Earth Training [Chrom]

[Chrom]

Ended on this:

(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.

 

[Shinta]

So, this next one is a fairly simple jutsu that has some pretty decent uses.

Channel your earth chakra into the ground below my clone, using the chakra to force several sharpened spikes out from the ground around him. The spikes should vary in size so that some hit his legs, some his chest, and even a few may be tall enough to pin his neck/head in place.

 

[Chrom]

*Focusing on my own Earth Chakra, I send it through the ground in a beeline towards your clone's feet - then using chakra manipulation and sheer concentration, I bring my right hand up in the shape of a fist, causing exactly three spikes about a meter wide each to come out from the earth. The first explodes right before him and pierces his face, the second behind him skewers his behinds, and the third is from his right side, stabbing through much like a hotdog being placed into buns, causing your clone to poof.*

 

[Shinta]

You... yeah >_>

(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

Since people seem to get confused... that is what you just performed, not what I am about to teach you xD

A wild Shinta Clone appears.

Chrom sends out Golem.

Attack<~ ..........Fight
Item..........Run

Rollout..........Earthquake<~
Dig..........Rock Throw

Golem uses Earthquake...
It was Super Effective...

Yeah, channel your earth chakra and then stomp on the ground, sending your earth chakra into the ground to cause a tremor that throws my clone off-balance, leaving him susceptible to a follow up attack.

How would you use this to your advantage?

 

[Chrom]

*Channeling Earth chakra into the soles of my foot, I focus my eyes upon Shinta's clone, whom stands several feet away from me. Mirroring the path within my eyes, I brought my right foot down violently while releasing a burst of earth chakra in such a way so that the ground rumbled, causing a quick, yet efficient tremor that knocked his clone right off his two feet. Within that time frame, I dashed forward, charging chakra in my feet to maintain balance as I brought my dominant hand back, socking his clone straight in the face.
How to use it to my advantage? Well, when you knock someone off balance, there's a time frame of vulnerability, to where I can sock them like I just did. >.<*

 

[Shinta]

My clone did nothing to deserve that O__O'

Spoiler

(Doton: Yochi no Douyou) - Earth Release: World Shaking
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will concentrate and release their chakra into the ground to create a small tremer that can result in harming the enemy target.

Gather earth chakra into your mouth, changing it into a thick mud that you will spit out in the shape of a rough ball. You can use this to strike my clone in the eyes to painfully blind him, or just create a sticky patch on the ground for him to step on and trip over.

 

[Chrom]

*Focusing a layer of Doton chakra into my mouth, I also add insert Suiton chakra into it as well, turning the substance muddy as I exhale it rapidly - the first time on your clone's eyes, successfully blinding him so that he would miss his attacks, all the while unable to avoid or see mine, and the second time, upon his two feet, so that he is left on the ground in a vulnerable state, disabled from moving or dodging incoming attacks.*

 

[Shinta]

O__O'

Nicely done xD

Spoiler

(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.

Similar to how you made the earth temor of few moments ago, inject your chakra into that cave. The only difference this time is I want you to send your chakra up through the walls and to the roof to dislodge the stalactites and other rocks to fall off and crush my clones.

 

[Chrom]

You steal my lines. XD and I don't see no cave, LOL.
*Focusing on my earth chakra, I send it throughout the ground towards the THAT cave, allowing it to run through it as I search for any potential weakness. And then with a burst of chakra, I cause exactly one rock towards the top of the cave to dislodge. With dramatic sound effects, the entire cave crashes on Shinta and his twenty clones.*

 

[Shinta]

*As the cave crashes down on top of me and my clones, I simply merge with the ground and the re-emerge behind you*

Glad you found the cave xD

Spoiler

(Doton: Iwa Yado Kuzushi) - Earth Release: Stone Lodging Destruction
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Descripton: This technique allows the ninja to control nearby stone and rock. 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.

Okay, make a river of mud. I'm giving you little instruction here as I think you know enough about shape and chakra manipulation to do it xD

Simply inject your chakra into the ground through your feet as you perform the Tiger hand seal... the rest is up to you to work out xD

Once you have the mud river formed, (is only short range, so it's more of a puddle) perform the Ram → Horse → Dragon hand seals and manipulate the mud to form a dragon's head, just a little smaller than you are. Then make it shoot a mud-ball at my clone.

 

[Chrom]

Dem cheaters!
*Placing my hands together so that the fingertips are touching one another, I form the Tiger handseal as I release waves of Earth Chakra throughout the ground towards Shinta's clone. Once I have the small puddle formed, I switch handseals into Ram, Horse, and then Dragon, and then focusing on the flow of the Earth chakra, I bring up a dragon's head, then causing it to open its mouth and spit mud-balls at the clone - exactly five of them, all aimed towards the crotch area. Hell yeah.*

 

[Shinta]

I see no cheaters! O__O

Why my clones crotch, he doesn't deserve that :T_T:

Yeah, add fire makes it more deadly. Read the description for details!

