E-Ranked Techniques


▰ Doton Bunshin no Jutsu [ Earth Clone Skill ] | Rank E
This jutsu creates one single clone out of the ground. Its fortitude is incredible, and it's very powerful, but lacks speed. Two hits will destroy the bunshin. Clone acts as D rank in Fortitude and Strength, but is only E rank in Speed and Reflexes.

▰ Iwa Tounyuu no Jutsu [ Rock Throw Technique ] | Rank E
This jutsu allows a small rock, about the size of a fist, to be lifted and hurled at someone or something. It is simple enough that no handseals are required, but its maximum weight capacity is five [5] pounds (2.5kg).

▰ Ishi Yoroi no Ude [ Stone Bracers ] | Rank E
After forming the necessary handseals, a shinobi is able to punch the ground and create a very durable set of 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 up to D-rank, and can take three [3] hits before they are destroyed.

▰ Tsuchi Gunjikoudou no Jutsu [ Earth Military Movement Technique ] | Rank E
This jutsu allows the user to enter the ground and "swim" in it for a limited time. A shinobi simply has to dive into the ground for this jutsu to activate, allowing them to swim around at their leisure for one [1] post. The user may pay the original amount as upkeep to keep the jutsu going after the first post.

▰ Tsuchi Tou Tou [ Swift Earth ] | Rank X ( Learned as E )
When performing this jutsu the shinobi places their 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 width and range of this technique is also capable of increasing. This technique starts at a five foot by five foot square directly ahead of the user, and increases in both dimensions by five feet for each rank higher.

D-Ranked Techniques


▰ Doroku Gaeshi [ Rock Shield ] | Rank X ( Learned as D )
This jutsu allows the user to lift up a giant piece of earth and use it as a shield. For every rank, the shield grows five feet by five feet, and thickens by three inches. All it takes to activate this technique is to grab the ground. Only blocks in the direction the wall is created, and the user is still vulnerable from other angles.

▰ Doton Shuriken no Jutsu [ Stone Shuriken Skill ] | Rank D
Widely used in situations where the user runs out of projectiles, this jutsu creates replacements. The user simply channels chakra and draws a small amount of earth from around their feet to their hand where it forms three D-rank shuriken.

▰ Geigeki No Doro [ Mud Interceptor ] | Rank D
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. Does not require a specific source of naturally occurring mud.

▰ Gou no Doro [ Mud Moat ] | Rank D
This jutsu converts the area immediately surrounding the performer of it into a deep murky moat full of mud. The moat is at least six feet deep and four feet in radius (six feet radius for D-rank, eight feet for C-rank, ten feet for A-rank, fifteen feet for S-rank). Due to the nature of the moat, water walking can not be performed on it. Only an area of one and a half feet in diameter remains of solid, dry land for the user to stand on. Clapping activates this technique, and it lasts for four posts.

▰ Iwagakure: Shunshin no Jutsu [ Hidden Earth: Instantaneous Body Skill ] | Rank D
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 they are traveling to 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. Counts towards the guild's three shunshin per battle limit.

▰ Iwane Banpu [ Rock Bump ] | Rank D
A simple yet effective technique in which the user performs a set variety of hand seals, then takes a rock in his hands. The shinobi will then throw the rock to a location of their choosing and, at the spot where the rock lands, an imprint is put into the dirt. A rectangular-prism shape, about a foot long, subsequently rises quickly up out of the ground at that location to trip an enemy. This technique rises, at most, up to knee height, and does so at a rate capable of catching an average shinobi off-guard.

▰ Koujin Bunshin no Jutsu [ Dust Clone Technique ] | Rank D
A simple clone jutsu that uses dust and small particles of dirt found everywhere but the cleanest of places to form a clone. The clone itself cannot attack, but can pose as a good distraction, as once it is hit, the dust and dirt particles burst outwards, entering a nearby enemy's eyes, mouth and nose. This technique requires several hand seals to perform, and can be destroyed with the same effect as being hit at the user's will.

▰ Rikujou Douyou no Jutsu [ Ground Shaking Technique ] | Rank D
To perform this technique, the user slaps the ground and sends chakra into it, causing the earth below their enemy to shake. The magnitude of shaking is rather minor though, only capable of unbalancing a targeted opponent. If done while the opponent is not on firm ground, it may cause them to fall.

