Another one bites the dust. O^O

 

[Kirikoe]

Another one bites the dust. O^O

An inspiring start to our training Sensei U_U Absolutely mind blowing.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Yes, so enlighten me, what is EArth Release? What is Earth, and how are we connected with such?

 

[Kirikoe]

What is Earth​

Hm, how to explain what earth is.. Earth is what we live on, Its all around us, the ground we stand on, the grass, even our buildings in some cases, without the earth we cannot live. A lot of creatures thrive off the nutrients in the earth such as plants and insects and the earth gets these nutrients when the bodies of the living return to the earth once again, once our bodies decompose we become fertiliser for the earth making it more rich in nutrients, its what we call the great circle of life I suppose.

Earth is often considered to be the sturdiest of the elements, the most rigid, an unmovable obstacle.

Within Martial arts the earth element is what we consider to be our stance. A solid, powerful and unmovable stance creates a strong martial artist and only when we can utilise all 5 elements together in unison, working together without hindering another can a martial artist truly be complete.

Explaining the earth itself is quite a tricky aspect without delving into philosophy I suppose so lets leave it there.

What is Earth Release​

Earth Release is one of the 5 basic elemental nature transformations within our RP, Its strengths are really shown against the water element where as lightning completely overshadows the earths strength, Earth release is what we ninja use in order to manipulate and use the earth around us and in some cases even create it, it is what we use in order to aid us in attacking and defending, earth release itself can take various forms such as mud and slush among other forms, this is due to the ability to change the earths density and mass which can be increased or decreased thus turning the earth into another form, it can make the earth as strong and as study as steal itself or make it soft like clay or sand.

Due to the sheer amount of different things we can do with earth release it is widely regarded as one of the most versatile of elements compared to the others making it something devastating to fight in combat.

Earth release is one of the elements that consists within other powerful elements such as Lava release, Wood release as well as dust release, some of these elements have been shown to be some of the most devastating to exist.

Some of the most notable earth release users would be Kakashi of the sharingan, Onoki and Hiruzen

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

I think that will do. o_o

Okay, so... *Sits* Sit along with me. Lotus position preferely.

 

[Kirikoe]

"Right then, shall do Sensei!"

Sits alongside Sensei in the lotus position awaiting further instruction

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Feel the earth. Deep breaths, first of all be ignorant of your chakra and feel the earth as I say. Be one with it, feel the texture, the composition and overall life that sprouts within it. Once so, I will have you enhance your ''infusion'' with your chakra. Tell me both experiences.

 

[Kirikoe]

Taking a deep breath Kirikoe relaxes, his shoulder begin to slouch as he relaxes and Kirikoe begins to fall into a type of trance like state evident when looked into the eyes, a clear sign of Kirikoe trying to become one with the earth itself and feel its everlasting life, feeling the earth beneath him, its rough yet smooth texture, its ever-changing state, the worms that move beneath it and the ants that crawl above it, the birds in contact with it pecking at the worms beneath and the plants that breathe above it, Kirikoe was aware of it all experiencing its splendour.

It was a calm feeling, yet exciting, feeling the earth give birth to such life was incredible a strong shield for the young life to soon flourish, a sturdy and generous element

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Now, do this for seven days and nights! *Goes somewhere reading a book or smth*

 

[Kirikoe]

O-O Kirikoe, maintaining the lotus position stayed there for seven days and nights, listening as the noise of the crickets would come and go and simply felt nature flow by and follow its natural course.

Upon Amaimons return after the 7 days and nights passed he would come back to see Kirikoe still in the lotus position as skinny as a skeleton due to lack of food .-.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

You're free to change your wet breeches and other clothing need be. Ontop of so, take a shower and get some food. I left a plate with hardbread and old cheese by the tree. z.z Chop, chop.

 

[Kirikoe]

*Wheezes from being so skinny like an old man* "Thank you Sensei", slowly getting himself up Kirikoe slowly walks towards the tree, eats without a second though and changes his clothing, "Ahh much better Sensei! So, Whats next?"

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

*Hands you a leaf*

Put it between your palms. o-o

 

[Kirikoe]

*Hands you a leaf*

Put it between your palms. o-o

*Takes the leaf and puts it between my palms*

Ready sensei :|

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Now much like you did your wind training, I want you to this time, instead of focusing your wind chakra into the leaf and cut it in half - I want you to channel your earth chakra into the leaf, and eventually cause it to crumble away.

 

[Kirikoe]

"Right" With this Kirikoe gave a nod to his Sensei and proceeded to put to practice what he had currently learned, changing his chakra's nature to earth he recalled the properties and the feeling of the earth itself, its roughness and smoothness, its durability and flexibility among other things.

Kirikoe went over this process numerous times and finally began to channel chakra into the palms of his hands where the leaf would be waiting, to begin with nothing happened however after a few more minutes Kirikoe began to get the feeling for the earth nature and soon the leaf began to turn to earth and it crumbled in the palm of his hands, With a sigh of relief and a proud expression he raised his hands above himself in triumph... of course forgetting he had crumbled earth in his hands causing it to pour over his head however it was no matter Kirikoe had finally made his first steps to learning Doton.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

*Facepalms* Right, so try and focus your new found ability, into the ground. Forcefully enchant the ground to do your bidding and raise a pillar. This should prove much more difficult at first hand, untill you get adept.

 

[Kirikoe]

"Ok Sensei"

Kirikoe remembering the feel of the chakra he had used to turn the leaf into earth channelled this very same chakra into the earth just in front of him, using this chakra Kirikoe attempted to manipulate the earth he was focusing on into a pillar, taking a fair amount of concentration Kirikoe began to raise a pillar of earth just in front of him, albeit it was a little slow at first but he completed it non the less.

Trying a second time once he got the feel for it he channelled his doton chakra into the earth once more and manipulating the earth he formed a second pillar next to the first, this pillar shot out faster and looked much more stable than the first one and it seemed to take a little less concentration for Kirikoe to do it.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

*The earth shakes slightly.*

Nothing seems to be happening. z___z *Gibbs slaps you.* Try again, focus a bit harder. Perhaps make use of the typical hand sign related with earth techniques for better manipulation.
