Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique)

Rank: D

Skill: NinJutsu

Effect: A technique where the user takes the time to formulate, or create Rock in order to use other types of techniques for great usages.

Special: "Handseals"

Drawback: Must be learned more and more in order to be capable of performing better, and capable of producing more Rock like formations for other types of techniques. Can not be used on Sand
Description: What occurs is that the user takes the time to push down into the ground their own chakra. As the user does this the user takes the earth like materials found within the ground which is the components of soil as they begin to formulate and harden them all around in order to create harden rock like materials. The user may slam their hands against the ground in order to use this technique or just by pushing their chakra down to the ground. A user can gain the capability of grabbing onto the very ground and molding a piece of earth into a hardened like rock. The more the user learns and the higher the Difficulty class the user becomes the more they are capable of mastering this type of technique. When first learned the user is only capable of formulating rock into the size of their hand. When the user learns the "C" Rank version this type increases to five meters in radius. Each time learned after that the distance increases by ten feet giving a total distance of thirty five meters in a radius distance. For each Difficulty class the User is the larger number this distance becomes. Each Difficulty class after C The distance increases by Ten meters. This means that if a user becomes S Rank in Difficulty Class and learns the S Rank Version of this technique the user is capable of formulating Rock within a Seventy Five meters Radius.

Limit: Needs the Earth Release

[Just outside of where the Sand meets the soil, a sandstorm blows uninhibited. Mountains shoot up from the earth as a testament of the earth's might, the sun hung high in the sky, making the sandstorm seem even more fearsome than before. Slowly, a dark figure begins to become visible through the veil of sand. Inching it's way through the high velocity sand, the figure is close to making it's way through the sand completely. Cloaked in a red, Ink-stained sheet, head to toe. Finally exiting the sandstorm the figure drops the sheet, crumpled to the ground at it's feet. Kakaru Li steps from the sheet on the ground as he looks back on the sandstorm feet behind him, picking up his sheet before hastily pulling his coat up and wrapping the sheet around his midsection and securing it with a knot and dropping his trench coat over it.]

["That should keep that out of the way... it took me for freaking-ever to get out of there..." Kakaru says as he looks to the grassy, somewhat sandy looking ground he is now standing on. "Hmmm, Last time I saw grass was a long time ago..." Kakaru snaps to and begins walking in the way he was previously, towards the Mountains, where the earth was bare, with no vegetation with the exception of a few weeds here and there. After walking rather quickly a for a bit, Kakaru arrives to his destination. He drops to his knees as he looks at the barren earth with a look of determination. Slowly, he begins running his hands over a craggy spot he nods to no one in particular and puts his hands together and in moderately quick succession uses the Ox, the Rat and Snake handseals. Kakaru then slams his hands to the ground and in a loud, assertive voice "Doton: Soushi no Jutsu!" and quickly concentrates and molds his chakra to his hands and into the earth. Slowly a chunk of earth begins to rise from the earth.]

[Kakaru pressed on as he continued to pour his chakra into the earth with the chunk of rock hardening and steadily growing like a plant, suddenly it breaks, crumbling back to the dirt it was made from. "DAMN IT!" he yells as he begins to feel a bit of exhaustion from his hour, upon hour journey from the desert to the grassy, mountainous area where the desert ends. Kakaru falls backwards and watches the clouds roll by as he takes a short break.]

[Dusting himself off after resting for a short while Kakaru stands back up and looks to the pile of broken dirt and rock that his attempted ninjutsu had left in it's mistaken wake. Yet again he puts his hands together and repeats the handseals once again. "Doton: Soushi no Jutsu!" he says slightly louder than previously as he puts his hands to the ground, however this time sticks his fingers into the earth slightly and molds his chakra into the earth, straining a bit more than before he begins to pull up slowly until a chunk of earth about the size of his fist was surfaced as it begins to harden. "I... think I've got it!" he says as he removes his hands from the rock as it holds it's shape. Kakaru then picks up the fruit of his labor and studies it.]

["Heavy in weight... hard mass... seems about right... but a bigger size won't kill it." He says, looking for flaws in his new creation. Suddenly Kakaru pulls a single kunai from his pouch and hurls the earth clod into the air throws the Kunai after it as they clash in the air, the earth poofing into dirt as the Kunai falls to the earth about 30 feet from his current position, stuck in the ground. Kakaru sets off to retrieve his Kunai. Taking in the sights of the craggy, barren mountain Kakaru mused to himself "Meh, just like home... no Pizazz, no grass on them... boring." Kakaru reaches his Kunai pulls it from the ground.]

