Finishing Earth

[Gitanshu]

One question for the combination strategy.

Exactly which jutsu will you use?

- If you nagashi to break through won't your opponent know it and prepare a attack before hand and will release it as soon as you come out of debris and will be taken by surprise, more or less defend less.

-Answer the above two things in post.

(Doton: Nentsuchi Otoshi) –Earth Release: Sticky Earth Drop
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user creates an opening within the sky, which drips down onto the opponent a large amount of mud, covering them. It’s normally followed up by Lightning release: sixteen pillar bind to create a giant oven around the opponent and then using Fire release: Firing biscuit technique to ignite the oven, hardening the mud and immobilizing the enemy target.

It was a technique which was used by an anbu guy to stop, pein's Dog summoning, now to initiate it you simply stomp the ground with your hand and open a portal in the sky and thick and dense mud starts to pour down, of course the portal is quite big as it was able to cover the entire Dog, you can just like anime use it in a combo if in a tag team battle.

 

[Vex]

(Raiton: Ikazuchi Hakai) – Lightning Release: Lightning Destruction is the jutsu I meant.

I don't think the opponent would see it because of the giant rocks in the way, and the fact that the jutsu travels through the ground.

---

- I concentrate doton chakra into the sky above your clone. I mould the chakra, and a portal opens up directly above him. I use shape transformation to make the doton chakra into a muddy substance. I then cause it to drip from the portal directly onto your clone. This leaves your clone unable to move.-

Strong points

• Immobilizes the enemy
• comes from above so the opponent may not see it
• Can be used in a combo with 16 pillar bind and firing biscuit if in a team battle.

Weak points

• Mud drips slowly
• comes from above so you can see it's shadow
• combo can only really be used in a team battle

Combinations-strategies

I would use this as part of that combo on the jutsu. It would be difficult to escape the combo in a team battle. I could also use this at the start of a battle to bind my opponent right after using a genjutsu to distract them.

Ways to counter:

I would simply use a chidori nagashi to stop the mud and destroy any already on my body. It drips slowly, and you can probably see it's shadow above you so you would know if it's being used on you easily.

[Gitanshu]

Yeah that will be just fine, for some reason I just read chidori, but remember while using it you will be near the rocks as the technique is mid ranged not to mention so as to your technique, so as soon as you use it there is a chance that debris may fall upon you, so take care.

I don't think nagashi will work, so think of something else.

(Doton: Otoshibuta) – Earth Release: Dropping Lid
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user creates a giant, boar-shaped, earthen lid high in the air that falls on the target, trapping them underneath.


One of my most used technique, it is due to the fact that as it is big it effects multiple enemy and it fairly easy to use[stomp the ground], one of the few solid form earth techniques which can be used from a different angle/ place, My best combination was with stormy blockable, now I will leave it to you to deduce it.

 

[Vex]

I guess I could use HLAM to escape it.

---

-I concnetrate my earth chakra, and I stomp the ground. This causes a giant earthern lid to materialize over your clones head. I then cause the lid to fall to the ground, and crush your clone. As it hits your clone, he immediately disperses from the impact.-

Strong points

• Extremely large
• affects multiple enemies
• comes from the sky

Weak points

• easy to see if it's above you due to it's shadow
• An opponent can time it just right and then go under ground making it seem as if they were crushed.

Combinations-strategies

It's easy to use if you stomp the ground. So I'll guess that you used stormy blockade first. The water would distract the opponent, and he wouldn't see the lid above it. So as he countered the water, the lid fell on him.

Ways to counter:

It's a big object so it casts a big shadow. Thus it would be extremely easy to spot. Now you can just use a nagashi to break it into pieces. But you still have to be careful from the debris, so it would be best to use HLAM. At the very last second so it looks as if you were crushed.

[Gitanshu]

Won't the mud fall in the hole you make

It's easy to use if you stomp the ground. So I'll guess that you used stormy blockade first. The water would distract the opponent, and he wouldn't see the lid above it. So as he countered the water, the lid fell on him.

He will see most probably see it mainly because of 2 fact.

1. the lid is really big.

2. the shadow will still be formed which will give you a rough idea of it plus water is more or less transparent, so in my opinion he can look through it.


Now it is a battle scenario time, I would like you to make a 3 move combo and at least use 2 earth techniques that you have learned so far.

 

[Vex]

-I quickly concentrate chakra, moulding a lot of it. I then form it into super hard and dense doton chakra. I concentrate this chakra, and materialize it above you. I then cause a sticky and adhesive substance to drip onto you. The mud traps you in place and prevents you from moving.-

Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user creates an opening within the sky, which drips down onto the opponent a large amount of mud, covering them. It’s normally followed up by Lightning release: sixteen pillar bind to create a giant oven around the opponent and then using Fire release: Firing biscuit technique to ignite the oven, hardening the mud and immobilizing the enemy target.

