Earth Release: Shielding Mountain

The user surrounds himself in a casing of Earth Nature Chakra around himself, which is invisible to all but users who can see chakra, such as those with Doujutsu. This layer of Earth Chakra is a preparation for this technique - Earth Release: Shielding Mountain.

When needed, the user may rapidly convert the chakra around himself into an extreme amount of Earth, rapidly growing out of the user, creating a huge boulder encasing himself. This would generate a shockwave which would repel most users and act as a powerful defense for the user himself. The size of the Earth Boulder Casing is dependent on how much chakra is put into it.

For Saibo Kazahana, the application of this technique is taken further, where it is used in offense as well, by causing Earth to grow from select parts of his body rapidly, creating a new form of Taijutsu Combat.
