Tsukara, the Shell of the Earth
[/u]Rank: B
Type: Primary / Melee / Sword
Description: A modified Wakizashi with a blade that extends just slightly beyond the natural length of a wakizashi. Though longer than a standard Wakizashi, it is shorter than an average Katana, with a blade length of 55 cm from base to point. The weapon is fashioned in traditional Japanese sword style, with a curved blade and sharp on both sides. At the end of the blade exists a thick (1/2 inch) and wide (1/3 inch), circular guard of a dark green color, with a grip of the same color that extends down about 11 inches, allowing for easy two-handed use, although still capable of one-handed use as well. The weapon is devoid of a standard pommel, and instead simply tapers off. It is sheathed inside of a dark green, metallic sheath, which causes a slight ringing sound whenever the blade is withdrawn quickly. When wielded by a Doton user, additional abilities may make themselves known, although it is important to note that using the techniques can cause an extreme strain of chakra and stamina.
Cost: 50,000 Ryo
Tsuchiritsu (Earth Commandment)[/u]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Ninjutsu / Kenjutsu / Supplementary
Range: Starts out only being able to effect the area immediately touching the blade. Every Rank above D rank increases the range by 5 meters.
Consumption: Low - Medium, depending on how much earth is gathered.
Special: Uses chakra to pull base elements out of the atmosphere and condense them, forming solid rock material capable of being used for Doton ninjutsu.
Description: The basis for the majority of the techniques utilized by the Tsukara. When a Doton user wields the Tsukara, he or she is capable of channeling Doton chakra into the weapon, causing the blade of the sword to gift of a dim, dark green glow. By releasing the chakra from the weapon into the air, an act normally accomplished by moving the sword through the air, the user is capable of creating solid rock material which can be used for other Doton ninjutsu or other things. The amount of rock created is limited by the range of this technique.
Domain: Tsukara, Doton.
Iwanomi (Rockbiter)[/u]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Ninjutsu / Kenjutsu / Offensive
Range: Range is originally limited to the area of the blade. C Rank increases range to 1 meter, B Rank increases range to 5 meters, A Rank increases range to 10 meters, and S Rank increases range to 25 meters.
Consumption: Low - Mid
Special: Covers the Tsukara in heavy rock, modifying the damage dealt from slashing to blunt, as well as increasing the damage done by a melee attack by the rank of the jutsu. Higher levels of the jutsu can increase the range of the attack by creating a giant stone sword to crush people with from a distance.
Description: The purpose of this technique is three-fold. Firstly, the user will swing the Tsukara through the air, gathering minerals and hardening it around the sword. When the weapon makes impact, the stone, not sharpened, deals no slashing damage. Instead, it deals blunt damage. Due to the heavier nature of the stone, its crushing damage is also increased, causing more pain than would have normally been dealt. Finally, the user can use the stone to attack from range, swinging the sword at a distance and allowing the rock to form from the sword to swing down and crush opponents.
Domain: Must have Tsuchiritsu of the corresponding Rank.
Ishikabe (Stone Wall)[/u]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Ninjutsu / Kenjutsu / Defensive
Range: Up to 5 meters
Consumption: D = Low, S = High
Special: Creates a wall of solid rock from a sword slash, which can be used to protect the user from all sorts of attacks.
Description: By anticipating an incoming attack, the wielder of the Tsukara may gather their Doton chakra and slash the sword through the air, creating a wall of up to 5 meters by 5 meters of solid stone directly in front of them. The strength of the wall is dependent on the amount of chakra utilized. The wall is capable of halting one incoming attack of the same Rank as it before crumbling, although it may sustain multiple blows from lowering ranking jutsu.
Domain: Must have Tsuchiritsu of the corresponding Rank.
Katsui (Ripspike)[/u]
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu / Kenjutsu / Offensive
Range: 10 meters
Consumption: Low
Special: Creates a spike of earth from a slash of the Tsukara that will fly towards an opponent and attempt to impale it.
Description: Through a quick slash through the air, the user releases Doton chakra from Tsukara, creating a large, 3 meter in length and one meter in width, spike of solidified earth towards the opponent at speeds just slower than an average speed kunai, unless the attack came from above, where increased momentum causes the spike to fall at speeds slightly above a kunai. Only one spike may be created per slash. The spike may only retain its trajectory surely for 10 meters; after that, the rock will follow the laws of gravity and will take the shortest path down.
Domain: Must have Tsuchiritsu 'C' Rank.
