Earth with Reborn.

[Legendary Broly]

Wow, thanks for the fast reply :-D
Btw, what bio are you using to train me ? xD
. . . . . . .

I listen intently to Senpai's explanation of the next method. Everything sounds pretty straight forward so when he asks,
"Any questions?"
I shake my head and reply,
"Nope, everything sounds pretty clear. I have no questions at the moment Senpai."​

 

[Reborn]

I'm using my senpai bio to teach you.
__________

Now I want you to tell me how you'd perform the following

• Create several earthen spikes to skew your opponent
• Raise a large wall of earth beneath your feet
• Create a dome of earth around you

 

[Legendary Broly]

And this bio does not have a specific name ?

.....

Senpai continued and says,

Now I want you to tell me how you'd perform the following ​

• Create several earthen spikes to skew your opponent
• Raise a large wall of earth beneath your feet
• Create a dome of earth around you

​

Since I had been deprived of bloody cake this whole time I had to think over how to answer Senpai's instructions for a good time. It took me awhile but eventually I thought of some feasible answers. Clearing my cake deprived throat I began,

"Senpai, to create all of the said things, I would gather my chakra up inside my body and mold this chakra into doton chakra. I'd then send this doton chakra into the ground by channeling my doton chakra from my body and through my feet which are firmly planted to the ground as I do so. Once my doton chakra has been channeled into the ground below me, using shape manipulation I can manipulate areas of the ground where I had released my chakra into to create the things asked. "

"In the case of the earth spikes, I would simply concentrate my doton chakra in the ground (below the ground's surface) which is in a relatively close proximity to my opponent. Short range from them would be ideal, but no more than mid range. I'd use shape manipulation to mold this area of ground into several earth spikes that were slanted in my opponents direction i.e. Not vertical. Once I had done this, I would use my doton chakra to thrust the spikes out of the ground and in the direction of my opponent, hopefully impaling them. I may have to use shape manipulation for the duration of the technique in case I have to make the spike bigger or something like that."

"As for raising a large wall beneath my feet, I'd concentrate my doton chakra I had released into the ground in the area directly beneath my feet and the area surrounding my feet which will cover the distance to roughly how large I want my wall to be. i.e. a certain length and width. I'd then mold the earth that this chakra was concentrated upon into the desired shape of my wall. i.e. A pillar can be considered a type of wall so in this case I'd use shape manipulation to mold the earth into a circular or square shape. I'd then simply manipulate my doton chakra to move upwards within the earth which should as a result make the earth it is inside, rise with it (rising in the shape it was molded into of course)."

"To create an earth dome around myself I'd concentrate my doton chakra in a circular outline around myself, a good few metres from me with me at the center of this circle and like with the wall, I'd lift my chakra upwards and as a result the earth around the outline of this circle shall lift upwards. As it does so, I'd use shape manipulation to make the rising earth slope inwards to the center of the circle in a dome shape ultimately concealing me inside within a hollow area."

I finished and Senpai closed his eyes seemingly absorbing all this information. I took my chances then; drawing a carefully stowed away piece of cake from my trowsers pocket. I stuff it in my mouth hoping I can consume it before Senpai finishes assessing with his eyes closed...

Any questions about the techniques in this method?

*Looks like Sensei hadn't noticed*

"No Sensei, I have no questions at the moment."​

 

[Reborn]

Senpai...I'm senpai not sensei -_-''

anyway, give me the advantages and disadvantages to this method. No need for strategy this time around, i'm changing up my it up for this method and beyond.

 

[Legendary Broly]

As I wait for Senpai's reply, his face screws up and his eyes narrow.

"Senpai...I'm senpai not sensei"

He resembled my Taijutsu teacher, so I had got confused. But still, Senpai got so grumpy fast..

"Anyway, give me the advantages and disadvantages to this method. No need for strategy this time around, i'm changing up my it up for this method and beyond."

Energized from my earlier piece of cake, I am able to think more clearly than before and come up with some answers.

"Okay Senpai, well there are some clear advantages for this method. One of these advantages is that this method tends to allow you to change the characteristics of the landscape. This is an advantage as it can make the landscape undurable for an opponent as it becomes too treacherous, rugged etc meaning there is great risk that they could get injured, i.e. Chasms ,fissures in the ground could mean that an opponent could potentially fall into them.
For example, the following technique."

