where did nagato come from?[/QUOTE
Exactly, this by no means is a versus thread though I do agree with that statement.
Can the preta path absorb fire style? water style? earth style? wind style? lightning style?
A little off-topic... The reason why I asked is because of the conversion of chakra to life energy. Wood style is different from lightning, fire, etc because it involves what is considered a living thing.
I believe it can. It would absorb the chakra out of the wood, making it just a tree and no longer a plant being controlled.
-Just like how Madara was attacked by Gaara's sand. The sand stayed as sand but was no longer manipulated by Gaara b/c there is no chakra in it.
--Without chakra it can't be controlled, this goes for wood release as well
So you're saying that Preta Path would be used to prevent Hashi from controlling the trees. That's an interesting point..
