Earth release or Doton, is one of the primary elements available in the canon to some and within this RP to almost all. Being one of the primary elements it has unique strengths and weaknesses among it's fellow elements. Being weak to lightning as the vibrations caused by lightning jutsu and the fact that most earth contains conductive minerals will cause the earth to be destroyed by lightning with relative ease. On the flip side of the elemental scale, earth is strong against water, due to it's porous and absorbent nature it can withstand most water jutsu, the superior structure of earth allows it to weather the force behind most water jutsu additionally.No prob. Now, tell me what you know about the mighty Earth release?
Orochimaru catches the piece of rock that his sensei throws to him, listening to his explanation of the technique. Gauging an understanding of what type of chakra control and manipulation would be required to use this jutsu, Orochimaru is interested to attempt it, and it seems his desire was about to become reality though not under the conditions he would have chosen ideally. Watching as his sempai leaps in to the air forming what appeared to be a sword made of the suiton element, under any normal circumstances Orochimaru would have been very impressed that his sempai was capable of making a solid blade from a liquid element, that would require very fine chakra control usually. But in this situation Orochimaru had to act fast and defend himself. Spreading both his legs slightly apart, Orochimaru would center his gravity moving his right leg to the rear and keeping his left leg forwards, the toes of his left foot pointing straight and his right leg turned to the side to promote great balance. While doing so Orochimaru is focusing and building the chakra inside his body before expelling it through his hand taking control of the rock he holds using his chakra control to will the rock to be shaped and altered to serve his purpose, by manipulating the rock Orochimaru would create something akin to a simple spearhead on a meter long shaft, the head of the spear was angled in the same way that an arrow was. In the sense that it could pierce the body easily but removing it the same way it entered was nigh on impossible. The spear would form just in the nick of time as his sensei was falling upon him with a powerful two handed strike, however striking from the air would most likely make deflecting the strike easier, provided his sempai could not run on the air it would mean he had no center of gravity, with this in mind Orochimaru would raise the spear above his head with both hands in a slightly diagonal fashion angled to his left and his sempai's right, upon catching the strike on the spear shaft, Orochimaru would pull his left hand backwards whilst pushing his right forwards, the action of this motion would deflect the blade along the length of the spear and possibly knock his sempai off balance, at which point Orochimaru would take a full step backwards using the length and range of the spear to his advantage pointing at his sempai's chest, awaiting his response.Excellent work, here take this..
*tosses a chunk of rock to you to catch*
This next jutsu is very under used imo, using your doton chakra that you just learned to mold, use shape manipulation to turn it into a staff that can be used for melee attacks, or tossed at someone like a javelin with pretty decent accuracy. A variation lets you create several staffs and chuck them, but with less accuracy. However, you'll be using the first version for THIS! Defend yourself or suffer the consequences!..
*Jumps straight into the air, a sword of water appearing forming in my hands that I bring straight downwards in a 2 handed strike..*

(Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Hiding like a mole technique
As you can see, a few ups and a few downs. Sure, hiding under the ground is all fun and games till your opponent makes a swamp lol So to avoid meta gaming its best to make sure you are not seen entering the ground. Nice that C rank earth can be used while under there allowing you to plan your sneak attack even better.Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user changes earth into fine sand by channeling chakra into it, allowing the user to dig through it like a mole. While underground one can sense what is happening on the surface and use the information to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. Once can also hide deep in the ground, escaping to a depth where the enemy cant reach. It also appears that after digging, the ground can be returned to its original state, leaving no trace of where the user entered the earth. While inside the earth, the user cannot make handseals and can only use Earth techniques below C-Rank. If he tries to do a higher ranked technique, he'll disrupt the Hiding like a mole technique and be left crushed.
(Doton: Ganchūsō) - Earth Release: Stone Spikes

The rock pillars will even pass through obstacles to reach their target if these are less dense. The pillars/spikes can be done in any earthen surface, including other earth techniques of the user.
OK, break these down for me please
That does seem like a better option than the repetition. Okay so the first jutsu world shaking. By channeling chakra from my body in to the earth, I would cause the earth to begin to shake and tremble knocking anyone around me off balance and possibly knocking them over completely. From the looks of it the jutsu would be very helpful if someone was directing a small beam like attack towards you, you could use the earth shaking to knock their aim off. Additionally if someone was charging towards you it might prove helpful the faster one would be moving the more off balance they would become during this technique, meaning it would probably make them fall over halting their momentum.OK, going forwards I will hold off on the explaining the jutsu to you part. Seems redundant to explain it just to have someone repeat basically exactly what I said anyways lol. I will post the jutsu, you break it down to me. Tell me about it, how it's good or bad or what you'd use it for, like a combo you have in mind or whatnot. I just need to know you truly understand how the jutsu works. I will add my 2 cents and also answer any questions you have about the jutsu. M'kay? Alright, moving forward..

(Doton: Iwa Yado Kuzushi) - Earth Release: Stone Lodging Destruction
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A (up to 60)
Descripton: The user will do one hand seal and cause nearby earth structures (either natural occurring ones on the field (such as cave ceilings, cliffs, etc), man made (buildings, etc) or jutsu made (up to C-Rank active structures)) to collapse and fall. This technique allows the ninja to control nearby stone and rock and dislodge any vulnerable or sensitive spots, causing the structure to collapse. This can be especially useful if in a cave or a stone lodging. The technique can loosen the rocks and cause them to come raining down on whomever is trapped inside. The damage depends on the size of the cavern or rock lodging above or nearby the target and not on the amount of chakra used which doesn't need to be high. A large cave with a thick ceiling can easily do the physical damage equivalent to an A-Rank technique but due to the damage not being focused or chakra fueled, its also easily defendable.
The first, that jutsu belongs to the third hokage I believe. It can be used directly from another source of mud, such as the swamp of the underworld but is usually formed from the earth flow river technique, if used with a fire technique it can create a fire earth combo that is for all intents and purposes lava, making this a very useful technique overall.Excellent work, keep it up just like that. Moving on..

Pretty much I agree with all you said. The 3rd I like for obvious reasons lol. Moving on.The first one seemed like it could be great until I read it does no damage and that note at the bottom says it can't be used to make people fall in to the fissure. Now I'm failing to see any use for that in battle. So I don't have much to say about it lol.
Second one seems like a more advanced version of the last earth shaking one though it seems harder to initiate too. It could be useful for knocking someone over or destroying low ranked earthen defenses, perhaps it could also be useful against those using taijutsu or weapon based techniques that rely on stable footing and even ground.
Third one is pretty basic, surround your fist in stone and punch someone. Good for enhancing taijutsu or punching through solid defenses or perhaps even blocking certain water based jutsu if used quickly enough. Overall these three are pretty simple not a great deal of special stuff I can see.
