Appearing before you in a stealthy manner, Kakuzu focuses his doton chakra beneath you to form a miniature version of Swamp of the Underworld, which causes you to sink lower and lower by the second.
Tell me everything you know about Doton as fast as you can. I will only dispel the technique once I'm satisfied with your answers.
*Shocked*
Sinking into the ground, I take a moment to recall sensei question, answering as fast as I can: Doton is one of the basic element, it is the dirt and sand around us that is underneath out feet, it is solid and rough. Earth is weak to lighting and stronger than water.
*catching my breath* Doton release is initiated with the snake hand seal, It release is manipulating and transforming any nearby rock, sand or mud.(earth), the release is done by changing the strength and composition,density of the earth. Unlike other element it doesn't need a pre-existing earth to perform.
*stretch out my arm*
Kakuzu listens attentively to his students recollection of Earth release, before letting out a sigh of exasperation. Her explanation contained many of the essential points, but did not explain them in enough depth. He cancels the technique anyway, she was now neck-deep in the swamp and moments away from being full submerged. He extends his arm towards her and effortlessly lifts her out of the swamp.
"Far too basic, but I guess your explanation will suffice. I'll give you a run down of all of the basic elements (especially Doton), to flesh out your understanding. Make sure to commit this to memory, it will be useful knowledge for the future. Once you've read and understood the following, we will continue."
Earth Release is often considered the element of sturdiness and durability. Unlike other elements which come and go with time, it is an ever eternal presence in the environment which endures all types of weather regardless of how harsh conditions become. Earth can be used as a shield or blockade defensively to dissipate the force of powerful waves of water or non-cutting gusts of wind. It can withstand great heats, acting as a heat sink but also as a physical barrier to prevent weapons passing through. Its strong against water, its natural ability to prevent water from passing through it whilst passing through water itself is a reason for this.However its weak against lightning. The lightning conducted along the earth causes it to break up, lose its natural composition and break down due to the penetrative abilities of Raiton. Doton can either be used in this solid rocky form or its adhesive mud-like variant, granting the element further versatility. As well as the conventional uses of the element, the mud variant can be used to bind opponents in place, clash with other elemental jutsus or be used in many effective combinations. The mud-variant is most commonly used along with Fire to form pseudo-lava (molten mud), making for a very dangerous substance.
Along with Suiton, its versatility stems from the state of matter it naturally occurs in. Due to having physical substance, Doton can be shaped into various structures from defensive walls to jagged spikes, from an earth dragon to a single pillar of earth. Furthermore, in terms of terrain-based advantage, Doton can be used to manipulate the ground beneath and around the opponent, allowing for limitless potential in creating successful combos. I like to think of the element as the perfect balance between offensive, defensive and supplementary usage, as no confines exist on what the user can create.
Wind Release is the element that allows us to create and manipulate wind. When you think of wind you think of something that is fast, free flowing, unpredictable, and strong. In the Narutoverse and in our RP, wind release has a variety of different properties which makes it versatile in its own right. For one, we have the ability to create long and short powerful gusts of flowing wind. Mainly these techniques that are designed to provide resistance against oncoming attacks, reversing the trajectory of weaponry, etc. We can also create short concentrated/compressed bursts of wind that give a pseudo solid form which can be used for blunt force or strong impacts. These would mainly be offensive in nature. There is also vacuum or suction power that can be generated, drawing objects in for close combat or sucking away the oxygen for suffocation. However, one of the more prominent abilities of wind release that we’ve come to know from the Narutoverse is the powerful cutting power that it possesses. Mainly from characters like Naruto, Asuma, and Sora, the wind nature has been shown to be able to slice and cut through things like butter. Wind is the movement of many gases in the air, though we’ve been shown to manipulate just the air itself and call it wind release by comparison due to the relationship.
Water is the most calm and free-flowing elements. These characteristics dictate its nature, making it useful in combat due to the fluidity and intense lack of control that is required to utilize it. Lightning and Fire take extreme control, but manipulation of water takes calmer movements and so controlling it comes more naturally. While its the calmest element, it can also become one of the most destructive. Putting a large amount of force behind of wave gives it power that can't be paralleled by all the other elements. In terms of scale, Water has the highest potential to be the "best" element, a clear testament of this is Kisame of the Akatsuki. Water comes in three main forms: normal water, sticky water and oily flammable water.
Lightning Release is the use of high frequency and is the most fleeting of all the elements. It arguably takes the most control due to its dangerous nature and the lethality it possess. The interaction of the molecules within it, further contribute to its level of instability, requiring the user to take much more care in handling this element compared to the others. Fundamentally, its the control over raw streams of electricity which can be tamed with the right control, it relates most to the Fire element due to its destruction if not contained or used properly and the high level of self-control someone requires to manipulate it correctly. One common misconception is that Lightning release travels as fast as natural lightning, when in reality Lightning is far slower than its naturally occurring counterpart due the user taking control of/taming the lightning. The element itself occurs in three main forms: Normal Lightning, Plasma and pale-blue pillars which emit electricity.
Fire Release is the usage of superheated chakra to create flames and heat-intensive attacks. Its created through channeling Katon chakra to the user's lungs and exhaling the built chakra in various forms. Katon is most commonly used in its fire-based form, but it can also take the shape of a plume of superheated ash or a misty flammable gas. In terms of raw potential, its considered the least versatile element as it excels in offensive capabilities, lacks in supplementary usage and is ill-suited to use as a defensive element. Despite this, Katon is the most ferocious element to contend with due to its sheer raw power. The heat of the element makes it capable of reducing earthen structures to molten mud, the parasitic nature of it means it preys on the oxygen within wind-based attacks to supplement the flames and even against its elemental superior, large-scale Katon techniques are capable of reducing large bodies of water to scorching mist of dense steam. The Katon element has little usage outside of destruction, to a certain degree its the hardest elemental nature to tame due to its sporadic and uncontrollable nature.
She show sign of relief as he draw her out of the mud, she take a moment to appreciate being alive.

