Yeah use it on them while they are in a gen and your up close. Best way to do it. If successful pretty much means if you land the combo with the elbow hitting their head (and no armor hindering your attack ect)
Well technically there is, EIG, but you need to earn that boy O_< Also NB tai has S ranks. But in general, tai is about precition his and timing with controlled power at the right time. Intersection method breaks a bone in two, it's B rank, that is insane it itself, timing and control alone break a bone, who needs S ranks? xd
Brilliant. Due to the effort you put into tai and our different time zones i'm going to be doing 5 jutsu at a time. You will breka down the jutsu, say how they work, good, bad, how you use it, and any questions as before. Afterwords i'll give my input and go on to the next jutsu as long as you understand clearly:
Applied similarily, you can create a dust cloud using a hand motion or weapon by directing your chakra to/through it. This is pretty handy in two ways:
I was right to do so many at once, you really put the effort in
(Doton: Retsudo Tenshin) - Earth Release: Violent Heavenly Earth Needle
Watching the episode, this one is quite an interesting technique to use with its parent technique, Earth Flow Wave. If your enemy is subdued, this allows you to do a quick strike using earth. Basically you ride the earth you previously created, then use that very earth to extend into a needle-like protrusion which can pierce an enemy especially if they are caught off guard. Sekiei was quite tactful when using it as he had used an earth clone to restrain Neji beforehand but even before that he was able to take advantage of the situation by distracting him to move towards one way. This actually gives me ideas to use in battle. Not particularly great but its a great stepping stone towards combos. Disadvantage is it appeared to move quite slow in the anime. Don't know if that was plot or it was the way most earth techniques work. So despite its potential lethality, it's slow. Not terribly but still slow.
Edit: Looks like it moves quite fast. Nevermind. Very good jutsu to use with Earth Flow Wave.
(Doton: Dāchiganshō) - Earth Release: Ground Bedrock
Now this...this is something nice. I like how in the anime, this traps Kosuke in a small space by creating to slaps of earth to block his way forward and backward. I would assume that our rp allows us to use it side to side as well but I like the anime's adaption better. This would block their vision allowing me to perform a nice combo like dropping lid and sixteen pillar bind (in no particular order) or even dropping lid and swamp of the underworld. Lot's of potential especially if you can find a stronger version of it or through clever cj. Overall, I'll definitely be using this as a feint as its too good not to use. Disadvantage seems to be its low rank and how op ninjas in our rp can pulverize it but thats only if you don't use tact with it.
(Doton: Hokoriheki no Jutsu ) - Earth Release: Dust Wall Technique
This seems similar to technique that Temari does:
Applied similarily, you can create a dust cloud using a hand motion or weapon by directing your chakra to/through it. This is pretty handy in two ways:
1. You can pretty much use any weapon to create the dust wall which, if used tactfully, can prove to help turn the tide in battle.
2. You can direct this dust forwards offensively, which if combined with other jutsu, can be used as a set up to hinder your opponents vision or attention.
Overall, pretty neat trick and doesn't require that much effort. With it lasting for three turns, just makes it more valuable.
#orochimarusneaky
(Doton: Rokkuhanmā) - Earth Release: Rock Hammer
Good ol' Ōnoki. z.z
This attack is pretty straight forward. Take a chunk of rock out, make it levitate, then drop down on the opponent. Correct? Hmm...seems to be a waste of time in my own opinion unless your opponent is slow. I have a rule of thumb that most ninja are faster than that (they're not like in NUNS unfortunately T_T). Hard to think of any combos for this unless you like earth a lot. >_>
Don't like it tbh.
Edit: Reviewed Ōnoki's moveset from the game and while its slow to create, the hammer is quite big and can really crush an opponent. Handy but still not using it unless I can think of a combo to use it with. z.z
#shortnsweet
(Doton: Iwa Dangan) - Earth Release: Rock Bullet
Earth always seems to be weird for me when using offensively. I'm used to seeing it only as a defense. This is quite useful though as the right timing can help give you an edge. Given it's range, it just makes it more valuable in my arsenal. Lol I so want to shoot this to the back of someone's head. Hue hue hue
Anyways, you point your palm or fist then create a rock which you manipulate to launch itself towards your target. It's nice technique to use from a vantage point and more so to get your enemy's attention. Handy indeed for us sneaky bastards. The speed of creating the rock is concerning though but it shouldn't matter really as long as you time it correctly.
Edit: Oh yeah. Ōnoki uses this in the game. Its a rather large rock tbh and one that can launch your enemy in the air forward (not like in the sky but a little above ground. PERFECT set up for another technique like Swamp or Antlion technique or even spikes coming towards him. Good, good. Will keep this in mind next time. <3
#deception
(Doton: Jōshō Iwa) - Earth Release: Rising Rocks
Very good setup especially for all those techniques which work better while your are airborne. Not much to say other than you create "pincers" that work like an over-glorified earth technique (D-Rank one). I can see myself using this as he gets near me then use something to catch him while he is in midair like that cat summoning that Ibiki uses. Add some fuuin and viola! Battle over! Muahahaha!
Using it short range is a better usage though as it can catch an enemy off guard IMO. .-.
I was right to do so many at once, you really put the effort in
(Doton: Retsudo Tenshin) - Earth Release: Violent Heavenly Earth Needle - personally i'm not a fan of jutsu that rely on specific combos, like using earth flow wave in this case. People tend to counter the first jutsu before you can pull off the combo. Though you can always use combos to force your opponent into the situation you want. I'll teach you this in advanced battle training when we finish your basics
(Doton: Dāchiganshō) - Earth Release: Ground Bedrock - This is all about the combo due to the rank. If you can pull this off with the pillars of fire that shoot up from below, you've got a nice little trap. Use this when people try to hurricane fist out of swamp, so many ways of just trapping them. Not having to rely purely on strength alone.
Doton: Hokoriheki no Jutsu ) - Earth Release: Dust Wall Technique - distaction and counter to doujutsu to the max xd
( Doton: Rokkuhanmā ) - Earth Release: Rock Hammer - shame it's short range but it reminds me of old school cartoons, just use if for funny rp xd
( Doton: Iwa Dangan ) - Earth Release: Rock Bullet - an earth projectile, what more can i say, the mud part of it's pretty good though xd
Doton: Jōshō Iwa ) - Earth Release: Rising Rocks - use this to interupt and summoning, they go to slam down you hit them up before thye finish xd

