[Doton] Souji-senpai teaches Penguin Doton
- Thread starter Penguin
- Start date
He had come quite a long way.
Yu Narukami was chosen (whether out of admiration, desire, or pity - he didn't know, nor did he really care) to be an assistant to one of the many senseis that were training a new generation of shinobi. Like most greenhorns, Yu took his position quite seriously and wanted to make sure this new experience would be as pleasant for his students as well as himself. Fully equipping himself in his shinobi attire, Yu made his way to the outskirts of Konoha, where his first student was waiting. He smirked a little at the application. He was going to train a good friend of his; this was going to be fun.
The wind was whipping through the forest and Yu's clothing and grey hair, instilling a certain tranquility to the atmosphere. Upon reaching the clearing where he was to meet his (very first) student, Yu then stood across from Penguin, and they both nodded wordlessly.
Picking up a rock, he began dribbling it between his feet, much like a soccer ball, keeping focus on the rhythm and not allowing his stance to yield. He spoke to Penguin.
"Hello, good friend. Let's make this fun, shall we? I know from your application you've received some training before, but let's start over. Come, dribble this rock with me. Just be careful not to break your toes."
"But anyway, let's get to it. Why don't you tell me a little about Doton, some of its properties, strengths, weaknesses, and personal motivations for wanting to master this element?" He said, passing the rock to Penguin with a good kick.

Penguin waited for several moments before a gust of wind flowed throughout the area, coming with it was a man named Yu. Yu's hair was dancing in the wind, and he nodded towards Penguin, with Penguin nodding likewise. Yu then started dribbling a pebble in between his feet and began to spoke. I hope this will be enjoyable for both of us, Yu-senpai. Of course I will play some soccer with you. As Yu passed Penguin the pebble, he had asked Penguin a little about doton. As Penguin caught the pebble by rotating his foot to where the inside of his foot acted as a shield for the little rock, Penguin began speaking. Doton has many different properties to it, and could be the most versatile element in the basic five. You can manipulate previous earth structures, turn the ground into liquid, open portals and have earth fall down from the sky, change your mass, turn earth to sand, or even metals. One of the best things about earth is it's "source" if you will. We are walking on an "earth source" right now. The projectiles of earth are great due to their mass, earthen tools have great crushing and piercing capabilities, and so on. Doton's weaknesses are raiton due to raiton's sharpness being able to tear through the doton's core. Doton is strong against suiton because suiton isn't as solid as earth nor is it sharp enough to tear through it's core. I would love learning this element because of it's versatility and powerful techniques to aid my comrades and kage. What better way to ruin your opponent than directly change the land scape they are on? As he said this, Penguin continued to dribble the little pebble until he passed it back to Yu.

Yu grinned. He expected no less. He could see Penguin was a passionate shinobi. There would be no need to waste any more time.
"That's a perfect response!"
The moment Penguin passed back the rock to Yu, instead of catching it with his foot, Yu bent down and grabbed the rock with his hand, allowing its forward momentum to cause Yu to rotate. While Yu was rotating, he applied shape and nature manipulation to form the rock into a large, round shield. At the end of his rotation, in a smooth, continuous motion, Yu threw the shield with his right hand, aimed at Penguin's chest area. (think how Captain America throws his shield)
"Let's get right to the techniques, then! Heads up, counter this with the same technique! And after that, tell me the advantages, disadvantages, creative uses, blah blah you know the rest! Ask questions!" he said this as the shield was heading straight for Penguin, intent on breaking his ribs on impact.