▰ Sekkai Koutetsuban [ Stone Breast Plate ] | Rank D
The user forms a single hand seal and summons earth from the ground around them, hardening it into a stone breast plate that adds extra protection. This technique moderately increases fortitude against hits taken on the torso, and can take a maximum of C-ranked damage before breaking. While it will stop ninjutsu with a designated point of impact, larger area of effect techniques can still harm the user.

▰ Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu [ Double Suicide Decapitation Technique ] | Rank D
This technique allows a shinobi to travel through the ground to appear below their target. They then surprise their target, pulling them into the ground. Once in the ground their target is immobilized; however, struggling free is fairly easy, as the earth around them has been loosened in order to be able to pull the target down into the ground. This technique is activated with a single hand seal.

▰ Tamaishi Danmaku [ Pebble Barrage ] | Rank D
The user releases a surge of chakra that is capable of lifting small stones and pebbles off the ground before 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. While more of a distraction and annoyance than actually damaging, this technique can still cause a good bit of superficial pain to an opponent. This technique requires a series of hand seals to activate.

▰ Doton: Shunshin no Jutsu [ Earth Release: Instant Movement Technique ] | Rank D
Similar to the Maruton version of Shunshin, except that this technique allows unimpeded access through all forms of non-chakra based rock, up to the normal allowed distance. Rock that is in the way will be spewed out to the available area around it. This technique requires a single hand seal, and counts towards the guild's three shunshin per fight limit.

C-Ranked Techniques


▰ Arijigoku no Jutsu [ Ant-Lion Technique ] | Rank C-S ( Learned as C )
Arijigoku is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Earth Element. After forming the needed hand seal, the user creates a conical crater below their opponent. This twisting, sinking pit pulls the target below ground to imprison and suffocate them. A C-ranked amount of chakra creates roughly a human-sized hole, and it scales large enough to swallow another person with each rank. Those trapped within the sinkhole will find their movement impeded, with Speed reduced moderately per rank once caught in the technique. It takes three full posts before the victim is completely buried.

▰ Bakuyaku Iwa Kawarimi [ Explosive Stone Body Replacement ] | Rank C
This jutsu replaces the body with a large stone or even a boulder. There is a rather dangerous difference though, as the boulder that replaces the shinobi's body is volatile, exploding with the force of an explosive tag if struk. This technique consumes one of the user's substitutions for a fight, and requires them to replace themselves with a nearby large stone/boulder

▰ Dochuu Eigyo [ Underground Fish Projection ] | Rank C
This technique allows the ninja to hide underground with a single hand seal without needing to breath for a short time. This technique lasts only one post, and is best used with distractions.

▰ Dochuu Senkou [ Underground Submarine Voyage ] | Rank C
After forming the needed hand seals, the user sinks below ground and quickly travels through the earth. This technique causes a great amount of dirt, rock, and dust to be thrust into the air. So long as the user is near the surface, their location is given away by the kicked up dust and dirt. Requires an upkeep of half the original cost to continue after the first post.

▰ Doro Gaeshi [ Mud Overturn ] | Rank C
After striking the ground with their hands, a large wall of earth will rise into place as a defense. The defense is not perfect though, as a hard or drilling impact can puncture the wall. Can defend against up to a B-rank attack, however a B-rank technique will break it.

▰ Doro Houshi [ Mud Silhouette ] | Rank C-S
After forming the needed hand seals, the user generates a flowing stream of mud. This jutsu can be used in conjunction with Suiton [ Ja no Kuchi ]. The water of Ja no Kuchi will increase the momentum of the earth of Doro Houshi to create a more powerful mud slide.

▰ Doryuuha [ Earth Flow Wave ] | Rank C
The user creates and rides a wave of earth that can branch off to attack from a distance, crushing enemies in its path under a tsunami of dirt and debris. The user can also use it to manipulate the terrain and hold the opponent in place.

▰ Doryuusou [ Earthen Rising Spears ] | Rank C
After forming the needed hand seals, spears of stone rise from the ground to pierce a target. The technique can be countered by an opponent who hardens their body with a stronger Earth Element jutsu, or with any equal or higher rank jutsu. This technique covers a roughly three by three feet.