( Doton: Gizagiza no Iwajin ) - Earth Release: Jagged Rock Formation
Rank: C
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will manipulate their chakra and stomps the ground. By doing so, he causes small fractures to rip through the ground, which will then force fragments of earth and rock to rise up from the ground like protruding rock formations to then deal blunt force damage to the opponent and can raise them up into the air.
( Doton: Renga no Jutsu ) Earth Release: Practice Brick Technique
Type: Defensive
Rank: C
Range: Short - Long
Chakra: 15
Damage: N/A
Description: The user creates a solid wall of earth as a form of defence, manipulating a pre-existing ground to form the wall. The earth then instantly rises up and takes form. Though weak, the walls can serve as a makeshift blockade when formed by several users, slowing down large, powerful attacks. This technique is apparently extremely simple and basic among Earth Release techniques, and can thus be easily taught to and used by non-primary Earth Release users.
Then:
B rank
(Doton: Retsudo Tenshō) - Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm
Rank: B-Rank
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: After performing the required hand seals Boar → Ox → placing hand on the ground, the user causes the ground surrounding the enemy to spiral inwards on itself, burying them alive or crushing them in a mayhem of jagged rocks. This technique is capable of causing quite a bit of damage to a large area. This technique is much more damaging if used in rocky mountainous areas, or inside a cave.
(Doton: Furaito no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Flight Technique
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 20 (-5 per turn to maintain)
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique grants the user the ability to fly by lightening his weight severely through the use of Earth Release and using his chakra to move around in the air at high speeds with ease. Onoki showed that its also possible to transfer this technique to others through physical contact with them for an unspecified amount of time.
Note: Can only be used by the first Tsuchikage, Onoki and Mu bios
( Doton: Dosekidake no Jutsu ) - Earth Release: Earth and Stone Bamboo Shoot Technique