Thank you Yu-senpai. Yu bent down to catch the rock Penguin passed for some reason, but it wasn't a big deal. Maybe Yu didn't like soccer. But then the rock somehow turned into a circular shield. That is pretty neat... Whilst rotating, Yu threw the shield at a good speed due to his momentum and perfect form. Counter it with the same jutsu? Alright. Penguin channeled his doton chakra through his feet into the ground, about five feet in front of himself. This chakra caused a one foot wide and six foot tall rock pillar to rise up. As the shield hit the pillar, they both crumbled to the ground. The strengths of Doton no Jutsu are simple. You are only limited to your imagination. You can literally create anything you want out of rock. All you need is a previous source of earth, which shouldn't be that hard to find. You can use the pillars to evade techniques, throw off your opponents balance when created under them, etc. The only weakness of this technique is it's strength. Plus I live in Amegakure no Sato, a place with almost no earth. A creative use of this technique would be using a pillar to dodge an attack, or creating the pillar under one of your opponent's legs. This would stretch their leg tendons and muscles till they toppled over.
"Excellent. Remember that even the simplest techniques can create the most critical openings. Don't waste your moves in a battle."
Picking up a chunk of rock from the broken shield, Yu then applied shape and nature manipulation to form a long staff made of Earth; a Bo, to be precise. He twirled it around, Hiruzen-style, and planted it on the ground, leaning casually on it.
"I like this next technique. It requires you create staffs made of Earth from rock chunks. And from our previous clash, it seems we did create a few rock chunks! So, channel your Earth chakra to shape the rock into a long staff. You can use this to melee attack enemies, like Hiruzen does with Enma. Of course, it will not be as lethal, but this jutsu is a good counter to a close range opponent. Or, if CQC isn't your thing, you can create a staff, break it up into smaller pieces, and throw the pieces much like spears."
"Try both variations, on those targets over there."
"You know my expectations for explanations. Show me your moves!"

Thanks again Yu. So I just pick up a rock, channel my doton chakra throughout it, then use shape manipulation to turn it into a staff? I don't think this will be that hard. Penguin bends down and picks up two rocks, then starts channeling his doton chakra throughout them. As the chakra surges throughout the rocks, Penguin imagines a certain

like shape. In seconds, the rocks turn into long staffs. Penguin twirls the staffs three hundred and sixty degrees in each hand, as if he was preventing someone from bypassing his defense. I am General Grievous, and may the fourth be with you. Penguin chuckles as he throws the staff in his right hand at a tree, about seven meters away from himself, and skewers it. He breaks the other staff up in his left hand and flicks each piece at the same tree, but a couple miss there mark. It seems as if the staffs are very useful in close quarters, and can keep your opponents at bay. One could also break the end off of their staff and turn it into a lethal weapon, almost like a lance. You can also throw this, which is neat. Some disadvantages are again, the strength of the technique. The cane is very fragile, and if you broke it into many pieces, some would surely miss their mark due to their inaccuracy. I would never use this as I have a staff like weapon myself that even dwarfs the great Enma in skill. A creative use would be breaking the tip off and stabbing your opponent in the head, using the cane to hit each of their feat apart and lifting your opponent up with the staff and slamming them down, or even breaking them up to keep your opponent's focus away from your next attack.Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. Penguin was making quite an obscure reference. What was it, though? He couldn't quite put his tongue on it, but that didn't really matter. He shook his head, smirking.
"Well done. Let's move on. These early techniques are quite simple and therefore don't require too much in-depth analysis."
"For our next jutsu, channel your chakra into your dominant arm, and towards the ground. If you do it right, rocks should erupt from the ground; pretty sizable ones, too. Then, practice making these rocks float around you like a ring around you. You can control how you fling these rocks; one at the time, or all at once."
He pulled a set of clay discs from his pouches, and proceeded to throw them upward, gaining some considerable air.
"Use the rocks to hit those targets. GO!"

After completing the jutsu, explaining it, and making himself look like a fool with his horrible jokes, Yu seemed pleased. I agree. From now on I shall describe it with good detail, but condense it. As Yu explains the next jutsu, Penguin starts channeling doton chakra throughout his right arm, with it hanging towards the ground. The chakra acts like a magnet in a sense as all shapes and sizes of rock start erupting from the ground. Using his chakra, Penguin then wills the rocks to form a ring above himself, like a huge halo. This is kind of neat, haha! Yu then pulls out some sort of disk from his pouches. Hit the clay birds? Shouldn't be too hard. Penguin then wills a rock to speed towards one of the disks. It wasn't headed straight for it, but Penguin lead the target enough so the rock would eventually hit it. Penguin then shoots off the rest of the rocks at one clay bird, peppering it. How was that senpai?
"Excellent! You compensated for the mid-air flight path of the targets! Often in battle, a less experienced opponent will shoot DIRECTLY at you, and if you're in mid-air, you can adjust your flight path to completely dodge their attack. These are also good for pelting or annoying an opponent.
Yu's face suddenly contorted into a look of mock disappointment.
"I didn't see an analysis, but I'll let it slide this time... remember, bring honor to your family!" he said with a joking accent.
"And with that, you are officially done with D-rank Earth Jutsus." He clapped, chuckling.
"Moving on to the C-ranks. For this next technique, perform the Rat hand seal and channel your Earth chakra through the ground. Rock sections should erupt from the ground. By slapping these two rock sections together, you can trap an opponent. These rock sections can be controlled by your chakra. But since you are focused on controlling the rock sections and the opponent, you cannot use another jutsu until you stop controlling the Rock slabs."
Yu performed a hand seal and created a Shadow Clone of himself, and the Clone began running around the training grounds, with no apparent pattern to his path.
"Try and catch a moving target, my clone. Then, provide your analysis. Begin!"

