Kerrah passes on his Mastery of Doton

[Drizzy]

The first B Rank Earth Technique deals with creating a clone made out of rock. There are different variations of clones, there are the Shadow clones (illusions), Regular clones (Ninjutsu), Water Clones, Lightning Clones etc. etc. What separates this clone from the rest of them is that it has a property of rock, if destroyed or dismissed, instead of puffing away, it crumbles.

(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.

To create this clone of rock, gather your Earth chakra then channel it through your chakra network and to your mouth. Mold and manipulate the chakra, upon releasing it through your mouth as a stream of rock, manipulate this rock to create four clones. With this technique, the clone doesn't have to have your actual appearance, you may manipulate it to have the appearance of others, but it definitely doesn't have their abilities.

*I begin channeling my doton chakra around my body, where i then move the built chakra up to my mouth to begin creating a stream of rock which exits my body, splitting into four sub-sections of rock which begin constructing themselves into rock clones which resemble Drizzeh in appearance xd. However the effect is purely cosmetic and possess no other use other than of mimicking appearances.*

Good, Good. Since they are tangible clones, they are able to perform techniques. However, in my research I was unable to find out to what extent. I'm sure it can perform up to B Rank Earth jutsu though since the B Rank Lightning Shadow Clone can perform up to B rank techniques of it's element. The C Rank Water Clone can perform up to C Rank water techniques.

 

[Negative Knight]

I'll be sure to bare that info in mind, but to be on the safe side i might use C-Rank and below techniques with the clone to avoid unnecessary arguments. Even then, i have a tangible clone CJ, so this jutsu will most likely be used for decoys of other people rather than combat situations.

The next jutsu is a perfect defensive technique against some techniques. It can be used to provide a 360 degree defense. Take at look at the pictures, it may be used in various ways. It can be used to create a small, but strong shelter in front of you, or a full defense. You can also create an opening in it which allows you to see outside to know what's going on.

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

Spoiler

Rank: B
Type: Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user surrounds themselves with earth, taken from the immediate vicinity, in order to fabricate a formation of rock that is capable of protecting both the user and others in close proximity, if desired. 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.

Gather your Earth chakra, as we've been doing before. Channel the gathered chakra through your chakra netowrk and into the earth below. You can do that by channeling it through your palm when in contact with your ground, or through your leg. Once the chakra is in the Earth, use it to manipulate the Earth, alter the Earth to make an extension. Create a dome of earth which surrounds you. Once the dome is created, create a rectangular opening (window) which you can see through.

 

[Negative Knight]

*Collecting my doton chakra as i've done in previous jutsu, i channel the chakra into the ground beneath me by placing my palms on the ground beneath me. I then manipulate the nearby earth and collect it into a dome which is capable of completely encasing myself within it. After fabricating the complete dome, i create a small opening on eye level, to see through and observe outside the dome, so not to restrict my own sight.*

How quickly can this jutsu create half a dome face ? I was looking at the multiple mud shot technique and was wondering if this jutsu could be used to protect against it.

 

[Drizzy]

It's fast enough to block Multiple Mud Shot Jutsu, it can be created in just a couple seconds as seen in the anime. Kitsuchi created it fast enough to block the Gedo Mazou's Lightning Jutsu. Any other questions?

 

[Negative Knight]

No further questions

 

[Drizzy]

This Jutsu creates an Earth dome to protect the user, and comrades in close proximity from external attacks. It's another defensive jutsu which has the same purpose and similar appearance to the jutsu you've just learned, Earth Release: Earth Shelter Technique. It's also similar to Summoning: Iron Protection Wall (

Gather your Earth chakra, as we've been doing before. Channel the gathered chakra through your chakra netowrk and into the earth below. You can do that by channeling it through your palm when in contact with your ground, or through your leg. Once the chakra is in the Earth, use it to manipulate the Earth, alter the Earth to create an Earth Dome.

 

[Negative Knight]

*Administering the same process as before, I channel the chakra into the ground beneath me by placing my palms on the ground beneath me. I then manipulate the nearby earth to loosen its quality so it can be furthered manipulated to form a defense similar to the jutsu i previously performed, with the difference this time being, that i form half of a dome face rather than a complete dome.*

 

[Drizzy]

Well done. So let's say I'm your opponent and I use this jutsu, how would you hit me? how would you destroy the dome? Keep in mind the disadvantages of the jutsu, make them your advantages against me.

