As I see your clone, I begin to run at it in a zig zag pattern while gathering my Earth chakra until I am with in short range. I release my Earth chakra into the ground causing a huge boulder to arise from the ground, and manipulating the chakra in the rock I levitate it over the clone, rising it up before slamming it down on the clones head, murderizing it to death!

(Doton: Rokkuhanmā) - Earth Release: Rock Hammer
Rank: C

What are some issues with using this jutsu in a fast paced battle?

What are some issues with using this jutsu in a fast paced battle?

Well for one you have to create it from the ground, lift it into the air, and after all that, still manage to drop it on someone. By the time you are creating it, they will be on you like stink on crap...metaphorically speaking

I mean, if they are already short ranged of you...this may not be what you want to be using xD

 

[Shinta]

and that is the problem with most earth jutsu, they take time to activate. Combined with the fact it is short ranged, it is pretty useless and would not be opted for if you needed it in a pinch. It's more of a 'you're far away now and I want to keep you that way' kind of jutsu.

( Doton: Iwa Dangan ) - Earth Release: Rock Bullet
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user manipulating their chakra will point their palm or fist at the opponent, creating a large rock on it which he then sends at the opponent. Alternatively, the user can "spit" the rock. In this case he will spit a large globule of mud which hardens mid way towards the opponent into a large rock.

Two methods of execution with this jutsu... a slower method (though less telegraphed) is by covering your fist in earth chakra, solidifying it into the large rock; the second involves you spitting mud towards your opponent, having it solidify into rock on the way.

Tell me your thoughts on this jutsu (How you'd use it etc) a well as perform it...

I like this one, it's range is nice since a lot of the lower ranked Earth jutsu's don't extend past mid range. I think, if worded properly, this could be used for a very quick counter attack to an incoming close ranged enemy using the 1st version. The second version will remain a globule of mud till halfway to the enemy, so it will remain somewhat less see able than producing the huge rock on your hand then launching it. I think, even if the enemy was short ranged, I'd use the 2nd version more than the 1st.

As my enemy approaches, I quickly gather my earth chakra onto my palm, meading the chakra and manipulating it's shape to form a huge rock in my palm, which I quickly launch at my charging opponent hitting him smack dab on the forehead, exploderating his head from the force...

I know it wouldn't kill them (maybe) but sounded good xD

 

[Shinta]

A solid piece of rock, striking someone in the side of the head (temples) or in just the right place on the nose (with a certain angle), can actually kill them quite easily xD

The picture doesn't really help that much .__.

All you are doing is clapping your hands together, using your earth chakra to cause two blunt pillars of rock to shoot out of the ground, smashing into your target and causing them to be sent airborne.

True indeed xD

This jutsu's OK, the clapping of the hands is a pretty fast way to interrupt someones turn, quickly raising up the ground and smashing them in between. This forces them to waste a move defending/avoiding this jutsu. I have had a taste of some higher ranking earth jutsu's thanks to the deer summons, and this one has an S rank older brother that is a brutal jutsu with 140 damage lol. Earth is such a raw and powerful element. Even how you said above that a well placed attack could easily kill even when it's a C-D rank cause after all, it's still hard as a rock xD

As I see my opponent performing a jutsu with a lot of seals, I quickly gather and mold my doton chakra, releasing it to the ground as I clap my hands together causing two slabs of rock to quickly rise up directly on either side of them, slamming together sending them flying before they could finish the seals for their attacks...

( Doton: Gizagiza no Iwajin ) - Earth Release: Jagged Rock Formation
Rank: C
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will manipulate their chakra and stomps the ground. By doing so, he causes small fractures to rip through the ground, which will then force fragments of earth and rock to rise up from the ground like protruding rock formations to then deal blunt force damage to the opponent and can raise them up into the air

So this jutsu is similar to the previous one, though you activate it by stomping on the ground and you have more control over it. You can either lift the section of earth your opponent is on, into the air, throwing them off balance as well due to the fractured nature of the ground, or you can cause a jagged section of earth to slam into them/knock them around. This is again, blunt force damage... and you're last C-rank xD

 

[Vegeta]

This is interesting, though I'm not a big fan of how the fractures rip thru the ground. Seems the perfect moment to counter this would be when the enemy makes that statement. I don't think I would use this very often since some of the other jutsu's in this rank can produce a similar effect but with less telegraphing involved. I wish I had more hands, I'd give this one 4 thumbs down xD...

After knocking my opponent off balance I gather and mold my doton chakra while stomping the ground, causing the ground to fracture in small tears towards the enemy causing fragments of the earth in front of them to rise up front he ground slamming bluntly into their trachea at an upward angle lifting them up and backwards off the ground with a crush throat....

[Shinta]

Yeah, it's the same with most earth jutsu. It's common to find similar effects through different means even in the same rank. You'll also find some more advanced versions in the higher ranks that do pretty much the same as the lower ranked jutsu, just requiring more chakra and/or covering a larger scale.

