  • Chitama

The user wraps themselves in a layer of earth chakra, with varying effects depending on the usage.

Description[]

The user molds earth chakra, causing black liquid to bond to their body like armor. As a result, the weight of the user's attacks go up, causing the user's strength to increase to the point that a simple striking force against the ground can cause large pieces of earth to break apart. Their speed is also greatly increased. The user's endurance also goes up while using this move, as the earth covering the user's body is able to take more damage than their actual skin. Using this technique in combination with taijutsu allows for special nintaijutsu techniques that focus on using the weight increase provided by the earth chakra to drastically increase the attack power of each punch or kick. This particular style of nintaijutsu is referred to as Earth Release Taijutsu (土遁体術, Doton Taijutsu) by those who use it, such as the members of the Shihōin clan.

Fujoshi's mother is also capable of using this technique, though she contained it to her arms and legs. Her version is also noted to have been more powerful than Fujoshi's.

Other Uses[]

Shinobi outside the Shihōin clan have also been seen practicing a technique under this name. In this variation, the user fashions earth chakra to gather rocks and minerals in the ground around them to fashion a sturdy suit of armor over their skin or clothing. Like the original version, it also strengthens the user's taijutsu. If the armor's durability is drained by repeated blows, it will crumble into sand, which can be made armor again immediately.

In another version, used by the shinobi of Iwagakure, this technique coats the users body with stones, making them much more resistant to attacks. While using this armour, the stone layer can be manipulated to form blunt weapons for stronger attacks. One can also change their appearance with the stone layer. It also seems that this armour is heavy and makes the user less quick, as seen when Sadai took the armour off and immediately increased his speed.

Trivia[]

  • When used outside of Yamagakure shinobi, this technique seems to require the following hand seals: Ox → Tiger → Dog → Serpent → clap hands together.
  • Additionally, it is listed as B-rank, rather than Yamagakure's listing of A-rank.
