Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Mokuton (Wood Release):
*An advanced nature kekkei genkai that combines earth and water-based chakra natures to create wood or complete trees. This ability can also be used to build other aspects of trees, such as seeds or flowers. Wood Release techniques can be produced from anywhere, including the user's body, as the user's chakra is converted into a source of life.
*Moku Bunshin no Jutsu (Wood Clone Technique): The user creates a clone of themselves made out of wood. The clone is more durable than the regular shadow clones, and it can merge with plants and trees. It can also travel far distances from the user and communicate with the original.
*Mokuton: Daijurin no Jutsu (Wood Release: Great Forest Technique): This jutsu transforms the user's arm into big trees. The trees will expand rapidly and fork out to deliver damage or trap an opponent. The ends of the wood can be transformed into stakes for increased damage.
*Mokuton: Jukai Kōtan (Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence): After performing the correct seals, the user can convert their chakra into life energy to turn an area into a vast forest in a matter of seconds.
*Mokuton: Mokusatsu Shibari no Jutsu (Wood Release: Wood Smothering Bind Technique): In a similar manner to Wood Release: Great Forest, the user will transform their arm into a tree, creating multiple branches which will rapidly grow around the target and restrain their movement.
*Mokuton: Mokujōheki (Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall): This jutsu creates wooden pillars that rise from the ground and curve, locking together when they meet to create a dome-like shield. This technique is useful for defense against stronger attacks.
*Mokuton: Shichūrō no Jutsu (Wood Release: Four-Pillar Prison Technique): The user creates four large wooden pillars that rise out of the ground, along with many other slightly smaller wooden shafts to create a large cage around the target to restrain them.
Doton (Earth Release):
*One of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques. It allows the user to manipulate the surrounding earth for offensive and defensive purposes or create it, be it dirt, mud, or rock. These techniques can alter the landscape on a large scale, and solid earth barriers are commonly used as a defense. Some earth jutsu can even adjust hardness and weight properties.
*Doton: Doryū Jōheki (Earth Release: Earth-Style Rampart): This technique allows the user to create a gigantic rampart that rises out of the terrain. The amount of earth used can be increased with more chakra, and the landforms will take shape according to the user's will.
*Doton: Doryūkatsu (Earth Release: Earth Flow Divide): After performing the correct hand seals, the user can manipulate the surrounding earth to tear the landscape apart and create large chasms.
*Doton: Doryūheki (Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall): The user can create a large solid wall of earth and rock to instantly rise from the ground between them and the enemy as a reliable form of defense.
Suiton (Water Release):
*One of the basic elemental nature transformation techniques that allow the user to manipulate pre-existing water, or create their own, by turning their chakra into water. It takes a much higher skill to create the liquid than controlling what is already available and expelling it via the mouth. One of the most versatile of the five essential chakra natures, Water Release techniques can change the shape and state.
*Suiton: Hahonryū (Water Release: Tearing Torrent): This technique creates water that rapidly spins in the user's hand. The rotating water can be blasted at a close melee range to inflict damage upon a target or defend against fire attacks.
*Suiton: Takitsubo no Jutsu (Water Release: Waterfall Basin Technique): A water manipulation used for altering the terrain. The user creates a water spring, resulting in a wave-like water current. This technique can be combined with Earth Release: Earth-Style Rampart to form a waterfall.