Ah my mistake Yu. I promise it won't happen again. From what I understand, Earth has the most amount of jutsu of any element, making it the most diverse. We are in for quite a ride. Penguin continues to listen as Yu explains the next jutsu. This jutsu seems very handy. Hmmm. Ah yes. What you said also applies to things such as Water Dragon Bullet, Doton Golems, Earth Dragons, etc. As Penguin said this, Yu created a kage bunshin that ran around wildly. Penguin then started channeling his chakra through his feet into the ground around the clone as he formed a rat hand seal, about seven meters away from himself and two from the clone. Two walls of rock rose up around the clone, each curved so when connected, it would trap the clone and eventually crush him. The walls suddenly move closer to each other to trap the clone before it could make it's way out of the jutsu, then the rock walls touch, grinding back and forth turning the clone to nothing. Let's see. This jutsu seems very swell for trapping your opponent quickly since you can control the walls. You can even kill him by grinding the walls together. But one of the best uses for this technique is when an opponent is moving too fast to change direction. You would raise the wall curved so that, even if your opponent somehow went left or right, he would still get it. The only bad things for this jutsu are that the walls are too big to form in close range. Other than that, it is a very useful and cool technique. One can also use this to break the line of sight for genjutsu and sneakily attack the opponent from beneath.
As he felt the clone poof away, Yu felt a shudder down his spine as his clone's experience returned to him. Claustrophobic and dark. The worst kind. He shook his head slightly and turned to Penguin once more.
"For counters, standard lightning would work, or a higher ranked earth technique, like an armor, to break through. In general, if you're fighting fire with fire-element with the same element, higher ranked techniques will beat lower ranked ones. Something to think about."
Looking at the scrolls for the next jutsu, Yu nodded.
"Our next jutsu is one of the most versatile Earth techniques. You will channel your Earth chakra and covert the ground directly below you into a fine, sand-like quality. It'll feel like quicksand as you suddenly sink into the ground. But don't worry, you won't die. Instead, you'll be able to burrow through the ground at high speeds, tunneling through the underground. You will be able to sense what's above you, allowing yourself to strategically position your next attack. You can maintain this technique for as long or for as short as you want; remember not to stay in the ground too long or you might get destroyed by an opponent's Earth technique! As for restrictions, you can only use up to C-rank EARTH techniques that DON'T require handseals. Don't ask what happens when you don't follow those restrictions..."
He let out a sigh.
"Once you've performed the Hiding like a Mole technique, while you're underground, I want you to sense a target above you. Then, go directly underneath him and pull him down, applying the same principle of turning the ground into fine sand, and pulling him so that the only thing sticking out of the ground is his head. Then, when you reemerge, you'll have a nice easy way to finish off your opponent."
"Try this combination now."

Mhm. I am fairly competent in the elemental interactions. Adachi-sensei taught me that way back when. Thanks for reinforcing my knowledge though, it certainly helps. Penguin laughs as Yu describes the jutsu. I am assuming you cannot travel through higher ranked earth techniques like the A-ranked Doton: Yomi Numa? After Penguin listens to the answer, he channels his chakra below him to turn the ground into a finer quality of dirt, so fine you can dig through it. The ground almost sucks him up in a way, but Penguin remained calm throughout the whole ordeal, and wound up underground. He could sense everything above him, the two life forces above him, Yu and the phony clone. Penguin then speeds underground to where he was directly beneath the clone, then travels upwards. Penguin extends his right arm upwards and grips the clones left ankle, and pulls him down so far that the clones head is the only thing remaining above ground. Penguin suddenly pops out from the ground, and with his right hand, graps his sword. Sorry clone-senpai, nothing personal. Penguin suddenly crouches and spins rapidly, decapitating the clone.
This jutsu is very nice. I can avoid high level attacks that don't go underground, and after a big attack that blocks the line of sight I could use this to get near my opponent without him noticing. It isn't chakra consuming which is also great, plus you are a sensor underground with this, so you can keep tabs on your opponent. The only bad thing is if your opponent sees you, he could use attacks such as Doton: Yomi Numa or Earth Flow Rampart to mess your day up. It also limits you to C-rank doton without hand seals whilst underground. But an extraordinary jutsu indeed. Thank you for teaching me this one Yu! To counter it I would use Doton: Yomi Numa to create a 10X10 meter swamp that kills my opponent, or maybe that A-rank technique that makes earth heavy below myself so they cannot break through the ground by me.