Atsuenmaruishi (Rolling Boulder)[/u]
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu / Kenjutsu / Offensive
Range: 20 meters.
Consumption: Medium
Special: Creates a large boulder with a circumference of up to 5 meters from a spinning sword slash which can be used to attack an opponent.
Description: Gathering Doton chakra and then swinging the sword in a circle overhead creates a large boulder of rock which is controlled by the point of the sword until the boulder is released to roll towards its opponent. The user may only hold a boulder for up to 5 seconds before launching it; failure to release the boulder will cause it to drop on the user. The boulder will roll in its set path for up to 20 meters; afterwards, it will follow the standard laws of gravity and will fall and aim for the most convenient place of rest.
Domain: Must have 'B' Rank Tsuchiritsu.
Hyakumanhanpa Daiarashi (One Million Fragment Maelstrom)[/u]
Rank: A, S
Type: Ninjutsu / Kenjutsu / Offensive
Range: 10 meters diameter
Consumption: Medium to activate, Low per turn to maintain, Low to switch directions
Special: The user creates an incredibly large amount of tiny, sharp, and jagged rocks which fly in high speeds around the user.
Description: As one might suggest, this ability creates an effective 'hail storm' of sharp, tiny rocks which fly in high speed circles around the user. To create the maelstrom, the user must first have created, or else had, enough rock. Then, stabbing the rock with Tsukara, the rock would explode in a 180 degree cone in front of the user. Then, swinging the sword in a circle overhead, the released Doton chakra from Tsukara animates the many rock shards and causes a tempest around the user. Opponents caught within the maelstrom will be assaulted by hundreds of dangerous objects. An area of one foot around the user is considered the 'eye of the storm', where the rocks will not fly within, thus the user is unharmed. With the A rank version of the technique, the jutsu is stationary; however, with the S Rank, the user is capable of moving, causing the eye of the storm of move with him, around and about, in order to chase enemies. At any point, the user may choose to switch the direction that the rocks are spinning about; however, this may only be done once per turn. Though spinning quickly, the rocks have no additional strength to them and proper defensive jutsu (C Rank or higher) is capable of blocking it, if the defense can block all of the rocks.
Domain: Must have 'A' Rank Tsuchiritsu.
Niwakayama (Sudden Mountain)[/u]
Rank: A, S
Type: Ninjutsu / Kenjutsu / Offensive
Range: 20 meters
Consumption: Very High
Special: Creates a large inverted pyramid rock formation above an opponent that attempts to crush them.
Description: With Tsukara filled to the brim with Doton chakra, the user then attempts to make a downward slash towards an opponent. When the opponent finally blocks, the chakra is released in an inverted pyramid fashion, with the point aimed towards the opponent with the side gradually tilted towards the opponent, and creates a rock formation that falls on the opponent while the user moves out of harm's way. The pyramid is 20x20 meters at its base, making escape from the pyramid falling on its side towards the opponent very difficult. With the A rank version of the technique, the rock pyramid is created while the user still has their blade in contact with the opponent, giving them warning of the impending assault. With the S rank, the chakra delays the creation of the rock momentarily while the user backs off before being created over the head of the opponent, creating a much larger element of surprise.
Domain: Must have the corresponding rank of Tsuchiritsu.
Tachikiru (To Cut Asunder)[/u]
Rank: S
Type: Ninjutsu / Kenjutsu / Offensive
Range: 25 meters
Consumption: Low for each second of contact, Very High to detonate.
Special: Sends Doton chakra deep into an area that has been recently attacked, filling it. Upon the user's Handseal, the Doton chakra 'explodes', for lack of a better term, creating large amounts of rock from the inside of an object before it bursts through it.
Description: One of the trickiest assaults that many people would not consider from a Doton user, Tachikiru begins as a feint that an opponent is likely to guard. Using the moment of contact, the user sends his or her Doton chakra deep into the target. The longer the contact is held, the more Doton chakra is capable of being sent into the target. For only brief contact (less than a second), the user may send up to 6 inches worth of Doton chakra into the opponent. For every 1 second of contact, the user may send 1 foot worth of Doton chakra into the opponent. The Doton chakra remains in the target area for up to three turns, allowing the user to create a large amount of Doton chakra within the target. Then, performing Handseals, the user will 'detonate' the stored Doton chakra, creating sharp, dense rock from the inside of the target which pushes its way outwards.
Domain: Must have 'S' Rank Tsuchiritsu.
