Description: The user will activate an ability which will allow them to add an additional layer of mud on the surface of all earth techniques for the next three turns. Through expending some extra chakra, the user will infuse extra earth chakra into his earth techniques and this chakra will coat any earth techniques made with an adhesive, flammable, layer of mud. The mud itself is chakra infused and because of its adhesiveness when it comes into contact with another substance, it quickly SPREADS around the object/being. The mud would coat whatever substance it is touching and basically disable it within seconds due to the sheer weight of the mud. This technique is APPLICABLE on walls, domes or other earthen defenses and the extra layer of mud serves to increase their defensive capabilities, making it so that the defenses can defend against techniques with 20 more damage points. This boost has no effect on the defenses offensive capabilities; so Hardening technique could defend against 20 additional damage points but have no change to its offensive uses. The mud is flammable and can be ignited through flames, sparks and friction, and when it is ignited it will become aflame and burn rather than explode.The mud layer is quite thick and if used correctly it can make for a deadly combination attack. For example, with this technique active the Hardening technique would have its earthen armour coated in the layer of mud, and for techniques such as stone golem the creature would rise covered in a layer of mud from head to toe. However, it can only be used within reason and the layer of mud will only be APPLIED to earth techniques that already have a hard surface; so it will have no effect on swamp, mud or dust-based jutsus or jutsus like antlion and the weight/flight jutsus. Activating this ability is instant and does not consume any time whatsoever. The reason this technique's activation is instant is because stand alone it does not do anything and its effects are only initiated when the user utilizes a Earth Release technique. This ability doesn't have to be APPLIED to every Earth Release techniques used while this is active.