The clone's decapitation made Yu subtly rub his own neck. Ouch.
"I believe this technique can go through most SOLID Earth. You are right, though, swamps and liquids can't really be burrowed through. Creativity wise, let's say there was a large Earth Obstacle between you and your opponent, like a mountain. You could use the Hiding Like a Mole technique to burrow through the mountain to reach your opponent on the other side. You can burrow through Earth with this technique, but it doesn't necessarily have to be underground." he said, winking slyly. He recalled some of his first battles where he had done this.
"Alright, this next technique is super cool. Channel your Earth chakra through the ground and create a series of rock pillars that erupt from the ground, and these will skewer your target, turning them into a 'pincushion' of sorts."
Poof. Yu created a Shadow Clone for Penguin to try the jutsu on.
This particular student had trained under his own sensei. No wonder he showed plenty of potential. Yu wondered for a moment why his good friend hadn't advanced as quickly as others of their generation; perhaps it was due to the system of teachers, which was erratic and unstable, or at the best, competent. Not that the current system was horrible, it was simply the intrusion of other obligations and unexpected factors that made it hard for a new shinobi to begin training.

Oh that is really neat. I never thought of burrowing through already formed earth structure. Would I be correct in the idea that I cannot burrow through a B-ranked or higher earth structure from an opponent, like Earth Sandwich technique which has S-rank chakra throughout it? And I heard the Sandaime Raikage talk about this next jutsu. It is his favorite! Penguin starts molding his physical and spiritual energies together to form a good amount of chakra. As he does this, he starts thinking of earth's durability and hardness, giving his chakra the doton nature. After the doton chakra is formed, he channels it through his feet and into the ground three meters away from him where a doppelganger of Yu stood. Below the doppelganger, about five earth spikes rose from the ground, piecing both his feet, both his hands, and skewering him right down the middle. Oh...uh sorry about that doppelganger-senpai! Penguin frowned after what he did to Yu's creation, knowing Yu would now know what it felt like getting skewered. This technique has many advantages, such as being able to used anywhere up to mid range, without hand seals at alarming speeds. With a good jutsu to set my opponent off balance, or if I get big chunks of earth around my opponent, I can use this jutsu to it's best affect. The downside is it's rank, as a simple Nagashi should break the rock, or a hardening technique like Doton: Domu. But still, a great attack.
(LOL dat reference >_>" )
"Yes. You can't burrow through higher ranked, user-created earth structures. Remember that. As such, this is a good jutsu for naturally occurring Earth and structures."
His friend performed the technique perfectly, and Souji (le new bio got approved, but still the same character, just a different name and abilities) felt the experience of the clone. Not pleasant at all. Watching his student's demeanor, he could see the killing intent in his eyes, despite his goofy and friendly demeanor. Those types of students were often the most intimidating. His intuition about Penguin's abilities were not unjustified.
"This next jutsu is very simple, but one of the best C-ranked techniques out there. You'll channel Earth chakra and release it through the ground, and cause a small tremor that can throw off the opponent's balance and even aim."
"Come, let me show you..."
Without warning, Souji reached into his ninja tools pouch and pulled out a kunai with an explosive tag tied to the end. He raised his right arm, holding it in his right hand, and prepared to throw it directly at Penguin, aimed at his head. If his friend didn't perform the technique in time, he would surely receive a face full of pain...
... and explosions.

