**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

**Shōton (Crystal Release):** is a rare nature that can convert any matter into crystal, from physical material to moisture in the air, allowing them to turn anything into a weapon. This extends to other physical natures, rendering earth, water, and wood useless against it. Guren can use her abilities on living creatures, targets can be crystallized down to a cellular level, imprisoning them so long as the crystals are in place and shattering them if the crystals are struck, killing them. Crystal Release users can also manipulate pre-existing crystals and crystalline structures.

* **Jade Crystal Clone Technique:** By using the Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Mirror as a medium, Guren creates six clones of herself that emerge from the mirror. Due to them being made of crystal, those said clones can endure further damage than that of a shadow clone can.
* **Crystal Release: Crystal Pentagonal Prison**: Guren completely encases her opponents in pink crystal using the surface beneath them. When shattered, the bodies of the victims disintegrate along with the crystal particles. It is shown through examination with Shino's kikaichū that those affected by the technique are covered in a frostbite-like pattern.
* **Pressure Points of Harm and Death:** Guren releases two tenketsu points to greatly increase her chakra for a short time by changing her life force into chakra, allowing the use of taxing techniques such as Crystal Release: String of Glory. The amount of chakra released is so much that it becomes visible and causes water to form a vortex around her, similar to the one caused by opening the "Sixth Gate of Joy" from the Eight Gates. Her eyes also turn completely white momentarily.
* **Crystal Release: String of Glory:** After using the Pressure Points of Harm and Death technique, Guren encases herself in a prism of transparent blue crystal. The prism can hover in the air, but seems to be immobile. However, the prism protects her from almost any attack, as it was capable of withstanding a barrage of continuous Rasengan, only shattering in the end. In addition, this technique allows her to attack by focusing her chakra into powerful heat blasts launched through the prism's tip.
* **Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Blade:** Guren materialises a blue crystal blade on her forearm to engage in combat. It has proven to be durable enough to block shuriken and kunai. If need be, she can create a crystal blade on each forearm.
* **Crystal Armour:** This technique allows Guren to cover her skin with a thin sheet of pink crystal that improves her defence against physical attacks. This armour can also aid her to perform stronger physical attacks. The crystal is transparent and can only be noticed by light reflecting off it.
* **Crystal Release: The Gods' Crossings Technique:** Guren places her hand on a surface, creating a long stream of sharp blue crystals to bind and pierce a target.
* **Crystal Release: Crimson Fruit:** Guren creates a dome of pink crystal to surround a target. It is highly durable from both external and internal attacks, and can be used to either protect or trap a target.
* **Crystal Release: Jade Crystal Mirror:** Guren outstretches her arms in a position where her hands are open, and materialises a pink chakra-like energy into a large jade-green mirror in the shape of a snowflake. Which she can then use to perform the Jade Crystal Clone Technique.
* **Crystal Release: Tearing Crystal Falling Dragon:** The user crystallises a material in the area, and then turns it into a pink Chinese-like dragon with several pink horns and jade-green eye irides. It can be used as a means to travel or to attack a target. Several dragons can also be made and manipulated at once.

**Note:** Guren exclusively appears in the anime only Three Tails arc and as such no canon Naruto characters can scale from her or the entire arc.
