Training in Doton

[Drāgy]

COrrect, I believe you can only use this in Short range and that would indeed mean no traveling. Also, if not done swiftly, you leave yourself open to counter when you grab them.

(Doton: Gansetsukon) - Earth Release: Rock Section Cane
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary/Offense
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Description: This technique allows the user to take a small chunk of rock and turn it into the shape of a staff. The user can then use it as a melee weapon or throw it with pinpoint accuracy at their opponent. A variation of this technique allows the user to create several staffs and launch them at the target, but with less accuracy.

Taking a piece of earth (can be a small rock large enough to fit in your palm) and turn it into a staff of earth that you use to strike the target with. Can be used for short range combat or can be thrown (I'd say up to mid range).

Strong points

• This technique can be effective in short-ranged fights against people who have weapons. Instead of fighting barehand if your opponent has a weapon you could use this to immediately create your own weapon.
• You can make more than one staff and double, or even triple wield in melee combat, so it's pretty useful low rank technique.
• Not having to use hand seals it's always a plus, I assume.

Weak points

• If the user uses the second variation and makes more than one staff, the user should not throw them because they become less accurate proportionally to the amount of staff's created.
• Additionally, the staff's are not that strong, and could probably be destroyed by any weapon capable of channeling chakra in short range.
• It's an low rank weapon so I assume it would be easily destroyed by an lightning release technique.

Combinations-strategies
As I said before, I would use it to create a weapon and I will use it in short-ranged fights against people who have weapons.

Ways to counter this technique
I would probably use an lightning release jutsu to destroy it.

Questions
None.

All good points, it's a fairly "weak" jutsu yet it has it's uses. I actually like this low ranked technique. ^^

( Doton: Iwa Rendan ) - Earth Release: Rock Barrage
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short – Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will concentrate their chakra into their arm and then release their chakra creating a ring of rocks that are then flung at the opponent.

Self explanatory here, you channel chakra into your arm (free of handseals, and create a few rings of rock that are flung at your target.

Dat blue suits you sensei :3

Strong points

• Again, no handseals are required, that means that you can perform the technique fast I assume and this is always a plus.
• Well, for example, if several clones are rushing at you, this technique can be used to lay down a sort of spray fire and easily eliminate clones running towards you.
• It's a great technique for knocking the enemy back.

Weak points

• It's pretty easy to defend against this particular technique.
• The technique deals minimal damage, so if an actual opponent were to be hit, the technique would only serve as a minor distraction.
• Can't be used at long-range

Combinations-strategies
I can use it to to counter my opponent's ninja tool, for example a kunai.

Ways to counter this technique
I will most likely use an higher rank lightning release technique (c-rank) to go right through it.

Questions
None

Quite simple, just manipulate the earth in order to move sections of earth around an opponent to crush them.

(Doton: Ganban Kyu) - Earth Release: Bedrock Coffin
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Mid/Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: After performing the Rat hand seal, the user to control multiple sections of rock and move them around their opponent. The user then forms two gigantic sections that crush the opponent.

Another simple, yet useful one.. just use your Doton chakra to make the ground below you like fine sand and dig your way through the ground quickly. But remember when you're down there, don't use jutsu or the ground around you will collapse.

(Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu) – Earth Release: Hiding like a mole technique
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user changes earth into fine sand by channeling chakra into it, allowing the user to dig through it like a mole. While underground one can sense what is happening on the surface and use the information to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. Once can also hide deep in the ground, escaping to a depth where the enemy cant reach. It also appears that after digging, the ground can be returned to its original state, leaving no trace of where the user entered the earth.

How to perform it

• Upon hearing senpai's affirmation Sawaii closed her eyes and focused on her energy. As she is done focusing she opened her eyes and started out by making the rat hand seal. Next she started building her earth nature chakra into her hands. After she had built enough earth nature chakra, Sawaii pounded the ground, thus making two huge slabs of stone pull out of the earth.
  

Strong points

• It is a great technique for immobilizing your opponent.
  
• This technique can be used to strike multiple people down at once.
  

Weak points

• Basically the earth release technique's rank it's low, thus makes it relatively easy to overcome, and additionally if you move sections of earth around someone, they probably wouldn't wait to get crushed.
  
• This particular earth technique requires Earth Source.
  

How to counter

• I would counter this particular earth release technique with a higher rank lightning release technique.

Spoiler

How to perform it

• Sawaii starts out by molding and channeling her chakra into the earth beneath her. After that the earth below her feet started to turn into fine sand and after that she digs her way through the ground. She started to travel through the earth.
  

Strong points

• The technique allows you to hide effectively, as well as to launch effective surprise attack.
  
• Great for using it to get away from your opponent's techniques.
  

Weak points

• If your opponent discovers that you are hiding underground, it makes you an easy target.
  
• Your opponent can easily use this water technique: (Suiton: Ukojizai no Jutsu) - Water Style: Rain Tiger at Will Technique ; to sense you and he/she will find you.
  

How to counter

• As I already said I will most likely use a water sensing technique (Suiton: Ukojizai no Jutsu) - Water Style: Rain Tiger at Will Technique.

With this jutsu, use your earth chakra to manipulate the earth around you to raise thin, quick rising spikes. Remember that you don't always have to use this jutsu to raise spikes underneath your opponent, I've had Broly use spikes directly in front of him in order to intercept and deflect projectiles.

(Doton: Ganchūsō) - Earth Release: Stone Spikes
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: This technique lets the user create a few rock pillars that will protrude from the ground to skew the target. The rock pillars will even pass through obstacles to reach their target

With this one; you'll simply utilize earth chakra to create a tremor affect on the ground, resulting in the ground shaking violently, throwing your opponents balance off and typically forcing them to fall.

(Doton: Yochi no Douyou) - Earth Release: World Shaking
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will concentrate and release their chakra into the ground to create a small tremer that can result in harming the enemy target.

How to perform it

• Sawaii started out by gathering and molding her chakra and after that she eventually channeled the chakra into her legs. After that she expelled it out through her feet into the ground. Finally she focused on her chakra and eventually formed three big rock pillars that protruded from the ground and surround her senpai.
  

Strong points

• The technique can pass through obstacles.
  
• Pretty useful technique because you can use the spikes directly in front of you in order to intercept and deflect projectiles.
  

Weak points

• You can't use the technique in long range.
  
• Your opponent can easily destroy the spikes with an lightning release technique.

How to counter

• I assume that I can counter this particular earth technique with an lightning technique, for example an lightning armor.
  

(Doton: Yochi no Douyou) - Earth Release: World Shaking

Spoiler

How to perform it

• As senpai was done with his instructions, Sawaii started out by gathering a large amount of chakra into her legs and next she expelled it throughout her feet. Her chakra caused the ground to shake underneath you. The shaking throws you off-balance.
  

Strong points

• It is generally a completely unforeseen attack, and as such, can be used as an effective setup for some sort of elaborate follow up.
  
• It is a technique that is hard to avoid.
  

Weak points

• It doesn't deal damage, and is relatively easy to defend against once you've understood the nature of the technique (which generally doesn't take very long).
  
• The technique doesn't really do any threatening damage.
  

How to counter

• To counter this particular earth release technique, I can use a wind release technique to propel into air.
