[A faint smile]

Doton

Basic

Doton: Bunshin no Jutsu (Earth Release: Earth Clone Skill)
Description: This jutsu creates one single clone out of the ground. Its defense is incredible, and it's very powerful, but lacks speed. Two hits will destroy the bunshin.


Koujin Bunshin no Jutsu (Dust Clone Technique)
Description: A simple bunshin jutsu, using dust and small particles of dirt found everywhere but the cleanest of places, the user is able to form a clone. The clone itself cannot attack, but can pose as a good distraction, since once it is hit, the dust and dirt particles burst open, entering the enemy's eyes, mouth and nose. Also, the clone can be dismissed at will.

Doton: Iwa Tounyuu no Jutsu (Earth Release: Rock Throw Technique)
Description: A small rock, the size of a fist, can be lifted and thrown using chakra.

Doton: Doroku Gaeshi (Earth Release: Rock Shield)
Description: In the jutsu, the user lifts up a giant piece of earth and uses it as a shield. For every rank, the shield grows 5 feet by 5 feet, and thickens by 3 inches.

Doton: Ishi Yoroi no Ude (Earth Release: Stone Bracers)
Description: By taking dirt and rubbing it on his/her arms or legs, after performing the necessary hand seals, the shinobi is able to create very durable defensive bracers that add extra protection when using the arms to block. The chakra that is infused in them help to soften the blows of any physical attacks. These are very useful for taijutsu users or to defend against an onslaught of upper body blows. These bracers block physical attacks.

Doton: Gou no Doro (Earth Release: Mud Moat)
Description: This jutsu converts the area immediately surrounding the performer of it into a a deep murky moat full of mud. The moat is at least 6 ft deep and four feet in radius (6 feet radius for genin, 8 feet for chuunin, 10 feet for Jounin, 15 feet for Sennin). Due to the nature of the moat, water walking can not be performed on it. Only an area of 1½ feet in diameter remains of solid, dry land for the user to stand on.

Tsuchi Tou Tou (Swift Earth)
Description: When performing this jutsu the shinobi places his/her hands on the ground and causes it to move rapidly away as if it were a conveyor belt. As the shinobi increases in skill and rank the size, speed, and range of this jutsu all increase.

Genin

Doton: Shuriken no Jutsu (Earth Release: Stone Shuriken Skill)
Description: Widely used in situations where the user runs out of projectiles. By picking up dirt from the ground and infusing it with chakra, it molds together and takes the form of a shuriken.

Doton: Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu (Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Skill)
Description: This earth jutsu allows the user to “dive” into the ground and move around in it as if it was water, or even thin air. This ability allows the user to get near an opponent without notice and when below him, pull down the opponent to ground, burying his body and leaving only the head above the ground. This particular jutsu isn’t an attack by itself, but it easily creates and opening for more deadly attacks.

Doton: Tamaishi Danmaku (Earth Release: Pebble barrage)
Description: Another basic technique. The user releases a surge of chakra that is capable of lifting small stones and pebbles off the ground and sending them flying towards the enemy. Only small stones up to the size of a grape can be sent flying, and objects too small such as sand will not be carried by the chakra. The force of this attack is not really damaging. It’s only something like having many pebbles thrown at you. It’s more of a distraction and annoyance than to actually damage. Yet, it’s pretty useful to distract an enemy while one makes an escape.

Doton: Rikujou Douyou no jutsu (Earth Release: Ground shaking technique)
Description: Using this technique, the user sends chakra into the ground to cause the ground to shake. The spot of the ground to affect can be controlled. The magnitude of shaking is rather minor though, only capable of probably slightly unbalancing the opponent. If done while the opponent is not on firm ground, it may cause him/her to fall. Usually used for distraction as well.

Doton: Jihibiki Kansei no Jutsu (Earth Release: Earth Tremor Sense Technique)
Description: By touching the ground, the user can sense tremors or vibrations in the ground. These tremors indicate movement, which the user can sense, although he doesn't know who exactly it is. The range is half a mile.

Ohitsuji Kashira (Ram head)
Description: A basic earth protection jutsu where a small, curved wall about the size of the creator is created. It can deflect shuriken and fire jutsu but is weakened by water jutsu. For every rank, the wall grows 5 feet by 5 feet.