[Kakaru studies the Kunai, which is covered in a fine dust of dirt he had destroyed. "From the fineness of this dirt... It seems my rock wasn't very strong..." Kakaru then puts the uncleaned kunai back into his pouch as he allows a look of disappointment overtakes his face as he sits back down near the edge of the nearest mountain contemplating how to create stronger earth.]

# Choju Giga (Super Beast Imitation Picture)
Rank: C-Rank
Users: Sai
Sai draws creatures on his sketchpad, and then uses this technique to bring them to life. They can act as they normally would (for example, a bird can be used for espionage or flight, while a tiger would attack his target), or he can control them for other purposes.
Level: 39

* Stage 1: The user of this technique is able to create multiple small to large creatures such as insects, birds, rodents, small cats and dogs, tigers, lions, large snakes, bears, etc. With a maximum of twenty at once for small creatures and six at once for large. This is the standard level of Choju Giga available to most Genin and Chuunin.

[Kakaru looks to the side of the mountain with disdain. "I think I've done enough Earth training... my art needs attention too." Kakaru says to himself as he sits on the ground, his back supported by the mountain's craggy ground. Kakaru pulls out a red lined scroll from his pouch, along with a wooden tube from his belt under his coat, He opens the scroll halfway open and pops open the wooden tube to reveal an inked, medium sized calligraphy brush inside. He brings the brush to the paper and quickly draws several small snakes on the paper using the Gahou Tenrai drawing technique. Suddenly remembering what his father once told him.]

-Flashback-

[In a quaint sand village apartment, Kakaru's father is shown painting on an easel with a ink and a brush, he looks behind him and he smiles suddenly as a toddler, Kakaru shows up behind the his father and looks around him at what he's painted, a medium sized cat. Suddenly, his father looks behind him once again. "Nimpo, Choju giga" Kakaru's father says as he holds two fingers in front of his face. The cat began to wobble off the page and fall to the ground as it walked to Kakaru and began rubbing on his leg as Kakaru had a look of pure delight on his face as he began laughing.]

-End Flashback-

["Father... You entertained me with those Choju Giga creations so much... now it's my turn to learn how to do it!" Kakaru looks to the scroll where the snakes are drawn on as he puts two fingers in front of his face and utters "Nimpo, Choju giga" and concentrates his Chakra into those two fingers as the snakes begin squirming and slither off the page. The moment the ink snakes are fully on the ground, they poof into a splotch of Ink and dry extremely quickly. "Damn it. Gotta make them last longer."]

[Kakaru this time dips his brush into the wooden tube to get it coated with ink once again, then quickly drawing 2 small Praying Mantis-like insects on his scroll once again. Kakaru puts his left hand to his forehead and pulls down all his fingers but his pointer and middle finger down into his hand. "Nimpo, Choju Giga!" He then, once again molds his chakra into his left hand and his right hand, this time putting his right hand flat on the spool of the scroll as the mantis insects pull from the paper, walk about 2 feet above the scroll, look to each other and hit each other with their claws at the same time, both exploding into puddles of ink. Kakaru looks to the fast drying ink with a look at satisfaction as he once again dips his brush back into the ink tube, this time screwing the top back on after. Looking to the sandstorm still raging in front of him, not so far away.]

["Ok... Practice... Diligence... I CAN do this" Kakaru says to himself looking at the scroll and his Ink tube in his right hand. Swiftly he unscrews the top and removes his brush and brings it to the paper of the scroll. Quickly drawing 4 small mice with small spaces between them. Putting two fingers between his eyes and closing them he molds his Chakra and concentrates it to the fingers. "Nimpo, Choju Giga!" the small mice begin bulging from the paper and removing themselves from the scroll's paper. Quickly the mice scurry off of the scroll and onto the ground, darting over the small rocks all in a horizontal line formation before getting about 20 feet away from Kakaru's position. Suddenly the mice lose their definition and melt back into a small puddle of ink each."]

["Well... I'll be damned, they have a range of control." Kakaru says as he looks at the ink blotches that used to be mice. "Maybe... something bigger." Kakaru says as he doesn't bother to re-dip his brush. Putting the brush to the scroll he quickly draws a large lion on the scroll, puts his fingers between his eyes once again and says "Nimpo, Choju Giga!", The lion begins to warp off the scroll when fully off the paper, it looks to Kakaru and Jumps on him, pinning him to the ground, obviously out of Kakaru's control. Thinking quickly, Kakaru reaches to his side pouch and pulls out a Kunai, Plunging it into the Choju Giga Lion's head causing it to lose it's form and revert back into ink... all over Kakaru.]

