Earth with ushiro

[Khallil]

1)Watching at the mud river I created before, concentrating on it's chakra, trying to manipulate with my own chakra *Ram,Horse,Dragon* *mud slowly changes in the form of a dragon's head*.... I am still concentrating very good on the Doton chakra, and manipulating it, now I'm gathering some mud into the mouth of the dragon's head, and it changes into a few earth balls..... With my chakra I'm releasing the balls and aiming it a the slowly moving clone in the mud river.... the several balls were shot at the clone, when the balls hit him, the clone vanished.

2)I'm concentrating very well on the Doton chakra, and I'm always focussing on it, and trying to manipulate... I was manipulating the earth chakra around were you were standing, performs handseals* *Rat, horse, dog, snake* several pillars came out of the ground, I am controlling them with the Doton chakra, manipulating their chakra, moving them with my chakra, so they would surround you..

3)once again, I am concentrating really good on the Doton chakra (concentrating on the chakra is the most important and standard step for me ), as always I am focussing on the doton chakra flow, once again, I should manipulate the doton chakra structure, I stroke the ground with my hands, send a segment of chakra into the ground, manipulated the doton chakra, and a defense wall rose up, just like a trapdoor... The wall is steady, but I can feel that the chakra structure of the wall isn't very strong, so it wouldn't be very hard to destroy the wall, just in case, I'm trying to control the chakra of the wall better, so the chakra structure will strengthen a little bit

 

[Ushiro]

*my shadow becomes belts that break two pillars from the ground and toss them at your wall. The wall is damaged a bit but is still steady*

Excellent. For this one just create a river of mud in front of you like you've done before except this one can travel further. Of course it doesn't move very fast since it's mud but combining it with water can speed up the flow and possibly make a water jutsu stronger.

(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.

Next, perform the Boar and Ox handseals before placing your hand on the ground and sending earth chakra through the ground towards your target. You'll have to break up the earth around the target in a violent way and make it spiral inwards to crush whoever gets caught in the rubble. Try it out on this clone.

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. This technique is capable of causing quite a bit of damage to the area. This technique is much more damaging if used in rocky mountainous areas, or inside a cave.

Now i want you to focus doton chakra throughout your body and merge with the earth itself, allowing you to travel through it without having to dig or even move the ground. The downside to it is you can't see a thing while underground. Try it out.

[Khallil]

1)*feels the doton chakra through the feet* once again I send some chakra into the ground with my feet, I am manipulating the earth chakra about 2 steps ahead of me, i'm sending a little bit more chakra into the ground, manipulating it over a bigger area than first.... the earth slowly starts turning into mud, that moves very very slowly... I think that i'm going to use the tiger handseal to help me a little bit.... *performs tiger hand seal, because I needed that for the previous mud river, so maybe it'll help me a little bit*..... there arose a much bigger mud river, one that travels a little bit faster than the first one and further...hmmm.. But I should be able to perform this jutsu with tiger hand seal..i'm going to try again without tiger hand seal... *concentrates very good on the doton chakra, feels how the chakra of the mud river flows that was created with the tiger hand seal* once again i am manipulating the doton chakra, but now I know better how the chakra structure should be....I feel the doton chakra flowing through my feet, sending some chakra into the ground, manipulating it once again..... the earth changes into a mud river, one that even was bigger than the one i created with the tiger handseal, and one that even travels further than that one!

2)*concentrates on the doton chakra* *performs boar and ox hand seal* I placed my hands on the ground, sending chakra into it, manipulating it beneath the clone, the doton chakra structure changes and becomes manipulated, you're hearing a rumbling sound... The earth starts grumbling in a spiral form, and everything falls apart, dragging the clone alone....

