[Doton] Playing in the dirt

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Perfect, just what I wanted to hear. Mud seemingly is much more flammable than we would think, it almost makes it molten in the Narutoverse. We shall move on then.

(Doton: Doryudan) - Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: When used with Earth Release: Earth Flow River, the user will then perform the Ram → Horse → Dragon they can create a dragon-like head that fires concentrated mud bullets at an opponent. This can also be combined with a fire jutsu to shoot lava toward an opponent. The dragon can be created from other mud techniques as along as a mud source is available.

(Doton: Doryū Taiga) - Earth Release: Earth Flow River
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After forming the needed hand seal (Tiger), the user transforms the ground underneath their opponent into a river of mud that throws them off balance and carries them away from the user. The mud created by this technique can also be used as a medium for the Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet technique.

Much akin to what we praticed earlier with the simple use of the earth technique, I want you to forcefully create a dozen of rock pillars in order to imprison your target, immobilizing them. *Shows hand signs*

 

[Kirikoe]

Channelling his chakra underground, Kirikoe performs the necessary hand-seals, this in turn causes an area where Kirikoe's chakra was focused to burst forth with rock pillars, the rock pillars would rise from the ground, surrounding the opponent or in this case the dummy in a stone like prison stopping their movements.

(Doton: Ganchūrō no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Rock Pillar Prison Technique
Rank: C
Type: Defence/supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After performing the required hand seals Rat → Horse → Dog → Snake and they then create a large amount of rock pillars to rise from under ground. They can then be controlled to surround their opponent and create a bamboo-like prison of rock.

Punch the ground ultlizing your earth chakra, causing the area infront of you in the shape of a rectangle, to erupt into an 90 degrees angle. This pertains only the surface of the ground, creating something that would look akin to a door infront of you for defensive means.

 

[Kirikoe]

Ok~

Kirikoe channels his Doton chakra into his right fist, once completed extending his right fist into the ground below he punches the ground with great force aided by his Doton chakra, this causes the ground to lift up at the other end as Kirikoe punches down on the other until a rectangle of earth is left standing vertically on the field which could block incoming projectiles or low level techniques.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Having someone stand upon it. Tihihi O^O O'Catapult. Nonetheless, moving on.

Wave your hand skywards, while in co-junction with your hand, cause your earth chakra to expell in the form of mud from the earth, in a streaming river that easily can knock the feet away beneath your opponent. This can only be used infront of you. e_e

Nonetheless, go ahead.

 

[Kirikoe]

Kirikoe, waving his hand upwards towards the bright sky focuses his earth chakra in the ground, causing the earth chakra as he lifted his hand to summon a river of mud from the earth in front of himself, this would cause unbalance to anyone in its wake.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Pros, cons?

 

[Kirikoe]

Pro's - It causes unbalance and can be easily used in conjunction with other elements such as water or fire, Water would increase the flow of the river in general, where as fire would cause burning river of flames, its also possible to combine it with other earth techniques such as added weight rock technique where you could petrify the mud itself catching anyone who is in the mud at the time stopping movements.

Con's - Its fairly weak, judging by the rank the amount of mud generated likely isn't a massive amount meaning the damage its bound to cause is going to be low, a simply earth technique could stop the mud in its wake by simply putting up an obstacle to change its direction of flow, I must add that the big arm motion is enough to cause an opponent to be wary of anything to come.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Superb. Mind you, I expect pros and cons from now on. Okay? <.<

(Doton: Doro Hōshi) - Earth Release: Mud Spore
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
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.

*Shows a sequence of hand signs.*

Perform these and follow by slamming your palm against tthe ground. In turn, cause a platform to arise from the ground which will then split down the middle in order to create a fissure, also working as a functional sponge like creation. It drags roots, veins and all that earthly stuff with it up. Go ahead and try it.

 

[Kirikoe]

Aye Aye Sensei!

Kirikoe watches his sensei demonstrate a sequence of hand-signs, once thoroughly memorised Kirikoe performs them himself followed by his right palm quickly slamming against the ground whiles channelling his chakra underground, this causes the earth to fracture and break apart forming a large fissure within the earth, this in turn causes anything caught in the vicinity to get dragged into the chasm.

Pro's - Nice technique, good for getting rid of techniques that cover the field such as Sand, Lava, mud ect. good for creating a bit of distance between you and the opponent, different ranks means the potential for much more grander scale versions.

Con's - a fair amount of hand-seals and cannot be used offensively.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

yup yup.

Spoiler

(Doton: Doryūkatsu) - Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide
Rank: C-A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 15-30
Damage Points: N/A
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.

Ultilizing the snake hand sign followed by slamming your fist against the ground, cause the ground infront of you to become heavily turned up with chunks of rubble popping out of the ground. Blunt damage, or perhaps even piercing if the rocks that pop up are rigid at the edges. <.<

 

[Kirikoe]

Kirikoe channels his earth chakra underground upon forming the snake hand-sign, he quickly followed up by slamming his right fist violently into the ground causing the earth in front of him to turn up with chunks of earth, jagged, sharp and sometimes blunt changing the battlefield slightly.

Pro's - I like this one, can cause people to lose balance if they are running towards you as it could disrupt your footing and at the same time cause you to fall down on a jagged spike, by utilising the uneven aspect of the earth it could be a good way to disrupt others technique making them take a different course and also possibly a good defence.

Con's - I admit the hand sign and then punching action could be considered a bit much but I personally don't see many con's with this technique, Maybe the fact that since its a C rank technique that it can be considered low scale and relatively weak to really do much damage however I think it has more strengths than con's

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Okay, okay, next.