Descripton: Creates small pillars of earth, small tools, and small shields of earth
Alright, come over here and place both of your palms on the ground, before focusing your doton chakra into it. Mold your chakra and utilize it to change the structure of the ground itself to forcefully cause a single fairly blunt pillar of earth to rise out of the ground in between the space of your laid out palms. Take care, you could very well impale either of your hands if you lose concentration, even for a second. This technique can create nearly any earth-based construct you desire, as long as its small in magnitude and size. Its best used for making pillars, small tools, weapons ad shields.
Key points: One of the most useful lower ranking techniques. Its used quite commonly, due to its sheer versatility in battle. People tend to use it to create a pillar beneath them for aerial elevation, but when doing this make sure you specify that the pillar is blunt and will cause no damage when propelling you up into the air. Dodging via movement is sometimes more Charka-efficent than direct technique clashes, so always make sure to assess the situation correctly. Never use this jutsu to evade large scale attacks e.g. S-Rank Fire walls and streams.

Type: Supplementary/Offense
Range: Short
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.
You must be registered for see images
Now, break off the pillar you have raised from the ground and focus your chakra into it, utilizing your chakra to sharpen the blunt construct of rock into serrated spear which can be used as a melee or ranged weapon. All the while, make sure to maintain its form, so it doesn't crumble as you attempt to morph its structure. Once you're content with your spear, toss it towards the nearby targets and aim to strike the bull's eye.
She get up from her resting position and walk up to the spot he pointed, bending over she place her palm over the earth there, keeping a short distance from the earth. here we go
Clearing her mind from any distraction, she begin to concentrate her chakra around her palm region. Satisfied with the amount of chakra gathered around the palm she release it into the earth, the doton begin to react. Creating a image of what she want the gotten doton to emerge into in her mind she continue to release her chakra into the earth until a small amount of earth rise up, the doton is dull edged.
Recall the sensei said not to lose focus for even a second she keep her attention on the piece of earth.
Lifting up her palm alittle she release more chakra into the doton making it raise with her palm. She move one of her hand to the bottom of the doton and releasing chakra there the doton break off from the parent doton.
*tension*
She then sharp the blunt earth into a spear by first forming it into a long stick-shape doton then using her chakra she sharpen one edge of the stick shaped doton. Getting up from her crunch position she face the target. Moving one leg abit forward for balance she set to throw the spear, keeping her eye on the target and a firm grip on the spear she release.
Soon after you throw the earthen spear into the distance, Kakuzu focuses his fuuton chakra into the air around it before altering its flight path and sending it back towards you.
Remain calm and do not move. Follow my instructions exactly.