▰ Doryuu Taiga [ Mud River ] | Rank C
In this common stone jutsu, the user converts part of the ground that they and their opponent are standing on into a raging avalanche of mud and earth. The opponent, if caught, quickly loses their standing and starts sliding wherever the mud river takes them. This technique requires a single hand seal to use, and may be continued for half its standard cost, rounded up if not a whole number, per post.

▰ Gansetsukon [ Rock Spear ] | Rank C-S
This jutsu allows the user to break up nearby stone and shape it into rock spears. These spears can then be launched at the user's opponent. This technique creates a set of five spears at C-Rank, and that number increases by five for each rank above C.

▰ Ishi no yari [ Stone Spear ] | Rank C
Using chakra to control the earth below and around them, the user of this technique turns it into sharp spears. This jutsu can be used both offensively and defensively, with the shinobi either creating a spear to block an opponent's movement, or hurling the spear at their opponent using chakra. The user just has to stomp the earth with a foot to summon the spears. The technique creates one spear that can be used as a weapon, and can take up to B-rank damage before breaking.

▰ Iwa Nadare [ Stone Avalanche ] | Rank C
Iwa Nadare is a Ninjutsu technique that requires forming handseals and having access to a cliff face or steep slope of some sort, either natural or formed by another technique. This technique then loosens stone on said slope or cliff, dropping a large quantity onto those standing below it. This techniques is especially useful when combined with higher rank doton capable of reshaping battlefields, and is a great way to indirectly attack enemies.

▰ Jihibiki Kansei no Jutsu [ Earth Tremor Sense Technique ] | Rank C
The user touches the ground, allowing them to sense tremors or vibrations in the ground originating from within a range of half a mile from the user. These tremors indicate movement, which the user can sense, although he doesn't know who exactly it is. This technique is affected by Sensor Class disciplines, and may vary in range due to this.

▰ Kajuu No Doro [ Mud Weights ] | Rank C
This jutsu lets the user summon a muddy concoction and hurl it at their opponent. Upon making contact with the target, the mud instantly becomes heavier. On an able bodied shinobi it will only slow them down, but when covering a physically weaker person such as those with lower body rank, it may be able to completely immobilize them. If successful, this technique reduces Speed by one supreme until the victim can breaks.

▰ Keijuugan no Jutsu [ Light Weight Rock Technique ] | Rank E-C ( Learned as C )
Keijuugan no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu utilizing the Earth Element. This technique allows the user to decrease the weight of an object they touch. This can allow another ninja to then wield the much lighter object much faster and easier. The technique requires direct contact with the object to be affected and cannot be used on anything larger than a person. Chakra cost increases based on the size of the object, at a max of fifty pounds for E-rank, one-hundred pounds for D-rank, and one-hundred-fifty pounds for C-rank. The technique reduces the weight by half, and the effect lasts for four posts after contact is broken.

▰ Maruishi Tounyuu [ Boulder Throw ] | Rank C
This technique focuses chakra on a single large boulder found in the vicinity, stomps once, and sends it flying towards an enemy. Only one rock can be thrown at time, without paying extra. Once the user reaches B-rank, they can launch up to five rocks with one activation, at an additional cost of half the original per rock thrown, rounded up to the nearest whole number. Extra rocks thrown still maintain this technique's C-Rank classification.

▰ Moguragakure no Jutsu [ Mole Hiding technique ] | Rank C
This technique allows a shinobi to burrow into the ground and hide out of sight. This allows them to avoid attack or travel underground. Activated with a single hand seal, the Shinobi physically digs through the ground, leaving a hole where they enter and exit. Paying an upkeep cost of half the original technique, rounded up to the nearest whole number, the technique can be continued past the first post.

▰ Ohitsuji Kashira [ Ram Head ] | Rank X ( Learned as C )
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 in all directions. This technique requires a series of hand seals to perform.

