Kakuzu silently emerges from the ground directly behind you without disturbing the ground in the slightest, before suddenly placing his hand upon your shoulder and whispering in your ear.
Tell me now, what do you know about Earth Release?

Waiting at the training grounds for Kakuzu sensei, I see no one near me or hear anything, meaning that Kakuzu-sensei is either hiding and trying to surprise me or he's just nearly late but the latter seems impossible because he's known to be always on time so the former is probably the real answer as to where my masked, mysterious sensei is. I look behind me to see if there is anything coming but I don't see anything near me and I continue just looking in the horizon with a bored look until I notice a hand touching me and a silent but clear voice whispering in my ear as I turn around with a horrified look just to see Kakuzu standing behind me as he asks me what I know about Earth release. It was kind of easy because Earth is my favorite element and I had an Earth affinity too (RPing as Yamato so most of this is for RPing purposes) so I would know something about Doton but looking at the man in front of me I see almost 100 years of shinobi experience in his eyes so I couldn't deny my inferiority and lack of knowledge about shinobi arts in comparison to the man standing in front of me. Without any moment of stutter or hesitation, I inhale and exhale slowly, calming my nerves before deciding to speak up.
Earth Release is the element that, as its name says, manipulates the earth around the user in a way that can do such thing as: Alter the terrain the way the user wants, create flammable mud that can be combined with fire to heat up the mud and if one's creative then it can work wonders. It can also be used to create non-flammable mud swamps that can be used in several ways such as sinking the opponent or create custom jutsus to manipulate the mud surface in offensive, defensive and supplementary ways as well. It can also be used to create earth creatures or objects in different shapes and/or ways. It can also be used to alter the weight of an object or surface with the light and added weight jutsu and the stronger versions of them the super light and added weight jutsu to either make the user weight less thus giving him more speed and agility while sacrificing the strength of the punch or kick if that's what you're making weight lighter or you can use the added weight jutsu to make your punches and kicks stronger but the disadvantage would be that it would make them slower, it can also be used in other ways and also in conjunction with another earth jutsu such as the Swamp of the Underworld and using the light weight jutsu to make the swamp sink faster by making it weight less. (I saw that it could be used that way a year ago but I don't know if it can be used to make the swamp sink faster today) It can also help in petrifying the swamp by adding more weight at it so it would lose its sinking properties. Another cool jutsu is the Hardening technique, a jutsu that releases chakra from all over the body of the user to create an armor of sorts that protects the user from several jutsus, create extended weapons of rock to attack the opponent and breaks out of most A-ranked jutsus due to it being a S-ranked surge but the downside being that the user cannot mold chakra for another element while having the armor on. Earth is also the most versatile element after Wind release because it can be used in every surface that we step on unless it's water so the possibilities are endless, the only limit to the ways that Earth can be used is the imagination of the user. It interacts well with Fire because if the ninja or his clone used a mud river, the ninja could combine it with a fire stream to create a lava river of sorts but also melt the terrain to heat up the ground and the rocks and trap the opponent or just melt the ground below him so it's neutral to fire. Neutral to wind as well, it has fewer possibilities of combining than Katon but it still can be used good if one's creative enough. I don't know if this would work but I'd create a jutsu that would create a wind shell around a rock or just use it like in Avatar to push the Earth towards the opponent or something. It's obviously stronger than Water and weak against Lightning. Earth chakra is also a main component in some KKGs or Advanced Elements such as Lava Release that uses Fire and Earth chakra, Blast release that uses Lightning and Earth, Magnet release that uses Earth and Wind, Steel release that uses Fire and Earth (right?), and Wood release that combines Water and Earth chakra together.

Kakuzu listens attentively to his students recollection of Earth release, taking note that his student has seen a few battles or has done some basic research.
"A very impressive display. Your general knowledge of Earth is the best I've ever encountered in a new student. I'll give you a run down of all of the basic elements, to flesh out your understanding of the basic five as a whole. Make sure to commit this to memory, it will be useful knowledge for the future. Once you've read and understood the following, we will continue."
Earth Release is often considered the element of sturdiness and durability. Unlike other elements which come and go with time, it is an ever eternal presence in the environment which endures all types of weather regardless of how harsh conditions become. Earth can be used as a shield or blockade defensively to dissipate the force of powerful waves of water or non-cutting gusts of wind. It can withstand great heats, acting as a heat sink but also as a physical barrier to prevent weapons passing through. Its strong against water, its natural ability to prevent water from passing through it whilst passing through water itself is a reason for this. However its weak against lightning. The lightning conducted along the earth causes it to break up, lose its natural composition and break down due to the penetrative abilities of Raiton. Doton can either be used in this solid rocky form or its adhesive mud-like variant, granting the element further versatility. As well as the conventional uses of the element, the mud variant can be used to bind opponents in place, clash with other elemental jutsus or be used in many effective combinations. The mud-variant is most commonly used along with Fire to form pseudo-lava (molten mud), making for a very dangerous substance.
Along with Suiton, its versatility stems from the state of matter it naturally occurs in. Due to having physical substance, Doton can be shaped into various structures from defensive walls to jagged spikes, from an earth dragon to a single pillar of earth. Furthermore, in terms of terrain-based advantage, Doton can be used to manipulate the ground beneath and around the opponent, allowing for limitless potential in creating successful combos. I like to think of the element as the perfect balance between offensive, defensive and supplementary usage, as no confines exist on what the user can create.

