Wood Release?[]

Figured I'd ask first (though someone will probably add it before this gets a response) if the sentient God Trees should be considered users of the Wood Release after the latest chapter. OmegaRasengan (talk) 16:19, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't respond first. I personally believe this is Wood Release. The Ten-Tails during the Fourth Great War was classified using the Wood Release, so I see no reason to believe these sentient God Trees can't do the same.Steveo920 (talk) 18:33, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
I also agree that the sentient God Trees, but also the Ten Tails' Jinchūriki, should be considered Wood Release users. Why? Because Obito as the Ten Tails' Jinchūriki was not only able to let appear a tree trunk with Rafflesia-like appendages from the ground for using the Bijūdama (thus creating wood from scratch, like Hashirama and Ashura in the Anime), but also shaping the already existing wood at the base of the Ten Tails' tree form into dragon-like entities to attack the Allied Shinobi Forces that tried to cut it down. And Madara as the Ten Tails' Jinchūriki was able to manipulate the already existing roots of the God Tree (aka the Ten Tails' tree form) to bind the victims of the Infinite Tsukuyomi (God: Nativity of a World of Trees). Also, Hashirama, a Wood Release user, recognized said technique as the Jukai Kōtan. Now you might say: nonsense, Wood Release can only be used by combining Water and Earth to create Wood. But: Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow shows the Yukigakure Shinobi using Ice Release techniques by manipulating already existing ice. It may be not a Kekkei Genkai or elemental combination in their case, but nevertheless Ice techniques and thus also Ice Release. Also Earth, Lightning (Sasuke while using Kirin), and especially Water Release users were shown to use already existing components for their elemental transformations to use said techniques instead of creating it in the first place. What I want to say with this: In my opinion, not only the Ten Tails and the sentient God Trees should be considered Wood Release users, but also the God Tree itself (if it had the mind to manipulate the wood it's body is composed of), and Obito and Madara as the Ten Tails' Jinchūriki. And the God: Nativity of a World of Trees should be, based onto my argumentation, considered a Wood Release technique. What do you think?--Kaguya-kimimaro9999 (talk) 22:22, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Yes. It would also explain how Hashirama's genes were able to enhance the White Zetsus. Because Hashirama's Wood Release was more refined than theirs. Also, at least in the anime, it would explain how Asura first gained the Wood Release himself. He inherited it from his Ten-Tail's Jinchuriki father.Steveo920 (talk) 13:43, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Nope. The movie Ice Release argument is non-sense since that isn't canon to manga and anime. Asura using Wood Release is similarly uncreative non-sense the anime made to make parallels between the reincarnations (need I remind anyone of the anime ignoring Indra's canon MS design?). Obito and Madara could use Wood Release via grafts before being jinchuriki already, so any posterior use can be attributed to that. There was a similar discussion about this already when Obito used Wood Release: Cutting Technique through the Ten-Tails. Prior to databook, general consensus was that Obito was using it though the Ten-Tails, but even after the databook listed Ten-Tails as a user, the text and images in the entry didn't show Ten-Tails' use. We still list the Ten-Tails use, but with the Obito annotation as it never used it by itself. Controlling the body of tailed beast is just that, the body of it being a tree doesn't necessarily make it Wood Release. We also have instances of "elemental" stuff not being nature transformation, like Inorganic Reincarnation, and Inukaitakerunomikoto. White Zetsu having WR can be explained by the simple fact that Madara grew the Hashirama clone attached to the Gedo Statue, where the White Zetsu were "spawned" from. Steveo, you've jumped the gun on this before yourself, back when Claw Grime was its own article, for some reason you added that the Claw Grime becoming a tree when eating someone was somehow a Wood Release ability that Code granted them through his tinkering of them, ignoring that becoming a tree is part of their life cycle. I don't preclude the possibility of what they do being Wood Release, but with the currently available information, this is speculation, because WR in this series is a mess. Let's also not forget the still unexplained WR from Moegi in case Matsuri displays anything for explicit. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:53, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
Fair enough. Just asking because I don't want to make mistakes in adding anything.Steveo920 (talk) 02:02, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

The recent chapter confirmed. I think it’s safe to say all sentient God Trees can use Wood Release. OmegaRasengan (talk) 15:20, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Gender[]

In Japanese, are gender pronouns used with the sentient God Trees? OmegaRasengan (talk) 17:45, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

…or not? OmegaRasengan (talk) 16:49, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