[Kakaru stands up and sighs "note to self... don't make large animals until I've learned to control them". Kakaru flaps his arm, sending wet Ink flying. "urghhh, Looks like it's time for a bath. I know I saw a river near one of these mountains." as he looks around and finally sees the river in the distance, between two of the mountains, curving away from Sunagakure, as though avoiding the harsh desert at all costs. He replaces the Kunai he used to dispatch his faulty creation back in his pouch and begins walking towards the river to wash up.]

*Note: This post contains no actual training for Jutsu, it's only a continuation post.*


[After arriving to the bank of the river, the sides full of small to large rocks with the stream going through the middle gently. The water's Depth is around 4 feet, with more shallow areas. Kakaru removes his ink stained desert wrap and throws it to the ground. "Well, if I'm going to clean up my clothes here... I suppose I might as well start a fire to dry them off." Kakaru reaches around to his back pouch and removes a Kunai and finds a medium sized, dry river stone and puts it on the ground in front of him, laying the Kunai on top of it. "Ok... I need some nice, dry wood now." Kakaru looks around, noticing only a dried up, pretty much dead bush to the right of him, about 20 feet away. "I guess that'll have to do, looks pretty dead."Kakaru picks up his Kunai and begins walking to the bush.]

[When Kakaru is at the bush, he begins snapping the smaller branches from it. The branches being completely devoid of any living matter, only a few abandoned spiderwebs. After completely stripping the bush of all it's smaller branches and stacking them in a pile nearby, Kakaru sets his sights on the larger branches. Attempting to cut them with his Kunai, but he gives up quickly and puts his Kunai back in his pouch. Kakaru looks at the ground where the bush meets the ground he sees that the dirt is a bit loose, dry and crumbly. Suddenly he reaches out and grabs the bush by it's large branches and with a few tugs, pulls it completely out of the ground, roots and all. The roots are bare, completely devoid of dirt clinging to them, a good sign that the bush had been dead for a while.]

[Taking the bush with his left hand, tucking the branches he broke off under his left arm he drags his firewood to his makeshift resting spot. When he gets there he drops his wood into a pile and walks to the side of the River looking for dry rocks once again. After finding six large rocks, Kakaru arranges them into a circle about 3x3 feet in diameter. With that done Kakaru removes his equipment pouch, his overcoat, pants, gloves and undershirt. Leaving him only in a pair of plain white boxers. After looking in his pockets of his coat he finds a bar of soap, suitable for washing clothes and himself. He grabs his coat and his pants then begins to walk down the bank into the cool, shallow water. Taking the bar of soap he washes his coat, leaving a trail of ink and soap suds to travel down stream, he does the same with his pants. Rinsing them thoroughly he throws them on the bank as he lathers himself up with the soap then rinses himself off by sitting down and letting the current rinse him off.]

[Kakaru leaves the water and drys himself off on the clean side of his desert sheet. Grabbing a kunai from his pouch, along with some of his smaller branches to start a fire. He tosses the wood in the stone circle and grabs the first stone he got from the river's side. Taking his Kunai he begins to Scrape and bang the blunt side of the kunai against the rock, making sparks into the dry wood. Smoke begins to waft from the kindling. Suddenly Kakaru blows into it several times, causing the wood to burst into flames. Kakaru quickly throws a good bundle of the branches into the fire to feed it. Breaking off some of the larger branches, Kakaru drives them into the ground at an angle in front of the fire, but not too close and hangs his coat and pants on them to dry. Looking at the river he sees something floating down and realizes it's a couple of stalks of Bamboo. "Where the hell did that come from? It must've fallen in upriver... Finder's keepers!" Kakaru says as he walks into the water knee high and collects the Bamboo and brings it to land.]

- One and a half hours Later -

[Kakaru is seen looking over his jacket, still on the stick drying. He rubs the fabric between his fingers, feeling that it has become dry enough to wear finally. He looks to the fire, which has already gone through half the bush he had for firewood and all of the smaller branches. "Going to need some firewood if I'm going to stay the night here. As soon as I get this jutsu down, I need to get back to Sand. I don't want them thinking I'm a Missing Nin or anything." Kakaru says as he puts on his now dry undershirt, his coat and pants looking to the fire he tosses another branch onto it as he grabs his pouch and fastens it to the back of his pants.]

