Let's get the show on the road shall we? *points towards a large rock*

Go upon that rock and sit on top of it, cross your legs and close your eyes, lay your hands on your lap. Breathe in slowly, and begin to meditate. Flow your chakra from throughout your body, and into the stone, feel the hard rock solid structure of it, feel the riggid texture that it carries, and begin to understand with it. Then answer the question, what is Earth? What can be used for? (Offensively, Defensively etc) What are its Strength and its weaknesses?

*Listening to what you said, I go the rock and sit on it, cross my legs, close my eyes, and I place my hands on my lap. I begin to take in slow deep breathes and begin meditating. As I do this, I channel my chakra onto the rock I'm sitting on and pickup the 'feel' of the rock. I start to answer the questions you asked for.....*

Caius: Earth is one of the basic 5 elements that a ninja uses. It can be used to travel underneath the ground as a means of transportation and can be used to set up attacks or defenses for attacks. Earth is strong against Water but, weak against Lightning.

Not bad, but remember this. Earth is the terrain itself (most of the times), it's life. It's what we are grown on, it's what we die on. That is just an extremely quick philosophical thought, but that can be implemented into your battles, think of Earth as the basis of all battles, it's the ground where you fight. Hence, it can be used in both offensive and defensive purposes, as well as supplementary, by for example; trapping the opponent inside a hole, which can then lead to a more offensive attack, or using the base of a defensive wall like you stated, to start a new move on the offense by i.e erupting spikes out of it. And since I also said Earth is the terrain, there are different techniques that lets you move in and out of the Earth itself, the structure of the Earth is your friend, it can help in most, if not all situations, but we'll get onto that stuff later on in the training.

For now, since you have meditated and found your Earth chakra, get off the rock and come next to me. Afterwards place your palms onto the floor and begin by sending your Earth chakra into it, by changing the structure of the Earth, forcefully cause two pillars to erupt out of the ground with your palms on top of each one respectfully.

*Doing as you asked I come next to you. I then place my palms on the ground and close my eyes. I then begin by focusing my chakra into the ground to change its structure. Concentrating my chakra on the ground, I begin to pull out two pillars from the ground with each of my hands on each pillar. My left hand on the left pillar and my right hand on the right pillar.*

*Inspects the Earth pillars*

Not bad for a first try, the Earth has definitely kept its strong structure, though has lost some when you removed it out of the ground, however what you have now is completely perfect. Before you fully master this jutsu though, you need to understand another aspect of Earth manipulation. The Earth does not only have to be in a solid form, we have seen it be used as Mud, hence a liquid state, and sometimes even in forms of particles. For now though, we will not go in full-depth, let me demonstrate.

*Puts one palm onto the ground and raises an Earth pillar, just like you did. However, after doing so, my pillar begins to soften, almost like it is melting. You can see that the pillar is gradually becoming smaller, and then it begins to shape itself, changing itself into the shape of a sword.*

What I did right there, is basic manipulation of the texture of the Earth. You see, by supplying more chakra into the pillar, you are able to even change its form, its shape, all based upon your will. You can even change the weight, but that requires a jutsu we will go through later on. Right now, I want you to copy what I just did. Supply some more chakra into the Earth pillars you just created, and in doing so, soften the Earths structure, almost so that it's like a jelly. Then, by using basic shape manipulation, change the shapes of your pillars. Forming the one in your right hand into a sword, and the one in your left hand into a shield. Describe how you do each one individually, for example the large surface area that a shield has, and the sharp edge a sword has.

okay.
*I place my hands on both pillars respectively. My left hand on the left pillar and my right hand on the right pillar. I channel my chakra into the pillars and focus on changing the state of the pillars. As I channel more chakra into the pillars, the pillars begin to melt into a liquid-like state. Once the the pillars are in a complete jelly form, I manipulate that jelly with my chakra to change both of the pillars forms. Starting with the jelly pillar on my left, I use shape manipulation and solidify it with my chakra to form it into a small shield. I made the shield thin and light to deflect blade attacks. Shape wise, the shield is rectangular and I also created a central grip for the shield which I placed over my arm. I next focus my attention on the right pillar to form it into a sword. I channel my chakra into the right jelly pillar and use shape manipulation and solidify it with my chakra to form it into a sword with a hilt. The sharp edge of the sword is straight, with two edges, and is pointy. The blade is short(3 ft long) and is of perfect length. I grip the sword in my right hand and swing it to see if its good.*

Well done, you just learnt your first Doton jutsu!

