EARTH RELEASE TECHNIQUES

Name: Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique
Rank: D
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short
Description: This technique conceals the user underground and drags the object of their attack down into the earth, robbing them of their freedom, leaving them completely unable to move after they're underground. In addition, they can start another attack. This technique is normally used for torture, by cutting into the enemy's neck after it was used.
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release: Earth Shore Return
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short
Description: After striking the ground with their hands, the user creates a large wall of earth in front of them. The defence is not perfect though, since a hard or drilling impact 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.
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short
Description: This technique changes earth into fine sand by channelling 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.

When combined with clone techniques, the user can use the clone to lure their enemies into a trap or false sense of security before launching a surprise attack from below.
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release: Subterranean Voyage
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short
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".
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release: Tearing Earth Turning Palm
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: All ranges
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.[2] This technique is much more damaging if used in rocky mountainous areas, or inside a cave.
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release: Underground Projection Fish Technique
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short
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.
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release Barrier: Earth Prison Dome of Magnificent Nothingness
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short to Mid-range
Description: This technique traps the victims inside a self-repairing dome of earth which is almost instantaneously able to reform. The user is able to absorb the chakra of anyone trapped inside (-10 chakra from every individual). However, if the user's chakra is not evenly distributed throughout the dome then it has a weakness. Near the back, relative to the user, the dome weaker in that spot.
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release: Added-Weight Rock Technique
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short-range
Description: A technique which enhances the targets gravity at the user's discretion. The enemy's mobility is diminished, as the person is crushed by gravity — and in some cases exhibit petrification-like symptoms and then begin to crumble. Using a desert region to their advantage, the user can easily bury the enemy alive by submerging them in sand. When this technique is applied to the user it decreases their speed, but the increased weight drastically improves their strength (-20 Speed, +40 Strength). This method makes it possible for even a weak person to land a devastating hit.
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release: Earth Mausoleum Dumpling
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short to Mid-range
Description: With chakra work and superhuman strength, the user lifts up the very surface of the Earth. The lump of earth is gigantic, guaranteeing its destructive power. 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 their opponent, flattening everything in its path.
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release: Earth Spear
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short
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, easily capable of withstanding most attacks with little to no damage. As a result 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. Furthermore, the destructive power of physical attacks is increased, making this a great all-purpose technique (+ 20 to Durability and Strength).
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release: Earth-Style Rampart
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short to Mid-range
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.
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: Short-range
Description: The user creates a solid wall of earth as a form of defence. Chakra is either converted to earth within the body and 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 an Kage-class shinobi it is possible to create a vast volume of earth.
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release: Opening Earth Rising Excavation
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: All ranges
Description: With this technique, the user can bring up on the surface something that is deep underground. The targets are launched in air with great strength and speed, the result of which has the appearance and nearly size of an erupting volcano. It can force a large number of soldiers hidden underground to resurface all at once. Alternatively a single user can perform a smaller scaled version which bring forth multiple earth pillars.
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release: Rock Lodging Destruction
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: All ranges
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.
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.

Name: Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Earth Release
Range: All ranges
Description: By changing the surface of an object beneath the target into mud and creating a swamp, the user can sink their target into the mud. The adhesive, chakra-infused mud ensnares the 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
Requirements: User must have Earth Release.
