It was a beautiful day in the rocky outskirts of Konohagakure. There stood Izaku Raiken with his normal attire in a barren terrain similar to the one that Kakashi trained in, awaiting for the arrival of his teacher.​

Alright Izaku-kun, earth is an amazing element.. my personal favorite. Before we begin I want you to tell me everything you know about the earth element aswell as what it is capable of such as the properties of the earth aswell as different forms, whatever you can think of really.​

Alright Izaku-kun, earth is an amazing element.. my personal favorite. Before we begin I want you to tell me everything you know about the earth element aswell as what it is capable of such as the properties of the earth aswell as different forms, whatever you can think of really.​

Is it? It should be interesting to learn your favorite element Senpai. I will start out with the element's natural weakness and strengths. It is weak to lightning because the piercing nature of lightning would easily disassemble the earthen structure or simply go through it. In some cases, the natural ground/earth is used as a natural conductor for lightning, although a lightning rod is needed for this to work so that the energy is "grounded" and absorbed into the earth to nullify the effects. For example a kenjutsu technique that allows the user to channel a shocking lightning current around their body, through their blade and into the ground by stabbing it. Now, Earth is strong against Water, which is my favorite element. Earth is strong against it because both are tangible elements however Earth holds the upper hand because it is much denser and heavier than water, being able to disperse it into countless directions once they clash. Depending on ranks and the type of techniques, a pressurized jet of water has the potential to slice through rock, however that depends on the situation at hand and taking the elemental weakness into account. Earth has been seen used in different forms like Solid or Liquid, which is actually Mud based. The cool thing about earth release that is it not only release based like projectiles, it can even manipulate the terrain to create new ones or manipulate the pre-existing terrain so long as it is earth and rock based like the moving earth core shown in the ninja world war.

Elemental Interactions with Earth:

Water - If used in combinations with solids, water can be used to either coat earth in order to deal with fire techniques with ease or use it behind it in order to increase the overall speed and force of the technique giving it more blunt force. If used with mud related techniques it could potentially make it more liquidy, making it harder for opponents to get out or easier in some cases. If an earth technique is bathed in water long enough (Not sure how long) it will eventually turn into a muddy substance.

Wind - Just like with Water, Wind has the potential to increase the traveling momentum as well as blunt force of earth techniques so long as they are used behind them. In some cases I imagine that it can be used to cover the entire earth technique it would be able to diffuse lightning techniques an eliminate the natural weakness of earth.

Fire - Depending on the rank (Not sure on which ranks) if the fire technique is big and wide spread enough it will be able to turn the earth molten or at least heat it up enough to make it lethal for whoever touches it. If used against the mud variant of earth release it will turn it into psuedo-lava because it will be that much easier to boil and turn the earth molten. If going up against special fire techniques like we have seen with sasuke, Fire has the potential to punch through or cave in the earth with a certain amount of techniques. However I think they play on equal terms?

Lightning - Combination wise, I don't think there is much I can state aside from maybe using the natural ground as a conductor for lightning, however for that we need a lightning rod and that's not really associated with earth release.

If an earth technique is bathed in water long enough (Not sure how long) it will eventually turn into a muddy substance.

In the case of techniques that is highly unlikely to happen, although when for example using a large scaled water technique which would basically flood the battlefield it the ground itsself would grow moist and eventually muddy overtime but nothing major that would make one sink into it and such.

Fire - Depending on the rank (Not sure on which ranks) if the fire technique is big and wide spread enough it will be able to turn the earth molten or at least heat it up enough to make it lethal for whoever touches it. If used against the mud variant of earth release it will turn it into psuedo-lava because it will be that much easier to boil and turn the earth molten. If going up against special fire techniques like we have seen with sasuke, Fire has the potential to punch through or cave in the earth with a certain amount of techniques. However I think they play on equal terms?

Fire would melt earth of the same rank while the earth would eventually stop the flames. The reason it happens at the same rank is due to the earth not being strong enough to remain intact after taking damage of the same rank and thus in this case it would melt into thick heated mud whereas wind for example would make it crumble. Fire techniques which possess a certain extent of solidity are still equal to earth but instead of melting the earth the impact would simply cause it to crumble as such fire techniques focus on solid impact instead of the burning potency of fire.

