*i drop out the sky and strike the ground which collapses beneath us. We fall into an enormous cavern where the six paths of pein wait*
Before we begin let's go through the basics. Tell me all you know about earth release. Include its uses, forms, elemental strengths and weaknesses, and possible results when mixed with other elements.
"Doton is one of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques and allows the user to manipulate the surrounding earth for offensive and defensive purposes or create it.Earth Release techniques have the ability to change the strength and composition of the earth from being as hard as metal to as soft as clay,like Deidara's bombs as well as manipulating their density, making them heavier or lighter like Ohnoki did against Madara's meteors. Hmph, I guess this makes earth techniques one of the most versatile of the elemental techniques. Not to mention that pre-existing earth is not necessary , for the user can create it with their own chakra.
A strength for Doton is its resistance to Suiton because earth naturally contains water or absorbs water to the point when it becomes muddy then dries up. Its weakness however is Raiton because lighting naturally breaks through earth.
when Doton is mixed with Suiton it results in Wood style or mokuton. When mixed with Wind and Fire natures it creates the kekkai genkai Dust Release or Jinton."
You're correct for the most part but there are other ways earth interacts with other elements. Saturate earth with enough water and mud is created. Also fire at high temperatures can melt earth into a hot molten form like lava, another KG. Now that you have the basic info we can start with jutsu. Feel free to ask if you ever have any questions.
Since you've never molded doton chakra before try acquiring a strong mental image of the nature of earth (a description of earth's characteristics) and mold a portion of your chakra to mimic that nature. Then channel a small amount of doton chakra into the ground and manipulate the earth to raise three small pillars from the ground, each with a different shape.

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
To begin Hidan claps his hands into the Doton hand seal before molding his chakra into that of Earth style. Next he exerts a small anount of that chakra into the ground before manipulating it to rise up into three small pillars,one in the shape of a triangle,one in the shape of circle and one in the shape of a cylinder.
Eh...ok try again. Remember this technique doesn't require handseals, you can merely slam you hand on the ground or stomp your foot. Also make sure you're molding doton chakra correctly.
Lel sorry about that
-------------- Hidan once again begins to channel his chakra throughout his body before concentrating it mostly into his hands and arms.Next he slams his palms into the ground below causing three pillars ti rise up around himself.
Another bust. Take your time and focus on molding doton chakra first. The mental image i mentioned earlier will help you get attuned with the element. Once you've gotten the hang of it try the jutsu and be sure to explain how you do it. Chakra won't make things happen on its own.
Hidan begins by concentrating his chakra into his center then molding that chakra into that of Doton nature. He then distributes that chakra throughout both of his arms and into the palms of his hands. Finally he slams both of his hands into the ground dispersing it throughout the earth causing three pillars to rise around him
Uh...close enough. Now find a small chunk of rock and use shape manipulation to form a staff from it. It is possible to throw it or even create multiple staffs but you'll only need one for now. Fight off this guy.
*one of the Peins comes at you and throws a spinning kick to your side*

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.
Hidan kicks a chunk rock from one of his earlier made pillars up into the air with his right foot before catching it with his left. He channels his chakra into the rock and uses his mind to manipulate it into the shape of a staff blocking Pain's kick with it as he does so.
Good job. Now release doton chakra to your arm and produce a ring of floating rocks near it before hurling them at your target using your chakra. Strike him out.

Hidan then raises his hands into the rat handseal and releases the rest of the stored up chakra into the ground and manipulates the earth around the Pain he struck with the rock rings into a large dome surrounding Pain. Finally,he manipulates two much larger sections of rock to surround the aforementioned dome crushing the Pain inside.
Nicely done. Here is the best method of underground travel. You will need to channel doton chakra around your body, transforming the ground you are touching into fine sand that will be easy to dig through swiftly. Not only that, while you are underground you should be able to sense your location and people on the surface through the earth's magnetic fields. Finish this obstacle course. I recommend cheating.

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.

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.
Next, simply point your arm at your target and manipulate the ground, creating a few sharp pillars of rock to impale him from below. Pick one from the roster and do your thing.

Hidan looks at the obstacle course with a chuckle before focusing a large sum of chakra into his core before channeling it all down into the earth below,grinding the sturdy rocks into that of sand like substance.He digs down into the ground up soil and swiftly makes his way throughout the obstacles course before raising from the ground and claiming the trophy with a triumphant smirk.
Hidan sets the trophy down before turning to the nervous line up of the Pains."Hah,I've been waiting for this!"He raises his hand up to the Preta path as he simultaneously manipulates the ground underneath him with chakra causing sharp spikes to raises from the ground piercing the Pain's body all over
Next Hidan looks to the Pain running with the stack of manga,he sends a small portion of chakra into to the ground and manipulates it into creating a small earthquake knocking the running Pain off balance causing his manga to fall on top of him.
Great. Now i want you to produce mud in your mouth as a thick, sticky blob. Then launch it in someone's face and ruin his day. It could also work as a sticky trap if aimed at the floor.
*points to Pein merrily whistling a tune as he walks*
(Doton: Dorosandan) – Earth Release: Mudshot
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15

