The target experiences the illusion of a tree coiling around them, preventing them from moving. Because targets are immobile yet still conscious, this technique is a useful way to perform interrogations. Alternatively, users can simply kill the immobilised targets;[1] when Kurenai Yūhi attempts to do this, she emerges from the tree above the target to cut their throat.[3] This technique has been passed down through the generations among Konohagakure's villagers.[1] It was originally created during the time of Hashirama Senju, intended to make victims believe they were fighting Hashirama himself and his Wood Release.[4]