Doton: Tsuka no Tsuchi Souzou (Earth Release: Earth Mound Creation)
Description: The earth is caused to rise up at least 10 feet and a steep sloped mound is made with the shinobi performing this jutsu at its peak. The mound soaks up water like a sponge making this an effective jutsu to perform when fighting any water using shinobi.

Geigeki No Doro (Mud Inteceptor)
Description: The performer of this jutsu causes small mud balls to shoot out of the ground, deflecting and countering any projectiles. This has no effect on a person other than soiling their clothes. Though it has been used by many a boy who wished to get into a mud fight.

Doton: Sekkai Koutetsuban (Earth Release: Stone Breast Plate)
Description: By taking earth and rubbing it on his/her chest and stomach, the earth is hardened into a stone breast plate that adds extra protection to the user. The breastplate is held intact through the chakra molded into it.


Kajuu No Doro (Mud Weights)
Description: Mud shoots at a target’s limbs and then gets stuck, through chakra the mud is made to weigh a quarter ton(1/2 ton if chuunin and 1 ton if a Jounin). This helps to slow down opponents a great deal.

Chuunin

Doton: Doryu Taiga (Earth Release: Mud River)
Description: In this common stone jutsu, the user converts part of the floorground that he and his opponent are standing on into a raging avalanche of mud and earth. The opponent quickly loses hisher standing and starts sliding wherever the mud river will take himher.

Maruishi Tounyuu (Boulder throw)
Description: This technique focuses chakra on a single large boulder found in the vicinity and sends it flying towards an enemy. The impact is of course greater since it’s a big rock, and yet, being a big rock, it’s easier to dodge. Also, only one rock can be thrown at time. However if the user is good at chakra control, (those with tree and water walking mastered) this can be done in quick rapid succession (a few rocks sent consecutively, about 5). Can also be used on variations such as concrete rubble.

Tsuchi Shouaku no jutsu (Earth holding technique)

Description: This technique allows the user to manipulate the earth below an opponents feet to rise up and grab hold onto both their legs. The earth is rather durable, and can only be physically forced away by taijutsu specialists and human tanks. However, the downside is that the earth rises up rather slowly, and a well trained shinobi would be able to notice it fairly easily. Another disadvantage is that it can only be used on natural earth, meaning it can’t be used in buildings or grounds with no earth. Should be used only when the shinobi is distracted.

Doton: Katana no Jutsu (Earth Release: Earth Element Sword)
Description: Similarly to Doton Shuriken, the user picks up dirt and/or earth, molds chakra into the dirt/earth, and forms a sword. It isn’t as sharp or powerful as a real sword, and is destroyed after a few hits.

Doton: Karyoku Bunshin no Jutsu (Earth Release: Volcanic Earth Clone Skill)
Description: This jutsu creates one single clone out of the ground. Its defense is incredible, and it's very powerful, but lacks speed. The difference from the normal clone is that this one comes from heated earth, making it's skin almost volcanic and painful to touch. The bunshin can use one Doton jutsu.


Ryuusha no Jutsu (Quicksand skill)
Description: A simple yet effective skill. Using chakra, the user is able to create a pool of quicksand in the ground. The pool is ovalcircular, and is of about 4 feet in diameter. A perfect jutsu for setting traps, although it can be created under an opponent's feet, but will only work if the opponent's movement is severely hindered.

Doton: Doryuudan no Jutsu (Earth Release: Earth Dragon Blast)
Description: In this jutsu, a large mudstone structure appears from the ground in the shape of a dragon’s face. The dragon then shoots many earthmud “cannon balls” which hit the enemy with great speed.


Iwagakure: Shunshin no Jutsu (Hidden Earth: Instantaneous Body Skill)
Description: An ability which allows the user to transport from one area to another by lowering his body to the ground and eventually become "buried" in it. The user has to have been to the area before, and be able to sense the location with his own chakra before being able to transport him there. This means that the distance is limited to about one mile. This jutsu can only be used to escape combat, and only if the shinobi has not been attacked or is defending.

Doton: Rikujou Shougekiha no jutsu (Earth Release: Ground shockwave technique)
Description: This technique unleashes larger amounts of chakra into the ground to cause a more violent shaking to be sent in the form of a shockwave towards an opponent. The force of the shockwave is enough to knock a few opponents down and send them flying. However, due to the wave movements seen on the ground, most shinobis can dodge this by simply jumping up. Yet, it is still a useful technique to alter landscapes, or knock down objects even.


