(Doton no Yoroi) - Earth Release Armor
Perform the technique:
Looking at the teacher throwing out three kunai towards me, I immediately gather my doton chakra from my body and makes it go outwards onto my skin making the earth to appear on my skin. With the chakra infused earth on my skin, I use shape manipulation to change it's form into a armor thick enough to withstand some basic taijutsu moves. Making sure that the eyes, mouth, ears and the nose are left alone, I wait for the kunais to hit me. When they hit me, they just held down due to the power of the earth armor.
Advantages:
- Capable of blocking upto B-Rank Ninjutsu
- Can block basic Taijutsu
- Adds +10 to all Taijutsu attacks
Disadvantages:
- The speed decreases
- The armor is entirely vulnerable to Lightning techniques
- The chakra is decreased by 15 every turn active

Descripton: The user, after performing the Snake hand seal, emits lightning in the shape of a spear from their hands or mouth which then pierces the enemy. Kakuzu, the original user, shoots the technique from his Lightning mask's mouth. Its destructive power is great enough to even pierce through rock; meaning it has a high killing potential. The user can increase the number of spears to attack multiple enemies by branching the main spear. This, coupled with the sheer speed of the lightning, makes it a difficult technique to evade. This strong attack can be defended against by an equally strong attack of the same element such as Raikiri.
The above jutsu can be used to break through the armor and as well as kill the opponent due to the extreme killing power of the spears. Also the power of the spears can aimed at different locations causing tremendous damage.
Speed of use:
As you just said, this armor covers almost entire body in a flash. It helps with quick defense at the cost of speed.
