Naruto: A Change In Time

Hey there all, its Arganaut here with the latest chapter of Naruto: A Change In Time!!! Well, last chapter, the beginning of the Third Exam was well on its way. Jiraiya had just made it to the arena where the Exam was to take place, joining his teammates Tsunade, and Orochimaru. Then, just as the teammates were talking, another team, the other team that won, entered the arena!

Where does this team come from? What will the brackets for the fights be? Why am I asking you all of these questions!? Well then, let's get on with the reviews so we can get on with the next chapter:

Psycho King-… Are you psychic or something?

Nara Shikaku- Glad you're looking forward to it.

Dragon Man 180- That dream would probably depress just about anyone. And as for that, I've given out hints that Jiraiya's chakra capacity is actually pretty high (seeing as he's able to use the jutsus he knows so well), so while he won't summon anything too grand, it would do.

Weasel Debater- Someday… but not too soon.

MissNaye- Glad to read that you're in stitches.

T.O.B.- Just wait and find out.

The Bloody Shadow- What's the points of Jiraiya's dreams… I dunno, I just kind of did them on a whim.

Static44- No, Orochimaru has still got to go.

Well, with the reviews out of the way, and the cobwebs in my head cleared up, let's get on with the next chapter of Naruto: A Change In Time!!!

Chapter 7: The First Battles of the Final Stage

Last Time on A Change In Time:

They all turned to see which people they would be fighting individually in the final Exam of the Chunin Exam…

And Now Our Featured Presentation

… And they were Iwa-nin from Iwagakure… dear God, when will they ever get a break? I mean come on, they just got done getting rid of the Kumo-nins in the last exam, why Iwa-nins now! You see, Iwa-nins, while they weren't nearly as notorious for the terrible treatment of Konoha-nins during the last Great Ninja War… they were pretty damn close. By the looks of things… these Iwa-nin are just as evil and despicable as their war-time ancestors.

They were at least a year older than team Sarutobi… and by the looks of it they were just as ready to try and mop the floor with them as the Kumo-nin were. Tsunade and Jiraiya were once again beginning to sweat, as they were just as afraid of Iwa-nins as they were Kumo-nins. Orochimaru… well he was just sitting there, thinking about what he was going to do after the Exams. 'Hmm… maybe I should rub my victory into the idiot's and ironing board chest's faces.' Orochimaru thought as he smiled a toothy grin.

The Iwa-nin walked up beside them, and stood in line with them. Just then Sarutobi leapt in front of the six combatants. Sarutobi looked at all of them with a small smile on his face as he reached into his kunai pouch. The competitors from Earth Country began sweating as he dug through the kunai pouch. Finally Sarutobi pulled out… a cigar. The visiting ninjas practically face vaulted as the older ninja brought the cigar to his mouth.

Sarutobi quickly did some one handed seals, and as he finished a flame suddenly appeared on the tip of his thumb. He lit the cigar, shook the flame out, and began smoking the cigar. He blew the smoke through his nose as he smiled. "Welcome to the final stage of the Chunin Exams." Sarutobi said as he continued smoking. "As some of you may know, this stage of the Exam is in the form of a tournament battle." Sarutobi said the Iwa-nin raised their eyebrows.

"Each of you will be taking place in one-on-one battles." Sarutobi said as he reached into one of his scroll pockets and pulled out a piece of paper. "Here's the chart for the entire tournament. Since there are six combatants, that means one of you will be getting a break in the semi-finals." Sarutobi said as the frog summoner and flat-chested girl began praying for the spot. "Here they are, please take a quick look over them please." Sarutobi said as he opened the scroll and showed everyone the battles.

They all began reading… and Jiraiya froze in place. Right there, in black and white… were the kanji for his name… saying how he was the first one to fight… but on the upside, if he won he would get a break in the second round… if he even made it that far. Jiraiya looked over towards the Iwa-nin he would be fighting… and the guy was crushing this huge rock in the palm of his hand. Jiraiya knew that it was most likely just a jutsu… but it was still rather intimidating …

At any rate, Tsunade's match was after his own, and Orochimaru's after that. Sarutobi sighed as he pulled back the scroll and pocketed it, while staring down each of the combatants. "Alright then… would the two combatants stay behind, while the others go up to the balcony?" Sarutobi said as Tsunade spared a glance at Jiraiya, while Orochimaru simply muttered something under his breath… sounded like 'dead man standing'.