(Doton No Jutsu) - Earth Release Technique
Rank: D
Type: Attack/Defence
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage Points: 20
Descripton: Creates small pillars of earth, small tools, and small shields of earth
For now, we will skip the next jutsu according to the list, since it is part of a combo that involves a C-rank, and we will go back to it later. For now, I want you to re-perform what you just did, however to a greater extent. *Throws you a rock* Catch it, and send your Earth chakra into it. What you did with the pillars was to make them smaller, take chunks off in order to fulfill the shapes you wanted, but this time it will be harder. I want you to change the shape of the rock into that of a staff, it must be long and not-so thick, with a spear at the tip, make sure to keep the staff's form, do not let it crumble away as you stretch the thick rock.

*Raises an Earth pillar with a dot in the middle facing you a few meters away* And once you're done with making the spear, using careful timing and precise accuracy, strike the dot in the middle of the pillar with your spear.

*catches the rock with my left hand*
okay....
*Upon hearing your instruction, I place my right hand on top of the rock that is being held in my left hand and focus my chakra into the rock. As I channel more chakra into the rock, the rock begin to melt into a liquid-like state. Once the rock is in a complete jelly form, I manipulate that jelly with my chakra to change the form of the rock. I then pull my right hand back clenching some of the liquid and begin to stretch it out slowly, while my left hand holds on to other half of the liquid and I holding it horizontally. As I maintain control of my chakra, I also remember to smooth the rock out, giving a long pipe kind of form and solidifying it a section at a time. I make sure the liquid doesn't fall apart or become too thick. I then, hold it up from one end using each hand, holding it up vertically. From the top manipulating the long object, forming my right hand into the form of a thin mouth and run it through smoothing out the object
with my chakra and solidifying it. Using my finger tips and chakra manipulation, I smooth out and sharpen the upper tip of the long object and finish this part by solidifying it.*
Looks like a pike....anyway...*scratches head*
*As I say this and seeing the pillar you conjured with the dot/bulls-eye in the middle. I get into a position and ready the stave like in the Olympics when they do the javelin throw. Aiming carefully with accuracy and precision and once I have a lock on my target, I throw the stave with a dramatic pose, launching it straight at the pillar with the dot. The sharp tip lands on the dot and is lodged onto the pillar.*

Splendoodle.
(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.

Do you have any questions on the D-ranks that you've learned so far?

Either way, the next jutsu will be our first C-rank, and is one of my favorite Earth jutsus. *Performs a single hand sign* Repeat the hand sign I just showed you, whilst channeling your Earth chakra throughout your body and into the ground. In doing so, cause two gigantic walls of rock to raise around your opponent. The walls are reflected of each other, meaning they can either be formed to your opponent's front and back, or both sides. And once done doing that, use your chakra to cause the wall to come together, and your opponent will be caught in that movement, being crushed.

*Summons a clone that begins running into many directions, changing them in quick manners*

The real killer in this jutsu, is being able to time your movement, and make sure when to exactly raise the Earth, since my clone is running around, you have to time yourself to exactly catch him off guard. This can be done by manipulating small forms of rock, just like you are supposed to do with the two ''big'' walls, raise some small walls that will just make his feet stumble, unbalancing him where the main attack will come into place.

Hmmm....no I think I got the basics down. So, we can move on. :p

*Watching weave a single hand-seal, I gather my chakra while weaving that hand-seal converting my chakra into earth chakra and focusing it into the ground that we are standing on. Seeing the clone that senpai created, I manipulate the ground using my chakra and have the sections of the ground rise on both sides of the clone each 10 meters away from him and have them on standby since, I have to time it just right to crush him. I watch him closely as he darts around while I maintain my flow of chakra into ground forming with the hand-seal. Once I see an opening, I quickly raise small sections as soon as he is about to step/land with the next foot that touches the ground. Making sure to raise the parts that would make him lose his balance like a street that is uneven and the person can easily step wrong or trip and fall without noticing it since it blends in and is barely noticeable from a certain angle and height. Once he caught off balance, I manipulate the two bigger sections and bring them in to smash the clone, creating a loud crashing sound when the two sections form a sandwich between the clone.*

Excellent ^^
(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.

Now let's move onto our first combo; Stand firm and still on the ground above you. Then, begin to slowly concentrate on your Earth chakra, channeling throughout your entire body and into the ground beneath you. As you've done that, close your eyes and imagine the dense structure that Earth carries, now imagine that structure breaking apart, into loose grains, and whilst your imagining, begin to use your Earth chakra to copy the image in your head, on the ground you're standing on, turning it into loose grains of sand that allows you to sink in, forming a small hole which your body goes into, successfully going into the ground, and as you do, the hole closes upon itself, leaving no trace of your existence.