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.
I would like you to focus your doton chakra into your arm, whilst envisioning the nature of the element to generate a small ring of rocks around you. Then with a nonchalant flick of your arm, send the spinning ring of rocks towards your spear, intercepting it and causing the two techniques to destroy one another.
Key Points: Unsure if the rocks come from the ground or are a manifestation of your own chakra. Do not specify how you create the rocks, stick to the description of the technique to be safe.

Description: After performing the Rat hand seal, the user to control multiple sections of rock and move them around their opponent. The user then forms two gigantic sections that crush the opponent.
Now, I want you to perform the Rat Handseal before releasing your doton chakra into the ground below. Mold that same chakra to cause multiple sections of rock to rise up and around my clone (in a set formation). From those sections, I want you to form two gigantic sections of stone to crush my clone in between as they collide.
Key Points: Requires contact with the ground (you must be standing on it).
Shocked as the spear return back to her, kakuzu words ease up her tension. Focusing on her earth chakra, she release them around her and begin to morph the earth chakra into a ring. She does this to the rest of her released earth chakra till she had ring of rocks around her, swinging her arm slightly in a forward motion, the rocks move toward the spear destroying it. you had me worried Fø̲̣̣я̅ a minute there.
*moving on*
She watch as kakuzu form a clone. Konan does the rat hand seal then she channel her chakra into the nearby earth,manipulating the earth she make many portions of it around the clone to rise above the ground level, still in control, she form two gigantic rock from the many portions of rock, with the clone inbetween the rock, she crush him with the two gigantic rock. :O that felt good
Don't get used to it, I'd never allow myself to fall to such a petty tactic
(Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Hiding like a mole technique
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.
For this next technique, I want you to release your doton chakra into the ground below via your feet before utilizing that same chakra to alter the very consistency of the ground beneath you. Change the earth to a sandy-like composition, allowing you to dig through it as if you were a mole, hence the name of the jutsu. Whilst you move around underground, you must maintain this jutsu or suffer being crushed the moment you cease it. As you go underground, return the ground to its original appearance, leaving no trace of you entering the earth.
Key Points: Hmm...where to begin ? At first, this may seem like the ultimate evasion tactic, but do not be fooled. If your opponent sees you go underground, senses your presence underground and etc, you're finished. Jutsus which manipulate the earth itself e.g. sink holes and forming swamps, will leave you trapped beneath the earth's surface and most likely crushed/buried one way or another. Using this technique against Doijutsu users is more or less a no go. The same applies to sensors, the Kiyoshi and Binkan. Always make sure you know of your opponent's abilities, before attempting such a risky move. When I first started out, I died three times in a row trying to use this jutsu xD.
However, let's say the opponent doesn't see you go underground for whatever reason e.g. they lower the ground around you, severing the sight between you two. You could go underground and launch a successful surprise attack, killing them. You just have to weigh up the benefits and risks of attempting such a move.