["If I'm going to end up staying the night here... I'm going to need some firewood and food. Both seem to be in good supply." He says before pulling out his brush contained in the wooden ink tube and looking at it. "I'm sure some smaller Choju giga can help me out with firewood and food. It'll probably be good practice too." He begins walking towards a small grouping of trees and green plants opposite of the area where he had found the dead bush. While walking he pulls out his blank scroll. When he gets to the trees, he looks to the ground and finds a few dead, dry branches from what seems to be a hardwood Maple tree. Sitting on the ground, Kakaru pulls open his scroll and removes his brush from the tube and brings it to the paper, quickly drawing two medium sized eagles.]

[Kakaru raises two fingers to his face and says "Nimpo, Choju Giga" the hawks begin to lift from the paper and look around. They start to flap their wings and take to the sky shortly before exploding into ink. "Well... that didn't work out the way I hoped." The Ink that was used to create the birds begins evaporating in mid air. "Well... that never happened before, I guess I'm making progress now." Eyeballing the wood, he picks up all the pieces of it he was planning for his hawks to carry to the campsites and then some, Totaling at six, 2 foot by 5 inch branches. Rolling up and putting his scroll and brush away and throwing the wood into a pile outside of the grouping of trees, he goes around looking for some edible plants and wildlife. ]

[After some searching, Kakaru notices some small light purple flowers on the ground. Remembering a lecture about survival in the ninja academy, he realized they were in fact, the flowers of the potato plant. Quickly he pulled out his scroll and brush, sat down, put the scroll on the ground and quickly drew the image of a medium sized mole. Putting his middle and index fingers together and to his face, he utters "Nimpo, Choju giga" as the mole comes to life and crawls off the scroll and immediately starts digging for the roots of the potato. After a little while, 4 potatoes come flying up with the rest of the dirt, the mole comes up with a bulb of garlic, "The sprouts must have been hidden by the potato's flowers" says Kakaru. Kakaru removes his jacket as the mole drops the garlic bulb and splatters into ink and quickly evaporated. Picking up the scroll, he rolls it back up and puts it in his pouch long with the brush in it's tube. He then brushes the dirt from the garlic and the potatoes, throws them into the middle of his jacket and takes all four corners. He then bundles up the food into it and tucks the end of it into his pants leaving the bundled food hanging on the side of his leg.]

[Walking to the pile of wood, Kakaru picks all the wood up and puts half under his left arm, half under his right arm and begins walking back to his makeshift campsite. When he makes it there, he drops the firewood and unhooks the jacket with his dinner in it and drops it next to the fire, next to the Bamboo, which have been Hollowed out earlier by Kakaru. He pulls the potatoes from the jack-pouch and brings them to the river, washing them before putting three of the potatoes on the rocks around the fire to cook. Popping 3 cloves out of the garlic he found, he drops them into a hollowed out piece of Bamboo and fills the bamboo up about half way with water from the river. Cutting up the last potato with a Kunai, he drops it in the bamboo and also puts it on the rocks on the side of the fire, on the other side of the other potatoes.]

["Well, it looks like I have another chance to try this out again." Kakaru says as he pulls out the scroll and brush from his pouch once again. "I'll nail it for sure this time!" Unscrewing the top of the tube, he undoes the scroll all in one motion, quickly once again painting a Lion, only slightly smaller than before. Throwing the rock he used to light the fire out about 10 feet Putting his fingers to his face once again he says, closing his eyes and feeling slightly tired due to Chakra consumption "Nimpo, Choji giga!" The Lion tears itself from the paper, roaring triumphantly it runs in the direction of the rock that was thrown. Getting the rock in it's mouth, it crushes it in it's jaws, leaving crushed gravel in it's place. The Lion looks to Kakaru next, who is continually holding the hand sign, now with his eyes open, looking at the Lion with fear in his mind from his previous encounter with it, Suddenly Kakaru shouts "RELEASE" and drops the hand sign, the Lion dropping into the ink it was created from once again. Breathing heavily in fear, Kakaru mutters to himself "Enough training for today, I'm tired as hell" as he looks at the sky, slowly becoming darker. "Time for dinner and to turn in for the night, I keep practicing tomorrow." he says as he rolls his scroll back up and puts his Brush in it's tube and makes his way to his fire.]

