okay, A little thing before we start, do as I say or perhaps try, and we'll have no problems..
So what inspired you to learn Doton or even join RP as a whole?
-You can also tell me your RP goals and abition and how you plan on achieving them
-What and what have you learned?
To be honest, what inspired me to learn Doton was the position opening up in your application thread. ^^; But, the more I think about it, the more I realize that it's a part of the Basic 5, so learning Doton is obviously essential in doing that. Also, I'm just genuinely excited to learn Doton because earth is my favorite element inside and outside of the Narutoverse.
What inspired me to join RP as a whole was the creation of my own Naruto OC. I thought it would be very fun to RP with her; however, I learned that there were requirements to meet in order for her bio to be accepted (I wanted her to be a member of the Yuki clan). Once I learned more about the RP system and everything it entailed, I only became more interested because of the training and battling aspects and the fact that there are so many original jutsus on this site. So, I submitted another bio to start learning what I could and increase my post count.
My RP goals are pretty simple so far. I sort of mentioned one already, which was to meet the requirements for a Yuki bio. My other goals include learning the Basic 5, nin, gen, and taijutsu, and learn a NB fighting style because there seem to be a lot of interesting ones out there. Basically, I intend to achieve these goals by finding willing sensei/senpai-- such as yourself --to teach me, and maybe along the way, I'll add more RP goals to strive for in the future.
I've only learned Suiton up to A-rank because I'm still a jounin, and I can't learn S-rank jutsus until I become s-class. Other than that, I still consider myself to be very new to the RP here, and I'm excited to go from here and learn all that I can!
Nice and simple goal. Okay atleast you are getting somewhere.
Now, you will do some research and give me in your own words,
-What is Chakra?
-Elemental Chakra, though I call 'em tweaked chakra
-What is Earth as an element(real life element)
-Water is earth release pertaining to Narutoverse?
Based on Hindu, Buddhist and other traditions, chakras are the points or knots of spiritual energy in the body. Chakras are located at the points of physical energy in the body, such as arteries and pressure points. There are often seven chakras depicted, and they are associated with aspects such as wisdom, instinct and others.
However, chakra in the Narutoverse is even more complex than that. To us, chakra is the very essence of all life. While the chakras discussed previously coexist side by side, it takes the combination of spiritual and physical energy together to mold our chakra. And while the chakras stay in one place constantly, our chakra flows within us just as blood does. There is a circulatory system for our chakra just as there is for our blood. If we run out of chakra, we’ll die, just as certainly as if we run out of blood. Chakra is very important because it’s a part of our life force. It must be controlled and manipulated to perform even the most basic ninja technique, too.
Elemental chakra, as you said Priest-sensei, is quite tweaked because the amount of chakra and type of chakra can change regular chakra into elemental chakra. Elemental chakra revolves around the five, main elemental types: Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning and Wind. They are the foundation of all elemental ninjutsu, and they are balanced by being strong against one nature and weak against another. As ninjas become higher in rank, the more natures they learn, and high-level shinobi master at least two. Several advanced types of elements also exist, which are known as kekkei genkai or kekkei tota. Most shinobi have chakra that leans toward one of the main types; this is known as elemental affinity. There’s a simple test one can go through to find out what affinity they possess.
Earth as an element is the ground beneath us. It’s the very matter that we stand on. Earth comes in many forms, such as rocks, soil, mud and dust. Earth can be seen in different aspects of the terrain, like mountain ranges, plateaus, canyons and caves. Earth has been used—and continues to be used—for growth, whether it be growing food or constructing buildings.