Jiraiya was sweating like a fat man in a sauna as Sarutobi put a firm hand on his shoulder. "Good luck." Sarutobi said as he took one last deep breath on the cigar, and dropped it onto the ground. Now, this was something that was bothering Jiraiya all day…

"I didn't know you smoked sensei…" Jiraiya said as Sarutobi merely chuckled.

"Well, normally I have the chance to smoke before meeting you all… today was a bit too early for you to miss it though." Sarutobi said as he walked off, leaving poor Jiraiya on his own. Jiraiya faced the Iwa-nin who was staring him down quite intently, and Jiraiya just sighed deeply. Sarutobi turned to face the two combatants and watched as slowly each fighter stared the other one down. Sarutobi raised one hand and…. "GO!" Sarutobi shouted as he leapt backwards and the fight began.

Jiraiya and the Iwa-nin quickly brought out their own kunai and chucked it at the other, the two projectiles striking each other in the middle of the arena. The young Konoha-nin ran for the Iwa-nin, ready to sock the guy right in the face. Though Jiraiya tried to strike the Iwa-nin, it was increasingly obvious that, as the toad summoner's attacks were being blocked, that his hand to hand skills were second-rate compared to the stone ninja.

Jiraiya pulled out another kunai, and tried to stab the enemy, however, the Iwa-nin simply ducked under the punch, grabbed onto his opponent's arm, and threw him across the arena. Jiraiya quickly corrected himself in mid-air as he landed on all fours on the ground before bringing himself back up. He looked at his opponent, only to find that he had just gotten through a complex chain of hand seals. "Earth Release: Hell Tremors Jutsu!" The Iwa-nin shouted as he slammed his hand onto the ground.

Suddenly, the ground underneath the Iwa-nins hand cracked, and a trench in the ground formed, snaking its way to Jiraiya. Jiraiya found that the 'Tremors' part of the jutsu was correct, for the ground around him wouldn't stop shaking wildly, stopping him from jumping away. The opening in the ground reached under Jiraiya's left leg, causing it to fall into the hole. As he did, the tremors stopped, and he looked up to see the Iwa-nin smirking.

In the next instant the Iwa-nin closed his hand into a fist, keeping contact with the ground. As he did the cracks in the ground began slamming shut. Jiraiya panicked as he tried to pull his leg out of the crevice, before it became apparent that his leg was trapped. Jiraiya's hands quickly cycled through some familiar seals as he slammed his own hand into the ground. "Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld Jutsu!" Jiraiya shouted as the ground around his left leg turned to swamp.

Jiraiya swiftly pulled his leg out, just as that section of ground slammed shut, causing bits of swamp to fly all over the arena. However, he momentarily dropped his guard to sigh in relief, which was effectively cut off as the Iwa-nin ran up to him and punched him in the jaw. Jiraiya was sent stumbling backwards, as the Iwa-nin kept on pounding him over and over again. He eventually sent one kick into the young Konoha-nin's jaw, sending him flying a few feet away. The young soon-to-be-Sannin recovered in mid-air, just as the Iwa-nin began going through another set of seals.

"Earth Release: Stalagmite Massacre Jutsu!" The Iwa-nin shouted as he once again slammed his hand into the ground. The ground flashed brightly, as huge stalagmites shot up out of the ground, Jiraiya's eyes widened as he quickly went through a set of seals as he landed onto the ground. Before Jiraiya could shout the name of his jutsu, the stalagmites shot up out of the ground around him.

"YES!" The Iwa-nin shouted as the smirk that was on his face widened considerably. Tsunade simply clasped her hands over her mouth as tear appeared in the corner of her eyes, as Orochimaru and Sarutobi just stared at the mass of stalagmites. The Iwa-nin looked around for the whereabouts of his victim, and found a mass of white, spiked hair. "Found ya." He said as he pressed his hands into the ground, causing one last stalagmite to shoot out of the ground causing the object to shoot out of the ground.

The stalagmite forced out… a giant mass of white hair, literally. It was just hair… or at least that's what everyone thought until the mass of hair began unwinding, and revealing a certain previous pervert going through some seals. The rest of the members of team Sarutobi smiled when they saw Jiraiya finish the seals. "Fire Release: Grand Fireball Jutsu!" Jiraiya shouted as he blew a giant fireball at the Iwa-nin.

