Yup, I'm an earth newbie. <.<
*I begin focusing my chakra into a long cylinder shape. I then begin applying state manipulation with my doton chakra so that the chakra mass takes on the properties of the earth release. I pour alot of my chakra into it so that the cylinder has rockey feel and properties and is quite smooth all around. I make sure that it is dense and sturdy enough to support a person's weight.
I then take out a regular kunai and shuriken, examine them and weigh them in my hand. After doing this, I put them away. I then begin focusing my chakra into the exact shape of the shurkien and kunai that I previously had out. I make sure that the sharpness of the blades is preserved in the chakra mold. After doing this, I begin applying state manipulation with my Doton chakra so that the chakra mass takes on the properties of earth release. I am careful not to make the kunai and shuriken overly dense, so that it keeps the weight of the original kunai and shuriken.
I then, once again, focus my chakra into a small square area. After I have the area I want the shield to cover, I add depth to it, so that the shield has more durability. I then apply state manipulation to the area so that the shield turns to rock and becomes very hard, making it good for blocking physical attacks.*
