Re: Doton with Kerrah

Performing the technique: Kneading a fair amount of chakra throughout his body, Ithnan allows it to linger on the surface of his body and grow adjusted to the general anatomical layout. After a brief moment, the chakra is then drawn into Ithnan's gullet and concentrated before being spit from his mouth, whereupon it immediately assumes the same appearance as Ithnan
How would you use the technique in battle: I'd probably use it primarily when I'm pushing for a greater doton presence on the battlefield, or want to make certain combinations. Other instances where I may use it is when I want some sort of distraction in close proximity to the user.
How to defend from the technique: This clone variation naturally has a weakness to lighting-based techniques, so moderately powerful techniques can easily overwhelm it and whatever earth techniques that may be used in defense.
Do you like anything about the technique? Having different clone variations is always nice, but it is far less versatile than the shadow clone technique.

Wonderful.

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

This technique is simple, by releasing your Doton chakra throughout your body and outwards, harness the Earth surrounding your radius to come together and cascade you in the form of a simple dome. The dome is quite large, being able to cover multiple individuals rather than just yourself, and can defend from any incoming attacks until it is destroyed. One general disadvantage of shelters is that if you are not a sensor or a Doujutsu user, you are placing yourself in greater danger since you'll be backed into a corner and the opponent will be aware of your location. However, by manipulating your chakra within the dome, it enables you to create openings in the dome, they could be small just so your eyes will be able to see what's going on, or as huge as depicted in the picture, all up to you.

 

[Pekoms]

Re: Doton with Kerrah

Performing the technique: Kneading a fair amount of chakra throughout his body, Ithnan then disperses it into the ground in his immediate vicinity. Once the chakra is released, it pulls the surrounding earthen terrain towards Ithnan and rises up to form a protective dome.
How would you use the technique in battle: I would use this technique as a means of defense, likely against taijutsu/kenjutsu/suiton techniques of lower level. Given I have chakra sensing, it'd be easy to follow up with an underground movement/attack as a followup and take the opponent by surprise or use it to increase the gap between us.
How to defend from the technique: It is an entirely defensive technique, so there is no way to "defend" from it.
Do you like anything about the technique? Very simplistic, so no, not really.

[Kerrah]

Re: Doton with Kerrah

Brilliant yeah, not so much to say about the technique itself since it's limited to its uses. However, one exemplary use is that the dome can be used as an external Earth source, so you could for example cause spikes to protrude from the outside of the shell as some sort of surprise attack.

(Doton: Fukusuu no Dorosandan) - Earth Release: Multiple Mudshot Technique
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage point: 40
Description: This jutsu is basically a widespread version of the Mudshot Technique; allowing the user to fire at multiple targets.

Yeah, remember the C-ranked Mudshot technique? This is just this but multiplied. xD Really not much to say about it, the technique doesn't state the amount that you are limited to shoot out but from previous experience, I'd say around five is the top. It's done by mixing your saliva with your Doton chakra and spitting out globules of mud which can be used to either trap your opponent through the thick substance, or blind them by spitting it in their eye. Mix this with a fire technique as well would be a sweet combination as you'd be sending globules of pseudo-lava which could become quite troublesome for your opponent.

 

[Pekoms]

Re: Doton with Kerrah

Performing the technique: Kneading a fair amount of chakra within his mouth, Ithnan infuses the mass into his saliva, before spitting it out and applying nature transformation to have the spit assume a thick, muddy texture.
How would you use the technique in battle: I would use this technique primarily for harassment or an attempt to reduce the movement/sight of either one or a few opponents.
How to defend from the technique: Moderately powerful wind techniques can completely repel the mud shots.
Do you like anything about the technique? Eh, it's hardly lethal, but it's a more powerful and effective way of messing with the opponent if even one of the mudshots land, so the increased number makes it more favorable to the more basic version.

Description: After performing Assimilate all creation technique the user will collect from nearby rocks and create the necessary mass to perform the technique, Additionally using the rock powder to make the technique more damaging. Since the resulting Human Ball is made of a much stronger heavier material.
Note: Must use Assimilate all creation technique beforehand.

Spoiler

Another technique that is used with eh Assimilate All Creation technique. However this technique is a bit more independent compared to the other one you learned. The basis for this is that it's essentially a copy of the Akimichi's Human Bullet Tank technique, but rather than converting one's fat for the purpose of the technique, what you will do is harness minerals from the rocks around you by fusing with the rocks. Then, with the use of shape manipulation and the necessary mass gained from gathering the components needed; you will basically be within this big perfect circle-like boulder which travels at fast speeds towards your opponent. The technique, whilst stated that it is an offensive technique can also be used defensively, since the rocks act as a layer of defence. But the technique is only Short-ranged which is a bummer.