Wind Release is the element that allows us to create and manipulate wind. When you think of wind you think of something that is fast, free flowing, unpredictable, and strong. In the Narutoverse and in our RP, wind release has a variety of different properties which makes it versatile in its own right. For one, we have the ability to create long and short powerful gusts of flowing wind. Mainly these techniques that are designed to provide resistance against oncoming attacks, reversing the trajectory of weaponry, etc. We can also create short concentrated/compressed bursts of wind that give a pseudo solid form which can be used for blunt force or strong impacts. These would mainly be offensive in nature. There is also vacuum or suction power that can be generated, drawing objects in for close combat or sucking away the oxygen for suffocation. However, one of the more prominent abilities of wind release that we’ve come to know from the Narutoverse is the powerful cutting power that it possesses. Mainly from characters like Naruto, Asuma, and Sora, the wind nature has been shown to be able to slice and cut through things like butter. Wind is the movement of many gases in the air, though we’ve been shown to manipulate just the air itself and call it wind release by comparison due to the relationship.

Water is the most calm and free-flowing elements. These characteristics dictate its nature, making it useful in combat due to the fluidity and intense lack of control that is required to utilize it. Lightning and Fire take extreme control, but manipulation of water takes calmer movements and so controlling it comes more naturally. While its the calmest element, it can also become one of the most destructive. Putting a large amount of force behind of wave gives it power that can't be paralleled by all the other elements. In terms of scale, Water has the highest potential to be the "best" element, a clear testament of this is Kisame of the Akatsuki. Water comes in three main forms: normal water, sticky water and oily flammable water.
Lightning Release is the use of high frequency and is the most fleeting of all the elements. It arguably takes the most control due to its dangerous nature and the lethality it possess. The interaction of the molecules within it, further contribute to its level of instability, requiring the user to take much more care in handling this element compared to the others. Fundamentally, its the control over raw streams of electricity which can be tamed with the right control, it relates most to the Fire element due to its destruction if not contained or used properly and the high level of self-control someone requires to manipulate it correctly. One common misconception is that Lightning release travels as fast as natural lightning, when in reality Lightning is far slower than its naturally occurring counterpart due the user taking control of/taming the lightning. The element itself occurs in three main forms: Normal Lightning, Plasma and pale-blue pillars which emit electricity.
Fire Release is the usage of superheated chakra to create flames and heat-intensive attacks. Its created through channeling Katon chakra to the user's lungs and exhaling the built chakra in various forms. Katon is most commonly used in its fire-based form, but it can also take the shape of a plume of superheated ash or a misty flammable gas. In terms of raw potential, its considered the least versatile element as it excels in offensive capabilities, lacks in supplementary usage and is ill-suited to use as a defensive element. Despite this, Katon is the most ferocious element to contend with due to its sheer raw power. The heat of the element makes it capable of reducing earthen structures to molten mud, the parasitic nature of it means it preys on the oxygen within wind-based attacks to supplement the flames and even against its elemental superior, large-scale Katon techniques are capable of reducing large bodies of water to scorching mist of dense steam. The Katon element has little usage outside of destruction, to a certain degree its the hardest elemental nature to tame due to its sporadic and uncontrollable nature.

As he praises me about my knowledge of the Earth release element, I actually feel a bit embarrassed. Being told that I had the best general knowledge in Earth he's ever seen is actually quite an accomplishment but I didn't allow that to get over my head and focused on listening to him and as Kakuzu sensei explains the basic elements, I look at him with an awed look, like a child looks at his father or his idol. I was amazed by Kakuzu-sensei's knowledge of the basic elements, of course he would know this much being one of the strongest ninjas that I knew and I actually know a lot of them but it was still great to be trained by a guy so strong and knowledgeable. Finishing his lecture on the elements, with an awed look on my face I open my mouth to say all I could muster right now. Wow ... That was a lot. I have no questions right now, Kakuzu-sensei. We can continue, if you feel fit to do so.

Before he can respond to his student, Lord of Kaos appears and screams "YOU FOOL!". The sound wave from his voice is powerful enough to knock him down. What in the hell? Before he can react, LoK appears next to his head and...he gets speed blitzed. Kakuzu is knocked over the head and a large bump grows from where he was hit. I wonder what I did to deserve that he thinks to himself. Nothing probably.
(Doton No Jutsu) - Earth Release Technique
Alright, come over here and place both of your palms on the ground, before focusing your doton chakra into it. Mold your chakra and utilize it to change the structure of the ground itself to forcefully cause a single fairly blunt pillar of earth to rise out of the ground in between the space of your laid out palms. Take care, you could very well impale either of your hands if you lose concentration, even for a second. This technique can create nearly any earth-based construct you desire, as long as its small in magnitude and size. Its best used for making pillars, small tools, weapons ad shields.
Key points: One of the most useful lower ranking techniques. Its used quite commonly, due to its sheer versatility in battle. People tend to use it to create a pillar beneath them for aerial elevation, but when doing this make sure you specify that the pillar is blunt and will cause no damage when propelling you up into the air. Dodging via movement is sometimes more Charka-efficent than direct technique clashes, so always make sure to assess the situation correctly. Never use this jutsu to evade large scale attacks e.g. S-Rank Fire walls and streams.
(Doton: Gansetsukon) - Earth Release: Rock Section Cane
Now, break off the pillar you have raised from the ground and focus your chakra into it, utilizing your chakra to sharpen the blunt construct of rock into serrated spear which can be used as a melee or ranged weapon. All the while, make sure to maintain its form, so it doesn't crumble as you attempt to morph its structure. Once you're content with your spear, toss it towards the nearby targets and aim to strike the bull's eye.
Key points: None.
