Earth Release: Pebble Storm

This technique tears up a portion of the ground and sends a swarm of pebble projectiles hurtling towards a target. This technique can be used both defensively, by hampering an enemy force's approach or constructing barricades by piling up the pebbles. It can also be used offensively, as the weight and velocity at which the pebbles travel can easily injure an opponent. This technique is excellent for guerrilla or ambush fighting. More advanced users can alter the size of the projectiles, turning them from pebble-sized pellets to the size of small boulders.
