Earth Release [Apprentice] While her mastery of the element is still lacking, the shinobi shows promise, and has managed a few tricks utilizing the art. While earth techniques are most often valued for their defensive capabilities, Kyuu focuses instead on techniques geared toward mobility and spacing. She's capable of running along walls for short periods of time and travelling a limited distance by means of churning the earth or stone quickly beneath her feet, zipping herself - or sometimes nearby ally or opponent - in whichever direction she choses.
Earth Release [Journeyman] Earth techniques have become one of the kunoichi's specialties. Utilizing the element with a view to mobility and spacing, while capable of creating walls and pillars of hearty stone, most often she uses the art to zip things from one location to another by churning the earth beneath their weight, or abruptly morph the ground to swallow herself or attempt to entrap her opponent under the surface of the earth. While unable to breathe while underground, she can move swiftly through stone or soil to pop up in unexpected locations. Her consistent practice has broadened her range of control, extending her reach to contend with the span of a shuriken's flight.
