It is a small, circular shield made of earth that is wielded to the protect user. It is capable of blocking projectiles or against blows. Deploying the long tongue aspect offensively, the user can manipulate the tongue form to stretch into a sharp, pointed edge and extend it like a tendril up to 5 meters towards the target, striking or piercing them.

Note: An Akashita (赤舌, lit. "red tongue") is a yōkai (spirit) that appeared in Toriyama Sekien's Gazu Hyakki Yakō. It is drawn as a beast with clawed hands and a hairy face, with most of its body hidden in a black cloud over a floodgate. In its open mouth is a large tongue. [Wiki]
Basically, manipulating the earth nature on your arm, a thick shield is created out of earth, which is used as a portable weapon for defense and attack against ones opponent.
Osmon asked this question and to clear any confusion: How do you attack with it?
Well, its up to your imagination.... You have a multipurpose weapon that combines a shield and spear.
Example The enemy could attack you within short range with a low-rank elemental attack. You could defend and attack simultaneously: guarding yourself with the shield, and at the same time, releasing the tongue to impale them. Or if you want to humility them when they perform a Taijutsu move, you could grab a hold of them with the claw, and inflict massive pain or torture them.
