The Earth Style area of elemental nature transformation are techniques that allow the user to manipulate the surrounding earth for offensive and denfensive purposes; be it dirt, mud, or rock. Earth Style techniques have the ability to change the strength and composition of the earth from being as hard as metal to as soft as clay. This includes the user to travel through ground and rock in various ways which can be essential for both transportation and for setting up attacks or creating defenses or for offense. Indeed, this makes earth techniques one of the most versatile of the elemental techniques. Pre-existing earth is not necessary though, for the user can create it with their own chakra.
Earth Style affinities are the most common among the ninja of Iwagakure, and is commonly affiliated with the Snake sign and/or slamming their palm onto the ground.
