Nope :'( I always wanted to learn DotonNo training in Doton before this?
Alright, so you've had previous training before so I won't go with the basics of asking you about what a shinobi is and chakra and blah blah blah.
Though I will ask you to tell me everything you know about Doton as it stands; strengths and weaknesses, noted Doton users, and tell me how you think most earth techniques are constructed.
I understand Sensei, thank you for explaining this to me ^^' and about the method question, hmm . . . that would be a noAlright, you touched a little bit on everything. To dive in depth about the weakness earth suffers to lightning it's due to the fact that earth is a conductor for electricity as it's naturally grounded. While water is also a conductor for lightning it doesn't suffer the same weakness to lightning as it doesn't neutralize the affects of water chakra like lightning does for earth.
You mentioned about how earth was versatile but not in which ways. Earth release deals with more than just hard solid earth. We've witnessed manipulation of mud/liquified earth, soil, sand (to a degree), alternative manipulations such as metals (though not extensively). As well you don't have just the limitation manipulating the ground or earth around you, you can even create earth from your body thus allowing you to used the style without being close/connected to the ground.
Now then, have you ever had training under Liliana, Scorps or know of the method training system?
I readed it and i completly understand the method, well to be honest i never did this method and it's new to me so i'm looking forward to this training U_U, we can move onLong story short, I don't train by techniques or ranks like most sensei. I train through a method system which groups techniques of all ranks within an element together based on their similar traits and properties. I teach you the details of the method; it's definition it's advantages and weaknesses and how techniques are used and constructed. Once you pass the method you learn the techniques in that method regardless of the rank. The only ranks restrictions are what you can and can't use based on your own rank. Since you're an S-class you can learn up to S-class so you're alright.
This was developed by Scorps and Liliana and being the unholy spawn of their love I've adopted and contributed to the development of that method and I use it in nearly all my training. My slight difference in my training is I take you through the methods first before taking you through the techniques. This is still experimental at least my rendition but it should bare appropriate fruits. Understand?
*walks in*
*sees the Method system*
Oh my goodness, that brings back some memories... *remembers his own Doton Training last year*
In any case, I won't be doing that since I'm not nearly as adept at this "training" thing as Reborn-san is. I'm still new, so bear with me. I hope you don't mind if I RP a little when I train.
You must be registered for see linksarrived at the training grounds, seeing his student, Staz, waiting dilligently. He walked up to him and gave him a small nod.
"Hello, Staz-kun. I'm Yu Narukami of Konoha. I believe you wanted to continue Earth Training?"
"I see your previous sensei has already covered the basics. So let's move on to the techniques."
Yu stomped his left foot on the ground, creating a small pillar of Earth that rose up to his chest area. Breaking off a chunk of rock, he applied shape manipulation with his chakra to form a small, round Earth shield.
"I want you to mold your Earth chakra and shape it into a weapon. Then, attack me. I will defend."
"While you are attacking me, give me an advantage of this technique, a disadvantage, and a creative usage."
"Also, Don't be afraid to ask questions. This is a learning experience for both of us."
He put the shield in front of his chest, waiting for the student to respond.
(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.
Okay .__. after i notice a weird man coming to the training ground i immediately break off a chunk of the earth pillar before channellingSuddenly you see the earth collapse into a tunnel that I emerge out of with a shovel. "Whew finally got it right. I accidently interrupted so many other training threads trying to dig my way here. 0_0, my name is Ragna or you can call me Mr.190 if you want and I'll be hijacking your training from here on out. Perform the last jutsu that Souji senpai showed you using his format then we will return to the method system. xD LOL jk, I have a template but that's not it."
sorry for long response, i was very busy ;_;"Dafu- Who does he....."
Ragna who has a tendency to get carried away noticed this jerk coming at him with a load of disrespect...it was time to teach him respect. Since this was doton class Ragna performed one of his original and feared doton jutsus causing Kenpachi to fly into it. It was completely unnecessary but he wanted to show off his doton mastery. Ragna did not dare attack or else he would accidently kill him...instead his gaia golemn struck a few sexy victory poses.
"Yo....don't do that again Earth was the first element I mastered so this is nothing*looks around*.....Whoops looks like I overdid it...its the kiri in me. Anyway that was good."
( Doton: Gaia ) – Earth Release: Gaia
Rank: S
Type: Attack/Defense
Range: Short - Long (Made short range-long range reach)
Chakra cost: 40 (-30 per turn)
Damage Points: 80
Description: This jutsu represents a mastery over Earth and takes great skill to learn. The user will perform the Snake handseal and slam their hands on the ground causing a Massive Earthen being to rise. The Earthen construct is made in the form of a beautiful, nimble yet strong, female warrior with three faces all with different emotions. An expressionless face in the front, a face full of sadness on the left, another face full of anger and hate on the right. She has 6 arms and each arm contains a Large Earthen axe that she uses to attack the enemy in all ranges. Having multiple limbs makes the Earthen being more destructive and versatile in battle. Despite being created in large size as she is about two heads (relative to the Golemn head size) taller than the Great Earthen Golemn in height, she is able to strike and move fairly fast as she is smaller in mass being about 2/3 of its width. Only masters of Earth can perform this technique successfully. When the user is not controlling the creature with their chakra it merely becomes a statue as an earthen construct unable to move. To control it, the user must be in contact with it and spending chakra, therefore not being able to use other elements at the same time.
-Must have mastered Earth
-Must be taught by Omega5
-Can only be used twice and has a 3 turn cooldown period
Here aim at something a little less helpless like those ants who keep following me wherever I go
Channel your doton chakra throughout your arm and create a ring of rocks near it, be in full control as I will be making unnecessary noises to distract you. *creates small earthen pots and pans* When you have full control of the rocks release your chakra and fling it towards those staffs stuck in the pillars to get rid of them.

Sorry for the super late reply, school killed me, i promise it wont happen again ;_;Good now perform these next two..no need to follow a template...im trying out new training styles and see what works best for teacher and student. In your responses I want performance and any additional info like uses, counters, or anything interesting you can think of and I will give you an overview of anything you might have missed or got wrong.

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. While inside the earth, the user cannot make handseals and can only use Earth techniques below C-Rank. If he tries to do a higher ranked technique, he'll disrupt the Hiding like a mole technique and be left crushed.
