Earth Release: Earth Flow Spear Formation

This technique is a defensive application of Earth Release: Earth Flow Spears in which the user condenses mud or stone into several spikes that quickly protrude from the ground. Unlike its parent technique the earthen protrusions interlock with one another producing a formidable barricade. Due to the composite nature of the wall, it can sustain damage to its individual components without losing overall integrity. When combined with the fact that the defensive formation is coated with chakra, it is no surprise that this technique can defend against even sizable assaults without fail. Furthermore, the spiky nature of the wall makes it difficult for opponents to scale and circumvent.