 

[Pekoms]

Re: Doton with Kerrah

Performing the technique: Upon performing the Assimilate All Creation technique, Ithnan then draws in nearby rocks and other minerals towards his own person, creating a large, nearly flawless sphere of earth around himself capable of moving at fast speeds.
How would you use the technique in battle: I might use this technique to defend against water techniques of the same power or weaker, and use it to follow up and close the gap between the two us, if not damage them by striking them whilst in the earthen mass.
How to defend from the technique:
A moderately powerful barricade can halt the opponent's use of the technique, as well as Swamp of the Underworld or countless lighting techniques capable of easily piercing entirely through the earthen mass.
Do you like anything about the technique? Nope.

Soooperb, yeah it's a pretty boring technique in my opinion, frankly I don't think I've seen anyone use it at all but alas it is the procedure. xD

(Doton: Doryūha) - Earth Release: Earth Flow Wave
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Mid - Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: After performing the required hand seal sequence Rat → Snake → Tiger the user creates and rides a wave of earth that can branch of to attack from a distance. The user can also use the technique to manipulate the terrain and trap the target by wrapping earth round their legs preventing them from moving

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images

This is based on the principle with the C-ranked mud river, but rather than using mud you'll be using liquefied Earth. Begin by performing the Rat → Snake → Tiger hand signs whilst kneading your Doton chakra, channeling it throughout your body and into the ground right beneath you, where by infusing your chakra with the particles on the surface of the Earth, I want you to break down their structure in a similar way done to the 'Hiding like a Mole' technique, albeit not to that same extent. Just enough to break down the rigidity that Earth encompasses and enable it to be more flexible. In doing this, you'll be able to effectively then ride the wave and move around, so this could be used in terms of evasive means, but it doesn't stop there. It's offensive abilities are also similar to that of the mud river, in that it can wrap around your opponents legs and bind them to their place.

And then something that is inextricably linked to that is the old C-rank technique I said we'd cover once we got to this.

(Doton: Retsudo Tenshin) - Earth Release: Violent Heavenly Earth Needle
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage point: 30
Description: The user after after using earth release: earth flow wave, will perform the snake hand seal and then will create a large needle out of it to impale the opponent.
Note: Must use Earth Release: Earth Flow Wave before hand

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images

So let's say you're in a scenario where you've effectively caught your opponent, used the flow wave to wrap around his ankles and he can't physically move out of it. By performing the snake hand sign I want you to grab a quantity of the flow wave and by using shape manipulation, stretch out that quantity and give it a piercing, sharp property, so that when it is driven into the body of your opponent it'll rip through without any noticeable difficulty. Though I don't like how this is a technique on its own and is severely limited as it can only be used if it succeeds the former technique, it'll be a rare sight to ever use this in action, but would be cool for a dramatic ending to a poor person's life.

Since the second technique is pretty much just an extension of the first, just use the template once and corporate both techniques as if you were to use them in succession.

 

[Pekoms]

Re: Doton with Kerrah

Performing the technique: Performing a sequence of hand-seals: Rat → Snake → Tiger, Ithnan creates a small wave of earth beneath his feet, before making just the Snake hand-seal. A large needle forms from the wave is swiftly shoots towards the desired target.
Questions about the technique: How would you use the technique in battle: I'd either use the wave to safely navigate some hazardous terrains or use the initial technique to trap the target, before following up with the second technique.
How to defend from the technique: A lightning technique that involves streaming through the body, or the earth techniques that drastically lighten whatever is desired. If the user is riding the wave and not trying to bind the opponent, a decent lightning projectile technique will suffice.
Do you like anything about the technique? Not really, it does nothing several other techniques can do. The second technique, the follow-up , is especially meaningless and you're right, in that it's very unlikely to be seen in any combat situation.

Nice stuff

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

This is actually quite a nice technique if you ask me and underrated in our RP. But it's execution takes quite a lot of time which is probably why it isn't used so much. It is split into two parts, first, you'd need to lay a scroll down on the ground wherever you desire, the scroll itself would blend in with the ground and thus make it hard to be distinguished. Then, the rest is up to your opponent. Because when the scroll makes contact with your opponent's chakra (e.g. if your opponent was to use an Earth technique that uses the ground in some sort of way) The technique would be activated, and from there a maximum of three wolves formed out of mud would escape the scroll and embark towards your opponent. The wolves, being made out of mud, utilize mud's natural abilities that we've covered, upon contact they can deal blunt damage as well as sticking to them, binding them to the spot, and if damaged you can use the sources of mud around the battlefield to reform the wolves again.

