Doton :: Earth Ninjutsu

Name: Doton - Rasengan :: Earth Release - Spiraling Sphere
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Range: Short (0-5m)
Element: Doton
Description:  This expands on the original concept for the Rasengan; mixing one's chakra element with the Rasengan, emphasizing the combination of the highest forms of Shape Transformation and Nature Transformation. The user mixes their Doton chakra with the Rasengan, maintaining its original stability and increasing its destructive power, far beyond that of an ordinary Rasengan. This technique looks fairly similar to an ordinary Rasengan, though bits of stone surround the spiraling mass of chakra. When striking an opponent with this technique, the earthen stones serve to puncture the target as they are propelled into the target via the rotation of the technique.

Name: Doton Kage Bunshin no Jutsu :: Earth Element Shadow Clone Technique
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Doton
Description:
A Ninjutsu that uses the Earth Element to create a Kage Bunshin. This Kage Bunshin is no different than the normal Kage Bunshin, except that upon its destruction the clone will turn into its natural earthen state. When the Doton: Kage Bunshin is destroyed, it solidifies where it stands and bursts out radially in the form of many stalagmites. It still requires half of the user's chakra to create such a clone.

Name: Yomi Numa :: Swamp of the Underworld  
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: All (0-10+m)
Element: Doton
Description:
By changing the surface of an object beneath an enemy into mud and creating a swamp, the user can sink his enemy into the mud. The adhesive, chakra-infused mud ensnares the enemy's body, making it almost impossible to recover one's strength and escape from the swamp. The size and depth of the created swamp depends on the user's skill and the amount of chakra used, but if the user is an expert in this technique, it will always be possible to make a fair-sized swamp which is extremely effective against a great number of enemies or when having to face gigantic creatures.

Name: Doryū Taiga :: Earth Flow River
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close
Element: Doton
Description:
This technique can transform the ground upon which the enemy stands into a river of mud to throw them off balance. The river of mud will carry the opponent away as it begins to harden, encasing them in the mud so as to immobilize them. The user may hasten the hardening process by touching the mud flow and using more chakra to speed the process up.

Name: Doryūdan no Jutsu :: Earth Dragon Bullet Technique
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close - Long
Element: Doton
Description:
An Earth-based Ninjutsu that creates a flowing column of mud before the user. This column takes the shape of a dragon and then rushes toward the opponent. It only lasts for a few seconds after being released. However, upon either colliding with its target or erupting from being dispersed, the mud will harden instantly and slam into the target(s) with concussive force. When used with Earth Flow River, this technique is quite different. It can create a dragon-like head from the flowing mud to fire concentrated mud bullets at an opponent.

Name: Doryūkatsu :: Earth Flow Divide
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: All (0-10+m)
Element: Doton
Description:
By flowing one's chakra underground, one can tear the earth apart, creating large chasms. The length, width, direction, and curve of the chasm are all up to the user. Manipulating the fissure requires fine chakra control, but if one has such skill, they can use this technique to divide the space between the enemy and their own team in two, destroy enemy camps or defenses, and even to attack. This length and breadth of the chasm are directly proportionate to the user's skill level.

Name: Doryū Jōheki :: Earth Flow Rampart  
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close to Mid (0-9m)
Element: Doton
Description:
This technique makes a gigantic rampart rise up beneath the user's feet, by shaping the ground and increasing the amount of earth with chakra. Depending on what the user imagines, the shape of the rampart can be anything from level ground to a steep, needle-like mountain. If the user increases the volume of earth too much, he can be forced to keep his chakra consumption down.  

Name: Doryō Dango :: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling  
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close - Mid
Element: Doton
Description:
With chakra work and and by enhancing their own strength to superhuman levels, the user lifts up the very surface of the Earth. The lump of earth is gigantic and, the destructive power is obvious, but even just the visual impact can be enough to make enemies lose their fighting spirits and run away. The ball of earth is then hurled it at his opponent, flattening everything in its path.  

Name: Domu :: Earth Spear    
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Element: Doton
Description:
The user flows chakra through all parts of their body causing it to become noticeably darker, which increases their defensive power to its utmost limits by making the skin as hard as stone. Furthermore, the destructive power of physical attacks is increased, making this a great all-purpose technique. The amount of techniques that can break through the areas hardened by the Earth Spear are close to zero, not including its undeniable weak point: Lightning Release Ninjutsu.

Name: Doryūheki :: Earth Style Wall    
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close (0-5m)
Element: Doton
Description:
The user creates a solid wall of earth as a form of defense. Chakra is either converted to earth within the body and then spat out to form the wall or the user can manipulate pre-existing earth to form the wall. The earth then instantly rises up and take form. The barrier itself is also coated with chakra, making its strength incomparable to that of a normal mud wall. Because of the earth's special characteristics, the wall is highly resistant against, for instance, fire and water. Also, for a high-class Shinobi it is possible to create a vast volume of earth.

Name: Tsuchi Kairou :: Earth Corridor
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close - Mid
Element: Doton
Description:
This jutsu will cause the earth in the surrounding area to rise up and over a target and create a cavern, imprisoning the target. The user can leave an opening to allow attacks to go in to strike down the trapped adversaries, and close it up to prevent escape.

Name: Doroku Gaeshi :: Earth Shore Return
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Close (0-5m)
Element: Doton
Description:
After striking the ground with their hands, the user of this jutsu creates a large wall of earth in front of him. The defense is not perfect though, since a hard or drilling impact can puncture the wall. Also, since this technique only guards frontal attacks, the enemy can easily attack from the side or even from above.

Name: Moguragakure no Jutsu :: Hiding Like a Mole Technique
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: n/a
Element: Doton
Description:
This technique changes earth into fine sand by channeling chakra into it, allowing the user to dig through it like a mole. This effect goes around the body (not just the hands), making it just large enough for a person to move through. The user can pinpoint where they are, despite being underground if their are able to sense chakra. They can also sense what is happening on the surface and use that information to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. One can also hide deep in the ground, escaping to a depth where the enemy can't reach.

Name: Retsudo Tenshō :: Tearing Earth Turning Palm
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Long (10+ m)
Element: Doton
Description:
This technique causes the ground surrounding the enemy to spiral inwards on itself, burying them alive or crushing them. This technique is capable of causing quite a bit of damage to the area. This technique is much more damaging if used in rocky mountainous areas, or inside a cave.

Name: Dochū Eigyo no Jutsu :: Underground Projection Fish Technique
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: n/a
Element: Doton
Description:
This technique is used for sneaking and striking silently, like a fish underwater, and then suddenly appearing to the ground's surface. Furthermore, it's even more efficient when employed in a crowded area that, if the target notices something, can be overrun by the nearby masses, or with distractions like a Clone Technique to draw the enemy's attention. As such it is a great strategy for a guerilla, and a likely resort, used quite often for things such as personality assassination.

Name: Dochū Senkō :: Underground Submarine Voyage
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Mid (5-9m)
Element: Doton
Description:
After sinking underground by turning it into fluid, the user can close in on the enemy with high speed, by swimming underground. Since being under the ground is a blind spot, the target has no warning; allowing the user to launch a surprise attack. By using this technique in conjunction with a weapon, it also gains great effect as an "assault ninjutsu".

Name: Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu :: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
Rank: D
