[Doton] Earth with Toku

[Troi]

With this first technique, I would assume you either exert your chakra into a loose spot of stone/earth or you create a small tremor by contact of your feet and ground, exerting chakra into that and creating the tremor to dislodge a stone/earth but I am going to go with the first thing I stated. By exerting your doton chakra into stone/earth, you can dislodge/shake/vibrate any piece of rock from any rock structure or any shinobi-made structure C rank or below. The result being the structure will fall on top of your opponent. I see this useful in any cave or under a mountain side.

Okay sooooo you would gather your chakra into your legs and exert it into the ground, weaving the tiger handseal and by manipulating your chakra in the ground, you will turn the ground into a muddy river which will throw your opponent off balance and carry them away from you which is good if you want or need space in battle.

If you're referring to this technique when asking if you think being on higher ground would make the technique more effective, yes, obviously. That is a basic rule of trajectory and logic, at my age. Something rolling down would have more force than something rolling up against gravity, given they have the same properties in speed which even if they didn't, depending in the margin of difference in speed, the object rolling down might still gather more momentum and speed than an object rolling up. Same with flowing liquids. And since it is chakra fueled, even the technique is performed on even ground, your chakra will still be pushing it forward, it would just take a lot more effort as opposed to just creating the technique and letting it flow itself or having it flow and then giving it a boost with your infused chakra.

I am offended easily. :|

Okay so after using the mud flow river, you will exert your doton chakra into the river of mud and after weaving the ram, horse and dragon handseals, using shape manipulation, you will form a dragon head out of the mud which spits high velocity mud globs at the opponent. As you have stated, when mixed with a C rank fire jutsu, it can become a fake lava jutsu.

As far as your teaching goes, I don't care. This way seems longer and I want to get this over with since earth is long as hell and it's the only element so far I have not completed and I am trying to hurry this up, honestly but you are the sensei so you may do what you think is best for me. However, I think having to over explain this stuff in unnecessary since I already know about basic shape manipulation (and if you think I don't, then I guess this way is better so you can correct me) and all of the side stuff you want me to explain now. It seems like this way would be best for new RPers, which I'm not, but again, I'm not the sensei. You are.

So whichever way you want to do this is fine with me.

 

[Shinta]

Well you've just shown me I don't need to take you down to the basic levels of descriptions and chakra manipulation... so we'll just go back to you giving the analysis and skip over performing the jutsu. Sorry, just needed to see where you're at, without making assumptions. ^^

(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 to rise from under ground. They can then be controlled to surround their opponent and create a bamboo-like prison of rock.

So basic stuff, perform the seals and release your chakra into the ground around your target location, pushing up sections of rock to create a rock fence around your opponent. I have no height reference for the pillars as this is an anime-only (pretty sure anyway) jutsu, but safe to say they would be at least ten meters tall.

Spoiler

(Doton: Doro Hōshi) - Earth Release: Mud Spore
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: This technique lets the user summon a river of mud infront of them by lifting one of their hands in the air. This technique can have water added to it to speed up the flow and increase its power.

Pretty simple, don't worry about talking about this jutsu. This can also be used as a source for Earth Dragon Bullet if you want.

Spoiler

(Doton: Dochū Eigyo no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique
Rank: C
Type: Defence/Supplementary
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Using this jutsu, a person can hide underground until they're ready to attack an opponent by merging with the ground itself. By utilizing earth-chakra, the person can stealthily emerge from the ground without disrupting the ground around him. The disadvantage with this technique is that merging with the ground is rather slow and while perfomring the technique, the user is vulnerable to high ranked Earth techniques. The user isn't hidden from doujutsu or sensory ninjas and cannot travel beyond the 3 meter deep mark. Moving around in the ground is slow and the user cannot sense very well what is happening above.

This is a stealthier version of Hiding Like a Mole Techinque, stealthier in that you don't actually have to dig but simple merge yourself with the ground by flooding your system with earth chakra. You can't go very deep into the ground and you can't use earth jutsu while submerged, let alone sense what is happening above you without another sensing jutsu already active.

 

[Troi]

I just have one question about the technique that may actually be irrelevant, but when it says bamboo prison, I think of thin branches of bamboo. So would it be thin pillars of rock/earth, or thick pillars? Or can you choose?