Earth Release is a method of nature transformation of one of the five, main elemental types: earth. A user of Earth Release can control the earth surrounding them or create it for offensive and defensive purposes. Earth Release users mainly manipulate dirt, mud or rock, and the user can change the composition and strength of the earth from hard to soft. They can also manipulate the density, making the earth heavier or lighter. Earth is strong against water because earth can absorb water, but earth is weak against lightning because the lightning can travel through and break earth apart easily. Earth is used in the kekkei genkai Wood Release and Lava Release, and earth is used in the kekkei tota Dust Release as well.
-Elemental chakra as you said, is normal chakra that has undergone nature manipulation. When I say nature manipulation, it means you add essence/special characteristics to your normal chakra
*heat and corrosiveness for fire elemental chakra
*moisturized, cool for water
*Sharp for wind
*Sturdy for earth
*Also heat for lightning
Elemetal chakra is thus formed by changing the nature of your normal chakra into that of one of the five elements in order to perform elemental ninjutsu.
-Earth as an element is hard, sturdy, rich in nutrient for plant growth and is readily available. It combines well with some elements and not well with others.
Now tell me how Earth combines with other 4 elements and the by-product in real life and interms of KG.
Tell me if its a good or bad combination.
Name 10 good users of earth.
And thank you for everything you added as well. ^^
Alright, firstly, how earth combines with the other four elements and the by-product in real life. When earth is combined with wind, the sharpness of the wind wears down on the earth and grinds it until it becomes dust. Next, earth is combined with fire, and the heat of fire melts the earth down until the ores within the earth can turn into metal. Earth is combined with water, making the earth soft until it becomes mud. Hmm, and perhaps, when earth is combined with lightning, a crater is created because the lightning is striking the earth at such a fast speed?
In terms of KG, it looks a little something like this:
Earth combines with wind and fire to create Dust Release.
Earth combines with fire to create Lava Release.
Earth combines with water to create Wood Release.
Also, it’s believed that earth combines with lightning to create Explosion Release.
Sorry, sensei, but by good or bad combinations, do you mean in regards to earth and the elements in real life or earth as used in KG?
10 users of earth would be Kakashi Hatake, Kitsuchi, Kurotsuchi, Akatsuchi, Jiraiya, Kakuzu, Mu, Onoki, Yamato, and Mei Terumi.
-earth and lightning is a bad combination as lighting tears through earth so I don't see them combiniing. This is different from KG combination as they are combined on a chakra level.
And thats what I meant by good or bad combination.
earth+wind jutsu won't give a good combo
earth+fire very good
earth+water fairly good
Earth+lightning not good.
Now tell me how you will mold and focus your earth chakra into your
Starting with my hands, I would begin by channeling my chakra there until I can feel a tingling in my fingers. Once I feel as though I have enough chakra in my hands, I would start molding my chakra into earth chakra, picturing different examples of earth in my mind’s eye. Depending on what jutsu I’m performing, I would imagine examples of earth that would fit with that jutsu. Then, I would gather the earth chakra in my hands and perform any handseals needed to activate the jutsu.
Well, similar to my hands, I would start by channeling my chakra to my mouth until I can feel it almost overflowing with chakra. Then, I would start using it to create earth chakra, and I would think of mud or clay, types of earth that could flow easily from my mouth. I would remind myself of how much speed, power or both I need to force the earth chakra out of my mouth depending on the jutsu I’m performing. After saying the name of the jutsu, I would adjust accordingly and spit the earth chakra out.