Note: This does not split the earth appart directly to cause opponents to fall in the fissure.

"Also by changing the characteristics of the landscape, you could potentially stop techniques being able to be used altogether. For instance, you can combine pre existing water with an earth manipulation technique to get mud. As a result, the water becomes mud, thus preventing water techniques that require a pre existing water source to be used if that was the only water source on site. Of course, you could only do this in a concentrated water source... not something like the ocean. For example, by using the following technique and channeling it into a pre-existing water source like a small pond or a flowing river (as water flows into area it becomes mud) you turn the water source into mud."

"Further yet, when compared to Method 1: Own created, the range of which a lot of the techniques of the Environmental manipulation method reaches, seems to be far greater than the techniques in Own created. There also seems to be more of a range of defensive and offensive techniques in Environmental manipulation as opposed to Own created."

"What's more is some of the techniques in Environmental manipulation are less anticipatable than the techniques in own created. For example, in Own created, there are a lot of projectiles. Projectiles are often easier to anticipate and thus counter and avoid. Further yet, because you must manifest your earth chakra into whatever technique first, an opponent again has time to anticipate what's going on as they can see you manifesting your chakra in some cases i.e. body armour being created or spilling mud from your mouth etc. For environmental manipulation, a lot of technique creating occurs under ground where your opponent cannot see, and hence, it becomes harder for them to anticipate a technique and as a result counter it on time, if at all. For instance the following technique happens so quickly. It is near impossible for your opponent to realize what you are doing and to stop its effects in time."

[Reborn]

Perfect on the first part. Second part misses the point.

Though the techniques you listed for examples as for potential risk to you and your comrades (if any), that disadvantage is self initiated and controlled, meaning if you were to use these techniques where you'd be placing yourself in a less than satisfactory position, that is your choice and your ability to control it. Every technique has the potential to harm you or a comrade in some given situation, but it's the choice of the you, as the user, to decide how to use techniques.

Something you cannot control, however, is the ability to use a certain jutsu if there are pre-existing conditions that need to be met before hand, like this method. Tell me, how are you going to use these techniques without being connected to the earth, or being close enough to the earth to channel your chakra into it? Rhetorical question obviously. You can't. There are times when you're fighting and you won't be able to use these types of techniques since you're on a battlefield with sand instead of earth, or ontop of a water source, in the air, or fighting on a ground that prevents the usage of earth. That is a condition you cannot always control and that is why it is a disadvantage when considering these types of techniques.

Second part you mean disadvantages right? :| I suck at those T.T

. . . . . . . .

"Perfect on the first part. Second part misses the point."

Misses the point?! :NO: Well at least I got the first part right ..

I listen as Senpai continues..

"Though the techniques you listed for examples as for potential risk to you and your comrades (if any), that disadvantage is self initiated and controlled, meaning if you were to use these techniques where you'd be placing yourself in a less than satisfactory position, that is your choice and your ability to control it.

I nod,
That makes a lot of sense.

"Something you cannot control, however, is the ability to use a certain jutsu if there are pre-existing conditions that need to be met before hand, like this method.

That is a condition you cannot always control and that is why it is a disadvantage when considering these types of techniques."

I nod again, far more vigorously than before.
That was such an obvious disadvantage, how on earth had I missed it.

I think over Senpai's words for a moment before speaking.

"Okay Senpai, that makes a lot of sense. But before we move on, I have a question, How high in the air can you be to be able to channel your earth chakra into the earth? Like what's the limit?"​

I'd personally say, don't go beyond short range. At the very least do not extend past the range allowed of a technique. If there are obvious things like "slamming your palm on the ground" or something along those lines, obviously you need to be connected. Though I would definitely say, stay close range to the ground, no more than mid.

Next lesson

Method 3: Advanced Conversions

This method is just like the last one, however, it involves changing the structural foundation of the earth as opposed to where previously, we were just focusing our chakra into the ground to create/manifest entities or manage techniques. These techniques in this method involve channeling one's chakra into the earth and changing the substance to create mud, sand, gravel, etc. These techniques fall into a different category than the previous method because of the fact that it's changing the substance from pure earth to something more refined and almost different entity all together, however, still being considered earth.

"This method sounds awesome Senpai."​