-The Next Morning-

The dawn begins to break, the birds begin their morning song in the trees of Wind Country. His fire reduced to embers, Kakaru Li lays beside it, covered with his now clean desert cloak on the soft grass, grasped in sleep. His face looking quite pale, his eyes move rapidly under his eyelids as his fears grasp him in an apparent nightmare. His leg twitches dangerously close to the fire as he suddenly sits up, his eyes flying open suddenly. Beginning to restore color to his face, now breathing heavily he looks around his surroundings. "Only a dream..." he states to himself as he looks to his fire, the embers still glowing brightly, his bamboo cup next to the fire. A medium sized hawk suddenly swoops down into the river, coming back with a fish in it's talons. Quickly Kakaru pulls out a Shuriken from his pouch resting next to him and hurls it at the bird, missing it purposely, but startling it and making it drop it's fish on land. "... I don't like doing this Hawk, but I can't fish with Kunai yet, so you had my breakfast" says Kakaru as he stands up slowly and walks towards the fish, flopping around about 10 feet from his fire. Quickly he hits the fish in the head with a rock, killing it swiftly. "Another thing I don't like doing, but food is food out here." He says as he picks the fish and carries it back to camp, brings it to the river and guts it with a Kunai. Bringing the fish to the fire, he pulls out a stick from his firewood pile and drives it into the fish's mouth and pokes it out just above the tail, skewering it. He sticks the other end of the stick in the dirt and the fish end over the edge of the fire pit, letting the leftover heat cook his 'catch'.


"Ok, so My Choju Giga didn't listen to me completely last night... but I swear, by the time I leave back to Sand today... it will." Kakaru says as he picks up his equipment pouch and puts the Kunai he used to gut the fish with back. Pulling out his art scroll from it's confines and grasping it tightly while retrieving the brush tube with his other hand. Undoing and pulling out the scroll with his teeth, screws off the top of the brush tube and removes his Inked brush. Quickly, Kakaru holds the scroll vertically and quickly draws the image of a massive anaconda, spanning the entire scroll's length. He puts down the scroll and replaces the brush in it's tube and caps it. Looking around for a target, he notices a large rock, about the size of himself. Kneeling under the scroll he shuts his eyes and molds his chakra to his hand, then places two fingers between his eyes and utters "Nimpo, Choju Giga" as the human sized snake thrashes it's way off the scroll and onto the grass. Moving with high speed at the rock it constricts around it and crushing it into rubble. Not content with the rock, the snake smashes it's tail into the close by mountain, making a massive indentation into the landmark's craggy surface. Kakaru opens his eyes and holds the Handseal as he sees the damage that the ink anaconda had wrought. The snake was now attacking anything in it's way including trees and animals. This was not what Kakaru wanted. "RELEASE!" Kakaru drops the handseal as the snake melts into the ink was created from.

Kakaru breathed a sigh of relief as the ink begins evaporating, leaving no trace of the snake, except for the amount of ink he originally used in a small puddle quickly drying. Looking around Kakaru noticed the damages mountain crumbling slightly from above the impacted site. "One more time... something not quite so... what's the word... terrifying." Looking to the scroll on the ground he gets an idea, quickly pulling out his brush once again, he quickly draws a Jaguar with haste. Placing his brush on the side of the scroll he once again makes the handseal and says "Nimpo, Choju Giga" The jaguar begins to pull off the scroll and stands before Kakaru for orders. Suddenly, the Eagle Kakaru threw a Shuriken at returns, swooping in at Kakaru, the Jaguar headbuts the eagle away and dissipates in puddle of Ink.

"Damn bird... must be really pissed I took his breakfast." Kakaru says as he stands up and begins molding his chakra in his throat, aiming himself at the Eagle. "Sumi Tobidougu!" Kakaru calls out and launches two medium sized blobs of ink from his throat, midway at their target they turn into five Senbon needles each for a total of ten. Once again scaring away the Eagle. Kakaru rubs the back of his head, frowns and says "He's a persistent son of a bitch, isn't he?" He walks back to the fire to see that his fish is done and ready to eat. "Heh, Lunch time." he says as he sits down in front of the fire to eat a nice, Eagle-less meal.

-1 Hour Later-

The fire had been doused with water, the rocks have been returned to the river, the bamboo had been floated back down the river back on it's original trek. All signs that Kakaru had been in the area were gone... except the giant scar in the mountain and a large pile broken stone. Looking over his damage, Kakaru checks for everything he came into training with. Everything accounted for, with the exception of the Shuriken he had used to chase off the hawk, he'd be returning to the Hidden Sand Village with everything, including some experience.

Adjusting his headband, he puts his desert cloak around his shoulders and begins walking towards the sandstorm and ultimately back home.
