Some Earth stuff...

[Shinta]

Nice description of the underground lava jutsu xd

I begin by slamming my hands on the ground, injecting a fair amount of my doton chakra into it. I send this chakra to the ground under your clone, which I manipulate to start spinning inwards to the point where your clone is standing. This also draws in nearby objects as it pulls your clone underground, looking like a whirlpool...

I'm sure I did something very similar to this in the c-ranks xd But this one must just do it better O__O"

 

[Adachi]

Good. So how might this apply to the concept of zoning in general?

 

[Shinta]

If I made the epicentre of the whirlpool in an to my targets left, it would allow him time to move out of the way and possibly into another jutsu that I could use after they try to move. I could use this to zone the target quite well by creating it where I don't want them to be and leaving the area where I want him to be, unaffected. There I could put the earth trap jutsu you taught me a while ago, the one with the three mud wolves.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent.

(Doton: Arijigoku no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Antlion Technique
Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Mid/Long
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user performs the Ram hand seal and causes causes the ground and everything on and around it to be sucked in towards the middle of a large pit, much like the method an antlion uses to catch prey. Upon being dragged to the centre, the victim will then be sucked underground. There the victim, depending on how deep the user makes them sink, will be trapped and/or suffocated. The range of the pit is determined by how much chakra is put into the technique.

On to the next jutsu. I want you to form the Tiger handseal, and then send your chakra into the earth below you. Push all your chakra up at once to create a rampart.
What jutsu can you combo this with?
Also, how does this benefit your view of the battlefield?

 

[Shinta]

I begin by gathering up a lot of earth chakra, I then perform the Tiger hand seal while sending my chakra under the ground I stand on. I use this chakra to push this earth upwards about 10 meters, creating a rampart that gives my a better view of the battle field.

I could combo with this jutsu by using a shadow clone to use a water jutsu that releases heaps of water onto the field to flood the field below (Kisames jutsu he used against Gai and his team... whatever it is called).

Also while on top of the rampart I can see terrain and the opponents much better as I have the uphill advantage, making it difficult to launch an attack up at me.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent. xD

Doton: Doryū Jōheki) - Earth Release: Earth Flow Rampart
Rank: B
Type: Defence/Supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: By performing the Tiger hand seal the user then makes a gigantic rampart rise up beneath the user's feet, by shaping the ground and increasing the amount of earth with chakra. Depending on what the user imagines, the shape of the rampart can be anything from level ground to a steep, needle-like mountain. 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.

For this next one, please send your chakra into the ground and then start "rolling" it, almost like a snowball to become a huge earth-shaped sphere.
Then, proceed to lift that sphere with your inhuman strength, hurling it at my clone as you do so.

I thought it said dumpling on the description. xD

 

[Shinta]

Dumpling! I love dumplings xd

I begin by sending my doton chakra into the ground in front of me, I then use both hands to grab a piece of earth as I begin to push it on over itself. I continue this process as I roll it into a huge earthen sphere. Then, using my inhuman strength, I lift up the sphere and throw it at your clone which crushed him and causes massive devastation to the surrounding area.

 

[Adachi]

O_O Somehow I am very unsatisfied with your move, but oh well. xD

Rank: B
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: The user With chakra work and superhuman strength, lifts up the very surface of the Earth. The lump of earth is gigantic and, the destructive power is obvious, but even just the visual impact can be enough to make enemies lose their fighting spirits and run away. The ball of earth is then hurled it at his opponent, flattening everything in its path.

Okay, first, perform the handseals of Tiger → Hare → Boar → Dog, and then create a huge dam wall before you. You can make this from spitting it out from your mouth or manipulating the ground.
What could this block against?

 

[Shinta]

O__O

I begin by performing the Tiger → Hare → Boar → Dog hand seals as I gather up my doton chakra. I then send it into the ground in front of me where I use it to manipulate the earth, pushing it upwards to create a missive wall of earth and rock. I use more of my earth chakra to give the wall more stability as it stands, ready to protect me.