Once you've gotten acquainted with moving around, I'd like you to emerge beneath my clone and pull him into the ground, leaving nothing but his head above the surface of the floor. Leave the ground as you do this, effectively trading places with him.
*Demolish plan* thanks Fø̲̣̣я̅ the heads up.
Channelling doton chakra to her feet, she release it into the earth distorting the earth composition into loose particle(sandy). As the earth around her become loose she dig into the ground to hid her presence. She dug deep enough into the ground then she manipulate her doton chakra to reverse the loose earth into its previous state. Now underground she continue to release her earth chakra manipulating the earth around her as she move. *Listen to sensei last instruction*
she move to the spot the clone would be on the surface .
Moving up to the clone she draw the clone into the ground by grabbing hold of his legs leaving only the head above the ground, she then comes out from the ground. I feel dirty, I think I look dirty x_x
Alright, the next two techniques are particularly useful. On first sight, they look like nothing special, however their applications are pretty diverse.
(Doton: Yochi no Douyou) - Earth Release: World Shaking
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will concentrate and release their chakra into the ground to create a small tremer that can result in harming the enemy target.
Now, I want you to focus your doton chakra into the ground to create a small tremor, barely an earthquake which shakes the ground. Use it to cause my clone in the not too far distance lose balance and fall onto the ground. The damage inflicted by this technique is minimal, so he should be alright. If you're wondering how to counter this technique, your best option is not countering it all. By the time you realize the ground is shaking, you'll lose your balance and possibly fall over. What harm is there in falling over ? Simply dust yourself and get back up. Do not expend chakra unless its necessary.
Key Points: Despite its low rank and minimal effects, this technique can be very useful in battle depending on how you decide to use it. If you're opponent is running at you or using a technique which requires them to run at you e.g. Rasengan, Chidori and etc, using this technique will cause them to lose their balance and potentially fall over. You can counter higher ranking techniques with a simple C-Rank.

(Doton: Ganchūsō) - Earth Release: Stone Spikes
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: This technique lets the user create a few rock pillars that will protrude from the ground to skew the target. The rock pillars will even pass through obstacles to reach their target
Once my clone falls onto the ground, before he can recover I want you to continuing focusing your chakra into the ground. Mold the chakra present in the ground to create a two sharp pillars of rock, using them to emerge beneath both of his feet and skewer the region up to his knees.
Key Points: The most important thing about this technique is knowing how to counter it. Techniques like this generate small vibrations that you can "feel" if you're standing on the ground. The moment you feel these vibrations, you're free to counter. The higher ranked the technique, the more intense the vibrations. At best, this technique would cause moderate vibrations, but it causes disturbance in the ground nonetheless.
Another nice way I learnt from Better to release Genjutsus is using this technique. If you're unsure and new to Genjutsu in our rp, basically when you're cast in one, you need to release it through a variety of methods. Inflicting pain on yourself is one of the methods, the higher ranked the Genjutsu, the more pain you need to inflict to dispel it. When you realize a Genjutsu, whether it paralyzes you or not, channel your doton chakra into the ground and cause a single spike of earth to emerge. Angle the spike the depending on how much pain you want to inflict.
If you're breaking a A-Rank or below gen, angle the spike to strike into your thigh or another part of your non-dominant leg.
If you're breaking S-Rank gen (and have no other options), angle the spike to emerge directly beneath one of your legs, to completely crush it up to the knee region. This will keep you standing up and block blood from gushing out of your body.
This method inflicts serious harm on to you and is only recommended if you have no other options. Sometimes this is the best method to use and so its better to take many wounds rather than fail to counter a Genjutsu. Also, this isn't a possible method to use when you're standing on water or a similar terrain. If you have a bio which can heal or take such wounds e.g. Hidan, Kakuzu, a medical shinobi, using Pain to release genjutsu is very tactical indeed. You don't waste a move countering one of their techniques by making full use of your bio's capabilities
*exhale*
I face your clone, now I concentrate my doton chakra around my feet then release it into the earth underneath my feet, I use my doton chakra to cause little vibration within the earth, this vibration cause a tremor to occur, the earth shaking makes your clone unbalanced and he fall to the ground. I continue to release my chakra into the earth, manipulating the earth nearby your clone's leg, I make two earth spike to arise from the ground, the spike would hit his knee region inflicting damage.