Understood.

I was liking the third technique until the drawbacks of it, being slow when you perform it and not being able to hear or sense anything above you but it seems okay against non-doujutsu users. Barely okay, being that you are vulnerable to your opponent's earth attacks which I assume would easily crush you to death. Wonderful lol...

 

[Shinta]

In regards to your question, it looks to me (I haven't seen the anime ep where this jutsu is used so just going off a picture) that the pillars are relatively thin; about the diameter of a Telegraph-pole. So you can't really choose a diameter, just the one depicted in the following spoiler.

(Doton: Doryūkatsu) - Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide
Rank: C-A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 15-30
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will first perform the required hand seals Rabbit → Boar → Rat → Horse → Tiger → Snake and slamming the hands on the ground, the user can, by flowing concentrated chakra into the Dragon Veins flowing underground, tear the earth apart, creating large chasms by raising the earth in two oposite sides in the desired location and then splitting that piece of earth through the center. The length, width, direction, and curve of the chasm are all up to the user. Manipulating the Dragon Veins requires fine chakra control, but if one has such skill, they can use this technique to divide the space between the enemy and their own team in two, destroy enemy camps or defences, and even to attack.
Note: This does not split the earth appart directly to cause opponents to fall in the fissure.

After the six seals and slamming your hands onto the ground, to deliver your chakra into the ground, you'll use your earth chakra to manipulate lines of energy usually found within large mountain ranges... but I guess we're assuming this is possible in any largely earth dominated terrain. These energy lines, along with the input of your chakra, will allow you to raise the earth and 'split' it in two like in the following picture.
So basically, not an offensive jutsu and also does not create large chasms in the earth... but rather lifts up sections of earth and allows you to move them apart.

(Doton: Tsuchi Douyou no Hira) – Earth Release: Earth Shaking Palm
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: After performing snake hand seal the user slams their hand on the ground. The result is that the ground becomes heavily turned up with chunks of rubble popping out of the ground. This technique is used as a means to distract opponents to either create an escape or follow through with a surprise attack although it can also do some damage or be udes to destroy enemy earth techniques of equal rank and bellow.

One seal and then slamming your hands onto the ground to deliver your chakra and activate the jutsu... which basically messes up the ground, making the surface loose and uneven to such a point that even larger chunks of earth rise (about the size of a person) up, giving you some cover. A pretty good jutsu against people who might want to utilise fast running to find your blind spot.

So for both of these, just give me your usual run down. ^^

 

[Troi]

Okay, so I understand the first technique rather well, but I wonder how long this would take and also, would it cause any type of tremors or vibrations? Could it be used in a plain field? I consider that an "earth dominated area". z.z Anyway, you weave the six handseals and focusing your chakra in your hands, you slam them on the ground, manipulating it (your chakra) in unison with the lines of energy or "Dragon Veins" which are underground, enabling you to basically turn up the earth in two difference spaces. Much like taking off the lid of two cans the opposite way.

Second technique, one handseal and you slam your hand on the ground, focusing your chakra into it, altering the earthly terrain. If the technique is like you said, having rocks and pieces of earth the size of a person turn up in result, this jutsu is very good for countering things such as swift or anything fast that likes to move around the field, for that matter. I really like it.

 

[Shinta]

I'd say that the effects would be pretty quick, but would of course take longer if you were to effect a larger area. I can't really give you a time reference cause I can't actually think of anything .__. It would cause some vibrations, kinda like a small earth quake but not enough to throw people around and it can be used anywhere that is dominated by solid earth... so not sand, not ice etc, so the plain field should be fine.

(Doton: Kengan no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Fist Rock Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: After performing the snake → Seal of Confrontation and then by encasing their arm in rock, the user can deal a powerful hardened punch against an opponent while being protected from direct contact with their target. If necessary, the weight of the rock can be increased to further increase the punch's destructive power through the Earth Release: Added Weight Technique or the Earth Release: Super Added Weight Technique.

I'm sure you know the seal of confrontation is just the one-handed seal with only your index and second fingers extended upwards? If not, you do now. So after the snake seal and then holding the confrontation seal with one hand, you'll encase your other hand/arm in solid rock to re-enforce your punch. As the description says, the weight can be changed using the S-rank techs we'll eventually get to...