▰ Retsudo Tenshin [ Mud Needle ] | Rank C
After using the Earth Release: Earth Flow Wave technique to shape earth, the user creates a large needle out of it to impale the opponent. How this needle approaches the opponent is up to the user, but it must originate from earth affected by Earth Release: Earth Flow Wave.
-Requires knowing Doton: Doryuuha [Earth Release: Earth Flow Wave]

▰ Retsudo Tenshou [ Revolving Split Earth Palm ] | Rank C
This technique allows a shinobi to control nearby stone and rock. When the user slams their palm to the ground, surrounding rock will begin to churn and twist up crushing all those trapped within it. The earth rending force can cause unstable surfaces to completely collapse, and crack open the ground in front of the user. This technique is capable of significantly altering the landscape nearby, but is best used in conjunction with other techniques and/or shinobi who can take advantage of that ability.

▰ Rikujou Shougekiha no jutsu [ Ground Shock Wave Technique ] | Augment ( Learned as C )
An upgrade of Rikujou Douyou no Jutsu [Ground Shaking Technique], this technique unleashes larger amounts of chakra into the ground to cause a more violent shock wave. The force of the wave is enough to knock a few opponents down and perhaps even toss them a short ways. However, due to the wave movements seen on the ground, most shinobi can dodge this by simply jumping. This technique is activated by simply landing on the ground. As an upgrade of Rikujou Douyou no Jutsu, this technique takes the same slot as the D-rank version once learned, and they should be listed together on an RPC's profile. Either version can be used for the appropriate version's cost.
-Requires knowing Rikujou Douyou no Jutsu [Ground Shaking Technique]

▰ Sekkai Senbon Hada [ Stone Needle Skin ] | Rank C
The shinobi claps and their body becomes entirely covered by earthen armor of very sharp, durable needles. The armor itself isn’t very thick, but its surface tends to ward off physical attacks from all but the stoutest of physical combatants. While using this jutsu, the mobility of the performer is highly limited. Armor can take up to B-rank damage before breaking, but reduces the user's Speed moderately.

▰ Tsuka no Tsuchi Souzou [ Earth Mound Creation ] | Rank C
In the process of using this technique, earth is forced to rise up at least te feet and a steep sloped mound is made beneath the shinobi. The mound soaks up water like a sponge making this an effective jutsu to perform when fighting any water using shinobi, but has its limits. This jutsu can only soak up a C-Rank amount of water from a stagnant pool, like those performed over an area by Suiton techniques. Any Suiton techniques D-rank or higher that produce a force will destroy the mound instead of being soaked up.

B-Ranked Techniques


▰ Banri Doryuuheki [ Ten Thousand Ri Earth Style Wall ] | Rank X [learned as B]
A Ninjutsu utilizing the Earth Element, this technique was created as a tandem jutsu which allows for the creation of a long rock wall. Standing side by side, the shinobi will form the needed hand seals and then emit a stream of Doton mud from their mouths. These expulsions will then grow into a large rock wall. This jutsu can also be used in conjunction with additional support material, like the Youton of Gomuheki. When used in Korabo Ninjutsu with other Banri Doryuuheki, the jutsu raises the entire wall up to an A-rank strength. Korabo is not necessary, however; E-ranked usage allows for a head-height wall, D-ranked allows for twice head height, and C-ranked adds on twice the width. Sizes double from there.

▰ Bouseki Take [ Spinning Peak ] | Rank B

▰ Doryuu Heki [ Mud Slide Barrier ] | Rank D-S [Learned as B]
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 wider and fifteen feet higher. Dragging the ground with one's foot, tracing the general shape of the wall, causes it to rise from the ground.

▰ Doryuu Katsu [ Earth Style Split ] | Rank B

▰ Doryuudan [ Earth Dragon Projectile ] | Rank B

▰ Doryuu Heki [ Earth Style Wall ] | Augment [Learned as B]
After the shinobi performs the necessary hand seals, they spew a line of mud onto the ground from their mouth. The mud then grows into a large mud wall to help defend against incoming attacks. The wall is thirty feet tall, eighty feet wide, and is a permanent structure unless destroyed. This is a mud-based version of Doryuu Jouheki [Earth Style Rampart], and takes the same slot as the original. Either version can be used. The mud is very slick, making the wall hard to climb.

