Earth Release: Earth-Style Rampart

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. The ability can thus cause physical damage to opponents while in the process of defending oneself. If the user increases the volume of earth too much, he can be forced to keep his chakra consumption down.

Trivia

 * Although this is listed as being a mid-range technique (between 5-10 metres), in the manga it appears to have a much larger area of effect.
