-Tenzo- teaches Sharingdork Doton

[Sharingdork]

....like, shadow clone, or E-rank clone? 'cause i don't know shadow clone yet, if that changes anything

 

[Adachi]

This is Earth Clone.

 

[Sharingdork]

so it doesn't require me to know shadow clone before hand? alright. *keeps a mental picture in my mind of myself, and sends doton chakra next to me in the shape of that image, making it denser and denser until it's a full clone of myself made of earth*

 

[Adachi]

Alright, very good.
Now, you don't need to know Shadow Clone as this clone can ONLY use Earth jutsus C-Rank and below.
Also, which elements do you believe this Earth clone would be immune to? Keep in mind Earth's pros and cons.

 

[Sharingdork]

would he be immune to water jutsu?

 

[Adachi]

Yes, he would. What other physical aspects/elements might he be immune to?

 

[Sharingdork]

well, he's a clone, which makes me wonder about genjutsu, and he's earth, which makes me think that he'd have a higher resistance to taijutsu. and because you said 'element', he's weak to lightning, fire would make a sort of lava, making him useless, he is earth, i covered water, so would he be strong to wind?

 

[Adachi]

He would be. Basically, any physical attack would be useless against it since it could rebuild itself almost immediately.
Since this clone has this function, what might it be best for during a fight?

 

[Sharingdork]

a shield?

 

[Adachi]

Ah. No, you are wrong.
They're best used to set up traps in general, especially in areas like Forests or Swamps. I find them very capable with Nara techs.

(Doton: Tsuchi Bunshin no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Earth Clone Technique
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 25
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user creates upto three clones of earth and mud. Since they are made of such materials, they can reform after being hit by physical, water or wind techniques. They can also use up to C rank earth techniques.

For this next jutsu, please memorize these handseals I show you. Then, proceed to use them and then slam the ground, sending your chakra through the earth and towards my clone, shaping the sides of the ground to become shark-like jaws and then crushing him in between.

 

[Sharingdork]

*i run through the hand seals, memorizing them as i go through them. then i slam my hands into the ground, sending my chakra through it, and towards your clone. as my chakra speeds towards your clone, i shape it into a shark jaw. then when my chakra reaches your clone, the earthen 'shark jaw' emerges from the ground, bitting your clone in half*

 

[Adachi]

Excellent. And do you remember what I told you about attacks that came from the top and the bottom?

 

[Sharingdork]

they're a good surprise attack because most people are focused on what's in front of them (i'm paraphrasing slightly)

 

[Adachi]

Just needed to know you still remember.
Excellent. Very much like Earth Spikes.

(Doton: Musaborudzuchi) – Earth Release: Devouring Earth
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 25
Damage points: 50
Description: The user performs five handseals 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.

Alright, for this next one. Once again, charge your hands with Doton Chakra and then slam the ground, sending it through the Earth and towards my clone, causing the Earth around him to rise up and trap him in a dome.

 

[Sharingdork]

another dome? *focuses my doton chakra through my hands, and slams them into the ground, sending it towards your clone, causing the earth to rise around him into a dome, trapping him inside* is there anything else to this? does the dome grow spikes? can i shrink it? can i suck the oxgygen out? or is it another chakra sucker? or maybe it's just a dome (so many questions)

 

[Adachi]

Yeah, I hate how there are so many repeats in the Jutsu List for all the elements. -.-
Well, a dome, no matter how simple it may sound, has many uses.
Let's say that you released a huge wave at a dome and an enemy was standing in front of the dome. What would happen to him and the dome?

 

[Sharingdork]

Of water? 2-3 element lessons later... I suppose it would smash my opponent into the dome, either making it act simmilar to a wall, or breaking it so it acts like a bowl, possibly drowning him.

 

[Adachi]

Ah. So let's say it bumps into the dome and recoils back. What happens to the power of the wave in general?

 

[Sharingdork]

By 'it', do you mean the wave? I would assume it would be simmilar to a small stream flowing over a rock (the size of which, would be determined by the relative size of the dome to the wave.). If it's two average sized jutsu, I'd say the power of the wave would lessen, diverting to either side of the dome.

 

[Adachi]

Oh, what if the dome was big enough to let it recoil?