(Doton: Retsudo Tenshō) - Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
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 in a mayhem of jagged rocks. This technique is capable of causing quite a bit of damage to a large area. This technique is much more damaging if used in rocky mountainous areas, or inside a cave.

Using the two seals, followed by placing your hand on the ground, you'll focus your earth chakra into a single point, near or under your opponent, where you'll create a sort of suction in the earth to cause the ground to spin inwards, drawing in whatever is on the surface to one central point where it will be forced underground and crushed. This can do some serious damage to a limb if it is caught in the jutsu. In a sandy environment however, this jutsu won't be as damaging though it will still bring your opponent underground. Having said that, a terrain of solid rock or sharp rocks, will cause crushing injuries to your opponent.

( Doton: Dosekidake no Jutsu ) - Earth Release: Earth and Stone Bamboo Shoot Technique
Rank: B

Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user of this technique condenses the soil and rock in the area to sprout out in the form of four large spikes which attack the target from four separate directions to make it harder to evade. However, it can be easilty avoided by escaping upwards.

Focus your chakra into four points in the ground, surrounding your enemy, a box formation works best for this. Then, compress four sections of earth in such a way that they shoot out in the form of a spike towards your target, all at the same time of course. Being that four spikes shoot out from four different directions, your opponent has limit chances to evade this jutsu else be stabbed by four spears of rock.

 

[Vegeta]

I've noticed that as well, glancing thru all the jutsu's. There are some mighty powerful Earth release techs, I see why so many people list it as a specialty.
Intriguing jutsu. I could see this one used on a would be intruder by sneaking up on them, performing the attack out of view to help land it. The summons I have could do this one without giving any tell tale signs since it uses no seals and is basically always touching the ground which would really help since the only warning they would have is the movement of the ground. But heck, if in the right position in battle this could really be a tide changer, trapping your enemy below ground and causing serious damage to boot. I also really dig the range on this one as you can put someone in quite the pickle from long range.

I gather and mold my chakra as I perform the Boar → Ox seals and place my hand on the ground, releasing doton chakra into the ground beneath my enemies feet causing a sort of whirlpool like effect to occur, dropping the ground out from under them in a spiraling manner twisting them up in sharp boulders and rocks as they become entrenched, stuck with only their head sticking out as they cough out blood all over the place...

Another interesting jutsu. Decent range, decent damage. If done right could easily justifiably kill someone. I don't, however, enjoy that they give you the counter for it right in the jutsu 0_0. Kinda takes the fun out of letting your enemy find their own way to counter it. Most people will (including me xD) would probably just use a jutsu that requires you to jump to perform to easily avoid while countering at the same time. But...If using a jutsu like a fire one you taught me that drops meteor sized fireballs from above in conjunction with this (and Swamp of the underworld!) at the same would be a lovely combo indeed.

I gather and mold my chakra, changing it's nature to doton as I concentrate it into the ground beneath my enemy, making 4 sharp spike shoot towards their upper body from 12, 3, 6, and 9 oclock positions around their body, piercing them simultaneously and slamming together in the center, separating the should/head area and the arms of the foolish Ninja from their torso and lower body, murderizing them, forever....

(Doton: Iwa Bunshin) - Earth Release: Rock Clone Technique
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user creates their clone out of stone that he spits from his mouth. Unlike other types of clones the rock clones don’t disappear after being defeated but rather crumble like rubble. These clones can also be used to create a clone of other people than themselves but do not take on the abilities of the copied person. They can use up to C-Rank Earth techniques and are very resistant to physical damage such as that from Taijutsu which they can endure up to B-Rank.

So, you've seen Shadow clones and lightning clones, this is basically the same principle. Except you spit the rock used to form this clone from your mouth, before forming it into the image of your choice; be it yourself, alley or opponent. Another difference, instead of dispersing, it crumbles into rubble once defeated and actually has a solid form, capable of enduring some hits... up to B-rank taijutsu to be specific, while also being able to use up to C-rank earth jutsu.

What do you think would happen, if your opponent mistook you for this clone and went to punch it/throw kunai/stab it etc...

 

[Vegeta]

I would say the clone would smile devilishly, and then cover it's fist in earth and return the favor xD At least if it was my clone it would. And in a very Prideful manner at that! This is an interesting clone, so far the water clones and lightning clones are capable of doing things like ninjutsu/genjutsu but this one seems stuck with mainly just C ank and below earth, though I see the added benefit of being able to alter it's appearance with out using the transformation jutsu on it. I also like that it crumbles as you could use that to perhaps make earth spears emerge from it as it is destroyed by a close range enemy, using the earth for another jutsu

As I gather my chakra, I draw it into my gut as I mod it's nature to doton, and I spew from my mouth a rock which takes the form of a a Ninja running with their tail between their legs from our borders, hypothetically speaking..