Damage points: 40
Description: The user of this technique condenses the soil and rock in the area to sprout out in the form of four large spikes which attack the target from four separate directions to make it harder to evade. However, it can be easilty avoided by escaping upwards.
(Doton: Gizagiza no Iwajin) - Earth Release: Jagged Rock Formation - simple and to the point
Simple to the point, can be useful but i've never used them.(Doton: Iwa Bunshin) - Earth Release: Rock Clone Technique - No they don't reform and they can use earth release and taijutus. This is the same for all elemental clones unless stated otherwise
(Doton: Iwa no Hogo) - Earth Release: Earth Shelter Technique - Now you're starting to get it, it's not all about single defense it's about what you can do after, and your example was perfect. Beware of sensors. It can also be good to set up other stuff, i use this, make an opening and try and enter sage mode, or do a summon, release the hidden mist, just general basic defense too is alright
(Doton: Iwa Enchou no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Earth Dome Technique - yeah half dome is better just as you aren't so trapped
(Doton: Fukusuu no Dorosandan) - Earth Release: Multiple Mudshot Technique - Here is a general insight into all projectile based jutsu. The more you make with a single use, the weaker they are. So you make 1, it's B rank, 2-3 can still be B rank in some cases, but as you break it down it gets weaker by half each time as the chakra you put into it is spread. So your example i can't recall to be honest but i'll assume so many shots made them weaker, that and Main character no jutsu, combined with kakashi maybe avoiding with his sharingan? You know how it goes. But yeah the more you make the weaker they are.
(Doton: Dōka Ganseki Sensha) - Earth Release: Assimilated Rock Tank - no matter what you use, it's always going to have a weakness. I focus on fire, my weakness is water, but i don't let that hold me back, i learn jutsu i can use to get me ready to counter it you know? So in this case you find your own personal way to counter dat lightning. But yeah, it's a great technique, shout "paruuuuu" or w.e Chouji says when he uses his akimichi version as a genin xd
(Doton: Doryūha) - Earth Release: Earth Flow Wave - Personally i believe it's a very versatile jutsu and to use a technique from above while on it is fine. I'd use it to my advantage to be honest. Get the wave of earth up as your above it, release it saying you let it fall, then release wind from above. You have a two element combo, wind and earth, they can't use lightning to break the earth and the earth should neutrilize the weakness to fire. You're then attacking from above that limits their escape

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.

Chakra Cost: 20 (-50 chakra each turn the opponent is inside the dome)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After striking the ground with their hands, the user overturns the earth, causing it to rise up around his opponent(s). Then, by placing his/her hands against the dome, the user is able to drain out the chakra from the people trapped inside and absorb it into their own body.

Note: Can only be used by Jirobo
(Doton: Domu) – Earth Release: Earth Spear Technique
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A (+10 to physical attacks)
Description: After performing the Snake hand seal the user will channel their chakra throughout their entire body, which then hardens their skin to a steel-like quality. This increases their defensive power to the utmost limits. The user’s skin also becomes much darker, an almost black colour. The destructive power of physical attacks is increased, making this a great, all purpose technique. But this technique when activated leaves the user vulnerable to lightning based techniques.
Note: Kakuzu bios can use this technique without the need for handseals
(Doton: Iwa Keiro) – Earth Style: Rock Trail
Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user slams their hands on the ground and giant rocks rise up and jag the opponent from underneath.
(Doton: Nentsuchi Otoshi) – Earth Release: Sticky Earth Drop
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 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.
First: You will become skilled enough to make them forget about the trap you set or push them into the trap. For example, you've made this trap on a location, of course they will avoid it, so you, force them to that spot, destroy the ground behind them, run backwards make distractions on either side. Remember, rp is almost like a game of chess, you don't win with just force, you need a plan.
#copypasteskills
(Doton: Doro Ookami) - Earth Release: Mud WolvesThis is a rather interesting technique used by Sekiei. Although we didn't actually see (or rather I) how he set it up, the effects are very cool as a trap. The way I assume it works based on observation, once you set it up, it creates mud or uses existing mud in the area to camouflage the technique/scroll. This allows it to go undetected by non-sensory type shinobi (i.e. Byakugan, Inuzuka). Based on what Kiba mentioned, the chakra spreads throughout the area and upon contact by the enemy, it creates these mud wolves that then attack the foreign chakra that came in contact with it. Of course unlike the anime where there were litterally dozens of these wolves, our rp limited to three at any one time but comes at a cost of chakra. I like this but I am not keen on using traps in general though this one could have its use with the right strategy especially if you take into account that it gives off your chakra. Could use it as both a lure and distraction. The drawback of using traps in this rp is the fact people know you are making the traps especially in these one on one battles. Works good if you're smart and use it on a landmark when in a village or in general in the NW.Rank: B

(Doton no Yoroi) - Earth Release ArmorPretty straightforward since it resembles the Assimilated Earth technique we learned earlier. You basically release your chakra from yourself to form into rock. This is versatile because it can both act as one time technique or you can make it last as long as you have the chakra to fuel it or is canceled (voluntarily or involuntarily). I wonder though, what does resistant mean in this technique? Does it mean you receive no damage or something else? Also, while its protective abilities are great, the downside is the loss in speed. But if you are smart with it, you don't have to move much as your opponent will usually always attack you one way or another. The second big question I have is the speed of it. How fast can it be made? This is important to me because I want to know how it will work in combos with taijutsu. By the way, the boost to taijutsu is sweet. :3Rank: B

