Earth with Akihiko

[Adachi]

Very good.
Proceed to come over to this cave and cause it to collapse after focusing on its structure.
Do it so that you aren't affected when it falls down too and describe how you would utilize this during a fight.

 

[-S-]

*I begin to mould my chakra into earth chakra which is shocking and course, at which I then slam my hands onto the ground infront of me channelling my earth chakra away from me, up the walls of the cave and into the ceiling. The chaotic movement of the earth chakra causes the rocks in the ceiling away from me to break apart and collapse, and as I do this, I focus hard and try to keep my chakra calm in the areas closer to me to prevent the rocks from caving in on top of me.*

I could use this to inflict serious damage to an opponent far away from me. I can also use it if my opponent attacks me with a load of clones to take them out over a large area.

I could even use this to make a barrier of rock between my opponent; go underground and locate my opponent; and then attack him by forcing up rock formations at his location with my earth chakra

 

[Adachi]

An excellent response. By creating environment, you can also take advantage of it with such jutsus.

(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.

Now, forgive my ignorance, but do you know Suiton yet?

 

[-S-]

Ah okay!

I know D-rank suiton, and Ive begun C-rank!

 

[Adachi]

Oh shit, I've already asked it. @_@ Dam it. My apologies.
Mkay, much like the mudshot technique earlier, proceed to release a flow of earth chakra throughout the earth so that it surges towards my clone, throwing him off balance.
How might you think adding more Suiton chakra to this would affect the technique?
Also, why is it important to knock your opponent off balance in a fight?

 

[-S-]

*I place my hands firmly on the ground, and mould my chakra into earth chakra and channel is through the ground like a stream to the location of the clone. As the stream of chakra surges forward, it creates a ripple like effect on the earth, causing it to become uneven at a fast rate causing the clone to be knocked off balance*

Well, the suiton would make the earth moist, and with this technique, if the earth were to be moist, the ripple effect would be greater and would head towards the clone quicker since it would flow better than solid earth on its own.

Knocking your opponent of balance is extremely important since it can allow for an easy opening, or even stop the opponent from using a certain jutsu!

 

[Adachi]

Wow, pinpoint answer. O_O
Anyways, we're not quite done with this combo. Proceed to form the handseals of Ram → Horse → Dragon in order and then send your chakra into the mud you just created and formulate a dragon out of it.
The dragon should be able to spit mud at my clone.
Be specific on where you aim the mudshots and why you decided to aim them there.

 

[-S-]

*I quickly perform the handseals: Ram → Horse → Dragon. After doing so, I place my hands on the surface of the mud and picture a dragon in my hand; after which I then send a surge of chakra through the mud whilst focusing on the image in my hand. By doing this, I raise a dragon out of the mud; I then channel a surge of chaotic chakra through the center of the dragon, travelling up through it; forcing out mudshots through it's mouth! The mudshots head straight towards the stomach of the clone, and towards the legs of the clone, allowing me to knock it off-balance*

 

[Adachi]

The exclamation mark was a nice touch. O_O
Good, however, remember how think a mudshot can be, including the pure mass of it (force = mass x acceleration). What might be a way to instantly kill your opponent, along with the fact that the muddy river is still flowing?

 

[-S-]

Why thank you!

Ah yes, I see.

Well, I can think of attacking my opponent with the mud dragon and dragging him deep into the flowing mud, causing him to drown and suffocate which would kill him. The flowing river of mud would also be enough to disorientate my opponent.

 

[Adachi]

Hm, good, good. Also, aiming mudshots are extremely powerful and quick, so you can focus on pinning your opponent down quickly in the mud and immobilizing him.

(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.

Alright, for this next one. Send your chakra through the ground, and then cause huge rock pillars to rise from it, surrounding my clone together as it does so.
Then, proceed to cage him by forming a prison with the rock pillars. How might this be utilized both offensively and defensively, as these are very, very tall.

 

[-S-]

*I concentrate, and picture an image of tall pillars in my mind, after which I slam my hands onto the ground, sensing where the clone is and sending my earth chakra to that point; after which I then send a surge of chakra through the ground, forcing up massive pillars which surround the clone in a circular manner. I then manipulate the peaks of the pillars, and make them slam together making a cage, similar to that of a bird cage, around the clone*

You could use the technique to surround yourself from a series of attack which are coming from all around you.

You could also surround your opponent with the pillars, and slam the peaks of the pillars inwards, towards your opponent, which would pierce and kill him.

 

[Adachi]

Well put, S.

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.

Alright, for this next one, build up earth chakra within your hands and proceed to slam the ground before you, creating a huge wall in front of you for defense.
Make sure you state how big it is and what kinds of attacks it would block against.

 

[-S-]

*I focus, moulding my chakra into earth chakra and than proceeding the channelling them into my palms; after which I then slam my hands into the ground, focusing on the image of a large, thick slab of earth. As I do this, a thick wall of earth, roughly about one and a half times my height, erupts out of the earth infront of me.

The wall is thick enough to protect my from ninja tools, or any physical forms of attacks. Or defend me from an incoming B-rank of lower water attack*

 

[Adachi]

Excellent, however, say you were facing an opponent that also pulled off the same move.
How might you get past this defense?
Name two ways.

 

[-S-]

Ah okay,

Well you could use a D-rank, or higher, offensive raiton technique to cancel it out or destroy it. I assume, you could also use a higher rank Taijutsu or Ninjutsu technique to destroy the wall.

Or just casually slip right through it with Kamui.

 

[Adachi]

LOL, well, that works too...if you get ever get a Kakashi bio with MS. O_O

(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.

So this jutsu is somewhat similar to one we've learned before.
In what ways can a huge mudslide be used for?

 

[-S-]

Yeah xD

Well, a mudslide could be used to stop your opponent in his/her path and put them off balance. It can also suppress a wide range attack since the mud is dense and heavy. It could also be used to completely cover and submerge your opponent and kill them through suffocation.

 

[Adachi]

Well done...and well, if you increase the capability of this jutsu with Suiton, then you can also..."ride" on it with a surfboard. Haha.

(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.

For this next one, first use the handseals of Boar to Ox, then proceed to slam the ground with your hand, sending Doton chakra through it towards my clone.
Then, manipulate the Earth around my clone to spiral in itself...like quicksand almost, and then kill my clone as it does so.

 

[-S-]

Haha, that's quite cool.

Okay!

*I begin channelling my earth chakra into my hands; as I do this, I perform the Boar > Ox handseals and then proceed to slam my hands onto the ground; channelling my chakra to the location of the clone. As the chakra reaches the clones, I then manipulate my chakra and make it rotate in a circular fashion, moving inwards to a common center point. The spiralling motion of the chakra causes the earth around the clone to begin to crack and spiral inwards on itself, sucking the clone towards the center; killing it!*
