Jutsu Name: Earth Style: Underground Shark Jutsu
Element: Earth
Rank: C-Rank
Type: Kenjutsu
Requirements: Earth Primary or Secondary Element
Description: After fully submerging himself underneath the earth, a user can force the bladed edge of his weapon through the surface of the ground creating the illusion of a shark's fin emerging from the water. The user then has free range to move around beneath the ground and slice any opponent's directly above him with the weapon. Although the user can have a general sense of where the opponent is located, the majority of his moves will be sporadic and undirected. An opponent can notice the weapon breaching the earth, but cannot attack the user until he has chosen to reveal himself or is forcibly brought to the surface via a technique.
Levels
~Level 1: A user of this technique will use 4 chakra each post it is active to replace stamina lost from the physica effort this jutsu requires. The weapon will only poke out of the ground slightly and the user will move slowly and inaccurately.
~Level 2: The jutsu at this level gains length as the blade is pushed higher out of the ground. The user will expend 3 chakra points each post to maintain the technique and barely moves than the previous skill level.
~Level 3: The technique now allows the user's bladed weapon to protrude from the earth to its full length, and the user will move almost as fast as above the surface. This technique requires 3 chakra each post it remains active to maintain.
~Level 4: At this level a user will lose 2 chakra each post this technique is active from an exertion of stamina. The user's attacks will mostly be direct and fairly quick. In addition the weapon will tear small lines into the ground as it moves, which can cause an opponent to trip.
~Level 5: By mastering this ability, the user's movements are accurate and lightning-fast, and will rip up the ground and create heavy environmental damage with his weapon as he moves around underground. The user will lose 2 chakra each post from an exertion of stamina.
