Tsuchigami
(土神, Earth God)
Unique - Offensive
The Tsuchigami is a sword crafted specifically for use by Karasuba. It is a katana of average length, with the exception of a slightly lengthened handle, and has no outwardly impressive visual characteristics.

Tsuchigami was crafted of chakra-reactive steel, and was made to be used with Karasuba's earth element. In addition to making it easier to flow one's chakra through it, the weapon also bears the ability to spatially recompose earth-element chakra. This could not only allow her to produce earth from the sword itself but could also aid in the use of other earth-element techniques, making it a potent weapon in Karasuba's arsenal.

Doton: Moguragakure no Jutsu
(土遁・土竜隠れの術, Earth Release: Hiding Like A Mole Technique)
C-rank - Ninjutsu - Supplementary
This technique changes earth into fine sand by channeling chakra into it, allowing the user to dig through it like a mole. This effect goes around the body (not just the hands), making it just large enough for a person to move through. The user can pinpoint where they are, despite being underground, by sensing the magnetic forces. They can also sense what is happening on the surface and use that information to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. One can also hide deep in the ground, escaping to a depth where the enemy can't reach.

Doton: Shinjū Zanshu no Jutsu
(土遁・心中斬首の術, Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique)
D-rank - Ninjutsu - Supplementary
This technique conceals the user underground and drags the object of their attack down into the earth, robbing them of their freedom. In addition, they can start another attack. This technique was originally used for torture, by cutting into the enemy's neck.

Tsuchi Kandō no Jutsu
(土感拍動の術, Earth Motion Pulse Technique)
C-rank - Ninjutsu - Supplementary
A sensory technique that picks up on minute seismic activity created from anything walking on the earth over a vast distance. By simply placing one's fingers on the ground and concentrating, the user can get an accurate picture of the number of people for well over a mile, as well as their distance relative to the user.

Ishikiri no Jutsu
(石切りの術, Stone-Cutting Technique)
C-rank - Ninjutsu - Supplementary
This technique uses the earth element to achieve the effect bestowed by its name. Karasuba flows earth element chakra through her sword and takes advantage of its ability to soften the composition of the earth. Using this, Karasuba is able to give the appearance that she is cutting through the stone when in fact she is merely softening it as her blade moves through-- not unlike a hot knife through butter.

Karasuba even adapted this technique and can send out a crescent shaped wave of this chakra through whatever earth she is cutting to greatly extend the range of the technique. She has been known to slice through entire boulders, walls, and other earth-based fortifications.

Saku Chitei
(割く地底, To Divide the Depths of the Earth)
B-rank - Ninjutsu - Offensive - Supplementary
A more powerful form of Ishikiri no Jutsu. Using Chakra Flow, this technique requires a bladed weapon and a greater understanding of what can be effected by the earth element. By feeding chakra into the weapon, the ninja will increase the length and density of his blade to strike an enemy from several feet out of the physical blade's range. This is accomplished by creating an invisible extension of chakra that shapes into an edge that functions like the normal blade itself.

By flowing earth-element chakra through her sword, Karasuba is able to break down the material within other earthen materials like rocks, stones, various gems, even metal. Doing this allows her to cut through these materials with the ease she would anything else. Karasuba is only able to create a modest extension of this technique-- about a foot and a half-- but primarily uses it to cut through whatever earthen defense is in her way.

Doton: Domu
(土遁・土矛, Earth Release: Earth Spear)
B-rank - Ninjutsu - Supplementary
After the needed hand seal, the user flows chakra through all parts of their body, which hardens their skin to a steel-like quality. This increases their defensive power to the utmost limits. The user's skin becomes much darker, an almost black colour. Furthermore, the destructive power of physical attacks is increased, making this a great all-purpose technique. Few techniques can penetrate or damage this technique, not including its undeniable weak point: Lightning Release ninjutsu.

Karasuba demonstrated the ability to use this to cover herself partially (i.e. her hand and lower arm, and the side of her head) without using hand signs, which gives her a significant tactical advantage against ambushes. She has even applied this technique to her own sword.

Kumo-Ryū
(雲流, Cloud Style)
Unranked - Kenjutsu - Offensive
This is the signature style of swordsmanship used by the Cloud Village shinobi. The style often uses wide, sweeping motions with the sword that carry much force, much ground before the user, or both. Its attacks are deadly and tend to aim at beheading their target in one strike, as noted by most of their names.

Kumo-Ryū Mikazukigiri
(雲流三日月斬り, Cloud Style Crescent Moon Beheading)
B-rank - Kenjutsu - Offensive
The user utilizes a large extent of their physical capabilities to swing their sword in a single large arc, which occurs with such ferocious velocity that the technique can be employed in situations where only a very limited time to react is available. The swing can be used to counter attacks from multiple opponents simultaneously. The technique receives its name due to the entire movement being reminiscent of a crescent moon.

Kumo-Ryū Uragiri
(雲流裏斬り, Cloud Style Reverse Beheading)
C-rank - Kenjutsu - Offensive
The user does a powerful spin, generating the momentum needed to slash at any opponents behind them. The user can also utilize this spinning motion to trick an enemy that's in front of them. The enemy is fooled into thinking the user will attack them, but instead the user attacks the targets behind the user.