▰ Dosekiryuu no Jutsu [ Rock Avalanche Technique ] | Augment [Learned as B]
A powerful technique, the user molds their chakra to cause an avalanche off the side of a mountain, destroying everything in its path. Obviously, the user must be near the side of a mountain or a cliff face, either natural or created by another Doton jutsu. There is also a chance that the user gets caught in the avalanche as well.

▰ Domu [ Earthen Spear ] | Rank B
After forming the needed hand seal, the user hardens their body using the Earth Element. This provides greater defense against attack and will also strengthen their arms to increase their striking ability. Like other Doton based jutsu, it is weak against Raiton attacks. This technique increases the user's Fortitude moderately, and physical Strength slightly. For an upkeep of half the original cost, this technique can continue past the first post.

▰ Ganban Kyuu [ Rock Plate Coffin ] | Rank B
After forming the needed hand seals, the user generates plates of rock which rise from around their target, entomb and then crush them. A shinobi skilled in Earth Element abilities can avoid being crushed and emerge from the coffin.

▰ Ganchuusou [ Rock Pillar Spears ] | Rank B-S
With this technique, the user generates spears of rock which can rise up and impale their target. A minimum of B-ranked chakra for a two meter diameter, after hand seals.

▰ Iwa no Yoroi [ Shield of Stone ] | Rank B

Since it covers a shinobi with hard stone and clay, this jutsu causes the user's body to weigh more and stamina usage is increased. A single hand seal is required for this jutsu, and up to B-ranked attacks can be negated at the cost of the stone cracking. Speed is moderately decreased and stamina usage is increased by ten per physical technique. Armor can be repaired for half of the original cost once per post.

▰ Karyoku Bunshin no Jutsu [ Volcanic Earth Clone Skill ] | Rank B
This jutsu creates a 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. Requires several hand seals, and can take up to A-rank damage without breaking. The strength of physical attacks is increased by one rank, however it looses one supreme in speed.

▰ Kukan no Sekkai Senshi [ Body Of The Stone Warrior ] | Rank B

It is almost as if the the user gains another body. The body is usually at least ten feet tall and comes complete with a large shield in one hand and a sword, spear, or pike in the other. Only the face of the user can be seen. Other stone jutsu can be used after the performance of this jutsu from the stone of the warrior itself. As it stands on the ground it automatically replenishes its supply of stone. The shinobi cannot move quickly, however, and the stone body can be destroyed by continuous attacks. Withstands up to B-rank attacks without breaking, may take up to two A-ranked attacks, and is entirely destroyed by S-ranked attacks. Strength behind attacks is heavily increased. However, speed is mildly reduced. Can be repaired for half the original cost once per post.

▰ Sekkai Bunshin no Jutsu [ Rock Clone Technique ] | Rank B
This clone is actually created out of rock, not just dirt and other pieces of earth. This clone is faster and stronger than a simple earth clone. The bunshin can have the same physical stats of the user. Activated via several hand seals, this clone comes forth from the earth in front of the user. Clone has the same descriptive bonuses as the user.

▰ Sekkai Bunshin: Shinogeru Inshou [ Stone Clone: Protective Seal ] | Rank B
Aefensive seal that protects an Earthen wall from all types of attacks, B-ranked or lower. More than one seal must be used to be effective. Simply slapping an active Doton technique will apply the extra defensive barrier. Each additional seal stacks with the previous, making for a formidable defense.

Sekkai Keibou [ Stone Guard Creation ] | Rank B
This technique creates a phalanx of eight semi-animate stone figures with large shields, tiger heads, and giant pikes. The phalanx of monsters are as fast as a D-rank shinobi, but may only fight as a single unit. They can not stray more than five feet from one another. The performer of this technique must remain at the center of this phalanx or the phalanx will become immobile. Requires a single hand seal, and each guard can take a B-ranked attack without breaking apart. A C-rank amount of chakra can be used to restore one broken phalanx, but each repair requires an activation.

▰ Sekkai Saka [ Rock Hill Creation ] | Rank D-S [learned as B]
This technique creates a large hill made of rock. The slope is very steep and made of highly slippery shale rock. It is useful as a defensible platform to perform other techniques from. For every rank, the hill increases in height by 15 feet. This technique requires only that the user stomp a foot, causing the earth to rise them up to the designated effect.

