Element Explanation
Earth is a powerful and unyielding element. When one thinks of earth they think of a strong, solid, and firm nature. In this element, much of the techniques possess those basic properties. However, there is more to earth release techniques than these simple attributes. Earth Release techniques can manipulate a range of earth related entities such as mud, sand, gravel, and metal. A fair number of earth release techniques are generated from existing earth (as will be discussed later) however there are techniques where earth is created from the user's own chakra without the necessity for an existing source of earth. Earth is a conductor for electricity, even more so than water and it is for that reason that earth is weak to lightning release. Lightning release can easily travel through earth and break apart its contents and chakra. Water, on the other hand, is weak to earth due to earth's ability to absorb water with its minerals. Though, the combination of earth and water generate wood release, likely due to wood being considered a nature of "life" and "vitality" and the two elements combined are what result in the growth of trees, plants, and fauna (which generally fall under the category of wood). The combination of fire and earth generate Lava Release due to the liquid like state of the latter resulting from solid earth that has been super heated to a liquid state by fire.

There are four methods for earth release: Chakra Created, Earth Manipulation, Advanced Conversion, Other.

Method System
Method 1: Chakra Created
Method 2: Earth Manipulation
Method 3: Advanced Conversion
Method 4: Others


Method 1: Chakra Created

This method encompasses techniques that create earth and other earthen entities/properties through one's chakra. There is no need for an existing earth source in order for the user to use these techniques. This does not explain the depth of the method as there are still a range of different properties entities that can be created with this method. Thus, there are a few sub-methods within this method: Full Body Chakra Release, Isolated-Body Chakra Release, and projectiles.

(1) Full Body Chakra Release: This sub-method refers to techniques that release earth release chakra from every chakra point in the body. Usually these are body armors or omni-directional techniques that require the entire body. One of the biggest advantages these types of techniques have comes in regard to its ability to combat genjutsu, something that will be elaborated on later.

(2) Isolated-Body Chakra Release: To put it simply, same concept as the full body only this time you're isolating the area of the body and releasing chakra in a specific area instead of every part of your body. That being said, this does not allow for genjutsu release. Techniques like these are typically enhancements for protecting sections of the body or taijutsu.

(3) Projectiles: Techniques where you create a projectile based object (an object that is launched) with a source from one part of the body and then launch it at your opponents. Generally exhaled from the mouth or from a limb.

When using any of the techniques in this method, the key is to locate the point of release in the body, just like with other techniques. In the case of full body chakra release, the point of release is the entire body.

Advantages of Method

The biggest advantages to this method are the versatility of not requiring a source of earth and the genjutsu releasing capability of the full body chakra sub-method. There are times when there is not a stable source of earth to use and that's where techniques like these come into play. As for the genjutsu combat aspect, full body chakra release falls under one of the basic categories of genjutsu release in our system. By releasing chakra from every point in the body, one can release genjutsu. For elemental chakra natures, techniques of this nature are capable of breaking genjutsu 1-rank below the rank of the technique. For example, an S-rank earth armor can break up to A-rank genjutsu. The techniques in this sub method are usually good defense to both gen and ninjutsu.

Disadvantages of Method

Full body chakra techniques are much more susceptible to lightning release techniques than others. With the techniques in this sub method usually propagating over the user's body, they essentially become even more conductive and weaker to lightning. The isolated-body chakra techniques and projectiles have use against genjutsu and their scope is usually weaker. For projectiles see method 1 for Katon and Raiton.

Regardless, it can be used as a simple CQC weapon, which can be slightly customized so as to have spikes adorn the bludgeoning end of the hammer. In addition, its durability and size allows the user to block some small-scale attacks within reason.

Note: The hammer lasts indefinitely until destroyed or cancelled by the user's will.
Note: The hammer can be repaired for an additional chakra cost, so long as it isn't totally destroyed.
Note: Courtesy of LonelyAssassin

However, the user is only able to use Earth techniques while the armor is active. The user is also able to manifest the armor in a specific part of their body, if need be.


