after listen to his sensei explanation shikamaru ready to perform the tech.(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. While inside the earth, the user cannot make handseals and can only use Earth techniques below C-Rank. If he tries to do a higher ranked technique, he'll disrupt the Hiding like a mole technique and be left crushed.
This jutsu involves you sending your chakra into the ground you want to dig in, to change the ground into a soft sand that you can easily dig through. Your chakra is what is changing the rock into sand but only in the immediate area you want to dig, allowing you to easily tunnel underground with your hands (like actual digging, like a kid in a sand pit-style) to either take your opponent off guard or to escape etc.
This jutsu also allows you to sense what is happening on the surface while you are tunnelling, in order to locate your target more effectively or better avoid them. However in order for you to sense your target, they actually need to be touching the ground ie. if they are riding on a flying-summon or standing on a tree-branch, you won't be able to detect them.
What are some major concerns when using this jutsu in plain sight of your opponent?
Also, here is a D-rank jutsu that is commonly used with this technique:
(Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user, emerging from the ground below the target area, pulls down the opponent so that only their head is above ground. Unable to move, the opponent can easily be decapitated or tortured.
Note: user must already be underground through the use of (Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Hiding like a mole technique
Pretty sure Kakashi used this early on in the series... again my memory is pretty dull. However, once you have used Hiding Like a Mole Technique, you will approach your target from beneath and grab their ankles, pulling them into the ground up to their neck, thus trapping them. You them emerge from the ground and do whatever you want to them while they are helplessly trapped in the ground.
So for both of these, well I'm sure you know how I want your replies by now... and answer the question I posed for the Hiding Like a Mole Technique.
he focuses his chakra to his feet then channel it to the ground turning the ground into sand. he then start digging the sand and move underground. after he reach under his sensei clone he then emerged under the clone. he didn't emerged completely the only thing can be see emerged is his hand. using his hand he grab the clone feet and pulling the clone underground leaving only the clone head emerged. he then emerged from the ground completely then proceed by taking a kunai then throw it to the clone head making it disperse.
"advantage of this tech is it doesn't require handseal and can be use to surprise attack the enemy. disadvantage of this tech is it would be dangerous if the enemy can sense the user underground because it can be Dodge and countered easily.
in battle this tech can be used to Dodge tech that are aimed at the user by submerged underground this tech can also be use as a surprise attack if the user block the enemy vision before use it.
about the question. if the enemy see the user going underground the enemy can easily use lightning tech to channel electricity into the ground to electrolytes the user and probably cause instant death."
