Earth Release: A Flower Named Stone Technique

This particular technique involves considerable concentration and a large portion of Zenkei's chakra to be able to effectively use. Upon designating the appropriate hand seals, each of which gather a certain portion of chakra to his hands, Zenkei slams the ground with both of his palms stretched outward. This impact causes a mild shockwave to occur, which is the earth underneath reacting with the sudden flood of Zenkei's chakra. Upon completely merging, and upon Zenkei's will, a spiked pillar will erupt from the ground, appearing as a needle-like protrusion, albeit on a massive scale, the size being similar to Earth Release: Sandwich Technique. Subsequently after, a number of protrusions begin to appear, though close-knit, but at random positions. After the completion of this technique, Zenkei is able to use it as a battlefield, applying the excess earth as a means to fuel the majority of his Earth Release techniques without having to create them using his own chakra. To hasten this process, Zenkei can apply clones into the mixture, allowing them to each perform a hand seal and donate the chakra provided to them to fuel the technique.