Ah, thanks for the answer Souji-senpai! This really helps. And this jutsu...I have had it used on me quite the numerous amount of times. It is a real pain in the rear haha! Show me what? After having some friendly talk with his senpai, Penguin watches Souji pull out a kunai with some paper on the end of it. Penguin had a couple ideas what was on that paper tag. Maybe explosives, a flash bang, or some other weird ninja tool...but today was not the day Penguin will find out. Penguin quickly gathers his chakra and channels it into the ground below him. The chakra in the ground causes the ground to shake quite abruptly, knocking Souji's center of gravity and balance off. This would hinder his throw if he did in fact have time to throw it. Ah this jutsu is great. The speed is phenomenal, can be used in the main fighting areas which is short and mid, and can disrupt plenty of multi-hand seal jutsu like Suiton: Suiryūdan. The only disadvantage I can think of is that it won't affect people on huge summons since the summons weight so much.
Penguin had managed to throw off Souji's balance JUST AS he was about to release the tagged kunai. With a disrupted trajectory, Souji's hand veered slightly, and the tagged kunai's path was thrown off to the side, to the left of Penguin. Once the tremor had finished, Souji stood up, having been knocked down to his backside from the tremor.
"Good. You just saw what it was capable of. Remember that it also leaves them very vulnerable to a follow-up attack, so don't rest on your laurels. Even if it can't defeat larger scale techniques, the fact that this jutsu makes your opponent lose their footing is key to it being very underestimated."
Penguin could hear a small sizzling noise. The explosive tag on the kunai, which was now lodged to the ground beside him, was set off.
"So, before that thing blows up and injures your leg, you'll want to mold Earth chakra in your mouth, and spit it out as a globule... ball... of mud. It can create sticky patches on the ground, blind and choke a target... all that good stuff. I like this technique, I've used it many times as an opening move. Use the mud to put out the explosive tag."
The paper tag continued to sizzle, dangerously close to detonation...

Penguin had succeeded in throwing off Souji's balance, but Penguin realized the paper tag was too his left and he was within range of the blast. Sweet Jesus this is bad...
Thanks for the advice Souji-senpai, but what about this thing over here? Penguin turns to the paper tag which was burning at an alarming rate.
Penguin smiles at his senpai for the advice on how to put out the paper bomb. Thanks Souji. I should be able to put it out pretty qui- wait what am I saying?! I am wasting time! That thing will blow!
Penguin quickly molds his physical and spiritual energies together to form chakra. As he does this, he thinks of earth's properties. Thick, solid, and sturdy. This gives his chakra a doton nature. As the doton chakra is made, he channels it into his mouth and spits it out. As he spat it out, Penguin uses nature and shape manipulation to turn the chakra into a globule mud ball. The mud quickly doused the bomb before it went off, and Penguin sighed.
That was extremely close. Phew! But anyways, this jutsu seems very quick. I like that. Plus it can douse small fires or match the force of most water bullets. And it is a projectile, and that means you can spam techniques after this. The downside is that it really isn't that strong, and it can only reach mid range. Otherwise, it is solid.

"Nice reflexes! I'm impressed."
"And yeah, this technique is a great opening move. Good work!"
"After this next jutsu, we'll transition to doing two techniques per round. That way we can speed up your training a little. I know you can get anxious to get out there and try these out!"
Souji beckoned Penguin to walk with him to a small cave. It looked like an anthill with a small entrance.
"This next jutsu has you performing a single hand seal and channeling your Earth chakra through natural earth structures. By allowing an uncontrolled flow of your chakra surge through it, you'll cause the structure to collapse, which can cause a great deal of damage to whoever's inside that Earth structure."
"I believe this jutsu was the one that killed Obito Uchiha back in the Third Great Ninja War. Scary..."

(Doton: Iwa Yado Kuzushi) - Earth Release: Stone Lodging Destruction
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A (up to 60)
Descripton: The user will do one hand seal and cause nearby earth structures (either natural occurring ones on the field (such as cave ceilings, cliffs, etc), man made (buildings, etc) or jutsu made (up to C-Rank active structures)) to collapse and fall. This technique allows the ninja to control nearby stone and rock and dislodge any vulnerable or sensitive spots, causing the structure to collapse. 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. The damage depends on the size of the cavern or rock lodging above or nearby the target and not on the amount of chakra used which doesn't need to be high. A large cave with a thick ceiling can easily do the physical damage equivalent to an A-Rank technique but due to the damage not being focused or chakra fueled, its also easily defendable.