3)I am concentrating very well on the doton chakra of the ground, I'm focusing the doton chakra through my whole body, and into the ground.... *merged into the ground*,by using and manipulating the chakra, i'm travelling under the ground... perfect for a surprise attack...*releases the chakra* "unmerged" witht he earth, and i'm standing on the ground again

 

[Ushiro]

The description of this one is pretty detailed so use it as a guideline and perform the jutsu.

(Doton: Doryūkatsu) - Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will first perform the required hand seals Rabbit → Boar → Rat → Horse → Tiger → Snake and then by flowing concentrated chakra from one's palms into the Dragon Veins flowing underground, one can tear the earth apart, creating large chasms by firstly raising the earth in the desired location and then splitting that peice 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 apart directly to cause opponents to fall in the fissure.

Next perform the Snake handseal and slam your palm on the ground while inserting your doton chakra into the earth in front of you. This should cause the ground to break up and toss rock, dirt, dust, etc into the air. It doesn't have much use offensively but is mostly for distraction.

(Doton: Tsuchi Douyou no Hira) – Earth Release: Earth Shaking Palm
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
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.

For this one perform the Snake handseal and the seal of confrontation. (holding up two fingers with one hand) Then channel earth chakra around your arm and create rock encasing your arm before punching my clone with it.

*creates a clone*

(Doton: Kengan no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Fist Rock Technique

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.

 

[Khallil]

1)I am concentrating very good on the doton chakra, performing Rabbit → Boar → Rat → Horse → Tiger → Snake hand seals, the chakra becomes very concentrated, I'm focussing on it, channelling it through my handpalms, releasing it into the ground, still manipulating the chakra under the earth, about 7 meters ahead of me, I am manipulating it changing the chakra structure, and slowly 2 large earth chasm are rising out of the earth, 7 meters ahead of me, it's isn't curved, but they are skew, a corner of 30 degrees between them, they are both 5 meters in the width, 6 meters in the length and in the height 4 meters..

2)*concentrates on doton chakra* I'm channelling it into my hand palms, focussing on it, *performs snake handseal, slams hand on the ground while releasing the chakra and manipulates the doton chakra* a lot of little rocks and dusts are tossed into the air out of the ground

3)I am focussing on the doton chakra, channeling it all into my right arm and molding it up there, *performs snake hand seal* the chakra becomes concentrated in my right arm, I'm holding up 2 fingers, controlling and manipulating the chakra around my right arm, I created a rock encasing my arm, I ran, jumped , and hit your clone with my arm and *poof*

 

[Ushiro]

You did the first one wrong. Try it again but this time raise a single section of earth and split it in two.

 

[Khallil]

1)I am concentrating very good on the doton chakra, performing Rabbit → Boar → Rat → Horse → Tiger → Snake hand seals, the chakra becomes very concentrated, I'm focussing on it, channelling it through my handpalms, releasing it into the ground, still manipulating the chakra under the earth, about 7 meters ahead of me, I am manipulating it changing the chakra structure, and slowly a large earth chasm was rising out of the earth, 7 meters ahead of me, I split the large in half and manipulated the doton chakra so they would "curve" away from each other, the 2 chasms are skew, with a corner of 30 degrees between them, they are both 5 meters in the width, 6 meters in the length and in the height 4 meters..

(so it was first one big chasm and i split it into 2)

 

[Ushiro]

That's it. This one allows you to create an underground tunnel. First, perform the Ram, Dog, Rat, Bird handseals before sending earth chakra along the path you want to create. Then hollow out the earth, forming a large tunnel. Remember that the tunnel cannot be made through rock or other materials with high density.

(Doton: Ton'neru chika no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Tunneling Technique

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.

Next, simply raise two walls of earth from the ground with your target between them. It is meant limit the target's mobility.

For this one send your doton chakra through the surface of the ground, transforming it into fine sand and dust. Then, with a wave of your hand, manipulate the dust to rise up as a small wall before launching it at your target. This jutsu could possibly blind your opponent and knock him back if he is hit by the dust wall. Fend off these clones with it.

