Tsuchi no Bunshin

Name: Earth Style: Earth Clone Jutsu

Rank: C

Type: Ninjutsu

Element: Earth

Description: A technique used to make clones out of mud and earth from the ground. This clones would have a warlike personality and can explode themselves or when they disperse, they revert back to multiple small rocks.
Like other Doton techniques, they're instantly crushed when connected with Raiton ninjutsu.

Can they use jutsus?

Earth Clones..? Hmm, well although they're inferior to Kage Bunshin, so I'd say they can, but course only Doton jutsu (E-A) And it's added that the level of jutsu they can use depends on how much chakra is infused.

Clones are naturally infused with chakra equal to the conjurer, meaning making one splits your chakra evenly between the two. Are they stronger than shadow clones? Meaning, can they take more abuse?

no no, absolutely not, thy're inferior to Shadow Clones as they have limited range and a lower expierience than the orginal, but should it be said that they can contain the same amount of damage Kage Bunshin can..?

Sure. Approved.