Method 2: Earth Manipulation

This next method deals with techniques that utilize the earth pre-existing earth in the area. Unlike the last set of jutsu where one would use doton chakra from within to manifest the earth itself, these techniques involve the releasing chakra outwards into the earth for manipulation. You can essentially do the same as with the last set of techniques: create weapons, objects, etc. However this set of techniques also gives one the ability to manipulate the structure of the earth around your opponent allowing one to raise and/or lower the earth, deform the earth in ways they desire. The general process behind these techniques is channeling your doton chakra outwards into the earth. More often than not there will also be some form of shape manipulation involved.

Advantages of Method

The techniques in this method provide a range of uses that don't exist in the previous method. As a result these techniques are more versatile than those in the last method. The range of casting is also larger due to most techniques in the previous method starting usually from the user and moving outward. These techniques, however, may start from various points short to long range from the user.

Disadvantages of Method

These techniques are contingent on earth being present and one's chakra being channeled into it as such. For the most part this does not seem to be a problem since most fighting grounds have earth. Though there are cases when opponents may be fighting on water or on a solid terrain that doesn't allow for them to use the earth and that is when this disadvantage comes in. Also, for the most part, to use these techniques the user needs to be connected to the ground. There are exceptions, however, few and far in between. At the very least, based on the range of the technique the user must be within that range from the ground to use these techniques. If these conditions aren't met, virtually all of these techniques are unusable.

(Doton no Jutsu) - Earth Release Technique

Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: This technique allows the user to take a small chunk of rock and turn it into the shape of a staff.

A variation of this technique allows the user to create several staffs and launch them at the target, but with less accuracy.

A simple technique, where the user will grab a rock from the immediate vicinity, and focus their Earth chakra into the rock. This allows the user to apply shape manipulation, to form this rock into a staff of Earth which can be used as a melee weapon in close range, and also launch towards the opponent, aiming to deliver piercing damage.

Type: Offensive
Rank: C
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 15
Damage: 30
Description: This technique lets the user create a few rock pillars that will protrude from the ground to skew the target. 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.

A very useful technique, where the user will focus their Earth chakra into the ground. This allows the user to create several rock protrusions, which emerge from the ground and aim to skewer the opponent. These pillars are able to pass through less dense obstacles, in order to reach the opponent and can be performed on any Earth structures made by the user.

(Doton: Iwa Yado Kuzushi) - Earth Release: Stone Lodging Destruction
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15
Damage: 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.

After the formation of a single hand seal, the user will focus their Earth chakra into a nearby Earth structure. This can be natural occurring ones, man made ones or ones made with chakra, up to C rank. The user is then able to cause this structure to collapse and fall apart, by removing a vital rock that holds the entire structure together. This causes the structure to come tumbling down, causing a cave in, or rock slide like effect. A small amount of chakra is used, however, if its a large cave, up to A rank damage can be caused to the opponent. However, due to it not being chakra fueled, this cave in is easy to defend against.

(Doton: Ganchūrō no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Rock Pillar Prison Technique

Description: The user will first perform the required hand seals Rabbit → Boar → Rat → Horse → Tiger → Snake and slamming the hands on the ground, the user can, by flowing concentrated chakra into the Dragon Veins flowing underground, tear the earth apart, creating large chasms by raising the earth in two oposite sides in the desired location and then splitting that piece of earth through the center. The length, width, direction, and curve of the chasm are all up to the user. Manipulating the Dragon Veins requires fine chakra control, but if one has such skill, they can use this technique to divide the space between the enemy and their own team in two, destroy enemy camps or defences, and even to attack.
Note: This does not split the earth appart directly to cause opponents to fall in the fissure.

The user will form several hand seals and focus their Earth chakra as they slam their hands onto the ground. This allows the user to create large chasms by raising the Earth in two opposite sides, and splitting it through the center.

Method 3: Advanced Conversions

This method is just like the last one, however, it involves changing the structural foundation of the earth as opposed to where previously, we were just focusing our chakra into the ground to create/manifest entities or manage techniques from the base earth itself. This method could also be labeled as alternative earth release, utilizing sub-forms of earth like mud or sand. The techniques in this method involve channeling one's chakra into the earth and changing the substance to create mud, sand, gravel, etc. These techniques fall into a different category than the previous method because of the fact that it's changing the substance from pure solid earth to something chemically different all together while still being considered earth.

