff. "I need it long, but not too long. About 5 feet should do," Trunks thinks to himself. "I will also need it to be slim so that it is easy to swing, but also very concentrated so it doesn't break with one swing."

I keep all of this in mind, and use my doton chakra to change the shape of the chunk to fit the description above.

Is this Ok, Ush-

Just then, I notice a swinging kick coming at my side. With a fluid motion, I use the top of the staff to block your leg from reaching my body, and then swing the bottom of the staff around so that it would catch your other leg as you were about to land, forcing you onto your back.

Oops, my bad. I guess I got a little carried away there Trunks says with a chuckle.

Nicely done. Now release doton chakra around your arm and convert it into a ring of rocks levitating around it before hurling them at your target using your chakra. Strike him out.

I extend my right arm, forcing my chakra to run throughout it. I then concentrate it so that it is solely doton chakra, and have it travel in a spiraling motion up and down my arm. By using shape and nature manipulation, I convert my chakra into 5 baseball to softball sized rocks. Noticing the Pein coming at me, and hearing Senpai's words, I sling three rocks just to my left of the Pein, at about naval level.

Strike three and you are out! I say excitedly. Then I notice that the Pein is still closing in. "I have to stop taking these things so literally," I think as I filing the other two rocks at the Peins shins, hopefully stopping him this time.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

I focus my doton chakra by forming the Rat handseal, then I release it into the ground in order to force 4 big sections of rock to rise all around Animal Path. By combining two on either side, I enclose the position of the Pein with the circle of rock. In one swift motion, I cause the two halves to slam together, enclosing and crushing Animal Path inside.

Like this Senpai?

Good job. Here is the best method of underground travel. You will need to channel doton chakra around your body, transforming the ground you are touching into fine sand that will be easy to dig through swiftly. Not only that, while you are underground you should be able to sense your location and people on the surface through the earth's magnetic fields. Finish this obstacle course. I recommend cheating. ;)

*points to a path filled with traps, lava, and giant animals. At the end is a gold trophy*

(Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Hiding like a mole technique
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.

Next, simply point your arm at your target and manipulate the ground, creating a few sharp pillars of rock to impale him from below. Pick one from the roster and do your thing.

*points to a line-up of 6 nervous Peins*

(Doton: Ganchūsō) - Earth Release: Stone Spikes
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
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 if these are less dense. The pillars/spikes can be done in any earthen surface, including other earth techniques of the user.

Here is another easy jutsu. Send your doton chakra throughout the ground and manipulate the earth causing it to shake a bit and knock your target off balance. There's your target.

*points to a Pein running with a stack of manga. The others chase him furiously*

I focus on my chakra circulation to ensure that it is spreading evenly throughout my body. Then I focus my doton chakra to do the same. As I do this, I notice the ground beneath me is starting to feel soft and I begin to sink a bit. Smirking a bit, I dive underground to dig under the obstacle course. I know I am safe going under the traps, but as I pass I begin to feel warm, and then hot. Knowing this must be the lava pit, I dig further down until I am able to pass beneath it safely. Just as I think I am done with the course, I begin to sense something. I'm not sure what it is, but I know it's big. Naturally, I burrow under this chakra as well to appear behind the trophy. I emerge from the ground, and dust myself off before picking it up, ensuring completion of the course.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

I let out a nervous chuckle at the idea of impaling one of the Peins. Extending my arm in their general direction, I focus my doton chakra on the ground beneath. Using my chakra to practically chisle the rocks, I ensure they are razor sharp, and long enough to pierce any average person. Raising them to the surface with one swift motion, 4 stalagmite shaped rocks emerge and impale Preta Path from all different angles.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

I listen intently as Senpai recites my instructions. I look to find said target once all the explaining was finished, and let out a whole hearted laugh.

I haven't a clue as to what any of you are doing, but ok, Trunks says softly.

I focus my doton chakra into the bottom of my feet. I infuse it into the ground with one hard stomp. As I do so, the ground begins to shake causing the Pein with the stack of manga to toss them into the air before falling, with the others going down directly after them. As they turn their head to look at me, each get a knock from falling manga debris that is now covering the covern floors.

Great. Now simply produce mud in your mouth as a thick, sticky blob and spit it at your target. As an attack it's hardly damaging but aim at the face and you could blind and choke the enemy. It could also work as a sticky trap if aimed at the floor. Ruin his day.

*points to Pein merrily whistling a tune as he walks*

(Doton: Dorosandan) – Earth Release: Mudshot
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 10
Description: The user spits a thick globule of mud at the target. If aimed correctly, it can blind the target's vision and choke them. It can also be used to create a sticky patch on the ground.

*leads you to a large cave*

Next, manipulate the rock in the ceiling of this cave to separate the rocks holding up the ceiling. This will make them come loose and cause the entire ceiling to collapse and fall on anyone inside. Not limited to caves only, the damage varies with the size of the earthen structure, meaning a large enough stucture can damage the enemy like an A rank technique. However, the falling rocks aren't fortified or manipulated by chakra so they are also easy to defend against. Try it out.

*a few Peins are in the cave telling scary stories around a fire*

(Doton: Iwa Yado Kuzushi) - Earth Release: Stone Lodging Destruction
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A (up to 60)
Descripton: The user will do one hand seal and cause nearby earth structures (either natural occurring ones on the field (such as cave ceilings, cliffs, etc), man made (buildings, etc) or jutsu made (up to C-Rank active structures)) to collapse and fall. This technique allows the ninja to control nearby stone and rock and dislodge any vulnerable or sensitive spots, causing the structure to collapse. This can be especially useful if in a cave or a stone lodging. The technique can loosen the rocks and cause them to come raining down on whomever is trapped inside. The damage depends on the size of the cavern or rock lodging above or nearby the target and not on the amount of chakra used which doesn't need to be high. A large cave with a thick ceiling can easily do the physical damage equivalent to an A-Rank technique but due to the damage not being focused or chakra fueled, its also easily defendable.

