Steel Release: Reisig Labmagen

Steel Release: Reisig Labmagen is a powerful Steel Release technique that causes sharp spears to jut out from the ground. This is done by the user placing his or her hands on the ground and channeling their steel nature chakra into the earth. This compresses and molds the precious minerals/metals found in the ground into sharp spears. The user must then lift up his or her hands which then causes them to thrust out from the ground. This can be used both offensively and defensively. The width and length of the spears depends on how the user molds the metals in the ground. These spears can also resemble different variations of swords, pikes, and other bladed objects.

The user can also choose to bring the blades in front of him or her, in the back, to the sides, or even around the user. This is done by channeling the steel nature chakra to where they want the metals molded. More experienced users can even focus all of the steel nature chakra into one place and then thrust it forward thus creating a line. When the user brings up his or her hands, it creates a long line of steel spears. However, the farther this jutsu travels, the weaker and smaller the spears become. As well, it can be taxing on the user physically so only experienced users can use this technique without much problem.

The steel blades or spears can be strengthened with the Steel Release: Stahl Herz to increase the durability and strength. This can be done while the spears are still within the earth. This technique is excellent at surprising opponents to venture to close within the range of the attack. It is particularly useful against Shinobi that focus on Taijutsu.

Trivia

 * Much like the nature transformation Storm Release, some of the Steel Release jutsu have English names that uses kanji to somewhat match them phonetically. However, unlike the Storm Release, it is in German instead of English.
 * Reisig Labmagen means Giant Maw in German.