Excellent speech, you seem to understand the element well enough. Now, to invoke your earth chakra for the first time you'll have to go through a little test. Take one of these chakra papers [Tosses a bundle of small papers to you] and hold it between your palms and gradually send your chakra into it. While channeling your chakra into the paper focus solely on earth, block out any other thoughts and make your body feel one with the ground beneath your feet. If you get it right you'll notice the paper crumbling and then you have to hang on to that feeling for the first techniques but eventually it'll be like riding a bike.

Understood.

Izaku stands back up as the papers are tossed and wildly attempts to catch all of them as they glide on the air in various directions. He uses his fluidity as well as agility to easily catch all the papers. He then begins to pour his chakra into the paper, attempting to think of the earth itself with great confidence. However, unexpectedly, the paper wrinkles instead, signifying his affinity towards Lightning.

Baka! Focus! [Throws a rock to your head] Stop thinking about your girlfriend with your funky yellow hair and focus on the matter at hand-.. the next rock will be bigger.

Izaku's forehead was struck by a small rock, leaving a small scratch as he was forced to drop the bundle of chakra papers on the ground. He then raised his hand in order to brush the wound away as he focused and picked up that very same rock with his left hand while also grabbing the bundle of papers with his right. He began to look at the rock intensely. Izaku thought back on how hard it felt when the rock clashed with his skin. He memorized it's texture as it struck him. He was able to comprehend just how sturdy and rough the rock was. With that in mind he began to focus his chakra intensely on the bundle of papers on his hand. He closed his eyes as he began to think back on the rock itself, trying to imitate the same thing with his chakra, thinking of roughness, hard and compacted minerals. Slowly but surely, the bundle of papers began to slowly turn to dirt and crumble away, signifying that he had successfully channeled and transformed his chakra into earth with nature transformation.

Sorry Senpai.

Much better, I knew you could do it! Now, hold onto that feeling and let's rock.

Rank: D
Type: Attack/Defence
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 10

Descripton: Creates small pillars of earth, small tools, and small shields of earth

Mold your earth natured chakra and send it into the ground and through your chakra manipulate the earth to form small pillars, tools or even shields of earth. The structures aren't very strong nor big however it has also quite a good supplementary use as you can create the pillars to shoot up against the soles of your feet at the right timing to enchance a jump allowing you to jump up higher and faster to for example avoid an opponent's technique or just clone in on your opponent faster or shoot up pillars behind your opponent to hit them into the back of the knee to throw them off balance, just two examples.

Rank: D
Type: Supplementary/Offense
Range: Short (Mid on throw)
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: This technique allows the user to take a small chunk of rock and turn it into the shape of a staff. The user can then use it as a melee weapon or throw it with pinpoint accuracy at their opponent. A variation of this technique allows the user to create several staffs and launch them at the target, but with less accuracy.

Alright, pick that rock back up and hold it within the palm of your hand. Then send your earth natured chakra into the rock and manipulate the rock's structure to extend into two opposite directions to form a staff of earth. This isn't incredibly strong but can be used as a close quarters combat weapon or you can throw it with pin point accuracy. You can also use this technique to create multiple staves one after another and launch them towards your target though with a lesser accuracy.

Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will concentrate their chakra into their arm and then release their chakra creating a ring of rocks that are then flung at the opponent.

Mold your earth chakra into one of your arms and as you release it concentrate on materializing a ring of rocks around your arm. These rocks can then be flung towards your opponent, pretty simple and straightforward.

Perform the techniques and analyze them, you know the drill.

Got it!

Izaku begins to channeling his chakra and using nature transformation to turn it into earth chakra. He then continues by infusing it into the ground beneath him. While doing so, he crouches slightly. While doing so, he begins to manipulate the very ground itself and rise a 1x1 meter pillar of earth with a flat surface in an angle. As the pillar rises, Izaku pushes off of it, using as a means to propel himself upwards and further into the distance. He fluidly performs a front flip and lands on the ground once again.

This technique seems very cool, it's the lowest ranking yet it is very versatile and it can even be used up to mid range. I can create tools such as shuriken and such that would have the strength of a D rank technique, so stronger in a sense to a metal kunai which has no rank. I can create more than one pillar and since this isnt a lethal technique it doesn't matter how weak it becomes. My only question is if I can only manipulate the earth or maybe release it in a mud like substance from my mouth like Onoki and his golem and create it into a solid kunai and such.​

After explaining himself, Izaku crouches on the ground and grabs a moderately big rock. He then begins to mold and fuel his earth chakra into the chakra allowing himself to manipulate the very minerals of the rock and extend the molecules outwards to either side of his hand. Soon after, the rock would be expanded and compressed into a 3 ft long staff which is rather short due to the mass of the rock used.