Description: The user spits a thick globule of mud at the target. If aimed correctly, it can blind the target's vision and choke them. It can also be used to create a sticky patch on the ground.
Alright, now we're going to attempt some mud-based techniques, an interesting variant of the Earth element. Focus your doton chakra into your mouth whilst envisioning the nature of doton. However, imagine the earth with a sticky, thick and liquid-like consistency, as if its been saturated with water or melted down to its molten state but its still devoid of heat. Now look directly at my clone and spit this built chakra at him in the form of a sizable globule of mud, aiming specifically for his eyes. Use it to blind his vision and sever the line of sight between you to.
Key Points: Useful technique to use when you want to block the line of sight between yourself and the opponent e.g. avoiding Eye contact for Genjutsus

Description: After forming the needed hand sealTiger, the user transforms the ground underneath their opponent into a river of mud that throws them off balance and 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.
Now, I want you to form the Tiger handseal and focus your doton chakra into the ground beneath my blinded clone, transforming it into a small river of mud which throws him off balance due to its slippery quality. The miniature river of mud will also carry him a small distance away from you, making this technique ideal for avoiding Taijutsu and close combat confrontations.

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 to fire concentrated mud at an opponent. This can also be combined with a fire jutsu to shoot lava toward an opponent.
In quick succession, perform the following three handseals and form the small river of mud into a dragon head shaped construct and send it in the direction of my disoriented clone. Along with this, I'll combine the fire counterpart of this technique with your mud dragon, creating for a molten mud combination attack which will melt through my clone's skin and deal severe wounds to him.
Key Points: I'm unsure if this technique can be used without Earth Flow River, however to be on the safe side make sure you only use it after previous jutsu.
~_~.
I begin to accumulate my doton chakra in my mouth, I ensure my mouth is closed before doing that, after I have concentrate enough doton chakra in my mouth,( that is upto my capacity of doton chakra I can gather in my mouth), I then try to relive the feeling of being in mud earlier, it kind of gross me out but I remind myself it all part of training, I am able to get the feeling back, my doton chakra would begin to take up that property. I then face your target and spit a chunk of mud at his eyes, blinding him.
Not wasting time I begin to channel chakra into the surrounding earth around the clone and I.
I make the tiger hand seal; using my chakra the earth would turn into a river of mud gradually, once made, the mud would cause the clone to fall and slide away from me becos the mud would be slippery.
I continue by channelling my doton chakra into the river of mud then make the following hand seal; ram, horse and dragon. Keeping the dragon hand seal intact, a dragon head made out of mud would emerge out of the river of mud. (I can control the mud dragon since my chakra is in it), I make the mud dragon face your clone and shoot harden mud at him destroying him. Question
- would a opponent be able to make use of my earth flow river
- would combining Water Style: Starch Syrup Capture Field with earth river flow increase the range to long
Good work, onto the next two techniques. These two will focus on entrapment, one of which will capture your opponent in a prison and the other will cause the earth formation to cave in on itself.

Alright, perform this sequence of four handseals before focusing your doton chakra into the ground below, using it to mold the ground beneath my clone. Utilize this chakra to generate multiple pillars of rock from the ground which converge on him, not attacking him but instead coming together to create a bamboo-like thicket of rock. The prison, regardless of whether or not the pillars its made of have sharp edges cannot be used to attack the opponent in any way. This is a purely supplementary/defensive type technique
Key Points: None which are note worthy
(Doton: Iwa Yado Kuzushi) - Earth Release: Stone Lodging Destruction
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid

Damage Points: N/A
Descripton: This technique allows the ninja to control nearby stone and rock. 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.
Now, continue on to focus your doton chakra into the ground, this time manipulating it to alter the structure of the bamboo prison you have just constructed. Loosen the rocks within the individual pillars, causing it to become too fragile to stand up on its own. The rocks will come raining down on top of him, resulting in a moderate cave-in which buries everything inside.
Key Points: Quite the useful jutsu, useful inside of caves and indoor surroundings.
Tx sensei but you didn't answer my question -_-.
*walk mid distance to your clone*.
I rise my arms upto my chest level , using both my hands I perform the following hand seal; rat, horse, dog and snake. As I make the last hand seal I begin to channel my doton chakra into the ground, my doton chakra would travel toward your clone, I then manipulate my doton chakra around your clone to make multiple pillars of earth emerge around him, the pillars would form a bamboo-like thicket
of rock around the clone, I control the pillars to enclose with the clone inside.
I continue to channel my doton chakra toward the ground, which travel toward the pillars, I use my chakra to alter the structure of the bamboo like thicket
of rock making it weak and unsteady, this would cause the pillars to crumble destroying the clone.
Would a opponent be able to make use of my earth flow river ?
If they pour in more chakra than you do (if they pour in B-Rank chakra or higher), yes they can make use of your river.
Would combining Water Style: Starch Syrup Capture Field with earth river flow increase the range to long ?
Yes, it should increase the range to long.(Doton: Doryūkatsu) - Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide

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.