*creates three clones who rush towards you with kunais in their hands*

(Doton: Hokoriheki no Jutsu ) - Earth Release: Dust Wall Technique

[Khallil]

1) I focus on the doton chakra, perform the Ram → Dog → Rat → Bird handseals, and the doton chakra becomes concentrated.. I manipulate the doton chakra, and a wide tunnel appeared in the ground

2)I am concentrating and focussing on the doton chakra.. *performs snak handseal* I manipulate the doton chakra around you, and 2 walls were rising out of the ground.. you were trapped between the 2 walls...
question: Can I combine this jutsu with (Doton: Iwa Yado Kuzushi) - Earth Release: Stone Lodging Destruction???

3)I concentrated on the doton chakra.. released it into the ground, manipulating the doton chakra structure.. the earth changed into dust and sand.. I wove my hand, manipulating the doton chakra, and a wall of dust and sand particles rose up... I was controlling it, and I launched it at your clones, who were running at me with a kunai... they were knocked over and *poof*

 

[Ushiro]

*literally nothing happens when you try to create the tunnel*

Try that first jutsu again and this time concentrate on how you will create the tunnel. The other two were fine.

 

[Khallil]

I focussed on my doton chakra very good...I performed the Ram → Dog → Rat → Bird hand seals, and the doton chakra became concentrated.. while I was concentrating on the doton chakra, I released it into the ground.. and I started to manipulate the doton chakra structure.. by the doton (chakra structure) shape manipulation I carved the earth out into a corridor and I made it longer to travel wide distances
xd

 

[Ushiro]

Great. This set has it's very own video. xD For this one send doton chakra into the ground and raise a large rock out of it which you will lift over you using chakra and slam down on a nearby target. Find a dummy to smash. In the video: 0:37

[Ushiro]

Well done. For convenience i'll have you do just this last c-rank before moving one. Now gather doton chakra into your foot and stomp the ground, releasing it into the ground beneath your target. Then manipulate the ground, causing cracks to open up and several rocks to jut upwards from them, knocking the target into the air. Don't confuse these rocks with spikes, since there is no sharpness to them. Try it on a dummy.

I released the doton chakra into the ground and manipulated the doton chakra structure of the ground.. i caused some small fractures ripping through thr ground..somme fragments of earth and rocks were forced to rise From the ground, i was aiming at that dummy, 4 meters away from me. And the rocks dealt a lot of damage to the dummy, the dummy was even forcd into the air!

 

[Ushiro]

Ok, now create a clone of yourself made of stone spit from your mouth. Of course, it should be indistinguishable from your actual self and be able to move around and fight for you. When damaged it wouldn't disappear like other clones but crumble instead, reverting back to stone. If you want, you could make one that looks like me or someone else, just without their abilities.

(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. 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.

Next, insert your doton chakra into the ground nearby and raise up the earth to form a defensive shield. It can made in various shapes depending on the situation such as a dome or barricade with an opening to see through. Make something to protect against my attack.

*detonates a few exploding tags near you when you are ready*

(Doton: Iwa no Hogo) - Earth Release: Earth Shelter Technique

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.

Now send your doton chakra into the earth around you. Then raise and shape it in the form of a half-face dome for defense. Protect yourself from my attack

*shoots an intense stream of fire at you when you're ready*

I am concentrating very good on the doton chakra... I released the doton chakra I gathered and channeled the doton chakra into the ground.. I manipulated the doton chakra structure inside the ground, I caused some earth to rise out of the ground, controlled and manipulated by me.. I used shape manipulation and the earth became a half cilinder, half surrounding me.. the explosive tags hit the earth and exploded... I was protected by the earth shelter

I manipulated the doton chakra structure inside the ground, I was controlling the earth inside the ground and I caused some earth to rise out of the earth, which was manipulated by me, in the form of a half-face dome, which was protecting me against the fire you shot at me!