 

[Pekoms]

Re: [Doton] Pekoms

Performing the technique: Placing a special scroll in between himself and the opponent, Koumei waits for the enemy's chakra to come contact with the scroll, which will then release three mud wolves to attack the opponent.
How would you use the technique in battle: Eh, this would be a fairly useful technique if the opponent has a tendency to use earth release techniques, so if you anticipate an incoming earth technique altering the nearby ground, it'd be best to set the scroll then.
How you would defend from the technique: I'd probably go ahead and use a powerful, widespread fire technique to set all of the wolves ablaze and have them harden, which should stop them completely (including any need for generation).
Do you like anything about the technique? The mud wolves can regenerate repeatedly.
Questions about the technique: What can they regenerate from? Lost limbs? A lightning technique?​

Re: [Doton] Pekoms

(Kerrah sensei, come back to us! D; ok, so my training method is easy. I just like RPing and having fun. Perform the jutsus as I ask... you don't have to do templates, unless you have something to say about the technique. Also, ask questions if you have any )

Souji ("The Fool" in my sig) entered the training ground to find Kuomei (I assume you didn't change your bio?), his student, sitting alone. Without saying a word, he walked up and picked up the note the previous sensei had left behind. After scanning it quickly with his distinct grey eyes, he looked up and offered his hand as a friendly handshake and a smile. He came off as amicable.

"Hey! I'm Souji Seta of Konoha. I believe I'll be taking over? Let's get right to it."

"The next jutsu is very useful. Essentially, Earth Armor! Pretty self explanatory, but one of the cool uses of this jutsu is to do a full-body chakra surge, which is enough to dispel genjutsus one rank lower... so C-rank genjutsu. That's one of the less well known usages of this technique."

Souji threw an explosive-tagged kunai straight at Kuomei's chest to prove the defensive capabilities of the jutsu.

"Quick!"

Well, that was quite a way to continue the training session. However, they were shinobi, after all... gotta be ready for anything! Ithnan had the aura of someone with authority, someone important. Souji would treat him appropriately.

The user whilst in this armor is resistant to B rank ninjutsu techniques but is vulnerable to Lightning Techniques.

After the first technique was demonstrated and explained, Souji moved on...

"Slam your hands on the ground and channel Doton Chakra through it. Giant, sharp rocks will erupt from the ground and attempt to skewer your opponent. Fast and easy to perform, powerful... nothing excessively complicated here."

He created a Shadow Clone for Ithnan to try the technique on.

Re: [Doton] Pekoms

Sorry about the delay, I've been quite busy recently.​

---

Reacting to Souji-sensei's sudden assault, Koumei began to knead a moderate amount of chakra throughout the rostral section of his body. With simple application of nature transformation, he swiftly coated his body in a multitude of stones just in time to intercept the incoming kunai. The armor, providing a substantial defense, was even able to nullify the subsequent explosion's damage.

Following Souji-sensei's instructions for the second technique, Koumei swiftly crouched forward and slammed both his hands (palms down) on the ground immediately in front of his person. The moment his hands connected with the ground, he wasted no time in streaming his chakra towards the idle clone and then, manipulated several sharp stones to strike it with enough force to easily disperse it.

Lastly, Koumei, then weaved a pair of hand-seals: Ram -> Snake, and created a portal in the sky, approximately ten meters above a cluster of trees. Almost immediately, upon opening of the portal, a massive quantity of sticky mud descended upon the trees and overwhelmed them entirely.​

[Pekoms]

Re: [Doton] Pekoms

Following the general principles behind the standard shadow clone technique, Koumei releases a fair amount of chakra to his side (right). This time, however, he also modifies the quality of the chakra via nature transformation, so as to make a clone identical to his own person, yet entirely composed of mud.

Performing a sequence of hand-seals: Ram -> Horse -> Tiger -> Rabbit -> Snake, Koumei then proceeds to slam the palm of his right hand on the ground. The moment his hand makes contact, he releases a fair amount of chakra towards his idle clone through the ground. Almost immediately, the ground around his clone assumes a form akin to a set of gargantuan jaws, whereby the clone is forcefully dispersed as the jaws swiftly close.​

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.

"I want you to perform these two jutsus in a proper combination against my clone over here. Afterwards, justify why you used each move in the way you did."

Souji creates said Shadow Clone.

"After you've finished that, perform the snake handseal and create a cavern around your target using the surrounding earth. Form it around my second clone. Something interesting here is that you can leave openings in the cavern, or close it up trap them inside completely."

[Pekoms]

Re: [Doton] Pekoms

Putting distance between the clone and his own person, Koumei proceeded to weave two hand-seals: Ram, then Snake, which then makes a large, gaping portal appear above the clone, in the sky. From the bowels of the portal, mass quantities of particularly sticky mud is expelled, which descends upon the idle clone to consume it, in it's entirety. Without hesitation, he then proceeded to release an intense stream of fire (Fire Release: Fire Breath) from his mouth, essentially 'baking' the mud. With the mud hardened, Koumei finished his combo by performing the hand-seal and slamming both his hands on the ground. Again, a large portal appeared in the sky, however, instead of mud, a giant, boar-shaped lid fell from it. Descending rapidly with gravity at work, the solid lid effortlessly devastated the land upon impact, causing the clone to disperse.