For this next technique, I want you to perform the following handseal sequence: Rabbit → Boar → Rat → Horse → Tiger → Snake. After completing the sequence, focus your chakra into the earth below you, molding to manipulate ground itself to create a large split. Hence afterwards, manipulate both sides to curve and rise upwards.
Key Points: This is particularly useful in destroying enemy camps or settlements. During it battle, it can be used to act as a drainage-like system which water rushing towards you falling deep into the fissure.

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.
To perform this next technique, form the snake handseal before focusing your doton chakra into your dominant hand. Once the chakra is at your hand, strike the ground with your chakra coated hand. With the additional force from the Earth chakra, the ground will be turned up with chunks of rocks and a cloud of dust which will definitely block the vision of your opponent, unless he's a doujutsu user or capable of sensing you via other means.
Key Points: Not a bad jutsu, useful for Taijutsu fights.

Raising both my hand upto my chest level, I enclose my palm together in front of me and take a deep breath relieving myself of any stress then I proceed to make the rabbit hand seal,rat hand seal, boar hand seal,horse hand seal and the snake hand seal as fast as I could.
Then I mold my chakra around my stomach, gradually gathering a lot of chakra, I channel the chakra in my stomach into the earth underneath me using my leg as a medium,my legs would make contact with the earth, I spread my chakra around a wide region of the earth.
Maintaining focus on my chakra underground; I make my chakra travel far distance of me, making sure I am not going to be endangered by this technique. I command the earth to spilt into two by manipulating my chakra then at my will I make both halves rise above the ground level, as the earth rise there would be vibration but considering the distance it wouldn't affect me, I proceed to control my chakra to make the portion of earth curve outward of each other forming a mini valley as it completely emerge from the ground level.
Whew! that was stressful.

Remembering sensei kakuzu, I deduce
Rock is heavy, rock is hard and dense, it can't easily be penetrated through or destroyed unless by a higher force, also rock are tight bonded earth particle. I cease meditation.
With my left and right hand upto my chest level I form the snake hand seal and release it then begin channelling my doton chakra toward my left hand, I concentrate the collective chakra on the surface of my palm slam it to the ground.
My doton chakra would now travel into the earth and begin to distort its composition turning the surface earth into a pile of thick earth(rocks), the force I used to slam the ground would cause dust to arise as well.

Gather your chakra then perform the Snake then Seal of Confrontation. Once done, channel the gathered chakra through your chakra network and to your arm you wish to encase. Once the chakra is at the arm, manipulate it, mold it to create a covering of Earth. As I mentioned earlier, encasing it has several advantages, the most evident being able to deal a more powerful strike.
Key Points: Due to properties of Earth, the rock encasing has great mass, which increases the force of the user's fist. The other thing is, thanks to the rock encasing the arm, when striking certain substances/surfaces/persons, the user's hand is protected from harm such as burns or bone fracture. It's a great addition for Taijutsu techniques. It can be further strengthened by using it along with the Added/Light Weight techniques.
(Doton: Ton'neru chika no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Tunneling Technique

Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long

Damage points: N/A
Description: The user after performing the required hand seals Ram → Dog → Rat → Bird is able to create a wide tunnel in the ground, this cannot travel through rock though or anything with a high density. The large tunnel that is created allows the user to transport others without detection.
Note: The initial entry of the technique is short range.

To perform it, gather your Earth chakra then channel it through your chakra nework and into the ground below you. Perform the Ram → Dog → Rat → Bird , then use the chakra to manipulate the Earth, create an opening large enough for someone to pass through. The tunnel is started short range from the user, but it can extend to the widest range.
Key Points: If you specialize in Doton or can get this jutsu off in time, its a useful evasionary tactic. In my fight against Songbird/Luna, she used it particularly well.