The Iwa-nin, in his mild shock, nearly didn't get out of the way of the fireball. However, he did move in time to avoid being fried… but the intense heat still made slight burns to appear on his skin. The Iwa-nin growled as he flashed through the seals for the Stalagmite Jutsu, however Jiraiya began going through a set of his own. "Earth Release: Stalagmite Massacre Jutsu!" The Iwa-nin shouted once more as Jiraiya landed, and finished his seals.

"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld Jutsu!" Jiraiya shouted as both he and the Iwa-nin slammed their hands into the ground. Swamp rushed to meet stalagmite as the two ninja's jutsus collided… though as the stalagmites tried to go through the swamp… the stalagmite risings became smaller… and smaller… until there was nothing. The Iwa-nin's eyes widened as the swamp rushed towards him. He tried leaping backwards to avoid the swamp… getting himself into a perfect position for Jiraiya.

Jiraiya went through another set of seals, and brought his hands to his lips. "Fire Release: Grand Fireball Jutsu!" Jiraiya shouted as a burst of fire shot out of his mouth, aimed for the place where the Iwa-nin had landed. When the Earth country competitor landed, he managed to dodge the stream of fire… until he noticed that the fire stream was still going and was moving for him. He quickly went through a quick set of seals as the flames completely engulfed him.

All of the Konoha residents began shouting and cheering as Jiraiya suddenly cut off the jutsu… revealing, not the sight of a burnt Iwa-nin… but a giant, human shaped lump of clay. Jiraiya stared at it as the pieces of the clay began chipping off of the body of the Iwa-nin as he slowly stood. "Earth Release: Clay Armor Jutsu." The Iwa-nin said as the last of the clay chipped off his head and he smirked at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya stared in amazement at this Iwa-nin… he expected him to be good, since he was a year older than him and all… but still, he has some good jutsu. Jiraiya thought about what the hell he was going to do, being given time to do so as the Iwa-nin was still stiff from using his clay armor… The toad summoner's eyes suddenly widened, as the smirk on his face slowly grew very wide while he looked at his slightly paralyzed opponent.

Jiraiya went through another a familiar set of seals, and brought his hands hand to do the Grand Fireball Jutsu. The Iwa-nin saw this, and did some seals as he shook his head. "You haven't learned a thing have you?" The Iwa-nin said as he bent down, and slammed his hand into the ground. "Earth Release: Clay Armor Jutsu!" The Iwa-nin shouted as the earth began rising out of the ground, encasing himself completely.

Jiraiya fired off another fireball as soon as the armor encased the Iwa-nin, and then began running around to the back side of his opponent as the fireball struck him. The fireball simply struck the clay armor… and did nothing once again. The Iwa-nin simply smirked as he was about to disengage the jutsu… till he felt a hand on the back of the armor. "Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld Jutsu!" Jiraiya shouted as suddenly the entire armor turned into swamp-muck.

The Iwa-nin shot up and began trying to get the disgusting grime off of his face… though as soon as he cleared it he was greeted with the sight of Jiraiya, with his hands to his lips with a wide smirk on his face. "Oh damn…" was all the Iwa-nin said as the dirty scum covered his face once again, and he brought his arms to his face as Jiraiya released the fireball upon him. The scream of the arrogant ninja lasted merely a second, until he was silenced.

Jiraiya cut off the flames, to see a giant hardened statue in the shape of the Iwagakure ninja… completely still. Everyone simply stared as Sarutobi walked over to the hardened shape… and flicked its face with his index finger. The face cracked… and cracked until it fell off, revealing the slightly burnt face of the panicked Iwa-nin. "Get me the hell out of this thing! I can't move a muscle!" He shouted as his face tensed up, revealing just how much he was trying to struggle.

Sarutobi smiled as he lifted Jiraiya's arm into the air. "By way of restricting his opponent's movement, Jiraiya will be moving on!" Sarutobi shouted as the crowds of people began cheering. Jiraiya was grinning from ear to ear because, according to the bracket, he was going to be moving onto the final rounds of this stupid Exam. He began walking towards the balcony area, ready to take a break for a while.

