Earth Release: Stone Cannon Technique - a ninjutsu that allows the user to attack the opponent at any distance. The user forms earth chakra in their body and releases several small stone projectiles through their mouth. At first they are no larger than a bullet, but in flight they rapidly increase in size and crash down on the target as enormous boulders. Orochimaru noted that if the technique were applied by several shinobi at the same time, it could destroy a mountain.