Doton: Ishi no Yari (Earth Release: Stone Spear)
Description: By using chakra to basically control the earth below and around them, the user turns it into sharp spears. This jutsu can be used both offensively and defensively. The user can either create a spear to block an opponent's movement, or they can hurl the spear at their opponent using chakra. The drawback here is, unless chakra is used, the spears cannot be pulled out of the ground manually; they are always set in place.

Iwa no Yoroi (Shield of Stone)
Description: A thin layer of protective mixture of stone and clay that covers a user's body. Since it makes the user cover him with hard stone and clay, this jutsu causes the user's body to weigh more and stamina usage is increased. Very similar to the armor of sand (Suna no Yoroi).


Doton: Doryu Heki (Earth Release: Mud Slide Barrier)
Description: A defensive jutsu in which the user creates a thick wall of mud and earth to defend against an attack. For every rank, the wall of mud is twenty feet wide and fifteen feet high.


Iwane Banpu (Rock Bump)
Description: A simple yet effective technique. The user performs a set variety of handseals, then takes a rock in his hands. He then throws the rock in the position he needs it to be, and the spot where the rock lands and puts an imprint into the dirt, a rectangular-prism shape, about a foot long, rises up out of the ground. Depending on how much chakra is put into the rock created, the size of the earth rising can be from the length of an ankle up to a knee. Used for tripping the enemy.

Sekkai Senbon Hada (Stone Needle Skin)
Description: The Stone-nin’s body becomes entirely covered by earthen armor that has very sharp and durable needles. The armor itself isn’t very thick, but it still is highly discouraging to any taijutsu user to hit someone using this technique. While using this jutsu, the mobility of the performer is highly limited.

Doton: Bakuyaku Iwa Kawarimi (Earth Release: Explosive Stone Body Replacement)
Description: This jutsu replaces the body with a large stone or even a boulder, using Kawarimi no Jutsu. There is a rather dangerous difference though, the boulder that replaces the stone-nin’s body is explosive and if struck explodes with the force of an explosive note.

Doton: Wareme Souzou (Earth Release: Chasm Creation)
Description: When this jutsu is performed the stone-nin places his/her hands on the ground and focuses chakra into the earth. From the power of the chakra flowing into it, the earth splits apart and a chasm is created. The longer that the shinobi focuses chakra into the earth, the wider and deeper the chasm becomes. At first it is 10 feet deep and 3 feet wide, then it is 20 feet deep and 6 feet wide, and it continues increases by a depth of 10 and a width of 3 as long as it is continued. This is very useful when creating a protective barrier for someone else.

Sekkai Saka (Rock Hill Creation)
Description: A large hill made of rock is created. The slope is very steep and made of slippery shale rock. It is useful as a defensible platform to perform other techniques from. For every rank, the hill goes up 15 feet.

Doton: Iwane Wooru (Earth Release: Rock Wall)
Description: Starts out exactly like Iwane Banpu, by performing the same hand seals, and grabbing a rock, but it is a much bigger rock. Much more chakra is added to this rock, and whenever it hits, a large, rectangular prism-shaped object rises up out of the ground. This time, it is concentrated as a height, and is approximately three feet in width and six feet in height, stopping the enemy completely. Very useful in bad situations where a good defense is needed. A very sturdy wall that cannot be removed from the ground, almost like a wall of a building, made of stone. For every rank, another foot in width and 3 feet in height is added to the wall.

Doton: Iwa no Doomu (Earth Release: Earth dome)
Description: An elaboration of Doton Doryu Heki (Earth Element Mud Slide Barrier), this jutsu retains its predecessor's characteristics and more. Instead of forming a single, straight wall which can protect the user from only one angle, this jutsu enables the user to create a wall not just all around him, but from above him as well. If the technique is successful, the user should be inside a thick dome of stone which is quite difficult to destroy. The disadvantages are obvious- one cannot see outside the dome, and an opponent would have time to prepare an attack the user won't be aware of. Furthermore, holding the dome together requires a great deal of chakra, and the jutsu can only be active for a few minutes, and after that it will simply crash.

Description: This jutsu uses up almost all of the shinobi’s chakra. It is highly destructive, and almost ascertains death. Rocks and debris materials, as well as chunks of the earth will continuously barrage at the opponent from all directions. As soon as each of the pieces of earth, rock or debris approaches the opponent, they will explode, causing a brutal destructive force with all the pieces exploding.

Description: After a long series of seals, the user puts his hand on the ground and molds a massive amount of chakra into it.
