Keotsu Sensei teaches me Doton

[Light.]

Good questions;

Now for the first about the template, no, you don't have to post the template during a fight.

Next, yes you decide the advantages and disadvantages yourself.

You can only do this with rocks, you create the spikes of your own chakra that erupt from the ground.

Do you get it?

[Sydd]

Yes, I do, thanks. And I presume the technique was executed properly?

[Light.]

Yes, it was good ^_^

[Sydd]

Alright, I am ready for the next one :zonder:

[Light.]

Fine by me

(Doton: Yochi no Douyou) - Earth Release: World Shaking
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will concentrate and release their chakra into the ground to create a small tremer that can result in harming the enemy target.

Now this technique even sensei still use. It is a very good technique to start a battle off with, because your opponent can't stop your first move. So for this technique you will focus your doton chakra into the ground creating several small tremors. These tremors will throw your opponent off balance, allowing you to be able to attack the moment or as the technique is used. Try it ^_^

[Sydd]

*focusing my chakra into the ground, I pump it irregularly, making a ruckus which causes several small tremors around me*


Would using it while on water have any effect?



Can the opponent make arrangements otherwise?

[Light.]

Well, i doubt you can use this on water

[Sydd]

Alright, thanks.

(Doton: Dorosandan) – Earth Release: Mudshot
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 10
Description: The user spits a thick globule of mud at the target. If aimed correctly, it can blind the target's vision and choke them. It can also be used to create a sticky patch on the ground.

I want you to focus your doton chakra into your mouth, then expel it as a glob of mud. This mud can be used to create a sticky patch, to trap your opponent on. It can also blind vision and choke the opponent if it makes direct contact with the face area

[Sydd]

Handseals: Snake(guessing, correct me if wrong)
Advantage: As you mentioned, the enemy will get blinded if the aim is proper, so not only will I get him/her to flinch, I'd also (almost) seal my hand at winning(unless of course, the enemy is of a higher rank, or knows how to avoid such moves). Trapping an enemy will also be useful, as he will then be at my hands for torture(as long as I myself am careful)
Disadvantage: The sticky patch would be visible under most areas, and getting the correct aim would be difficult, especially if the enemy is fast.
Perform the technique:

*taking aim at a spot in front of me, I concentrate my Doton chakra into my mouth, subduing myself with the Earth, being one with it. I then open my mouth to let out a glob of mud*

[Light.]

Ok, creates a clone. I want you to use it on my clone

[Sydd]

Alright.

*taking aim at the clone in front of me, I gather my earth chakra into my mouth, I spit out a glob of mud right at the face of the clone*

(Doton: Iwa Yado Kuzushi) - Earth Release: Stone Lodging Destruction
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Descripton: This technique allows the ninja to control nearby stone and rock. 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.

Very useful technique. For this if your opponent id using earth dome, to block an attack of yours. You can use this to make the earth that is protecting him 'cave in' falling on him, crushing him. But also make sure he can't escape from below, so trap that area

[Sydd]

Handseals: Tiger > Rat > Snake
Advantage: Cause cave-ins, in case an enemy is protecting self with earth dome the technique is helpful.
Disadvantage: May cause comrades to get stuck in cave-in, not much use if in an open area.
Perform the technique: *going near a rock, I start to direct my chakra towards the rock using the earth as a medium* *watch rock collapse*

[Light.]

More detail please >_O

[Sydd]

Alright(I couldn't really see how I could demonstrate it in an open area)

Handseals: Tiger > Rat > Snake
Advantage: Cause cave-ins, in case an enemy is protecting self with earth dome the technique is helpful.
Disadvantage: May cause comrades to get stuck in cave-in, not much use if in an open area.
Perform the technique: *going near another rock, start to concentrate the doton chakra into it as it rushes through the earth, and surge it through the rock to make it weak, and make it collapse*

(If I did it wrong again, could you tell me what I am doing wrong? )

[Light.]

Much better . Ready to continue

[Sydd]

Okay, yes.

[Light.]

(Doton: Doryudan) - Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet
Rank: C
Type: Offense
Range: Long
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: 30
Description: When used with Earth Release: Earth Flow River, the user will then perform the Ram → Horse → Dragon they can create a dragon-like head to fire concentrated mud at an opponent. This can also be combined with a fire jutsu to shoot lava toward an opponent.

(Doton: Doryū Taiga) - Earth Release: Earth Flow River
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After forming the needed hand sealTiger, the user transforms the ground underneath their opponent into a river of mud that throws them off balance and 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.

These two go together. I first want you to perform the tiger handseal, turning the ground below your opponent to turn into mud. Next i want you to perform several handseals, using the mud that you created, using shape manipulation to create two earth dragon heads. These dragon heads can release mud that can reach up to long range. Remember to look the the range for each technique before you can use it because some techniques only work in short range.

Try it out ^_^

[Sydd]

(Doton: Doryū Taiga) - Earth Release: Earth Flow River
Handseals: Tiger
Advantage: Goes with Earth Dragon Bullet; one of the only combos I can see in low ranked Doton jutsus.
Disadvantage: Short range; however if using it as a combo, it will work fine.
Perform the technique: *performing the Tiger seal, concentrates Doton chakra into the surrounding nearby ground to make a swamp.*

(Doton: Doryudan) - Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet
Handseals: Ram → Horse → Dragon
Advantage: Long range
Disadvantage: Need to have a river of mud or to perform the Earth Flow River technique.
Perform the technique: *performing the said seals, make two dragon heads made of mud to spring out from the ground* *make them release mud on a tree stationed a hundred meters away*


Alright, a question, can I move the dragon heads or do I have to take the target beforehand?

[Light.]

No the dragon head can't be move

[Sydd]

Okay, thanks.

[Light.]

So when would you use this?

[Sydd]

Possibly when fighting multiple enemies, one who's at a close range and one who's farther away.

The terrain should also play an important role, and open grounds, forests should be the best for this technique(where most battles are held, anyway)

[Light.]

Umm, i will have to pause your training because of the hurricane that hit my area. I will have to fix up my house. It would take about two days, hope you understand.
