Explanation
(Doton: Doroku Gaeshi) - Earth Release: Earth Shore Return
Simple Doton defense used by Jirobo in the manga. The first application has the user slam their hands into the ground and make a rectangular doton wall pop up at a 90 degree angle. This jutsu has major weaknesses. Its just a frontal defense so it can be consumed by bigger jutsu and leave the user vulnerable to underground, aerial, or attacks from behind. The second application is making the ground rise and split. This can create a clear opening.
Explanation
(Doton: Dochū Eigyo no Jutsu) - Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique
This jutsu is very similar to the hiding like a mole technique except this jutsu has more restrictions. The user moves slowly through the ground. Unlike the hiding like a mole jutsu, the user doesnt have any rank restrictions on the jutsu they can use. Because the user slowly moves through the ground with this jutsu, they should be stealthy as they are vulnerable to attack.
(Doton: Doro Hōshi) - Earth Release: Mud Spore
Counter: Simply doton release jutsu. Create a pillar to launch myself into the air before the jutsu reaches me.
Adv.~ Can carry the target away.
Dis.~ One doesnt have get very high into the air to avoid the jutsu.
