As you sit against the tree pillars pop out from your sides pinning you to the tree and restricting your movements. Yamato appears leaned against the tree.

Hey, buddy. How about we get this started? What's your name?

In other words, link me to your current eligible wood biography so we can get started with the fun.

* gets slightly flustered as he is pinned down*

I am Hashirama!
As Hashirama speaks, Yamato nods in acknowledgement.

Good, good... So, we are here to teach you Mokuton am I right? How about you tell me what you understand under Mokuton, how it is created, it's posibilites etc. In summary tell me everything you know about Wood Release.

OOC: Everyone that spammed has been reported, thank you =D

(Ironic the person who created wood release being taught by the man who was made from his cells :p)

Mokuton is created by combining water and earth, it is weak to lightning release and strong to earth and water release, as well as Bijuu chakra. Mokuton is the most creative KG as you can make jutsu's as big or small as you like, as detailed as you like and as creative as you like. The only thing that limits this KG is the user's creativity.

Yamato raises an eyebrow.

That's it? Come on you can do better than that!

Hmm, wood is strong against water because it blocks and obstructs the water stopping it advancing and wood is strong to earth as it will break through the earth technique. Wood attacks can be powered up with the use of fire, setting the technique on fire to make the wood more deadly

Wood Release or Mokuton is a advanced kekkei genkai which is created by combining Water and Earth nature chakras. Wood Release has two forms the original used by Hashirama in which actual trees and vegetation are created, and Yamato's version which is more like carpentry wood. Wood Release is basically a kekkei genkai that creates life and can be used in countless ways. The most versatile element of all, the user has the incredible freedom of creating whatever he wants by using only one technique. Wood can be used to attack, defend or evade but it's most common and most useful usage is trapping. Perfect for binding enemies, or creating structures to defend or attack. The sheer posibility to create whatever you desire is amazing no matter if you want a small key, a bird cage or a huge house. It is very useful for getting quick weapons or for distractions.

Onto it's strengths and weaknesses. Wood Release is strong against it's component Earth, which it can easily break and penetrate, and Water which it is highly resistant to. As shown in the recent manga, it is also strong against Bijuu Chakra having the ability to absorb it which also makes it extremely powerful. It is weak to lightning which can easily destroy it and neutral to fire (meaning a fire technique and wood technique of the same rank can cancel each other out).

I was expecting more from you but we will continue nonetheless. I'm sure you'll do better as we go on.

Now I want you to focus you to perform the snake hand seal and focus your Sui chakra in one hand and Do chakra in the other hand mixing them together. After you've done that we'll continue. And be descriptive as I know you can be ^^

Sowie, I suck at describing KG >_<

*I focus my chakra and bring my hands together in the form of the snake handseal. I then seperate my chakra into two hands, sending one half to my left hand and the other half to my right. After I have moved the chakra I focus on the chakra in my left hand, picturing a flowing stream and manipulating the chakra, changing it into a watery nature, splashing around in my left hand. Then after manipulating the chakra in my left, I move on to my right. Focusing solely on the right I feel the ground under my feet, feeling the strong firm nature of earth, I manipulate the chakra changing it properties to that of earth. Now that I've manipulated the two sections of chakra, I bring them back together, combining water and earth, mixing them to create a new pool of chakra. Wood chakra.

Good, good. What do you feel when creating that chakra?

Now that you've succesfully created and focused that chakra send it into the ground before you. Use the chakra to create a pillar of wood, about 1 meter high and 30cm wide.

I feel almost god-like, with the ability to create what I wish

*I use my new found chakra in my hands and transfer it through my body and down into the ground before me. I then shape the chakra into a relatively small circle, around 30cm in diameter. I then force the chakra upwards, causing a relatively thin pillar of wood to rise up quickly from the ground, rising to 1 metre in height*

Yamato approaches the pillar inspecting it closely.

Good job for the first time.

You have learned your first wood technique.


(Mokuton No Jutsu) - Wood Style Technique
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary/Attack/Defense
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 10
Damage: 20
Description: Creates small wood pillars or trees to trap, defend, or fight with. These can be created from the users own body or from the ground.

Now a bit about this technique.

How it is created/performed: The very basic Mokuton technique. This technique and it's older A-ranked brother are the bread and butter of Mokuton. The very basic technique with which you can do almost anything you wish. Now, you have several ways of performing this technique. You can create Mokuton from either Water, Earth or yourself which makes it usable in every terrain/location you find yourself in. Usually it is performed by doing the snake hand seal and creating the wood contraptions where you want (while keeping the range of the techhnique in mind of course). You can also create the pillars from your body to help you in Taijutsu as shown by Yamato. In this case, no seal is necessary. You can go with no hand seal but I like to stick to the Snake hand seal to avoid unneccesary arguments in battles.

Usage examples: Now the technique itself is useful, but the problem is it's low rank. The D rank restricts you heavily if you plan on using this for offense (binding, hitting impaling). The most simple D-rank Lightning Armor technique can destroy the wood rendering it useless. The best way to use this technique is to create pillars which push you out of the way of an attack. That way you perserve chakra. Another useful situation I see this technique is usable in is Taijutsu. Using pillars for surprise attacks creating them either from your body or the ground to temporairly bind your opponent. Those are the main uses though you can do whatever you imagine.