Advantages of Method

Simply put, this method adds another level of versatility to the earth release element. Earth techniques are not limited to being solid rock or hard entities. The techniques in this method entail manipulation of ones chakra and the earth for chemical manipulation. Primarily creating mud or softening it to sand or gravel. The general purpose for such techniques would to give more complimentary properties such as adhesion, allowing for travel underground, or to disrupt one’s balance by lowering the amount of friction as a result.

Disadvantages of Method

Same rule of thumb applies as with the last method; you’d need to be connected to the ground for these techniques as they involve changing the actual structure of the ground and is basically the same as the last method only, dealing with alternative version of earth release.

The user isn't hidden from doujutsu or sensory ninjas and cannot travel beyond the 3 meter deep mark. Moving around in the ground is slow and the user cannot sense very well what is happening above.

The user will focus their Earth chakra into the ground, allowing the user to transverse into the ground. However, this is not very fast, and the user is vulnerable to Earth techniques of a higher rank.

(Doton: Yomi Numa) - Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: The user will first perform Boar → Tiger and then by changing the surface of an object beneath an enemy into mud and creating a non flammable swamp, the user can sink his enemy into the mud. The adhesive, chakra-infused mud ensnares the enemy's body, making it almost impossible to recover one's strength and escape from the swamp. The size and depth of the created swamp depends on the user's skill and the amount of chakra used, but if the user is an expert in this technique, it will always be possible to make a fair-sized swamp which is extremely effective against a great number of enemies or when having to face gigantic creatures.

The user will form two hand seals and focus their Earth chakra into the ground, and cause it to form into a thick adhesive mud. This mud is able to cause the opponent to sink into it, and make it difficult to escape from and due to its size, its able to sink both the opponent and summoning creatures on the field as well.

(Doton: Kachiku Kanshou) - Earth Release: Bovine Intervention
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: This jutsu is based on the Earth Chakra's abilities to harden or soften any earth feature. By slamming the user's palm on the ground, or on any thrown or erupted earth structure, the user is able to harden or soften the said structure, all at once. The technique is based on the user's chakra reservations, and thus the area and volume of the feature the user wishes to change varies with it.
As described this technique has two variants:

(Buru no Ai Naguriai) Bison's Love Fist, which allows the structure struck by the right hand to harden immediately. Basically, any soft structure, such as Sand, Gravel or Mud (Created by Earth Release (Canon Element), not Mud Release (Custom Element) will turn into rock.

(Ushi no Nyuujou Kissu) Cow's Milky Kiss, which allows the structure struck by the left hand to soften immediately. Basically, any hard structure, such as Rock, Harden Mud or Earth will turn into sand.
Note: Can only be used three times per battle
Note: Courtesy of Lili-Chwan

The user will slam their hand onto the ground/on any created Earth structure, and cause it to change its structure by either hardening or softening it. With the right hand, the user is able to instantly harden a structure immediately, causing Sand, Gravel or Mud, to be formed into rock. Any structure struck with the left hand, will be softened, causing rock, hardened mud or Earth to turn into Sand. Usable only three times.

The user will focus their Earth chakra into the ground before them, and cause the very ground to shake. This allows the user to create a tremor, and cause the opponent to loose their footing, or cause them to miss the aim of their techniques, should it require precision.

(Doton: Ton'neru chika no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Tunneling Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15
Damage: N/A
Description: The user after performing the required hand seals Ram → Dog → Rat → Bird is able to create a wide tunnel in the ground, this cannot travel through rock though or anything with a high density. The large tunnel that is created allows the user to transport others without detection.
Note: The initial entry of the technique is short range.

The user will form the needed hand seals, and focus their Earth chakra into the ground before them. This allows the user to create a wide tunnel, which they can travel through quietly, when trying to escape from an opponent, or when planning something of sorts.

(Doton: Doro Ookami) - Earth Release: Mud Wolves
Type: Supplementary/Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short
Chakra: 20 (+10 per reformed wolf)
Damage: 10 (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

The user will place a scroll at a specific place on the field, imbued with the users' Earth chakra. Once the opponent makes contact with the scroll, their chakra activates the trap. From the scroll, mud emerges and forms into the shape of wolves, which aim to attack the opponent. If these wolves are damaged but not destroyed, they would reform and still keep attacking. Three wolves can be made, it takes a turn to set it up and they last a maximum of two turns.

