Earth Release Techniques

~D-rank~


Name: Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
Rank: D-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth
Range: Close
Handseals: None
Description: This technique conceals the user underground and drags the object of their attack down into the earth, robbing them of their freedom. In addition, they can start another attack.


~C-rank~


Name: Earth Release: Earth Shore Return
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth
Range: 5m
Handseals: Striking the ground with both hands
Description: After striking the ground with both hands, the user creates a large wall of earth in front of them. The defense is not perfect though, since a hard or drilling impact such as the Spiked Human Bullet Tank technique can puncture the wall. Also, since this technique only guards against frontal attacks, the enemy can easily attack from the side or even from above.

Name: Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: -
Handseals: None
Speed: 50
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, by sensing the magnetic forces. 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. It also appears that after digging, the ground can be returned to its original state, leaving no trace of where the user entered the earth.

Name: Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm
Rank: C-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: 20m
Handseals: Boar → Ox → Technique specific seal
Speed: 45
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: Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique
Rank: C-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Close
Handseals: None
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.

Name: Earth Release: Rock Shelter
Rank: C-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Close
Handseals: Snake, Rabbit, Ram.
Description: The user surrounds themselves with earth, taken from the immediate vicinity, in order to fabricate a formation of rock that is capable of protecting both the user and others in close proximity, if desired. Doing so, seemingly leaves the surrounding terrain unaltered, even when the quantity of earth used is enough to form a complete dome around multiple individuals. The user can also manipulate the resulting shelter to have openings in it so as to be able to observe outside.

Name: Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage
Rank: C-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: -
Handseals: None
Speed: 50
Description: A technique that transforms the earth surrounding the user into a fluid, allowing them to 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". Users have been known to combine this technique with s a Long Sword, allowing it to protrude from the ground, like a shark's dorsal fin


~B-rank~


Name: Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome of Magnificent Nothingness
Rank: B-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: 30m
Handseals: Slam hands on ground
Description: This technique traps the victims inside a self-repairing dome of earth which is almost instantaneously able to reform, even after hit it with a Passing Fang. The user can be able to absorb the chakra of anyone trapped inside. However, the users chakra was not evenly distributed throughout the dome. Near the back, relative to him, his chakra was much weaker, making the dome weaker in that spot [absorption of 20 chakra points per turn]

Name: Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide
Rank: B-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Long
Handseals: Rabbit → Boar → Rat → Horse → Tiger → Snake
Speed: 60
Description: By flowing concentrated chakra from one's palms into the Dragon Veins flowing 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 Dragon Veins 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.

Name: Earth Release: Earth-Style Rampart
Rank: B-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: 40m high
Handseals: Tiger
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: Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling
Rank: B-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Boulder is 15m in diameter; can be thrown 10m
Handseals: None
Speed: Boulder moves at a Speed of 20
Description: With chakra work and superhuman strength, 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 at his opponent, flattening everything in its path.


Name: Earth Release: Earth Spear
Rank: B-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Close
Handseals: Snake
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 diamond. 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, excluding its undeniable weak point: Lightning Release ninjutsu. Shinobi with the earth release as a primary element along with mastery in Ninjutsu demonstrate the ability to use this to cover themselves partially (i.e. their hand and lower arm, and the side of his head) without using hand seals, which gives them a significant tactical advantage against ambushes. Although, this technique does have a drawback in that one cannot really move parts of their body that is hardened.

Name: Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall
Rank: B-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: 10m
Handseals:Tiger → Hare → Boar → Dog
Description: The user creates a solid wall of earth as a form of defense. Chakra is either converted to earth within the body, 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 takes 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 Kage-class shinobi it is possible to create a vast volume of earth. Some shinobi can create walls composed of sculptures.

Name: Earth Release: Rock Lodging Destruction
Rank: B-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Long
Handseals: Tiger → Rat → Snake
Description: This technique causes a cave-in by destroying the equilibrium that holds the cave together. Just removing a single vital stone throws off the balance of the cave, making it unexpectedly fragile and causing a domino effect that destroys the entire cave. The shinobi from Iwagakure use this technique as part of their pride tactic, luring several enemies into a cave to kill them all at once.

Name: Rock Clone Jutsu
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth
Range: Clones can travel within 50 meters of user

Element: Earth
Range: Close
Handseals: Half Ram - Boar - Bird - Ox - Hare - Ox - Half-Ram

B Rank | 25 x 25 x 25
A Rank | 30 x 30 x 30
S Rank | 35 x 35 x 35
Handseals: Half Ram - Tiger - Ram - Clap
Description: This technique grants the user the ability to lower or raise the ground in the surrounding area, allowing them to create giant holes or elevations in the ground. The size of the affected area as well as the depths that it is lowered or raised to is also up to the user. With precise timing, this technique can be used to evade incoming attacks, as well as to endanger opponents by moving them into the path of an oncoming attack reducing their reaction time as well as knocking them off balance, making it even harder to avoid the attack. Other than being moved below or above ground — relative to the surrounding surface — the terrain is not altered as plant life and people retain their same positions when this technique is used. [S-rank is Great Moving Earth Core]

Name: Fissure
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth
Range: 20m
Handseals: Dog → Snake → Horse → Tiger → Snake → Dog → Tiger

~A-rank~


Name: Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld
Rank: A-rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: 50m
Handseals: Boar --> Tiger
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.