(Doton: Iwa no Hogo) - Earth Release: Earth Shelter Technique
Rank: B
Type: Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user surrounds themselves with earth, taken from the immediate vicinity, in order to fabricate a formation of rock that is capable of protecting both the user and others in close proximity, if desired. Doing so, seemingly leaves the surrounding terrain unaltered, even when the quantity of earth used is enough to form a complete dome around multiple individuals as seen when Ittan used this technique. The user can also manipulate the resulting shelter to have openings in it so as to be able to observe outside, as demonstrated when used by Kitsuchi.

This will create a protective dome around you or even just a partial roof if you want, without causing and disruption to the ground around you. It is capable of protecting multiple people, so long as they are within short range radius of you.

Slam hand on the ground and cause several interlocking pillars of earth to shoot up, forming a quarter dome.

 

[Vegeta]

Wow how did I not see this in my user cp xD

I like this one, woulda done a lot of good with that poison rain <_< Hindsight is always 20/20. The fact it leaves the terrain unaltered helps to use it without the enemy seeing it being formed and stopping it.

I gather my doton chakra and manipulate it into the ground, forming a formation of rock above me protecting me from that nasty poisonous rain that had began falling all over the field of battle...

Now this one, I thought I had already learned xD but upon further review it seems I jumped the gun a smidge. Clearly this one can do all sorts of damage if an enemy, say, runs into it at the speed of sound xD. A very fast versatile defensive move

As the enemy approaches, I gather and mold my doton chakra while slamming my hands to ground, creating a 1/4 dome of earth to protrude up from the ground in front of me protecting me from the incoming attack...

The user can also use the technique to manipulate the terrain and trap the target by wrapping earth round their legs preventing them from moving

Using the three seals, you create a wave of earth (not mud) that rolls out to crush your target. You can also ride on the wave if you want or use it to alter the ground to wrap around an opponent's legs. Again, it is earth, not mud it will have more devastating effects on your target.

Do you know the Ninjutsu, Assimilate All Creation?

 

[Vegeta]

Indeed I do remember mud shot, I tried to use it to seal someones mouth shut before they could spew out a fire jutsu (which, imho, would work xD). I like that it allows for mlutiple shots, however the damage decreasing (like all jutsu's that split up the attack) stinks, but I imagine this would be used for more tactical purposes anyways, and certainly not as a kill shot unless it asphyxiates them lol
I gather and mold my doton chakra, forming it in my mouth into mud which I quickly spew out, in 3 balls of mud, at my enemy hitting both his hands and his head, knocking his weapons out of his hands and blinding him simultaneously...

Yes I have learned Assimulate All Creation Shinta-sama

 

[Shinta]

Well yes, that idea should indeed work, so long as they are only using a fire jutsu of c-rank (since each mudball is c-rank in my opinion), as it would form lava over your opponent's mouth... and that doesn't end well.

Can you think of a combination where you could use Earth Flow wave with a fire jutsu, to create a wave of pseudo lava? I say pseudo due to the fact that it would be a B-rank earth + B-rank Fire combination, not true lava which has a double weakness to water.

 

[Vegeta]

Indeed I can. if used to ensnare someone by wrapping their legs, it could be followed up with (Katon: Keshi Makuga Hara) - Fire Release: Exploding Flame Crater stomping creating a tunnel and breathing fire chakra into it erupting pseudo molten lava upwards beneath the captured enemy

 

[Shinta]

I was thinking more along the lines of creating a wave of molten lava by using the jutsu to create a wall of earth while a clone or partner uses the b-rank fire breath (I may be imagining though I think there is a fire stream jutsu in the b-ranks) at the base of the wave, thus creating the lava. However, your method works just as well xD

The second combo you mentioned, is actually a jutsu... that I think you learnt in Fire release. It was performed by Jiraiya in one of the games, A-rank I think.

Description: After performing Assimilate all creation technique the user will collect from nearby rocks and create the necessary mass to perform the technique, Additionally using the rock powder to make the technique more damaging. Since the resulting Human Ball is made of a much stronger heavier material.
Note: Must use Assimilate all creation technique beforehand.

Now this one has been changed since I learnt it, turn limit is reduced and it takes a turn to set up. The set up would best be done when your opponent cannot see you where you then lure them into moving near your trap. The trap is placed by focusing a mass of chakra into a scroll (so basically a fuuin) that when it feels the presence of another chakra (must be within short range), mud will erupt from the scroll and take the form of a wolf or up to three wolves. These can regenerate at the cost of your chakra if damaged by anything other than a massive attack or lightning and will remain on the field for two turns.

Damage points: 10 damage per wolf attack
Description: A trap technique in which the user will place somewhere and is activated upon contact with the opponent's chakra. The user uses a scroll to lay the trap in which releases mud that forms into the shape of wolves that will attack the enemy target/s. Despite being damaged the wolves can reform which can keep the enemy occupied to allow the enemy make a getaway. (Can only create a maximum of 3 mud wolves)
Note: Takes one turn to set the trap up and wolves only last two turns
