Pros: Allows you to surprise your opponent by using this technique in different ways. For example, if you are dealing with an inexperienced opponent then while standing in front of him/her, you could use this attack to strike behind your opponent while your opponent is waiting for whatever jutsu they believe you are about to use to strike from the front. Also using this technique in rapid succession, you can corner your opponent into a place where you would be more experienced. Say you have an opponent gaining the upper hand on ground combat. You could easily use this jutsu to force your opponent into the air and using this to your advantage, quickly attack an unsuspecting opponent with an air assault since while in the air, movement is limited compared to what it is on the ground. Also if your opponent creates a wall in order to block your attack, then the spikes can easily move through the wall to finish off your opponent.
Cons: This technique would be fairly easy to dodge. Using a simple jutsu to move out of the way would suffice in dodging this attack. Which will then leave you open to a counter attack.
Channeling my doton chakra to seep down into the earth, I begin to focus on making certain points of the earth rise with the help of my chakra. Opening my eyes I suddenly force my chakra to shoot upward causing the earth to follow. I allow this to continue until three medium sized spikes are protruding from the ground.