Jiraiya got to the balcony, and immediately received a quick hug from Tsunade, which nearly knocked him over. "Jiraiya-kun that was amazing!" She shouted as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Ah, it wasn't all that great." Jiraiya said as they all heard Orochimaru sigh.

"Don't be so modest you idiot…" Orochimaru said as a confused look came over Jiraiya's face as he leaned down towards Tsunade.

"Why, Orochimaru, was that a compliment, or an insult?" Jiraiya asked as Tsunade simply shrugged as they all walked over to the railing and watched as several Chunin, Jonin, and even Sarutobi cleaned up the arena for the next match… after all, Jiraiya and the Iwa-nin left it in shambles. There were several stalagmites jutting out of the ground, quite a few spots where Jiraiya's jutsu left a swamp, and even kunai were picked up off of the ground.

After several minutes of cleaning, the field was mostly ready once again. Sarutobi stood in the middle, and raised his hand. "Would the next two combatants for of the Exams please step forward?" Sarutobi said in a stern voice as Tsunade swallowed a lump in her throat as she began walking. Jiraiya sent her a silent good luck, and Orochimaru merely gave her a quick shrug as she walked towards the center of the arena for the exam.

The ninja from Iwagakure who walked down with her… surprisingly… or not so surprisingly was the female of the group. The two kunoichi faced off, staring each other down as Sarutobi once again walked towards them. The older man raised his right arm, gave one last glance to Tsunade, before bringing it down. "GO!" Sarutobi shouted as he once again leapt back, getting out of the way of the violence that would ensue.

Tsunade leapt backwards… and so did her female combatant. The Konoha kunoichi threw a handful of shuriken towards her opponent, and her Iwa opponent blocked all of them with her kunai. Tsunade grit her teeth as she threw a series of her own kunai at the Iwa-nin, who simply blocked all of them once again. Tsunade was beginning to become annoyed, as she ran for the female Iwa-nin… who kept on leaping backwards, away from the blonde girl.

Tsunade sent chakra into her legs, and tried to sprint for the Iwa-kunoichi. However, the Iwa-kunoichi went through a set of seals and slammed her hand into the ground. "Earth Release: Earth Shore Return!" She shouted as a wall jutted out of the ground, and blocked her opponent's path. Tsunade stopped... just in time to feel the wrath of another jutsu. "Iwagakure Secret Ninja Art: Separate Earth Jutsu!" She heard from behind the wall as a sudden 'ripple' effect went through the stone wall.

Suddenly the bottom of the wall began cracking, and it began tilting towards Tsunade's direction. Panicking slightly, she jumped backwards, barely dodging the crumbling wall. When Tsunade landed, and the wall hit the ground, the soon-to-be Legendary Sucker sighed in relief. However her respite was cut off when she heard someone's palm slam into the ground. "Earth Release: Stalagmite!" Tsunade heard the female Iwa-nin shout as her eyes became wide.

Just then a sharp stalagmite ripped out of the ground, so thick that it cut off the view of many of the spectators. The ones who could still see Tsunade... were very surprised, many of their jaws were slack, and some of them had fainted slightly from the excitement. The female Iwa-nin walked towards where she suspected Tsunade's body to be... only to find nothing. However, she wasn't too concerned, shrugging her shoulders while keeping a smug grin on her face.

"Heh... like that flat-chested bimbo had a chance against me anyway." The kunoichi from Iwagakure said as she laughed... and then little strands of nin-wire wrapped around her throat... and suddenly tightened as she was lifted into the air, grabbing onto her throat while choking badly. She looked up... to see a very irate Tsunade looking down at her, a huge, throbbing vein on her forehead.

"WHO YOU CALLING A FLAT-CHESTED BIMBO!?" Tsunade screamed as she pulled harder on the nin-wire. The female Iwa-nin pulled out a kunai, and cut the wire with it, releasing her from its grip. As she fell she threw the kunai at Tsunade, who saw the kunai, and gasped. She quickly bent her back, grabbing a section of the stalagmite with chakra powered hands, and letting the chakra in her feet go, allowing her to barely dodge the kunai.

She then let go off the stalagmite, and dropped down, drawing her fist back, getting ready to clobber the female combatant underneath her. However, the female Iwa-nin leapt away from the pissed off blonde, and then threw a series of shuriken at the ground where Tsunade would land. Tsunade, upon landing on the ground, leapt away from her place on it. She looked over to the female Iwa-nin... to see a familiar looking set of seals being formed by her swift hands.

