Freeline Manipulation

Freeline Manipulation is how Shūryō identifies his seamless control of earth element. He can with a wave of his hand and enough chakra contort the earth into whatever form he wishes, unless it is infused with another person's chakra. He claims that once with this power he made an entire city. It is an immensely versatile jutsu, allowing him to create earth walls, spikes, rifts, and whatever he wishes, up to the point of a city. It is one of the reasons Shūryō was so feared by the shinobi world.

Interestingly enough, this only seems to work on soil, not stone, conflicting with his Stone Life Conversion Technique.
