(Doton: Otoshibuta) – Earth Release: Dropping Lid
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: After doing the Snake handseal and slamming his hands on the ground, he user creates a portal above the target, high in the sky from which a giant, boar-shaped, earthen lid drops and falls on the target, trapping it underneath. The lid can be hollow or solid, depending on if the user wants to deal damage to the enemy or not. Because of its size, to safely used, the lid has to be created at least mid range from the user otherwise he will also be caught inside. The biggest lid can dwarf a boss summon like Nagato's Dog or Gamabunta.
This technique is fairly nice. You will make one handseal and slam your hands into the ground. Now, from above your target, you will create a giant portal, from wind a large boar shaped lid, would drop. This lid, will fall over it's target and trap him inside as it is hollow. You could very well trap many enemies or even summons, similar to how it could even be able to stop Gamabunta. You can deduce it fairly easy in a sunny day because of the terrain, and I would mainly be careful, because of the shadow, and you can use it either to trap movements, or the opponents vision.
(Doton Kage Bunshin) – Earth Release Shadow Clone
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique creates a clone made of mud. Since its made of mud, it can continue to reform and mold itself back to its original shape even after taking physical damage (up to C-Rank). An unique use is that after reverting to mud, it can hold the opponent in place as a binding technique. They can also use up to C rank earth techniques.
Very generic stone technique, and it funny how similar it is to the rock clone. It is a clone made our of mud, which can reform itself to the original shape if it takes damage up to C-Ranks. Another one is that it can revert to mud again when touching the enemy, to stop him entirely. It has almost every positive effect of the clones, using up to C rank earth, resilient and very informative in battle...but I would be careful when using.
(Doton: Musaborudzuchi) – Earth Release: Devouring Earth
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user performs the Ram → Horse → Tiger → Rabbit → Snake and slams their palm on the ground. Instantly, the ground to the sides of the opponent take the shape of huge jaws and attempt to crush and stab him between them. The size of the jaws can be adjusted to fit the size of the opponent or other uses.
This technique is not bad either. You will perform 5 handseals and slam your hands into the ground. Now, from the sides of the location of your enemy, you will rise up jaw like structures, with teeth as well, which can not only crush your enemy, but even stab him beforehand to keep him pinned down. It would help you a lot, when trapping someone, or if you charge lightning in the rock, it can even paralyze him fairly nicely.
(Doton: Tsuchi Kairō) - Earth Release: Earth Corridor
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will first perform the snake hand seal and then cause the earth in the surrounding area to rise up and over a target and create a cavern, imprisoning the target. The user can leave an opening to allow attacks to go in to strike down the trapped adversaries, or close it up completely to prevent escape.
This technique begins with making the snake handseal and have the earth rise up from all around the enemy. The earth will rise up in a very special way, trapping the enemy inside, and forming into a ,what is now, earth corridor. It can totally take away the focus and direction of your enemy, and maybe lead him into a trap. Used into conjunction with another earth tech, you can even make it crumble under your enemy.