 

[Negative Knight]

Other than the obvious answer of a Raiton projectile, i would probably use underground offensives e.g. Destructive Rising Rock pillars to both hit you from an unexpected angle and exploit the fact you can't see past the dome when its protecting you.

 

[Drizzy]

Indeed, I would go with using Earth Release: Stone Spikes as well. This next jutsu is the improved version of Earth Release: Mudshot Technique. Like the original, it deals with releasing several mud projectiles at the target/opponent, however, this jutsu has a large range and scale, along with greater power. A major advantage is that you can fire at multiple targets.

Apparently, this jutsu can be used in different ways. Since it's derived from Mudshot Technique, it seems it can be released form the mouth. However, the way I know is that it is released from existing mud. So gather your chakra then channel it through your chakra network and into a mud source. Manipulate the mud, by evenly distributing your chakra, fire a barrage of mud projectiles. Keep the scale of this jutsu in mind, it can go up to Long Range.

 

[Negative Knight]

*I walk over to a puddle of mud, and begin channeling my Doton chakra into it, manipulating the source similar to how Suiton is used. After establishing control over the mud source, i distribute my chakra evenly to create multiple identical shots of mud, which is propel far into the distance, testing the maximum scope of the Jutsu's range.*

In fights it seems more useful to create this jutsu from your mouth, considering a mud source won't always exist naturally on the terrain.

 

[Drizzy]

Well done. For this jutsu tell me two advantages, and how you would defend from it.

 

[Negative Knight]

The first advantage provided by this jutsu is, that its range is short to long, rather than a stated range, making it versatile in its use as it can be used against close range fighters and to an extent, flying summonings without leaving the scope of the jutsu itself.

The second advantage would be that its essentially a mud based attack and not a Doton one. How exactly would a Raiton projectile have the elemental advantage over mud ? It can't cut through something in liquid/semi solid state as they would pass straight through eachother, much like the interaction between Fire and Lightning. Though i'll bare in mind to respect elemental advantage when using this jutsu.

I would defend against this jutsu by probably using a larger mud attack. Suiton would of been ideal but its at a elemental disadvantage, so an A-Rank mud wave should do the trick for countering this jutsu. Simply going underground or using Hiding in Water Technique could be other methods to counter it.

 

[Drizzy]

Earth Mud Wolves isn't a regular offensive jutsu, it's a trap which means to use it in a battle it would be extremely difficult unless you've made early preparations. With the use of a scroll, the user may create up to three mud wolves to attack the enemy. A great advantage of this jutsu is that if the wolves are damaged, they can repair themselves immediately to continue assault.

(Doton: Doro Ookami) - Earth Release: Mud Wolves

Spoiler

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

Take out your scroll and hold it in the palm of your hand. Gather your chakra then channel it through your chakra network, to your palm, and into the scroll. Once enough chakra is added to the scroll, place it somewhere then wait for someone to arrive. [Creates clone] This scroll creates a field of chakra around it, once the opponent's chakra gets in range, the scroll will activate, releasing up to three mud wolves. Try it out.

 

[Negative Knight]

*I remove a scroll from my pocket and begin circulating my doton chakra around my body and the scroll in a cycle. After establishing a good level of chakra flow, i place it in an area where someone would be likely to move into. As i watch Drizzeh's clone walk around, he gets in range of the scroll as his chakra signature is picked up and three wolves composed of mud are created which dash towards your clone. I throw Kunai at the wolves, noticing Drizzeh was right when claiming they reform against physical attacks.*

 

[Drizzy]

Alright, so that jutsu takes a turn to actually set up. What that means, if you actually set the scroll in turn #1, it won't actually be activated/ready until turn #2. When using jutsu like this one, it would only be effective if the scroll is hidden, unless your opponent is an idiot to see a strange scroll and go straight to it. So if the terrain is of tall grass, you can hide it on the ground, if it's a forest, hide it in bushes.Much opportunities aren't open for it to be used in the Battle Arena, but it's a good jutsu to be used in the Ninja World. Even if the scroll is hidden though, there are ways to detect it. If you're a sensor, you can detect that there is chakra nearby and avoid that area, doujutsu such as the Byakugan and the sharingan can locate the scroll as well.

 

[Negative Knight]

Sometimes i really hate Doijutsu, they come in handy in a hell of a lot of situations xd.

I'll bare that in mind for when using this jutsu, but i tend to avoid Jutsu which require prep time but i see it coming in handy.
