Actually, no. You could have been more creative such as holding them down Earth Decapitation or various other "trap" jutsus.
But, I'll leave it up to you to be creative.
(Doton: Ganchuro no Jutsu) - Earth Style: Earth Pillar Prison
Rank: C
Type: Defence/supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This jutsu creates a large amount of rock pillars from underground. They can then be controlled to surround their opponent and create a prison of earth.
Alright, for this next jutsu, proceed to charge Doton Chakra into your hands and then hit the ground, causing the chakra to flow through it to create a huge wall that rises in front of you.
Make sure that, when you use this jutsu, to also be careful to cover your defense from the top and sides with another jutsu.
alright. *i build up a missive reserve of chakra and slam my hands into the ground, releasing all of that chakra at once, and pushing up a giant slab of earth in front of me to form a wall.* would you like me to creat my extra defences right now as well? *i use 'Earth Style: Great Mud River' on either side of the wall and create all but the last handseal for 'Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bomb', stopping my enemies from the sides and ready to strike them upwards if they try to come over.*
Yes, wonderful. Now, do you know why I asked you to defend yourself from the top and the sides?
And there is actually one more better way to do this than simply wasting jutsus.
Actually, no you are left vulnerable. When you're in a battle, some of the most dangerous places to be attacked in is the top and the bottom, and the back and sides, since most of the time, your eyesight is focused on your enemy, which would mostly be in front of you the entire time.
Do you understand now?
(Doton: Doroku Gaeshi) - Earth Style: Terra Shield
Rank: C
Type: Defence
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After striking the ground with their hands, the user creates a large wall of earth in front of him/her. The defence is not perfect though, since a hard or drilling impact can puncture the wall. Also, since this technique only guards frontal attacks, the enemy can easily attack from the side or even from above.
For this next one, proceed to slam the ground with your hand, sending Doton chakra through it towards my clone. -creates clone-
Then, manipulate the Earth around my clone to spiral in itself...like quicksand almost, and then kill my clone as it does so.
ok... before i read 'like quicksand', i thought it would come up like cone. *focus's doton chakra through my body to my hands and slams them into the ground, releases the chakra. i send my chakra towards your clone, and as it reaches your clone, i manipulate it into a spiraling action that sucks you clone downwards, killing it.*
Alright. Very nicely done. You will find similar jutsus to this later on in the jutsu list, so I won't go into specifics yet about such jutsus.
(Doton: Retsudotensho) - Earth Style: Split Earth Turn Around Palm
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: This technique causes the ground surrounding the enemy to spiral inwards on itself, burying them alive or crushing them. This technique is much more damaging if used in rocky mountainous areas, or inside a cave.
Next jutsu.
Proceed by charging Doton chakra into your hands. Then, slam the ground with it, sending it towards my clone, causing the earth to split in half underneath him.
Now, this is a very important jutsu...
alright. *i focus my chakra into my hands and slam them into the ground, releasing it into the earth and towards your clone. as it reaches your clone, my chakra spreads out to either side, pulling the earth with it.*
because this jutsu literally pulls the ground out from under my opponent, and they have to counter your first jutsu to counter the rest and it would be hard to counter falling?
Exactly. It's a great and highly offensive jutsu, and can be wonderfully comboed with so many other jutsus, I just love it.
(Doton: Doryuu Kekai) - Earth Style: Earth Fissure
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This jutsu splits the earth apart to make a fissure. The size of the fissure is proportioned to the amount of chakra of the user.
We are now done with C-Ranks.
For this next one, slam your hand upon the ground, sending your chakra thruogh it towards my clone. -creates clone-
Once it reaches my clone, manipulate the earth to rise over my clone, creating a dome and trapping him.
Then, step up towards the dome, put your hands on it, and then proceed to start sucking the chakra from my clone to yourself. Clearly a part of the Naruto manga.
this is Jirobo's justu! *focuses my chakra into my hands and slams them into the ground. i send it towards your clone and i arc it over him. after that, i walk over to my dome, and tap into your clones chakra through my dome, sucking it through my hands, into myself*
It is.
Alright, very good. It's a straightforward move.
(Doton Kekkai: Doro Domu) - Earth Style Barrier: Earth Dome Prison
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 20 (+10 chakra each turn the opponent is inside the dome)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After striking the ground with their hands, the user overturns the earth, causing it to rise up around his opponent(s). Then, by placing his/her hands against the dome, the user is able to drain out the chakra from the people trapped inside and absorb it into their own body. At the same time, the user will use their own chakra to spread throughout the dome. This allows the user to repair any damage their opponent(s) manage to inflict on the inside.
For this next jutsu, please proceed to start sending your doton chakra through your entire body, channeling it through your bloodstreams and into your skin to harden it...turning it into a dark-color and hard enough to defend against most physical attacks.
