Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well the first sight of Jinton jutsu was when the Tsuchikage used that jutsu. But Jinton is a elemental creation, One guarenteed element is earth and the other is unknown. Jinton style of ninjutsu can be used by either breaking down the molecular bindings of compounds or combine those binding in a shape of a object (like what the Tsuchikage used). But using jutsu of this capacity would require a lot of chakra control and would also take a lot of chakra to use....There are also theories that Jinton ninjutsu is consider forbidden jutsus as it as to be used on the molecular level, which for many ninja would be difficult. The Tsuchikage is very old so his limit on using this level of jutsu is very limited unless of emergencies. That is also another theories.

But from what I researched from theories of Jinton ninjutsu. I found out that it is a elemental creation of Earth and unknown element. This style of jutsu allows someone to either break down or combine dust particals at a molecular level. Also that it require much chakra control to perform these jutsus. And finally, The Tsuchikage is the only one to have been seen using this style of ninjutsu.

As for the elemental creation. There have been many theories on what elements are used in combinations in order to use Jinton. One element for certain is Earth, but for the other element is where people are usually Stumped. People theorized it either Wind or Lightning. But Sand is a combo of earth as well, so it probably uses in a combo of earth and wind so that could level out wind as that.

As for space-related ninjutsu. Im going to have to disagree with that theory. Space/time ninjutsu and Jinton have nothing in common for that!! The idea of that is completely ridiculous.

Iron Sand was created through experimentation and studies of Shikaku. Jinton is elemental creations. And what I was meaning by breaking down was what Tsuchikage used for the jutsu he used. With the Jinton ninjutsu, he combined particles into a cube and then used it to pulverized his target, which was Sasuke, at a molecular level breaking down into dust. That was what I'm meaning when it comes to the term breaking down. But to do something like that would require a s**t load of chakra. So the chances of seeing a Jinton jutsu that does that in WotN is highly unlikely, and I'm not planninig on pushing beyond that. Therefore the only most liekly idea of a jutsu I could think up that would be involved with breaking down compounds is like a body flicker technique. As for the example I provided. That may not be the perfect example, but its the only thing that shows Jinton ninjutsu at work.

I do understand now what you meant by space!! I thought you were referring to space/time jutsu used by the 4th or Madara. There I disagreed with you. Both if you referring to space as particles and atomic wise, then thats a the opposite. There I would agree most likely.

Kouri - a question on Jutsu learning. Does the point system only apply for your rank pre-timeskip, or is it after grading? I know for the requirements it is more flexible, as if you fill the requirements after the upgrades you said it was considered fine too.

They also do the Levitation Technique... THERE'S MORE CONFUSION FOR YOU. No, it's not flight, because he seemed to not be able to move, just float... So its a technique for SHOW, or it get high above the opponent and use that Dust cube...

And if you are going for elemental, I would say that Earth+Wind... Or, it could actually be one of the few clans who can naturally do Nature and Shape Transformation. So it's Earth+Rasengan-like-techniques. Or it's just, Shape Transformation...

But Dust Release does seem pretty powerful... That Cube did leave a huge square hole in the wall where Sasuke ONCE was... Dust_Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique

Also... Iron Sand.

At this point I think it is to early to judge Jinton and way to early to use it. If I had to guess I don't think it actually allows the user to turn anything they want into sub atomic particles. The way I see it is that he can create incredibly tiny particles of dust (not at the atomic level) that are pact into a small area creating a very dense object. This object then works in the same way that wrecking ball turns a cement wall into cement dust.

To explain the Tsuchikage's hovering I would either guess that he is stand on a flat plane of these particles or with enough practice one could use the principles of water walking and apply to air molecules allowing for flight/hovering.

Or they might explain it away the way they do ALL things that defy what we already k nowa bout jutsu and chakra.

It's a kekkie genkai >.> lazy writting I suppose.

But the particle manipulation does make the most sense. If he can gather the particles of dust in the air together to form a solid, dense object like that block, gathering them under his clothes (or of his clothes even) and moving them about with his chakra would, logically, be fairly easy. After all, he's not exactly a large fellow.

What if you are (like Cheer) refusing recalibration? I received a similar question not long from someone.

May perhaps an option be made to judge by after you receive the timeskip bonuses? I do not imagine training recounts would take up necessarily more than 1/8th of a timeskip story anyways. It could be added in afterwards, if the person wishes to, to better explain the existence of the new additions to the arsenal.