(Doton: Iwa Yado Kuzushi) - Earth Release: Stone Lodging Destruction
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A (up to 60)
Descripton: The user will do one hand seal and cause nearby earth structures (either natural occurring ones on the field (such as cave ceilings, cliffs, etc), man made (buildings, etc) or jutsu made (up to C-Rank active structures)) to collapse and fall. This technique allows the ninja to control nearby stone and rock and dislodge any vulnerable or sensitive spots, causing the structure to collapse. This can be especially useful if in a cave or a stone lodging. The technique can loosen the rocks and cause them to come raining down on whomever is trapped inside. The damage depends on the size of the cavern or rock lodging above or nearby the target and not on the amount of chakra used which doesn't need to be high. A large cave with a thick ceiling can easily do the physical damage equivalent to an A-Rank technique but due to the damage not being focused or chakra fueled, its also easily defendable.
Now perform the Tiger handseal and transform the ground beneath your target into a river of mud to make him lose his balance as he is carried away from you. Watch out, one of these guys is getting a bit rape-y o_o
*points to Asura path trying to sneak up on you from behind with a creepy smile on his face*
(Doton: Doryū Taiga) - Earth Release: Earth Flow River

Description: After forming the needed hand seal (Tiger), the user transforms the ground underneath their opponent into a river of mud that throws them off balance and carries them away from the user. The mud created by this technique can also be used as a medium for the Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet technique.
Hidan inhales as he gathers up chakra into his gut before slowly molding that chakra into Doton and then altering it into a mud like substance. He then spits the goo out at one of the Pain's faces as he snickers.
Hidan then swiftly claps his hands into the Doton hand seal as he sends a wave of chakra through the ceiling of the cave above the Pains. He manipulates the earth and causes the ceiling to collapse on them.
Finally,Hidan looks back just in time to see the rushing Pain and he switches from the Doton handseal into the tiger handsign as he gathers chakra into his center. Next,he exerts that chakra into the ground below him to manipulate the dirt into a large river of mud sweeping the Asura path away from him in the current.
Ok. Now perform the Ram, Horse, and Dragon handseals before manipulating the mud you just created into the shape of a dragon's head. Then have it gather mud and condense it into several balls within its mouth fired at your target. That guy looks like he's getting up. Finish him!

For this one simply strike the ground with your hands and make a slab of earth tilt upwards from the ground at 90 degrees, forming a wall in front of you. Alternatively, two slabs can be raised sideways in front of you as though you're opening up the ground, primarily used to clear the way of any hazardous materials covering the ground in that specific area.

(Doton: Doroku Gaeshi) - Earth Release: Earth Shore Return
Rank: C
Type: Defence
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After striking the ground with their hands, the user manipulates the ground in front of him to form a slab that tilts upwards, up to 90º, creating a wall of earth that can defend from incoming frontal attacks. In addition, the user can also create 2 slabs that will rise and tilt to the sides in front of him, as if "opening up" the ground. This can be done to create a clear path if anything hazardous is above the ground in that specific area.
Hidan first performs the handsigns Ram → Horse → Dragon before sending chakra into the rushing river of mud below his feet and manipulating it into the shape of a dragon's head. He condenses orbs of mud into the dragon's mouth and fires them off at the recovering Asura path.
Next,Hidan swiftly weaves the hand signs Rat → Horse → Dog → Snake and he then manipulates the earth and creates a large amount of rock pillars to rise from under ground encasing the large dog in a bamboo-like prison restricting it's movement.
Finally as he turns to see Pain's launched attack,he slams his palms into the ground and releases Doton chakra throughout it. He manipulates the ground to raise up in a 90º angle to block the incoming attack as the wall crumbles upon impact.
Not bad. Now simply produce a river of mud in front of you like you've done before except this one can travel further and is created from your chakra alone. Of course it doesn't move very fast due to its thickness but the main purpose of this jutsu is to use it in conjunction with water jutsu in order to speed up the river's flow or to make water jutsu muddy and more forceful. Try it out.

Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: This technique lets the user summon a river of mud infront of them by lifting one of their hands in the air. This technique can have water added to it to speed up the flow and increase its power.
Next, i want you to focus doton chakra throughout your body and merge with the earth itself, allowing you to travel through it without having to dig or even move the ground. It is great for evading attacks and sneaking up on your target. The downside to it is you can't see a thing while underground. Get over here.

(Doton: Dochū Eigyo no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique
Rank: C
Type: Defence/Supplementary
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: Using this jutsu, a person can hide underground until they're ready to attack an opponent by merging with the ground itself. By utilizing earth-chakra, the person can stealthily emerge from the ground without disrupting the ground around him. The disadvantage with this technique is that merging with the ground is rather slow and while perfomring the technique, the user is vulnerable to high ranked Earth techniques. The user isn't hidden from doujutsu or sensory ninjas and cannot travel beyond the 3 meter deep mark. Moving around in the ground is slow and the user cannot sense very well what is happening above.
