Strong points
- –Its useful technique because since, it isn’t a stream or something that simply falls/flows on its own, I can follow up with another jutsu without maintaining this one.–
- –It has the elemental over C-rank below water techniques but, its better suited to clash with defensive techniques or projectile attacks like this one.–
- – The technique is easy to perform since it doesn’t require hand-seals and it is quick to execute-
Weak points
- –Basically it stands no chance against lightning techniques, C-rank and above.–
- –Its simple and straightforward so, it doesn’t bring any kind of deception to the table unless I use it with other earth techniques to trick my enemies.–
- –It doesn’t restrict movement so, one can counter using a body technique to move out of the way and follow up with an attack. -
Combinations-strategies
I would use this in combo with (Doton: Dachigansho) - Earth Release: Ground Bedrock and (Doton: Ganchūrō no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Rock Pillar Prison Technique. First creating a bamboo thicket behind the target then, raise the two walls from opposite sides to cut them off and finally blast with the earth bullet.
Ways to counter this technique
I’d use a B-rank lightning spear, releasing it from my mouth to pierce to through and have it continue onward towards my opponent. I would use a fire technique that was dense, had force, and explosive power to blow through the rock attack.

None.

Strong points
- –Its coming from above which isn’t easy so, the enemy will have to defend from above if they were fighting the user in short–
- –Its performance is quick since, it doesn’t require hand-seals.–
- – It has its usual elemental advantage over water techniques C-rank and below water. Except if your about the swing from above you’d be vulnerable from attack coming at you from the sides or front.-
Weak points
- –You have be manipulating it the whole way so, you can’t perform a second technique while, using this unless you have a clone or ally to aid you.–
- –It has its usual elemental weakness to lightning techniques especially ones used for close combat.–
- – It moves at a normal pace and a fast enemy such as someone with weights off can easily outmaneuver it.-
Combinations-strategies
I would use this technique in combination with the water release: water pillar thrust and the earth spikes technique. So, basically I would launch them into the air with the water follow up by, creating spikes below him before, jumping above him and slamming him with the hammer so, not only does crash into the ground but, is impaled by the spikes I left behind.
Ways to counter this technique
I would most likely use a blunt lightning with my weapons to destroy it. Like super vibrating lightning release sword along with a kenjutsu technique to add more damage and slice right through, breaking it in two so each half falls from opposite sides of where I’m standing.

Strong points
- –It has its elemental advantage over C-rank and below water techniques–
- –I can use the blunt force of the technique up to mid-range compared to using the rock hammer so, I don’t have to get up close to hit them.–
- – As you said, the impact can cause the opponent to fly back and they are left vulnerable in the air as well as rocks being able to rise quite quick. -
Weak points
- –It has its weakness to C-rank and above lightning techniques especially lightning techniques that make use of the body for taijutsu or a sword for kenjutsu–
- –As you said, the opponent can sense the density happen in the ground before they officially rise so they can anticipate the attack–
- – It’ll be tough to use against fast moving opponents like sharingan users with their fast reactions or swift release users with their near instantaneous speed. I’d have a hard time trying to hit them.-
Combinations-strategies
I would use this technique in a combo with the earth release hammer and earth release bullet, creating a melee combo of sorts to overwhelm them. Use the earth hammer first and if they avoid, I’ll get on top of the hammer and then, clap my hands to use this technique hit them from the sides to send them flying and then, launch myself off the hammer that is planted on the ground after using it and fire a glob-like earth bullet from above towards them.
Ways to counter this technique
Since, I’ll have a small chance to react I’ll use a earth technique(unsure yet) to elevate myself into the air and then use a lightning technique from above to overwhelm and blow my target(s) away like the lightning technique that lets me divide it into multiple lightning spears(can’t remember the name).
Questions
None.

Strong points
- –As you stated, it is simple and a very fast jutsu to use and after stomping on the ground I can move on to my next attack.–
- –Once my enemy is dealt damage, this technique is also helpful because as my enemy rise they will be dealt damage as well as be vulnerable in the air so, I can follow up with an attack as they are helpless in the air.–
- – It has the usual elemental advantage over C-rank and below water techniques.-
Weak points
- –Not a lot of weaknesses aside from the range which won’t go past 10 meters and the elemental weakness it has to C-rank and above lightning techniques.–

Combinations-strategies
I would use this in conjunction with (Doton: Ganchūrō no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Rock Pillar Prison Technique and (Doton: Dachigansho) - Earth Release: Ground Bedrock to trap and prevent my enemy from escaping, covering the sides and back and then, using this technique to launch them into the air and then finish up with a taijutsu combo to send them crashing into the sharp rock formations.
Ways to counter this technique
As soon as you see the tear, you would know something is and something is coming your way. You can use an earth to technique to launch yourself backwards and then counter with a lightning to have either travel along the ground or straight towards your target like chidori spear.