"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld Jutsu!" The female Iwa-nin shouted as she slammed her palm into the ground, causing lots of the ground in front of her, and the ground Tsunade was about to land on, into the swamp a swam like her teammate had created. Tsunade's eyes widened as she formed the Ram seal, and focused chakra into her feet. Tsunade hit the surface of the swamp... and floated on top of it.

Everyone's eyes bugged out at this sight as Tsunade smirked. "Yeah, and who says chakra control isn't worth it!" Tsunade shouted as she began running across the surface of the muck, and towards the female Iwa-nin. She panicked as she flew threw hand seals, and slammed her palm into the ground once again, trying to create another stone wall... though when one barely an inch high popped out... that's when she really panicked.

"Aw, not enough chakra?" Tsunade shouted as she moved behind the female Iwa-nin. "You know, you really need to learn better control!" Tsunade shouted as she grabbed her shoulder, spun her around, and punched her in the face, causing her to fall backwards into the swamp. "AND THAT'S FOR CALLING ME A BIMBO!" Tsunade shouted as she punched her fist out. "YEAH!" She shouted as Sarutobi ran over.

After a quick check of whether or not the Iwa-kunoichi could move (or was still conscious for that matter) he smiled before lifting Tsunade's arm into the air. "Winner by knock-out and thorough restriction of her opponent's movement, Tsunade!" Sarutobi shouted as the crowd began bursting out into a round of applause. Jiraiya even leapt onto the railing of the balcony and began whistling at his victorious teammate.

Tsunade herself was celebrating as she jumped up and down in the air, cheering on about herself as she went back to the balcony. As she reached the balcony, Jiraiya leapt over and gave her a quick punch on the arm. "Now that's the way to go! You kicked her scrawny ass!" Jiraiya shouted as Tsunade rubbed her arm and smiled lightly. They both looked at Orochimaru, who was simply staring down his opponent.

The remaining Iwa-nin was slightly freaked out by Orochimaru staring him down, and that feeling only increased even more when the extremely pale boy smiled at him with a slightly psychotic grin. When the cleaning was finished, once again, Sarutobi walked into the middle of the arena. "Would the last two combatants of the final fight of the first round please step forward?" Sarutobi said as Orochimaru strode down there with a proud posture, while the last Iwa-nin walked down in a slightly nervous fashion.

Orochimaru and the Iwa-nin stood in the center of the arena, staring each other down... though it was clear that Orochimaru's stare was far more effective than the frightened Iwa-nin. From the balcony Jiraiya and Tsunade watched as the ninja from Iwagakure practically pissed himself with raised eyebrows. "You think he's afraid of snakes?" Jiraiya asked as Tsunade simply shrugged, and they both turned their attention back to the fight.

Sarutobi raised his hand in the air, and took a quick glance to the two fighters... and then dropped his hands. "Go!" Sarutobi shouted as he leapt back, and Orochimaru quickly picked out two kunai. He then began sprinting for the Iwa-nin who was barely able to get out a single kunai before the serpent like ninja tried to carve him up like a Thanksgiving turkey. Orochimaru tried to get a good stab into his opponent, but it was quickly parried by the Iwa-nin.

However, this left him wide open to the second attack of the snake-like Sannin, which Orochimaru used to try to stab the shoulder of the Iwa-nin. The Iwa-nin quickly ducked underneath Orochimaru's attack and took the window of opportunity to kick him in the gut, and sent him a few feet behind him. Orochimaru quickly corrected himself in mid-air, and landed on his own two feet, as he glared at the Iwa-nin who was going through seals.

"Earth Release: Stalagmite Jutsu!" The Iwa-nin shouted as Orochimaru leapt high into the air, avoiding the spear-like piece of stone. Orochimaru brought out several shuriken, and chucked them straight at the Iwa-nin, who was quickly going through a new set of seals. "Earth Release: Stone Dome Jutsu!" The Iwa-nin shouted as he slammed his hands into the ground, and two round pieces of earth rocketed out of the ground, and slammed into each other, completely covering the Iwa-nin.

Orochimaru grit his teeth as his shuriken and kunai simply bounced off of the dome... though he would quickly grimace upon hearing the muffled words coming from the dome. "Earth Release: Earth Cannon Jutsu!" The muffled voice shouted as suddenly the dome was broken into large chunks, and those chunks were launched straight at Orochimaru. Sarutobi's student's eyes widened as he focused chakra into his hands and feet.