A nice technique although it seems like I can do the same exact thing with the first technique, this might make it faster not quite sure or possibly bigger.​

Izaku raises his left fist upwards along with his hand, placing it paralleled to the ground. As he does so he channels and molds his earth chakra around his arm, materializing an earthen substance from the pores of his arm. He then shape manipulates that very same earth into a ring of earth. As he is doing that, he retracts his arm and extends it out in a punching manner, releasing the ring forward.

A very neat technique and surprised that it can go up to mid range. Quit surprised about the first technique as well. All elements seem to be different at lower ranks. As you said, it is very straight forward. It is a nice disguise to throw a punch. As you do so, you then create the ring for a double stacked attack. How big is the ring? Its made of rocks so maybe it can be wide spread after release by expanding the outer shape of the stacked rocks?​

 

[Roy]

My only question is if I can only manipulate the earth or maybe release it in a mud like substance from my mouth like Onoki and his golem and create it into a solid kunai and such.

Sadly you won't be able to do that, you can only use the earth on the ground for this technique.

Using it through this technique would be somewhat faster yeah.

Just small rocks which one could hold in a closed palm. You can however spread them out however you wish after creation.

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.

A technique, which if executed correctly can prove to be quite useful but using it at the wrong moment could prove to be your demise. Channel your earth chakra into the ground beneath your feet and loosen the solid rock turning it into a fine sand and dig your way into it like a mole, continously loosening the earth in your path as you travel through the ground while you are able to sense what occurs on the surface. If you ever use this technique make sure your opponent has no idea you are using it as various earth techniques would be capable of killing you in gruesome ways while you are left defenseless underground. Whilst travelling you can only use weaker earth techniques as you must maintain a high level of focus to prevent yourself from being crushed by the weight of the earth around you.

After being shown the hand sign, Izaku begins to weave it and release his chakra into the ground as the clone is made. He makes sure the clone is far away from him as he then begins to manipulate the earth itself and rise it into multiple sections that surround him high and wide. He continues to manipulate the earth and make them merge on each other, creating two even large sections of earth that aim to crush the clone in between.

Due to the size of this technique, it has to be used at a distance of at least mid to long range. This means if I use it any shorter, I will be in the range of the technique and have to defend from it. I like that this technique allows you to manipulate several sections, either already existing or from the ground. This will make it harder for my target to escape and will force him to fly to simply destroy it as they sections close in on him.​

After doing that, Izaku begins to channel his earth chakra into the ground beneath him and begin to change the composition of it, turning it into fine sand. He then begins to dig himself into the earth as he constantly changes the ground around his body into fine sand so that he can continue to travel. He does so until he reaches the location of his teacher. Izaku's head emerges from the ground and then is instructed to travel beneath the newly created clone to perform a new technique. With that in mind, Izaku uses the "sensing" abilities provided by the mole technique and travels beneath the clone's location to then release his hands from the ground and grab the clone by the ankles, quickly pulling him down into the earth and only leaving his head exposed. Using the clone's legs as a stepping stone, Izaku pulls himself upwards and out of the ground, leaving himself standing in front of the clone.

As you stated, I have to be careful when I use this technique because they can use something like the swamp technique and I will be already stuck underground and simply drown. What I like about this technique is that I am given the ability to sense the whereabouts of my targets so long as they are standing on the ground. Also, I can perform C rank and below techniques while traveling underground which will aid me in stopping my target from attacking me directly. The combination technique associated with this is pretty neat as well. It allows me to pull my target into the ground and leaving him immobilized with only his head showing. They will more than likely use lightning in response so I have to be very careful.​

Thank you Senpai.

Izuka decides to take advantage of his previously created earth technique and so he begins to channel his chakra into the ground and nature transforms it into earth. He then begins to manipulate the surface of the earth prison he had made earlier. He causes it to extend outwards, erupting two spikes of earth with sharp ends, aiming to skewer nothingness.

