"Doton is one of the 5 basic elements. As the name suggests it governs the ability to control the earth and rocks, wether it be in the form of dirt, mud or rock. Certain jutsus can even change the density of the user (light weight technique) Doton is weak to raiton but it is most effective against suiton. Like the other 5 elements it is very versatile. It can be combined with other elements to create newe natures (lava, explosion) and it has a plethoria of jutsu. Ranging from Hiding like a Mole, Rock Golem, Mud wall, subterrean voyage, and the lightweight technique. Doton can be used to increase offensive powers by augementing hits with heavy material or defensive techniques like using rocks as walls. It's control over the earth can allow doton users to manipulate the landscape to their desire."From that one mountain you had your eyes fixed on, Feitan appeared in fast speeds. A little late, though. But the short sized ninja did not hesitate to quickly make up for it and talk to his student.
"So, you're the new student, huh? Alright. So tell me what do you know about Earth Release? Try to cover everything, and feel free to use external sources while breaking the fourth wall, but do not copy paste please!"

[B]Two disadvantages (no obvious ones, be creative):[/B]
[LIST]
[*]1. Jutsu is primarly location based and counter based so the caster needs to make sure conditions are ideal unlike other directly offensive jutsus where they can be activated anytime.
[*]2. Jutsu can become less useful if opponents lacks earth nautre like me.

[B]How would you use it in battle:[/B] I'd use it on an ignorant opponent who tries to use earth jutsu directly against me.
[B]Perform it:Soldier 76 gathered chakra in his hand to perform the doton jutsu. First, he quickly did the hand seal and set his hand on the ground and let out the chakra. Nearby a pile of rocks was physically affected and crashed down in response[/B]