Spoiler

(Doton: Tsuchi Douyou no Hira) – Earth Release: Earth Shaking Palm
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary/Offensive/Defensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: After performing snake hand seal the user slams their hand on the ground. The result is that the ground becomes heavily turned up with chunks of rubble popping out of the ground. This technique is used as a means to distract opponents to either create an escape or follow through with a surprise attack although it can also do some damage or be udes to destroy enemy earth techniques of equal rank and bellow.

Next form the snake hand sign and expell earth chunks throughout your gullet and encase your fist forming an earthen glove. ''Fits like a glove'' Eh? Now harden said glove and use it to punch something for improved damage. z.z

 

[Kirikoe]

forming the snake hand-seal Kirikoe focuses earth chakra in his gullet after which he expels a coat of earth onto his right fist forming a coat of armor almost, quickly testing out the new glove Kirikoe smashes his fist into the ground causing the ground to crack however leaving his hand protected from damage.

Pro's - Good to be used in conjunction with taijutsu as well as the added weight rock technique, Imagine using this to punch your opponent downwards then add the added weight technique for some real devastation.

Con's - It is a shame that this technique doesn't expel from the pores of your hand to form the earth glove but it makes no difference I suppose, the fact that the hand-seal and then the expelling of earth from your mouth is present that it slows this technique down considerably making it less effective for sudden uses which is what taijutsu usually is.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Superb. Let's move on.

Spoiler

(Doton: Kengan no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Fist Rock Technique
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: After performing the snake → Seal of Confrontation and then by encasing their arm in rock, the user can deal a powerful hardened punch against an opponent while being protected from direct contact with their target. If necessary, the weight of the rock can be increased to further increase the punch's destructive power through the Earth Release: Added Weight Technique or the Earth Release: Super Added Weight Technique.

Wield your katana, and wave it before you. Preferly horizontally. The next earth technique is done through the application of a swayed weapon. Once swaying you weapon cause an upward avalanche of dust to arise from the ground before in a wall-like manner. The dust screen stays for appoximately 3 turns unless blown away.

 

[Kirikoe]

Kirikoe bends down low channelling his earth chakra into the ground and placing his right hand on the hilt of his Katana, his left hand just below holding the sheath, using his thumb from his left hand he pushes the sword out of the sheath ever so slightly revealing but a centimeter of the blade, once the blade had been revealed using his right hand, with one swift motion he draws his Katana, slashing in a horizontal motion cutting through the air within this same motion he re-sheaths his blade sheathing it at quickly as he drew it, performing Iaido in a magnificent manner.

Kirikoe, as his blade slashed through the air caused the loose dust and debris of the earth to rise whiles doing so, this caused the dust and debris to form a smoke screen effect obstructing vision of the opponent in the process.

Pro's - The fact this can be utilised with a weapon means this would be great in combat, particularly with a sword or sharp bladed weapon, both attacking and hindering the opponents vision in the same process, Whats even better is there is potential for this to be used without a weapon I believe, swinging your arm instead of the blade, I see a lot of potential in this.

Con's - Easy to counter through the application of wind release, does nothing but obstruct vision, requires hand motion or weapon motion to do so.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

Superb.
We will now be moving on then.

Spoiler

(Doton: Hokoriheki no Jutsu ) - Earth Release: Dust Wall Technique
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user will manipulate their chakra releasing it into the ground and with a wave of their arm or through the application of a weapon can cause a small wall of dust particles and sand to rise up from the ground and thrusting forwards. This technique creates a simple dust screen that will fade away after 3 turns.

Ultiizing your earth, exert that chakra onto the top of your fist or inside your palm, when either throwing a punch or palm strike, further ultilize the earth exuding a bullet of hardened rock to emit from your hand. You can also spew it out orally, which starts out being mud but then hardens.

Pros, cons, perform.

 

[Kirikoe]

Moulding his chakra, Kirikoe begins to take a generic combat stance, focusing the newly moulded chakra to his fist without further waiting he thrusts out his fist with great speed and intensity, this caused the earth chakra gathered when thrusting out his fist to fire off a bullet of mud which soon hardened into solid rock.

Pro's - Useful for using as an extension with taijutsu, very flexible it can be used from the limbs and orally which makes it useful even if your hands are full. Starts off as mud, this allows even more uses of the technique.

Con's - Not A rank .-. honestly though I don't see much wrong with this technique at most all I can say is that it takes time for the mud to harden into rock however enough mud condensed together is strong enough to cause an impact.

 

[Gobi Gobletsson]

It will be near instantanous that it will harden. Don't worry about that. We will proceed.

Spoiler

( Doton: Iwa Dangan ) - Earth Release: Rock Bullet
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user manipulating their chakra will point their palm or fist at the opponent, creating a large rock on it which he then sends at the opponent. Alternatively, the user can "spit" the rock. In this case he will spit a large globule of mud which hardens mid way towards the opponent into a large rock.

The next two are very generic, and similiar to Bedrock Coffin. Clap your hands together in order to rise up two segments of earth from either side of your opposing target. Make them crash against him, sending him hurling backwards.

 

[Kirikoe]

As Kirikoe begins to mould his chakra he focuses the newly made chakra into the ground below, after this process had been completed his hands slam together and two segments of earth rise up either side of the training dummy, the two segments of earth hastily crash together crushing the opponent.

Pro's - A fairly quick technique, possible to be used as an attack and defence by placing the two segments in different positions such as one segment being in front of the user and the other segment behind the opponent, the first segment protects the user albeit with a small defence whiles the other can attack freely, this is of course as long as we have some flexibility with where we raise the two segments of earth, I suppose it should be fine as long as the two segments are parallel with each other.

Con's - As said its quite generic, I personally do not see to many problems with this bar from the fact that its a little weak and that its very obvious to see.