Weaknesses and Strengths:
-Extremely versatile
-Great for evasion, binding, attacking and other activities.
-The possibilty to create it from anyplace you want to.

-Low rank
-Only Mid range


Additional notes: Now regarding the number of pillars/constructions you can make. The way I was taught, you are not limited to the number of pillars but the more you make the weaker they are. If for example you create one pillar than it has it's full strength and potency, but if you make two each pillar has half the strength than one. It goes on, so the more pillars you make the weaker they are. Keep that in mind.

If you have any questions feel free to ask them.

Alright. Now we focus on the actual manipulation of the wood. You created a pillar which you can use for whatever you want. Now I want you to focus your moku chakra, sprout a pillar from the ground and touch the pillar. Using your chakra and shape manipulation I want you to form the pillar created into a long staff which you can use for combat. Here, I'll show you.

approach the pillar you created focusing my Moku chakra into the pillar. Focusing on the shape of the wood I channel my chakra into it and begin changing it's shape. In only seconds I have a long staff in my hands spinning it around.

Try it for yourself.

Okay!

*I build up my moku chakra and channel it into the ground in front of me, I then force the chakra upwards creating a pillar identical the my previous one. I then walk up to the pillar and places hand on it. I channel my moku chakra into the pillar and carve off the outer portions of the pillar, shaping it into a long staff, once I have finished carving I stand there with my newly crafted staff in my hands*

You learned:

(Mokuton: Moku no Goku Rendan) - Wood Release: Wood Pole Combo
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 20
Description: The user creates a thin pole of wood from either the ground or himself. The pole itself can be used as a hand to hand weapon to strike opponents or as a support tool.

How it is performed/created: A simple technique that requires shape manipulation to create a staff or pole. You can either create it from the ground, your body or from a beforehand created wood technique. Simply channel your chakra and shape the wood into a wooden pole which you can use as a weapon.

Usage examples: You can always use this technique to get a weapon quickly. The greatest value in this technique is it's availability and variety of usage. You can use it to get a weapon for taijutsu, or throw it and use it as a distraction.

Weaknesses/Strengths:
-Great way to get a weapon quickly
-Availability on any terrain

-Low rank


I always say this, if you have any questions feel free to ask them ^^.

For the next technique I want you to focus your chakra in the ground or in your hands and focus on creating 3-4 kunai sized stakes of wood which you can easily throw.

No questions ^^

*I build up my moku chakra and channel it into both of my hands, I then seperate the chakra in each of my hands into two. After seperating the chakra I focus my one of the halves in my left hand, I picture a standard kunai knife and start to manipulate the portion of chakra into this shape, after a second or two the portion of chakra is the shape of a kunai, I repeat this process with the last three portions and then release the chakra, creating four wooden kunai in my hands*

Alright, moving on. Note that you do not create actual kunai, but wooden stakes that are the size of the kunai.

Next technique is:

(Mokuton: Moku Henge) - Wood Style: Wood Transformation
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10 (-5 per turn to keep active)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: By focusing chakra and performing the Bird → Dog → Snake hand seals, the user makes wood pillars sprout from the ground and cover his whole body, while using chakra to cover it with precision to produce the desired effect. By covering the wood with his chakra the user is able to transform it into another shape or form with increased detail, by using his wood chakra. This is used to create an effect similar to the transformation technique but to a higher degree of detail and realism.

How it is performed/created: After focusing your Moku chakra you perform a sequence of three hand seals and make wooden pillars sprout from the ground and cover your whole body. With fine chakra control and precision you will cover your body to get the looks you desire to have. By covering the pillars you created with chakra you are able to recreate a shape or form with amazing detail. This is just like the regular transformation but more detailed. It is more a costume than a standard transformation since you can jump out of it at any time.

Usage examples: Useful for creating diversions and confusing the enemy by transforming oneself into the enemy or a animal, tree or whatnot. What you transform into is limited by your own imagination. Can be combined with clones. Keep in mind that you cannot use the abilities of the person you transform into and that you will remain with your own chakra, so that sensory and Dojutsu can easily see through this deception.

Advantages/Disadvantages:
-Useful for distraction and diversion
-Quickly conductable
-User can easily remove the wooden "shell"

-Easily noticable by sensory and Dojutsu

Cool ^^

*I gather my moku chakra and form a small sequence of handseals, then I cause several pillars of wood to raise up and encase me. I then send moku chakra around my whole body and out into the wood encasing me. I then start to manipulate the wood, carving and shaping it like a master carpenter, turning the wood that encases me into a complete shell which is identical in appearance to you. With the same facial features, hair and even the same clothing*

Outstanding. Next technique is:

( Mokuton: Mokuchū Noboru ) - Wood Release: Wood Pillar Climb
Rank: D
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: 30
Description: The user manipulates their wood natured chakra to create a pillar of wood rise up beneath the opponent lifting them into the air.

This is a rather self explanatory technique. Just like the basic one, you create a piller of wood beneath the opponent lifting him up. Great for distractive purposes though you can use the basic technique for this also. After raising him you make him vulnerable so you can shoot some techniques at him.

Just create a pillar beneath me and take me to the sky.