Finally, my legs. Again, I would begin by sending my chakra down to my legs until I can feel it spreading to my toes. I would begin molding earth chakra, thinking of my legs as two, great pillars of earth that are strong and tough. I would remind myself of the connection I can make between my feet and the earth beneath me, as well. Depending on what jutsu I’m using, I think about how to use my legs for the duration of the jutsu.
*sweatdrop* I hope this is what you were looking for, sensei!
Good work, so now I want you to describe to be how you will move you chakra if you are to use an earth jutsu on an opponent standing on top of the ground in long range.
secondly, channel your earth chkra through objects
Well, I guess it would depend on the type of jutsu you would be using on the opponent. If you used a jutsu to send an opponent flying through the air or falling into the ground, then you would want to move your chakra to the earth underneath their feet. Then, you could create a pillar to launch them into the air or a large crack to trap them within the ground. Or if you wanted to send earth projectiles and streams at an opponent, then you would focus on the earth directly in front of you or to the sides of you. That way, you can send your chakra through the ground, creating said projectiles or streams to send toward your opponent.
As I discussed with Earth Release, you could channel your earth chakra through things like rocks, and you can use your chakra to change the density of the rocks, the hardness of the rocks, or both. I suppose you could channel your earth chakra to do similar things to other objects, especially if they’re made of earth or made of things containing earth, like metal. I, um… don’t know much else to say here.
Nice going,
yea, you can channel your earth chakra through metal object as it is tangible, so it is only logical you can channel your earth chakra into things as long as its tangible. Rock, weapon, human, wood, clothe, etc.
Now before we start treating the techniques one by one, Do you have any question whatsoever?
Okay, we done with the basics and now for the next phase.
MY training method is a bit different, I don't need to tell you to start channeling doton chakra to create earth as we've done that, I will teach you how to use each jutsu appropriately and how to combine them with other elements in battle, how useful each jutsu is and why every earth jutsu is versatile.
So I will post a technique then I want you to
-Create a scenerio where you use it in battle against NPCs. You will use 3 jutsus, the earth jutsu I posted combined with 2 other jutsus you have learned.
- Create another scenerio where you use it in a different way from the one above.
-3 advantages and 3 disaadvatages
-How would you defend from it
-Picture
-Ask question, what ifs, etc.
(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
You use this to create small pillars of earth, tools and shields. You actually need an earth source which apparently you are standing on so you channel your chakra to the ground and form small structure from it.
Alright. You probably know this, but I’ve only learned Suiton, so all of my combinations will involve water techniques. Sorry if there’s any redundancy to my scenarios for this reason. *sweatdrop*
Scenario 1: I’m faced with one enemy, who’s standing away form me at mid-range. Before the enemy has a chance to move, I knead the necessary amount of chakra, pool it in my stomach, and spew water from my mouth. The water comes out in the form of mist, and it quickly surrounds me as well as my opponent, but it keeps me out of my opponent’s sight.
Then, from within the mist, I distract my opponent by throwing him off-balance with small pillars of earth that come up from under his feet. He remains focused on avoiding the pillars until they disperse, and I’m given enough time to perform the handseals for my next technique.
As my opponent struggles, I form an orb of water in my hand, and I move as though I’m going to throw it. However, the orb extends and takes the shape of a whip. I keep hold of it and stay focused on it as the whip shoots forward and makes contact with my opponent. It gives him a lash across his torso, and the force of the whip pushes him back as well.

