Ninjutsu: It means Ninja technique. It refers to almost any technique a Ninja uses. To use Ninjutsu it requires the use of chakra and handseals.
Chakra: It is the base for every Ninjutsu. It is made by molding the spiritual and physical energies. It can be channeled to any of the 361 chakra points.
Earth: Is one of the basic five elements. It is used to manipulate earth to use for defensive and offensive purposes. It can shape already existing earth.
Earth weakness is lightning because it breaks it apart.
Earth is strong against water because it absorbs the water.
Fire, Water, Lightning, Wind
Sorry was trying to not copy and paste that's why its short.
A bit short, though you've hit the points that it is required. Moving on!
What are some combination's that you can use with Doton?
Specifically what element combined with another element?
Give me a scenerio.
Sorry was trying to not copy and paste that's why its short.
Doton can be performed with water to create mud.
It can be combined with fire to melt the earth and turn it into lava.
Nope sempai.
Alright, though you forgot to add a scenerio on when/how to use it.
Moving on!
Remember Earth is a versitile element that can be used in many ways, try to think about more than jutsu the obvious ways to use it. Remember, in most battles you have have alot of earth around you (unless you fight on water)
You must be touching earth to use an earth jutsu, unless it has been seen used otherwise. Eg. you can use swamp of the underworld in the air as jiraiya used it on gamabunta's head.
Any questions?
*I sit down onto the ground. I then start to meditate. I concentrate on the earth beneath me. I feel the power that earth can have. I then feel how light and heavy earth can be.
Sit down and meditate with the earth that you are standing on.
Describe everything that you feel and the properties of earth. Basically be one with the earth that you are sitting on.
Concentrate while your doing that on your chakra and try to apply it to the earth. Through shape manipulation, try and create a small pillar to errupt from the ground! Keep a good control of it. Make sure you don't go too wild with it!
Now try ^^
*I sit down onto the ground. I then start to meditate. I concentrate on the earth beneath me. I feel the power that earth can have. I then feel how light and heavy earth can be.
I then focus my chakra into the earth. I then picture in my mind a pillar of earth. When i do i shape a small pillar under ground. I then erupt a small pillar of earth about two foot high.*
*As i calm my breathing back down. I focus on a spot two feet in front of me. I then channel my earth chakra into that spot. I then concentrate on that spot. I then shape a pillar whice i raise out of the ground that stands two feet tall.*
*Nothing happens*
It seems you didn't use enough chakra, nor did you mold it correctly. Concentrate on a specific place you want the pillar to errupt. Then apply chakra that you have molded into the area that you are concentrating on. Then use shape manipulation to make it a pillar that you desire.
Again!
*As i calm my breathing back down. I focus on a spot two feet in front of me. I then channel my earth chakra into that spot. I then concentrate on that spot. I then shape a pillar whice i raise out of the ground that stands two feet tall.*
*As i take the rock i channel earth chakra into it. I then picture a staff. As i do i mold my chakra inside the rock so that the rock starts to become long and cylindrical in shape. I then smack the staff on the ground.*
Good!
this is what you have done!
(Doton No Jutsu) - Earth Release Technique
Rank: D
Type: Attack/Defence
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Descripton: Creates small pillars of earth, small tools, and small shields of earth
Now remember, you can create such things as shields and tools as well. Not just pillars. When I say tools you can create a earth type kunai. However remember that you can not create something large with it, as this only takes minimal amount of chakra to form. If you wanted to create something large you would need more chakra and this jutsu wouldn't be it.
Also as I mentioned before, Earth/Doton is versatile element. With this jutsu alone, you can dodge jutsu to a certain degree.
For example, if someone had shot a fireball at you, you can create a such a pillar to errupt from the ground at an angle to push you to the side, completly avoiding the fireball. Also when you do that you can immediatly prepare for a counter. This takes minimal amount of chakra which is an excellent way to defend/dodge certain thigs.
As a weakness, keep in mind you can not launch yourself 1 range. So if for example a large scale attack is coming your way that is very wide, this wouldn't save you. You always have to keep in mind the size of the jutsu that you are avoiding. Also ofcouse this is weak to lightning as it's an earth jutsu, but since it's quick and easy, it shouldn't be much of a concern.
Now moving on!
Here's a rock
*Hands you a rock*
Same method, mold your doton chakra and then concentrate on the rock. Apply your chakra into the rock and turn it into a staff. Once you have done that swing it around to see if it's sturdy enough.
*As i take the rock i channel earth chakra into it. I then picture a staff. As i do i mold my chakra inside the rock so that the rock starts to become long and cylindrical in shape. I then smack the staff on the ground.*