-While you are trapped I again mould earth chakra, but this time into the form of several spikes which materialize under your clones feet. They puncture through his foot all the way to his knees putting him in a lot of pain. Also, it makes it impossible to move.-

(Doton: Ganchūsō) - Earth Release: Stone Spikes
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: This technique lets the user create a few rock pillars that will protrude from the ground to skew the target. The rock pillars will even pass through obstacles to reach their target

-Once you are incapacitated, I again concentrate earth chakra. I then cause a large dome of earth to appear. It traps you inside, and feeds you my chakra. If you do not escape within a few turns, you will die from loss of blood and chakra loss. Keep in mind that you are still being bound by the sticky earth.-

(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.

 

[Gitanshu]

I actually like your move, just the last part is bit off.

Why would you go for slow kill if you already have injured him enough to finish him off?

Now before we move on any question, also how would you defend against your own move?

 

[Vex]

I could use earth style technique to create a large pillar. I would then use it to launch me away. I could then use wind stream to evade the spikes. Then I would use a nagshi towards the back part of the dome to escape.

Hmm I guess this would work in NW

 

[Gitanshu]

Counter could have been better but non the less it is valid. O-o but one thing if you evade the falling mud range don't you automatically evade the spikes range as well?

Remember to use the pillar at an certain angle as mud covers quite a lrage area also it is not the best of counter in my opinion.

(Doton: KageBunshin no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Shadow Clone Technique
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 25
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique creates a shadow clone made of mud of the user. Since its made of mud, it can continue to reform and mould itself back to its original shape. After reverting to mud, it can hold the opponent in place. The user can create upto three clones. They can also use up to C rank earth techniques.


Okay create a clone of mud, now few things which I hate about it, first you need a mud source which is not found on any normal terrain and therfor you may need to use a jutsu beforehand to create it, you can create 3 clones instead of 4 and last but not the least it can only use C rank techniques but it still has some good point's like it can reform using mud source [that will not be the case if he is severly injured/deformed] and that you can revert it back into mud to bind your opponent.

 

[Vex]

-I focus on a mud source nearby, and concentrate my chakra. I then focus on a mental picture of myself. I then cause the mud to slowly rise. I use shape transformation, to make the mud into my image. I then cause three more clones to rise out of the mud. I cause the clones to surround me and protect me from incoming jutsu.-

Strong points

• Can create 3 clones
• Clones will reform
• Will reform back to mud to bind opponent

Weak points

• Requires a mud source
• Can only create 3 clones
• Can only use up to C rank earth

Combinations-strategies

I would use swamp of the underworld to bind my opponent. Then I would materialize the clones in such a fashion that they surround the opponent. I would cause one of them to explode into mud and bind the opponent. Then I would have the other two beat him using taijutsu and earth style.

Ways to counter:

I would use three lightning clones to combat the mud clones, and to keep them busy.

Well the clone is created short range of you so if you want to create the clone near the opponent then you in most of the cases will need to be standing/floating on the swamp so be careful while using it.


(Doton: Musaborudzuchi) – Earth Release: Devouring Earth
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 25
Damage points: 50
Description: The user performs the Ram → Horse → Tiger → Rabbit → Snake and slams their palm on the ground. Instantly, the ground to the sides of the opponent take the shape of huge jaws and attempt to crush and stab him between them.


it was used by Hiruko, once you perform the needed hand seal you go on to stomp the ground and then you use your chakra
to manipulate the ground near your opponent and shape manipulate the sides of your opponent into big jaws which then attempt to stab and crush your opponent.

It can be best used when your opponent is free falling towards the ground.

 

[Vex]

Strong points

• Can be used to surprise the opponent when he is falling
• pretty large-scale jutsu

Weak points

• So many handseals T_T
• can be easily stopped by Nagashi
• - Insert info -

Combinations-strategies

Like you say, it would be best to use if the opponent is falling towards the ground at high speeds. It can also be used in conjunction with a genjutsu.

Ways to counter:

Honestly, I would just use a chidori nagashi to blast through the earth.

Be aware of the debris while using Nagashi.

(Doton: Tsuchi Kairō) - Earth Release: Earth Corridor
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will first perform the snake hand seal and then cause the earth in the surrounding area to rise up and over a target and create a cavern, imprisoning the target. The user can leave an opening to allow attacks to go in to strike down the trapped adversaries, or close it up completely to prevent escape.

After weaving the hand seal you go on to pass your chakra into your opponent(s) surrounding, once done you take the charge of the earth around them and make it rise upwards to create a cavern[It is like a cylinder], you can leave its top side open so as launch certain attacks on your opponent or completely enclose them by creating no such openings.