(Doton: Doryū Taiga) - Earth Release: Earth Flow River
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After forming the needed hand sealTiger, the user transforms the ground underneath their opponent into a river of mud that throws them off balance and away from the user. The mud created by this technique can also be used as a medium for the Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet technique.

(Doton: Doryudan) - Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: When used with Earth Release: Earth Flow River, the user will then perform the Ram → Horse → Dragon they can create a dragon-like head to fire concentrated mud at an opponent. This can also be combined with a fire jutsu to shoot lava toward an opponent.

Someone needs to put those two in the correct order in the jutsu-list >_>

---

Back in the D-ranks, you might remember a jutsu that was used to make things like small earth tools and whatever else. You might also remember that it could be used to form an earth pillar, with this jutsu you'll make many, many pillars to form a box around my clone. You'll need to perform the Rat → Horse → Dog → Snake hand seals and then direct your chakra into the ground around my clone, forcing up many pillars of earth to wall around him.

 

[Chrom]

Thanks for the reminder...remind me again later. xD

*Focusing my chakra into the ground, I slam my hands together, forming the handseals of Rat, Horse, Dog, into Snake consecutively. With those complete, I then manipulate the Earth around Shinta's clone to come up, solidifying into exactly four walls that create a box around him. The walls are about the clone's body length so that they wrap him in a present perfect for delivery.*

 

[Shinta]

I love presents xD

If you were so inclined, you could use a B-rank fire jutsu to melt the earth so my clone would then have become trapped and melted by the lava... Go find a fire senpai/sensei xD

Spoiler

(Doton: Ganchūrō no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Rock Pillar Prison Technique
Rank: C
Type: Defence/supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After performing the required hand seals Rat → Horse → Dog → Snake and they then create a large amount of rock pillars from under ground. They can then be controlled to surround their opponent and create a bamboo-like thicket of rock.

Now, punch the ground with your fist after charging said fist with your earth chakra. After you make contact with the ground, you will inject your chakra to cause a section of earth to suddenly rise up in front of you to serve as a defensive wall. Be sure to state the size as if it's too small... it doesn't do you any good >_<

I'm sure you can see the issue with making a large, non-transparent wall in front of you?

 

[Chrom]

Yeah, you'll teach me fire too...oh, wait...that's ironic...

*After holding up my dominant hand, I focused Earth chakra into it and then made abrupt contact with the ground, sending and manipulating it upwards to form a wall before me, about five meters tall and wide. I stand for a moment, staring at the dumb wall before me, then shrugged.*

Yeah, I can't see ****. This is bad.

 

[Shinta]

Really? O__O'

Spoiler

(Doton: Doroku Gaeshi) - Earth Release: Earth Shore Return
Rank: C
Type: Defence
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After striking the ground with their hands, the user creates a large wall of earth in front of him/her. The defence is not perfect though, since a hard or drilling impact can puncture the wall. Also, since this technique only guards frontal attacks, the enemy can easily attack from the side or even from above.

You already know how to make a mud river, the following is just a long-ranged version of which you can control the flow rate and thus, the power of it:

Spoiler

(Doton: Doro Hōshi) - Earth Release: Mud Spore
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This technique lets the user summon a river of mud infront of them. This technique can have water added to it to speed up the flow and increase its power.

Perform the Boar → Ox hand seals and then place your hand on the ground to inject your earth chakra, sending it under my clone. Use your chakra to spiral the earth in on itself with the epicentre under my clone, or at least close by, to suck my clone in and kill him.

How would the type of terrain and what's on it, affect the power or outcome of this jutsu?

 

[Chrom]

*I focus on my earth chakra, then bring up my hands, performing a succession of handseals of Boar into Ox. Immediately afterwards, I slam my hand upon the ground with brute force, sending it towards Shinta's clone, and began spinning the ground beneath it with careful manipulation and control of the Earth chakra. After a moment, his clone stumbles, losing balance, a surprised expression upon its face as it faces its doom inside the tornado of earth.*

Well, if there were trees and other shit on the ground, anyone caught up inside the antlion would also be spinning around merrily in the collateral damage, not to mention, it's pretty much a murder-go-round. Yep.

 

[Shinta]

I forgot which method I'm teaching you .__.

Spot on with the murder-go-round analogy O__O'

Spoiler

(Doton: Retsudo Tenshō) - Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After performing the required hand seals Boar → Ox → placing hand on the ground, the user causes the ground surrounding the enemy to spiral inwards on itself, burying them alive or crushing them. This technique is capable of causing quite a bit of damage to the area. This technique is much more damaging if used in rocky mountainous areas, or inside a cave.

While using your chakra to seek out and effect the Dragon's Vein's under the earth (Lines of energy that criss-cross the earth) perform the Rabbit → Boar → Rat → Horse → Tiger → Snake hand seals. Then you'll be able to lift up areas of earth and spilt them apart to form chasms of which my clone's will fall into, where you can then close them up... the rest speaks for itself in that scenario O__O'

My clones (4) are distributed around the battle field, two in mid-range in front of you, one in short range to your left and the last on in long range to your left. Kill them all with the one use of the jutsu .__.