Orochimaru then, taking after Tsunade's example, stuck himself to one particular rock, and allowed himself to go into the air, and then descend down. Orochimaru's hands let go of the rock as he began going through seals, and then brought his hand to his mouth. "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!" Orochimaru shouted as a huge gust of wind blew out, temporarily slowing the fall of his stone, allowing him to leap off, and run from the other falling boulders.

The Konoha-nin quickly stopped as soon as he was away from the boulder. He bent down, and lowered his hands onto the ground, and panted heavily. The Iwa-nin smirked as he went in for the finishing blow... only to see a sadistic grin on the face of his snake like opponent. "Hidden Shadow Snake Hand!" Orochimaru shouted as several snakes ripped out of the ground around the Iwa-nin, biting him in various places around his body.

The Iwa-nin panicked, and began trying to pull of the little scaley rats... until he froze. His vision began to blur, and his head began spinning. The Iwa-nin dropped to his knees, and emptied the contents of his stomach onto the ground as he fell to his side, and promptly passed out. Sarutobi did not need to check this one to know that the match was over. "Can we get some medics in here?!" Sarutobi shouted as several medic-nin rushed into the arena.

As the medic-nin took the apparently poisoned boy out of the arena, Sarutobi walked over to Orochimaru, and raised his arm into the air. "Orochimaru has won the last fight of the first round!" Sarutobi shouted as there were few cheers... since people were a little freaked out by Orochimaru's strange, and slightly sickening, tactic. Even Jiraiya and Tsunade were slightly freaked out by Orochimaru's fight.

"And... I have to fight him next round..." Tsunade muttered as Jiraiya sweat dropped, and Orochimaru slowly walked towards the steps that lead to the balcony. Sarutobi waited before raising his hand to the air.

"We will be taking a short break before the next round." Sarutobi said as he suddenly disappeared, leaving a crowd of people to talk about who would beat who in the next fight.

R&R

Original Jutsu Explanation:

Earth Release: Hell Tremors Jutsu - B-Rank - Range: Short - Long - An advanced form of Earth Release jutsu that is similar in style to the Swamp of the Underworld Jutsu. The user of the jutsu manipulates the area affected by the jutsu using large amounts of chakra. The intended effect of the jutsu, is to cause mass tremors around the opponent(s), in order to keep them from leaping away, while massive cracks in the ground form, and swallow them (either single body parts, or whole bodies).

Then the cracks close (the speed of this step depends on the amount of chakra put in) and crush the body (part) of the enemy.

Earth Release: Stalagmite Jutsu - C Rank - Short - Long - A simple jutsu which simply forces one sharpened stalagmite out from the ground towards the enemy, either causing blunt damage from striking the sides, or impaling them.

Earth Release: Stalagmite Massacre Jutsu - B Rank - Range: Short - Long - A more advanced version of the Stalagmite Jutsu. Instead of one singular stalagmite, this jutsu launches hordes of stalagmites towards the enemy.

Earth Release: Clay Armor Jutsu - C Rank - No Range - This jutsu, despite its name, does not always use clay to form the armor. Any raw clay-like material (stone, sand, dirt, etc.) is forced onto the body, and hardened with chakra. Though, a word of warning when using this jutsu, the materials being used are still earth-substances, so all Earth jutsus can use the armor s material. Also, while in the armor, one is unable to move for set period of time.

Iwagakure Secret Ninja Art: Separate Earth Jutsu - C Rank - Range: Short - A simple jutsu that simply takes an structure (or earth surrounding) and sends waves of chakra into it, causing it to separate from its surrounding. For example, the jutsu can be used to demolish an enemy building, or even cause an avalanche if jutsu is used against the face of a mountain. The jutsu is C Rank, in that not much chakra, nor control, is needed to perform it.

Earth Release: Stone Dome Jutsu - C Rank - Short - Simply put, this jutsu creates a dome of earth around the user, protecting them from attacks from all angles.

Earth Release: Earth Cannon Jutsu - B Rank - Mid - Long Range - This jutsu uses earth in the immediate area and, after being afflicted by chakra, is launched in the particular (or unparticular) direction the user wishes.