Doton no Jutsu- Earth Release Technique

Descripton: Creates small pillars of earth, small tools, and small shields of earth
Suiton: Suiben- Water Release: Water Whip

Damage points: 30
Description: After the user performs a series of 3 hand seals Rat → Dog → Ox, the user creates a whip of water that can be used to strike the opponent with a lashing action or wrap around the target to bind them.
Scenario 2: I’m up against two enemies, both at mid-range away from me with about 5 feet between each other. They run toward me, throwing a combination of shuriken and kunai. I defend myself by channeling my chakra into the ground in front of me and quickly summoning small chunks of earth. I form them into shields at a fast pace, defending myself from the incoming weapons.
Then, as they’re still running forward, I weave the handseal for my next technique. I slam my foot into the ground, and water suddenly rises from the ground and rips toward my opponents at great speeds. It hits one, but the other still maintains course toward me.
My remaining opponent is now within short-range, so I create a ball of water in my hands and make it swirl very fast. I thrust my hands out, and a spiraling jet hits the opponent right in the gut, sending him flying.

Suiton: Mizu Kamikiri- Water Release: Rising Water Cutter
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid

Damage Points: 30
Description: After waving the Tiger hand seal the user slams his foot to the ground, causing water to rise up and travel towards his target as a slicing jet.
Suiton: Seiryusho- Water Release: Azure Dragon Palm
Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user unleashes a spiralling torrent of water from his hands.
Pros:- The technique can be used for offense and defense purposes, making it a very flexible jutsu, and there’s a variety of uses for it in battle.
- It’s a short to mid-ranged jutsu, making it very useful either in close combat or mid-ranged combat.
- The technique would be very useful as part of a combo because no matter what way you use it, it can be a set-up for a stronger, finishing jutsu.
Cons:- Being a D-rank jutsu, this technique could be overpowered by higher-ranked jutsus, especially lightning jutsus because earth is weak to lightning.
- This jutsu is short to mid-ranged, meaning that an opponent at long range wouldn’t be affected by this technique.
- Certain weapons and tools, depending on their use or if they’re used with another nature type, could penetrate the earth shields this jutsu creates.
Counter: Probably the easiest way to defend myself from this technique would be to move out of its range. It’s short to mid-ranged, so if I just kept at long-range away from the user, I should be able to evade the jutsu.
Question(s): So I’m not entirely sure about this. Should my pros/cons/counters be in response to the jutsu you’re teaching me or the scenarios I present?
Be careful though how you use hidding in the mist tech. If it hides you from your opponent's sight, it also hides your opponent from your sight except you possess the byakugan or sensory. So you can say if he is concentrating on countering your earth jutsu or he has already done that. However you can target the last known location before the mist blinds you.
So before I teach you the next one, I have to jump a little and bring a c-rank jutsu then back to D-rank.
(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. 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.
Very useful though simple, it can win you the match if you use it well. You channel you earth chakra underneat you then you loosing the soil which allow you to burrow and move though it.
Sorry for the delayed response, sensei. But, thank you for answering my question.
Ahhh. I see! Thanks for explaining that to me. The senpai who taught me that didn’t really mention if the user of Hiding in Mist could or couldn’t see through the mist. So I kind of assumed the user could.
Sure thing!
Scenario 1: I’m fighting an opponent who’s at long range from me. A river runs along my right side and his left side. I begin by channeling my chakra into my hands and performing the Tiger hand seal. I use the water from the river to create a few clones of myself.
My clones run toward my opponent. Once they are within mid-range of him, my clones attack by throwing kunai and shuriken at him.
Meanwhile, as my clones distract my opponent, I’m channeling my chakra into the earth beneath me, turning it into sand. I proceed to go underground, sensing that my clones are running out on the surface, so I move quickly to where my opponent is standing. I make sure that I am underneath the ground behind him.
At great speeds, I emerge from underground, springing up and surprising my opponent from behind. I quickly gather my chakra and create a sword of water. I stab him through the back, and the battle ends.

Description: A technique that utilizes water to create a sword. The sword can be wielded in the normal fashion, allowing the ninja to cut and stab like with a normal blade.
Note: Doesn't require a water source.
Scenario 2: I’m in close combat with an opponent. He possesses a sword, and I don’t. He swings his sword at me, trying to slash me, and I’m channeling chakra throughout my whole body. My opponent makes a move with his sword, and it’s sure to cut me. However, my body transforms into liquid. The sword passes through me at the point of contact, and the water comes back together and takes its original shape. Then, I switch back to my human form.
I gather my chakra into my right hand and place my left hand on my right forearm. I aim right for the center of my opponent’s chest and send a quick jet of water. The force of the attack sends my opponent back a ways.
Finally, with enough space between myself and my opponent, I channel my chakra into the ground beneath me, turning it into soft sand. Before my opponent can react, I go underground and continue to head downward. I escape to a depth my opponent can’t reach. With that, my opponent retreats.

You channel you earth chakra underneath you then you loosen the soil which allow you to burrow and move through it.
Pros:- This jutsu is long-ranged, meaning that it would be most useful in any range of battle because of how much distance this jutsu can cover.
- The user can sense what’s happening on the surface while using this jutsu, making it very useful in analyzing the situation and planning future attacks.
- This jutsu would be very useful for a surprise attack because the user would be able to sense where the opponent is above ground and be able to attack from behind.
Cons:- The user cannot use handseals while using this jutsu probably because there’s not enough room underground to do such.
- The user cannot use any earth technique above C-rank or else this jutsu will be disrupted, and the user will be crushed.
- If the ground underneath the user is crushed, cracked or broken up in any kind of way, the user probably cannot turn the earth into sand and go under.
Counter: I would use an earth technique to break up the ground beneath the user of this jutsu because that way, they won’t be able to change the earth beneath them and burrow under. I would be able to keep them on the surface.