(Doton Kekkai: Dorō Dōmu) - Earth Style Barrier: Earth Prison of Magnificent NothingnesslolRank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20 (-50 chakra each turn the opponent is inside the dome)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After striking the ground with their hands, the user overturns the earth, causing it to rise up around his opponent(s). Then, by placing his/her hands against the dome, the user is able to drain out the chakra from the people trapped inside and absorb it into their own body. At the same time, the user will use their own chakra to spread throughout the dome. This allows the user to repair any damage their opponent(s) manage to inflict on the inside.
Note: Can only be used by Jirobo
The anime/manga explained this well. You cause the earth to rise up and then form a dome around and over the target. Using your chakra to maintain it may seem unnecessary at first but the fact it also drains chakra as well helps cover the costs and them some. This cycle is able to repair any damage the dome incurs from the target trying to escape. If I remember correctly, the oxygen inside becomes thinner and thinner which should eventually knock out the user if not kill him but that's based on my speculation from what I saw in the anime. The strong point of the dome is the side the user is placing his hands on while the opposite end is the weakpoint which the target can exploit. However, the team was only able to know its weakpoint by using Neji's Byakugan which makes me think that unless you have some form of chakra perception (Sensory or Doujutsu), there is no real way to find out unless you either metagame your way out of it or use a long, drawn out analysis from observation. Regardless though, what strikes me as interesting is Jirobos ability to drain chakra using an earth technique. Don't know if its limited to him or just this specific technique. Too bad you have to be Jirobo to use doe. xD
(Doton: Domu) – Earth Release: Earth Spear TechniqueSo...the other one formed rocks on you and this one...makes your skin stronger? Very similar in its application but I assume this version is much faster and less restrictive, correct?Rank: B

Description: After performing the Snake hand seal the user will channel their chakra throughout their entire body, which then hardens their skin to a steel-like quality. This increases their defensive power to the utmost limits. The user’s skin also becomes much darker, an almost black colour. The destructive power of physical attacks is increased, making this a great, all purpose technique. But this technique when activated leaves the user vulnerable to lightning based techniques.
Note: Kakuzu bios can use this technique without the need for handseals
So after watching the episode, there is not much to go on but considering Kakuzu bios can use without handseals makes it more deadly in the right hands. It looks to be quite fast in its application which already makes it more ideal than the rock technique we learned earlier. I think that you have to weigh your options when using either if your not Kakuzu. While the rock technique can be made without handseals, it still drains chakra if you plan to maintain it and you lose speed. The earth spear requires a handseal but only works once I assume considering it only drains chakra once. The first one I mentioned should be used when doing it in conjunction with taijutsu and the second one would be more useful when defending from techniques. Regardless, they are both weak to lightning which the user needs to take into account. Both are good earth techniques but I would like to hear what experiences you had with the earth spear. Or more specifically, how fast is it and if I am right that it can only be used once (meaning if it can be maintained or not).
(Doton: Iwa Keiro) – Earth Style: Rock TrailAnother straighforward technique. Only usable in mid-range, this technique allows you to create jagged rocks that rise up to skewer your target if he falls on top of it. The faster the target falls on it the deadlier it becomes. Best to use in combination with a technique that makes your opponent airborne and we know there are plenty of those. Once airborne, you just have to send them crashing down. I am not sure but this may be one that Oonoki uses in the game in which he creates the rocks short range of himself that start of small and then build up into larger rocks until it reaches mid range. Regardless, it is a nice technique especially as a set up as it forces your enemy to move unless he wants to get hit.Rank: B

(Doton: Nentsuchi Otoshi) – Earth Release: Sticky Earth DropOne of NB's famous techniques. It's an effetive technique if you have a strategy in mind aside from the combo we are given which was based on what the ANBU did. This attack from above pressures your enemy to to counter it which you could then follow up with a good fire technique that comes from the ground. Aside from that, it is made of sticky mud which also is surprisingly heavy. This is a good way to stop your opponent or at least slow him down. It's tricky to combat this as lightning would neutralize the earth chakra but wouldn't it still be sticky mud or would the lightning make it clay. Or is that fire that makes it clay only? You could use water to dissipate it but considering it is coming from above, the best solution would be to use a defensive technique like a dome right?I assume this technique was developed for disabling summons as they are quite large and most move slower or no? xDRank: B