This seems like a very interesting offensive technique. You can either use it from the ground or from other sources. This means that the target might not be paying attention to previously used sources and you could gain the upper hand. It seems like the spikes are potent enough to even destroy other things that are not of high density in order to reach their target, so things like trees and stuff. (Maybe?)​

Izaku begins to channel his earth chakra into the ground and has it travel all the way beneath the location of his earthen prison. He then begins to manipulate the very earth ever so slightly, causing it to slightly tremble and shake. Due to the size and nature of the prison, it would barely shake.

We've spoken already privately on this technique so there isn't much else I could add. I would utilize this technique when someone is running towards me, or getting into a close situation I can't handle. It would also be wise to use it when a small projectile based technique is released, causing them to miss their target. Would the tremor be strong enough to cause shadow clones to disperse if they fall and hit the ground? ​

Well, the technique has 'N/A' listed on damage and simply falling wouldn't be enough for a shadow clone to poof. Even though it doesn't take much to make them disperse this won't cut it xD

Pretty basic-.. focus your earth chakra and expel it from your mouth manifesting it into a thick globule of mud shot towards your target. The damage it would deal is quite limited but due to the mud's nature it could blind your opponent if hit in the eyes and potentially choke them if you manage to hit them in the mouth and nostrils with it.

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.

With this technique you have to use your earth chakra to detect weak points in a structure and once you have detected it you, through manipulating it with your earth chakra dislodge it causing the structure to collapse to possibly bury your opponent underneath it. The damage caused by this technique depends on the size of the structure and how much of it delves upon your opponent. Yuri rises up the earth creating a makeshift cave and then creates a single shadow clone who moves inside of it like the guinea pig it is. Give it a try, turn that cave into my clone's final resting grounds.

The damage it would deal is quite limited but due to the mud's nature it could blind your opponent if hit in the eyes and potentially choke them if you manage to hit them in the mouth and nostrils with it.

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.

With this technique you have to use your earth chakra to detect weak points in a structure and once you have detected it you, through manipulating it with your earth chakra dislodge it causing the structure to collapse to possibly bury your opponent underneath it. The damage caused by this technique depends on the size of the structure and how much of it delves upon your opponent. Yuri rises up the earth creating a makeshift cave and then creates a single shadow clone who moves inside of it like the guinea pig it is. Give it a try, turn that cave into my clone's final resting grounds.

Izaku beings to focus his earth chakra inside of his stomach. He then spews from his mouth after careful nature and shape manipulation, a medium sized ball of sticky mud. The globe of mud is aimed directly at a random tree. Upon collision, it would splatter into several locations, leaving a sticky patch.

Well what's good about this technique is that it is relatively easy to create and release. It requires no seals to be woven before release and the technique is large and thick enough to even choke the target if they are struck in the head and face area. This is because the material will clog the nostrils and all breathing outlets. This globe also has the properties to bind targets if shot towards the ground and are caught afterwards.
​

After the cave is made, Izaku begins to mould and channel his earth chakra while performing a single hand seal. He begins to scan the cave with his earth chakra for any lose spots. He then shape manipulates the minerals in the lose structures in order to make it collapse. The loss of a single structural piece of rock would then create a large chain reaction of collapsing rocks.

It states man made structure, could I use it to dislodge a custom statue or something similar? Maybe like an earth golem that is of C rank? Overall this technique seems nice but as it states, it is not man fueled with chakra so it doesnt have the same potent power as chakra made ones. Also the damage varies both on what the opponent can defend and avoid as well as the overall size of the collapsing structure.​

These techniques pretty much relate to one another so no need for me to explain them seperately. First form the Tiger hand seal and manipulate the ground beneath your opponent turning it into a river of mud which would throw them off balance and send them away from you. Then, while manipulating the recently created river of mud perform the hand seals [Ram → Horse → Dragon] and shape the mud into a dragon-like head which is capable of firing concentrated bullets of mud towards your opponent. If the latter is combined with a fire technique it will shoot balls of lava.

Izaku performs the hand seal he was shown and quickly weaves it together as he molds his chakra and then channels it into the ground in front of a nearby tree. Izaku begins to manipulate the minerals and loosens them, creating a muddy surface that begins pulling the tree out of it's roots backwards, due to the whole ground around it being compromised. As the tree is being pulled, Izaku chains together three handseals while manipulating that very same mud-source, creating a large dragon head that rises from within. The dragon is shape manipulated to release several mud-like projectiles towards the tree as it is being pulled.