Give me your usual run-down for this jutsu.

Spoiler

(Doton: Ton'neru chika no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Tunneling Technique
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user after performing the required hand seals Ram → Dog → Rat → Bird is able to create a wide tunnel in the ground, this cannot travel through rock though or anything with a high density. The large tunnel that is created allows the user to transport others without detection.
Note: The initial entry of the technique is short range.

You can create a tunnel O__O' The tunnel makes no changes on the surface and the entrance is always created short-range from you... don't spend any time on performing this or anything >__<

Then tell me where you are at with your ninjutsu training, specifically; have you learned Assimilate All Creation yet?

 

[Troi]

Basically armoring your arm in earth to make a tai based attack more lethal. Also protects you from something like if your opponent's body is covered in fire. Your arm, at least, would not suffer any damage in most cases.

Question: is the punch in the description required or can you do this and do another tai tech combined with this?

Understood. Seems useless in a fight? Unless you're trying to escape lol. Might as well use hiding like a mole for anything else.

And I am on B ranks. Don't think I learned that.

 

[Shinta]

If you still haven't learned Assimilate All Creations yet, tell your ninjutsu teacher to also teach you the Earth Jutsu that accompanies it (Assimilated Rock Blizzard).

As for your question, the punch is a part of the jutsu, combining it with a stronger taijutsu is possible but very case-by-case. For example:

Spoiler

(Konoha Raiken) - Leaf Thunder Fist
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: The user jumps into the air while spinning forward, delivering a powerful punch.

If you say you perform the seals while in the air and spinning towards your target, this taijutsu and the Rock Fist jutsu would stack on each other to create a C+C Rank combination. It would be even quicker if you had Earth as your speciality as I would reason that you'd only need the Seal of confrontation for Rock Fist to work.

So you can ask any questions about this along with the next batch of jutsu.

(Doton: Retsudo Tenshin) - Earth Release: Violent Heavenly Earth Needle
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage point: 30
Description: The user after after using earth release: earth flow wave, will perform the snake hand seal and then will create a large needle out of it to impale the opponent.
Note: Must use Earth Release: Earth Flow Wave before hand

Pretty self explanatory, you need to use Earth Flow Wave before being able to use his jutsu. I don't need anything from this jutsu except your questions, if you have any. You also need to learn a b-rank jutsu so yeah... maybe ignore this one for the moment.

Spoiler

(Doton: Dāchiganshō) - Earth Release: Ground Bedrock
Rank: C
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: After forming the necessary seal Snake, the user creates two walls of earth and traps their target in between them, crushing them.

A pretty commonly used jutsu, well I remember it being a commonly used jutsu anyway... you create two walls of earth to rise up either side of your target (left/right or front/back) that will then rapidly smash into each other, crushing your target in a nice Rock-sandwich... or rockwich... Basically another version of Bedrock Coffin, which is what I originally thought this was until I started to look through some pictures.

Spoiler

(Doton: Hokoriheki no Jutsu ) - Earth Release: Dust Wall Technique
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user will manipulate their chakra releasing it into the ground and with a wave of their arm or through the application of a weapon can cause a small wall of dust particles and sand to rise up from the ground and thrusting forwards. This technique creates a simple dust screen that will fade away after 3 turns.

This seems more like a wind release jutsu to me... basically this is a protective dust screen that will only last three turns, or until it is beaten by a stronger jutsu or blown away by another jutsu. You activate it by sending your chakra into the dirt/dust in front of you, with either the wave of your arm or weapon (sword, fan, staff etc) and keep the dust in place using your chakra. This does also mean that it is able to block the vision of Rinnegan and Sharingan, however Byakuugan will still be able to see you through the chakra/dust screen.

and one more since the first one I don't need you to analyse...

Spoiler

( Doton: Rokkuhanmā ) - Earth Release: Rock Hammer
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user manipulates their chakra and creates a huge rock from the ground that will rise up, hammering the opponent by slamming it down from above them.

Basically you manipulate your chakra to lift a huge rock from the ground before moving it over your opponent and then casing it to slam down over them from above. This jutsu is from a game and used by Oonoki.