(Doton: Nentsuchi Otoshi) – Earth Release: Sticky Earth Drop
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: The user does 2 handseals (Ram → Snake) and creates an opening within the sky, which drips down onto the opponent a large amount of sticky mud (in all similar to that of Swamp of the Underworld Technique), covering them. The mud is very heavy and thick as well as adhesive, making it impossible to move if caught and easily crushing an enemy underneath. It’s normally followed up by Lightning release: sixteen pillar bind to create a giant oven around the opponent and then using Fire release: Firing biscuit technique to ignite the oven, hardening the mud and immobilizing the enemy target.

The user will form two hand seals and focus their Earth chakra in the air and cause an opening. Through this opening, the user will unleash a large amount of sticky mud, which rains down in a large pour, which covers the opponent under thick mud which aims to drown the opponent. This technique can also be combined with other elements.

(Doton: Otoshibuta) - Earth Release: Dropping Lid
Type: Offensive
Rank: B
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: After doing the Snake handseal and slamming his hands on the ground, he user creates a portal above the target, high in the sky from which a giant, boar-shaped, earthen lid drops and falls on the target, trapping it underneath. The lid can be hollow or solid, depending on if the user wants to deal damage to the enemy or not. Because of its size, to safely used, the lid has to be created at least mid range from the user otherwise he will also be caught inside. The biggest lid can dwarf a boss summon like Nagato's Dog or Gamabunta.

After the formation of a single hand seal, the user will slam their hands onto the ground and focus their chakra above the opponent. This opens a portal from which a giant lid of Earth is dropped. The lid can be hollow or solid, on the inside, meaning it can be used to trap the opponent or crush them immediately. The lid was able to dwarf a large boss summon, which means it can trap a large area around the opponent.

(Doton: Iwagakure no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Hiding in Rock Technique
Type: Supplementary/Defensive
Rank: B
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 20
Damage: N/A
Description: This is a technique that allows its user to blend into rocks, move inside them and then move in and out of other rocks undetected. Despite this, Dõjutsu and Sensors can still detect the opponent. The limitation of the technique is that it cannot be used to meld into other types of earth than rock or solid earth and its not a very fast technique, despite being faster than Underground Projection Fish technique.
Note: Can only blend through on C-rank and below Earth Techniques.

The user will focus their Earth chakra throughout their body, and use it to blend into rocks, moving in and out of them. However, they can still be seen with Doujutsu and sensed by Sensors. Only solid Earth can be meld with and its not extremely fast in its usage, and can only be used on C rank and below Earth techniques.

(Doton: Uitenpen) - Earth Style: Wheel Of Fortune
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Descripton: The user will bite his thumb and perform the Boar → Monkey → Bird → Monkey → Ram hand seals, slamming their hand into a scroll on the ground. This technique is a combination of the Summoning Technique and an Earth Release technique. The user summons a large amount of rock from a giant canyon which, during the process of being summoned through this technique, he shapes into a design he outlined previously in a scroll. This allows the user to change the topography of the map and create any earthen feature he needs from pillars to gorges, canyons, mountains or simply plains. If the user wants to or is defeated, the alteration ends as any summon eventually does. Additionally he can use (Doton: Dimenshon Fuudo Shihai) - Earth Release: Dimension Topography Control at any point to change the design and alter the summoned terrain.
Note: can only be used once per battle

The user will bite their thumb, and form the needed hand seals. The user will then slam their hand onto a scroll (that contains a drawing of what the user wants to bring forth, a canyon or a maze), which combines both Summoning and Earth, where the user is able to summon forth rock structures as outlined in the scroll. The user is able to instantly change the terrain in which they are fighting.

(Doton: Dimenshon Fuudo Shihai) - Earth Release: Dimension Topography Control
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description:This jutsu is used after Earth Style: Wheel of Fortune. The user will do the Boar → Monkey hand seals, slamming his hand on the ground and focusing his earth chakra. As he does this, he can change the design of the original technique. He can do this 3 times per battle.