A really nice combination of earth techniques. What I like is that the dragon bullet isnt restricted to being used with the river, it can be used with other mud sources. If so, could this be used with the sticky earth drop technique shown by the Konoha Anbu? One of the best things about this dragon techniques is that it can be created up to long range, so so long as there is a mud source available, a dragon can be manipulated, and possibly, release the projectiles up to long range as well? My question is, would the activated dragging river stop moving it's foe once the dragon technique is being used? Due to manipulate a new technique. Speaking of the river, I like the fact that it can be created on very rare conditions like it was shown on a roof top by Hiruzen, taking advantage of the earthen minerals in the root covering plates and such.

 

[Roy]

Can be used with the mud produced by sticky earth drop after it's dropped to the ground xD as for creating the dragon it's within short range and the bullets can go upto long. And unless the mud is flowing downward it indeed stops moving the moment you initiate another technique.. though not instantly since it has to slow down first and all.

Description: After striking the ground with their hands, the user manipulates the ground in front of him to form a slab that tilts upwards, up to 90º, creating a wall of earth that can defend from incoming frontal attacks. In addition, the user can also create 2 slabs that will rise and tilt to the sides in front of him, as if "opening up" the ground. This can be done to create a clear path if anything hazardous is above the ground in that specific area.

Strike the ground with your hands and manipulate a section of the ground before you to rise up towards you up to a 90 degree angle effectively creating a wall before you. Alternatively you can use this technique to clear anything blocking your view by manipulating a section of earth and splitting it down the middle rising both halves up to your left and right sides upto an angle of 90 degrees.

Description: This technique lets the user summon a river of mud infront of them by lifting one of their hands in the air. This technique can have water added to it to speed up the flow and increase its power.

Lift up one of your hands and summon a river of mud before you which travels away from you. The flow of the mud can be sped up by using water to make it thinner, thus obviously making it faster and can be used as a source of mud for a different technique or just to throw your opponent off balance.

Izaku starts out by weaving together the four hand seals he was shown whilst manipulating and molding his earth chakra into the ground. He then manipulates the very ground itself to rise countless thin pillars of earth that are roughly twice or so higher than an average human. The forest pillars are evenly spaced apart to make a person restrained by having their limbs intertwined around the pillars without harming them.

For the nature of this technique I believe it requires "a lot" of hand seals. As you have already stated, it doesnt harm the target it only restrains them to a certain degree by the intertwining forest of pillars. What's good about this technique is that it can be used when the opponent creates clones, taking advantage of that and rising a widespread in radius forest. Chances are, they will either take out one of the clones in the process or they will sacrifice themselves to cut down the pillars with lightning or something similar.​

Izaku continues to the next technique and slams either of his hands against the surface of the ground. When doing so, he injects his chakra into the ground manipulates the minerals, allowing him to rise a square-like thick wall of earth. The wall would rise upwards like flipping the page of a book and stand directly in front of him Izaku himself.

A pretty neat defensive technique, although not very effective because it only defends, and it even blocks the view of the user. I do like the second usage which would be splitting things apart by rising two earth walls that tilt to either side. This could potentially be used against an incoming mud river, rising the walls and splitting them to either side, causing the river to spread out around that area, effectively missing the user.​

Izaku rises his left hand into the air while releasing his earth chakra into the ground and creating yet another mud river similar to the last one. The river would travel forward into long range.

There is not much I can say about this technique besides the requirement of only a hand gesture and the fact that it can travel up to long range. Maybe, if the terrain has water in it, one can take advantage to make the river become more liquid and travel faster.​

Description: Using this jutsu, a person can hide underground until they're ready to attack an opponent by merging with the ground itself. By utilizing earth-chakra, the person can stealthily emerge from the ground without disrupting the ground around him. The disadvantage with this technique is that merging with the ground is rather slow and while perfomring the technique, the user is vulnerable to high ranked Earth techniques. 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.

Unlike the hiding like a mole technique this one allows you to actually merge with the earth and stealthily move throughout it without disturbing it. However, the major drawback of this technique is that it's slower and you cannot travel to greater depths thus you're left extremely vulnerable to earth techniques.

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.

Perform the hand seals [Rabbit → Boar → Rat → Horse → Tiger → Snake] and slam your hands down onto the ground. Flow concentrated chakra into the dragon veins flowing underground and rise up a single section of earth in the desired location and after rising it split it down the middle, creating a chasm. As your skill in earth release increases you will be able to perform this technique on a higher level.