Whilst being underground, you are capable of sensing whatever is above the ground, by pressure. Meaning when a foot steps onto the ground, you can feel it and know what is above yourself, so following onto that *makes a clone that runs around* keep a check, make sure to figure out where he is. Then, taking him by surprise, perform a sneak attack. At the exact moment you want to attack, remake a hole in the ground, by turning it into loose grains of sand again, jump out of the hole with massive power and grab onto your opponent. As you grab him, pull yourself up whilst pulling him down, making you get out of the hole standing above ground, and trapping him inside the hole. Binding him to his place, with only his head sticking out.

Alright.
*Upon listening to your instruction, I close my eyes and stand perfectly still and firm. I then, gather and focus my chakra all throughout my body, slowly converting it into earth chakra and have it flow into the ground. While doing this, I picture in my mind the dense structure that the earth possesses, its appearance and the feeling of it when one touches it with their hand. I then, picture that dense that structure breaking apart, crumbling bit by bit into loose grain. While picturing this, I apply this to the ground that I'm standing on using my earth chakra and slowly turning the ground beneath me into fine sand. As I do this, I begin to sink into the ground, forming a hole significant enough for me to slip in. As I go deeper and deeper into the ground, the hole above me begins to close up, leaving no trace of where I entered the earth.

While Submerged in the earth, I keep in mind of what you said. Using the magnetic forces to sense what is happening above, I hear the sounds of foot steps but, these steps sounded a bit loud and the sound was continuous. It didn't sound like walking so, it was safe to assume that someone was running. I listen closely and try to predict where they will step next and attempt to capture them while digging. Following the sounds and once I was sure where they where headed and where the next foot was about to meet with the ground, I remake the hole and launch my arms/hands out of the ground first, grabbing the targets ankles with massive power. As I grab him, I drag him down into the earth, robbing him of his freedom to move around while, at the same time turning more of the ground in fine sand in order to get out, and trapping him in the hole as it closes up only leaving his head sticking out. I then, stand above the clone looking down at him and say.*

your a hard one to catch, moving around like that. It was no easy task....

Splendid, superb, wonderful, most excellent, amazing and all the rest. >_>
(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.
(Doton: Shinju Zanshu no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 10
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user, emerging from the ground below the target area, pulls down the opponent so that only their head is above ground. Unable to move, the opponent can easily be decapitated or tortured.
Now we will be learning another combo as well, begin by standing firm and still, and without any suspicious movement, simply send your chakra into the ground beneath you and your opponent. Using that chakra, cause the very Earth to move about, by causing tremors on the structure, this will cause the Earth to shake violently, making your opponent fall onto the ground. Not hurting him to a great extent, but the main purpose of the tremor is to make him lose his balance and thus be open for a sneak attack.

Talking about sneak attacks, after you've formed the tremor and shook the ground, which in turn causes your opponent to fall, follow on with performing a single hand sign *shows* And again, send your Earth chakra into the ground. Then, forcefully manipulate the properties and structure of the Earth, making it form itself into a vast number of spikes that protrude out of the ground, at the same time as your opponent is falling, making him fall into a depending doom where he is stabbed and penetrated through all the spikes.

Okay.
*makes a shadow clone and has him stationed several meters away from me*
Lets do this.
*I begin by standing firmly and still, showing no signs of movement that would suggest I'm up to something. I then gather my chakra while, converting it into earth chakra and channel it into the ground that myself and my clone are standing on. I give my clone the signal and have him come at me. As he does this, I ready myself. Using that chakra I start to remember that time when my friend shook the tree because he wanted that apple that hanging high above using his incredible strength. Using that image and the chakra that I focused into the earth, I have the ground move around in different directions, causing tremors on the surface that we were standing on to violently shake. As my clone ran, he starts to lose his balance and tries to maintain his footing. I focus my chakra and on the goal, to make my clone completely lose his balance and fall back. Once he begins to fall back, I recall the sneak attack you mentioned and the hand-seal you showed to do it. So, I weave that hand-seal and focus more of my chakra into the ground but, more specifically on the spot where my clone is about to land on. Using shape manipulation to change the form of the ground, I change the structure in the form of many sharp spikes, where he is stabbed, pierced, and impaled upon landing.*

*sound of the clone dispersing*