After having done the former, Wheel of Fortune, the user will form two hand seals and slam their hand onto the ground, and focus their Earth chakra into the ground. As the user does this, the user is able to change the design of the original up to three times per fight.

(Doton: Kajūgan no Jutsu) - Earth Style: Added Weight Rock Technique
Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A ( +20 if used to add damage)
Description: The user will perform the Snake handseal and touch a given target (he needs to use his hands in most cases but can release the technique through his whole body if needed) for a small time frame. Upon doing so, he'll use the earth chakra to increase the weight of the target drastically. The technique can increase the targets weight up to 10 times. One interesting side effect of the technique is that when its used on wood based techniques (such as Zetsu's spore clones or normal wood), the infusion of large amounts of earth chakra into it will actually petrify the target in addition to increasing its weight. A similar effect can be achieved in other earthen materials such as mud. The user can also add weight to a given attack (if feasible) to increase both momentum and impact force, effectively adding damage to it.
Note: The weight change lasts 2 turns or until countered.

The user will form a single hand seal and focus their Earth chakra into their hands, or through their entire body. Through physical contact, the user will be able to release their Earth chakra into an opponent, or object, where the user will then use their Earth chakra to increase their original weight up to 10 times. This of course, makes the opponent or object, heavier. On Wood, it causes it to petrify, and as well as to Mud based Earth techniques. The momentum behind certain techniques can also be increased. It lasts 2 turns.

(Doton: Keijūgan no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Light Weight Rock Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A (-20 if used to boost speed of a physical attack)
Description: Contrary to its counterpart (the Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique), instead of making the target heavier, this technique makes it much lighter, though still using the same principle and mechanics. The user will make direct contact with the given target (through his hands), infusing them with earth chakra and lowering their weight drastically. The technique can lower a targets weight up to 10 times less than it originally had. This allows freer manipulation of the affected objects, which would normally carry considerably more weight and as such, require a greater amount of exertion to move. The technique can be used on the user or other shinobi to increase their speed, but as a consequence of using it this way, it results in the decrease of the physical force of their blows. The same principle applies if used on a physical attack wich will be faster but will carry less momentum and as such, less physical damage. It doesn't change the "strength" of binding techniques (like Sand Release), where the user is manipulating a dynamic element but will decrease the impact damage of techniques that rely on it.
Note: The initial effects last for 2 turns or until countered.

The user will focus their Earth chakra and channel it toward their hands. Through physical contact with an object, or a person, the user will infuse their Earth chakra into the opponent and drastically decrease their weight, up to 10 times less than original. This makes the object lighter, as well as faster (can be used on the user themselves). This also makes it easier to carry around heavier things, and if the user speeds themselves up, they will have less physical power in terms of attack.

(Doton: Chōkeijūgan no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Earth Release: Ultra Light-Weight Rock Technique
Type: Supplementary
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A (-40 if used to boost speed of a physical attack)
Description: A more advanced version of the Earth Release: Light-Weight Rock Technique, in which the user drastically decreases the weight of any object in direct physical contact, but to a much greater extent than that of the original ability. The technique can decrease the weight of the target to virtually zero but the bigger the target, the more time is needed.
Note: The weight change lasts 2 turns or until countered.

A more advanced version of the Light Weight Rock Technique, where the user will drastically decrease the weight of the opponent through physical contact. However, unlike the previous technique, this one decreases it to virtually zero.

(Doton: Chō Kajūgan no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Super Added Weight Rock Technique
Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short
Chakra: 40
Damage: N/A (+40 if used to add damage)
Description: A more advanced version of the Earth Release: Added Weight Rock Technique, in which the user drastically increases the weight of any object in direct physical contact, but to a much greater extent than that of the original ability. This technique can increase the weight of a target up to 100 times. Under certain circumstances, the technique can be used to increase the force behind attacks.
Note: The weight change lasts 2 turns or until countered.

The user will drastically increase the weight of an opponent or object, through direct physical contact. The user will focus their Earth chakra into the opponent, and through contact, the user is able to increase the weight of the intended object up to 100 times the original weight.