Now my input on this technique, although its sounds useful but anyone can easily nagashi its as* and the problem is you won't know it till the last moment as your and his vision are dis-connected. [in this case you may rely on your hearing sense though], although it has never been used against me but if I am caught in it I will surely go underground and by no means will my opponent have any idea about it and then if played smartly I can deliver my finishing blow.

-I make the snake handseal, and concentrate my earth chakra. I then use shape manipulation, and cause the earth in the surrounding area to rise up and over your clone. Trapping him in a cylinder like cavern of earth with only one entrance.-

Strong points

• Leaves an opening you can attack from
• requires a single handseal
• - Insert info -

Weak points

• Can be easily destroyed by nagashi
• Inhibits your sight of the opponent
• Opening is only on the top, so only certain attacks will work.

Combinations-strategies

You could use this, then send a wind jutsu inside. Since the opponent would most likely try to counter with nagashi. He would find it difficult to counter the wind as well as the corridor.

Ways to counter:

I would use, Hiding Like A Mole Jutsu to travel underground. Since the enemy cannot see me, they would not know that I escaped. So then I can use a surprise attack.

(Doton: Arijigoku no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Antlion Technique
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Mid/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user performs the Ram hand seal and causes causes the ground and everything on and around it to be sucked in towards the middle of a large pit, much like the method an antlion uses to catch prey. Upon being dragged to the centre, the victim will then be sucked underground. There the victim, depending on how deep the user makes them sink, will be trapped and/or suffocated. The range of the pit is determined by how much chakra is put into the technique.

Okay it is a really useful jutsu, The thing is simple you simply pass your chakra at a certain point and everything around that point is started to get sucked into that point thus creating a large pit, If the opponent is caught in it he will be sucked underground, there he may suffocate if he does not react properly.

Well I will let you deduce the way to deal with it.................. I will correct you if wrong.

 

[Vex]

-I concentrate my earth chakra, on a single point under your clone. I make the ram handseal. I then cause all the earth to begin to flow to that point. It creates a large pit, and your clone is dragged inside. He then disperses from lack of oxygen.-

Strong points

• Only a single handseal
• Extremely difficult to avoid
• Nagashi will only delay the jutsu

Weak points

• Takes some time to suck the opponent underground
• Cannot be used short range, you might get yourself caught.
• - Insert info -

Combinations-strategies

This jutsu is very versatile, I would use this along with genjutsu. While he deals with genjutsu, he would be being sucked into the earth. By the time he breaks the gen, it might already be late.

Ways to counter:

Hmm, well I would use a short range omnidirectional nagashi to delay the jutsu. Then I would use a hurricane fist to launch myself away to long range.

Nagashi will only delay the jutsu

Why would it only delay it?

(Doton: Doryū Jōheki) - Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart
Rank: B
Type: Defence/Supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: By performing the Tiger hand seal the user then makes a gigantic rampart rise up beneath the user's feet, by shaping the ground and increasing the amount of earth with chakra. Depending on what the user imagines, the shape of the rampart can be anything from level ground to a steep, needle-like mountain. If the user increases the volume of earth too much, he can be forced to keep his chakra consumption down. The user can combine this jutsu with Water Style: Waterfall Basin Technique to create a waterfall.


Well nothing much to explain this time around, by performing the hand seal and using your chakra you can make a rampart rise above the ground, It was used by Yamato while training naruto in wind style Rasengan, Now this technique can be used to deal with the swamp technique but only if the swamp is not to deep for you to find any solid surface beneath your feet.

 

[Vex]

because it is constantly sucking in earth.

-I make a handseal, and concentrate my earth chakra. I use shape transformation, and imagine a large rampart. After a small time, a rampart rises up underneath my feet. The rampart raises me up, and gives me a bird's eye view of what is going on.-

Strong points

• Can potentially counter the swamp of the underworld
• Can give a bird's eye view
• Can be used to create a waterfall

Weak points

• There needs to be solid ground in order to counter the swamp
• Cannot increase the volume of earth too much
• Won't work in certain environments such as at sea or in the air

Combinations-strategies

I would use this mostly as a platform to jump from, in order to avoid attacks. It could also be used to avoid the dark swamp, and can be used as a good defense.

Ways to counter:

It's not really something you can use to attack with, so I wouldn't waste my time countering it.

Nagashi will completely cancel out your opponent chakra present in the ground thus stop it.....[my opinion]

You can now stop describing the technique's

(Doton: Doryō Dango) - Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Dumping
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user With chakra work and superhuman strength, lifts up the very surface of the Earth. The lump of earth is gigantic and, the destructive power is obvious, but even just the visual impact can be enough to make enemies lose their fighting spirits and run away. The ball of earth is then hurled it at his opponent, flattening everything in its path.

Tsunade style justu u.u, you use your awesomeness [power] to lift up a good amount of earth surface and then using your arm power you throw it towards your enemy to.........basically flatten them under it and potentially kill them.