This has been in the deepest recesses of my mind, but I wasn't sure if you wanted me to utilize both in a single combination. Whilst both techniques seem quite useful, I feel their natures are too similar, and thus overlap in a combination too much to be greatly effective.

Targeting the second clone, Koumei once again wove the Snake hand-seal, this time manipulating the earth in the vicinity of the clone to rise up and create a cavern entrapping the clone inside, with the only opening in between it and Koumei. Weaving a sequence of four hand-seals, Koumei then spews superheated ash (Fire Release: Ash Pile Burning) from their mouth and has its mass fill the newly made cavern, akin to a dark cloud. By clicking his teeth together, the cloud of ash ignites in a blazing explosion of such force that the cavern, itself, collapses inwards, crushing anything not immediately obliterated by the fire technique.

Wow, I've finally managed to respond to this. Sorry about the extreme delay in the reply, I'll be better from now on. ​

Welcome back xd

Hint: you can drop the lid and mud from the same portal, no need to reopen or close them. Makes things a little cleaner and faster

Let's transition to a discussion based training. Perform them in your own words and give me your opinion/questions/etc. I'll still be RPing as Souji when I speak here, though o-o

Ram! Then, you'll create a pit which sucks everything that surrounds it into it. Great range, the size of the pit is controllable... but why can't you form this short range, you think?

The range of the pit is determined by how much chakra is put into the technique.​

One handseal, and you'll form a rampart (a cliff formation) from underneath you. One of things here is that it's a nice way to raise your ground without the Moving Earth Core, and perhaps an advantage would be that you can shape the rampart into various shapes.

If the user increases the volume of earth too much, he can be forced to keep his chakra consumption down. The user can combine this jutsu with Water Style: Waterfall Basin Technique to create a waterfall.​

This jutsu's the Earth Wall. Pretty straightforward; I don't think it's worth explaining that much as I'm sure you have enough understanding of it. Give me analysis instead; when used to defend from the basic 5 elements, up to what ranks of each element can the wall tank?

Forming just the Ram hand-seal, Koumei then releases a moderate amount of chakra into the ground towards an idle dummy. The released chakra rapidly softens the targeted ground beneath the dummy, as it diffuses outwards whilst also causing the softened terrain to drag the dummy into an opening pit, where it'll be trapped.

Aside from the repetition of the word: 'causes' in the first sentence (z_z), I don't see much meaning in the final sentence, since the technique is not multi-rank. Overall, it's a pretty nice technique; its functionality is akin to SotU, but it can also force objects and/or people to cluster whilst modifying their range(s).

Performing a short sequence of hand-seals: Tiger → Hare → Boar → Dog, Koumei kneads a moderate amount of chakra in his mouth, before spewing it in front of his person in a horizontal manner. The expelled chakra, free to assume the intended properties of earth, give form to a quickly ascending earthen wall for solid defense.

Re: [Doton] Pekoms

By molding Doton throughout your body, you'll take on the properties of the Earth around you, integrating into it. You can move through the solid rock or earth seamlessly, literally "becoming one with the Earth". No non-solid integration and it only works on C-ranks or natural formations.

Use that jutsu to hide in the ground and DODGEEEEEEEE *Throws a boulder at you*

(Doton: Iwagakure no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Hiding in Rock Technique
Rank: B
Type: Defence/Supplementary
Range: Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 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, Doujutsu 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

*waits for Kuomei to reemerge*

Ok, one hand seal and you'll form Earth spikes that emerge from the ground. Pretty much the same as any other spike-based technique.

(Doton: Doryūsō) - Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user first performs the Bird hand seal and the user condense mud or stone, from the ground, and shape them into spikes that will protrude from the ground in order to skewer the target. The spikes cannot penetrate targets of greater density.

*creates a cave and a clone that stands in it*

Three handseals, then channel your Doton chakra throughout that cave, identifying the structural weakness of the cave, which is likely to be concentrated in a single piece of Earth. Remove that piece of Earth to allow the cave to collapse in on itself, crushing my clone who's inside. Great for destroying natural formations or even created techniques, although it's really situational.

(Doton: Iwayado Kuzushi) - Earth Style: Rock Lodging Destruction
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user performs the required hand seals Tiger → Rat → Snake and they then causes a cave-in by destroying the equilibrium that holds the cave together. Just removing a single vital stone throws off the balance of the cave, making it unexpectedly fragile and causing a domino effect that destroys the entire cave. The shinobi from Iwagakure use this technique in their pride tactic, luring several enemies into a cave to kill them all at once.