Now perform the Tiger handseal and transform the ground beneath your target into a river of mud to make him lose his balance as he is carried away from you. Watch out, one of these guys is getting a bit rape-y o_o

*points to Asura path trying to sneak up on you from behind with a creepy smile on his face*

The mud created by this technique can also be used as a medium for the Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet technique.

I concentrate my doton chakra into my chest cavity. I make sure to allow more free form than anytime earlier, due to this being mud and not rock. Once I have enough, I align myself to hit the whistling Pein. I spit out this globular mass of mud that covers the Pein's face, including his eyes, nose, and mouth. This would be enough to blind him, and choke him as his mouth was agape from whistling.
_________________________________________________________________________________________

By focusing my doton chakra into the cave ceiling, I figure out the layout of the rocks that make it up. By dislodging a few of the main supports, the ceiling starts to crumble. This would be about the same time as the scary part of the story, as a pebble fell onto Animal Path's shoulder and she jumped and screamed like she just seen a ghost. Her screams are muffled by the crashing sounds of the ceiling caving in.
_________________________________________________________________________________________

I laugh nervously as you mention rape, but as I do I start to sense someone closing in on me from behind.

OH HELL NO! I say as I form the tiger hand seal.

Just as Ashura Path starts to lean forward to get me, the ground beneath him changes. It goes from solid earth to a very loose mud. This change causes the Pein to slide away from me, allowing me to breathe easy for a moment.

The hand seal allows me to concentrate my doton chakra into the ground behind me. I infuse it deep into the ground, so once I complete the jutsu, it would create mud deep enough to sweep someone away, like a river. By using nature manipulation, I change the solid earth of the area into loose mud. I sigh as the Pein is swept away by the mud slide that results from my actions.

Better. Now perform the Ram, Horse, and Dragon handseals before manipulating the mud you just created into the shape of a dragon's head. Then have it gather mud and condense it into several balls within its mouth fired at your target. That guy looks like he's getting up. Finish him!

Next, perform the Rat, Horse, Dog, and Snake handseals and raise many rock pillars from the ground. Control the pillars to surround your target, trapping him in a prison of earth. Make sure this adorable pup doesn't get lost.

I gather my doton chakra by forming the Ram - Horse - Dragon hand seals in a split second, and I focus it on the river of mud flowing directly behind me. I use shape manipulation of my chakra to force the mud into a dragon's head. As I do this, the dragon's head seems to come to life by opening its jaw relatively wide. As this happens, a flurry of concentrated mud balls shoot out of the dragon's mouth at a fast rate. The mud balls would converge onto Asura Path as he attempts to stand, pummeling him back into the mud.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________

As Sempai finishes his statement, I turn to see the "puppy". It returns the look with an apparent blood lust in his eyes.

Easy there Fluffy.. Erm.. Cerberus.. Whatever your name is.

As I say this, the dog starts to charge at me, snarling and drooling all the while. My immediate reaction is to start gathering my doton chakra by forming the Rat - Horse - Dog - Snake hand seals, and infuse it into the ground between myself and the three headed beast. Then I use shape manipulation to form numerous staff-esk poles from the earth infused. Just as he is about to enclose onto my location, I raise the bamboo looking pillars from the ground on all sides of the dog, stopping and trapping him in his current location.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________

I listen intently as Senpai recites the instructions. As he finishes, I ready myself, as these never end in a pleasant situation for me. My assumptions are confirmed as next I see the pebbles on the cave floor get picked up and carried by the wind vortex sent at me. I gather my doton chakra into my hands, and infuse it into the ground by slamming my hands onto it. Next, I use shape manipulation to carve out a section of earth that looks like a wall. I swing the slab upward, so that it stands straight up directly in front of me. As the wall settles, the wind vortex hits it. This stops the attack, but forces my wall to crumble and spray me with bits of debris from the attack.

Not bad. Now simply produce a river of mud in front of you like you've done before except this one can travel further and does not require the use of preexisting earth. Of course it doesn't move very fast due to its thickness but the main purpose of this jutsu is to be used in conjunction with water jutsu in order to speed up the river's flow or to make water jutsu muddy and more forceful. Try it out.

(Doton: Doro Hōshi) - Earth Release: Mud Spore
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: This technique lets the user summon a river of mud infront of them by lifting one of their hands in the air. This technique can have water added to it to speed up the flow and increase its power.

Next, i want you to focus doton chakra throughout your body and merge with the earth itself, allowing you to travel through it up to 3 meters deep without having to dig or even move the ground. It is great for moving unseen and sneaking up on your target. The downside is your inability to sense what's going on on the surface and the inability to merge and unmerge quickly. Get over here.

(Doton: Dochū Eigyo no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique
Rank: C
Type: Defence/Supplementary
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Using this jutsu, a person can hide underground until they're ready to attack an opponent by merging with the ground itself. By utilizing earth-chakra, the person can stealthily emerge from the ground without disrupting the ground around him. The disadvantage with this technique is that merging with the ground is rather slow and while perfomring the technique, the user is vulnerable to high ranked Earth techniques. The user isn't hidden from doujutsu or sensory ninjas and cannot travel beyond the 3 meter deep mark. Moving around in the ground is slow and the user cannot sense very well what is happening above.