▰ Tsuchi Shouaku no Jutsu [ Earth Holding Technique ] | Rank B
This technique allows the user to manipulate the earth below an opponents feet to rise up and grab hold of both their legs. The earth is rather durable, and can only be very easily physically forced away by exceptionally strong shinobi. However, the downside is that the earth rises up rather slowly, and a well trained shinobi would be able to notice it fairly easily. It can also only be used on natural earth, meaning it can’t be used in buildings or covered ground. Requires several hand seals to perform.

A-Ranked Techniques


▰ Akatsuchi's Rock Golem | Rank A
After emitting a malleable and strong rock from their mouth, the user shapes it into a humanoid form capable of assisting them. Because the Golem does not require hand seals to use, the shinobi can emit and manipulate it with their mouth only. This allows them to use the jutsu even when their hands are bound. One only has to think about a golem's form and open their mouth for the pictured form to appear. Any and all actions must be made through a temporary link from the mouth to the golem. Severing the link ceases the jutsu.

▰ Dochūbaku [ Landslide ] | Rank A
The user causes the ground to explode upward powerfully, sending a landslide towards the target. The explosions move across the ground in a straight line, with enough force to demolish small forests.

▰ Dororou [ Mud Wolves ] | Rank A
A trap technique that is activated upon coming in contact with the opponent's chakra. The shinobi uses a scroll to lay a trap where mud shapes into wolves that attack the enemy. Even if damaged the wolves will simply reform, keeping the enemy occupied while the user makes a getaway. The only drawback to this technique is its time-consuming set up. The technique requires two posts of set-up and a scroll. Lasts for ten posts or until the scroll is destroyed, whichever happens first.

▰ Dosekiryuu [ Earth and Stone Dragon ] | Rank A
The user creates a dragon made from the ground to attack the opponent. This dragon lasts for up to five posts and can be directed if the user is still while using the technique. The dragon is a traditional Chinese-style in appearance and about twenty feet long. It can use projectile Doton techniques the user knows, as well as formless strikes with teeth, claws and tail up to A rank. However it has only one activation per post. Can be destroyed by techniques A-rank and higher.

▰ Kyouka Jutsu [ Hardening Technique ] | Rank A
This technique coats the user's body with stones, making them much more resistant to attacks, at the cost of some speed. The stone covers the body without gaps and can be used to change the user’s appearance. While using this armor, the stone layer can be manipulated to form blunt weapons for stronger attacks. Supremely decreases the user's speed. No chakra is required for the initial activation, but a sustained chakra cost of B-rank per post is set after that. Forming weapons requires C-rank chakra. This technique gains a heavy increase in fortitude and strength.

▰ Iwagakure no Jutsu [ Rock Hiding Technique ] | Rank A
This jutsu allows the user to change their appearance by blending and merging with the surrounding rock. This allows the ninja to move unseen, which assists in attack and escape. After performing a single handsign, the user fades to match the colors of the rock around them, finally merging with the rock. This move is akin to Mayfly, but only within surface rock in the immediate area. Requires at minimum an A-ranked amount of chakra.

S+ Rank Techniques


▰ Iwa Finaru [ Rock Finale ] | Rank S+
This technique causes rocks and other earthen debris to continuously barrage an opponent from all directions. As soon as each of the pieces of debris approaches the opponent, they explode, creating a brutal destructive force. While standing still, the user crosses their arms and stomps a foot.

▰ Shishi Dojou [ Corpse Soil ] | Rank S+
Regarded as the ultimate Earth Element Resurrection Technique, this technique requires that the user kill victims to provide corpses for the jutsu. Unfurling a large scroll depicting the area, the user then marks the boundaries for the jutsu. The corpses are then called forth when Uitenpen [ Impermanence ] is used. When reanimated, the corpses become mindless zombies that follow the user's will to either use their unique jutsu or kill more victims to later be added to the jutsu. When a zombie is sufficiently smashed or sliced, they disperse into dirt particles. The jutsu user can end the existence of any of the resurrected corpses at any time. When the jutsu user is killed, the corpses they control under the technique disperse, ending the jutsu. Does not require chakra to maintain, just to activate it. After activation, the user must remain at the site of the scroll, or have some other source of chakra connected to the scroll.
