Earth Release; Earthshatter | Doton; Dokudaka
Type: Ninjutsu [ Iwagakure | Earth ]
Rank: Chuunin
Cost: 55 Chakra
Damage: 30
Effect: If this technique is used on a target that has been affected by the Prone status in the last two of their turns or currently has the Prone status, then this technique deals 20 more damage. Target also gains the Startled status effect for two turns.
Description: Carefully collecting a hand of soil or terrain, the user gathers it in their palm and lightly blows upon it. Upon doing so, it then covers the target and suddenly coagulates all over them, as though squirming. With one final handseal, the hardening soil finally settles, only to violently shatter; impacting the target with shards of galvanized soil and terrain. Quite visually impressive, it is a perfect demonstration of a shinobi's progression from Gennin to Chuunin rank.

Earth Release; Jaws of the Mother | Doton; Wareme No Haha
Type: Ninjutsu [ Iwagakure | Earth ]
Rank: Gennin
Cost: 40 Chakra
Damage: 10
Effect: Opponent gains the 'Numb' status effect for one turn. If this technique is used on a target that has been affected by the 'Prone' status in the last two of their turns or currently has the 'Prone' status, then the 'Numb' effect of this technique lasts one more turn.
Description: Traditionally used on an exposed target, the user places both hands on the ground and imbues the earth with a small pool of chakra. Upon doing this, the user quickly stands up and gestures upwards with their hands; palms showing to the sky. This is followed by a signature grinding noise as the earth sinks downwards and then rises quickly while closing around the target. Leaving one, very pained target to deal with the numbness spreading through their body.

Earth Release; Minor Tremor | Doton; Bimyōna Shinsen
Type: Ninjutsu [ Earth ]
Rank: Gennin
Cost: 35 Chakra
Damage: 5
Effect: Opponent gains the 'Prone' status effect for one turn. If this technique is followed with another Earth element technique that causes damage, they take 10% more damage from it.
Description: By focusing the correct amount of chakra, the user stomps on the ground. By doing this in synch with the release of some chakra to the feet, the ground begins to ripple and sends out a single wave of earth towards the target. Once knocked over, the target is further exposed to more earth techniques. This makes a decent combo technique when used correctly.

Earth Release; Rising Earth Wall | Doton; Doryūheki
Type: Ninjutsu [ Earth | Barrier ]
Rank: Jounin
Cost: 350 Chakra
Effect: Used in the Response Phase or Main Phase. Creates a barrier with 700 health points. If used in the Response Phase, the user skips their next Main Phase. May be used twice per battle.
Description: This technique allows the user to create a protective wall out of earth. One method of doing this is for the user to convert chakra in their body into an earthen material that they spit from their mouth; the more skilled the user, the greater the volume of earth that can be created. The earth quickly piles up into a defensive wall, blocking incoming attacks. Although the muddy material is solid on its own, it is further fortified with a coat of chakra. A second method of performing this technique is to instead manipulate pre-existing earth directly: by placing their hands on the ground, users can raise the ground as a barrier in front of them. Walls erected in this way are typically featureless, but users of considerable skill and practice can alter the appearance if they choose.

Type: Ninjutsu [ Iwagakure | Earth ]
Rank: Jounin
Cost: 50 Chakra, 50 Chakra Upkeep
Effect: The user is 'Enlarged' as long as this technique is active. At the start of each Main Phase, the user rolls a d10 and on a result of 6-10 the first attack in this Main Phase adds one (1) turn of 'Clobbered' to its effects. Maximum of 4 turns.
Description: This nin coats him/herself with a thick stone carapace that increases their size as well as combat potency. The strong blows from this form send the opponent reeling backwards a few steps, forcing them to spend time recovering from the attack.
Points: 5

Earth Release; Tracking Fang Skill | Doton; Tsuiga no Jutsu
Type: Ninjutsu [ Iwagakure | Earth ]
Rank: Chuunin
Cost: 50 Chakra
Effect: May only be used when a Summon is under the user's control. Target is 'Shackled Paired Legs' for one (1) turn. This technique has a +10% Chance to Hit. May only be used once per battle.
Description: This technique is used to incorporate the "Kuchiyose No Jutsu". It uses it as a fast-paced tracking system by sending your summon underground to the area where your opponent is. It takes them by surprise and allows your summon to hold them down long enough for you to perform another attack on your opponent.

Iwa Release; Pinpoint Fault | Iwaton; Seimitsu Dansousen
Type: Ninjutsu [ Iwagakure | Earth ]
Rank: Chuunin
Cost: 90 Chakra
Damage: 40
Effect: Target character is unequipped of all pieces of equipment that are not attached to their body. Victim may pay a setup phase to pick up a single piece of equipment per turn. Opponent gains the 'Prone' status effect for one turn.
Description: Creating a temporary fault line running beneath the opponent, the user taps into the line and begins to make the earth immediately around it shift. This causes a small scale earthquake that basically knocks the target off their feet and flings their equipment every which way. While it's not particularly impressive to see, it is still very effective and is fantastic for setting up combos against over-equipped opponents. After all, people seem to like it shaken, not stirred.

Soil Clone Technique | Iwa Bunshin no Jutsu
Type: Ninjutsu [ Clone | Iwagakure | Earth ]
Rank: Chuunin
Cost: 105x Chakra
Effect: Each Soil Clone has 105 Health and 25% of the user's remaining stats. If destroyed by an opponent, the Soil Clone has a 25% chance to afflict that opponent with 'Slow' for one (1) turn. Maximum of two (2) clones may be created.
Description: In similar fashion with any other clone technique, Iwa Bunshin No Jutsu can make up to several clones made out of soil from the ground around them. The clones take on the appearance of their creator, but when destroyed explode in a burst of compressed soil. The soil latches onto enemy that destroyed them, hindering their movement.
Points: 7

Rank: Gennin
Cost: 50 Chakra
Effect: The user gains a shield with 100 Health. The user may not use Ninjutsu while this shield is active.