 

[Ushiro]

Well done, especially the first one. xD The next move is a stronger version of the mudshot jutsu you learned before. To perform this version you just fire numerous smaller mudshots from your mouth instead of one. This allows you to target multiple people at a further distance. Try it on these clones.

*creates 3 clones who try to run from you*

[Khallil]

I am focussing really good on the earth chakra, the structure, how it is when it's massive, how it is when it's mud

I gather the doton chakra and start to mold my earth chakra in my mouth, when i'm molding it, i am concentrating very good on it, manipulate the earth chakra in my mouth, and try to give it a chakra structure of mud, when I think that the earth chakra is molded correctly in my mouth, I releases the doton chakra out of my mouth as mud.. the numerous small mudshots were spit and shot out of my mouth in a wide area.... several mudshots hit the clones.. sticking on the clones and harming them

---

I focussed on the doton chakra benath me, performed Rat → Snake → Tiger handseals, and I started to manipulate the concentrated doton chakra beneath me.... I caused a wave of earth rising out of the ground, carrying me.. I was still manipulating the doton chakra and could control the wave of earth... I caused the wave of earth moving and attacked your clone with the wave

---

It seemed that one of the clones I spat the mudshot on survived..
I quickly gathered doton chakra, focussed on it and performed the snake hand seal.. I manipulated the concentrated doton chakra out of the wave I created before... A large earth needle was created of the earth wave... and it was shot at the clone and pierced through him.. Yes I did it !

---

no, my ninjutsu is E-rank XD

 

[Ushiro]

Ok, this one is a bit different than the other jutsu you've learned. You will need to take out a scroll and channel earth chakra into it which remains dormant. Then place it somewhere, setting up the trap, and once an opponent's chakra comes withing short range of the scroll the trap should activate and create up to 3 mud wolves that attack the opponent. When damaged, the wolves should be able to reform. Keep in mind that the trap will take some time to set up. Set up the trap and i'll have a clone walk near it.

*creates a clone who walks toward the trap once it is completed*

(Doton: Doro Ookami) - Earth Release: Mud Wolves
Rank: B
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20 (+10 per reformed wolf)
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

Next, channel earth chakra across the surface of your body and encase your self in rock which will act as armor and make your taijutsu more damaging. You can also use the armor to change your appearance and manipulate it to form blunt weapons. Some drawbacks to this technique are that the armor weighs you down, making you slower, and it is vulnerable to lightning techniques. Create the armor and endure my attacks.

*tosses a barrage of kunai at you with a few having exploding tags attached that detonate near you*

Chakra cost: 20 (-15 per turn to remain active)
Damage points: N/A (+10 to taijutsu moves)
Description: This Technique coats the users body with stones, making them much more resistant to attacks, at the cost of their speed. Whilst using this technique, the user can even change their appearance, but once the technique is either defeated or worn off the users original appearance is shown. The user whilst in this armor is resistant to A rank normal ninjutsu but is vulnerable to Lightning Techniques.

Here is another jutsu i find unique amongst the others. You will have to strike the ground with your hands while sending doton chakra into the ground beneath your target to raise the earth in the form of a dome around him. Then you can place your hands on the side and drain the chakra of those inside while also channeling chakra throughout the dome. This would let you to repair any damage the dome takes. Try it on these clones who will try to escape the dome.

*creates 2 clones nearby who shoot fire at the sides of the dome once it's created*

(Doton Kekkai: Dorō Dōmu) - Earth Style Barrier: Earth Prison of Magnificent Nothingness
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20 (+10 chakra each turn the opponent is inside the dome)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After striking the ground with their hands, the user overturns the earth, causing it to rise up around his opponent(s). Then, by placing his/her hands against the dome, the user is able to drain out the chakra from the people trapped inside and absorb it into their own body. At the same time, the user will use their own chakra to spread throughout the dome. This allows the user to repair any damage their opponent(s) manage to inflict on the inside.