I can use it to block against large water jutsu, and possibly cause it to bounce back towards the opponents or redirect the water off to one side. If would also help to shield me from a large fire jutsu though I wouldn't want to be near the wall as they collide with each other.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent job. It's pretty dam straightforward and blocks better than that C-Rank crap.

(Doton: Doryuheki) - Earth Release: Earth Style Wall Jutsu
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will first perform the Tiger → Hare → Boar → Dog and then creates a solid wall of earth as a form of defence. Chakra is either converted to earth within the body and then spat out to form the wall or the user can manipulate pre-existing earth to form the wall. The earth then instantly rises up and takes form. The barrier itself is also coated with chakra, making its strength incomparable to that of a normal mud wall. Because of the earth's special characteristics, the wall is highly resistant against, for instance, fire and water. Hizuren Sarutobi spits mud from his mouth to perform the jutsu whilst Kakashi creates a wall composed of bulldog sculptures to box-in Pain.

For this next one, please proceed to step towards a rock next to you, and then focusing your chakra throughout your body, try and "become one" into the rock by stepping into it and blending with it.
How might you use this weird one? O_O

 

[Shinta]

Alright, I begin by walking towards a large rock off to my left. As I approach it I channel my doton chakra all through my system as I place my hand on the rock. With my hand on the rock I try to emulate the properties of it by using my chakra to change my bodies properties so it becomes hard and dense like the rock. Now, I step into the rock, using my chakra to merge my body with the rock to become one with it.

In battle I could use it to hide in the rock or to step out of the way of an incoming water jutsu (or one that won't smash the rock apart)/

 

[Adachi]

Yes, and also, don't forget you can hide it and scare little kids too. O_O

Description: This is a technique that allows its user to blend into rocks and then move in and out of other rocks undetected.
Note: Can only blend through on B rank and below Earth Techniques

Now, please proceed to perform the Bird handseal and then take up the mud and stone from the ground, formulating them into spikes that pierce my clone. Be specific on where you aim this.

 

[Shinta]

I always forget about scaring little kids xd

After gathering my earth chakra and injecting it into the ground under your clone, I then perform the Bird hand seal and use my chakra to lift up mud and rocks from the ground. As I lift them up with my chakra, I shape them in to large spikes, sharp enough to stab through your clone. I am these spikes to protrude from behind your clone, stabbing him in the back of his calf's to immobilise him, while using several others to stab him in his back.

 

[Adachi]

Hm...nothing wrong I can see.

(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.

Next, first make the handseals of Tiger → Rat → Snake , and then send your Doton Chakra throughout the ground and into this cave I create.
Use your chakra to sense the weak points of the cave and then cause the whole structure to collapse by weakening that single point.

 

[Shinta]

I begin by sending my earth chakra into the cave you created as I perform the Tiger → Rat → Snake hand seals. I use the chakra I released to locate the stress points and natural faults in the cave. I localise my doton chakra in these points, targeting mainly the largest fault, where I cause the rocks to push apart and fall inwards onto each other. This starts a chain of rock collapses that bring down the entire cave on itself.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent. So easier ways to use this is if your opponent is standing within the cave and you create one and collapse it onto him. Remember what I said about tight spaces.

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.

Now, proceed to launch pieces of rock at my clone, however, also ignite them with fire just as they hit him to cause an explosion.
What is the fire's impact here?

 

[Shinta]

Tight spaces causes a claustrophobic effect and helps to restrict an opponents movements xD

I begin by injecting my earth chakra into the ground in front of me, which I use to push up rocks about the size of me towards my opponent with enough force to knock my target over. As they are launched towards your clone, I exhale a steady stream of fire to ignite the rocks as they fly towards him, building up there internal pressure to the point that they explode upon impact.

As well as turning some of the rock into an almost lava state, the fire melts the inside of the rocks to build up pressure so that they explode when they collide with something, spreading fire devastation in the nearby area.

Excellent job. xD

How might this be used in battle? (Think of the pillars' size and the time it takes to form this jutsu).
